Abstract
A temperature control device for a container includes a base, a projection extending from the base and temperature control substance contained within an inner chamber of the projection. The base has a bottom wall, at least one side wall, and a top wall from which the projection extends. The projection includes a side wall, a bottom wall and a top wall which together define an inner chamber in which the temperature control substance is located. Preferably, the temperature control substance is one of a phase changing material or an activated carbon. The device is configured to connect with a bottom wall opening of a container to provide temperature control to the contents located within the container.
Claims18

- (a) A base having a bottom wall and at least one side wall, said base side wall having a progressively narrowing diameter from said bottom wall to an upper end of said at least one side wall;
- (b) A projection connected with and extending from said base, said projection including a side wall and a top wall defining an inner chamber, said base and projection configured for connection with a lower end opening of a drink container;
- and
- (c) A temperature control substance contained within said inner chamber.
A container, comprising:
- (a) a housing having a bottom wall containing a lower end opening, at least one side wall, and an open upper end defining a chamber;
- (b) a hollow projection arranged within said chamber and integral with said bottom wall;
- and
- (c) a temperature control device configured for connection with said container, including:
- i. a base having a bottom wall and at least one side wall, said base side wall having a progressively narrowing diameter from said bottom wall to an upper end of said at least one side wall;
- ii. a device projection connected with and extending from said base, said device projection including a side wall, a bottom wall and a top wall defining an inner chamber, said base and said device projection being configured for connection with said hollow projection via said lower end opening;
- and
- iii. a temperature control substance contained within said inner chamber.
