Temperature Changing Device

Abstract

A temperature changing device includes a first tubular member having a top end and a bottom end. The second tubular member is fixed to the first tubular member. A second tubular member communicates with the first tubular member via an air receiving passage. An intake control device is arranged between the air receiving passage and the bottom end of the first tubular member.

1 . A temperature changing device, comprising:
 a first tubular member having a top end and a bottom end;   a second tubular member fixed to the first tubular member, the second tubular member communicating with the first tubular member via an air receiving passage; and   an intake control device arranged between the air receiving passage and the bottom end of the first tubular member.   
   
   
       2 . The temperature changing device of  claim 1 , wherein the intake control device includes a liquid receiving passage, the liquid receiving passage having an internal diameter smaller than an internal diameter of the first tubular member. 
   
   
       3 . The temperature changing device of  claim 2 , wherein the first tubular member has a mixing region proximate the liquid receiving passage and the air receiving passage. 
   
   
       4 . The temperature changing device of  claim 2 , wherein the intake control device is fixed to an inner surface of the first tubular member. 
   
   
       5 . The temperature changing device of  claim 2 , wherein the intake control device extends substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the first tubular member. 
   
   
       6 . The temperature changing device of  claim 2 , further comprising a valve moveable between an open position and a closed position, the valve substantially blocking the liquid receiving passage in the closed position. 
   
   
       7 . The temperature changing device of  claim 6 , wherein the valve extends into the air receiving passage. 
   
   
       8 . The temperature changing device of  claim 2 , wherein the intake control device includes a plurality of flaps extending substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the first tubular member, the flaps being moveable between an open position and a closed position. 
   
   
       9 . The temperature changing device of  claim 8 , wherein the flaps substantially rest on each other in the closed position and form the liquid receiving passage in the open position. 
   
   
       10 . The temperature changing device of  claim 1 , wherein the second tubular member is fixed to an outer surface of the first tubular member. 
   
   
       11 . The temperature changing device of  claim 10 , wherein the second tubular member has an open top end and a closed bottom end. 
   
   
       12 . The temperature changing device of  claim 1 , wherein the second tubular member is fixed to an inner surface of the first tubular member. 
   
   
       13 . The temperature changing device of  claim 1 , wherein a top end of the second tubular member is spaced from a top end of the first tubular member. 
   
   
       14 . The temperature changing device of  claim 1 , wherein the first tubular member has a continuous closed outer surface 
   
   
       15 . A method of changing a temperature of a liquid, comprising:
 inserting a bottom end of a first tubular member into the liquid;   applying suction to a top end of the first tubular member;   drawing the liquid through a liquid receiving passage in an intake control device toward the top end of the first tubular member;   drawing surrounding air through a second tubular member and through an air receiving passage communicating with the first tubular member; and   mixing the liquid with the air in a mixing region proximate the air receiving passage.   
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising opening the liquid receiving passage of the intake control device. 
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the liquid receiving passage has an internal diameter smaller than an internal diameter of the first tubular member. 
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the second tubular member is fixed to an outer surface of the first tubular member. 
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein the second tubular member is fixed to an inner surface of the first tubular member. 
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 15 , further comprising changing the temperature of the liquid prior to the liquid reaching the top end of the first tubular member.
