Ergonomic:
Ergonomics is a crucial aspect of design, and a product should be tailored to fit the human body. This product is crafted to fit comfortably in user’s hands, making it easy to hold. To enhance comfort, two rubber grips have been added on both sides, preventing the thermos from slipping and minimizing the transfer of heat from the thermos to user’s palm. These features also contribute to the unique design of the thermos

Features of this design
This design has special and innovative features that can separate it from other similar products and can attract the attention of many users.
Stability
:
One of the major issues with regular thermoses is their instability; they can easily tip over with just a small push or bump when placed on a surface like a desk.
However, this design addresses that problem because there is a vacuum suction at the bottom of the thermos that makes the base stick to the surface, preventing it from tipping over and spilling its contents..
Non falling thermos
Tempreture Display:
Many people use thermoses and flasks to keep water warm during the cold winter days and cold during the hot summer days. However, maintaining the water temperature throughout the day can be challenging, and users often need to test the water physically to check its warmth.
This design addresses the issue with two triangles as indicators on the product that change color based on the water temperature. The triangles turn red when the water is warm and shift to blue as the water cools down.
The green color on the thermos display and charger indicates that the thermos is fully charged.
Wireless Charger:
This product features a wieless charger that connects to an adapter via a USB cable and can also serve as a coaster or a stand for the thermos which allows the users to connect the product to an app,offering a more enhanced and personalized experience
Different modes of use:
The cap can be used as a cup It can be used straight from the lead

App for locating:
Another unique feature of this product is its locator sensor, which helps users find the thermos if it gets lost. This feature works in a way that by pressing the white button located behind the wireless charger, the product emits a beep sound, making it easier to locate.
This feature is especially helpful for blind users, enhancing their experience. For everyone else, the locator function can be easier and accessed through the “TEMPRAPP” application.
In addition to the locator feature, the app offers several other functions, including tracking daily water intake as well as monitoring the temperature of the liquid in the thermos.
This is particularly useful for those who are health-conscious and want to manage their daily water consumption.
