1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a beverage container and more particularly to a portable barrel for containing beverage.
2. Description of Related Art
The conventional beverage container is made of metal to allow the beverage in the beverage container to be rapidly cooled down. If the conventional beverage container is put under direct exposure to the sun or in an outdoor area, the conventional metal beverage container also absorbs the heat of the sun very quickly and causes the temperature of the beverage to rise quickly.
To overcome the shortcomings of the conventional beverage container, the present invention provides a portable barrel for containing beverage to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
The main objective of the present invention is to provide a portable barrel for containing beverage including a barrel body, an inner tank, a barrel lid and an adjusting tray. The barrel body has a receiving recess. The inner tank is mounted in the receiving recess of the barrel body and has a tank body and a pouring cap mounted on the tank body. The barrel lid is mounted on the barrel body and covers the pouring cap of the inner tank. The adjusting tray is mounted on the barrel lid and connects with the inner tank.
The barrel body and the barrel lid can keep the inner tank cooled for a long time. The adjusting tray can be rotated to move upward, such that a channel is formed between the pouring cap and the adjusting tray to easily pour the beverage out from the inner tank.
Other objects, advantages, and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.

The connecting portion 222 is cylindrical, is connected around the bottom edge of the barrel portion 221, and has a bottom corner, a bottom edge and multiple water outlets 2220 formed around the bottom corner of the connecting portion 222. A diameter of the connecting portion 222 is smaller than a diameter of the barrel portion 221. The connecting portion 222 of the pouring cap 22 is mounted in the tank opening 211.
The neck portion 223 is cylindrical, is connected around the bottom edge of the connecting portion 222, and has an inner periphery and a second threaded surface 2230 protruding from the inner periphery of the neck portion 223 and extending downward into the tank body 21. A diameter of the neck portion 223 is smaller than the diameter of the connecting portion 222.
The enlargement portion 224 is connected around the top edge of the barrel portion 221 and has a top edge and an abutment edge 2240 horizontally protruding around the top edge of the enlargement portion 224.

The engaging ring 32 is screwed with the assembling hole 311 and has a through hole 321 and a ring flange 322. The through hole 321 is formed at the center of the engaging ring 32 and has an inner periphery. The ring flange 322 protrudes from the inner periphery of the through hole 321 and abuts the abutment edge 2240 to ensure the pouring cap 22 is fixed with the tank body 21. An inner diameter of the ring flange 322 is equal to an inner diameter of the enlargement portion 224.
The adjusting tray 40 is mounted on the barrel lid 30, is connected with the pouring cap 22, and includes an assembling portion 41, a tray portion 42 and multiple pushing boards 43. The assembling portion 41 is cylindrically tapered and has a leakproof portion 411, a seal ring 412, a screwing portion 413, a tubular portion 414, an abutment flange 415, multiple notches 416, a mounting hole 417 and a screwing surface 418.
The leakproof portion 411 protrudes from a middle segment of the assembling portion 41 and has a bottom edge and an annular recess 4110 formed around an outer periphery of the leakproof portion 411. An outer diameter of the leakproof portion 411 is equal to an inner diameter of the enlargement portion 224. The seal ring 412 is mounted in the annular recess 4110.
The screwing portion 413 is connected around the bottom edge of the leakproof portion 411 and has an inner periphery, an outer periphery and multiple screw threads formed around the outer periphery of the screwing portion 413. The screwing portion 413 of the adjusting tray 40 is screwed with the first threaded surface 2210 of the pouring cap 22.
The tubular portion 414 protrudes from the inner periphery of the screwing portion 413 and extends downward. The abutment flange 415 is formed on the inner periphery of the screwing portion 413 and located adjacent to the tubular portion 414. The notches 416 are formed around a bottom side of tubular portion 414 at intervals. The mounting hole 417 is formed longitudinally through the assembling portion 41. The screwing surface 418 is formed inside of the mounting hole 417 and located adjacent to the leakproof portion 411.
The tray portion 42 is integratedly formed around a top segment of the assembling portion 41, is located above the leakproof portion 411, and has a tray recess 421 formed around the assembling portion 41. The pushing boards 43 are arranged around the tray recess 421 at equal intervals and are connected with the tray portion 42 and the assembling portion 41.
The adjusting tray 40 can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise by pushing the pushing boards 43 to be screwed with the pouring cap 22 until the leakproof portion 411 and the seal ring 412 abut the enlargement portion 224 of the pouring cap 22.

Because the barrel body 10 and the barrel lid 30 are made of heat-insulation material and the inner tank 20 is made of metal, the beverage stored inside the inner tank 20 can keep cooled for a long time. In an indoor area, the inner tank 20 can be stored in a refrigerator to keep cooled. In an outdoor area, the inner tank 20 can be held in the barrel body 10 to insulate high temperature from outdoor area and to prolong the preservation time. The inner tank 20 can also be refilled whenever needed, be removed from the barrel body 10, and be stored in a refrigerator.
