  • Patent number: 10543770
    Abstract: A receiving device for beverage containers is disclosed. The receiving device comprises a supporting construction that is open at the top, which can receive the particular beverage container and consists at least of a first material. Furthermore, at least one heat-conducting element which can forward heat and/or cold to a beverage container received by the supporting construction. In addition, one or more thermoelectric air-conditioning units for generating heat and/or cold. The one or more thermoelectrical air-conditioning units have a thermally conductive contact with the at least one heat-conducting element. The at least one heat-conducting element consists of at least one second material which has an elevated thermal conductivity in comparison to the at least one first material.
