from building up on the device indeed it is easy for a sponge or brush to be disposed between the planar portions 14 and 16 of the heat absorbing element 10 for cleaning as best shown in fig2 the handle 20 includes a protrusion 22 extending from an upper planar surface 32 of the support rim 30 although the shape of the protrusion 22 is shown as being semi circular it should be understood that the protrusion 22 may have a variety of different shapes at least one of the handle 20 and the support rim 30 are preferably formed of thermally non conductive material so that heat from the beverage 40 is not transferred through the handle 20 and support rim 30 to burn the user 39 s hand as best shown in fig4 the support rim 30 and the handle 20 may be formed integrally with one another in this case the support rim 30 and the handle 20 are preferably cast together as one piece of plastic the heat absorbing element 10 which may be made from a bent metal sheet is preferably fitted into the plastic piece soon after the plastic is cast or molded i e when the plastic is still soft prior to drying hardening thus the manufacturing process of the present embodiment includes 1 cutting and forming the thermally conductive heat absorbing element 10 2 preparing the u201c hat u201d or rim 30 and handle 20 assembly using a plastic injection mold having the shape of the rim 30 and handle 20 assembly and 3 assembling the rim 30 and handle assembly 20 with the heat absorbing element 10 alternatively.
