Abstract
An apparatus for modifying the temperature of bottle contents comprises a housing having an interior volume, and a housing opening through which the bottle and a fluid can be introduced to the interior volume. The fluid may be hot water, and the apparatus used as a baby bottle warmer. An insert can be used to receive the bottle, the insert having a plurality of apertures through which the fluid contacts the bottle.
Claims17
An apparatus for modifying the temperature of bottle contents within a bottle using a fluid, the apparatus comprising:
- a housing, the housing enclosing an interior volume which receives the fluid, the housing having a housing opening;
- an insert, located within the interior volume and sized to receive the bottle, the bottle being passed through the housing opening into the interior volume, the insert having a plurality of apertures therein so as to allow fluid within the interior volume to contact the bottle;
- and
- a sealing mechanism, the sealing mechanism preventing escape of the fluid from the interior volume when the bottle is received by the insert.
An apparatus for modifying the temperature of bottle contents within a bottle using a hot fluid, the apparatus comprising:
- a housing, the housing enclosing an interior volume which receives the fluid, the housing having a housing opening;
- and
- a sealing mechanism, the sealing mechanism preventing escape of the fluid from the interior volume when the bottle is received by the housing opening,
- wherein the hot fluid is introduced into the interior volume, the housing opening slideably receiving the bottle so that the bottle is in contact with the hot fluid, the housing then being shakeable to promote heat transfer from the hot fluid to the bottle without fluid loss from the interior volume.
A method of changing the temperature of bottle contents within a bottle using a fluid, the fluid having a different temperature to the bottle contents, the method comprising:
- providing a housing having an interior volume, the housing having a housing opening, the interior volume containing the fluid;
- providing an insert within the interior volume, the insert having a plurality of apertures;
- passing at least part of the bottle through the housing opening, the bottle being received by the insert so that the bottle is in contact with the fluid through the plurality of apertures in the insert;
- sealing the interior volume so as to prevent escape of the fluid;
- and
- agitating the housing so to change the temperature of the bottle contents.
