Definitions

  • the drinking vessel is designed to contain beverages or liquid foods for drinking or consumption.
  • the drinking vessel may include one or more primary walls, a lip, a base, and one or more primary walls disposed between the lip and the base.
  • a cavity may be formed in one or more of the primary walls, lip and base. The cavity may extend from each portion of the one or more primary walls to its opposite portion, and from the top face of the base of the lip of the drinking vessel.
  • FIGS. 1-8 show an exemplary cylindrical drinking vessel with embedded pass-through chamber.
  • FIGS. 9-16 show an exemplary square drinking vessel with embedded pass-through chamber, with the pass-through chamber positioned at an angle to the primary side walls.
  • FIGS. 17-24 show an exemplary square drinking vessel with embedded pass-through chamber, with the pass-through chamber positioned orthogonally to the primary side walls.
  • a drinking glass or vessel with an embedded pass-through chamber including one or more primary walls, a lip, a base, and one or more primary walls disposed between the lip and the base.
  • a cavity is formed in one or more of the primary walls, lip and base. The cavity may extend from each portion of the one or more primary walls to its opposite portion, and from the top face of the base of the lip of the drinking vessel.
  • the drinking vessel may be a beaker, beer glassware, coffee cup, jar, mug, stemware, teacup, or tumbler, but preferably, the drinking vessel is of a type used for the drinking of spirits, for example, but not limited to, whiskey, tequila, liqueurs, carbonated beverages, or any other suitable beverages.
  • the drinking vessel may be formed of glass, or of any other suitable material such as metal, plastic, or ceramic.
  • the drinking vessel may be of any conventional dimensions, but may be large enough to contain a block of ice approximately two (2) inches diameter in the case of a sphere or two (2) inches cubed in the case of a cube. The drinking vessel is also small enough such that it can be held by a user with one hand.
  • the drinking vessel may have one or more primary walls, a lip, and a base, with the one or more primary walls disposed between the lip and the base.
  • a cavity is formed by the one or more primary walls, lip, and base. The cavity extends from each portion of the one or more primary walls to its opposite portion, and from the top face of the base to the lip of the drinking vessel.
  • the one or more primary walls have an outer face and an inner face, with the inner face oriented toward the cavity and the outer face designed to be held by the user.
  • the one or more primary walls may be single-walled, in which case no air pocket is disposed between the inner and outer faces.
  • the one or more primary walls are double-walled, such that an air pocket is disposed between the inner and outer faces, thereby reducing the heat transfer coefficient, impeding the warmth of the user’s hand from melting any ice disposed within the cavity, as well as impeding the user’s hand from getting burnt by any hot liquid contained therein.
  • the drinking vessel may be substantially cylindrical, squared or any other suitable shape, and therefore encompasses a perimeter extended over the height of the drinking vessel. This perimeter, by extending over the height of the drinking vessel, may form the one or more primary walls.
  • the shape may be truly cylindrical, in having a circular cross-section, or the cross section may be polygonal, with three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, or ten sides. Any two given sides may extend toward each other and merge at side junctions.
  • the junctures may have small radii, less than a tenth of an inch - in other words, the junctures may be substantially unrounded. Alternatively, the junctures may have large radii, producing a substantially rounded-polygonal cross-section.
  • a truly cylindrical cross-section will have no sides, and therefore no side junctures, but instead one single circumference.
  • the perimeter may change its radius, in the case of it being substantially circumferential, or average width, in the case of the cross-section being polygonal, as it extends from the base to the lip.
  • the perimeter may increases as it passes along the primary walls away from the base toward the middle of the primary walls. In one variation, the perimeter continues to increase as it passes along the primary walls from the middle to the lip. In another variation, the perimeter decreases as it passes along the middle to the lip, in order to provide the relatively narrow lip common in snifters.
  • the drinking vessel base may be weighted - an effect achieved by increasing the thickness of the base relative to the drinking vessel primary walls.
  • the base has a top and bottom face, with the top face oriented toward a drinking vessel cavity, which is formed at least by the one or more primary walls and base of the drinking vessel.
  • the bottom face may be oriented toward any hard surface that the drinking vessel may be placed upon, such as a table, nightstand, chair, or the floor.
