Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to composite cup structures.
  • Disposable liquid containers may generally be made of plastics and paper materials.
  • Plastics containers of a single-layer structure are not suited for heat insulation despite providing advantages such as: ease of manufacturing, lower cost and better leak-proofing.
  • Paper containers are manufactured using more complex procedures and at higher cost, but their leak-proofing effect and structural strength are inferior to that of plastics containers.
  • multi-layer or thicker designs are required for desired heat insulation, or foamed heat-insulating layers are added, potentially leading to extremely high cost.
  • the invention provides a composite cup structure as specified in claim 1.
  • the composite cup structure may allow the combining of a plastics inner layer, or cup, with an outer paper cup for detachable and recycleable applications by using the extension member provided on the curled edge of the rim of the plastics inner cup.
  • the composite cup structure may permit the accommodation of a foamed heat-insulating layer for desired heat insulation in a space defined between the inner and outer cups.
  • the composite cup structure may enable the provision of various kinds of opening(s) in the body of outer paper cup, which may be helpful for marketing, without affecting the air-tightness and integrity of the composite cup structure.
  • the composite cup structure may be manufactured from recycled paper and plastics in a ratio of 7:3 paper to plastics, thereby contributing to environmental protection and cost effectiveness.
  • Embodiments of the composite cup structure comprise: an inner plastic cup and an outer paper cup; the rims of both inner plastic cup and outer paper cup are provided with outwards curled edges, in particular: the curled edge of the inner plastic cup is slightly larger than that of the outer paper cup, and a flat surface is formed on the top; besides, an extension sheet of any shape is formed on the curled edge towards the cup bottom; when the inner and outer cups are overlapped, the curled edge of the inner plastic cup could cover the curled edge of the outer paper cup, thus forming a leakproofing composite cup of excellent strength; the extension sheet contributes to the separation of inner and outer cups for classification and recycling.
  • a composite cup structure comprises: an inner plastics cup 1 and an outer paper cup 2, with a ratio of 7:3 of paper to plastics (ie weight percentage 70%: 30%).
  • the outer paper cup 2 provides greater structural strength and is convenient for printing and the incorporation, or application, of marketing features. Recycled paper may be adopted in consideration of environmental protection and cost effectiveness.
  • the plastics inner cup which will contact with the contents of the composite cup structure, may eliminate concerns on food sanitation or safety.
  • the rims of both the inner plastics cup 1 and the outer paper cup 2 are provided with outwards curled edges 11, 21.
  • the curled edge 11 of the inner plastics cup 1 is slightly larger than the curled edge 21 of the outer paper cup 2.
  • a flat surface F is provided on the top of the curled edge 11 so that packaging required for heat sealing may achieve higher levels of air-tightness to ensure that the contents sealed in the composite cup structure are fully isolated from the outside air to prevent oxidation.
  • An extension sheet, or member, 12 of any geometric shape may be providedd on the curled edge 11.
  • the extension sheet 12 extends from the curled edge 11 towards the cup bottom, as shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the inner plastics cup 1 may be made of PP (Polypropylene), PS (Polystyrene), PLA (Polylactide,), PE (Polyethylene) or PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate).
  • PP Polypropylene
  • PS Polystyrene
  • PLA Polylactide
  • PE Polyethylene
  • PET Polyethylene Terephthalate
  • the curled edge 11 of the inner plastics cup 1 is spread, then the outer paper cup 2 is sleeved onto the inner plastic cup 1, such that the curled edge 11 of the inner plastic cup 1 can cover the curled edge 21 of the outer paper cup 2.
  • the inner plastics cup 1 may eliminate possible leakage, thereby providing a composite cup structure with excellent heat-insulation, leak-proofing and strength and little or no condensation.
  • the outer paper cup 2 of the composite cup structure may be suitable for printing and marketing due to its excellent structural strength or the surface properties it provides.
  • the extension sheet 12 on the curled edge 11 of the inner plastic cup 1 may be pulled up such that the inner plastics cup 1 and the outer paper cup 2 can be readily separated for independent use.
  • the composite cup structure may be manufactured by combining two containers of different materials, without the need of any glue or adhesive.
  • the extension sheet 12 can be used to allow easy separation of the inner plastics cup 1 and outer paper cup 2 for subsequent classification and recycling.
  • the extension sheet 12 on the curled edge 11 of the inner plastics cup 1 which may take the form of a tab, can be any desired shape, such as: tear drop, convex, round, polygonal and rectangular.
  • various forms of opening(s) 22 may be provided in the body of outer paper cup 2.
  • the opening(s) 22 may, for example, be oval, banded, diamond-shaped, rectangular, round or straight. This may allow the contents of the inner plastics cup 1 to be seen, to promote marketing, without affecting the air-tightness and integrity of the composite cup structure.
  • the curled edge 11 on the rim of the inner plastic cup 1 may be sealed with an adhesive film 13.
  • the flat surface F is provided on the top of the curled edge 11 to facilitate sealing, such as heat-sealing, so that the sealed contents are fully isolated from the outside air to avoid oxidation.
  • a heat-insulating layer 3 may be provided between the inner plastics cup 1 and outer paper cup 2.
  • the heat-insulating layer 3 may be a plastics-foamed layer formed around the body of inner plastics cup 1 and may be made of the same plastics material.
  • the curled edge 11 on the rim of the inner plastics cup 1 is sealed with a sealing layer, such as an adhesive film, so that the contents are fully isolated from contact with the air to prevent oxidation.
  • the inner plastics cup may be provided with more than one extension member, for example, two oppositely disposed extension members.
