  • Patent number: 6449958
    Abstract: A contained beverage cooling apparatus for cooling and keeping cool a beverage placed in the apparatus. The contained beverage cooling apparatus includes a housing. The housing has a bottom wall and a top wall. A peripheral side wall extends between and is integrally coupled to a periphery of the top and bottom walls. The housing has a front side and a back side. The top wall has a hole therein for receiving a cylindrical can or cup. The hole is positioned generally adjacent to the front side of the housing. A cooling means for cooling a beverage placed in the hole includes a duct. The duct has an open first end and an open second end. The duct is positioned in a spaced relationship with the top wall such that the second end extends away from the back side of the housing. A first heat sink is securely attached to an interior of the top wall. A second heat sink is securely mounted to an interior surface of the duct. A thermo-electric device is positioned between the duct and the top wall.

  • Patent number: 6422024
    Abstract: An insulated beverage cooling container for cooling and insulating a beverage. The insulated beverage cooling container includes a container having a base wall. A peripheral side wall is integrally coupled to a periphery of the base wall and extends upwardly therefrom for defining an interior space and an upper peripheral edge. The container further includes a generally horizontally orientated first intermediate face mounted to the peripheral side wall above and in general parallel orientation with the base wall for defining a first compartment. A perimeter wall is integrally coupled to and extends downwardly away from the periphery of the base wall for defining a space and a lower peripheral edge. A second intermediate face is mounted to the perimeter wall below and in general parallel orientation with the base wall for defining a second compartment and a lower peripheral edge. The second intermediate face has a plurality of holes therethrough.
