Description

Multipurpose bowl

Technical field

The technical solution relates to a bowl intended for mounting on a beverage container.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

An important sector of the food industry is the production of disposable foods, such as fast food at mass cultural and sports events, street stalls or vehicles. The beverages are usually contained in bottles and cans or in poured form in cups. Foods such as sweet or savory snacks such as nuts, candies, but also salads, creams, ice creams, etc. are sold in sealed packages such as bags, boxes, bowls and cups, or are measured in open bowls, trays, cups etc.

The problem arises during consumption. If you hold a drink in one hand and, for example, a container with nuts in the other, there is no longer a free hand to consume the nuts. clothing pollution.

Thus, there is a need to find a solution that allows the beverage container and the food container to be held together in one hand so that the other hand remains free for consumption or other necessary activity.

The essence of the technical solution

A multipurpose bowl adapted for mounting on a beverage container removes this problem. According to the present invention, the multipurpose bowl is provided on the underside (bottom) with one or more elements for mounting on a beverage container.

The element for mounting on the beverage container may advantageously be formed as a groove in the underside of the multipurpose cup, the upper edge of the crucible or can.

In another embodiment, the beverage container mounting element is a projection formed in the underside of the cup so as to engage the upper edge or portions of the rim of the crucible or can.

In a preferred embodiment, the groove or projection fits snugly over the entire upper edge of the can or crucible such that upon inclination there is no risk of spillage of the beverage and the cup holds well on the beverage container.

The groove or projection will, when viewed from above, have a shape identical to the upper edge of the beverage container, preferably a circular shape.

The elements for mounting on the beverage container are not limited to grooves and projections; the connection to the dish can be made, for example, by a suitable step profile of the lower part of the dish axially symmetrical to the vertical axis passing through the center of the dish.

According to a further embodiment, an embossment is formed in the lower part of the cup as an element for mounting on the beverage container into which the neck of the beverage bottle can be inserted so as to hold the tray thereon.

The press-fit can be adapted, for example, to the neck of a plastic or glass bottle. The upper edge of the indentation preferably lies in the same plane as the upper edge of the cup.

In a preferred embodiment, a thread is provided in the indentation at the bottom of the cup into which the bottle neck can be screwed. This arrangement is particularly suitable for plastic bottles that can be closed with a screw cap.

In another embodiment, an opening is provided at the bottom of the multipurpose dish or indentation for insertion of a drinking straw. If the opening is not formed, the bowl can be used to place it on the beverage container and at the same time serve as its lid.

- 1 CZ 16918 Ul

At the bottom of the multipurpose cup, a plurality of elements may be provided for receiving the beverage containers, e.g. several grooves for mounting on beverage containers of different diameters, as well as a depression for placing the bowl on the neck of the beverage bottle. Such an arrangement will allow the universal use of one type of cup for multiple dimensions of cups and beverage bottles. Advantageously, the elements for mounting on the beverage container are concentrically formed at the bottom of the cup, but they can also be placed non-concentrically at different locations of the bottom of the cup as desired.

The multi-purpose bowl can be of any shape and size. When viewed from above, it may be, for example, circular, rectangular or kidney-shaped. Multiple compartments for different types of food, side dishes, cutlery or straws can also be created in the bowl.

The tray may be made of any material meeting hygienic and technological requirements, preferably plastic, by any technological process, such as injection molding, molding or vacuum molding. The simple design makes it easy to adapt the production of the multipurpose tray to different sizes of beverage containers.

The multipurpose tray may be sealed with a transparent or opaque foil to allow hygienic packaging of the foodstuff or food. extending its shelf life at normal or reduced temperature, and / or may be provided with a lid, or may be completely open, eg for serving freshly prepared or heated foods such as French fries.

The invention will be further described by way of example, but is not intended to be limiting in any way.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

One possible embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 shows a cross-section of a multipurpose dish;

Fig. 2 shows a bottom view of the multipurpose tray;

Fig. 3 shows a cross section of a multipurpose tray mounted on a can; and Fig. 4 part a) shows a view of one embodiment of a multipurpose cup, part b) a view of a multipurpose cup mounted on a crucible, part c) a view of a cup mounted on a bottle, and part d) a view of a cup mounted on a beverage can.

Examples of technical solution

The multipurpose tray shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 has concentric grooves 2 for mounting on beverage cups with three different diameters of the upper edge, and a groove 3 for receiving the beverage can 6.

In the underside of the cup there is further provided an embossment 4 with an opening 5 for mounting on the bottle or beverage bottle. passing through straws 7.

The profile of the grooves 2, 3 and the indentations 4 is selected so that when the bowl is placed on the crucible, the can or the can.

the bottle has a sufficiently firm hold, preferably a seal, of the beverage pot edge in the groove 2 corresponding to the diameter, or the edge of the beverage can 6 in the groove 3, or the neck of the beverage bottle in the embossments 4. a can 6, a cup or a bottle.
