ABSTRACT:

This invention relates to a cooling apparatus, in particular, but not limited to, a display device.
It has long been realised that merchandising products through free-standing display units leads to much greater turnover in products. This has proven to be impractical with products that need to be kept cool, such as butter and other dairy products, as they had to be displayed in electrically powered fridges and the necessary cables and powerpoints for the supply of power to these fridges presents the shopkeeper or supermarket owner with logistical problems.
It is an object of the present invention to overcome these problems.
The invention, therefore, provides a cooling apparatus comprising first means for accommodating at least one consumer product to be kept cool, second means for accommodating a replaceable charge of solid coolant out of contact with the product, and communication means between the first and second accommodating means to allow cold gas to flow from the solid coolant to the product.
