Insulated bottle with...

Insulated bottle In the USA (continued) The first insulated bottle was probably designed by the English scientist Sir James Dewar in 1896. In 1892, Dewar had invented a special flask that is still in use today and is attributed to him by his name. Dewar created his isothermal bottle by sealing one bottle inside another and pumping air between them. This created a vacuum, which is an effective insulator. Dewar never patented his invention, however. It was the German glass blower Reinhold Burger and his partner Albert Aschenbrenner, who made bottles for Dewar, who decided to market Dewar's invention. Burger and Aschenbrenner organised a competition to name Dewar's device. A Munich resident suggested the name thermos from the Greek word threm, which means hot. Together with Gustav von Paalen, Burger and Aschenbrenner formed a company to manufacture Dewar's invention and called it Thermos GmbH. 1904, THERMOS MARKETS THE FIRST ISOTHERMAL BOTTLE Paalen, Burger and Aschenbrenner only registered the now well-known name Thermos in 1906, the same year they met the American businessman William B. Walker in Berlin. Walker learned of their invention and obtained exclusive rights to manufacture and market it in the United States. The American Thermos Bottle Company was incorporated on 31 January 1907 in Portland, Maine, and established production in Brooklyn, New York. The Thermos insulated bottle quickly gained popularity in the United States. Famous users include President Taft; explorers Lieutenant EH Shackleton, who took his to the South Pole and Lieutenant Robert E. Peary, who took his to the Arctic; Colonel Roosevelt on an expedition to Mombasa; Richard Harding Davis on a trip to the African Congo; Count Zeppelin, who took his in his hot air balloon; and the Wright brothers in their aeroplane.

Insulated bottle In the United Kingdom 1892, the Dewar vase The Scottish chemist and physicist Sir James Dewar (1842-1923) was the first to produce liquid hydrogen, which was the coldest substance ever produced. To store this cryogenic material at very low temperatures, he constructed insulated boxes from cork, hay or crumpled newspapers, but none of these solutions held the liquids sufficiently. He then discovered and improved the Arsonval vessel. In 1892, he proposed his version of the double-walled glass vacuum flask that bears his name, the Dewar flask. It takes the form of a glass balloon with a straight neck. The narrow space between the two walls is almost entirely free of air, this partial vacuum prevents heat conduction and convection for better insulation. He added silver as a metallic coating to prevent radiation. This invention eliminates any possibility of heat transfer by conduction, convection or radiation. He hired a professional glass blower to make a stronger balloon. In 1898, he used this container to transport and introduce liquid hydrogen to the world.

Isothermal bottle with...

Isothermal bottle In the USA The first bottle and glass factory in the USA was founded in 1608 in Virginia. In the 1800s, new variations of the glass bottle appeared. The baby bottle, for example, was patented in 1841. However, the concept was not new. In ancient times, babies were fed with a bottle with two openings. One opening was used to pour the liquid into the bottle and the second opening was placed in the baby's mouth. The 16th century bottle looked like a duck; the baby was fed through its beak. Glassblower John L. Mason designed the first glass jar with a screw top in 1858, the now famous Mason jar. In the mid-19th century, Dr Hervey Thatcher invented the glass milk bottle. The Coca-Cola Company introduced the first soft drink bottle in 1915. Several other brands followed, each with its own distinctive bottle shape. The shape and weight of soft drink bottles were standardised after 1934", but standardisation is relative, as each brand differs in its design and increasingly in the contents of the bottle. "The bottle manufacturing" process was first automated in 1865 with the introduction of a press and blow machine. An isothermal bottle to personalize has become essential!

Insulated bottle with...

Insulated bottle History "The first known bottles made of glass were created by the Egyptians around 1500 BC. The bottles were formed by placing molten glass around a core of sand and clay. The core was then hollowed out once the glass had cooled. Making the bottles was a long and complicated process, so they were considered a luxury item in ancient Egypt. Around 200 BC, glass bottles were made in China and Persia, as well as in Egypt, using a method of blowing molten glass into a mould. The Romans later adopted the same method and the technique spread throughout Europe in the 1400s and 1500s. In France 1888, the Arsonval vase An important step was taken by the physicist Arsène d'Arsonval (1851-1940), one of the greatest French scientists. He invented a revolutionary container, the d'Arsonval vase. In 1888 he introduced the first double-walled glass bottle with an internal vacuum. Although we generally use the isothermal bottle to keep our drinks hot, it was originally designed to store liquid air at very low temperatures for several days. His colleague, the physicist Violle, improved it by coating the inner surface with a thin metal layer to reduce radiation losses. Thus was born the very first isothermal bottle in France. With a height of 40 cm and a diameter of 20 cm, this hemispherical vase is made up of a highly insulating silver double wall with an internal vacuum.

Insulated bottle with adult...

Isothermal bottle Foreword Practical and lightweight, the insulated bottle has revolutionised our consumption and is now as much a part of our daily lives as a handbag or a telephone. It allows you to take your favourite drink wherever you go and keep it at the right temperature all day long. It has evolved a lot over the years: weight, materials, user-friendliness and design. Introduction "Since the invention of the insulated bottle, the question has never been how to keep hot liquids hot and cold liquids cold". The big question is how it works. The answer is: by using foam or vacuum packaging. There is more to an insulated bottle than meets the eye. What we think of as a rigid container is actually a container within a container, with foam or vacuum between the inner wall of the outer container and the outer wall of the inner container. Foam containers keep cold liquids cold and vacuum containers keep hot liquids hot. This method has proven to be very effective since the early 20th century and that is why insulated bottles are popular with anyone who needs or wants to drink liquids on the go, such as athletes, travellers, campers and hikers, or just the average busy person who is thirsty from time to time and has prepared their hot or cold drink in advance. Many baby bottles are also insulated." An isothermal bottle to personalise is now essential! You will find it easily at Gifts-custopolis.com.

