Description
AUSTRALIA
Patents Act 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION INNOVATION PATENT Rotating Identification Container Band
(RICB)
The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it know to me.
Prepared by Shelly Zimmerman Applicant: Shelly Zimmerman Customer No: 2810260359 Date Submitted: 6Nov08 00 cN DESCRIPTION O The household drinking cup is a very useful product with a very simple design. It S 5 has been used for years with variations in shape, colour, size, lids, temperature sensitive parts, and elaborate identification systems. But there is no simple way of identifying the user of the cup. This innovative step aids in the task of identifying the user of a cup within a small group of people the family) and allows each and every cup to be identified as the users' cup by the simple twist of a rotating band 00 10 that displays the users colour/name identification in the bands window opening.
00 O The rotating identification container band (RICB) in accordance with this innovative step comprises a circular band with an opening in its wall. The band is intrinsic and _revolves around a container cup, sports bottle, toddler cup, baby bottle) 00 15 displaying one of the defined set of colour/name identifications in the bands window Sopening. The RICB can take on different forms depending on the container, but the Suse of the RICB is the same, aiding in the task of identification of a containers user.
(Ni The RICB when configured with a drinking cup allows each and every cup within a set of cups to be identified by the user of the cup. This is done by the simple twist of the rotating band; no apparatus has to be applied.
This innovation was designed with the family in mind but can have several other use groups (sports team, daycare, multiple birth families). In the example of the family there would be a set of cups all having the same label. The label would contain six different colour sections with the names of the family members associated with a colour. When a family member selects a cup they would twist the band until their colour/name displays in the bands window opening. The family member could do this with every cup in the set.
We believe this product will help a family manage; abandoned cups, unwanted cups, washing of clean cups, increase hygiene standards and hopefully diminish cup arguments. When an individual uses a cup and later can't identify his/her cup that usually results in the individual abandoning the cup or possibly taking another individual cup.
The invention may be better understood with a reference to the illustrations of parts of the invention which are; Figure 1 shows the circular band with an opening and corrugations, within the inside of the band. The band is unassembled from a container.
Figure 2 is an elevation of the RICB with the circular band separate from the container, which shows the containers indentation, identification label, and corrugations. The identification label encircles the whole container; the figure shows 3 of the 6 colour/name identifications.
Figure 3 is the RICB fully assembled with a cup as the container and the identification #1 showing in the bands window opening.
The container shown is a cup 7 with an indentation 8, which is the area where the band 4 is assembled. The band 4 rotates around the cup 7 displaying one of the defined set of colour/name identifications 9 in the bands window opening Applicant: Shelly Zimmerman Customer No: 2810260359 Date Submitted: 6Nov08 In the inside wall of the band 4 and within the cups indentation 8 there are complementarily positioned co-acting outward or inward corrugations 6 which will engage one with the other when the band 4 is rotated around the cup 7. This allows the bands window opening 5 to align with one of the defined set of colour/name identifications 9.
