Method and apparatus for preparing ice cubes

Abstract

A method is disclosed comprising the steps of placing a first portion of a mixture of spring water and distilled water into a first chamber; and freezing the first portion of the mixture inside the first chamber to form a first ice cube. The mixture may comprise about ninety percent distilled water and ten percent pure spring water. The method may include placing a second portion of the mixture into a second chamber and freezing the second portion of the mixture inside the second chamber to form a second ice cube. The first and second chambers may be attached together by a backing. The method may also include sealing the first chamber after placing the first portion of the mixture into the first chamber and before freezing the first portion. The first chamber may be sealed by placing a foil over the first chamber. The method may include removing bacteria from the first portion after placing the first portion into the first chamber and before freezing the first portion. An apparatus is also disclosed which may include a backing, a plurality of chambers connected to the backing, and a plurality of portions of frozen water, one portion inside each of the plurality of chambers. Each of the plurality of chambers are held to each other by perforations so that each chamber can be detached from the other chambers. The frozen water may be comprised of a mixture of spring water and distilled water.

I claim:  
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising 
 a backing;    a plurality of chambers connected to the backing;    a plurality of portions of frozen water, one portion inside each of the plurality of chambers;    wherein each of the plurality of chambers are held to each other by perforations so that each chamber can be detached from the other chambers; and    and wherein the frozen water is comprised of spring water.    
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein 
 the frozen water is comprised of a mixture of spring water and distilled water.  
 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2  wherein 
 the frozen water is comprised of a mixture of about ten percent pure spring water and ninety percent distilled water.  
 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising 
 a foil which is attached to the backing so that the foil provides a water tight seal for each of the plurality of chambers.  
 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 2  further comprising 
 a foil which is attached to the backing so that the foil provides a water tight seal for each of the plurality of chambers.  
 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 3  further comprising 
 a foil which is attached to the backing so that the foil provides a water tight seal for each of the plurality of chambers.  
 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising 
 a plurality of transparent containers connected to the backing wherein each of the plurality of transparent containers includes one of the plurality of chambers.  
 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 2  further comprising 
 a plurality of transparent containers connected to the backing wherein each of the plurality of transparent containers includes one of the plurality of chambers.  
 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 3  further comprising 
 a plurality of transparent containers connected to the backing wherein each of the plurality of transparent containers includes one of the plurality of chambers.  
 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 7  wherein 
 each of the plurality of transparent containers is a plastic bubble.  
 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 8  wherein 
 each of the plurality of transparent containers is a plastic bubble.  
 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 9  where in 
 each of the plurality of transparent containers is a plastic bubble.
