Self-Contained Thermal Beverage System

Abstract

The present device is a self-contained system to cool a beverage quickly without any external mechanisms or support. The device comprises both the thermal system and a bladder holding a beverage. The device is received by the user, who activates it. A reaction occurs within the vessel, causing the contents of the bladder to rapidly change to a temperature that makes the beverage more enjoyable.

1 . A container, comprising:
 a vessel with a mouth,   a bladder residing within said vessel,   a liquid residing in said bladder, and   a thermal system residing within said vessel capable of changing the temperature of said liquid within said bladder.   
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said bladder is coupled to said vessel at said mouth. 
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 2 , wherein said bladder is coupled to said vessel by coupling a bladder aperture around the interior perimeter of said mouth. 
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 2 , wherein said bladder is coupled to said vessel by coupling a bladder aperture around the exterior perimeter of said mouth. 
     
     
         5 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said thermal system comprises a plurality of elements to cool said liquid in said bladder when said plurality of elements are combined. 
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 5 , wherein at least one of said plurality of elements is contained in a packaging within said vessel that separates at least one of said plurality of elements from the remaining said plurality of elements. 
     
     
         7 . The container of  claim 6 , wherein said thermal system activates when said at least one of said plurality of element is released from said packaging. 
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said container is constructed from non-toxic materials. 
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said thermal system cools said liquid. 
     
     
         10 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said thermal system heats said liquid. 
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 1 ,
 wherein said thermal system comprises a plurality of elements, and   wherein said thermal system activates when pressure is applied to said vessel.   
     
     
         12 . The container of  claim 11 , further comprising:
 a packet containing at least one of a plurality of elements,   wherein said packaging ruptures when said pressure is applied to said vessel, allowing said plurality of elements to combine.   
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said vessel is made of a durable and flexible material. 
     
     
         14 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said thermal system further comprises a thickening element. 
     
     
         15 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein said thermal system comprises:
 a thermal element,   an activation element, and   a packet containing at least one of said thermal element and said activation element, separating said activation element and said thermal element,   wherein said activation element will remain separated from said thermal element until an outside force is exerted on said packet.   
     
     
         16 . The container of  claim 15 , wherein said outside force causes said packet to rupture, causing said activation element to mix with said thermal element. 
     
     
         17 . The container of  claim 16 , wherein the combination of said activation element and said thermal element will cause an endothermic reaction. 
     
     
         18 . The container of  claim 16 , wherein the combination of said activation element and said thermal element will cause an exothermic reaction. 
     
     
         19 . A system for changing the temperature of a liquid, comprising:
 a vessel,   a bladder capable of holding said liquid, and   a thermal system comprising,   a thermal element, and   an activation element.   
     
     
         20 . A method for changing the temperature of a liquid, comprising:
 placing a thermal system in a vessel, said thermal system comprising an activation element and a thermal element,   placing a bladder in said vessel,   placing said liquid in said bladder, and   mixing said activation element and thermal element to produce a temperature changing reaction.
