Patented July 28, 1942 UNITED STATES ATENT QFFICE DEVICE F OR WARMING AND RECONDI- TIONING BEER.

1 Claim.

This invention relates to a device designed for reconditioning stale beer, or beer which has become flat or too cold for immediate consumption.

An important object of the invention is to pro- Vide a device of this character which may be used primarily by bartenders, and one which is of the electrical portable type which may be readily and easily immersed in a glass of beer, by the bartender, thereby replacing the head on the beer, or tempering it to render the beer exceptionally palatable.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.

Referring to the drawing:

Figure 1 is a side elevational View of one section of the body portion, showing the heating member as positioned in the end thereof.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken on line 33 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is an end elevational view of the body portion.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the reference character 5 designates the body portion of the device which, in the present showing, is pistollike in formation, the body portion having a handle 6, by means of which the device may be gripped by the operator in using the device to accomplish the purpose of the invention.

The barrel of the device is indicated by the reference character I, and is formed with a longitudinal bore in which a porcelain insulating member 8 is positioned, the porcelain insulating member acting to insulate the wires 9 from the body portion. The wires 9 are embedded in the porcelain insulating member during the manufacture of the insulating member, and are in circuit at the handle end of the device, with a suitable source of electricity supply, through the cord H) which is supplied with the usual plug not shown, whereby the device may be plugged into the usual wall socket.

The wires 9 are of lengths to extend to the end of the barrel 1, as clearly shown by the drawing where they are in circuit with the socket I2.

The threaded socket indicated at I2, is secured to the outer end of the barrel 1, and is adapted to receive the threaded plug I3 of the heating member [4 which embodies a pair of wires constructed of resistance material, so that the heating member will become hot, under the action of the electric current passing through the wires M.

In order to maintain the wires clean, for im mersing in the beer, a cover indicated at [5 is provided.

The reference character Iii designates a switch which is in the circuit with the wires 9 and which is operated by the trigger IT, to the end that by operating the switch, the electric current may be controlled to the heating member.

In the use of the device, the switch member is operated to cause electricity to flow through the wires 9, to the heating member. As the heating member l4 becomes heated to a red hot condition, the heating member I4 is immersed in the beer to be treated. The heat from the member M will act to temper the beer, if it is too cold to drink, and if the beer is flat, the heat will tend to liven the beer and replace the head on the beer which has disappeared, owing to the beer becoming stale and flat.

What is claimed is:

An apparatus for treating liquid by submersion, comprising a body of pistol-like construction, electric wires extending through the body and terminating in a socket at one end of the body, said body including a handle extended at right angles with respect to the body, an electric plug adapted to be fitted in the socket, resistance wires extending from the plug and disposed in parallel relation with the handle, said resistance wires being in circuit with the wires extending through the body, and said resistance wires being formed into a loop at the free end thereof.
