Abstract:
The invention relates to a device (1 ) for cooling or frosting at least one container (2), in particular a glass or mug, by means of cold air, the device (1 ) comprising a base (4) with a container receiving portion (3), at least one air inlet (5) and an annular chamber (7), whereby the container receiving portion (3) is comprised with the at least one air inlet (5) through which cold air may be introduced into the annular chamber (7), wherein the container receiving portion (3) comprises an air outlet portion (10) comprising a pipe (9) extending upwards into the at least one container (2), the pipe (9) being configured to suck the air out of the at least one container (2). The at least one air inlet (5) is positioned at an outer circumference of the annular chamber (7) so as to introduce the air into the annular chamber (7) tangentially, thereby generating a swirling upward air flow which is led as a thin layer along the inner surface of the at least one container (2) being placed on the container receiving portion (3), thereby cooling or frosting the container (2).
Abstract:
A system for cooling a beverage and maintaining its temperature solves the problems and challenges that arise when serving drinks. The optimal temperature of the served beverage enables the optimal enjoyment of the beverage. On the other hand, it allows the host to prepare for a larger group of guests who all expect a perfectly cooled drink. The system for cooling the beverage and maintaining its temperature comprises a glass (1) with a container (2) into which a cooling agent (3) is filled and a liquid nitrogen dispenser (4) with a dispensing element (5) - a nozzle. The container (3) is fixedly attached to the inner surface of the glass (1). From the dispenser (4), liquid nitrogen from the cylinder is fed into a glass (1) through a sealed system. Liquid nitrogen immediately cools the glass (1) with the container (2) and the cooling agent (3).
Abstract:
A device for chilling beverages using molded ice which encases at least a portion of a weighted frame that may suspend an object inside the ice. The device comprises a mold and a weighted frame optionally with a suspension element. The mold shapes a piece of ice used to chill a beverage. The frame is encased within the ice and the frame is weighted to counteract the buoyancy force of the ice inside the beverage such that the ice floats between the bottom of the beverage container and the surface of the beverage. The frame may have a suspension element for suspending an object inside the frame and the ice.
Abstract:
Es wird ein Trinkgefäß (1 ) vorgeschlagen, in das Trockeneis eingebracht werden kann, um Nebel über dem Getränk zu erzeugen. Um ein Verschlucken von Trockeneisstücken zu verhindern, wird nach Einlegen des Trockeneises ein zweiter Boden (2) in das Trinkgefäß (1 ) eingebracht. Der zweite Boden weist Löcher (3) auf, die für das Getränk durchlässig sind, nicht jedoch für die Trockeneisstücke. Somit kommt das Getränk mit dem Trockeneis in Berührung, wodurch eine Nebelbildung erfolgt, während ein Auftreiben von Trockeneis verhindert wird.
Abstract:
Es wird eine Vorrichtung (1) zum Herunterkühlen und/oder Frosten von mehreren Geschirr-Gefäßen (2), z. B. Gläsern vorgeschlagen. Erfindungsgemäß ist für mehrere Geschirr- Gefäße (2) ein jeweils separater Kühleinsatz (6 bis 11) vorgesehen. Außerdem wird ein als Fortsatz ausgebildeter Kühleinsatz vorgeschlagen, der eine Außenform aufweist, die weitgehend oder vollständig der Wandungsform eines Geschirr- Gefäßes entspricht.
Abstract:
A glass chiller comprises a unit (10) having a stand (12) for supporting an upturned drinking glass (14). The stand (12) mounts a gas expansion valve nozzle (15) for communication with a supply of liquefied gaseous medium. The unit (10) has a surround (16) upstanding from around the stand (12). The surround (16) increases in height from the front of the unit (10) rearwardly. The unit (10) is mounted on a support (22) incorporating a ledge clamping device (24) to enable the unit (10) to be clamped to a projecting edge of, for example, a bar counter. The support (22) extends upwardly behind the unit (10) and its upper part projects partially over the stand (12) in a display of three tongues, the outer two similarly projecting downwardly and serving to restrict access of a glass to centrally of the stand (12) and the central tongue (26B) preventing access from above.
Abstract:
An apparatus for washing glasses, including a washing compartment and a plurality of fluid outlets (82). A tray (100) for retaining the glasses is positionable in the washing compartment. The tray (100) has at least one fluid directing nozzle (140) which is alignable with the fluid outlets (82) in the washing compartment to permit fluid to flow from the nozzles (140) through the tray (100) and to direct the fluid into contact with the glasses (146). In preferred embodiment, at least a portion of the fluid contacts the glasses (146) substantially tangentially. A method for washing glasses (146) is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A drinking container (10) having a removable, freezable member (32). The drinking container (10) has a cylindrical inner receptacle (16) and a surrounding cylindrical outer receptacle (20). An annular chamber (26) is formed between the inner and outer receptacles. A refrigerant member (32) comprising a plastic envelope containing a freezable gel (34) is dimensioned to fit into the annular chamber (26), and is readily removable therefrom. A cap (36) engages the drinking container (10) to retain the refrigerant member (32) once placed in the annular chamber (26). The refrigerant member (32) is preferably an annular sleeve which slips between the inner and outer receptacles, and folds flat for storage and freezing.
Abstract:
Glass chilling cabinet having a bottom wall, a top wall and side walls, a number of posts adapted to keep glass baskets stacked above said bottom wall, said posts being perpendicular to said bottom wall, partition members (23) arranged in a plane that is parallel to said bottom wall and leaving above said bottom wall a gap that is not smaller than the height of a basket filled with glass, compression springs (29) placed between said bottom wall and said top wall and adapted to press a stack of baskets (33) against stop members (35) retaining said stacked baskets below said top wall, a front cabinet door, a top cabinet door, and a cool air draft inlet in one of said side walls.
Abstract:
A beverage container includes a base, a stem, and a bowl. The base has a base lateral dimension parallel to the horizontal supporting plane. The stem extends upwardly from a stem lower end coupled to the base to a stem upper end. The stem has a heat pipe extending between the stem lower end and the stem upper end. The stem has a stem lateral dimension smaller than the base lateral dimension. The bowl is coupled to the stem upper end and extends upwardly of the stem. The bowl defines a liquid chamber having an upper opening. Other beverage containers, systems, methods, and heat transfer pads are also disclosed.
