Abstract

An ice bag assembly includes a first bag that is comprised of a moisture wicking material for wicking moisture away from ice cubes stored in the first bag. In this way the first bag inhibits the ice cubes from freezing together. A second bag is positioned around the first bag and the second bag is comprised of a moisture wicking material to wick moisture away from the first bag that has been wicked from the ice cubes. A sleeve is continuously arcuate such that the sleeve forms a closed loop and each of the first bag and the second bag is suspended from the sleeve. A drawstring is positioned in the sleeve for closing the first bag and the second bag.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An ice hag assembly for inhibiting ice cubes being stored from freezing together, said assembly comprising:
 a first hag being comprised of a moisture wicking material for wicking moisture away from ice cubes stored in said first bag wherein said first bag is configured to inhibit the ice cubes from freezing together;   a second bag being positioned around said first bag, said second bag being comprised of a moisture wicking material wherein said second bag is configured to wick moisture away from said first bag that has been wicked from the ice cubes;   a sleeve being continuously arcuate such that said sleeve forms a closed loop, each of said first bag and said second bag being suspended from said sleeve;   a drawstring being positioned in said sleeve, said drawstring being tightenable in said sleeve for closing said first bag and said second bag, said drawstring being loosenable in said sleeve for opening said first hag and said second bag;   wherein said first hag has an interior surface, an exterior surface and an edge forming an opening into said first bag, said moisture wicking material have a direction of flow from said interior surface toward said exterior surface;   wherein said second hag has an inside surface, an outside surface and an edge forming an opening into said second bag, said inside surface being bonded to said exterior surface of said first bag having said edge of said first hag being aligned with said edge of said second bag; and   wherein said sleeve has an outer surface, said outer surface having a lower side and an outwardly facing side, said edge of said first hag being coupled to said lower side of said outer surface, said edge of said second bag being coupled to said lower side of said outer surface such that said sleeve defines said opening into said first bag wherein said opening defined by said sleeve is configured to receive the ice cubes for storing the ice cubes in said first bag, said outwardly facing side having a pair of holes each extending into an interior of said sleeve, said holes being positioned adjacent to each other.   
     
     
         2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 said outwardly facing side having a pair of holes each extending into an interior of said sleeve;   said drawstring has a first end and a second end, said drawstring extending through each of said holes in said outwardly facing side of said outer surface of said sleeve such that each of said first end and said second end is exposed;   said assembly includes a pair of tighteners, each of said tighteners having said drawstring extending therethrough for retaining said drawstring being tightened in said sleeve for closing said first bag and said second bag, each of said tighteners having a button being movably integrated therein, each of said tighteners being biased to frictionally engage said drawstring for retaining said sleeve in a closed condition, said tighteners disengaging said drawstring when said button on said tighteners is depressed thereby facilitating said tighteners to slide freely on said drawstring; and   said assembly includes a pair of balls, each of said balls being coupled to a respective one of said first end and said second end of said drawstring to inhibit said tighteners from being removed from said drawstring.   
     
     
         5 . An ice bag assembly for inhibiting ice cubes being stored from freezing together, said assembly comprising:
 a first bag being comprised of a moisture wicking material for wicking moisture away from ice cubes stored in said first bag wherein said first bag is configured to inhibit the ice cubes from freezing together, said first bag having an interior surface, an exterior surface and an edge forming an opening into said first bag, said moisture wicking material have a direction of flow from said interior surface toward said exterior surface;   a second bag being positioned around said first bag, said second bag being comprised of a moisture wicking material wherein said second bag is configured to wick moisture away from said first bag that has been wicked from the ice cubes, said second bag having an inside surface, an outside surface and an edge forming an opening into said second bag, said inside surface being bonded to said exterior surface of said first bag having said edge of said first bag being aligned with said edge of said second bag;   a sleeve being continuously arcuate such that said sleeve forms a closed loop, each of said first bag and said second bag being suspended from said sleeve, said sleeve having an outer surface, said outer surface having a lower side and an outwardly facing side, said edge of said first bag being coupled to said lower side of said outer surface, said edge of said second bag being coupled to said lower side of said outer surface such that said sleeve defines said opening into said first bag wherein said opening defined by said sleeve is configured to receive the ice cubes tor storing the ice cubes in said first bag, said outwardly facing side having a pair of holes each extending into an interior of said sleeve, said holes being positioned adjacent to each other;   a drawstring being positioned in said sleeve, said drawstring being tightenable in said sleeve for closing said first bag and said second hag, said drawstring being loosenable in said sleeve for opening said first bag and said second bag, said drawstring having a first end and a second end, said drawstring extending through each of said holes in said outwardly facing side of said outer surface of said sleeve such that each of said first end and said second end is exposed;   a pair of tighteners, each of said tighteners having said drawstring extending therethrough for retaining said drawstring being tightened in said sleeve for closing said first bag and said second bag, each of said tighteners having a button being movably integrated therein, each of said tighteners being biased to frictionally engage said drawstring for retaining said sleeve in a closed condition, said tighteners disengaging said drawstring when said button on said tighteners is depressed thereby facilitating said tighteners to slide freely on said drawstring; and   a pair of balls, each of said balls being coupled to a respective one of said first end and said second end of said drawstring to inhibit said tighteners from being removed from said drawstring.
