A warming unit for warming a vessel for containing food or beverages, such as a coffee pot for an automatic drip coffee maker, reduces scorching and burning resulting from non-uniform heating of the vessel. The warming device has a support plate with an upper surface dimensioned to support the vessel and a perimeter skirt extending downwardly from a perimeter of the support plate to surround a heating element beneath the support plate. The upper surface includes raised support structures formed as dome-shaped structures thereon. The cooking vessel rests on and is supported by the top surfaces of the support structures in spaced relation to the plate thus creating a convection space which reduces thermal conductive heating and allows both convection heating and infrared heating. The support plate also comprises a thermal mass sufficient to dampen fluxuations of temperature at the upper surface. Vent holes through the top plate and perimeter skirt vent steam and vapors from underneath the support plate and facilitate convective warming of the vessel. An alternative embodiment may be constructed as an interface plate device with a flat plate dimensioned correspondingly to a hot plate of a conventional warming device for insertion between the hot plate and a cooking vessel.

The present invention relates generally to improvements in electrical heating units, and more particularly to improvements in electrical heating units of the type employing wafer-like material or sheets such as mica having an electrical heating coil associated therewith. The embodiment of the invention disclosed herein includes thin coplanar sheets of heat resistant, electrically non-conductive material such as mica, the outer peripheries of which in the aggregate generally define a circle. Diametral margins of said sheets are adjacently spaced and an electrical heating coil adjacently encircles said sheets. A terminal member is connected with each extremity of the coil, and suitable electrical insulating material adjacently superimposes opposite sides of the sheets. Means is provided for maintaining the sheets and insulating material in juxtaposition.

The object of this invention is the heating unit contained in electric coffee makers used to keep the coffee warm after it is brewed. This invention uses a scale or scale type mechanism to continuously measure the amount of coffee remaining in the carafe then continuously adjusts the temperature of the heating unit based on the amount of coffee remaining. This invention is designed to prevent or slow the degradation in the taste of coffee that results from over-cooking coffee through prolonged exposure to an excessive amount heat. The invention also includes calibration adjustments that permit fine-tuning of temperature to accommodate individual preferences and/or various types/brands of carafes.

A modular beverage brewing apparatus includes a frame having at least a first pair of inwardly directed flanges. A joiner plate is connected to the frame. The joiner plate and the pair of inwardly directed flanges define a first channel and a second channel therebetween so that the modular brewing apparatus is selectively engageable with a pair of inwardly directed flanges of a companion modular unit. An electrical connection is made between the modular beverage brewing apparatus and the companion modular unit. The electrical connection includes a first electrical power connection comprising an electrical output receptacle on the modular beverage brewing apparatus coupled to an electrical input receptacle on the companion modular unit for delivering electrical power from the modular brewing apparatus to the companion modular unit.
摘要:
A beverage making apparatus having an upper housing and a lower housing for heating cold water for making a beverage, such as coffee. The upper housing forms an upper compartment for providing ready access to the components of the water system and the electric circuit through a top access opening. The operative components of the water system and the electric circuit are mounted for the ease of removal for service and replacement of parts.

A plastic decanter and method of use having inward sloping side walls and a broad base construction which interfits with a concave-shaped warmer plate mounted in the warming deck of a conventional coffee brewing machine, the decanter receiving freshly brewed coffee from a brewing assembly with the decanter containing over half of the coffee mass below the horizontal midpoint permitting a reduction in the required heat to be generated by the warmer plate heating element for avoiding burning the coffee, while the sloping sidewalls, a closure lid and the tight interfit between the decanter and the warmer plate contribute to a reduction in the air convection heat losses for maintaining the coffee fresh for at least four hours, the plastic decanter being relatively unbreakable for eliminating a potential hazard while being utilized as a lightweight serving container.
摘要:
A beverage brewer structure wherein a warmer station is selectively utilizable separately or in mounted association with the beverage brewing apparatus. The brewing apparatus may include a removable cover which may be secured to the brewing apparatus by a suitable securing structure. When the warmer station is mounted to the brewing apparatus, the securing structure is utilized to jointly secure the warming station to the cover and the cover to the beverage brewing apparatus. When so installed, the securing structure is hidden within the warming station by a removable portion of the warming station.
