  • Patent number: 4842350
    Abstract: The invention relates to bar units suitable for dispensing of ice and holding bottles and other paraphernalia necessary for work of a bartender. The bar unit provides for a housing having an inclined bottom and vertically extending walls supportable from the floor by legs which can be adjusted in height through telescopically movable elements. A first insert positionable within the housing has an arcuate wall to allow for easy scooping of ice from the housing. The insert has a horizontal attachment formed to occupy the spandrel space forward from the arcuate wall, the horizontal attachment having a number of chambers in which bins for retaining various bartenders' paraphernalia can be positioned. The bins follow the general shape of the horizontal attachment. A substitute bottom plate is provided for positioning within the housing to reduce the chamber formed by the housing when the amount of ice stored in the bar unit needs to be reduced.
