  • Patent number: 6824014
    Abstract: The present invention is a combination ice sculpture mold and water cooler container which may be used to freeze a liquid and then cut open to create a frozen sculpture, and it alternatively may be used as a water or other liquid supply in its inverted, open position with a “water cooler”, i.e. a bottled-liquid receiving liquid dispenser. It could be used for both purposes—first with a water cooler and subsequently as an ice sculpture. Alternatively, it may be kept in tack and used as an enclosed “ice sculpture” and subsequently reused for either purpose. It includes a hollow plastic container having a top, a bottom and sidewalls, and a neck and dispensing orifice at its top. The present invention hollow plastic container has a three dimensional sculpture mold formed out of at least one of its sidewalls. The sculpture mold depicts a recognizable unique three-dimensional form of a physical object.
