ABSTRACT:
A portable cabinet for effecting the cooling of beverage containers by utilization of a thermoelectric cooling unit comprises a rectilinear cabinet having spaced inner and outer walls formed of plastic and having the space between filled with a foam plastic. An upper container insertion opening and a lower container removal opening is provided in the front wall of the cabinet. A core block is inserted within the inner walls of the container and cooperates with the inner wall surfaces of the cabinet to define a channel extending in a downward direction between the insertion opening and the discharge opening, thereby permitting an inserted cylindrical container to roll through the channel under the influence of gravity. Rotatable, insulated doors are provided in each of the openings and such doors are of generally cylindrical segment configuration but define a concave container receiving notch so that a container may be inserted into the cooling channel or moved therefrom without opening the cooling channel to an inflow of ambient air. The rear wall of the cabinet has an inclined insulated section. A metallic strip is mounted adjacent the rear wall and the bottom of the channel and overlies such opening. The thermoelectric cooling unit is positioned in the inclined insulated section and is thermally connected to the cooling strip.
