ABSTRACT:
A cylinder shaped receptacle with one open end to receive bottles or beverage containers and is utilized in an ice bin, ice maker, freezer, or any refrigerated placement area to chill, refrigerate or store open, partially used or unused bottles, such as wine or liquor, or any other beverage container that is best when served cold or should be preserved cold. The receptacle has an adjustable, permanent support stand with rubber footings on the base to prevent movement. This movement, if any, is most likely to occur on a refrigeration shelf. For commercial usage the receptacle is manufactured without the support stand and can be suspended in the ice bin by utilizing a receptacle suspension clip.
The receptacle can be utilized in a vertical, horizontal or slanted position. The adjustable support stand enables the user to obtain a variable slanted position by loosening the two wing nuts on the support stand, positioning the stand to the desired angle and then retightening the two wing nuts. When utilizing the receptacle in a residential wet bar ice maker, a specially designed rubber receptacle lid or cap with numerous slits to permit ultimate pliability should be placed on the open end of the receptacle in order to prevent ice cubes from dropping into the cylinder. This rubber lid is produced from an extremely pliable material in order to permit the bottle or container to easily slide in and out of the receptacle opening. The receptacle itself contains slots or openings small enough to prevent ice cubes or ice chunks from entering the chilling or storing area.
The receptacles may also be manufactured permanently clustered together for users requiring serving volume or beverage selection. For more flexible uses the receptacles may be clustered together by utilizing receptacle connector clamps.
