Definitions

  • This invention relates to a disposable drinking cup, more particularly to a disposable drinking cup including a cup body and an insulating sleeve sleeved on the cup body.
  • Figs. 1 and 2 illustrate a conventional disposable drinking cup 2 that includes a cup body 21 and an insulating sleeve 22 sleeved on the cup body 21.
  • the insulating sleeve 22 has a planar sheet 221 bonded to the cup body 21, and a structured sheet 222 bonded to the planar sheet 221.
  • the structured sheet 222 has a corrugated structure including rounded outward protrusions 2221 and rounded inward protrusions 2222 that are alternately disposed with the outward protrusions 2221.
  • Each of the outward protrusions 2221 cooperates with the planar sheet 221 to define an air pocket 23 therebetween.
  • the air pockets 23 thus formed in the disposable drinking cup 2 provide a thermal insulating effect.
  • the conventional drinking cup 2 is disadvantageous in that, since the contact area between each of the rounded inward protrusions 2222 and the planar sheet 221 is relatively small, undesired peeling of the structured sheet 222 from the planar sheet 221 is likely to occur. Moreover, manufacturing of the disposable drinking cup 2 requires assembling the structured sheet 222 and the planar sheet 221 to form the insulating sleeve 22 first and then assembling the insulating sleeve 22 and the cup body 21, which results in an increase in the manufacturing costs and time.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a disposable drinking cup that can overcome the aforesaid drawback of the prior art.
  • a disposable drinking cup that comprises: a cup body having a surrounding wall; and an insulating sleeve sleeved securely on the surrounding wall of the cup body and having a corrugated part that includes a plurality of protruding portions displaced angularly around the surrounding wall and spaced apart from each other. Each of the protruding portions extends outwardly and radially from the surrounding wall so as to define an air pocket therebetween.
  • the air pocket is defined by a pocket-defining wall that has a cross-section which is substantially trapezoidal inshape.
  • the corrugated partfurther includes a plurality of non-rounded flat connecting portions, each of which extends between and separates two adjacent ones of the protruding portions apart, each of which is bonded to the surrounding wall, and each of which cooperates with the two adjacent ones of the protruding portions to define a recess thereamong.
  • Figs. 3 to 5 illustrate the first preferred embodiment of a disposable drinking cup according to this invention.
  • the disposable drinking cup includes: a cup body 3 having a bottom wall 33 and a surrounding wall 32 extending from the bottom wall 33 and cooperating with the bottom wall 33 to define an inner space 34 therebetween; and an insulating sleeve 4 sleeved securely on the surrounding wall 32 of the cup body 3 and having a corrugated part 40 that includes a plurality of protruding portions 41 displaced angularly around the surrounding wall 32 and spaced apart from each other.
  • Each of the protruding portions 41 is tapered and extends outwardly and radially from the surrounding wall 32 so as to define an air pocket 44 therebetween.
  • the air pocket 44 is defined by a pocket-defining wall that has a cross-section 441 which is substantially trapezoidal in shape.
  • the corrugated part 40 further includes a plurality of non-rounded flat connecting portions 42, each of which extends between and separates two adjacent ones of the protruding portions 41 apart, each of which is bonded to the surrounding wall 32, and each of which cooperates with the two adj acent ones of the protruding portions 41 to define a recess 421 thereamong.
  • the cross-section 441 of the pocket-defining wall has a cup side 4411 defined by the surrounding wall 32, and a distal side 4412 opposite to the cup side 4411 and having a length less than that of the cup side 4411 and greater than that of each of the non-rounded flat connecting portions 42.
  • the cross-section 441 of the pocket-defining wall further has two opposing inclined sides 4413, each of which is straight, each of which interconnects the cup side 4411 and the distal side 4412, and each of which preferably has a length less than that of each of the non-rounded flat connecting portions 42.
  • the insulating sleeve 4 further has a non-corrugated end part 43 that extends from the corrugated part 40 and that is bonded to a bottom end portion of the surrounding wall 32.
  • the surrounding wall 32 of the cup body 3 has top and bottom ends 321, 322.
  • Each of the protruding portions 41 has a top open end 411 that is disposed adjacent to the top end 321 of the surrounding wall 32 and that is in fluid communication with the air pocket 44 defined by said each of the protruding portions 41, and a bottom closed end 412 that is disposed adjacent to the bottom end 322 of the surrounding wall 32 and that seals a bottom side of the air pocket 44 defined by said each of the protruding portions 41.
  • Figs. 6 and 7 illustrate the second preferred embodiment of the disposable drinking cup according to this invention.
  • the second preferred embodiment differs from the previous embodiment in that the insulating sleeve 4 has solely the corrugated part 40 (i.e., without the non-corrugated part 43) and that each of the protruding portions 41 has a bottom open end 412 that is disposed adjacent to the bottom end 322 of the surrounding wall 32 and that is in fluid communication with the air pocket 44 defined by said each of the protruding portions 41.
  • Fig. 8 illustrates the third preferred embodiment of the disposable drinking cup according to this invention.
  • the third preferred embodiment differs from the previous embodiments in that the insulating sleeve 4 is coated with a decorative film 45 having at least one indicia 451 printed thereon so as to enhance the appearance of the disposable drinking cup.
