  • Patent number: 6050104
    Abstract: A cylinder shaped receptacle with one open end to receive bottles or beverage containers and is utilized in an ice bin, ice maker, freezer, or any refrigerated placement area to chill, refrigerate or store open, partially used or unused bottles, such as wine or liquor, or any other beverage container that is best when served cold or should be preserved cold. The receptacle has an adjustable, permanent support stand with rubber footings on the base to prevent movement. This movement, if any, is most likely to occur on a refrigeration shelf.

The adjustable support stand enables the user to obtain a variable slanted position by loosening the two wing nuts on the support stand, positioning the stand to the desired angle and then retightening the two wing nuts.
