Abstract
A portable heating and cooling container for keeping retained liquids heated or cooled in the same compartment. An insulated vessel with a foam or vacuum insulating layer keeps the retained liquids at a consistent temperature for long periods of time. A heating component is attachable to an outside of an insulated vessel. The heating element is not used when the retained liquids are desired to be cool or cold. The heating component may penetrate either a double sidewall of the vessel housing or the vessel lid. A resistance heating element is retained within the insulated vessel to heat the retained liquid on demand as desired allowing for access to heated liquids remotely.
Claims17
A portable heating and cooling container comprising:
- an insulated vessel comprising a vessel housing and an insulated lid;
- and
- a heating component comprising a heating component housing attachable to an exterior of the vessel housing and a heating element extending laterally out of the heating component housing, through the vessel housing, and into an interior of the insulated vessel;
