  • the paper protective cover consists of an embossed sheet into which embossed dots are pressed.
  • a known heat insulating clip comprises a paper cup body and a paper protective cover of a heat insulating structure surrounding the cup body.
  • the cup of this type can be readily disposed of when discarded. Also, the cup materials can be used again, if necessary.
  • a cup comprising a cup body and a corrugated board attached to the cup body to surround it is disclosed in, for example, JP-U-50-27080, said corrugated board comprising two liner boards, i.e., thick sheets, and a corrugated paper sheet sandwiched between these liner boards.
  • the two liner boards which are tough, in truncated cone shapes differing from each other in the circumferential length such that the corrugated board can be wound smoothly to conform with the shape of the cup body.
  • the requirement for the particular shapes leads to a troublesome operation for preparing the liner boards.
  • the corrugated board tends to elastically peel off the cup body. If an external force exceeding an elastic limit is applied to the corrugated board, the liner boards of the corrugated board are wrinkled so as to impair the appearance of the cup.
  • JP-A-54-1178 Technique for overcoming the above-noted problems is disclosed in, for example, JP-A-54-1178. It is disclosed that a large number of cuts are imparted to the outer liner board of a corrugated board so as to facilitate the winding of the corrugated board into a cylindrical shape. However, the cylindrical body thus formed is rendered poor in its heat insulating property. In addition, the appearance of the cylindrical body is not satisfactory.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a heat insulating cup adapted for mass production at a low cost.

  • the bottom wall 16 has a short cylindrical leg portion, which is engaged with the lower end portion of the side wall 14. Further, the lower end portion of the side wall 14 is folded inward to have the leg portion of the bottom wall 16 wrapped therein. As a result, the lower end portion of the resultant cup body is sealed.

These embossed points of the embossment 25 are arranged to form first rows extending in a direction making an angle of about 45° with the axis of the cup body 12 and second rows crossing the first rows at substantially the right angles. It is necessary for the embossment 25 not to be collapsed by the ordinary use of the cup 10. Also, the embossed paper sheet 24 is required to be processed easily.
  • the embossed paper sheet 24 In order to meet these requirements, it is desirable for the embossed paper sheet 24 to have a basis weight falling within a range of between 50 g/m 2 and 180 g/m 2 .

It is desirable for the liner board 28 to have a basis weight falling within a range of between 180 g/m 2 and 270 g/m 2 . If the basis weight exceeds the upper limit of 270 g/m 2 , the liner board 28 is rendered unduly rigid, making it troublesome to handle the liner board for preparing the protective cover 20. On the other hand, if the basis weight is lower than the lower limit of 180 g/m 2 , the rigidity and mechanical strength of the liner board 28 are lowered.
  • ink layers 29 for denoting letters or patterns are formed on the liner board 28.

  • the paper board used for forming the side wall 14 it is necessary for the paper board used for forming the side wall 14 to have a basis weight of 170 g/m 2 to 310 g/m 2 and a thickness of 220 ⁇ m to 420 ⁇ m.
  • the Munsell system brightness Bw of the color of side wall 14 should be 6 to 10, preferably 8 to 10.
  • the Munsell system brightness Bm of the color of the marking line 52 should be 0 to 8, preferably 0 to 7. Further, it is important to meet the condition: Bw - Bm ⁇ 2 .
  • each of the pasteboard used for forming the side wall 14 and the marking line 52 is desirable for each of the pasteboard used for forming the side wall 14 and the marking line 52 to be colorless, though it is acceptable for these members of the cup to be colored.
  • the marking line 52 which is exposed by the open window 54 and is formed of a single straight line in the modification shown in FIG. 20, may be replaced by, for example, a broken line, a double line, a linear arrangement of small triangles, dots, letters, numerals, etc.
  • the window 54 facilitates the visual recognition of the marking line 52 from within the cup.
  • the surface level of the liquid poured into the cup can be recognized through the window 54 from outside the cup.
  • the surface level of the liquid poured into the cup can be compared with the marking line 52.
  • the window 54 is highly useful in the case where the user of the cup is unable to peep into the cup.

  • the window 56 can be recognized from within the heat insulating cup by utilizing the external light, with the result that the contour itself of the window 56 can be used a mark of criterion. This makes it unnecessary to draw a marking line 52 as in the heat insulating cup shown in FIG. 19. It is also unnecessary to make the Munsell system brightness of the color on the inner surface of the protective cover 20, i.e., the thin paper sheet 22, into consideration. However, since it is necessary to recognize the contour of the window 56 by utilizing the external light, it is necessary for the paper board used for forming the side wall 14 to have a basis weight falling within a range of between 170 g/m 2 and 310 g/m 2 and a thickness falling within a range of between 220 ⁇ m and 420 ⁇ m.
  • the window 56 can be recognized from inside the cup, making it possible to use the widow 56 as a marking criterion.
  • the surface level of the liquid poured into the cup can be recognized through the window 56 from outside the cup. It follows that the surface level of the liquid poured into the cup can be compared with the marking criterion by utilizing the window 56. In this fashion, the window 56 is highly useful in the case where the user of the cup is unable to peep into the cup.
