System for maintaining desired heated or cooled beverage for extended duration

Abstract

A system for heating or cooling a liquid beverage and maintaining desired range of drinking temperature is described by utilizing a container having a concave shape for the body of the container, a converging neck portion with cylindrical chimney with threaded sleeve that receives a threaded closure for closing and sealing the cap. The type of threads or closing method in not novel nor claimed as part of the invention, but rather the combination of thinness between the front side of the container and rear side of the container, the height and width aspect ratio, the concave shape in conjunction with a complementing-shaped protective insulating and heat reflecting sleeve, and temporary heat source or cooling source. The shape of the container allows the liquid contents of the container to be rapidly heated or cooled, with the heated or cooled state retained for an optimal duration by application of the thermally insulative and thermally reflective sleeve, which includes as a benefit of the shape of the container and sleeve, a designed-in potential space for application of a precisely sized temporary heat source or cooling source which maintains the temperature of the contents of the container in a desired heated or cooled state.
