Abstract: Provided is an environmentally friendly refreezable barrel for chilling a plurality of items in an energy efficient manner that also conserves water. The refreezable barrel includes a cooler body defining an open end and a closed end portion. The cooler body defines a cavity extending from the open end towards the closed end portion. The cavity is configured to receive the plurality of items. A cooling element is disposed within the cooler body and is refreezable to mitigate temperature rise within the cooler body to prolong the melting of ice within the barrel, thereby reducing the overall amount of water used by the barrel. The refreezable barrel also includes a cooler stand defining a recess configured to engage with the closed end portion of the cooler body.

Abstract: A portable chair with ice chest assembly operative to interconnect with one another to create an easily-accessible beverage display, for use in display and marketing purposes, sporting events, and the like, and thereafter be collapsed to assume a space-efficient and easily transportable device. The portable chair comprises a foldable chair member operative to transition from a compact configuration to an open configuration defining supporting legs, a back rest and a seating portion. An expandable ice chest member is operative to be received upon the seating area defined by the portable chair and further preferably includes a lid member that can engage with the back rest of the portable chair. A covering may further be provided to extend about the assembled portable chair with ice chest thereon to create a compact, aesthetically pleasing beverage display.

Abstract: A compact, countertop cooler for use in dispensing cold, energy-shot beverages at point-of-purchase retail locations. The cooler comprises a housing operative to store and selectively dispense individual containers of beverages through a gravity feed system. Preferably, the cooler will include an outwardly-facing window to facilitate the consumer's ability to see the contents and further, will preferably include a ratchet-type dispensing system to selectively dispense each beverage container individually so as to serve as an anti-theft mechanism, and further dispense at least one and preferably two containers of dissimilar size. The housing will further include a cooling system to provide cooling for the beverages and further, may be provided with decorative indicia to facilitate advertising and the display of product information.

Abstract: An improved open lid display refrigerator for use in storing and displaying refrigerated items for retail sale. The exterior of the improved display refrigerator is characterized by a multiplicity of panel portions operative to interchangeably receive and display advertisements, and in particular advertisements for products that can be aligned with a corresponding brand of products stored within the refrigerator. The open lid display further includes a novel lid that is condensation resistant and is further secured by a hinge that minimizes the risk of injury to the arm or hand of a consumer. Still further, the improved display refrigerator includes an easily-accessible refrigeration unit that further may optionally include low maintenance hardware that is exceptionally easy to clean.

Abstract: An improved display cooler for storing and displaying refrigerated items for retail purchase. The improved cooler includes an LED lighting system integrated within the periphery of the glass display door of the cooler that is oriented so as to provide substantially greater illumination of the products contained within the cooler. The LED system is further of substantially lower maintenance and space efficiency compared to prior art lighting systems. The improved cooler further includes a base-integrated refrigeration unit that is substantially easier to access than prior art coolers. Such cooling system further includes condenser coils having a fin-free design that substantially reduces servicing and cleaning.

Abstract: A dual compressor beverage cooler having a central beverage storage area and at least one external beverage dispensing unit. A first compressor maintains the central beverage storage area at typical refrigeration temperatures and a second compressor maintains the external beverage dispensing units at below freezing temperatures. The central beverage storage area may house “energy” drinks and the external beverage dispensing units may house alcoholic drinks.

Abstract: A stackable beverage container adapted to hold ice and beverages. The stackable beverage container includes a receptacle unit. The receptacle unit includes a continuous sidewall coupled to a bottom wall. The continuous sidewall and the bottom wall of the receptacle unit form a receptacle interior cavity. The receptacle interior cavity is the portion of the stackable beverage container used to hold or store ice and beverages placed therein. The bottom wall of the receptacle unit also includes a drain outlet formed therein. Additionally, the stackable beverage container includes a base unit. The base unit includes a continuous sidewall coupled to a top wall. The continuous sidewall and the top wall of the base unit form a base interior cavity. The top wall of the base unit includes an aperture formed therein. The aperture may receive the drain outlet of the receptacle unit. The bottom wall of the receptacle unit is also detachably coupled to the top wall of the base unit.

Abstract: A wine cooler is provided which may also function as a humidor. The wine cooler is embodied in a cabinet preferably made from wood. The cabinet includes a base and a lid. The wine cooler further includes a bottle tray positioned within an upper area of the base. The bottle tray includes a plurality of semicircular recesses formed in the tray, each of which are adapted to receive a wine bottle.