  • the bottom and/or top face may each be essentially contoured, with the bottom face being concave, and the top face being concave, convex, or neither concave nor convex.
  • the base features a stem, in which a column, which may be straight or curved, connects the top face and the bottom face.
  • the one or more primary walls extend from the drinking vessel base to the drinking vessel lip.
  • the lip is configured to touch the lips of the user when the user drinks from the drinking vessel, and is therefore preferably smooth and rounded, with the rounded shape continuing around the lip from the outer face of the one or more primary walls to the inner face.
  • the drinking vessel includes a pass-through chamber, which is configured to receive and support a cigar.
  • the pass-through chamber may be embedded in the one or more primary walls, passing from one position of the one or more primary walls to another position.
  • the chamber is preferably not embedded to pass from one position to another such that it passes through the very center of the cavity, because by passing through the center of the cavity, it would be difficult to deposit the block of ice previously mentioned.
  • the pass-through chamber is disposed off-center, as seen from a cross-sectional view of the drinking vessel.
  • the pass-through chamber may pass from one position of the one or more primary walls to another position such that a central axis of the chamber is substantially parallel with the base or the hard surface on which the drinking vessel may be placed.
  • This parallel orientation is at least to impede the cigar from sliding out of the chamber when the drinking vessel is being held or placed on a hard surface.
  • the pass-through chamber features an inner wall and an outer wall.
  • the outer wall of the pass-through chamber may be identical to the inner wall of the one or more primary walls, if the primary walls are single-walled.
  • the inner wall of the pass-through chamber forms and is oriented toward the chamber cavity, which is sized to receive and support the shaft of a cigar.
  • the inner wall of the pass-through chamber may feature one or more grooves or ridges in order to grip the cigar, and to impede it from sliding out of the chamber when the drinking vessel is tilted by the user while its contents are being imbibed.
  • the pass-through chamber cross-section is preferably cylindrical, but it is conceivable that the cross-section may also be square or triangular, with these latter shapes configured to better grip the cigar.
  • the two positions in which the pass-through chamber passes through the one or more primary walls may each operate as openings into which the cigar may be inserted. The openings are agnostic with respect to the directionality of the cigar placement, such that the cigar may be inserted through one position with the tip of the cigar extending through the other, or vice versa.
  • the two positions are disposed on opposite walls, so that the pass-through chamber is orthogonal to each of the opposite walls but parallel to the remaining two walls, being closer to one of the remaining two walls and further from the other.
  • the two positions are disposed on adjacent walls, such that the pass-through chamber is at an angle from the plane of each of the opposite walls, with the two angles of intersection adding up to ninety degrees. Preferably, the angles of intersection are 45 degrees each. In this embodiment, the juncture between the two adjacent walls falls on one side of the pass-through chamber and the center of the drinking vessel cavity falls on the other.
  • the pass-through chamber may also be double-walled, in order to reduce the formation of condensation on the inner face, which may have the effect of drenching the cigar, thereby causing the cigar leaf to unravel.
  • the inner face of the pass-through chamber must have a cross-section diameter suited to receiving a cigar, and therefore ranging between 34 to 54 gauge.
  • the cross-section diameter for the chamber may be made to match a particular cigar gauge, and may have a range between 30-34, 35- 39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64 gauge.
  • the cross-section must have a continuous length of at least half an inch, but preferably at least a full inch. It is important to recognize that the pass- through chamber is not a handle, and is not designed to receive the user’s finger.
  • the drinking vessel with embedded pass-through chamber may be made by melting glass into a molten state, then blowing and shaping it with various tools. The glass may be blown around a stand-in prop, the stand-in prop having the desired shape of the pass-through chamber. Once the glass has solidified, the stand-in prop may be removed. Alternatively, the drinking vessel may be made normally, but before the glass hardens, a hole may be cut in each of two sides, the remaining circumferences of which are then melded together.
  • Figs. 1-8 show a drinking vessel with a cylindrical cross-section.
  • the drinking vessel 2 has a primary wall 4 connecting the lip 6 from the base 8.
  • a pass through chamber 10 is embedded in the primary wall.
  • the pass-through chamber may be substantially parallel with the base.
