摘要:
A pitcher is provided having a container body and a lid sealing assembly. The container body has a liquid retaining cavity. A pour aperture is fluidly associated with the cavity to allow liquid to be poured from the pitcher. The lid sealing assembly is removably connected to the container body. The lid sealing assembly has an actuation assembly having a push-button actuated actuator that operates a seal member. The actuator is moveable between a normal position and a use position. The seal member is positioned outside the cavity and adjacent the pour aperture. The seal member seals the pour aperture when the actuator is in the normal position and the seal member is moved from the pour aperture to open the pour aperture when the actuator is in the use position. When the seal member is moved from the pour aperture liquid can be poured from the pitcher.

A container is described for holding and dispensing chilled fluids for consumption by a user. The container may include a temperature indicating device configured to indicate whether a current temperature of liquid is at or below a first temperature value. The container may include a plurality of gradations configured to indicate a plurality of liquid levels in the enclosed chamber. Each pair of the plurality of liquid level gradations may have a corresponding volume. A plurality of caloric indicia may be displayed in conjunction with the plurality of gradations. Each caloric indicia may display a caloric energy value corresponding to heating one or more of the volumes of aqueous liquid from the first temperature value to a second temperature value. The container may be included in a kit with instructions directing a user in operation of the container, for example, as part of a diet or regimen of physical fitness.

A cooling element for use with a carafe that may be used for serving a consumable liquid such as wine. The cooling element can be inserted into the open, upper end of the carafe and the cooling element has as hollow tube that is filled with a cooling agent such as ice, and which extends downwardly into direct contact with the liquid contained within the carafe. There is a passageway that is formed between the cooling element and the carafe that allows the liquid to be poured out of the carafe without removing the cooling element from the carafe. The hollow tube is constructed of a material that has a high thermal conductivity, such as stainless steel, such that the heat exchange is efficient and the heat passes through a single thickness of the heat conductive material.

An apparatus and method for cooling a beverage, through the special design of a container for dispensing a beverage, is disclosed. The beverage remains cold for a period of time while it is inside the container, through contact with a frozen substance consumable substance with a lower temperature than the beverage. The frozen substance is substantially frozen before the beverage is introduced into the container. The beverage and the frozen substance make contact through portions of a barrier structure containing the frozen substance. As the frozen substance melts, it gradually mixes with the beverage, continuing to cool the beverage over a period of time, without ice floating to the top of the container.

A beverage chiller device for a serving pitcher has a lower stainless steel cylinder and an upper food-grade plastic sleeve. The upper end of the device is open to receive ice. A flexible strap attached onto the upper sleeve has a free end that can pass through a handle of the serving pitcher, with the lower end of the device immersed in the beverage and situated at a base of said pitcher. The flexible strap forms a closed loop that secures the chiller device to the serving pitcher. The flexible strap also permits the chiller device to pivot when the pitcher is tipped for pouring, so that the device remains more or less erect, and so meltwater does not pour out of the chiller device when the customer is pouring a drink from the pitcher. The flexible strap allows the stainless steel cylinder to drop down to the base of the pitcher, so the cylinder remains immersed in the beverage at the bottom of the pitcher.

A beverage container (11) comprising a body defining a receptacle, the receptacle having a pouring spout (15) and a handle (17) in opposed relation to the spout (15) to enable the jug (11) to be held such that it can be supported in both an upright and an inverted position, a partition (19) within the receptacle (11) defining a first space (21) having a closed lower end, and a plenum located against the internal face of the jug in opposed relation to the handle and having an opening at its lower end, a removable closure (29) at the lower end of the jug (11) adapted to close the lower end of the plenum.
摘要:
A liquid receptacle for rapidly lowering the temperature of a liquid contained therein to a warm range suitable for human contact and maintaining the liquid in the warm range for an extended period of time includes an inner vessel with an open upper end and a closed lower end and a wall connecting the upper and lower end. An insulated outer shell is spaced from the inner vessel to define an interstitial chamber between the inner vessel and the outer shell. A phase change material occupies the chamber and regeneratively absorbs thermal energy from the liquid to cool the liquid and then releases the thermal energy back to the liquid to maintain the temperature of the liquid.

The temperature-storing cup/pot structure mainly comprises a cup/pot and a seat. The bottom face of the cup/pot is disposed with a temperature-storing conducting element. A temperature-storing acting body of the seat is fixed by an insulating member and is pushed by a resilient member. The temperature-storing acting body should be preheated to a desired temperature and then is moved on the seat. The resilient member will make the temperature-storing acting body close contact with the temperature-storing conducting element of the cup/pot to keep the cup/pot hot or cold for a period of time. It does not need the plug. It has no electrical wire connection problem. And, it can be used for a hot or cold drink.
摘要:
A warmth keeping ceramic or porcelaneous vessel wherein a sealed airtight hollow chamber under a reduced pressure is formed between an inner vessel and outer vessel to keep contents warm. The hollow chamber is kept airtight under a reduced pressure by an enamel bonding the joint of the inner vessel and outer vessel or closing fine holes made in either of the inner vessel and outer vessel, after heating vessels to discharge the air in the hollow chamber through the joint or the fine holes.

The warming jug consists of a jacket (1) of several parts and a metal bottom (2). Parts of the jacket (1) are: an upper section (3) with a handle (15), an intermediate ring (5) and a closing ring (7). The metal bottom (2) is arranged in a circular groove (10) between the closing ring (7) and the intermediate ring (5). To ensure tightness, an additional seal (13) is arranged between the border of the bottom (6) and the intermediate ring (5) or the closing ring (7). The jacket parts (3, 5 and 7) are made of synthetic and are bonded together to one unit.
