P.R.O. cooler or the perfectly re-engineered omni cooler

Abstract

The manner in which you use this cooler is you first remove the lid, then remove the inner tray. You then add ice (as much or as little as desired), water (enough to cover ice), a hand full of rock salt and the desired beverage containers. If traveling reinsert inner tray and lid and that's it, But if you are where your going and you want a drink fast just simply mix water with your hand and set timer to Cold, Ice Cold, Arctic Cold, or Liquid Ice and when bell rings your drinks are ready.You can also reverse the lid and put ice and drinks in it as a serving cooler. The inner tray has four equal compartments for storing cold foods or for serving from. The Timer is also a great tool for grilling or as a reminder, when set, to keep an eye on the grill.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates specifically to the field of coolers or ice chests, i.e., generally rectangular containers with insulated walls and having a hinged or removable top lid, typically portable, into which items to be cooled or chilled, such as cans or bottles, are placed along with ice and water.[0002]Coolers used in chilling and maintaining at reduced temperature beverage containers such as bottles or cans are well known. Usually composed of insulated plastic walls. Portable coolers are common for use in transporting bottles or cans of beverages to be consumed at chilled temperatures. In the most common scenario, a large number of cans or bottles are placed into the interior of the cooler and a large amount of relatively small ice cubes or crushed ice is then placed on top of the containers. As the heat is drawn from the cans or bottles by the ice, the ice melts to create a slurry of chilled water and ice surrounding, the beverage containers. Ind...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005]A cooler with the standard four walls and lid for use as a means to cool down below ambient temperatures containers such as bottles or cans for consuming. The lid on one side is a molded seat and on the other side is a bowl for serving purposes. The lid seals the cooler in either position. The cooler has an inner-bowl also for serving but while in cooler with lid in seat position makes a water tight cold storage bowl. A timer is located on the front of cooler with settings marked for cooling a drink to a desired range of temperatures. The cooler also has a drain or spout for draining water from cooler. This cooler was designed to be used with ice, water, and rock salt to cool down items but the rock salt is not a must. The rock salt is the key to faster cooling and lower water temperatures however.

Problems solved by technology

The problem that arises as to how long to wait and how can they be cooled faster than the ice and water method.
