A bundle of containers like bottles or cans comprises a structure (2) for holding containers (3), having a base wall (4) intended to support the containers (3) and lateral walls (5) extending from the base wall (4), which define a compartment (6) intended for the support of the containers (3). The compartment (6) is impermeable for receiving a predefined amount of ice intended for cooling the containers. The bundle (1) also comprises a wrapping (7) made of thermoretractable plastic material which wraps the structure (2) for holding containers (3) and the containers (3) arranged therein. The wrapping (7) has at least one access opening (8) for the introduction of the ice into the housing compartment (6) of the structure (2) for holding containers (3). An optional spacer between containers provides gaps for receiving the coolant.

A beverage container includes a base, a stem, and a bowl. The base has a base lateral dimension parallel to the horizontal supporting plane. The stem extends upwardly from a stem lower end coupled to the base to a stem upper end. The stem has a heat pipe extending between the stem lower end and the stem upper end. The stem has a stem lateral dimension smaller than the base lateral dimension. The bowl is coupled to the stem upper end and extends upwardly of the stem. The bowl defines a liquid chamber having an upper opening. Other beverage containers, systems, methods, and heat transfer pads are also disclosed.

A mechanical apparatus comprised of a plurality of pods in the form of an annular cylindrical sleeve, a cup and a ring cap. Whereas, the pods containing liquid are to be frozen for the purpose of dynamically discharging its thermal energy to a drink object placed within. The pods of the annular cylindrical sleeve are joined to each other by removable latitudinal elastic bands. Thus allowing the annular cylindrical sleeve to instantly expand/contract to grip varying sizes drink object. In operation, a charged (frozen ice) annular cylindrical sleeve is disposed in the cup; a ring cap is installed to cup to cover and protect the discharging of thermal energy therein from ambient conditions. A drink object in the form of canned or bottled may be inserted in the apparatus to receive desired chill temperature for an extended length of time in ambient conditions.

An example cold pack assembly may include a pack and a band. The pack may include an internal cavity with a substance disposed within the internal cavity. The pack may also include a first recessed surface and a second recessed surface. The band may be disposed around the pack such that the band engages a first item and generates a first force to urge the first item into pressed engagement with the first recessed surface and the band engages a second item and generates a second force to urge the second item into pressed engagement with the second recessed surface. The band may be elastic.

A replaceable grip for a lacrosse stick includes a sleeve having a first end portion, a second end portion, an outer surface, a longitudinal axis extending between the first end portion and the second end portion, and a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The first end portion has an opening formed therein that extends toward the second end portion, and the opening is configured for receiving an end portion of a lacrosse stick. The outer surface includes a slanted region having an angle in the range of 1-15 degrees relative to the longitudinal axis.

A cooling apparatus includes an inner beverage container for containing a food product and having a rim and a side wall and a base dome, and an outer shell container having an open rim and a side wall and a base dome, where the inner beverage container is snugly fitted into the open rim of the outer shell container and a common lid on the container rims, and the inner beverage container is shorter than the outer shell container defining a dry gas chamber between the container base domes containing a dry gas and a cooling structure, and where the diameters of the inner beverage container is less than that of the outer shell container leaving a radial space between the container cylindrical walls defining a humidification liquid chamber containing a humidification liquid, and a deformable barrier between the dry gas chamber and the humidification liquid chamber.

A bottle storage includes a container that contains a bottle; a cooling-warming apparatus provided to surround a position where the bottle is contained; and an image capturer that captures an image of the bottle contained in the container. The cooling-warming apparatus has a gap at least at a portion of the cooling-warming apparatus corresponding to at least a part of an image capturing region of the image capturer.

A mechanical apparatus comprised of a plurality of pods in the form of an annular cylindrical sleeve. All pods containing liquid are to be frozen for the purpose of dynamically transfer/impart its charged thermal energy to a directly contacted beverage object placed within. The pods are joined to each other by latitudinal elastic bands allowing it to expand readily and grip onto varying size beverage containers. Furthermore, the plurality of pods and a beverage container are disposed in an insulated holder; a sealable cap is then inserted to seal off and insulate the discharging of thermal energy therein from ambient conditions. A beverage in the form of can or bottle might be placed in the apparatus to achieve desired chill temperature for an extended length of time in high ambient temperature conditions.

Grips for striking implements, e.g., baseball bats, that adjust the position of the implement in the user's hand such that the implement can be held in a preferred position relative to the user's forearm without the user needing to radially deviate their wrist from its neutral position are disclosed.

Certain embodiments are suited for placement on a standard bat by the user. Other embodiments are more suited for placement on a modified bat during manufacture.

Use of the disclosed grips increases user comfort and lessens the risk to injuries associated with radial deviation of the wrist and with movement of the user's hand in relation to the striking implement, e.g., the bottom of the batter's palm striking against the knob of a bat.

For the purpose of improving a stability a home appliance device, in particular a home appliance chiller device, at least one elongate frame element which has at least one first fixing feature and at least one deposit element for depositing of victuals are provided. The deposit element has at least one second fixing feature in an end region and is connected to the frame element. The first fixing feature and the second fixing feature being fixed to each other in a form-fit manner in order to prevent a movement of the deposit element with respect to the frame element in a direction which is at least substantially parallel to a main extension direction of the frame element.
