Abstract
A thermally insulated container comprising: a frusto-conical support base internally comprising a heat source with connection to an external electrical source, a flat support base, an elongated main body of circular section with thermally insulated walls with connectors arranged at the base of said body to electrically link a shielded electrical resistance; a plug with a shutter that acts as a closure of the main body mounted in the mouth of said body by means of a thread and comprising a safety pressure element. The thermally insulated container is particularly adequate for heating water to two temperature settings to be used to prepare mate beverage or to prepare other infusions. In a first embodiment the container holds 500cc of water and in another embodiment it holds one liter of water.
Claims17
An electric thermal container to hold a volume of water that heats and maintains temperature at two preset values, comprising:
- a main body with thermally insulated walls, a gripping element mounted on the main body, a plug with a shutter comprising a pouring spout and configured as a closure of the main body and mounted in the mouth of said main body by means of a thread;
- a light indicator that shows a heating status of the water contained in the container, a function selector push button and a double-walled lid that covers the plug and fits on an edge external of the mouth of the main body;
- wherein said plug with said shutter comprises a safety pressure element comprising a membrane that allows steam to be released and avoids water to escape from the container;
- wherein the container further comprises a support base containing a heating plate containing a heating electrical resistance with connection to an external electrical supply and said heating plate being exposed to the hollow interior of said container;
- wherein the heating electrical resistance is connected in series with a thermal protector and a thermal fuse, and wherein temperature control is managed by means of an electronics circuit board.
