Abstract:
A container for selectably changing the temperature of its contents by mixing two reactants, comprising:a container body having a material chamber for containing said contents; a thermic module connected to one end of said container body and extending at least partially into said container body, an opposite end of said container body having a container opening into said material cavity, said thermic module comprising an actuator, a piercing member movable between a retracted position and an extended position in response to a force experienced by a portion of said actuator, a breakable barrier, and two chambers for containing said reactants separated from one another by said breakable barrier, a distal end of said piercing member breaking said breakable barrier when said elongated member is in said extended position to allow mixing of said reactants; a lid mounted to said opposite end of said container body; heat-sensitive adhesive adhering said lid to said container body and having an adhesion strength decreasing with an increase in temperature; and said lid having a lid opening and a flange portion, and said flange portion is in substantial contact with a cylindrical portion of said opposite end of said container body, and said lid being rotatable with respect to said container body to align said lid opening with said container opening.
