Nu 6 - New Product - AC

Plug-it Tumbler

                Some thermal tumblers are made of plastic, while others are made of metal. Since they are thermal, they keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold. But what if you need your coffee until later, but no water dispenser is available, and your coffee is getting cold? A good example is travelling at night going to the province where convenience stores are scarce.
                Hopefully, appliance manufacturers could come up with an electric tumbler that can be reheated by just plugging. Perhaps a reheating "station" is required, one that could use a universal charger such as those of cellphones'.  Better yet, the electric components of the tumbler are all inside the bottom of the mug with only the charger slot exposed but is covered by an air-tight plastic seal with a rubber lining, similar to those of the underwater cameras'. This way, the mug is waterproof and is dishwasher safe. To add convenience and portability, the tumbler can be plugged into the car lighter slot.
                To prevent burns and scalding, the tumbler will automatically turn itself off after a certain period of time. The handle and the lid are all made of hard plastic that would not melt below the specific temperature that is enough to reheat the liquid inside. 3
