ABSTRACT:
A multi-compartment jug (1) is provided with an exterior peripheral wall (3) and an interior generally cylindrical wall (6) of substantially lesser diameter than the exterior wall. The walls are joined by a plurality of partitions (9) to thereby form a plurality of individual compartments (11) for storing liquids or the like. The interior wall forms a separate central compartment (12) for receiving ice which functions to cool the contents of the other compartments. Each peripheral storage compartment (11) is provided with its own separate lid (16), with the lids being seatable on the respective outer and inner walls. When the lids are in place, a cap or cover (29) is secured downwardly over the inner wall which biases the inner lid portions against a seat (27) disposed on the inner wall, thus automatically locking the lids in place. The inner lid portions are provided with tabs (32) to facilitate manual removal of the lids when they are unlocked. An ice lift (33) is disposed in the central compartment (12), and is designed to raise any ice therein to the top thereof for easy access, while permitting the melted ice-water to remain at the bottom, where it can be removed through a spigot (14). A generally U-shaped carrying handle (37) is pivotally mounted to a ring (39) disposed about the outer jug wall, with the ring being rotatable about the center jug axis (4) to vary the handle position to accommodate off-center loads within the jug.
