Definitions

  • This invention relates to condiment packages and particularly to a package that engages the top of a beverage container.
  • Drinks and snacks have long been associated with one another. However, a unique problem exists with dispensing drinks and snacks in that they are often consumed when the consumer is involved in other activities such as walking, walking through a crowd, at a party, at a sporting event, using a telephone, driving a car, reading, socializing, at a party, and so forth.
  • Another scenario is where the eater is in the company of a number of people, such as at a bar or around a pool.
  • the snacks are placed in an open dish.
  • a problem with the "open dish” method of dispensing snacks is that, in the minds of many, the practice of many hands dipping into a common container can result in spreading bacteria, viruses, and other contaminants.
  • These snacks invariably generate a thirst for what is usually a popular beverage such as, for example, Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Gatorade, or an alcoholic beverage.
  • a popular beverage such as, for example, Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Gatorade, or an alcoholic beverage.
  • the beverage industry distributes these beverages in any one of various sized containers - ranging from cans, cups, bottles and cartons.
  • the range of available sizes of containers is consistent with a market that includes small children overgrown adults, and everyone in between.
  • One size of beverage container does not fit all customers.
  • Popular sizes of beverage containers range from 300ml to 1 litre.
  • US 6,425,480 discloses a mobile-dining mealholder with a plate-lid and detachable bottle, the bottle including a narrow cylindrical neck with projections at axially spaced positions, and the plate-lid including a horizontal cap portion having a) a downwardly extending cylindrical skirt with projections at axially spaced positions and b) a tray portion extending outwardly from the lower edge of the skirt and having food-holding areas about the cap portion.
  • the mealholder is secured to the bottle via a mating threaded attachment.
  • US 6,425,480 discloses a dispenser of the type defined by the preamble of the accompanying claim 1.
  • US 4,098,439 discloses a cup shaped vessel adapted to fit snugly over the rim of a conventional beverage can.
  • the vessel includes a circular groove in a bottom surface for engagement with the rim of the can.
  • a dispenser for containing a first product said dispenser being adapted for mounting on a container for containing a second product; said container having a circular rim being any one of at least one standard size, said dispenser comprising:
  • the container for containing a second product may be a bottle having a neck with a bottle opening, said circular opening having a dimension that permits inserting said neck through said circular opening into said interior truncated cone and a drinking straw through said hole in said cover and into said bottle.
  • the first product may be a doughnut with a doughnut hole, said smaller cone being dimensioned to fit through said doughnut hole.
  • the dispenser may further comprise a lid having a skirt around an outside rim of said lid; said skirt being dimensioned to engage a largest rim of said outside truncated cone.
  • the lid may have a depression being dimensioned to position one of a CD disk and DVD disk in said depression.
  • the outer truncated cone may have a side opening; a sheet of one of paper and plastic film being positioned inside said outer truncated cone and covering said side opening; said side opening having a size selected to permit a forefinger and thumb of a user of reach inside said side opening and withdraw said second product from inside said outer truncated cone.
  • the outer truncated cone may be dimensioned to permit depositing the first product inside said dispenser.
  • Figures 1 to 5 show versions of a container 10 for nuts 11 configured for mounting on the top end 19 of a standard beverage cup or can 12.
  • the standard beverage can/cup 12 presently on the market has an outside ridge 19 around the upper edge of the cup/can 12.
  • the container 10 comprises an integrally formed (molded) cylinder 14 and may have a partial lid 24 that extends over about two thirds of the container 10 opening.
  • Figure 1 shows one version of the container in which a bottom side 16 (in phantom) is displaced from the lower edge 18 of the cylinder 14 so that a short skirt 20 is formed which includes the lower edge 18.
  • Figure 2A is a sectional view of Figure 1 .
  • Figure 2B is the same as Figure 2A but shows a drinking straw 31 extending down through the cylinder 14 into the beverage 40.
  • the lower edge 18 of skirt 20 has an inside lip 21 dimensioned so that the lip 21 "snaps" onto the ridge 19 around the top edge of the cup/can 12.
  • Figure 3A is an exploded view of another version for mounting the container 10 on the can 12 in which the means for mounting the container 10 on the can/cup 12 is sleeve 45.
  • Figure 3B is an assembly view showing the container 10 inserted into one end of sleeve 45 and the can 12 inserted into the opposite end of sleeve 45.
  • Figure 3C is a sectional view of Figure 3B showing nuts 11 in the container 10 and drinking straw 31 extending through the container 10 into the beverage 40.
  • Figure 4 is a side view of a third version for mounting the container 10 on the can 12 in which the container 10 has a bottom side 16 with the molded groove 44 that mates with the ridge 19 on the top edge of can 12.
  • Figure 5 is a sectional view of a fourth version in which the container 10 is supported inside the can/cup 12 by a flange 13 extending outwardly from the top edge of container 10.
  • the molded cylinder 14 has a partial lid 24 that extends over part of the open top of the cylinder 14.
