Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for obtaining containers made of ice, for liquids, particularly for drinking beverages.
  • Such handle is rigidly coupled to the cup by way of protrusions, which are internally provided with teeth for anchoring to the ice.
  • Said containers have the disadvantage that the water that has melted during use, due to ambient heat, drips: said water, by flowing along said handle, wets the hand that holds the container or the surface on which said containers rest.
  • Other conventional containers are, for example, cups made of glass, ceramic, metal or other material for drinking beverages.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to solve the above problems, eliminating the drawbacks of the prior art by providing a device which allows to obtain containers made of ice, for liquids, particularly for drinking chilled beverages, which do not wet the user's fingers or the surface on which the containers rest.
  • an important object is to provide a device for producing containers which allow to drink the beverage always at the optimum temperature, avoiding the rapid heating of the liquid.
  • Another important object is to provide a device for producing containers which do not chill the fingers of the user while drinking.
  • Another object is to provide a device which is structurally simple and has low manufacturing costs.
  • a device for obtaining containers made of ice, for liquids characterized in that it is constituted by a hollow body which has a closed lower end from which a projection protrudes axially and internally, said hollow body being closeable, at its upper end, by way of a lid, which can in turn be closed by way of a partition with inclined walls and provided with at least one protrusion which protrudes toward said projection.
  • 1 designates a device for obtaining containers for liquids which is constituted by waterproof material, such as for example plastics.
  • Said device has a hollow body 2 which is preferably axially elongated and whose lower end, designated by the reference numeral 3, is closed.
  • a projection protrudes axially and internally from said end, and its lateral surface is preferably shaped so as to taper toward the opposite end; it preferably has a frustum-like, prism-like, truncated-pyramid shape or, even, a cylindrical shape.
  • Said hollow body 2 acts as a container for an appropriate amount of liquid, preferably water, designated by the reference numeral 5, and is open at the upper end, designated by the reference numeral 6, which can be closed by means of a lid 7.
  • liquid preferably water
  • Said lid 7 is constituted by a bottom 8, which is advantageously of a form other than convex, and by a lateral surface, designated by the reference numeral 9, which is adapted to be arranged coaxially and externally with respect to the upper end 6, so as to connect to each other said lid 7 and said hollow body 2.
  • Said bottom 8 and said lateral surface 9 form a first reservoir, designated by the reference numeral 10, which is proportionate to the volume of said hollow body 2, so as to be large enough to collect the water that has melted after the use of the container.
  • Said lid 7 can in turn be closed by means of a partition, designated by the reference numeral 11, which is detachable and can be interposed between said lid 7 and said hollow body 2, advantageously by connection between a seat, designated by the reference numeral 12 and formed on the lower edge of said lid 7, and a complementarily shaped annular ridge 13 which protrudes above said partition 11.
  • Said partition 11 has walls which are inclined in a direction away from said projection 4 so as to form, after the solidification of said water 5, a second reservoir, designated by the reference numeral 14, which is delimited by said partition 11 and by the solidified surface of said water 5.
  • Said second reservoir 14 is used to collect the water produced by the melting of the container 15 made of ice, conveying said water into said first reservoir 10 through one or more ducts, designated by the reference numeral 16, formed in said partition 11.
  • Said partition 11 is provided with a protrusion, designated by the reference numeral 17, which protrudes toward said projection 4 and constitutes a grip element for said container 15 made of ice which has formed due to cooling.
  • the lateral walls preferably have a shape which diverges toward said projection 4, so as to prevent separation of said protrusion 17 from said container 14, made of ice, during extraction from said hollow body 2.
  • the device 1 composed of a hollow body 2, a lid 7, and a partition 11, is initially arranged so that its hollow body is open and the partition is associated with said lid, as shown in Figure 3.
  • said hollow body 2 After filling said hollow body 2 up to a preset level with water or other appropriate liquids or drinkable mixtures, said hollow body is closed by means of the assembly constituted by the partition and the lid.
  • the device 1 is arranged in a place, at a low temperature, for example in a freezer, enough to cause the phase transition from water to ice.
  • said object thus obtained and shown in Figure 2 constitutes a container made of ice, for liquids, in which said partition-lid assembly performs the dual function of drip reservoir and grip for using said container 15 made of ice.
  • the cavity formed by the corresponding projection 4 can be used to contain liquids, particularly chilled beverages to be consumed at low temperature.
  • the ambient temperature at which said container 15 made of ice is placed causes its gradually melting.
  • the water that has melted initially flows into the second reservoir 14 and then, through the ducts 16, into a first reservoir 10 formed inside said lid 7.
  • the user can drink the chosen beverage without wetting his fingers with the melted water and without chilling his fingers, since the material of which said lid 7 is made is preferably a good heat insulator, for example plastics.
  • the partition 11 is removed from the container 7 and emptied of the water that it has collected.
  • the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects, a device for obtaining containers for liquids having been provided which can be used simply and inexpensively, particularly for chilled beverages, and keeps said beverages at low temperature without wetting or chilling the fingers of the user.
  • the lateral surface of the hollow body 2 can be other than cylindrical and can therefore assume any geometric shape.
