Embodiment Construction

[0020] The wine cooler shown in the Figures comprises an oval or elliptical outer wall (1) mounted on a base (2). A curved inner wall (3) forms a chamber (5) dimensioned to receive a wine bottle (not shown). A raised support (4) on the lower surface of the chamber (5) provides a support for a bottle allowing coolant to circulate under the base of the bottle in use. The base may provide a socket to engage a bottle preventing the bottle from floating when empty or partially empty. Alternatively or in addition one or more inwardly facing ribs or projections may be arranged to engage the bottle to prevent floatation.

[0021] A reservoir (6) has a larger volume than the chamber (5) and serves to accommodate iced water (not shown) so that the water may be circulated between the reservoir (6) and chamber (5), while retaining the ice pieces within the reservoir (6). A pump (7) powered by batteries (16) is located beneath the base of the reservoir. The pump has an outlet (9) at the bottom of ...

Abstract

A bottle cooler comprising an upwardly opening chamber having a base upon which a bottle may be located, the neck of the bottle extending from an opening of the chamber, an upwardly opening reservoir adjacent the chamber, a pump, a passage from the reservoir communicating with the chamber so that water may be pumped in use from the reservoir to the chamber, the chamber including a further passage communicating with the reservoir arranged so that water may be circulated in use from the reservoir to the chamber and from the chamber to the reservoir, the cooler including a plurality of overflow conduits, a first conduit having an inlet from the reservoir and an outlet to the chamber, and a second conduit having an inlet from the chamber and outlet to the reservoir.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Applicant hereby claims foreign priority benefits under U.S.C. § 119 from United Kingdom Patent Application No. 0519718.1 filed on Sep. 28, 2005 the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein. FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] This invention relates to apparatus for cooling a bottle particularly but not exclusively a bottle containing wine or other beverage or drink. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Wine coolers are well known, for example comprising an insulating container into which a bottle, ice and iced water may be placed. This kind of wine cooler has a disadvantage that a large capacity of container is necessary in order to maintain a cold bottle over a prolonged period, so that the bottle may not be securely supported with a risk of spillage or splashing. The rate of cooling may be slow and temperature of the bottle cannot be controlled. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] According to the present invention a bottle cooler ...
