Abstract:
1. A device for chilling and dispensing a beverage from a bottle comprising: a mounting rail configured to attach to a bar top structure and having a top rail plate and a rail freezing and chilling mechanism under the top rail plate; and a dome configured to attach to the top rail plate and having a dome plate, interior storage tank and a dome freezing and chilling mechanism between the dome plate and the interior storage tank, the rail freezing and chilling mechanism and the dome freezing and chilling mechanism being configured to build a layer of frost on top of the top rail plate and along the dome plate from humidity of ambient air and the dome being configured to seat the bottle in an inverted position and chill and dispense the beverage from the interior storage tank; a plurality of domes; and a plurality of dome lights arranged around a base of each dome, the plurality of dome lights are configured to illuminate the layer of frost on the domes and the mounting rail; wherein the top rail plate and dome plate are made of a metal having a first thermal conductivity factor; and wherein the rail freezing and chilling mechanism includes: a first non-metallic thermal layer immediately below the top rail plate; a metal thermal conductor layer made of a metal with a second thermal conductivity factor greater than the first thermal conductivity factor below the first non-metallic thermal layer; a second non-metallic thermal layer below the metal thermal conductor layer; and at least one refrigerant line partially or fully embedded within the second non-metallic thermal layer, the at least one refrigerant line being configured to flow therethrough a refrigerant.
