Abstract: An ice box is shown for storing and cooling a spherical container for carbonated drinks, of the type often referred to as a "party ball", which is characterized by a radial protrusion extending from a normally upper surface and having a pair of openings for attachment of a pump thereto. An ice box for storing and transporting a party ball includes a housing for completely surrounding both the party ball and a quantity of ice in which it is packed, a first removable cover forming an opening in the housing for insertion of a pump, and spacers on the interior of the housing maintained in position by the removable cover for ensuring that the pump-attachment protrusion is aligned with the opening. A second removable cover may also be used to provide access to the interior of the housing for adding ice without disturbing the alignment of the pump-attachment protrusion.
