A thermally-controlled container for wet tissue, includes a first containing portion, a second containing portion, and a thermal element. A first fastening portion extends along an edge of the first containing portion. A first insulation layer is located on the first containing portion. The second containing portion is coupling to the first containing portion. A containing room is defined between the first containing portion and the second containing portion for receiving the wet tissue. A second fastening portion extends along an edge of the second containing portion to detachably engage with the first fastening portion. A second insulation layer is located on the second containing portion. The thermal element is used for heating the wet tissue.

A method for treating a food which is in an insulating encapsulation or casing or which will be introduced into same, by ohmic heating. The heating serves to treat sausage products in an intestine, such as Brhwurst (scalded sausage), hot dogs or similar food products. The food is brought into contact with spaced electrically conductive electrodes, wherein the electrodes are connected to a controllable power source. The electrodes are each in the form of at least one first and one second electrode group, wherein the electrode groups are at a distance A.sub.EG to one another. Each electrode group has a number of individual electrodes, similar to a comb-like set of needles, wherein the neighbouring individual electrodes of the comb-type set of needles are each at a distance A.sub.EE to one another. The respective comb-like set of needles penetrates the insulating encapsulation or the casing of the food.

Packaging for a food product has a box made from cardboard material with a base and a lid. The lid is fitted pivoting around a hinge fixed to the base. An electrically conducting foil is installed so as to separate the food product and the base. The lid is cut by a cutting line extending to define a central area and a peripheral area each arranged pivotally with respect to the base. The central area is inscribed inside the peripheral area. The central area is facing the electrically conducting foil and extends partly in a front side panel of the lid opposite the side panel supporting the hinge.

A disposable container for food or beverage has a resistive heating element and a temperature sensor, where electric power is applied to the heating element which generates heat used to warm the container and its contents. A processor monitors the container and content temperature using a signal from the temperature sensor, and controls the temperature of the container and content using a switch circuit, so that the temperature is raised to a preset level, and then the electrical power is removed from the heating element.

A food delivery system configured for transportation of a food product from a production site to a consumer site is disclosed having a chamber configured for housing a packaged ready-to-eat meal. The chamber defines an internal environment wherein the food product is received. The system also includes environmental temperature and humidity sensors associated with the chamber, one or more conditioning devices, associated with the chamber in such a way to condition one or more parameters of said internal environment, and a control unit, configured so that the parameters of the internal environment are continuously and adaptively adjusted so as to preserve the food product between the production site and the consumer site.

The invention relates to a lunchbox for storing, transporting and heating food, in particular food prepared for consumption. This should be easy to handle. The lunchbox comprises an upper shell (1) and a lower shell (2) which connected to one another in a hinged manner on one longitudinal side, wherein a closure is provided on the opposite longitudinal side. A shell having a circumferential and L-shaped angled edge region is arranged in the lower shell (2), which is assigned a thermal insulation and a heating element, wherein a groove for receiving a seal is formed in the circumferential edge region of the shell.

A device for warming jewelry includes a body structure forming a pouch for receiving the jewelry on a soft surface of the body. At least one flap of the body structure folds over the jewelry in a closed position of the pouch. A heating element inside the body structure is activated to warm the jewelry within the body structure. The body structure may have a single flap configuration or a dual or multi-flap configuration.

Heating unit is constructed according to the embodiments of invention to provide heating or warming features to maintain specific food temperature.

In addition, safety control unit is provided to either adjust or shut down the system should the value deviate from the range value.

The invention concerns a device (1) for mixing, storing and drinking a beverage comprising:a container body (2),a mixing device (23) positioned within the container body,a removable lid (3) comprising: at least two openings, one first opening (31) being configured as a beverage outlet, and one second opening (32) being configured as an air port, said second opening being positioned distant from the edge of the lid, a first member (41) configured for closing or opening the first opening (31) and movable between a first closing position and a second opening position, a second member (41) configured for closing or opening the second opening (32) and movable between a first closing position and a second opening position.

Apparatus for warming cloths in a portable box. The warming box includes a heater assembly with slots configured to receive multiple packages of cloths. The slots are defined by panels that have embedded heaters. Heaters are also positioned at the bottom of the slots. Two temperature switches control the heaters in order to maintain the temperature of the packages with specified limits. One temperature switch is positioned above the slots on an inside surface of the lid. The other switch is located at the bottom of one of the slots. The lid also includes a tilt switch that de-energizes the heaters when the lid is opened. The warming box has feet configured to mate with corresponding recesses in the lid, thereby making the boxes stackable, such as when used with a docking station. The docking station has a wiring harness that provides power to each warming box.
