Description
- Not applicable.
- Not applicable.
- 1. Field of Invention
- The present invention relates to the field of patio umbrellas and coolers adapted for use with patio umbrella and table units.
- 2. Description of Prior Art
- There are a variety of beverage coolers on the market that have been designed to work in conjunction with an umbrella, a grill, or other recreational utilities, however, none thus far have adequately addressed the situation encountered by the user of a patio table not otherwise built to receive a beverage cooler. For example, Samuel Patarra (U.S. Pat. No. 6,374,839) invented a portable cooler with an umbrella mounting means that is essentially a rectangular ice chest with numerous attachments to receive umbrellas, drinks, etc. Similarly, the Treppedi ice chest (U.S. Pat. No. 6,474,097), Sharp (U.S. Pat. No. 6,536,733), Karpinsiki (U.S. Pat. No. 6,474,244) and Kopmar (U.S. Pat. No. 2,805,109) patents have suggested novel modifications of coolers and tables that work with picnic umbrellas. U.S. Pat. No. 6,199,570, also to Patarra, describes a portable umbrella/cooler unit, but that is structurally and materially different from the present invention, which is a separate cooler unit adapted to fit around commercially available patio furniture.
- While all of the above references are good ideas and useful to the consuming public, they do not address the problems solved by the present invention. Commercially available patio furniture is not typically sold with built in beverage coolers, although the need is present and the feature is desirable and not available to the public. Users of patio furniture are generally using the patio furniture because to do so is relaxing. Any additional expenditures of energy by the user tend to disrupt the leisurely enjoyment of the patio furniture. Also, it is customary for users of patio furniture to enjoy a beverage, or several, while lounging. However, it is both annoying and cumbersome for a user to be compelled to return to a kitchen or to get up from his or her patio chair to bend over and open the top of most ice chest coolers to get a new beverage. The present invention solves the present leisure crisis of commercially available patio furniture and enhances the convenience of the user of patio furniture by providing a bucket styled cooler apparatus that is adapted to be used with most commercially available umbrella and patio table units. Further, the present invention will not obstruct typical uses of patio furniture table units.
- Accordingly, it is the objective of the present invention to provide a beverage cooler that has an umbrella mast passageway and which device is adapted to rest on top of the user's patio table. The beverage cooler is adapted to fit most commercially available patio furniture, it does not leak, avoids condensation dripping, and optionally has a lid to maintain temperature.
- It is a further objective of the present invention to provide a preferable embodiment that is insulated.
- It is a further objective of the present invention to provide a cooler made from any of the group of materials which may include metal, sealed metal, galvanized metal, plastic, plastic, polystyrene, plastic-polystyrene combinations, or collapsible and insulated fabric materials that are commonly known in the cooler industry.
- It is a further object of the present invention to enhance convenience and leisure of use to the user of patio furniture and to minimize expenditure of energy required to get a beverage.
- It is further an object of the present invention to provide a cooler that is easy to install, inexpensive and of durable construction.
- Other objectives of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art once the invention has been shown and described.
- The manner in which these objectives and other desirable characteristics can be obtained is explained in the following description and attached drawings in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a person enjoying the benefits of the present invention. -
FIG. 2 is a three-dimensional view of the table cooler unit as it is typically used with a patio table and with an umbrella mast. -
FIG. 3 is a three-dimensional view of an optional embodiment of the circular beverage cooler with a hinged lid unit. - It is to be noted, however, that the appended drawings illustrate only typical embodiments of this invention and are therefore not to be considered limiting of its scope, for the invention may admit to other equally effective embodiments.
