Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] <Technical field> This invention relates to a cup holder.

<Prior art> Conventionally, at a buffet party, etc., if you hold a cup filled with cold sake or juice in your hand for a long time, the difference in temperature between the cold drink and the outside air causes saturated water vapor to flow onto the outer surface of the cup. adheres to,
There have been problems with water droplets collecting on the surface of the pot, making hands wet and uncomfortable, and water droplets dripping and staining clothes and surroundings. Also, because the tip was wet, my hands often slipped and dropped or knocked it over.

For this reason, the tip was wrapped in a paper napkin or covered with a handkerchief, but paper napkins, which are thin and have poor water absorption properties, swell due to water absorption and become dirty. It was difficult to cover the cylindrical tip with a napkin or handkerchief, and it was not very aesthetically pleasing.

Another idea was to cover the outer periphery of the pot with insulation material, but thin insulation material would cause condensation on the outer periphery of the insulation material itself, so it would be ineffective, and thick insulation material would not only look unsightly but also be costly. It was expensive and impractical.

In addition, the surface of the cup is covered with a two-layered sheet made of water-resistant printed paper backed with tissue paper, with the tissue paper side facing inside, to solve the unpleasant phenomenon caused by condensation on the glass surface. There was also a holder for a cup (see Utility Model Application Publication No. 53-54782, etc.).

However, when the tip is inserted into the holder, the holder is also cooled through the outer wall of the tip, and dew condenses on the outer surface of the holder. There was a risk that the water condensing on the outside of the holder might wet your hands or cause it to drip.

<Purpose> Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology, to block condensed water on the surface of the holder, to absorb and retain moisture condensed on the outer surface of the holder, and to have a good appearance. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pot holder that is easy to use without getting your hands wet or staining your clothes or surroundings.

<Structure> The structure of the tip holder of this invention to achieve the above object is that a sheet material having an engaging protrusion formed at one end and a cut line formed at the other end is wound to form the above-mentioned engaging projection. The protrusions are inserted into the cut lines to join both ends of the sheet material, forming a cylindrical part into which the tip can be inserted.The sheet material is a laminate of a water-absorbing and retaining sheet made of non-woven fabric and a shape-retaining sheet such as paper. It is formed from a laminated sheet, and is characterized in that it is wound with the water absorbing and retaining sheet side exposed to the outside.

<Example> Next, an example of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, 1
1 shows the entire holder for a pot, and the entire holder 1 is formed from a laminated sheet in which a water-absorbing and retaining sheet 2 made of non-woven fabric and a paper 3 which is stiff and has excellent shape retention are laminated together.

In the unfolded state of the holder 1 shown in FIG. 1, 10 is a sector-shaped part, which is wound into a cylindrical shape during assembly and use, and then both ends are joined and a tip is inserted inside. Reference numerals 11 and 12 denote joint portions formed at both ends of the fan-shaped portion 10. An engaging protrusion 11 is formed extending from one end of the fan-shaped portion 10, and an engaging protrusion 11 that can be engaged with the engaging protrusion 11 is formed at the other end. A cut line 12 is formed. The tip of the protrusion 11 is formed wider than the vicinity of the base, so that when it engages with the incision line 12, it engages reliably and is difficult to pull out. Incidentally, the upper end of the fan-shaped portion 10 is formed into a wavy curved shape to provide a good appearance during use.

To assemble the holder 1 in the unfolded state, as shown in FIG. 12 are engaged with each other to form a tapered cylindrical cylindrical portion 13, and the holder 1 is assembled. Note that the joint parts 11 and 12
can be re-disassembled if it is only joined by engagement, and if it is joined and fixed with adhesive or the like after engagement, the assembly becomes stronger.

Next, holder 1 assembled as above
As shown in FIG. 3, the lower part of the tip c is inserted into the tapered cylindrical part 13 formed from the fan-shaped part 10, and the holder 1 is placed in close contact with the outer surface of the tip c. Use it by holding it in your hand.

Although the holder 1 may be stored in a three-dimensionally assembled state, it is preferable to fold the cylindrical portion 10 in half and handle it in a flat sheet state, which improves the transport efficiency. When in use, the folded cylindrical portion 10 can be reassembled three-dimensionally and used without any problems.

Among the holders 1 described above, the laminated sheet in which the water absorbing and retaining sheet 2 made of nonwoven fabric and the paper 3 are laminated has good water absorbing and retaining properties due to the water absorbing and retaining sheet 2 and stiffness due to the paper 3. It is extremely suitable for use as the holder 1. As for the thickness of the water absorbing and retaining sheet 2 and the paper 3, the thicker the water absorbing and retaining sheet 2 is, the more water it absorbs and the more durable the water absorbing and retaining sheet 2 itself becomes, but it is more expensive in terms of cost. With,
The entire holder 1 becomes thick. Further, the thicker the paper 3, the better its stiffness, strength, durability, etc., and the cost is lower than that of the water-absorbing and retaining sheet 2. Therefore, the ratio of the thickness of the water-absorbing and retaining sheet 2 made of non-woven fabric and the paper 3 is determined by taking into consideration the usability of the holder 1 such as water absorption and stiffness, as well as the overall thickness and manufacturing cost of the holder 1. shall be set. Note that the material forming the holder 1 may be a laminate sheet in which a shape-retaining sheet such as a synthetic resin film or a synthetic resin foam sheet is laminated with a water-absorbing and retaining sheet 2 made of non-woven fabric instead of the paper 3 of the laminate sheet described above. However, it is possible.

