ABSTRACT:
A canister adapted to receive food or a beverage container for insertion into a chilling vessel such as an ice bucket comprising a sleeve member and a base member adapted to support the canister within an appropriate chilling vessel. The base member has a transverse portion extending outwardly from the periphery of the sleeve member which extends upwardly from the base member and has an open upper end through which food or a beverage container can be inserted and withdrawn. The sleeve is provided with a cap having a transverse closure member at least partially closing the upper end of the sleeve and a downwardly depending skirt which is configured to fit around the upper periphery of the sleeve member in order to hold the cap member in place on the sleeve. At least one flow channel provides for fluid communication between the exterior and interior of the canister. The cap member has a central aperture to accommodate the insertion of a wine bottle or the like and is configured to provide a plurality of slots which extend radially outwardly from the central aperture in a spoke-like configuration and to divide the cap into a plurality of flexible segments. The canister is configured to provide an internal upstanding support near the bottom thereof extending upwardly into the interior of the sleeve to provide a clearance space between the bottom of the container and the bottom of the canister.