-
FIG. 1 is a three-dimensional view of patio table cooler unit (“cooler unit”) 4 as it typically appears when placed on a patio table 2 and used in conjunction with an umbrella mast 1. Thecooler unit 4 is adapted to receive an umbrella mast 1 of a patio set umbrella through amast passageway 9 located at a midpoint of thecooler unit 4. When properly used, the umbrella mast 1 will pass through theentire cooler unit 4 by way of themast passageway 9 in much the same fashion as an axle would pass through a wheel. Themast passageway 9 is preferably defined by an overall tubular shape and connects atop aperture 7 and abottom aperture 8. Themast passageway 9 has an inside wall and an outside wall, with the inside wall forming the guide for umbrella mast 1 as it passes throughmast passageway 9 of thecooler unit 4. The outside wall ofmast passageway 9 forms one wall of thebeverage receiving channel 16 of thecooler unit 4. Thebottom aperture 8 ofmast passageway 9 also forms an aperture at a midpoint ofcooler bottom 5, which is where an umbrella mast 1 finally passes through themast passageway 9 and down through the patio table 2 attable aperture 3 to the base of a patio table 2 where the umbrella mast 1 is typically secured. Thecooler bottom 5 forms a preferable circular plane extending outward from and preferably perpendicular tomast passageway 9. Thecooler unit 4 is preferably watertight as with the other surface interfaces of the present invention and as further described in this specification.Cooler bottom 5 extends outward on a horizontal plane frombottom aperture 8 until it interfaces withcooler wall 6.Cooler wall 6 extends upward fromcooler bottom 5 and forms an outermost wall of thecooler unit 4. Also shown inFIG. 1 is the preferable embodiment of adrain 18, which extends through thecooler wall 6 to permit drainage of melted ice or other liquids. This drain is selectively open or closed by the user and can be as simple as a plug apparatus, or it may also take the form of a spigot, valve, tap, or faucet. Alternately the drain may be located through thecooler bottom 5. The drain is an important preferable feature because it permits draining of thecooler unit 4 without the need to remove the umbrella mast 1 from the patio table 2. - The overall preferable appearance of the
cooler unit 4 is that of a bucket, through the center of which passes an umbrella mast 1. The umbrella passes through adefined mast passageway 9. Thecooler unit 4 is preferably open at its top so that ice and beverages may be loaded from the top into the unit. The user's preferable content, ice, beers, etc., is loaded into thebeverage receiving channel 16, which is the space inside thecircular cooler unit 4.

Thebeverage receiving channel 16 is the part of the unit that ultimately holds ice, beverages, cold food, etc. In another preferred use of the invention, a user may elect to fill the apparatus with dry goods, or even plants that may not require refrigeration. - The entire cooler unit apparatus is preferably of uniform construction and may be cast in metal, molded in plastic form, polystyrene, machined and welded, galvanized metal, or interfacing surfaces (e.g., cooler wall, cooler bottom, interior wall) are sealed with watertight resins or glues. Other preferable constructions include walls made from plastic reinforced polystyrene, and as used on most commercially available ice chests. Yet another preferable material would be of more flexible watertight fabrics as are used on commercially available expandable coolers. A typical example of this flexi fabric would be as used by the ice chest product sold under
Igloo® Soft 6™ mark, which has an impermeable nylon liner. - The
cooler unit 4 has a preferablecooler bottom 5 of a diameter of range of six (6) to forty-eight (48) inches, to accommodate most commercially available patio furniture. A preferable diameter of both thetop aperture 7 andbottom aperture 8 would be in the range of one (1) inch to seven (7) inches in diameter. The height of thecooler unit wall 6, from thecooler bottom 5 to the maximum height would be in the range of two (2) inches to twenty-four (24) inches. This invention discloses yet three (3) additional preferences wherein the mast passageway may be either (1) of the same height of the cooler unit wall; (2) where themast passageway 9 is taller that the maximum height of thecooler unit wall 6 and extends above the top of thecooler unit wall 6; and (3) a preference where themast passageway 9 is less than the maximum height of thecooler unit wall 6. Each of these preferences are desirable embodiments from the perspective of controlling leakage and condensation from thecooler unit 4. It is further disclosed that themast passageway 9 could preferably extend in the range of zero (0) to eight (8) inches above the maximumcooler wall 6 height and could be less in the range of zero (0) to four (4) inches beneath the maximum height of thecooler wall 6. -
FIG. 2 provides a three-dimensional view of an optional embodiment of the present invention, with the additional novel feature to include thecooler unit 4 being alid unit 13.
