Abstract

The invention relates to an ice bucket ( 1 ) comprising: a base ( 2 ) for resting on a surface; a central body ( 3 ); a plurality of tanks ( 4 ), associable with said central body ( 3 ), adapted to contain ice and bottles to be refrigerated; means for the rotatable connection between said central body ( 3 ) and said base ( 2 ) to allow the rotation of said tanks ( 4 ) and selectively make said bottles available to a plurality of users.

Claims (25)

1. An ice bucket comprising:

a base configured to rest on a surface;

a central body;

a plurality of tanks, associable with said central body, adapted to contain ice and bottles to be refrigerated;

means for a rotatable connection between said central body and said base to allow rotation of said tanks and selectively make said bottles available to a plurality of users; and

means for reversible association, of a shape-coupling type, of said tanks to said central body, the reversible association means comprising:

channels uniformly distributed on said central body;

corresponding tracks, each provided on one of said tanks, wherein said channels and said tracks cooperate to keep the association of said tanks to said central body stable during the rotation of the central body on said base; and

a fork provided with elastic plates configured to fit simultaneously on said central body and said tanks so as to keep said tracks and said channels coupled to avoid escape of the tracks from the channels.

2. The ice bucket according to claim 1 , wherein said rotatable connection means further comprises at least one radial bearing interposed between said base and said central body.

3. The ice bucket according to claim 1 , wherein said tanks comprise a translucent or transparent plastic material.

4. An ice bucket comprising:

a base configured to rest on a surface;

a central body;

a plurality of tanks, associable with said central body, adapted to contain ice and bottles to be refrigerated;

means for rotatable connection between said central body and said base to allow rotation of said tanks and selectively make said bottles available to a plurality of users; and

a disc structure stably associated with said central body, comprising a plurality of radially extending arms, each said arm being configured to support one of said tanks, said arms comprising a housing for LEDs configured to backlight of said tanks.

5. The ice bucket according to claim 4 , further comprising an electrical power supply system for said LEDs comprising:

power supply batteries;

a switch; and

electrical connection cables.

6. The ice bucket according to claim 5 , wherein said central body comprises a cavity configured to house said power supply batteries and a closing door for said cavity.

7. The ice bucket according to claim 1 , further comprising:

accessory elements; and

corresponding fastening means of the accessory elements to a top of said central body.
