Abstract
A container and system for the mobile/portable heating of fluids is described. The container has an octahedral shape, including a pinched waist section. This pinched waist, along with the rounded corners at each edge of the octahedron, has a specific radius of curvature selected to maximize volumetric efficiency while still maintaining the ability to blow mold the container. One or more heating elements and attachment mechanism are also provided so that fluids in the container can be quickly and efficiently heated.
Claims12
A molded polymeric container for holding fluids, the container comprising:
- an octahedral shape including front and back facings, a top including a neck opening with a radius, a bottom, and two opposing sidewalls wherein each sidewall has symmetrical and angled panels that connect at a pinched waist;
- wherein the octahedral shape includes eight discrete but substantially similar rounded corners defined by a radius of curvature;
- wherein the pinched waist includes a radius of curvature that is substantially similar to a radius of curvature of the rounded corners;
- and
- wherein the pinched waist defines a transverse length that is between 60% to 80% of a transverse length across the front facing at separate positions above and below the pinched waist.