Next, in the structure of the holder 1, the cylindrical part 13 can be formed freely according to the outer shape of the tip c, but it is preferable that the cylindrical part 13 is tapered in the axial direction. This is preferable since the tip c is difficult to slip out when inserted into the tip c. Particularly, when the holder 1 does not have a bottom as in the illustrated embodiment, the above-mentioned taper-based fall-off prevention structure is effective. In order to form the cylindrical part 13 in a tapered shape, it is sufficient to form the fan-shaped part 10 in the unfolded state, and when the cylindrical part 13 is formed in a cylindrical shape parallel to the axial direction, in the unfolded state, In this case, instead of the fan-shaped portion 10, it may be formed into a rectangular shape. The height of the holder 1 is sufficient as long as it covers the area below the tip c that comes into contact with the hand when the tip c is held in the hand, and wavy or other decorative patterns can be freely formed on the upper end of the holder 1. . Furthermore, if the outer surface of the holder 1 is printed or colored, the appearance will be even more attractive and suitable.

Next, in the modified example shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, a bottom plate 14 is connected to the lower part of the cylindrical part 13,
In the unfolded state, as shown in FIG. Also, a narrow connecting portion 15' is formed.
When assembling, as shown in FIG.
Adhesive joint to the bottom edge of.

Therefore, during use, the bottom plate 14 is connected and fixed to the lower end of the cylindrical part 13, and when the tip c is inserted, the bottom plate 14 comes into contact with the bottom of the tip c and can be reliably supported. .

In addition, when the holder 1 is folded and transported for storage, as shown in FIG. If you fold it in half, you can store it neatly and compactly.

In the illustrated modification, the outer diameter of the bottom plate 14 is formed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the lower end of the cylindrical portion 13, making it easier to perform the folding and assembling operations described above. Although there is a slight gap around the outer periphery, it is also possible to implement a structure in which the outer periphery of the bottom plate 14 contacts the cylindrical portion 13 without any gap.

The holder 1 described above prevents the condensation water on the surface of the cup c containing drinks such as cold sake and youth from reaching the hands.
Although it is used to absorb water condensation on the outer surface, it also has heat insulating properties, so it can also be used for drinks such as hot coffee, and it also has the effect of blocking heat transfer to the hand holding the cup.

<Effects> According to the cup holder of this invention configured as described above, the holder is formed from a laminated sheet made by laminating a water absorbing and retaining sheet made of non-woven fabric and a shape retaining sheet such as paper. It exhibits both good water absorption and retention properties due to the water absorption and retention sheet and stiffness due to the shape retention sheet, making it extremely suitable for use as a holder.

In addition, since the water-absorbing and retaining sheet is wound with the side thereof exposed to the outside, the shape-retaining sheet can effectively block dew condensation on the tip surface.

Particularly, when the shape-retaining sheet is formed from a synthetic resin film or a foamed synthetic resin sheet, it is suitable because it can completely block dew condensation on the surface of the tip.

Since the outer surface of the holder that touches the hands is covered with a water-absorbing and retaining sheet made of non-woven fabric, the water-absorbing and retaining sheet absorbs and retains the condensed water that forms on the outer surface of the holder, effectively preventing your hands from getting wet. .

That is, as mentioned above, if a cup containing a cold drink is inserted into the holder for a long period of time, the holder will also be cooled through the outer wall of the cup and condensation will form on the outside of the holder. Since the water absorbed is immediately absorbed and retained by the water-absorbing sheet made of non-woven fabric, it has a good appearance and is easy to use without getting your hands wet or staining your clothes or surroundings.

Since it is made by laminating a water-absorbing and retaining sheet with a shape-retaining sheet such as paper, the opening of the cylindrical part does not become flattened, and the tip can be easily inserted into the cylindrical part.

Further, the holder has an engaging protrusion formed at one end of the sheet material, a cut line that can be engaged with the engaging protrusion at the other end, and the engaging protrusion is fitted into the cut line to connect both ends of the sheet material. Since the material is joined to form a cylinder, at the stage of the unfolded sheet material, at the same time as forming the cylinder-shaped part, an engaging protrusion is formed on one of both ends, and a cut line that allows this engaging protrusion to engage is formed on the other end. can be easily assembled into a cylindrical shape by simply inserting the engaging protrusion into the cut line during use. Furthermore, there is no need to use adhesive during assembly, and there is no problem such as adhesive components adhering to hands, making it suitable for hygiene.

The holder has a cylindrical part into which the tip is inserted, making it extremely easy and convenient to handle compared to using conventional paper napkins or handkerchiefs, as well as giving a good appearance. It becomes something beautiful.

In addition, since the holder is made of a foldable sheet material, the holder can be stored in a flat folded state when not in use, which is extremely convenient for handling during transport and storage.
