Freezable Gel Pack Assembly

Abstract

A freezable gel pack assembly for enhancing freshness of a food product includes a basket that is comprised of a plurality of intersecting members such that the basket can be positioned around a food bowl. A plurality of gel packs is each integrated into the basket and each of the plurality of gel packs abuts the food bowl when the food bowl is positioned in the basket. Each of the plurality of gel packs is comprised of a thermally conductive material thereby facilitating the plurality of gel packs to be frozen. In this way the plurality of gel packs can cool the bowl when the bowl is positioned in the basket.

         2 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of intersecting members includes a series of bottom members that radiate outwardly from a central connection point, each of said series of bottom members having a distal end with respect to said central connection point, each of said series of bottom members having a curve located adjacent to said distal end wherein said series of bottom members is configured to conform to curvature of the food bowl. 
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of intersecting members including a series of horizontal members, each of said series of horizontal members having a first end and a second end, said series of horizontal members being arranged into a top row and a bottom row. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 3 , wherein:
 each of said plurality of gel packs comprises a pouch having a front wall, a back wall and an outer wall extending between said front wall and said back wall, said outer wall having a top side, a bottom side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side, each of said first lateral side and said second lateral side angling inwardly between said top side and said bottom side such that said pouch has a trapezoidal shape; and   each of said first end and said second end of each of said plurality of horizontal members associated with said basket being attached to a respective one of a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said outer wall of said pouch associated with a respective pair of said gel packs.   
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein:
 said basket includes a plurality bottom members each radiating outwardly from a central connection point, each of said bottom members having a distal end; and   said distal end of each of said bottom members being attached to said bottom side of said outer wall of said pouch associated with a respective one of said gel packs such that said plurality of gel packs is arranged to for a ring having said front wall of said pouch being directed toward said central connection point of said basket, said outer wall being comprised of a thermally conductive material wherein said pouch is configured to be in thermal communication with the food bowl when the food bowl is positioned in said basket.   
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein each of said gel packs includes a gel being contained within said pouch, said gel being comprised of a thermally conductive material thereby facilitating said gel to be frozen, said gel being in thermal communication with said pouch thereby facilitating said gel to lower the temperature of said pouch wherein said pouch is configured to cool the food bowl when the food bowl is positioned in said basket. 
     
     
         7 . A freezable gel pack assembly being positionable around a food bowl thereby facilitating a food product in the food bowl to be cooled, said assembly comprising:
 a basket being comprised of a plurality of intersecting members wherein said basket is configured to be positioned around a food bowl, said plurality of intersecting members including a series of bottom members that radiate outwardly from a central connection point, each of said series of bottom members having a distal end with respect to said central connection point, each of said series of bottom members having a curve located adjacent to said distal end wherein said series of bottom members is configured to conform to curvature of the food bowl, said plurality of intersecting members including a series of horizontal members, each of said series of horizontal members having a first end and a second end, said series of horizontal members being arranged into a top row and a bottom row; and   a plurality of gel packs, each of said plurality of gel packs being integrated into said basket wherein each of said plurality of gel packs is configured to abut the food bowl when the food bowl is positioned in said basket, each of said plurality of gel packs being comprised of a thermally conductive material thereby facilitating said plurality of gel packs to be frozen wherein said plurality of gel packs is configured to cool the bowl when the bowl is positioned in said basket, each of said plurality of gel packs comprising:
 a pouch having a front wall, a back wall and an outer wall extending between said front wall and said back wall, said outer wall having a top side, a bottom side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side, each of said first lateral side and said second lateral side angling inwardly between said top side and said bottom side such that said pouch has a trapezoidal shape, each of said first end and said second end of each of said plurality of horizontal members associated with said basket being attached to a respective one of a first lateral side and a second lateral side of said outer wall of said pouch associated with a respective pair of said gel packs, said distal end of each of said bottom members being attached to said bottom side of said outer wall of said pouch associated with a respective one of said gel packs such that said plurality of gel packs is arranged to for a ring having said front wall of said pouch being directed toward said central connection point of said basket, said outer wall being comprised of a thermally conductive material wherein said pouch is configured to be in thermal communication with the food bowl when the food bowl is positioned in said basket; and 
 a gel being contained within said pouch, said gel being comprised of a thermally conductive material thereby facilitating said gel to be frozen, said gel being in thermal communication with said pouch thereby facilitating said gel to lower the temperature of said pouch wherein said pouch is configured to cool the food bowl when the food bowl is positioned in said basket. 
   
     
     
         8 . The assembly according to  claim 7 , wherein said outer wall of said pouch associated with each of said gel packs has a plurality of perpendicular sides such that said pouch associated with each of said gel packs has a rectangular shape.
