A thermoelectric stirrer for cooling a substance includes a housing formed of thermoelectric material for absorbing heat from the substance and includes a conduit 38 between an input port 18 and an output port 20. A fan 36 is positioned adjacent the input port and is adapted to draw air into the conduit. The air carries heat absorbed by the housing through the output port. A switch 26 is provided for selectively controlling power to the stirrer. A clip 22 is provided to engage the rim of a container and another clip 58 is provided to secure the stirrer to the clothing of a user.

1. A thermoelectric cooling stirrer for cooling a substance, said thermoelectric cooling stirrer comprising:a) a housing formed of a thermoelectric device for absorbing heat from the substance in which the stirrer is positioned, said housing being rectangular in cross section with a flat center wall joining first and second walls in an H-shaped configuration and having third and fourth walls parallel to and on opposite sides of said center wall, said first, second, third and fourth walls forming said rectangular cross section, and said third and fourth walls spaced from said center wall to form first and second air passages on opposite sides of said center wall; b) an input port formed in a side of and adjacent an upper end of said housing communicating with said first air passage; c) an output port formed in a side of said housing below said input port communicating with said second air passage; d) said first and second passageways communicating with each other adjacent a lower end of said stirrer; e) a fan positioned in said first passageway adjacent said input port for drawing air into said first passageway, the air traveling through said first and second passageways and carrying heat absorbed by said thermoelectric device through said first and second passageways and said output port and out of said stirrer thereby removing heat from the substance in which said stirrer is positioned; f) said center wall and said first and second walls being made of thermic isolator material, said third and fourth walls comprising said thermoelectric device, and an external protection film of conductive material coating outside surfaces of said third and fourth walls for protecting said thermoelectric device; and g) a battery mounted in said upper end of said stirrer having means for supplying electricity to said thermoelectric device.
