ABSTRACT:
A device for heating or cooling beverage containers, such as hot drinks or cold drinks, in a vehicle. A beverage container, such as a can of pop, is inserted into the device and its insertion activates the selected function, either heating or cooling. The beverage container may be inserted with one hand and removed with one hand, allowing it to be used safely by a driver. Heat transfer members within the device conform to the beverage container, and automatically adjust for different sizes of beverage container circumferences. The heat transfer members also automatically adjust themselves to accommodate varying top-to-bottom taper of beverage containers. A thermally conductive and pliable interface layer between the beverage container and the heat transfer members insures efficient heat transfer contact, and efficient heat transfer.
