FIG. 1 illustrates a front side perspective view of an infant bottle cooler 100, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. The infant bottle cooler 100 is an electrically powered appliance that can keep liquid bottles and beverages at a cool temperature without having to refrigerate the bottles or beverages, thereby eliminating a lot of extra work and effort for parents.
The infant bottle cooler 100 includes a disc 110, a control switch 120, one or more batteries 130, an electrical cord 140, a plurality of cup holders 150 and a cooling compartment 160.
The infant bottle cooler 100 has a disc 110 to receive a bottle to be cooled (not shown). There is also a control switch 120 which turns the infant bottle cooler 100 on and off that can be any suitable control switch. The disc 110 is disposed above a cooling compartment 160 that is insulated into which a cold pack or ice is placed for a relative long-lasting cooling effect. There are also one or more batteries 130 that can be utilized to power the infant bottle cooler 100 when an electric power source is not available. There is also a power cord and plug 140 that can utilize an available electric power source such as an electrical outlet, cigarette adapter, electric generator or other suitable power source to power the infant bottle cooler 100. To ensure product versatility, the infant bottle cooler 100 also has a plurality of bottle and container holders 150 that are typically two bottle and container holders 150 which can be utilized for holding extra bottles or regular beverages while a bottle or beverage is cooling.
The design of the infant bottle cooler 100 is relatively compact and is made of relatively lightweight material, making it ideal for use at home or on the go. The infant bottle cooler 100 can be utilized to cool wet or dry bottles or beverages in variety of containers suitable for cooling. The infant bottle cooler 100 is approximately 10″ in height, 7″ in width and 6″ in diameter and is made of relatively lightweight plastic and rubber. The infant bottle cooler 100 can withstand temperatures up to 210 degrees Celsius and as low as 5 degrees Celsius.
While the present invention has been related in terms of the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art will recognize that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described. The present invention can be practiced with modification and alteration within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Thus, the description is to be regarded as illustrative instead of restrictive on the present invention.
