Self-contained liquid dispenser with heating means

A portable liquid heating system for heating and dispensing a liquid, the system comprising:

• a self-contained dispensing unit comprising:
• a container portion with a main liquid reservoir for holding a supply of the liquid to be dispensed and a neck portion with an opening;
• a dispensing portion having a down tube with a flow conduit, a manually operated pump mechanism connected to the down tube, and an outlet spout connected to the pump mechanism, the pump mechanism having a pump mechanism liquid reservoir, whereby liquid in the main reservoir of the container portion is received by the down tube and pumped into the pump mechanism liquid reservoir and out of the outlet spout;
• and
• an electric heat generating portion positioned at the dispensing portion, whereby liquid pumped out of the main reservoir is heated before being dispensed through the outlet spout;
• a receiver for accepting the self-contained dispensing unit, the receiver providing a power source removably connectable to the electric heat generating portion;
• and
• a timer to discontinue providing power to the self-contained dispensing unit after said unit has not been removed from the receiver for a predetermined period of time.