Stainless steel vacuum...

Stainless steel vacuum flask The stainless steel vacuum flask is still quite often called."Thermos" by a number of people."Thermos" is a term that has become a common name today in the Cambridge dictionary. It is the company Thermos L.L.C. that has registered and is registering the thermos trademark. It is thanks to Sir James Dewar, a chemist and physicist of his time, who discovered the production of liquid hydrogen and therefore imagined a vase to preserve the temperature of the product which later became a vacuum flask. Sir James Dewar made an insulating container, called "the Dewar Vase", to be able to confine liquid hydrogen at very low temperatures. The container has two glass walls, separated from the outside by a vacuum, in which the liquid hydrogen is placed at low temperature.This makes it possible to reduce the temperature loss in relation to the surrounding environment. To be able to observe the photo of the family dog, of its newborn grandson or of the beach where you have spent an unforgettable holiday is a unique privilege that you can obtain thanks to this vacuum flask that we customise for you. It is a unique gift for a birthday, Christmas party or retirement or simply when you want to bring your personal coffee to the office.

Clock with artwork

13th century.

Mechanical clocks began to develop. More than thirty testimonies are quoted from all over Europe at the end of the 13th century. In these texts we find the purchase of iron and weights and the acquisition of expensive clocks in monasteries, cathedrals and princely residences. These prices were often considerable: six marks for the clock of the monastery of Colmar in 1278, thirty pounds for that of Canterbury in 1292, fifty pounds for a simple repair or transformation of the clock of the cathedral of Sens in 1319.

Gradually, the mechanical clock, whose movement is permanently maintained by a motorised weight, replaced the boring water clock that had to be constantly cleaned and filled or emptied. It seems that these early clocks - like the water clocks - were first intended to strike a particular time (e.g. alarm clock) and a little later to strike different times of the day; these clocks were "blind": they had no dial! The striking mechanism was operated by one or more pins on a wheel of the mechanism.

This transfer of technology from hydraulic to mechanical power enabled the original purpose of the clock to be retained: the striking of a precise hour; this invention has therefore remained practically anonymous. It was not until a little later, in 1336, that an important innovation changed the history of clock-making: striking clocks.

Clock with Valentine's Day...

1271: An imminent invention

In 1941 Lynn Thorndike published a text of great importance for the history of mechanical clocks. This text - probably the earliest record of clocks, dated 13 April 1271 - concerns a commentary by Robert the Englishman, known as Robertus Anglicus, on The Sphere of Sacrobosco, which states in brief:

That a wheel which can turn uniformly over twenty-four hours (to give the equinoctial hours) has not yet been perfected;but that the researches of the clockmakers were going in that direction. Robertus then proposed a wheel driven by a weight (without mentioning the problem of accelerating the movement of this system).

This means that the mechanical clock was still in the research stage at that time. In simple terms, the year 1270 can be considered as the "earliest" date of this invention, which in scientific terms is called "terminus ante quem non".

"The switch to mechanical time did not translate into language", it did not lead to a change in terminology: the term horologium was simply retained, as for water clocks.

While the increasingly frequent references to "horologia" in parish registers suggest that a new technology was emerging at the time, the difficulty of interpretation is still at the forefront: are they hydraulic or mechanical "horologia"?

Clock with Father's Day...

The first mechanical clocks

The best historians of time measurement agree today that the origin of mechanical clocks dates back to the end of the 13th century.

The earliest references to clocks with a wheel or pendulum are from the 14th century, including those of Richard of Wallingford (abbot of St Alban), Charles V and the Duke of Burgundy.

At that time, hydraulic clocks were very common in monasteries and cathedrals. They were used to indicate a specific canonical time (liturgical offices dedicated to prayers) for the communities. These increasingly sophisticated machines were equipped with automatic alarm systems about which little is known today.

At the end of the Middle Ages, the first mechanical public clocks made it possible to indicate a uniform time throughout the year and to abandon the use of variable seasonal times. From then on, a division into twenty-four hours of equal duration, known as equinoctial hours, was adopted. Technical improvements soon led to the creation of a new corporation and the birth of a much sought-after profession, that of watchmaker.

The mechanical watch, whose exclusivity lasted for almost five centuries, was used until the end of the 1970s following the invention of the electronic watch.

History of the clock from its origins to the 16th century,

The origins

No mechanical clocks seem to exist before the fourteenth century, but several mentions in manuscript sources reveal some of the early history of the clock.

The Latin word horologium, horologia, derived from the Greek [ὡρα, time and λέγειν, to say], has been used since Roman antiquity to refer to all time-indicating devices, but the use of this word for all time-measuring instruments hides from us the true nature of their mechanisms.

The hydraulic clock

A hydraulic clock is an ancient type of clock, which tells the time by allowing a liquid in a container to flow through a small hole.

From the beginning, in ancient times, the liquid used was water, hence the name water clock. Later, mercury clocks could be found, especially in Arabic and Chinese writings, but this seems to be anecdotal.

The first hydraulic clocks evolved from the simple clepsydra (see the France 2 television game show), to which a more or less sophisticated time indication was added (essentially a graduated scale); over the centuries, we have encountered different types of hydraulic clocks, monumental or not, with sophistications to animate skits, for example, or to strike a precise time.
