Description
- This invention relates generally to beverage dispensing devices, and more particularly to beverage dispensing devices attached to a fixed surface.
- Insulated beverage dispensing devices, such as coolers, are well known in the beverage industry. Insulated beverage dispensing devices are used to maintain the temperature of beverages and dispense beverages at the maintained temperature. For example, beverages may be kept hot or cold within an insulated beverage dispensing device. Insulated beverage dispensing devices, or coolers, are commonly used at sporting events to keep beverages cold and dispense the cold beverages to athletes.
- Insulated beverage dispensing devices may be used at many types of sporting events, including football, rugby, soccer, running, tennis, and hockey. For example, insulated beverage dispensing devices are used to hold sport drinks, such as Gatorade®, and ice at football games. Typically the insulated beverage dispensing device will sit on a flat surface, such as a table, so the beverage may be easily dispensed into a container such as a cup, and then consumed.
- However, setting up a table, or other surface at a sporting event may not be the most advantageous or convenient way to provide beverages to athletes. For example, there may not be sufficient room to set up a table to set a beverage dispensing device, or the athletes may have difficulty accessing the beverage dispensing device set up on the table. Accordingly, there is a need for alternate methods of dispensing beverages at sporting events.
- The invention addresses the above mentioned needs by providing a beverage dispensing device that may be attached to a vertical surface. An aspect of the present invention provides methods and apparatus for attaching a beverage dispensing device to a vertical surface. In one aspect, the invention may include hanging a panel on a vertical surface. The panel may be secured to the vertical surface by at least one securing device operatively attached to the panel. The beverage dispensing device may be adjustably mounted to the panel at a first position.
- In another aspect, the invention includes an apparatus comprising a panel and an insulated beverage dispensing device. The panel may have a top end terminating in a hook shaped end. The insulated beverage dispensing device may be adjustably mounted to the panel at a first position. The apparatus may further include at least one securing device configured to engage a vertical surface. The hook shaped end may be configured to engage a top surface of a vertical surface.
- Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon review of the following detailed description, claims and drawings in which like numerals are used to designate like features.

In this embodiment, the suction cup adheres to thevertical surface 30 and is attachable to thepanel 20 through the use of apin 41, fastener or the like. The use of one or more suction cups provides a secure connection between thepanel 20 and thevertical surface 30 and provides stability to the panel relative to the vertical surface. For example, in an application at an ice rink, if the vertical surface is Plexiglass that is hit by a hockey player, the suction cups will hold thepanel 20 to thevertical surface 30 and therefore prevent the possible spillage of the contents within in the beverage dispensing device. In at least one embodiment, the at least onesecuring device 22 may be a plurality of securingdevices devices 22 may be used in any number of configurations in accordance with aspects of the present invention. - The
