BOTTLE WARMERS WITH ADAPTERS
A bottle warmer assembly incudes a base having a heating element, and a threaded portion which may be connected directly to a bottle or through an intermediary adapter. One or more seals may be used between the base and the bottle and adapter such that the bottle warmer is universal and may be used to heat any design and configuration of bottles.
Infant bottle and warming cover
An infant bottle is provided. The infant bottle comprises an open-top receptacle for receiving liquid, a nipple sealably connectable to the open-top end of the receptacle, a formula compartment disposed adjacent the open-top end of the receptacle, an open-top end of the formula compartment corresponding and fitted within the open-top end of the receptacle, and a formula release mechanism to empty the contents contained in the formula compartment into the receptacle. A removable warming cover substantially covering at least a portion of the outer surface of the receptacle and comprising a sleeve of material for receiving the receptacle, a base comprising a rechargeable battery, and a heating element operatively connected to the battery, is also provided. A method of using the same is also provided.
TEMPERATURE REGULATING APPARATUS
A temperature regulating apparatus according to the present invention includes an accommodating member configured to accommodate a target object for temperature regulation, and an air bubble generation section configured to generate air bubbles in the liquid contained in the accommodating member.
BEVERAGE AND FOOD TEMPERATURE REGULATION
A device (10) for food and/or beverage temperature regulation, comprising a cooling unit (11A) for providing a cooling mode in which the food and/or beverage is cooled, a heating unit (11B) for providing a heating mode in which the food and/or beverage is heated and a pre-heating mode in which the food and/or beverage is pre-heated, and a control unit (12) for controlling the cooling unit and the heating unit. The control unit (12) is arranged for activating the cooling mode or the heating mode in response to signals indicative of a change in the behavior of the recipient (30) of the food and/or beverage, and for activating the pre-heating mode in response to predicted behavior. The signals may represent sound and/or movement and may originate from sensor units (18), such as microphone units and/or radar units.
Heat transfer apparatus and container
A container for holding liquid is described. The container defines an inner region inside which liquid is adapted to be held and includes one or more walls for facilitating heating or cooling of the liquid therethrough, the one or more walls being adapted for invagination by a temperature control probe such that the temperature control probe extends into the container without directly contacting contents of the inner region of the container.
LIQUID CONTAINER AND MODULE FOR ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE OF LIQUID IN CONTAINER
A module for adjusting a temperature of a liquid in a container can include an elongate portion sized for insertion into the container, the elongate portion having an outer surface that contacts the liquid in the container about its circumference, the elongate portion housing therein one or more heating or cooling elements operable to facilitate heat transfer between at least a portion of the elongate portion and the liquid in the container. An adaptor attached to a proximal end of the elongate portion has a rim and a circumferential wall that have an outer circumference greater than an outer circumference of the elongate portion, the adaptor defining one or more passages between the circumferential wall and the outer surface of the elongate portion. The adaptor can be coupled to an opening of the container such that the elongate portion is suspended in the container and so that at least a portion of the elongate portion is submerged in the liquid in the container. The one or more passages allow the liquid to exit the vessel while the elongate portion is disposed in the container, allowing a user to consume the liquid in the container while the module is disposed in the container. A plurality of adaptors of varying sizes can be provided to allow use of the module with containers of varying sizes.
All 4 Babies
The portable infant bottle filler and warmer machine may make it much easier to prepare bottles of formula or breast milk when feeding babies. It may be used at home, in a hospital, and while traveling. The machine mixes the appropriate amount of formula and water based on the ounces needed for the baby, and once mixed, warms the liquid to the appropriate temperature for feeding. The machine may also be used to pump and manage breast milk production. Pumped breast milk is kept cool until ready for use, and is then warmed to the necessary temperature. Other items such as wipes may be warmed within the machine as well for the comfort of the baby.
Bottle sleeve warmer apparatus
A bottle sleeve warmer apparatus for conveniently heating a dental procedure water bottle includes a sleeve body having a front side separated from a rear side to form an inside. An attachment mechanism is coupled to the sleeve body and is configured to secure the sleeve body around a bottle. A control housing is coupled to the front side of the sleeve body. A temperature sensor is coupled to the rear side of the sleeve body and is configured to read the temperature of the bottle. A temperature display is coupled to the control housing to display a reading from the temperature sensor. A plurality of controls is coupled to the control housing and activates a heating element coupled within the inside of the sleeve body to maintain the temperature of the bottle at a preset level.
Warming apparatus including a heating element
A warming apparatus for warming contents of a foodstuff container includes an enclosure defining an interior space for receiving the foodstuff container and a reservoir separate from the interior space for receiving a warming liquid. A heating element is disposed within the enclosure for warming the warming liquid within the reservoir. A conduit is configured to extend between the interior space and the reservoir so that the reservoir is in fluid communication with the interior space. The heating element is adapted to move the warming liquid from the reservoir through the conduit into the interior space as the warming liquid within the reservoir is warmed.
Self-Warming Bottle Assembly
A self-warming bottle assembly includes a bottle that may contain a fluid. The bottle has a chamber that is fluidly discrete from an interior of the bottle. A warming media is positioned within the chamber. Thus, the warming media selectively warms the fluid in the bottle. A sleeve is removably positioned around the bottle and the sleeve may be manipulated. The sleeve inhibits the warming media from warming the fluid.
