- Known bottle coolers of this type are designed for a predetermined bottle size, for example 1.0 1 bottles. In such a case, however, if a smaller bottle, for example a 0.7 1 bottle, is placed in the bottle cooler, the cooling capacity leaves something to be desired, because the cooling batteries are then inevitably at a considerable distance from the outside of the bottle.
- the invention has for its object to remedy this deficiency and to create a cooler that allows to cool bottles of different sizes particularly effectively.
- a holder for supporting at least one cooling battery, optionally at a different radial distance from the longitudinal axis of the container.
- the cooler battery or batteries that serve as a cold store can be placed close to the outer wall of the bottle by inserting them in the holder, even with bottles of different sizes bring in to effectively transfer cold to the bottle and its contents or to prevent unwanted warming up of the bottle contents.
- the cold packs preferably have a cross section in the form of a circular ring sector, the internal radius of curvature of the cold packs being expediently adapted to the outer diameter of the cylindrical bottle section of the largest bottle to be accommodated in the bottle cooler.
- the holder can advantageously be designed as a container insert with recesses for receiving the cow accumulators at two or more different radial distances from the longitudinal axis of the container. This allows the cooling packs to be supported particularly securely.
- the depth of the recess and the thickness of the cooling packs are therefore expediently coordinated with one another in such a way that the inside of the cooling packs in the position farthest from the longitudinal axis of the container is essentially flush with the inside of the container insert.
- the container is preferably insulated against the incidence of heat (referred to here as heat-insulated for short).
- the space between the container insert, for example made of plastic, and the inside of the container can be filled with heat-insulating material.
- the container insert can also consist of heat-insulating material.
- a closure part is preferably releasably placed on the container, which has a recess whose inner diameter is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the lower cylindrical part of the largest bottles to be accommodated and / or substantially the same as the diameter of the space from which or the cold pack is limited in the position corresponding to the greatest radial distance from the container longitudinal axis.
- the final part covers in this way the cool packs from the top and also prevents them from falling out of the container.
- the end part expediently has a ring shape and is connected to the container via a snap lock.
- the end part expediently has one or more lateral cams which can be inserted into latching recesses which are preferably formed in carrying handles of the container.
- the bottle cooler has a cup-shaped container 1, which can expediently be made from metals, plastic, ceramic, glass or cardboard.
- a container insert 2 preferably made of plastic, the inside 3 of which has a radius of curvature which is adapted to the outside diameter of the cylindrical section of the largest bottle 14 to be received by the bottle cooler, for example a 1.0 liter bottle.
- the space between the container 1 and the container insert 2 is filled with heat-insulating material 4.
- the container insert is equipped on diametrically opposite sides with two adjoining recesses 5, 6 (FIG. 2).
- the recesses 5, .6 are designed in such a way that they each select a cooling battery 7 of essentially cross-sectional sector shape in a radially outer position (Fig. 2, left half) or a radially inner position (Fig. 2, right half).
- the inside 8 of the cooling accumulators 7 in the position farthest from the longitudinal axis of the container is essentially flush with the inside 3 of the container insert 2.
- the inner radius of curvature of the cow accumulators 7 is adapted to the outer diameter of the cylindrical bottle section of the largest bottle to be accommodated in the bottle cooler.
- the cold pack 7 is relatively close to the cylindrical wall of the 1.0 liter bottle 14.
- the cooling accumulators 7 are set in the recesses 6 of the container insert 2 lying radially further inwards, corresponding to the right part of FIG. 2, their inside 8 protrudes inwards beyond the inside 3 of the container insert 2. In this position, the cow packs largely fit the circumference of the cylindrical section of a smaller bottle, e.g. a 0.7 1 bottle.
- a closure ring 10 is detachably placed on the container 1.
- the end ring 10 has an inner diameter which is in union wesent the same as the outer diameter of the cylindrical part of the largest bottle to be accommodated.
- the essentially U-shaped cross-section of the end ring 10 has on its outside two radially projecting cams 11, each of which can be inserted into a locking recess 12, which are formed in carrying handles 13 which are firmly connected to the container 1.
