Abstract:
The present invention relates to an ice formation device that can be used to form and store ice and ice cubes. The ice formation device includes an outer bucket, a cylinder, and a lid. The cylinder is sized to snugly fit within the outer bucket to form a water tight seal with the outer bucket. The outer bucket has channels and pockets that are filled with water when the cylinder is inserted into the outer bucket, and the water is frozen to form ice/ice cubes. The cylinder can be re-inserted into the outer bucket after ice is formed and stored in the outer bucket, to allow for subsequent ice formation when the outer bucket contains ice cubes that have been released from the outer bucket's channels and pockets. The ice formation device can also be used as an ice bucket for chilling a bottle or other items that can be placed inside the cylinder once ice has been formed between the cylinder and the outer bucket.

Claim (Index 7):
The ice formation and storage device of  claim 1 , wherein the outer bucket has an upper, raised block having a channel in it;\n wherein the channel is connected to other channels in the outer bucket and configured to allow air to escape as the channels and pockets of the outer bucket are filled with water when the cylinder is inserted into the outer bucket.
