Description

Trinkgefaß mit Einrichtung zur Anzeige der Trinkmenge Drinking vessel with device for displaying the amount of drink
D e Erfindung betrifft Tnnkgefaße, beispielsweise Glaser, Becher oder Tassen, mit einer Einrichtung zur Anzeige der Trinkmenge, insbesondere der täglichen Gesamttrinkmenge.The invention relates to drinking vessels, for example glasses, mugs or cups, with a device for displaying the amount of drinking, in particular the total daily drinking amount.
Aus der AT 400 507 B ist ein Trinkgefaß mit einer Vorrichtung zur Anzeige des Fluss gkeitskonsums bekannt, die zur Kontrolle der täglichen und wöchentlichen aufgenommenen Flussigkeitsmenge dient. Die Vorrichtung weist einen Oberring mit einem Zeiger und einen Unterring mit einer Skala auf. Der Unterring ist am Trinkgefaß angebracht. Der Oberring ist im Unterring verdrehbar angeordnet. Hinter den Ringen kann sich Schmutz absetzen, der sich kaum wieder entfernen laßt.From AT 400 507 B a drinking vessel with a device for displaying the fluid consumption is known, which is used to control the daily and weekly amount of liquid consumed. The device has an upper ring with a pointer and a lower ring with a scale. The lower ring is attached to the drinking vessel. The upper ring is rotatably arranged in the lower ring. Dirt can settle behind the rings and can hardly be removed.
Aus der deutschen Patentschrift 70311 ist eine Zahlvorrichtung für Bierglaser bekannt, mit der die Anzahl der Glaser zahlbar ist, die an einen Gast ausgeschenkt wurden. Die Zahlvorrichtung besteht aus einer Zahlstange mit Skala, längs der ein Schieber verschiebbar und auf die entsprechende Zahl einstellbar ist. Die Zahlvorrichtung ist an einem Metallband angeschraubt, das das Glas umgibt, und mittels einer Spannvorrichtung abnehmbar am Bierglas befestigt ist. Diese Zahlvorrichtung besteht aus vielen Einzelteilen, ist daher recht aufwendig und schwer zu reinigen.From the German patent 70311 a payment device for beer glasses is known, with which the number of glasses that can be served to a guest is payable. The payment device consists of a payment bar with a scale along which a slide can be moved and adjusted to the corresponding number. The payment device is screwed to a metal band that surrounds the glass and is removably attached to the beer glass by means of a tensioning device. This payment device consists of many individual parts, is therefore quite complex and difficult to clean.
Es sind ferner Glaskannen bekannt, die einen aufsteckbaren Kunststoff-Henkel aufweisen, der in einer Rille der Kanne gefuhrt und um die Kanne drehbar ist.Glass cans are also known which have a push-on plastic handle which is guided in a groove in the can and can be rotated about the can.
Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Trinkgefaß mit einer Einrichtung zur Anzeige der Trinkmenge anzugeben, das einfach aufgebaut und leicht zu handhaben und zu reinigen ist.It is an object of the present invention to provide a drinking vessel with a device for displaying the amount of drinking, which is simple in construction and easy to handle and clean.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch erfmdungsgemaße Tnnkgefaße gelost, die eine Einrichtung zur Anzeige der Trinkmenge besitzen, die mindestens eine Skala für die Trinkmenge, eine Markierung und ein um das Trinkgefaß drehbares Element aufweist, wobei die Skala und die Markierung relativ zueinander einstellbar sind, und das drehbare Element vom Trinkgefaß abnehmbar ist. Durch Drehen des drehbaren Elements laßt sich auf Hohe der Markierung die jeweilige Trinkmenge einstellen, und nach jedem Trinken durch entsprechendes Weiterdrehen beispielsweise die tägliche Gesamttrinkmenge aufaddieren. Bei abgenommenem drehbarem Element laßt sich das Trinkgefaß wie gewohnt reinigen, insbesondere auch an den Stellen, die sonst durch das drehbare Element verdeckt sind .This task is solved by Tnnkgefaße according to the invention, which have a device for displaying the drinking amount, which has at least one scale for the drinking amount, a marking and a rotatable element around the drinking vessel, the scale and the marking being adjustable relative to one another, and the rotatable element being removable from the drinking vessel. By turning the rotatable element, the respective drinking amount can be set to the height of the marking and, after each drinking by correspondingly turning further, add up the daily total drinking amount, for example. When the rotatable element has been removed, the drinking vessel can be cleaned as usual, in particular also at the places which are otherwise covered by the rotatable element.
