. 1 The present invention relates to liquid 'conductor `heater structures, and more particularly to a container having a removable liquid heater adapted for use in warming nursing bottles or the like.
Liquid conductor heaters generally comprise a liquid container of insulating material having conducting electrodes in a portion thereof arranged tobe immersed in the contained liquid. A suitable electric current is applied to opposing pairs of the conductive electrodes to ca-use the electric current to be conducted from one electrodeto the otherthrough the conductive path established bythe contained liquid. The resistance of the conductive path causes the temperature of `the contained liquid to rise to a desired amount depending upon the variable factors such as theA applied potential, the area and spacing of therelectrodes, and the amount and kind of contained liquid.
.When using a liquid conductor heater structure as a nursing bottle warmer, the contained liquid is usually tap water. Tap water generally has a number of dissolved salts therein which, in theoperation of the liquid conductor heater, become deposited'ori the heater electrodes. The accumulation of deposited salts on the heater electrodes gradually forms an insulating coating which impairsthe eiiiciencyof the heater structure and reduces the current flow through the`conductive liquid to a value where insufficient heating action is obtained. It is therefore necessary to periodically replace or clean the electrode structures.
',Itfis an object ofthe present invention to provide an improved liquid. conductor heater structure in whichall of the'conductive elec-f trodes may be easily removed as aunit for cleaningor replacement.
' Another object of the invention'is to provide aA simpliiied assembly vof removable conductive electrodes for use in a liquidconductor heater structure.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide an improved arrangement for` automatical# ly r connecting a removably secured electrode structure. to the iixed electric power supply ter-Q'` minals of ay liquid v conductor heatercontainer When'the electrodeV structure is secured thereto;
A feature of the invention is the provision of a liquid heater including a liquid container of insulating material and a false A bottom assembly of .insulating material adapted tov be removably secured within the liquid container in a position overlying the bottom thereof, the rfalse bottom assembly including a pair of planar electrodes positioned generally parallel to the plane of the false bottom and spaced from each other.
Another feature of the invention is the ar rangement of a `pair of planar electrodes on the above-mentioned false bottom structure with the lower `electrode arranged to expose a portion of the upper electrode to which an electrical connection may be extended past the lower electrode.
Yet anotherl feature of the invention is the provision of a pair of resilient portions forautomatically establishing electrical connections between respective ones of a pair of electrodes carried by a removable false bottom structure and respective ones of a pair of fixed electric terminals on the inner bottom surface of a liquid conductor container in a manner to assure posi tive electrical connections. l f
A further feature of the invention is the novel arrangement for securing a conductive planar electrode to an insulating false bottom structure by means of an integral punched projection of the planar electrode, fthe projection being suitably retained inthe body of the false bottom structure.
Further objects, features and the attending advantages of the invention will be apparent from the Vfollowing speciiication' and drawings in which:
` Fig. 1 is an elevation View of the liquid conductor heater with a bottle in position to be warmed;
Fig. 2 is a top plan view;
Fig. 3 is a detail plan view of the underside of the removable false bottom and electrode structure;
Fig. 4 is a bottom view of the liquid container;
Fig; 5 is an exploded perspective view to show the assembly of the removable false bottom and liquid container; t
Fig. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary cross section on line E-S of Fig. 2; and
Figs. 7, 8 and 9 are fragmentary details of modified forms of the invention.
In practicing the invention, a liquid container of insulating material is provided with a pair of spaced electric power terminals on its inside bottom surface. A perforated false bottomr of insulating material is adapted to be removably secured on the inside bottom surface of the container. A pair of planar conductive electrodes having perforations therethrough are secured to i the underside of the false bottom to extend in a plane generally parallel to the false bottom in spaced positions with respect to each other. The lower electrode is arranged to expose a surface of the upper electrode to which an electrical connection may be extended past the lower electrode from the bottom surface of the container. The electrical connections are established by resilient connectors such as coil springs or depending projections of each electrode. The perforations in the false bottom `and planar electrodes enable the contained liquid to circulate between the electrodes for conducting an eleotric current therebetween. To assure the regisL try of the connections between the electrodes and terminals when the false bottom is assembled in the container, a plurality of projections are provided on the inner bottom surface of the container and they are adapted to be received in the plurality of peripheral `indentations of the false bottom thus determining the angular position `ofthe false bottom with respect to the bottom of the container and the electric terminals. In one form of the invention e'ach of the planar lelect'rodes vis secured to the false bottoni by upwardly extending integral projections that are embedded or Votherwise secured to the body of the false bottom.
For a more 'detailed description of the invention reference is made to 1 through 6 ofthe drawings. Tire noni-d container lo is formed of porcelain or other insulating material and is provided with a recessed portion I I on the underside of the bottom thereof. An electric line cord I2 is passed throughthe opening I3 in the sidewall of the container into the bottom recessed po n 'Il and respective conductors thereof oonriectdtothe electric terminals Il and l5. Terinal's IjllV and I5 are provided with upper contact surfaces I6 jan'd I1, respectively, which are received ,in `'suitable apertures on the upper Side of the bottoni portion of the container. A removable false bottom 'assembly ge orally 'shown at `|9 is varranged to be secured on the upper vsurface ofthe bottom portion of the container by means "o f the bolt 20 which may o' threaded into the pushing 2| that is scoured by the bolt 22 to the bottom surface of the con'- tz'ii'ier..r A j s nibre clearly shown in Figs.; 'ad 5 "ortho drawings, the removable false bottom I3, which is formed of insulating material similar to the material of the container In, is provided with a plurality of 'perforations 24 therethrough. A plurality of raised surfaces 2,5 are also provided and a nursing bottle such as "shown at 25 (Figl) may be hirestegd thereon for purposes o'f warming the bottle. The raised surfaces z serve to 'per mit the circulation of waterbeneath the bottle and vinto the e'rfo'r'ations 24 to fa central indentation 21 or the rolsooottom (rie. c).

The oottomsorraoe Vof the container includes a projection 41 z which extendsupwardly past the fo1eo'troo 31.* `'rico projeotionjql an opiiing th'ori in 'which the ooi1 `spring 133 is positioned toooke oiotfiooioonnootionbetween the electric terminal I6 and the portion 32 of the electrode 38 when the removable false bottom I9 is secured to the upper bottom surface of the container I0. A similar coil spring 34 is effective to establish connection with a portion 35 of the lower electrode 3|. In such manner, electric power from the line cord I2 is applied across the opposing surfaces of the conducting electrodes 30 and 3|. It will be noted that each of the conductive electrodes is provided with a plurality of perforations such as shown at 36, through which liquid may circulate when the container is filled with a suitable liquid such as tap water or the like. It should be apparent that `when the line cord I2 is connected to a source of suitable electric power, an electric current will be conducted through the liquid between the electrodes 30 and 3| to thereby heat the liquid due to the resistance of the conductive path therein. As shown in Fi'g. 6, each of 'the planar 4'electrodes 3D and `3| are supported in a plane gorie orally parallel to the plane of the fal'sebttorn I9 by means of integral punched upstadl' projections 29 and 3'| which are folded over "at 38 'and 3!! in suitable recesses on the upper side of the false bottom I9.
