Description

Intended Use: The wine dispensing refrigerator is designed to refrigerate and dispense bottled wine in order to preserve the wine in the bottle after opening and decrease decanting and serving time. The wine dispensing refrigerator is divided into dual temperature zones allowing the wines to be kept at two different temperatures. The wine dispensing refrigerator is also designed to allow the server and/or patrons to view the bottles in the wine dispensing refrigerator, in their upright positions for ease of reading the labels on the bottles. The wine dispensing refrigerator also has additional room to store multiple bottles of each being served.

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of my new design for a wine dispensing refrigerator showing a first embodiment of my new design having capacity for sixteen upright bottles being served at one time.

FIG. 2 is a right side elevational view thereof.

FIG. 3 is a left side elevational view thereof.

FIG. 4 is an isometric view thereof.

FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view thereof.

FIG. 6 is a top plan view thereof.

FIG. 7 is a close-up front view of the electronic control panel on the front of the wine dispensing refrigerator having capacity for sixteen upright bottles being served at one time.

FIG. 8 is a front elevational view of my new design for a wine dispensing refrigerator showing a second embodiment of my new design having capacity for ten upright bottles being served at one time.

FIG. 9 is a right side elevational view thereof.

FIG. 10 is a left side elevational view thereof.

FIG. 11 is an isometric view thereof.

FIG. 12 is a bottom plan view thereof.

FIG. 13 is a top plan view thereof.

FIG. 14 is a close-up front view of the electronic control panel on the front of the wine dispensing refrigerator having capacity for ten upright bottles being served at one time.

FIG. 15 is an isometric view of a third embodiment of my new design for a wine dispensing refrigerator; and,

FIG. 16 is a front elevational view of a fourth embodiment of my new design for a wine dispensing refrigerator.

The broken line showing of wine bottles is for illustrative purposes only and forms no part of the claimed design.
