BG2489U1 - An absorbent coaster - Google Patents

Abstract

The current utility model relates to an absorbent coaster, which can be used in the restaurant business, specifically for serving chilled drinks and drinks to which ice has been added. The created absorbent coaster is made up of several, placed on top of the other and connected to each other layers. The lowest layer is a decorative layer (1), made from textile, foil or other pliable material. The following layer is an isolating layer (2), made from a water resistant elastic material, and the third layer is an absorbing layer (3), made from a porous material with a high rate of absorption. Above the absorbing layer (3) is placed a gluing layer (4), through which the coaster is immovably located to the glass. Above the gluing layer (4) is placed a defensive tape (5). The absorbent coaster has a round or polygonal shape, in which are designed a base (6), periphery portions (7) and bending lines (8), thus the periphery portions (7) include the bending lines (8), as a mutual side with the base (6). The base (6) of the mat has a shape of a regular polygon, the number of sides of which is at least five and at most eight.

Description

Field of technology

This utility model relates to an absorbent cup holder that will find application in the restaurant industry, in particular when serving cold drinks and beverages with added ice.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

From practice, different types of coasters are known - hot or cold drinks that absorb moisture or heat-resistant, advertising, decorative and others.

The most common are beer pads, which are pressed cardboard that is placed under a beer glass or mug to prevent beer and moisture that condenses on the outside of the glass, on the table or tablecloth. Beer pads are made of special hygroscopic cardboard, and their shape is usually round or square with rounded corners. Advertisements of the respective brand of beer, drinking establishment, sports or cultural events and others are printed on the beer pads. Pads made of paper or cardboard are most often disposable.

In addition to cardboard, coasters can be made of leather, textile, plastic, glass, metal and other materials, in which case they are designed for multiple use. These pads can be ribbed to prevent the cup from sticking to the cup, as well as be rubber-coated to prevent them from slipping on the table.

Decorative and advertising pads can be made in different shapes and are intended for decoration or advertising rather than for practical purposes.

Technical essence of the utility model

The task of the utility model is to create an absorbent pad for cups, which absorbs the condensed drops of water that flow on the cup, without the risk of wetting the surface on which the pad is placed, while the pad does not slip on the surface and is easy to install and remove.

The problem is solved by creating an absorbent pad for cups, consisting of several, located one above the other and interconnected layers. The bottom layer is a decorative layer made of textile, foil or other flexible material. The next layer is an insulating layer formed of a waterproof elastic material, and the third layer is an absorbent layer, Yu which consists of a porous material with high absorbency. Above the absorbent layer is an adhesive layer, by means of which a pad is fixed to the cup. Above the adhesive layer is a ^{$ 1} protective tape.

The absorbent cup holder is shaped in a round or polygonal shape, in which a base, peripheral parts and 2Q folding lines are separated. Peripheral parts include folding lines as a common side with the base.

The base of the absorbent pad is in the shape of a regular polygon, the number of sides of which is at least five and at most eight. 25 The advantages of the created absorbent coaster are that it is functional and easy to use. The pad absorbs the condensed drops of water that flow down the 5Q cup, preventing wetting of the surface on which it is placed. In addition, the pad does not slip on the surface and when lifting the cup, the pad does not peel off and no drops of water flow from it.

Explanation of the attached figures

This utility model is illustrated by the accompanying figures, where:

Figure 1 is a cross-sectional view of the absorbent cup holder according to the utility model;

Figure 2 is an exploded view of a polygonal absorbent cup holder;

Figure 3 is a view of the absorbent coaster of Figure 2 in the process of being placed on a cocktail glass; and Figure 4 is an unfolded view of a round absorbent cup holder.

Examples of implementation of the utility model

The created absorbent pad for cups consists of several, located one above the other and interconnected layers made of different materials - figure 1.

2489 UI

The first, bottom layer is a decorative layer 1, most often made of textile, but can also be made of foil or other flexible material. Different information can be applied on it - company name, trademark or other advertising information.

The next layer is an insulating layer 2, which does not allow moisture to pass to the surface on which the substrate is placed, as well as to cause wetting of the decorative layer 1. The insulating layer 2 is formed of a waterproof elastic material.

The third layer is an absorbent layer 3, which consists of a porous material with high absorbency. The absorbent layer 3 retains the absorbed water droplets that have flowed down the cup without the risk of them leaking out.

After the third layer there is an adhesive layer 4, which is most often a waterproof adhesive, by means of which the absorbent pad is fixed to the cup.

The adhesive layer 4 is followed by a protective tape 5 made of paper, foil or other suitable material. This protective patch 5 is removed immediately before using the pad.

The created absorbent pad for cups (shown in figures 2 to 4) is formed in a round or polygonal shape, in which are separated base 6, peripheral parts 7 and folding lines 8, allowing folding the pad and placing it on different types of cups - for beer, cocktails and more.

The base 6 of the pad is in the shape of a regular polygon, the sides of which represent the folding lines 8. The number of sides of the regular polygon of the base 6 is at least five and at most eight. The peripheral parts 7 include the folding lines 8, having a common side with the base 6 and their number corresponds to the number of sides of the base 6.

In one embodiment, the cup holder, according to the utility model, is polygonal in shape. The peripheral parts 7 are shaped like an isosceles trapezoid, whose small base coincides with the sides of the base 6 of the pad and the folding lines 8. The angle at the small base of this trapezoid is equal to the angle of the regular polygon of the base 6, and the height of the trapezoid is -small from the apothem of the regular polygon of the base 6. When mentally extending the large bases of the peripheral parts 7, the same regular polygon is obtained as on the base 6 of the substrate, but with a larger side.

In another embodiment, the cup holder is round in shape. The peripheral parts 7 are shaped like an isosceles trapezoid, whose small base coincides with the sides of the base 6 of the pad and the folding lines 8, and the large base is replaced by a convex arc. The angle at the small base is also equal to the angle of the regular polygon of the base 6, and the distance between the middle of the arc and the middle of the small base is less than the apothem of the regular polygon at the base 6. When extending the arcs of the peripheral parts 7, gets a circle.

When using the created pad, first remove the protective tape 5, then place the cup on the base 6 of the pad, and fold the peripheral parts 7 along the longitudinal folding lines 8. When the cup used is a cocktail glass with a stool, the peripheral parts 7 are glued on the upper surface of the base of the cup. When the glass used is a beer or whiskey glass, for example (a glass without a stool), the peripheral parts 7 are glued to the walls of the glass. After the glass is placed on the absorbent pad, pour the desired cold drink and add ice if necessary.

The created absorbent coaster is for single use.
