An electric kettle system designed for particular use onboard passenger transportation vehicles. In many instances, hot beverages are brewed using a separate beverage maker system, but it may be desirable to maintain the warmth/heat of a kettle containing the hot beverage that is separate from the beverage maker system. The electric kettle system described provides a base and a carafe with a locking connection therebetween. The system incorporates a heater plate within the carafe, and the heater plate is activated when the carafe is positioned on the base.

An appliance (10) to heat a liquid, the appliance (10) including: a hollow body (16) providing a chamber (23) to receive the liquid, the body (16) having a bottom wall (17) and a side wall (18) extending upwardly from the bottom wall (17) so as to surround the chamber (23); an electrical resistance heater (27) fixed to the body (16) and to which electric power is delivered so that the heater (27) has a raised temperature to heat the liquid contained in the chamber (23); a switch (29), adjacent the heater (27), that receives electric power and delivers electric power to the heater (27), the switch (29) being mounted in the body (16) and located so that heat generated by the switch (29) can be delivered to the liquid via conduction; and wherein the switch (29) is mounted on the body (16) to inhibit heat transfer by conduction between the heater (27) and switch (29).

An electric kettle includes a power supply base and a kettle main body. The kettle main body has a container, a heater provided on the container, a water amount sensor that detects the amount of water in the container, a water temperature sensor that detects the current temperature of the water in the container, and a first display part that displays information on the amount of water detected by the water amount sensor. The power supply base has a power supply cable to be connected to a utility power supply, an operation part that receives a user operation concerning the desired temperature of the water, a power supply circuit that generates a driving power for the heater from an electric power supplied from the utility power supply, and a second display part 46 that displays the current temperature and the desired temperature in a time division manner. The kettle main body includes a battery that drives the water amount sensor and the first display part when the kettle main body is separated from the power supply base.

A liquid heating appliance for placement on an induction hob includes a liquid vessel, a ferromagnetic heating plate mounted within the vessel by a lifting mechanism, and a thermally sensitive actuator. The lifting mechanism is operable to move the ferromagnetic heating plate upwards within the vessel in response to the thermally sensitive actuator detecting that the heating plate exceeds a predefined temperature.

A tag for a consumer product is securely placed on the consumer product. The system including the tag and consumer product includes a container having a bottom surface, a handle, and a spout. The system also includes a tag including a first part and a second part, the first part configured to be attached to the bottom surface, the second part including a first end coupled to the first part and a second free end, the second free end of the second part including a handle hole configured to receive the handle.

An electric kettle may include a body formed in a cylindrical shape having an open upper surface and an open lower surface, the body defining a space in which fluid, such as water may be contained, an upper body mounted on an upper end of the body and communicating with the open upper surface of the body, a lid seated on the upper body to open and close the open upper surface of the body, a heating module inserted and mounted through the open lower surface of the body to partition an inside of the body vertically and heat fluid inside of the body, and a base on which the lower surface of the body is seated and which transfers power applied from outside to the heating module when the body is seated. The body may include an outer body forming an outer surface and an inner body forming an inner surface. The heating module may be mounted on the inner surface of the inner body.

An electric kettle may include a body made of a metal material, formed by an outer body and an inner body having a cylindrical shape with an open upper surface and an open lower surface, a heat insulation space being formed between the outer body and the inner body, a heating module configured to form a bottom of a space in which fluid, such as water may be contained inside of the body and heat the fluid, a mounting port that passes through the outer body and the inner body, a window made of a transparent material and mounted on the mounting port to allow an inside of the body to be viewed therethrough, and a gasket disposed along a circumference of the window to seal a gap between the inner body and the window. The window may be doubly sealed in contact with the outer body and the gasket.

An electric kettle may include a body formed by an outer body and an inner body having a cylindrical shape and an open upper surface and an open lower surface, a heat insulation space being formed between the outer body and the inner body, a lid configured to open or close the open upper surface of the body, a heating module configured to partition an inside of the inner body vertically and heat fluid, such as water inside of the inner body, a mounting portion which is formed on an inner surface of the inner body and on which the heating module is mounted, and a base on which a lower surface of the body is seated and which transfers power applied from outside to the heating module when the body is seated. The heating module may include a heating plate inserted through the open lower surface of the inner body and coupled to the mounting portion to form a bottom surface of the inner body, and a heater provided on a lower surface of the heating plate to generate heat.

An electric kettle may include a body made of stainless steel and having a cylindrical shape with an open upper surface and an open lower surface, a heating module configured to form a bottom of a space in which fluid, such as water is contained inside of the body and heat the fluid, a handle that protrudes from an upper portion of an outer surface of the body, and a base configured to support the body at a lower side and supply power to the heating module in a state in which the body is seated. The body may include an outer body configured to form the outer surface of the body, an inner body connected to the outer body inside of the outer body and configured to form a space in which fluid is contained, a heat insulation space between the outer body and the inner body, and at least one body hole opened in the lower surface of the body and configured to communicate with the heat insulation space.

An electric kettle may include a body configured to form a space in which liquid, such as water may be contained, a handle that protrudes from an outer surface of the body, a heating module provided inside of the body to heat liquid inside of the body, an operation portion provided in the handle to operate so as to control an operation of the heating module, and a main printed circuit board (PCB) provided inside of the handle to control the operation of the heating module according to an operation of the operation portion. The body may have a double wall structure including two walls spaced apart from each other, and an electric wire that connects the main PCB and the heating module may be guided from the handle to the heating module through a space between the two walls.
