ABSTRACT:
A beverage apparatus (10) having a liquid holding member (12,14,16) with an operating apparatus (42) for performing a particular function, such as heating water to make a beverage, is selectively connected through an electronic switching device (36) to a source of electrical power (40) that is mounted to the liquid holding member (12,14, 16) to convey heat away from the electronic switching device (36) and into the liquid. A radiating heat sink with radiating member (45,47) protects the switching device against potential damaging physical contact is also connected to the switching device (36) and radiates heat generated by the device into the atmosphere for additional cooling of the switching device (36).