- the cow accumulators 7 are first charged with cold in the refrigerator or freezer. With the end ring 10 removed, the cool packs are then set into the recesses (0.7 liter bottle) or the recesses 5 (1.0 liter bottle) depending on the size of the bottle to be cooled, as is indicated in FIG. 3. Then the end ring 10 is placed. 4 are the Cams 11 brought into engagement with the recesses 12 of the handles 13 by rotating the ring 10. Now the bottle 14 to be cooled or to be kept cool can be placed in the bottle cooler and can be removed from and returned to the bottle cooler as often as required without it being necessary to remove the cold packs 7 and / or the end ring 10.
- the cooling accumulators 7 according to FIG. 1 preferably have a height which corresponds essentially to the length of the cylindrical bottle section.
- the cooling effect can be metered in that, if necessary, instead of both cooling packs, only one of the cooling packs is inserted into the container 1 e.
- the bottle cooler can be designed to accommodate a different number of cool packs. Not all cold packs need to be adjustable in their radial position. For example, an adaptation to the respective bottle diameter can also take place in that only one of two cooling packs or two of several cooling packs can be inserted at a different distance from the longitudinal axis of the container. According to a further modification, appropriate designs of the base plate of the container and / or the container insert or the heat insulation could be used to hold the cooling batteries in addition to or instead of the recesses 5, 6.
- the described three-layer structure consisting of container, container insert and thermal insulation has the advantage that the container and the insert can be designed with regard to easy cleaning, pleasing appearance and a long service life, while the thermal insulation can be dimensioned for optimal insulation properties.
- the recesses 5, 6 do not need to merge as shown.
- the recesses 5 and the recesses 6 could be angularly offset from one another.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen FlaschenkUhler mit einem zur Aufnahme mindestens des unteren zylindrischen Abschnitts einer zu kühlenden Flasche bestimmten topfförmigen Behälter und mindestens einem Kühlakku, der in den Behälter im wesentlichen in Achsrichtung des FlaschenkUhlers herausnehmbar eingesetzt ist.The invention relates to a bottle cooler with a cup-shaped container intended for receiving at least the lower cylindrical section of a bottle to be cooled and at least one cooling battery which is inserted into the container so that it can be removed essentially in the axial direction of the bottle cooler.
Bekannte Flaschenkühler dieser Art sind auf eine vorbestimmte Flaschengröße, beispielsweise 1,0 1-Flaschen, ausgelegt. Wire in einem solchen Fall aber in den Flaschenkühler eine kleinere Flasche, zum Beispiel eine 0,7 1-Flasche, eingestellt, lößt die Kühlleistung zu wünschen übrig, weil die Kühlakkus dann zwangsläufig in erheblichem Abstand von der Außenseite der Flasche stehen.Known bottle coolers of this type are designed for a predetermined bottle size, for example 1.0 1 bottles. In such a case, however, if a smaller bottle, for example a 0.7 1 bottle, is placed in the bottle cooler, the cooling capacity leaves something to be desired, because the cooling batteries are then inevitably at a considerable distance from the outside of the bottle.
.Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, diesem Mangel abzuhelfen und einen Kühler zu schaffen, der es gestattet, auch Flaschen unterschiedlicher Größe besonders wirkungsvoll zu kühlen.The invention has for its object to remedy this deficiency and to create a cooler that allows to cool bottles of different sizes particularly effectively.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Halterung zum Abstutzen mindestens eines Kühlakkus wahlweise in unterschiedlichem radialem Abstand von der Behälterlängsachse. Bei einem derart aufgebauten FlaschenkUhler lassen sich der oder die als Kältespeicher dienenden KUhlakkus durch entsprechendes Einsetzen in die Halterung auch bei Flaschen unterschiedlicher Größe jeweils nahe an die Flaschenaußenwand heranbringen, um auf die Flasche und deren Inhalt Kälte in wirkungsvoller Weise zu übertragen bzw. eine unerwünschte Aufwärmung des Flascheninhalts auszuschließen.This object is achieved according to the invention by a holder for supporting at least one cooling battery, optionally at a different radial distance from the longitudinal axis of the container. In the case of a bottle cooler constructed in this way, the cooler battery or batteries that serve as a cold store can be placed close to the outer wall of the bottle by inserting them in the holder, even with bottles of different sizes bring in to effectively transfer cold to the bottle and its contents or to prevent unwanted warming up of the bottle contents.
