Patent ID: 8783058

Claim:
A compact rapid liquid chilling device, comprising: a housing including a container securing space adapted to secure a container of liquid to be chilled to a desired temperature, said housing including a lid, closable around the container, having a window adapted to allow ice to be supplied to said container securing space; said container securing space dimensioned to receive a pre-measurable quantity of ice for a given container and maintain substantially all of the ice loosely and freely atop the container placed in said container securing space and at least partially in thermal communication with the container without allowing substantially any of the ice to fall below the container, said pre-measurable quantity of ice being sufficient to chill the liquid in the container to the desired temperature; an ice bin having side walls and an opening, said opening adapted to fit together with said window in said lid in communication with and thereby extending said container securing space, said ice bin adapted to allow the user to pre-measure the quantity of ice necessary to chill the contents of the container to a desired temperature; a rotating mechanism disposed in said housing in communication with said container securing space adapted to rotate a container placed in said container securing space, wherein as the ice melts to form water as the heat is extracted from the contents of the container, the water is allowed to fall freely below the container while un-melted ice remains above the container.
