Abstract: An ice shelf product display unit has a vertical support wall, a plurality of shelves extending out from the support wall, and a housing extending from the lower end of the support wall. The housing encompasses refrigeration equipment and components. Each of the shelves and the top of the housing have sunken wells or reservoirs which contain a series of switch back coils. The coils contain refrigerant which flows to, through, and from the coils via the refrigeration components to freeze water into ice within each of the sunken wells. When ice is formed in the wells, bottles, cans, or other beverage containing products placed on the shelves and top section of the housing will be maintained in a cold state, allowing consumers to purchase cold beverages for immediate consumption.

Abstract: An ice bar system utilizes an ice bar unit having a sunken well or reservoir circumscribed by a floor member and front, rear, and lateral walls upstanding from the floor member. Refrigerant filled coils located beneath the surface of the floor member are utilized, via a compressor system, to create a solid block of ice within the reservoir, after it is filled with water. The ice bar unit also has mounting brackets which extend outwardly from its lateral walls, each mounting bracket has horizontal and vertical members which frame the ice bar unit, the horizontal member also being conveniently available as arm rests for bar patrons.

Abstract: A weatherproof enclosure for electronic equipment includes a base portion and a mushroom-shaped hood portion. When unlatched, the hood portion rises by spring action to permit full access to the electronic equipment mounted on the base portion. A moderate force on the hood, assisted by an internal counterweight, serves to return the hood to the latched position.
