A beverage can holding container (20) is removably positionable within an interior area (12) of a refrigerator (10). The container has an interior area (36) that holds a plurality of beverage cans (22). A plurality of handles (46, 58, 60) are provided to facilitate removing the container from the refrigerator and transporting the container with the beverage cans therein to a location away from the refrigerator where the beverages will be consumed.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF CONTROLLING PRODUCT TEMPERATURES DURING DELIVERY
In some embodiments, systems and methods are provided that limit the change in temperature and/or control a temperature of a product during delivery. Some embodiments provide systems to limit temperature changes of a product during transit, comprising: aerosol temperature control system comprising a product holder configured to support a product, wherein the product holder is separate from the delivery vehicle and comprises a temperature sensor, and an aerosol dispenser system that comprises a reservoir configured to hold aerosol material, an actuator and a dispenser; and a temperature control circuit coupled with the temperature sensor and the actuator, wherein the temperature control circuit is configured to receive temperature data, determine based on current temperature data that a temperature of the first product is greater than a first transport temperature threshold, and to autonomously activate the actuator while the first product is in transit.
Beverage container packaging
A beverage container packing assembly includes a bottom tray defining a plurality of first compartments. The first compartments receive a first portion of a beverage container. The bottom tray includes first support columns. The beverage container packing assembly includes a center support defining through holes. The through holes receive a second portion of a beverage container therethrough. The center support includes second support columns configured to stack on the first support columns. The center support is configured to accommodate a thermo pack between a first row and a second row of the through holes. The beverage container packing assembly includes a top tray defining second compartments. The second compartments to receive a third portion of a beverage container therein.
SHELF AND DRAWER ASSEMBLIES FOR STORING BOTTLES
A shelf assembly includes a frame assembly having a side member, wherein the frame assembly is operable between stowed and extended positions. A rack assembly includes a first rack hingedly coupled to a second rack. The first rack and the second rack are pivotally coupled to the side member of the frame assembly, and the rack assembly is operable between first and second positions. The first rack and the second rack are angled towards a pivot axis defined between the first rack and the second rack when the rack assembly is in the second position. The rack assembly moves from the first position to the second position as the frame assembly moves from the stowed position to the extended position.
Under cabinet/shelf storage rack
Rack systems, devices, and methods for attaching and providing foldable storage racks underneath refrigerator shelves or cabinets or other shelves for suspending, storing and separating wine bottles and beverage cans and plates. The storage racks can include a plurality of bail cradles each having ends pivotally attached to brackets. The bail cradles can have concave support surfaces for supporting and separating bottles and cans.
Beverage container chilling apparatus and method
A vessel for chilling wine with ice or ice-water mixture has an inner support chamber for standing up wine bottle and separating them from liquid water to avoid over chilling. The inner support as a plurality of perforations in an upper portion of the vessel to facilitate heat exchange. As ice outside the support melts, the water formed will remain below the perforations.
COOLING SYSTEM FOR CONTAINER IN A VEHICLE
A cooling system comprises a container that is conductively coupled or convectively coupled to a thermoelectric device to selectively cool and/or heat the container. A climate controlled container system for a vehicle includes a container or cavity and a conduction element configured to cool the cavity. In some embodiments, the cooling system comprises a housing, a housing inlet, a fluid passage and one or more thermoelectric devices and fluid transfer devices positioned within the housing.
Insulated shipping container
An insulated container for storing or shipping bottles includes a body and a lid. The body has a shell and an insert portion formed from an insulating material. The lid also has a shell and an insert portion formed from the insulating which meets the insert portion of the body to form cavities. The cavities include a temperature control pack cavity and four or more separate bottle storage cavities distributed around the temperature control pack cavity. Each of the bottle storage cavities is configured for receiving a bottle from among three or more different bottle types. Each of the bottle types has a different shape and/or size than each of the other bottle types. Each of the bottle storage cavities includes at least three bottle stop features on one or more internal surfaces. Each bottle stop feature is associated with a different one of the three or more bottle types.
Freezer rack
A storage rack suitable for a freezer includes a base platform having a plurality of ribs defining a corresponding plurality of channels. One or more dividers may be removably seated within a selected channel. The dividers include a divider platform having a pair of downwardly extending arms terminating in inward hooks which engage the base platform.
BEVERAGE CONTAINER WITH ACTIVE TEMPERATURE CONTROL
A container with active temperature control system is provided. The active temperature control system is operated to heat or cool a chamber sized to receive a beverage therein.
