ABSTRACT:
A timing pad for determining the amount of time used when consuming a beverage. The user places an object, such as a mug, glass, or bottle, onto the weight sensor area (2). The user then presses the reset button (4). The reset button (4) is connected to an internally located replaceable battery (14), which supplies power to the timer (7) and the weight sensor (8). The timer (7) and the weight sensor (8) are connected electrically to permit the timer (7) to begin running when user removes the object from the weight sensor area (2). When user places the object back onto the weight sensor area (2), the stop watch-like timer (7) stops running. The user may now remove the object to read his or her beverage consuming time in the timer display (1). The timing pad is particularly suited for beverage consumers desiring to know the precise amount of time it took to consume a beverage in comparison to others.