Um für maximalen Kälteübergang zu sorgen, haben die Kühlakkus vorzugsweise einen Querschnitt in Form eines Kreisringsektors, wobei zweckmäßig der innere Krümmungsradius der Kühlakkus dem Außendurchmesser des zylindrischen Flaschenabschnits der größten im FlaschenkUhler aufzunehmenden Flasche angepaßt ist.In order to ensure maximum cold transfer, the cold packs preferably have a cross section in the form of a circular ring sector, the internal radius of curvature of the cold packs being expediently adapted to the outer diameter of the cylindrical bottle section of the largest bottle to be accommodated in the bottle cooler.
Die Halterung kann vorteilhaft als Behältereinsatz mit Ausnehmungen zur Aufnahme der Kuhlakkus in zwei oder mehr unterschiedlichen Radialabständen von der Behälterlängsachse ausgebildet sein. Dadurch läßt sich für eine besonders sichere Abstützung der Kühlakkus sorgen. Die Tiefe der Ausnehmung und die Dicke der Kühlakkus sind daher zweckmäßig derart aufeinander abgestimmt, daß die Innenseite der Kühlakkus in der von der Behälterlängsachse am weitesten entfernten Stellung mit der Innenseite des Behältereinsatzes im wesentlichen bündig ist.The holder can advantageously be designed as a container insert with recesses for receiving the cow accumulators at two or more different radial distances from the longitudinal axis of the container. This allows the cooling packs to be supported particularly securely. The depth of the recess and the thickness of the cooling packs are therefore expediently coordinated with one another in such a way that the inside of the cooling packs in the position farthest from the longitudinal axis of the container is essentially flush with the inside of the container insert.
Um Kälteverluste kleinzuhalten und das Eindringen von Umgebungswärme zu minimieren, ist der Behälter vorzugsweise gegen Wärmeeinfall isoliert (vorliegend kurz als wärmeisoliert bezeichnet). Für diesen Zweck kann der Raum zwischen dem beispielsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigten Behältereinsatz und der Behälterinnenseite mit wärmeisolierendem Material gefüllt sein. Der Behältereinsatz kann aber auch selbst aus wärmeisolerendem Material bestehen.In order to keep cold losses to a minimum and to minimize the penetration of ambient heat, the container is preferably insulated against the incidence of heat (referred to here as heat-insulated for short). For this purpose, the space between the container insert, for example made of plastic, and the inside of the container can be filled with heat-insulating material. The container insert can also consist of heat-insulating material.
Insbesondere aus ästhetischen Gründen ist vorzugsweise auf den Behalter ein Abschlußteil lösbar-aufgesetzt, das eine Ausnehmung aufweist, deren Innendurchmesser im wesentlichen gleich dem Außendurchmesser des unteren zylindrischen Teils der größten aufzunehmenden Flaschen und/oder im wesentlichen gleich dem Durchmesser des Raumes ist, der von dem oder den Kühlakkus in der dem größten Radialabstand von der Behälterlüngsachse entsprechenden Stellung begrenzt ist. Das Abschlußteil deckt auf diese Weise die Kühlakkus oben ab und verhindert auch deren Herausfallen aus dem Behälter. Das Abschlußteil hat zweckmäßig Ringform und ist mit dem Behälter über einen Rastverschluß verbunden. Dabei weist das Abschlußteil zweckmäßig einen oder mehrere seitliche Nocken auf, die in Rastausnehmungen einlegbar sind, die vorzugsweise in Traggriffen des Behälters ausgebildet sind.Particularly for aesthetic reasons, a closure part is preferably releasably placed on the container, which has a recess whose inner diameter is substantially equal to the outer diameter of the lower cylindrical part of the largest bottles to be accommodated and / or substantially the same as the diameter of the space from which or the cold pack is limited in the position corresponding to the greatest radial distance from the container longitudinal axis. The final part covers in this way the cool packs from the top and also prevents them from falling out of the container. The end part expediently has a ring shape and is connected to the container via a snap lock. The end part expediently has one or more lateral cams which can be inserted into latching recesses which are preferably formed in carrying handles of the container.
