Abstract

A rechargeable, portable and convenient carrying, heating and feeding system for heating baby food while away from the home comprises a first housing member capable of holding a first food container, such as a baby bottle, an energy source positioned adjacent the bottom portion of the first housing member, and a second housing member, capable of holding a second food container, such as a baby food jar, having a top surface positioned adjacent the energy source. A power switch having an “on” and “off” position is provided on the device such that upon activation of the power switch to the “on” position causes the energy source to heat food contained within the at least one of the first and second food containers positioned within at least one of the first and second housing members to a predetermined feeding temperature. The heating and feeding system can be used at any location without the need of an external energy source.

Claims

1. A portable heating and feeding system for heating baby food, said heating and feeding system comprising:

(a) a first housing member having a bottom portion, at least one sidewall portion and a top portion, said first housing member having a first predetermined size and shape capable of holding a first food container;

(b) a first opening in said first housing member for placing and removing such first food container;

(c) an energy source positioned adjacent said bottom portion of said first housing member;

(d) a second housing member having a bottom portion, at least one sidewall, and a top portion positioned adjacent said energy source, said second housing member having a second predetermined size and shape capable of holding a second food container;

(e) a second opening in said second housing member for placing and removing such second food container; and

(f) a power switch having an “

on” and

“

off”

position such that upon activation of said power switch to said “

on”

position causes said energy source to heat food contained within at least one of such first and second food containers positioned within at least one of said first and second housing members to a predetermined feeding temperature.

2. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 wherein said energy source is capable of simultaneously heating food contained within such first and second food containers upon activation thereof.

3. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 wherein said first opening comprises an open top portion of said first housing member and said system further includes a removable lid engageable with said open top portion of said first housing member.

4. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 wherein said first opening in said first housing member comprises an opening within said sidewall of said first housing member and a fastening means for sealing said first opening.

5. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 wherein said second opening in said second housing member comprises an opening within said sidewall of said second housing member and a fastening means for sealing said second opening.

6. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 wherein said first food container comprises a baby bottle.

7. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 wherein said second food container comprises a baby food jar.

8. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 wherein said energy source comprises at least one rechargeable battery.

9. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 further including an indicator light which is illuminated when said power switch is powered in an “

on”

position.

10. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 further including temperature control means for monitoring the temperature of said system and for powering said energy source “

off”

when a predetermined temperature has been achieved.

11. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 including a first pocket on at least one of said first and second housing members for holding a spoon.

12. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 11 including a second pocket on at least one of said first and second housing members for holding at least one of a bib and moistened cleaning items.

13. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 wherein said first and second housing members is formed from a flexible material capable of accommodating various shaped food containers.

14. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 wherein said first and second housing members is formed from a Thinsulate™

material.

15. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 including heating elements extending through said sidewalls of said first and second housing members.

16. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 including heating elements positioned adjacent an inside surface of said sidewalls of said first and second housing members.

17. A portable heating and feeding system as recited in claim 1 including attaching means for attaching said system to another article for hands free carrying of said system.