  • the partial lid 24 provides better control when pouring nuts from container 10.
  • a cover 26 being a thin foil or paper, is adhesively adhered to flange 13 of the cylinder 14 and the partial lid 24 and extends over the top opening of the cylinder 14. This feature provides a complete enclosure for the nuts before sale of the nuts occurs.
  • the cover 26 is peeled from off the partial lid 24 by grasping a tab 29 attached to this section of the cover and peeling back the cover 26.
  • Figure 6 is a perspective view showing cylinder 14 with flange 13 covered by cover 26.
  • the side of cylinder 14 has a channel 30 extending from top edge to bottom edge of the cylinder 14.
  • the channel 30 provides a guide for positioning drinking straw 31 through hole 32 along channel 30, and through opening 23 in the can 12 down into the beverage 40 stored inside can 12.
  • hole 32 in container 10 also provides an opening for displaying a plurality of the containers 10 on a peg 36 for commercial display.
  • the user selects his container 10 of favorite condiments from a peg 36 and places the container onto the top of a opened beverage can or cup. Then he peels off the cover 26 and inserts a straw 31 through the channel 30 and the opening 23, so that the lower end of the straw extends into the beverage 40 in the can (cup) 12.
  • the ability to peel off the cover (leaving the partial lid attached to the container) and pour the condiments directly into the mouth is a more dependable method of partaking the condiments than the present method for dispensing condiments (usually peanuts) which is to rip open a cellophone bag and try to empty the nuts directly in the mouth from the bag because a few of the nuts are invariably stuck in the bottom of the bag.
  • condiments usually peanuts
  • beverage and/or condiments can be dispensed while holding the container / can in one hand.
  • condiments may be packaged (and sold) separately from the beverage so that the buyer may select any one of a number of condiments.
  • the word, "condiments”, is any food including nuts, mints, chocolates, etc. that are dispensed as a “pea-sized” nuggets and as such, are well known to the public.
  • the nuts and beverage are fully protected from contamination until the consumer is ready to consume the condiments are beverage.
  • FIG 8 is a perspective view showing a dispenser, in accordance with the claimed invention.
  • the dispenser 210 is a dish comprising an outer truncated cone 212 with its small end integrally joined to a base 214.
  • Figure 9 is a sectional view showing the cone section constructed as steps 216A, B, and C.
  • the outer truncated cone has an outside surface comprising steps.
  • Each step comprises a riser surface 217 and a step surface 219.
  • the riser surface is a circular continuous flat band concentric with a centerline of the base.
  • the step surface 219 is a continuous band perpendicular to the centerline.
  • a smaller interior inverted cone 218 is integrally joined to the base 214 at a concentric opening 221 in the base 214.
  • the interior cone 218 has an opening 220 in its apex.
  • Figure 10 is a sectional view where the dispenser 210 is mounted onto a container 222 of beverage.
  • the steps 216 of the dispenser 210 are dimensioned so that the dispenser 210 is supported by step 216B on the rim of the container 222.
  • the diameter of each step is selected to enable fitting the dispenser 210 onto the rim of a beverage cup having a standard size.
  • each step 216 is tapered to permit a snug fit of the dispenser 10 into the beverage container.
  • the standard beverage cups are in 16oz, 22oz, 32 oz, 44 oz, 64 oz, 300ml, 440ml, 500ml, 11 and imperial pint size.
  • Figure 10 show the base having a concentric groove 224.
  • the dispenser 10 is poised for mounting onto the rim 226 of a can 228 of beverage.
  • the groove 224 is dimensioned to enable press fitting the rim 226 of a can 228 into the groove 224 as shown in Figure 11 .

  • the dispenser 210 is dimensioned to fit the dispenser 210 onto a beverage cup having any one of five sizes, a beverage can or a beverage bottle.
  • condiments 233 such an nuts, chips, crackers or packed ice cream are stored in the dispenser 210.
  • Dispenser 210 is mounted on the beverage container.
  • a drinking straw 231 is inserted through the opening 220 in the small cone into the beverage container.
  • the user is thereby enabled to hold the combined beverage container and dispenser 210 in one hand, drink through the straw 231 or take food 233 out the dispenser 210 with the other hand. This is a great convenience for one who is not seated at a table.
  • Figure 10 shows a circular lid 232 with a shoulder 234 dimensioned to enable pressing the lid 232 onto the rim of the dispenser 210.
  • the circular lid 232 has a depression 236 dimensioned to permit storing a CD/VCD/DVD disk 238 into the depression 236.
  • the CD disk 238 is retained in the depression by film 240 that extends over the lide and is secure to the rim of the disk 238.
  • the inclusion of the CD disk 238 with the dispenser 210 is an added attraction for marketing the dispenser 210 containing condiments particularly to the younger members of the market.
  • Figure 15 shows another version in which the dispenser 210 is adapted for dispensing a doughnut 244.
