Patent Images
1. A beverage bottle assembly comprising:
- a bottle, the bottle including a threaded opening at a top end;
an spout being received over the threaded opening at a proximal end and having (i) an internal passageway extending from the proximal end to a distal end thereof and (ii) a resistance heater proximate and extending along at least a substantial portion of the internal passageway;
a battery pack including one or more batteries; and
a control circuit, the control circuit including (a) an on/off switch, (b) a recharge port and (c) circuitry to control the charging of the one or more batteries;
wherein the resistance heater, the battery pack and the control circuit are operatively electrically connected.

Abstract
A bottle assembly is described having a battery-powered heated elongated spout. A heater embedded along the length of the spout is typically activated by a switch provided on the assembly. A LED indicator is also typically provided to indicate when the heater is activated. The LED can also function as a battery level indicator that changes color when the battery packs level of charge is depleted to a predetermined level. A charging port is provided through which the battery pack can be recharged using a suitable charger.
