Liquid Polymer Crystal-Filled Beverage Cooler

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cooling receptacle for maintaining the cool temperature of a beverage comprising: a body portion, where said body portion conforms to a cylindrical shape and includes a thin wall surrounding an opening, where said opening provides a means for the placement of a beverage container; a base, said base encloses one end of the body portion; and a mechanism of producing a cooling effect to sustain the temperature of the beverage. In one particular embodiment, the mechanism to produce a cooling effect includes liquid polymer crystals embedded in the base and wall. A drainage hole may be provided within the base. The liquid polymer crystals in the base and the wall activate upon the hydrated condensation of the beverage container to form a gel-like consistency and create a cooling effect to sustain the temperature of the beverage.

1 . A cooling receptacle for maintaining the cool temperature of a beverage comprising:
 a. a body portion, where said body portion conforms to a cylindrical shape and includes a thin wall surrounding an opening, where said opening provides a means for the placement of a beverage container;   b. a plurality of liquid polymer crystals embedded in the wall, said crystals capable of producing a cooling effect to sustain the temperature of the beverage; and   c. a base, said base encloses one end of the body portion; and   d. a plurality of liquid polymer crystals embedded in the base, said crystals capable of producing a cooling effect to sustain the temperature of the beverage.   
     
     
         2 . The cooling receptacle according to  claim 1 , further including a drainage hole within the base. 
     
     
         3 . The cooling receptacle according to  claim 1 , where the liquid polymer crystals in the base and the wall activate upon the hydrated condensation of the beverage container to form a gel-like consistency and create a cooling effect to sustain the temperature of the beverage. 
     
     
         4 . A cooling receptacle for maintaining the cool temperature of a beverage comprising:
 a. a body portion, where said body portion conforms to a cylindrical shape and includes a thin wall surrounding an opening, where said opening provides a means for the placement of a beverage container;   b. a base, said base encloses one end of the body portion; and   c. a means of producing a cooling effect to sustain the temperature of the beverage.   
     
     
         5 . The cooling receptacle according to  claim 4 , where said means to produce a cooling effect includes liquid polymer crystals embedded in the base and wall. 
     
     
         6 . The cooling receptacle according to  claim 4 , further including a drainage hole within the base. 
     
     
         7 . The cooling receptacle according to  claim 5 , where the liquid polymer crystals in the base and the wall activate upon the hydrated condensation of the beverage container to form a gel-like consistency and create a cooling effect to sustain the temperature of the beverage.
