DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a handle for a disposable cup, and more particularly to a handle for a disposable cup which can be easily attached to and detached from the handle of the cup and which can be used repeatedly.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Disposable cups, such as paper cups and plastic cups, are used in vending machines, vacationers, offices, and the like, and are inseparable in today's life.

[0003]

However, disposable cups such as paper cups and plastic cups do not have a thicker side wall than pottery cups and the like. Was difficult to hold, and in some cases there was a risk of burns. For this reason, a disposable cup (especially a paper cup) which has a handle attached to a side face of the disposable cup by conventional means such as bonding has been proposed and used.

[0004] However, in the above proposal, a process for attaching a handle to a disposable cup such as a paper cup or a plastic cup is added, which causes an increase in product cost and an increase in product price.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a handle for a disposable cup that can be easily attached to and detached from the handle and that can be used repeatedly.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems A handle for a disposable cup according to the present invention which has been made to solve the above problems, comprises:
A bottom support for supporting the bottom of the disposable cup, and a connection extending from the bottom support to above the disposable cup;
It is provided on the upper part of the connection part, and is constituted by an arc-shaped upper support part fitted to a part of an edge part provided on the upper part of the disposable cup, and a handle part provided on the connection part. And

Preferably, the lower support portion has a ring shape, and has a V-shaped cross section so as to sandwich an extended portion formed by extending a side wall of the disposable cup downward. The lower support portion preferably has a ring shape and has an L-shaped cross section so as to support the bottom circumferential portion of the disposable cup.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of a handle for a disposable cup according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. First, an embodiment of a handle for a disposable cup according to the present invention used for a paper cup will be described. Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a handle for a disposable cup according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view of FIG.

In these figures, reference numeral 1 denotes a handle for a disposable cup according to the present invention. The disposable cup handle 1 includes a bottom support 11 for supporting the bottom of the paper cup 2, a connection 12 extending from the bottom support 11 to above the paper cup 2, and a paper cup provided on top of the connection 12. Edge 22 provided on top of 2
An upper supporting portion 13 fitted to a part of the connecting portion;
And a handle portion 13 provided at the bottom.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bottom support portion 11 has a ring shape, and has a V-shaped cross section so as to sandwich an extended portion 21 formed by extending the side wall of the paper cup 2 downward. No. Thereby, the bottom of the paper cup 2 can be stably supported.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the upper support portion 13 has an edge portion 2 provided on an upper portion of the paper cup 2. As shown in FIG.
2 is formed so as to be fitted with a part of it. Further, the connecting portion 12 is a thin plate provided between the lower supporting portion 11 and the upper supporting portion 13. A handle 14 held by the user of the paper cup 2 is provided at a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction of the connecting portion 12.

Next, a method of using the handle for a disposable cup according to the present invention will be described. First, the extended portion 21 formed at the bottom of the paper cup 2 is sandwiched between the bottom support portions 11, and the upper support portion 13 is fitted to the edge portion 22 formed on the upper portion of the paper cup 2, thereby forming the paper cup 2. On the other hand, the handle 1 for a disposable cup can be attached.
At this time, when the edge portion 22 is pressed against the upper support portion 13, the upper support portion 13 curves rightward in FIG. 2 and the edge portion 22 naturally enters the upper support portion 13. The cup 2 can be easily attached to the handle 1.

When the handle for a disposable cup according to the present invention is to be removed, the upper supporting portion 13 is lifted up by holding the handle portion 14 so that the edge 22 of the paper cup 2 and the upper supporting portion 13 are connected. Release mating. Then, by removing the extended portion 21 of the paper cup 2 sandwiched between the bottom support portions 11, the disposable cup handle 1 is removed from the paper cup 2.
Can be easily removed from.

In the above embodiment, the paper cup 2 has been described as a disposable cup. Next, another embodiment using the plastic cup 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG.

The plastic cup 3 is different from the paper cup 2 in that the extended portion 21 of the side wall is not formed at the bottom.
For this reason, the cross section of the bottom support 11 is formed in an L-shape.
The other configuration is the same as that of the above embodiment, and the description is omitted. With this configuration, the bottom of the plastic cup can be stably supported by the bottom support.

[0016]

According to the handle for a disposable cup according to the present invention, by adopting the above-described structure, the attachment and detachment of the cup to and from the cup handle are very simple, and the user can be transmitted from the beverage. Since it can be protected from heat, the manufacturing cost of the disposable cup can be reduced.
