Beverage chilling apparatus

A method of rapidly chilling a liquid in a container, comprising the steps of:

• placing said container in a compartment of a chilling apparatus;
• placing a coolant in a coolant receptacle of said chilling apparatus adjoining a part of a side portion of said compartment, said side portion of said compartment having at least one aperture such that said coolant passes through to said compartment and surrounds said container therein;
• and
• rotating said container within said compartment to thereby chill the liquid in said container.

A chilling apparatus for chilling a liquid in a container, comprising:

• a compartment sized to accept and retain said container;
• a coolant receptacle disposed adjacent to at least a portion of said compartment, for retaining a coolant, said at least a portion of said compartment having at least one aperture to enable said coolant to flow through to enter said compartment and surround said container therein;
• and
• means for imparting wobbling rotation of said container within said compartment to enable the liquid in said container to be rapidly chilled by said coolant during said wobbling rotation.

A chilling apparatus for chilling a liquid in a container, comprising:

• a compartment sized to accept and retain said container;
• a coolant receptacle adjoining at least a side portion of said compartment, for retaining a coolant, said side portion of said compartment having at least one aperture to enable said coolant to flow through to enter said compartment and surround said container therein, wherein the liquid in said container is rapidly chilled by said coolant when the container is rotated within said compartment by a rotation means;
• and
• a salt dispenser annexed to at least one of said compartment and said receptacle, for receiving and dispensing salt into said coolant within said compartment.

A chilling apparatus for chilling a liquid in a container, comprising:

• a compartment sized to accept and retain said container;
• a coolant receptacle adjoining at least a side portion of said compartment, for retaining a coolant, said side portion of said compartment having at least one aperture to enable said coolant to flow through to enter said compartment and surround said container therein;
• rotation means for rotating said container within said compartment to thereby rapidly chill the e liquid in said container;
• a holding member removably attachable to a top portion of said container, to hold said container and facilitate rotation thereof during chilling, said rotation means being attached to said holding member;
• and
• a cover fitting over a perimeter of said apparatus, wherein a shaft of said rotation means passes through an aperture of said cover and connects to said holding member, and said cover having an aperture overlaying said coolant receptacle to enable filling of said receptacle with coolant when said cover is already fitted atop said apparatus.

A chilling apparatus for chilling a liquid in a container, comprising:

• a compartment sized to accept and retain said container;
• and
• a coolant receptacle adjoining only a side portion of said compartment, for retaining a coolant, said side portion of said compartment having at least one aperture to enable said coolant to flow through to enter said compartment and surround said container therein;
• wherein the liquid in said container is rapidly chilled by said coolant when the container is rotated within said compartment by a rotation means.
