Abstract

An apparatus for rapid cooling of bottles, cans or other containers of liquid or of solid materials is disclosed. The apparatus is comprised of a top-opening cabinet which has a tub for holding liquid and a refrigeration unit for cooling the liquid in the tub. A plate having an opening is placed across the tube and a bag is positioned in the opening so that it extends into the liquid. The bag is made of a thin, flexible, water impervious material and it is sealed across the opening in the plate so that direct access to the liquid is prevented. The container is placed in the bag which then substantially conforms to the shape of that part of the container lying below the surface of the liquid. The container's contents are cooled without the container ever coming into direct contact with the liquid.
