Abstract
ABSTRACT
The beverage cooling device includes a semi-flexible plastic container and a liquid foodstuff which is totally en-closed within the container. The container and its contents are adapted to be frozen and utilized as a beverage cooling device. While the liquid foodstuff is in the frozen state within the container, the container may be broken open to re-move the frozen liquid to permit the same to be used simultan-eously as a coolant and as a flavoring for the beverage. Al-ternatively, the frozen foodstuff can be consumed directly. On the other hand the device can be allowed to cool within a drink-ing vessel to cool a liquid or beverage therein and then re-frozen for reuse.

Description
53L 7~L2 This invention relates to a beverage cooling device and more particularly to a device which ls adapted to optionally add flavoring or nutritional value to the contents of a drinking con-tainer.
The prior art includes individual containers adapted with reusable closure means that permit water to be included within the container intended to be frozen and utilized repeatedly as a non-beverage diluting ice cube. The instant invention possesses this capability but permits the contents of the container to be optionally included as part of the beverage, when in the frozen or unfrozen state, and alternatively, to be directly consumed by the user.
According to the invention there is provided a beverage cooling device ha~ing a compact size and shape so as to be easily inserted into and received into an individual drinking vessel, such as a drinking glass, for cooling a liquid therein and adapted, either to be reused, if desired, or to be broken open to remove -edible contents therein and then dlscarded, said device comprising a closed, semi-flexible plastic container and a consumable flavored liquid situated within said container and capable of being frozen while so situated within said container, said container having a selected three dimensional shape, sealable entrance means for fac-ilitating filling of said container with said liquid and permitting sealing of said container after it is filled with said liquid, and container opening means or opening said container to fac-ilitate removal of said liquid in a unitary frozen solid state from said containex.
Uses of the devlce include iced tea and coffee liquid concentrates, syrups utilized to fabricate non-carbinated and carbinated beverages, sweetened slush-like foodstuffs utilized to fabricate fro~en stick supported desserts~ and water util-.

ized to cool beverages when retained in or removed from the con-tainer.
A desirable feature of the in'stant invention is the pro-vision of a novel inexpensive device containing a consumable bev-erage coolant.
Another desirable feature is the provision of a means to cool a beverage without causing dilution thereof.
Still another desirable feature is the provision of a means to conveniently cool and provide flavoring to a beverage.
Yet another desirable feature is the provision of a con-tainer permitting beverage flavorings to be removed therefrom in the liquid or frozen states.
A further desirable feature is the provision of a beverage cooling device adapted to utilize water or a foodstuff within.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of the spherical consumable beverage cooling device and straw combination shown in Figure 1 included within a beverage shown in a tumbler.
The structure and method of fabrication of the present invention~is applicable to a consumable beverage cooling device made of a semi-flexible plastic material. In the illustrated embodiment, the device is in the shape of a hollow sphere having a hollow tube whose longitudinal axis passes through the origin of the sphere and whose free ends are adapted to communicate with the walls comprising the sphere. The cavity included within the
-2-~S~7~
sphere is totally enclosed by the interior spherical walls and the external cylindrical walls of the cylinder passing there-through. A liquid foodstuff is contained within the cavity and retained therein by sealing of a filling port passing through a point on the surface of the sphere. A drinking straw of convention-al design is permitted to pass through the right angle cylinder en-~;,,s, 1~5~7~L2 captured in part thereby so that the container may be con-veniently retreived after use in cooling a beverac3e.
Portions of the walls of the spherical shaped outer-most container elements are weakened along a well defined series of pathways permitting the container to be stripped open releas-ing the liquid or frozen liquid contents of the container for use in flavoring applications or in cooling applications. The pathway includes a circular weakened line corresponding with one edge at one end of the right angle cylinder and a plurality of parallel longitudinal lines eminating therefrom to a circular line of unweakened container material, appearing at the other free edge at the other end of the right angle cylinder. Separat-ing the material comprising the container along one or more longitudinal weakened lines permits, alternatively, the liquid stored within the sphere to be poured therefrom or to be removed therefrom intact, when in a frozen state. The weakened pathways do not permit individual portions comprising the surface of the sphere to be removed from the remaining portions of the material comprising the sphere, but rather follows a course such that all the materlal comprising the sphere and the right angle cylinder element therethrough remain as an integral unitary container that has been opened along the weakened pathways rather than a container separated into discreet individual independent number of sections.
