Abstract

The retaining filter has a central disc with four holes and a tab that protrudes enough to be easily tweeze by another element of the clamping system. The disc is arranged in a circle of sixteen flexible sheets of elongated trapeze shaped. The eight of the trapezes are larger and are alternating with the remaining eight smaller. The eight large trapezes are anchored inside a glass body.

The present addition includes improvements, extensions and new applications of the main patent referred a filter retainer of ice in glasses, consisting of a device that conveniently inserted by clamp into the glass that is usually used to drink drinks with ice, retains the ice cubes inside the glass preventing it from grab the edges of it and bother lips and teeth at Drink, or even sometimes, undesirably strain into your mouth.

The addition object of this invention has its application in the plastics industry, specifically in plastics for use in hospitality, not discarding its use for other type of hospitality developments with location in others locations.

The purpose of this addendum document is based on providing a set of technical improvements in those ice retaining filters that require better grip and adaptation to the glass, adjusting it better and expanding its Application to all sizes and types of glasses both glass As of other materials. It also aims to achieve greater convenience of use, as well as preventing the retainer from entering to the bottom of the glass or that does not pass through the retainer any rest of ice, lemon pulp, olive or other element by small whatever. Likewise, news is also provided regarding the main document not conditioned on the type of glass used.

The improvements or alternatives introduced in the Patent are as follows:

The first improvement is the addition of a series of vertical legs arranged in a circle on the part bottom of the retainer, thereby achieving that as far as that the blades flex when the retainer is introduced into the vessel, the vertical legs rest on the walls of it, consequently producing a better hold of the device retainer, at the same time that it is held and adapted to all types of glasses.

The second improvement is complementary to the first and consists of wedges like wedges or nipples that are next to the legs, with the purpose of create a stop with the area under the edge internal upper of the vessel and accordingly adjust the filter better retainer to the walls of the glass.

The third improvement refers to the tab located in the upper central area of the retainer, which is adapts now to different shapes and sizes in order to be able to insert and remove the filter from the glass with your hands, dispensing with of the ice tong. Being the tab larger than the one proposed in the original document, it is possible to manipulate it by hand without trouble. Furthermore said tab in the present addition can transform into a handle to remove the retainer filter after use without having to touch with the fingers the retainer that may be in contact with the liquid to be swallowed, in order to be able to be reused, especially in homes. Said handle can be also independent of the tab.

The fourth improvement consists in the establishment of depth levelers that are hooks or grabs located next to the blades that hook at the edges of the vessel improving the retention and centering of the retainer, in addition to prevent the filter from entering too much inside the glass, thereby removing the ice from the lips and damaging the ideal temperature.

A fifth improvement refers to introducing scratches or undulations in the form of fingertips both in the ends of the legs like those of the blades, thus increasing the support points and improving support.

The sixth improvement consists in practicing in the blades either holes or slits in order to improve the passage of the liquid

The seventh and final improvement consists of incorporate perpendicular filaments to the blades to increase the filtered and ensure the retention of ice, lemon pulp or Another fruit, olives, however small.

In order to present an embodiment of the invention are shown below figures in which represents in a practical way the embodiment of the invention described.

An example of preferred embodiment of the invention, this presentation not being but one of the many construction modes that can be carry out for the industrial development of the technique and configuration described previously.

The ice retainer filter in glasses constitutes in this preferred embodiment from the addition of a series of vertical legs (3) arranged in a circle by the bottom of retainer. Some protrusions (4) as a wedges or nipples that are next to the legs (3). The eyelash (1) located in the upper central area of the retainer adapts to Different shapes and sizes.

Depth levelers are established (5) which are hooks or grips located next to the blades (4) that hook on the edges of the glass improving the clamping and centering of the retainer, in addition to preventing the filter is inserted too much inside the glass. Be introduce scratches or undulations (6) in the form of yolks fingers both at the ends of the legs (3) and at the ends of the blades (2), thus increasing the support points and improving the subjection. They are made in the blades (2) either holes (7) or slits (8) in order to improve the passage of the liquid. Be incorporate perpendicular filaments (9) to the blades (2) to increase filtering and ensure ice retention, pulp of Lemon or other fruit, olives however small.

Claims (3)

1. Ice retainer filter in glasses, characterized in that a series of vertical legs arranged in a circle on the bottom of the retainer are added to the main patent, which rest on the walls of the vessel when the blades flex when the retainer is inserted into the glass, adapting this to all types of glasses, and because some bumps like wedges or nipples are placed next to the legs to make a stop with the area that is below the inner upper edge of the glass. The tab located in the upper central area of the retainer adapts to different shapes and sizes of vessels, regardless of the ice clip. Depth levelers, which are hooks or grips located next to the blades, hook at the edges of the vessel, improving the retention and centering of the retainer, as well as preventing the filter from getting too deep inside the vessel. Scratches or undulations are introduced in the form of fingertips both at the ends of the legs and those of the blades, thus increasing the support points and improving the grip. Holes or slits are practiced in the blades in order to improve the passage of the liquid. Strands perpendicular to the blades are incorporated to increase filtration and ensure the retention of ice, lemon pulp or other fruit, olives, however small. 2. Ice retainer filter in vessels, according to claim 1, characterized in that the flange in the present addition can be transformed into a handle to remove the retainer filter after use without having to touch with the fingers the retainer that may be in contact with the liquid to ingest, in order to be reused, especially in homes. 3. Ice retainer filter in vessels according to claim 1, characterized in that the handle is independent of the flange.