Die Erfindung ist im folgenden anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. In den beiliegenden Zeichnungen zeigt:

- Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht auf den Flaschenkühler nach Fig. 1 bei abgenommenem Abschlußring,
- Fig. 3 eine perspektivische Darstellung, die das Einsetzen der Kühlakkus in den Behälter erkennen läßt, und
- Fig. 4 eine Teilansicht des Rastverschlusses zwischen Behälter und Abschlußring.
- 1 is a partially sectioned elevation of the bottle cooler,
- 2 is a plan view of the bottle cooler of FIG. 1 with the end ring removed,

- Fig. 4 is a partial view of the snap lock between the container and the end ring.
Bei der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 1 weist der FlaschenkUhler einen topfförmigen Behälter 1 auf, der zweckmäßig aus Metalle Kunststoff, Keramik, Glas oder Pappe gefertigt sein kann. In dem Behälter 1 sitzt ein Behältereinsatz 2, vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff, dessen Innenseite 3 einen Krümmungsradius hat, der dem Außendurchmesser des zylindrischen Abschnitts der größten vom Flaschenkuhler aufzunehmenden Flasche 14, beispielsweise einer 1,0 1-Flasche, angepaßt ist. Der Raum zwischen dem Behälter 1 und dem Behältereinsatz 2 ist mit wärmeisolierendem Material 4 ausgefüllt.In the embodiment according to FIG. 1, the bottle cooler has a cup-
Der Behältereinsatz ist an einander diametral gegenüberliegenden Seiten mit jeweils zwei aneinander anschließenden Ausnehmungen 5, 6 (Fig. 2) ausgestattet. Die Ausnehmungen 5,.6 sind derart gestaltet, daß sie jeweils einen Kühlakku 7 von im wesentlichen kreisringsektorförmigem Querschnitt wahlweise in einer radial äußeren Stellung (Fig. 2, linke Hälfte) oder einer radial inneren Stellung (Fig. 2, rechte Hälfte) aufnehmen können. Wie aus Fig. 2 hervorgeht, ist die Innenseite 8 der Kühlakkus 7 in der von der Behälterlängsachse am weitesten entfernten Stellung mit der Innenseite 3 des Behältereinsatzes 2 im wesentlichen bündig. Dabei ist der innere KrUmmungsradius der Kuhlakkus 7 dem Außendurchmesser des zylindrischen Flaschenabschnitts der größten im Flaschenkühler aufzunehmenden Flasche angepaßt. In der in Fig. 1 und im linken Teil der Fig. 2 gezeigten Stellung steht infolgedessen der Kühlakku 7 relativ dicht an der zylindrischen Wand der 1,0 1-Flasche 14 an.The container insert is equipped on diametrically opposite sides with two
Werden die Kühlakkus 7 dagegen entsprechend dem rechten Teil der Fig. 2 in die radial weiter innen liegenden Ausnehmungen 6 des Behältereinsatzes 2 eingestellt, ragt ihre Innenseite 8 über die Innenseite 3 des Behältereinsatzes 2 nach innen vor. In dieser Stellung passen sich die Kuhlakkus weitgehend dem Umfang des zylindrischen Abschnitts einer kleineren Flasche, z.B. einer 0,7 1-Flasche, an.If, on the other hand, the
Auf den Behälter 1 ist ein Abschlußring 10 lösbar aufgesetzt. Der Abschlußring 10 hat einen Innendurchmesser, der im wesent lichen gleich dem Außendurchmesser des zylindrischen Teils der größten aufzunehmenden Flasche ist. Der im Querschnitt im wesentlichen umgekehrt U-förmige Abschlußring 10 trägt an seiner Außenseite zwei radial vorspringende Nocken 11, die in je eine Rastausnehmung 12 einlegbar sind, welche in mit dem Behälter 1 fest verbundenen Traggriffen 13 ausgebildet sind.A
