Abstract

Methods, processes, apparatus, kits and systems for chilling and cooling closed bottled or canned beverages, desserts, and food items to selected desired temperatures by rapidly rotating and counter-rotating the bottled or canned beverages, desserts, and food items that are immersed in cooled liquids in short time spans to a super cooled temperature wherein an effect can cause slush-on-demand.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
I claim: 
     
         1 . A method for providing slush-on-demand in closed beverage containers, comprising the steps of:
 immersing a closed beverage container of a liquid in a cooling substance;   alternatively rotating and counter-rotating the closed beverage container in the cooling substance to rapidly cool the liquid in the beverage container to a selected cooled temperature below approximately 34 F; and   instantly converting the liquid inside the closed beverage container to turn into slush.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of:
 providing a can as the closed beverage container.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of:
 providing a bottle as the beverage container.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the cooling substance is a chilled liquid. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of mounting via a mount the closed beverage container upright in a housing. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of alternatively rotating and counter rotating includes the step of:
 continuously alternatively rotating and counter-rotating the mount and the beverage container between approximately 500 rpm and above approximately 500 rpm.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of alternatively rotating and counter-rotating includes the step of:
 switching between each of the rotating and the counter-rotating directions between approximately 1/10 and above approximately 1/10 of a second.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the steps of:
 providing a display for a temperature input;   providing a temperature sensor for the cooling liquid;   providing a temperature sensor for the beverage container;   providing a motor for the mounted container;   inputting a selected chilled temperature for the beverage container onto the display; and   automatically alternating the rotating and the counter-rotating of the beverage container until the temperature sensor for the beverage container reaches the selected cooled temperature.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of instantly converting includes the step of:
 slamming the closed beverage container on a surface.   
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the step of instantly converting includes the step of:
 inserting ice into the closed beverage container.   
     
     
         11 . A system for creating slush-on-demand from rapidly cooled closed beverage containers, comprising:
 a housing with a cooling substance inside;   a mount supporting a closed beverage container containing a liquid inside, wherein the closed beverage container is immersed in the cooling substance; and   a motor for alternatively rotating and counter-rotating the closed beverage container in the cooling substance to rapidly cool the liquid in the beverage container to a selected cooled temperature below approximately 34 F, wherein the beverage inside the container is cooled to a selected cooled temperature; and   a slush causing effect for converting the cooled liquid inside the beverage container to instantly become slush.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the mount supports the closed beverage container in an upright position. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the closed beverage container includes a closed bottle. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the closed beverage container includes a closed can. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the cooling substance is a chilled liquid. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the motor continuously and alternatively rotates and counter-rotates the mount and the beverage container in the immersed substance between approximately 500 rpm and above approximately 500 rpm, 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein switching time of the motor between each of the rotating and the counter-rotating, is between approximately 1/10 of a second and above approximately 1/10 of a second. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a temperature sensor for the cooling substance;   a temperature sensor for the beverage container;   a display for a temperature input, so that a selected chilled temperature is inputted onto the display, and the motor automatically alternates between the rotating and the counter-rotating of the beverage container until the temperature sensor for the beverage container reaches the selected cooled temperature.   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the slush causing effect for instantly causing slush inside the closed container includes slamming the closed container on a surface. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the slush causing effect for instantly causing slush inside the closed container includes inserting ice into the closed beverage container.
