Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
[0001] The present invention is a drink container. More
specifically, the present invention is a self-contained,
single-use, disposable and recyclable cold drink container.
Description of the Related Art
[0002] Conventionally, the only way to keep beverages cold is
through the use of heavy coolers with ice placed inside of them.
Carrying these types of coolers around all day may be very tiresome
since they typically have to be re-filled with fresh ice
periodically, as the ice gradually melts leaving a puddle of water
inside the containers. Also in remote locations like when biking,
hiking, on military patrol, while traveling throughout the world
where other means would be unobtainable.
[0003] What is needed is a cold drink pack that provide consumers
with an independent plastic drink container that they may take with
them anywhere on the go. The cold drink pack is single-use,
disposable, recyclable and becomes instantly cold when
squeezed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS
[0014] Various aspects of the illustrative embodiments will be
described using terms commonly employed by those skilled in the art
to convey the substance of their work to others skilled in the art.
However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the
present invention may be practiced with only some of the described
aspects. For purposes of explanation, specific numbers, materials
and configurations are set forth in order to provide a thorough
understanding of the illustrative embodiments. However, it will be
apparent to one skilled in the art that the present invention may
be practiced without the specific details. In other instances,
well-known features are omitted or simplified in order not to
obscure the illustrative embodiments.
[0015] Various operations will be described as multiple discrete
operations, in turn, in a manner that is most helpful in
understanding the present invention however the order of
description should not be construed as to imply that these
operations are necessarily order dependent. These operations need
not be performed in the order of presentation.
[0016] The phrase "in one embodiment" is used repeatedly. The
phrase generally does not refer to the same embodiment, however, it
may. The terms "comprising", "having" and "including" are
synonymous, unless the context dictates otherwise.
[0017] FIG. 1 illustrates a front view of a cold drink pack 100 in
accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The cold
drink pack 100 may come in approximate 6-ounce sizes to contain
cocktails selected from the group consisting of scotch, mixed
drinks, hard liquor or other suitable cocktails or in approximate
12-ounce sizes to contain a drink selected from the group
consisting of a soft drink, a juice, champagne, a wine cooler, iced
tea, iced coffee or other suitable cold drink. Other sizes will be
made available as demand requires.
[0018] The cold drink pack 100 may include a drinking container
110, one or more cold chemical icepacks 120, a drinking stem 130, a
cap 140 and a vent stem 150.
[0019] The drinking container 110 may contain a cold drink 112 such
as a cocktail, a soft drink, a type of juice such as orange juice,
grape juice or a fruit juice, champagne, a wine cooler, iced tea,
iced coffee or other suitable cold drink. The cold drink pack 100
may provide a cold drink 112 without utilizing a cooler or ice. The
drinking container 110 may be made of plastic such as transparent
plastic to see the cold drink contained within the drinking
container or non-transparent plastic or other suitable material.
The one or more cold chemical icepacks 120 may each be disposed on
each one or more interior walls 110A of the drinking container 110.
The one or more cold chemical icepacks 120 may be adapted to be
broken by snapping or squeezing the drinking container 110 to
freeze the one or more cold chemical icepacks 120, thereby chilling
the cold drink 112 contained in the drinking container 110. The one
or more cold chemical icepacks 120 may each have an insulated outer
wall 120A to retain cold within the drinking container 110 to also
insulate the holder's hand from cold and a non-insulated inner wall
120B to promote chilling the cold drink 112 contained within the
drinking container 110. FIG. 1 illustrates 1 one or more cold
chemical icepacks 120. The drinking stem 130 may extend from a top
middle 110B or off-center portion (not shown) of the drinking
container 110 to prevent spilling the cold drink 112 contained
within the drinking container 110 while drinking the cold drink
112. The cap 140 may be adapted to be placed over the drinking stem
130 to contain the cold drink 112 within the drinking container
110. The cap 140 may be a threaded cap 140A and have a tamperproof
seal 142 to indicate that the cold drink pack 100 has not been
opened or tampered with. The vent stem 150 may facilitate flow of
the cold drink 112.
[0020] FIG. 2 illustrates a cut-away view of a cold drink pack 100,
in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
[0021] The inner drinking container 110 may include a first
outermost plastic layer 111, a second outermost insulation layer
112A, a third outermost insulation layer 113, a fourth outermost
plastic container layer 114, an optional fifth outermost insulation
layer 115, a double drinking stem 135 and a pair of the caps
140.
[0022] The first outermost plastic layer 111 may typically be
approximately twice as thick as the drinking container 110
thickness. The second outermost insulation layer 112A may be
sprayed on insulation with glue with an approximate thickness of
1/8 inch or less. The third outermost insulation layer 113 may be
approximately 3 mm thick. The fourth outermost plastic container
layer 114 may be filled with a non-toxic substance and more
specifically may be filled with a plurality of urea crystals. The
double drinking stem 135 may include a first straw 135A and a
second straw 135B. The first straw 135A may be for ventilating. The
second straw 135B may be for ventilating. The first straw 135A is
longer than the second straw 135B.
[0023] The pair of caps 140 may each be adapted to be placed over
the longer straw 135A and the shorter straw 135B to contain the
cold drink 112 within the drinking container 110.
[0024] While the present invention has been related in terms of the
foregoing embodiments those skilled in the art will recognize that
the invention is not limited to the embodiments described. The
present invention may be practiced with modification and alteration
within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Thus, the
