The holder includes one or more support ridges, a pedestal, or other beverage container support means to support the bottom of the can or bottle above the holder bottom

A holder for a beverage container, typically a beverage can or a beverage bottle, to provide supplemental cooling to the beverage. The holder includes one or more support ridges, a pedestal, or other beverage container support means to support the bottom of the can or bottle above the holder bottom to create a space for an ice or an ice and water cooling medium. A sealing means between the holder and the beverage container permits the beverage container and the holder to be tipped for drinking without spilling the ice or ice and water used to provide the cooling. Various sealing means include a removable seal subassembly, a single piece gasket that fits on the holder, a seal ring, and a stretch membrane.

The modular belt of claim 7, wherein the angled face is planar. 9. The modular belt of claim 7, wherein the face on the cross-rib section is angled with respect to an axis extending from the center of a pivot rod opening to the bottom of the cross-rib section, the angle of the face relative to the axis being less than or equal to ninety degrees. 10. The modular belt of claim 7, further comprising a plurality of openings extending from a top surface to a bottom surface of the module. 11. The modular belt of claim 7, wherein adjacent cross-rib sections have faces disposed at substantially equal and opposite angles. 12. The modular belt of claim 7, further comprising stabilizing bars disposed transverse to the direction of belt travel. 13. A method of configuring a modular belt, comprising: providing a plurality of belt modules having a first plurality of link ends disposed in a direction of belt travel and having first pivot rod openings disposed transverse to the direction of belt travel; a second plurality of link ends extending in a direction opposite to the first plurality of link ends and having second pivot rod openings disposed transverse to the direction of belt travel, the second link ends being offset from the first link ends such that adjacently positioned belt modules are capable of intercalating so that the first link ends of one belt module fit into spaces defined between the second plurality of link ends of an adjacent belt module; and an intermediate section disposed along a centerline of the module and connecting the first plurality of link ends to the second plurality of link ends, the intermediate section having a first plurality of cross-rib sections facing in a first direction and having a second plurality of cross-rib sections facing in a second direction opposite the first direction, the cross-rib sections having an angled face that is capable of engaging with the teeth on a sprocket, the cross-rib sections disposed in alternating fashion on opposite sides of the centerline of the module; and placing pivot rods through the first and second pivot rod openings in adjacent belt modules such that the first and second link ends of the adjacent belt modules are intercalated and the adjacent belt modules are interlinked into adjacent hinged rows to form an endless belt capable of articulating about a drive sprocket. 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the angled face is planar. 15. The method of claim 13, wherein the face on the cross-rib section is angled with respect to an axis extending from the center of a pivot rod opening to the bottom of the cross-rib section, the angle of the face relative to the axis being less than or equal to ninety degrees. 16.
