Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for super-cooling a contained fluid by exposing a portion of the contained fluid to a temperature below a freezing point of the liquid while exposing a second portion of the contained fluid to a warmer temperature. The present invention establishes a temperature differential between the ambient air or fluid temperature within the cooler and a portion of a receiving element which receives a beveraged container. By creating a temperature differential, convection flow of the beverage within the packaged beverage occurs allowing the liquid beverage to achieve a temperature below its freezing point while being maintained in a liquid state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for super-cooling a contained fluid by exposing a portion of the contained fluid to a cooling substance while leaving a portion of the contained fluid uncooled. The present invention works by causing both convection and super-cooling. A container includes at least three sections: an insulated upper chamber, referred to as a cooling chamber, which holds a cooling substance or refrigerating apparatus; a second, lower chamber, referred to as the uncooled chamber; and at least one hollow chamber that extends through and is in contact with both cooling and un-cooled chambers. The hollow chamber, referred to as a containment chamber, receives the contained (i.e., bottled or canned or otherwise contained) fluid that is to be partially super-cooled. A horizontal plane divides the cooling chamber and the uncooled chamber.