Bei erfmdungsgemaßen Trinkgefaßen ist vorzugsweise das Trinkgefaß mit der Markierung und das drehbare Element mit der Skala versehen. Zu einem Trinkgefaß können dann mehrere gegeneinander austauschbare drehbare Elemente vorgesehen sein, die in unterschiedlichen Maßeinheiten geteilte oder mehrere Skalen aufweisen. Es kann aber auch das Trinkgefaß mit der Skala und das drehbare Element mit der Markierung versehen sein. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das Trinkgefaß zusätzlich mit einer an sich bekannten Fullmengenskala versehen ist, die vorzugsweise dieselbe Teilung aufweist wie die Trinkmengenskala.In the case of drinking vessels according to the invention, the drinking vessel is preferably provided with the marking and the rotatable element with the scale. A drinking vessel can then be provided with a plurality of rotatable elements which can be exchanged for one another and which have divided or several scales in different units of measurement. However, the drinking vessel can also be provided with the scale and the rotatable element with the marking. It is particularly advantageous if the drinking vessel is additionally provided with a full quantity scale which is known per se and which preferably has the same division as the drinking quantity scale.
Das drehbare Element kann beispielsweise ein Stellring, ein Henkel oder eine Kappe sein, die auch einen Henkel haben kann. Damit sich das drehbare Element nicht unbeabsichtigt verstellen kann, ist vorzugsweise die Gleitflache zwischen dem drehbaren Element und dem Trinkgefaß mit einer Riffelung versehen, die eine gewisse Schwergangigkeit beim Drehen bewirkt.The rotatable element can be, for example, an adjusting ring, a handle or a cap, which can also have a handle. So that the rotatable element cannot be inadvertently adjusted, the sliding surface between the rotatable element and the drinking vessel is preferably provided with a corrugation which causes a certain stiffness when rotating.

Der Außendurchmesser des Sockels 2 und der Innendurchmesser des Stellrings 4 sind so aufeinander abgestimmt, daß der Stellring 4 auf dem Sockel 2 drehbar ist, wobei der Wulst 5 des Stellrings 4 in die Rille 3 des Sockels 2 eingreift und so den Stellring 4 fuhrt. Der Stellring 4 ist von unten auf den Sockel 2 aufsteckbar. Der Stellring 4 besteht vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff oder einem anderen ausreichend elastischen Material, damit er sich beim Aufstecken geringfügig dehnen und der Wulst 5 des Stellrings 4 m die Rille 3 des Sockels 2 einschnappen kann.The drinking vessel 10 according to the invention shown in FIG. 1 consists of a drinking glass known per se which has a rotationally symmetrical base 2 at its lower end. The base 2 has a groove 3 on its peripheral surface. A likewise rotationally symmetrical adjusting ring 4 has a bead 5 on its inner surface. The outer diameter of the base 2 and the inner diameter of the adjusting ring 4 are matched to one another in such a way that the adjusting ring 4 can be rotated on the base 2 , wherein the bead 5 of the collar 4 engages in the groove 3 of the base 2 and thus guides the collar 4. The collar 4 can be plugged onto the base 2 from below. The collar 4 is preferably made of plastic or another sufficiently elastic material so that it can expand slightly when plugged in and the bead 5 of the collar 4 m can snap into the groove 3 of the base 2.
Auf der Außenflache des Stellrings 4 ist eine Trinkmengenskala 6 und am Trinkglas ist gegenüber der Trinkmengenskala 6 eine Markierung 7 angebracht. Durch Drehen des Stellrings 4 laßt sich somit an der Markierung 7 die jeweilige (Gesamt-) Trinkmenge einstellen. Naturlich können auch mehrere Trinkmengenskalen vorgesehen sein, die m unterschiedlichen Einheiten geteilt sind. Zusätzlich weist das Trinkglas noch eine Fullmengenskala 8 auf.There is a drinking quantity scale 6 on the outer surface of the adjusting ring 4 and a marking 7 is attached to the drinking glass opposite the drinking quantity scale 6. By turning the adjusting ring 4, the respective (total) drinking amount can thus be set at the mark 7. Of course, several drinking quantity scales can also be provided, which are divided into different units. In addition, the drinking glass also has a full quantity scale 8.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausfuhrung eines erfmdungsgemaßen Trinkglases ist die Gleitflache zwischen Stellring und Sockel, d.h. die Innenfläche des Stellrings und/oder die Außenfläche des Sockels, mit einer in der Figur nicht dargestellten Riffelung versehen. Dadurch ergibt sich eine gewisse Schwergängigkeit beim Drehen des Stellrings, sodaß dieser sich nicht unbeabsichtigt verstellen kann.In a preferred embodiment of a drinking glass according to the invention, the sliding surface between the collar and base is ie the inner surface of the adjusting ring and / or the outer surface of the base is provided with a corrugation, not shown in the figure.
