Description

DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION

Bandeja portacopas. Cup tray

OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN 5 OBJECT OF THE INVENTION 5

Es objeto de la presente invención, tal y como el título de la invención establece, una bandeja que permite portar una o varias copas, suspendidas de la bandeja, lo que redunda en una mejor estabilidad en la sujeción y portabilidad de las copas. It is an object of the present invention, as the title of the invention establishes, a tray that allows carrying one or several cups, suspended from the tray, which results in a better stability in the holding and portability of the cups.

10  10

Caracteriza a la presente invención la especial configuración, diseño y materiales que se emplean en el diseño y construcción de la bandeja, que hacen de la misma un medio ideal para la sujeción de manera estable de varias copas de modo simultáneo. The present invention characterizes the special configuration, design and materials that are used in the design and construction of the tray, which make it an ideal means for stably holding several cups simultaneously.

Por lo tanto, la presente invención se circunscribe dentro del ámbito de las bandejas, y de manera más precisa 15 dentro del ámbito de las bandejas con medios para portar copas. Therefore, the present invention is limited within the scope of the trays, and more precisely within the scope of the trays with means for carrying cups.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

En el estado de la técnica son de sobra conocidas las bandejas utilizadas por camareros y similares para transporte 20 de entre otros elementos tales como copas. In the state of the art, trays used by waiters and the like for transport 20 among other elements such as cups are well known.

Las copas cuentan con un pie que conecta la parte cóncava, donde se aloja la bebida, con la superficie de apoyo. Esta particular configuración las hace especialmente inestables en posición vertical, particularmente cuando son transportadas en una bandeja. 25 The cups have a foot that connects the concave part, where the drink is housed, with the support surface. This particular configuration makes them especially unstable in an upright position, particularly when they are transported in a tray. 25

Por otro lado, cuando se quieren transportar varias copas de manera simultánea en una bandeja, la estabilidad de las copas está en juego por su propia configuración, lo que dificulta, incluso hace rehusar el transporte de varias copas de un modo simultáneo. On the other hand, when you want to transport several cups simultaneously in a tray, the stability of the cups is at stake due to its own configuration, which makes it difficult, even to refuse the transport of several cups simultaneously.

30  30

En otras ocasiones se pretende transportar o sujetar una o varias copas sin bandeja a la vez que un aperitivo y/o una servilleta, por ejemplo en un cóctel, teniendo que coger la copa con una mano y el aperitivo con la otra, no siendo posible el consumo del aperitivo; hacerlo con una sola mano se hace bastante difícil, por lo que alguna copa debe inclinarse, con el consiguiente peligro de derrame del líquido contenido en el interior. On other occasions, it is intended to transport or hold one or several cups without a tray, as well as a snack and / or a napkin, for example in a cocktail, having to take the cup with one hand and the snack with the other, not being possible snack consumption; Doing it with one hand is quite difficult, so that a cup should be tilted, with the consequent danger of spilling the liquid contained inside.

35  35

Por lo tanto, es objeto de la presente invención desarrollar una bandeja que permita transportar o sujetar copas y que supere los inconvenientes apuntados de la dificultad de mantener el equilibrio de las mismas sobre una bandeja y poder transportar varias copas de manera simultánea a la vez que permitir sujetar un aperitivo y/o servilletas de papel junto con la copa, desarrollando una bandeja portacopas tal y como a continuación se describe y queda recogido en su esencialidad en la reivindicación primera. 40 Therefore, it is the object of the present invention to develop a tray that allows to transport or hold cups and that overcomes the pointed disadvantages of the difficulty of maintaining the balance thereof on a tray and to be able to transport several glasses simultaneously while simultaneously allow to hold a snack and / or paper napkins together with the cup, developing a cup tray as described below and is collected in its essentiality in the first claim. 40

DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Es objeto de la presente invención una bandeja portacopas, entendiendo por bandeja cualquier superficie de cualquier forma y perfil, pudiendo ser plana, cóncava o convexa, que cuenta con medios para soportar una copa de 45 manera estable. The object of the present invention is a cup tray, any tray being understood as any surface of any shape and profile, being able to be flat, concave or convex, which has means to support a cup in a stable manner.

Los medios de soporte de la copa de manera estable consisten en un canal o ranura que discurre desde el borde de la bandeja hacia el interior de la misma y que preferentemente conecta con un hueco. The support means of the cup stably consist of a channel or groove that runs from the edge of the tray into it and preferably connects with a hole.

50  fifty

El canal o ranura puede tener un ancho constante y presentar una línea directriz o eje recto, curvo o inclinado, siendo su ancho superior al del pie de la copa para que éste pueda discurrir por el canal. En caso de que cuente con un hueco, estará dispuesto al final del canal o ranura y tendrá un ancho mayor que el ancho del canal con el fin de obtener una doble finalidad, por un lado, alojar parte del recipiente cóncavo contenedor del líquido, y por otro lado, servir de apoyo a la copa evitando que, por cualquier motivo, ésta pudiera discurrir involuntariamente por el canal o 55 ranura hasta salirse de la bandeja sin previamente haber levantado la copa para que su pie pueda discurrir por el canal. The channel or groove may have a constant width and have a straight, curved or inclined guideline or axis, its width being greater than the foot of the cup so that it can run through the channel. In the event that it has a hole, it will be arranged at the end of the channel or slot and will have a width greater than the width of the channel in order to obtain a double purpose, on the one hand, housing part of the concave container containing the liquid, and on the other hand, to support the cup avoiding that, for any reason, it could run unintentionally through the channel or groove until it left the tray without having previously lifted the cup so that your foot can run through the channel.

El hueco interior dispuesto en el final del canal o ranura, puede estar centrado respecto del canal o ligeramente adosado, con la finalidad de servir como medio de seguridad adicional ya que no solamente hay que levantar la copa 60 para que el pie pueda discurrir por la ranura o canal, sino que también habría que desplazar la copa hasta encaminar el pie en el canal. The inner hollow disposed at the end of the channel or groove, can be centered with respect to the channel or slightly attached, with the purpose of serving as an additional safety means since not only the cup 60 must be lifted so that the foot can run through the slot or channel, but the cup should also be moved until the foot is routed in the channel.

Opcionalmente, y con objeto de favorecer el asiento de la copa sobre el canal o ranura, éste puede tener las paredes interiores dispuestas de forma inclinada, hacia el interior, lo que favorece en el asiento de la copa sobre la 65 ranura. Optionally, and in order to favor the seat of the cup on the channel or groove, it can have the interior walls arranged inclined, towards the inside, which favors in the cup seat on the groove.

Los materiales para la fabricación de la bandeja objeto de la invención pueden ser cualquiera, desde plásticos y similares hasta cartón que, en al menos una de sus caras y preferentemente la superior, cuente con una capa impermeable que permite que se pueda limpiar tantas veces como se quiera. The materials for the manufacture of the tray object of the invention can be any, from plastics and the like to cardboard which, on at least one of its faces and preferably the upper one, has a waterproof layer that allows it to be cleaned as many times as be loved

La parte superior de la bandeja puede ser tal que incorpore publicidad, de una determinada marca o cualquier tipo de información. The upper part of the tray can be such that it incorporates advertising, of a certain brand or any type of information.

Además, la bandeja puede servir para llevar aperitivos, depositándolos en las zonas libres de la bandeja donde no hay los canales ni los huecos que sirven para sustentar las copas. 10 In addition, the tray can be used to carry snacks, depositing them in the free areas of the tray where there are no channels or holes that are used to support the cups. 10
