Beverage cooler device

Abstract

A beverage cooler assembly for keeping beverages cooled without having the beverages submerged in ice includes a cylinder that has an outer wall. The cylinder is structured to be substantially hollow to define an ice space to contain ice. The outer wall has a plurality of apertures extending therethrough such that each of the apertures receives a beverage container. Each of the apertures is in fluid communication with the ice space to cool the beverage containers.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A beverage cooler assembly comprising:
 a cylinder having an outer wall, said cylinder being structured to be substantially hollow to define an ice space wherein said ice space is configured to contain ice; and   said outer wall having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough such that each of said apertures is configured to insertably receive a beverage container, each of said apertures being in fluid communication with said ice space such that said assembly is configured to cool the beverage containers.   
     
     
         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 said cylinder having a top end and a bottom end, said top end being open to access said ice space; and   said outer wall flaring outwardly proximate each of said top end and said bottom end to define a respective one of a base section and a bowl section of said cylinder wherein said base section is configured to abut a support surface and said bowl section is configured to direct the ice into said ice space.   
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , further comprising an upper surface of said bottom end tapering downwardly toward a center of said bottom end. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein said cylinder having a drain channel extending between said upper surface of said bottom end and said base section such that said drain channel is sloped downwardly. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein said base section being structured to define a drain extending laterally away from said base section, said drain being in fluid communication with said drain channel such that said drain is configured to drain a fluid from said ice space. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein a bounding surface of each of said apertures slanting downwardly such that the beverage containers are retained at an angle in each of said apertures. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein said apertures being evenly spaced apart and arranged in a spiral extending between a base section and a bowl section of said cylinder. 
     
     
         8 . A beverage cooler assembly comprising:
 a cylinder having an outer wall, said cylinder being structured to be substantially hollow to define an ice space wherein said ice space is configured to contain ice, said cylinder having a top end and a bottom end, said top end being open to access said ice space;   said outer wall flaring outwardly proximate each of said top and bottom ends to define a respective one of a base section and a bowl section of said cylinder wherein said base section is configured to abut a support surface and said bowl section is configured to direct the ice into said ice space;   an upper surface of said bottom end tapering downwardly toward a center of said bottom end, said cylinder having a drain channel extending between said upper surface of said bottom end and said base section such that said drain channel is sloped downwardly;   said base section being structured to define a drain extending laterally away from said base section, said drain being in fluid communication with said drain channel such that said drain is configured to drain a fluid from said ice space;   said outer wall having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough such that each of said apertures is configured to insertably receive a beverage container, each of said apertures being in fluid communication with said ice space such that said assembly is configured to cool the beverage containers, a bounding surface of each of said apertures slanting downwardly such that the beverage containers are retained at an angle in each of said apertures, said apertures being evenly spaced apart and arranged in a spiral extending between said base section and said bowl section of said cylinder.
