Abstract:
1. A food chilling system ( 100 ) for helping keep food items and beverages cold, wherein the system ( 100 ) comprises: (a) a generally flexible circular base ( wherein each chilling component ( 130 ) comprises a shape of a segment of a circle divided by a plurality of straight lines with a first straight line drawn from a first originating point on a circumference of the circle through a center point of the circle to a first terminating point on the circumference of the circle, wherein each subsequent straight line is drawn from a next originating point on the circumference of the circle sequentially rotated from the first originating point through the center point of the circle to a next terminating point on the circumference of the circle, wherein the chilling component inside edge ( 131 ) is formed from an arcuately concave notch disposed at an intersecting point of the chilling component first edge ( 133 ) and the chilling component second edge ( 134 ) thereon, wherein each chilling component ( 130 ) comprises a chilling component length ( 150 ) from the chilling component inside edge ( 131 ) to the chilling component outside edge ( 132 ), wherein each chilling component ( 130 ) comprises a chilling component outside edge width ( 154 ) and a chilling component inside edge width ( 152 ), wherein each spacing component ( 140 ) comprises a second shape of a segment of the circle divided by a second plurality of straight lines with the first straight line drawn from the first originating point on the circumference of the circle through the center point of the circle to the first terminating point on the circumference of the circle, wherein each subsequent line is drawn from a next spacing component originating point on the circumference of the circle sequentially rotated from the first originating point through the center point of the circle to a next spacing component terminating point on the circumference of the circle, wherein the spacing component inside edge ( 141 ) is formed from an arcuately concave notch disposed at an intersecting point of the spacing component first edge ( 143 ) and the spacing component second edge ( 144 ) thereon, wherein each spacing component ( 140 ) comprises a spacing component length ( 151 ) from the spacing component inside edge ( 141 ) to the spacing component outside edge ( 142 ), wherein each spacing component ( 140 ) comprises a spacing component outside edge width ( 155 ) and a spacing component inside edge width ( 153 ), wherein the spacing component length ( 151 ) is equal to the chilling component length ( 150 ), wherein the spacing component inside edge width ( 153 ) is less than half the chilling component inside edge width ( 152 ), wherein the spacing component outside edge width ( 155 ) is less than half the chilling component outside edge width ( 154 ), wherein the chilling components ( 130 ) are disposed on the circular bottom alternatingly with the spacing components ( 140 ), wherein the chilling component inside edges ( 131 ) are disposed on a circular bottom component outer periphery ( 121 ), wherein the spacing component inside edges ( 141 ) are disposed on the circular bottom component outer periphery ( 121 ), (b) an elastic cord ( (c) a flexible, pliable outer shell ( wherein the serving container ( 101 ) is disposed on the bottom component ( 120 ) of the circular base ( 110 ), wherein the chilling components ( 130 ) and the spacing components ( 140 ) are interfacingly wrapped against a side wall of the serving container ( 101 ), wherein the chilling components ( 130 ) and the spacing components ( 140 ) are flexible and pliable to conform to the shape of the serving container ( 101 ) to provide maximum contact area between the chilling components ( 130 ) and the side wall of the serving container ( 101 ), wherein the chilling components ( 130 ) and the spacing components ( 140 ) of the circular base ( 110 ) are held into position securely against the side wall of the serving container ( 101 ) via the cord ( 180 ), wherein the shell ( 183 ) is placed over the serving container ( 101 ) and the circular base ( 110 ) and held into position via the cinchable opening.
