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-modifiedI 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.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
