Cooling beverage cover / beverage mat with protective function

Abstract

Drink cover with cooling function, comprehensive • a disc-shaped shell (1), • a base plate made of metal (2), • a coolant space enclosed between two layers (3), • where the coolant is food-safe and freezeable, • and the cover is dimensioned so that it can be placed over the opening of a drinking vessel.

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a device for the temporary cooling and simultaneous covering of a drinking vessel, in particular glasses or cups, for use in leisure activities, outdoor settings, or the catering industry. The cover can optionally be used as a mat. Using both the cover and the mat simultaneously results in greater cooling. State of the art

[0002] Both cooling packs and beverage covers are known from the prior art. However, conventional covers do not offer a cooling function; conversely, cooling packs cannot be used as lids or protective covers. Therefore, there is a need for a combined product that cools beverages in the short term and simultaneously protects them from environmental influences (e.g., insects, dirt, pollen). Object of the invention

[0003] The aim is to create a compact, reusable device that simultaneously serves as a cover and / or support for a drinking vessel and provides a cooling function for a limited period of at least 20-45 minutes. Solution to the task

[0004] The task is solved by a flat, disc-shaped cover with an integrated cavity filled with a food-grade cooling gel (e.g., a water-gel mixture with antifreeze).

[0005] The device has the following features: • Diameter adapted to standard drinking glasses (e.g. 70-90 mm) • Outer shell made of a thermoplastic, food-safe material (e.g. PP or Tritan) • Sealed interior with cooling compound (e.g., water + gelling agent + propylene glycol) • The outer shell is sealed at the bottom with a metal disc, which transfers the cold very well to the glass / jug. • Optional: Non-slip underside or surrounding edge for secure placement • Optional: Lid design with logo, opening slot or print

[0006] The device is stored frozen (e.g., in the freezer) and placed on the drinking vessel as needed. The cooling effect lasts 30-45 minutes, depending on the ambient temperature. Summary

[0007] The invention relates to a combined beverage cover with an integrated cooling function, which can be placed on top of or underneath a drinking glass. It protects the beverage from environmental influences (e.g., insects) and simultaneously cools it temporarily. The device consists of a flat plastic cover with an enclosed coolant.
