Radiant liquid heating container

Abstract

A radiant liquid heating device includes a container for holding a liquid. The container includes an opening for dispensing the fluid and a closed bottom. A base member is mounted relative to the closed bottom. The base member is spaced a predetermined distance relative to the closed bottom to provide an air gap therebetween. The base member is exposed to a heat source wherein the base member shields the bottom of the container from being in direct contact with the heat source to provide a source of radiant heat for maintaining a liquid disposed within the container at a predetermined temperature.

1 . A radiant liquid heating container comprising:
 a container for holding a liquid, said container including an opening for dispensing the fluid and a closed bottom; and   a base member adapted to be mounted relative to the closed bottom, said base member being spaced a predetermined distance relative to said closed bottom to provide an air gap therebetween;   said base member being adapted to be exposed to a heat source wherein the base member shields the bottom of the container from being in direct contact with the heat source to provide a source of radiant heat for maintain a liquid disposed within said container at a predetermined temperature.   
   
   
       2 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 1 , wherein the container is constructed of glass and the base member is constructed of aluminum. 
   
   
       3 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 1 , wherein an interior surface of said base member is coated with a non-reflecting surface for enhancing the transmission of radiant heat transmitted to the container. 
   
   
       4 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 3 , wherein the non-reflecting surface is black paint. 
   
   
       5 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 1 , wherein the base member is sealed relative to the container for forming a water proof and air tight gap disposed between the closed bottom of the container and an interior surface of the base member. 
   
   
       6 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 5 , wherein the seal is constructed of plastic. 
   
   
       7 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 5 , wherein the seal is a silicone seal. 
   
   
       8 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 1 , wherein the base member includes an outer circumferential surface for engaging an outer circumferential surface of the container at a predetermined point, said predetermined point being displaced upwardly from a bottom portion of the base member to prevent spot heating of a liquid disposed within the container. 
   
   
       9 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 1 , wherein said base member is removably mounted relative to said container to permit removal of the base member from the container for cleaning. 
   
   
       10 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 1 , and further including spacer members being disposed between said base member and said container for maintaining the gap therebetween. 
   
   
       11 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 1 , wherein the container is constructed of metal and the base member is constructed of metal. 
   
   
       12 . A radiant liquid heating container comprising:
 a container including an opening for dispensing a liquid and a closed bottom; and   a base member mounted relative to the closed bottom, said base member being spaced a predetermined distance relative to said closed bottom to provide an air gap therebetween;   said base member being exposed to a heat source wherein the base member shields the bottom of the container from being in direct contact with the heat source to provide a source of radiant heat for maintain a liquid disposed within said container at a predetermined temperature without burning the liquid.   
   
   
       13 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 12 , wherein the container is constructed of glass and the base member is constructed of aluminum. 
   
   
       14 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 12 , wherein an interior surface of said base member is coated with a non-reflecting surface for enhancing the transmission of radiant heat transmitted to the container. 
   
   
       15 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 14 , wherein the non-reflecting surface is black paint. 
   
   
       16 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 12 , wherein the base member is sealed relative to the container for forming a water proof and air tight gap disposed between the closed bottom of the container and an interior surface of the base member. 
   
   
       17 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 16 , wherein the seal is constructed of plastic. 
   
   
       18 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 16 , wherein the seal is a silicone seal. 
   
   
       19 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 12 , wherein the base member includes an outer circumferential surface for engaging an outer circumferential surface of the container at a predetermined point, said predetermined point being displaced upwardly from a bottom portion of the base member to prevent spot heating of a liquid disposed within the container. 
   
   
       20 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 12 , wherein said base member is removably mounted relative to said container to permit removal of the base member from the container for cleaning. 
   
   
       21 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 12 , and further including spacer members being disposed between said base member and said container for maintaining the gap therebetween. 
   
   
       22 . The radiant liquid heating container according to  claim 12 , wherein the container is constructed of metal and the base member is constructed of metal.
