Rechargeable temperature regulating device for controlling the temperature of a beverage or other object

A reusable, rechargeable temperature regulating device for altering the temperature of an object on which the device is positioned comprising:

• a jacket having a plurality of flexible compartments;
• a plurality of bendable connectors for interconnecting said compartments to form said jacket;
• each of said plurality of compartments having a flexible liquid filled inner chamber and a flexible atmospherically vented outer chamber therein;
• a temperature conditionable liquid in said liquid filled inner chamber of each of said compartments which will not become completely rigid when subjected to a predetermined temperature range below 32.degree. F. thereby enabling the inner chambers of said jacket formed by the interconnected compartments to conform with the surface of the object on which said jacket is positioned, even when the jacket is subjected to freezing temperatures before being applied on the object;
• and
• means including a flexible insulating means positioned in said outer chamber of each compartment and said atmospherically venting for producing a counter force on said inner chamber when said jacket is positioned on an object whose temperature is to be altered whereby said inner chambers of said jacket are firmly pressed into thermal contact with the object on which said jacket is positioned.
