Portable warming apparatus for a cup

Details

Inventors: Burrell, Alona R.;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Green; Randall L.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A portable apparatus for warming a cup and its contents has a fuel reservoir connected through a valve controlled by a snap switch to a combustion cage. A thermocouple under the combustion cage returns the snap switch to an "OFF" position, cutting off the flow of fuel, once a predetermined temperature has been reached.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It has been found that these and other objects of the invention may be obtained by an apparatus for heating the contents of a vessel such as cup containing a beverage comprising: a housing with an upper surface adapted to support and transmit heat to said vessel, burner means within said housing, a fuel reservoir connected to said burner, ignition means for said burner, valve means to control flow of fuel from said reservoir to said burner, switch means to control said valve means, and thermocouple means connected to said switch means such that said thermocouple means, upon sensing a predetermined temperature, moves the switch to close the valve and thereby shuts off the flow of fuel from said reservoir to said burner.
