Abstract: The consumer of any beverage will want to know the temperature of the beverage that she/he is consuming, there is no current drinking glass which displays the temperature of the liquid that the user is consuming. The present invention, “A glass with temperature indicator”, as shown in Fig. 1(Front view) and Fig. 2 (Top View), provides the user with a drinking glass which can also display the temperature of the liquid poured into it. The glass with temperature indicator includes a glass container, a thermal sensor is placed on the base of the glass, and it is connected to the temperature indicator by a connecting wire. As the liquid is poured into the glass, the sensor senses the temperature and sends an electric signal through the connecting wire to the temperature indicator which displays the temperature on a digital screen. This invention shows the exact temperature of the liquid in the glass to the consumer. This invention can be integrated with a receiver and a heater so the liquid in the container can be heated by switching on the heater using a remote device.

, Description:The features of the present invention can be better understood with reference to the detailed description and claims along with the accompanying drawings, wherein all the elements are identified.
Fig. 1 depicts the front view of the glass with temperature indicator (5) with an unfilled glass (1) in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
Fig. 2 depicts the top view of the glass with temperature indicator (5) with an unfilled glass (1) in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
The present invention relates to a glass with temperature indicator (5) to allow the consumer of the liquid in the glass to know the exact temperature of the liquid in the glass (1). Fig. 1 shows the front view of the detailed setting of the invention. It consists of a glass (1) which houses the thermal sensor (3) at its base on the inside, and it also houses the temperature indicator (2) on its outer surface which can be clearly seen in Fig. 2, which shows the top view of the glass with temperature indicator (5). The thermal sensor (3) and the temperature indicator (2) are connected to each other via the connecting wire (4).
The glass (1) container which holds the liquid is of a cylindrical shape which is closed on one end. The inner diameter of the cylinder is 25mm to 30mm and the outer diameter is 28mm to 35mm. The thickness of the cylinder is 3mm to 5mm. The material of the glass (1) can be made of glass, wood or metal. The metals used to make the container can be stainless steel, copper, brass.
The glass (1) houses the thermal sensor (3) in its base and a temperature indicator (2) on the outer surface of the glass (1). It also houses the connecting wire (4) which connects the thermal sensor (3) to the temperature indicator (2).
The temperature indicator (2) is a digital display with three digits, which shows the temperature in degree Celsius and degree Fahrenheit. It can be from a 5mmX10mm to 10mmX20mm dimension. It is made of a silicon chip and a LED display. It displays the temperature by converting the electric signal sent by the thermal sensor (3) to a digital display. The thermal indicator (2) can be placed anywhere on the glass (1).
The thermal sensor (3) can be 3mmX3mm to 10mmX10mm in dimension. It can be made of a thermocouple made of nickel-copper material. The thermal sensor (3) is placed at the base of the glass (1) on the inner surface of its base. This thermal sensor (3) senses the temperature of the liquid as soon as its poured into the glass (1). The thermocouple will generate an electrical signal whose intensity depends on the temperature of the liquid. If the temperature is more, the intensity of the signal generated is higher, and if the temperature is lower, the intensity of the electrical signal is smaller. This electrical signal is sent to the temperature indicator (2) through the connecting wire (4).
The connecting wire (4) integrates the thermal sensor (3) with the temperature indicator (2). The connecting wire (4) can be made of copper, aluminium and it is insulated with a polymer non-conductive material. The connecting wire (4) carries the electrical signal from thermal sensor (3) to the temperature indicator (2).
The glass with temperature indicator (5) can be used by the consumer of the liquid to determine the exact temperature of the liquid in the container, it can also be integrated with an electric heater so that as soon as the consumer sees that the temperature is less the heater can be turned on and the liquid can be heated up. The heater can be battery powered or can take the electricity supply from a socket. The heater can have a receiver which can receive a signal from a remote device and turn on the heater remotely.
