Cold Fluid Container

Abstract

A fluid container has a housing with two discharge ends, one end being opened and having a removable cap threadably engaged with and covering that end and the second end having a bottom section which is removeably attached to the main body by a connector element. An ice containing member in the form of an ice tray is secured to the interior of the housing. The ice tray is filled with water and the fluid container itself is placed in a freezer, allowing the water in the ice tray to freeze. A drinkable fluid is poured into the container and, by means of the ice, kept cold. Alternatively, after ice is formed in the ice tray, the connector member is peeled off and the bottom section removed. The ice in the ice tray is then broken out of the tray and used for outside purposes.

1 . A cold fluid container comprising:
 a fluid housing having a main body with internal and exterior surfaces, first and second fluid discharge ends, the first discharge end being open and having a removable closure member covering the end, the second discharge end comprising a bottom section and connection means for attaching the bottom section to the main body, said connection means being removable to allow separation of the bottom section from the main body; and   an ice containing member comprising a plurality of ice cube pockets, said ice containing member being located within and permanently secured to the internal surface of the main body.   
     
     
         2 . The cold fluid container as in  claim 1  wherein the ice containing member is an ice tray. 
     
     
         3 . The cold fluid container as in  claim 1  wherein the connection means is an adhesive, plastic connector member. 
     
     
         4 . The cold fluid container as in  claim 3  wherein the connection means is an adhesive, plastic connector member. 
     
     
         5 . The cold fluid container as in  claim 1  wherein the fluid housing is fabricated of a material capable of being frozen without damage. 
     
     
         6 . The cold fluid container as in  claim 1  wherein the fluid housing is fabricated of a plastic. material. 
     
     
         7 . The cold fluid container as in  claim 1  wherein the ice containing member and the main body are molded such that the ice containing member is integral with the main body. 
     
     
         8 . The cold fluid container as in  claim 1  wherein the closure member is threadably engaged with the first discharge end when the closure member covers the first discharge end.
