BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] To further clarify various aspects of some example embodiments of the present invention, a more particular description of the invention will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawing. It is appreciated that the drawing depicts only illustrated embodiments of the invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawing in which:

[0032] FIG. 1 is the front view of the instant freeze pack of the present invention.

[0033] FIG. 2 is the side view of the instant freeze pack of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0034] The embodiments of the present disclosure described below are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure to the precise forms disclosed in the following detailed description. Rather, the embodiments are chosen and described so that others skilled in the art may appreciate and understand the principles and practices of the present disclosure.

[0035] The following embodiments and the accompanying drawings, which are incorporated into and form part of this disclosure, illustrate embodiments of the invention, and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the invention. The instant freeze pack of the present invention FIG. 1 can be utilized for multiple beverages and food items to instantly freeze any sports drink, electrolyte drink, or margarita into ice cold slush, turn a protein shake into protein ice cream, or any food product, such as yogurt, pudding, or applesauce, into a frozen treat (1).

[0036] The present invention is exactly opposite of the M.R.E (a military food) which contains a chemical heat packet and when water is added, it brings food packet to a near boil cooking your meal. The present invention provides a system for instantly freezing different energy drinks through the use of these packs in order to be used later into the field. The present system serves two major functions: lower body temperature and avoid heat exhaustion, and adequately hydrate essential electrolytes. The present invention can further be used as instant freeze pack for instantly preparing ice creams, wherein the essential ingredients used for making ice cream are already sealed together in the package, which when needed can be instantly frozen using instant freeze pack. The invention rests in a small pouch (2) having dimensions for example 55 or inches. The center compartment (3) has Velcro (4) and opens up, allowing for placement of a food item or any beverage or the like of consumer's choice inside. On the outside of the pouch, on the front and back are two more compartments (3) where disposable instant cold packs are placed FIG. 2. The food or beverage item never comes in direct contact with the instant ice packs.

[0037] In the prior arts the food item or beverage had to come in direct contact of instant ice pack that got them to 10 to 15 deg. F. and stayed near that temp for 2-3 minutes. All instant ice packs currently use ammonium nitrate or urea which is activated when a small water pouch is popped. Ammonium nitrate is fading out as it is explosive in the presence of a direct flame source, yet it is still being sold in U.S. If more ammonium nitrate is used, the pack can get colder. The military requires instant ice packs to stay between 20-40 F. as it can be used on the body over an injury. Some packs mix ammonium formate, urea and water to reach temps between 13 and 30 F.

[0038] It is also an added advantage of using the present invention, wherein the present invention can be reused. Also, the present invention can be used differently, wherein using a single instant cold packet will turn the beverage item ice cold, and using two packets simultaneously will freeze it into a slush or ice cream consistency.

[0039] Although specific embodiments have been illustrated and described herein, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that any arrangement that is calculated to achieve the same purpose may be substituted for the specific embodiment shown.

[0040] This application is intended to cover any adaptations or variations of the present invention.

[0041] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other possible modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