Zur Verwendung des. FlaschenkUhlers werden die Kuhlakkus 7 zunächst im KUhl- oder Gefrierschrank mit Kälte aufgeladen. Bei abgenommenem Abschlußring 10 werden die KUhlakkus dann je nach der Größe der zu kühlenden Flasche in die Ausnehmungen (0,7 1-Flasche) oder die Ausnehmungen 5 (1,0 1-Flasche) eingestellt, wie dies in Fig. 3 angedeutet ist. Dann wird der Abschlußring 10 aufgesetzt. Entsprechend Fig. 4 werden die Nocken 11 durch Drehen des Rings 10 zum Eingriff in die Ausnehmungen 12 der Traggriffe 13 gebracht. Nunmehr kann die zu kühlende oder kühlzuhaltende Flasche 14 in den Flaschenkühler eingestellt sowie beliebig häufig aus diesem entnommen und wieder zurückgebracht werden, ohne daß es notwendig ist, die Kühlakkus 7 und/oder den Abschlußring 10 abzunehmen.To use the bottle cooler, the
Aus Gründen maximaler Kälteleistung haben die Kühlakkus 7 entsprechend Fig. 1 vorzugsweise eine im wesentlichen der Länge des zylindrischen Flaschenabsschnitts entsprechende Höhe. Die Kühlwirkung läßt sich dadurch dosieren, daß gegebenenfalls statt beider Kühlakkus nur einer der Kühlakkus in den Behölter 1 e;ngesetzt wird.For reasons of maximum cooling capacity, the
Im Rahmen der Erfindung sind zahlreiche Abwandlungen möglich. Beispielsweise kann der Flaschenkühler zur Aufnahme einer anderen Anzahl von KUhlakkus ausgelegt sein. Nicht alle Kühlakkus brauchen in ihrer Radiallage verstellbar angeordnet zu sein. Beispielsweise kann eine Anpassung an den jeweiligen Flaschendurchmesser auch dadurch erfolgen, daß nur einer von zwei Kühlakkus oder zwei von mehreren Kühlakkus in unterschiedlichem Abstand von der Behälterlängsachse einbringbar ist bzw. sind. Zur Halterung der Kühlakkus könnten entsprechend einer weiteren Abwandlung zusätzlich zu oder anstatt der Ausnehmungen 5, 6 zweckentsprechende Gestaltungen der Bodenplatte des Behälters und/oder des Behältereinsatzes bzw. der Wärmesiolierung herangezogen werden. Der geschilderte Dreischichtenaufbau bestehend aus Behälter, Behältereinsatz und Wärmeisolierung hat den Vorteil, daß der Behälter und der Einsatz im Hinblick auf leichte Reinigung, gefälliges Aussehen und hohe Lebensdauer ausgelegt werden können, während sich die Wärmeisolierung auf optimale Isolationseigenschaften hin dimensionieren läßt. Es ist grundsätzlich aber auch möglich, Behälter und/oder Behältereinsatz und/oder Wärmeisolation als einheitliches Bauteil auszugestalten. Die Ausnehmungen 5, 6 brauchen nicht, wie dargestellt, ineinander überzugehen. Beispielsweise könnten die Ausnehmungen 5 und die Ausnehmungen 6 gegeneinander winkelversetzt sein. Des weiteren ist es möglich, für unterschiedliche Flaschengrößen unterschiedlich bemessene KUhlakkus bereitzustellen, deren Innenradius jeweils dem Durchmesser der betreffenden Flaschengröße angepaßt ist.Numerous modifications are possible within the scope of the invention. For example, the bottle cooler can be designed to accommodate a different number of cool packs. Not all cold packs need to be adjustable in their radial position. For example, an adaptation to the respective bottle diameter can also take place in that only one of two cooling packs or two of several cooling packs can be inserted at a different distance from the longitudinal axis of the container. According to a further modification, appropriate designs of the base plate of the container and / or the container insert or the heat insulation could be used to hold the cooling batteries in addition to or instead of the
