Abstract
A bottle temperature control apparatus includes a main heat-generating band configured to wrap around a bottle. The band is provided with at least one heater, a temperature sensor, a controller configured to activate the heater when the temperature measured by the sensor drops below a predetermined temperature range and deactivate the heater when the temperature measured by the sensor rises above the predetermined temperature range. The band further includes an electrical connector for connection to a supplemental heat-generating band.
Claims20
A bottle temperature control apparatus comprising:
- (a) a heat-generating band configured to wrap around an exterior wall of a bottle and provided with a heater;
- (b) a temperature sensor mounted on the heat-generating band in contact with the exterior wall of the bottle for measuring the temperature of the liquid therein when the heat-generating band is wrapped around the exterior wall of the bottle;
- (c) a controller mounted on the heat-generating band and connected to the heater and the temperature sensor, and configured to activate the heater when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor drops below a predetermined temperature range and deactivate the heater when the temperature measured by the temperature sensor rises above the predetermined temperature range;
- and
- (d) an electrical connector coupled to the controller and adapted to be connected to a supplemental heater;
- (e) wherein the heat-generating band can be moved up or down or around the exterior wall of the bottle thereby moving the heater and the temperature sensor to a position where the liquid is located whether the bottle is oriented upright, sideway, or in an inverted and tilted feeding position.
