Description

The present invention relates to a cup and a support member.

A cup such as a wine glass has a pedestal part with a wide bottom fixed to a rod-shaped leg, so that it can be placed stably on a table or the like.

Registered utility model No. 3232419

However, conventional cups do not necessarily meet the needs of users in the usage situations. For example, in a dining venue such as a buffet party, it is necessary to keep a drink cup in one hand. If you hold a cup in one hand, it will interfere with various movements, such as when eating and drinking other food or exchanging business cards. Also, at such parties, the person repeatedly moves from one place to another while holding a cup of drink in one hand, and places the cup on the table, so if the alcohol gets too intoxicating, one's hands may become unsteady. You may even accidentally spill your drink.

Further, in order to prevent the cup from falling over, the base of the conventional cup has a certain amount of weight, which makes the cup as a whole heavy and becomes a burden when lifting it.

The present invention was made to solve at least one of the above problems, and aims to provide a cup and cup-related items that meet the needs of users in specific usage situations.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the cup and support member of the present application will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, similar configurations may be given the same reference numerals and the description thereof may be omitted. The following embodiments are illustrative for explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention to the following contents. The present invention can be implemented with appropriate modifications within the scope of its gist.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a cup according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, a cup 100 is a container for drinking a drink, such as a wine glass. The cup 100 includes a storage section 10 that stores a drink, and a posture holding section 20 provided at the lower part of the storage section 10. By fixing or inserting the posture holding section 20 into a support member, the storage section 10 can be Contents can be kept in a nearly horizontal state.

A support member is a member that supports the cup to keep it stable, and may be a holder for fixing one cup or a holder for fixing multiple cups, or a piece of clothing or clothing into which the cup can be inserted. It can also be in the pocket of your bag. FIGS. 1A and 1B show a support member 200 (pedestal 60) having a hole into which the lower end of the rod-shaped posture holding part 20 is inserted and fixed. Furthermore, the term "nearly horizontal state" refers to a state in which less than about 80% of the volume of liquid is filled inside the container 10 without spilling. Additionally, a lid may be provided over the drinking spout to prevent spillage.

FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) are diagrams showing a modification of the cup shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), the cups 100a and 100b have an annular handle 12a extending downward from the center of the outer surface of the accommodating portions 10a and 10b (the center of the bottom and the spout), The cup 100a, 100b can be held by inserting one to four fingers into the ring between the outer surface of the accommodating portion 10a, 10b and the handle 12a. Note that the handle 12a may have a shape other than the annular shape shown in this figure, a substantially semicircular plate shape, a handle with a projection on which a finger can be placed, or a plurality of handles. Good too.

In conventional mugs, the handle was placed between the drinking spout and the bottom, but as shown in FIG. It can be provided below the center of the bottle (between the bottom and the spout). In addition, the lower part of the handle 12a is closer to the rod-shaped body side (the cup center axis side), and the lower part of the finger supports the vicinity of the center, resulting in good balance and less strain on the fingers.

Conventional glass handles had a structure in which they were supported only by the fingers placed on the handle, but with the shape shown in Figures 2(a) and (b), it is easy to apply force to lift the glass from below. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 2(a), the handle 12a is located below the height of 2/3 (line B) of the 100% capacity entering the storage portion 10a, preferably at a height of 1/2 (line A). It may be provided further down. Further, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the handle 12b is located below the height (line B) of 2/3 from the bottom of the entire vertical length of the storage portion 10b, preferably at a height of 1/2 (line A). ) can be installed below. In addition, by supporting the bottom part with your little finger, ring finger, or middle finger, the inside of the ring of the handle can be held stably and easily with just one finger. This makes it possible to create a smart shape that is easy to handle and has a small outer diameter and is not bulky.

FIG. 2(b) shows a cup 100b having a structure in which the posture holding part 20b is integrated with the accommodating part 10b whose lower end is tapered (the bottom part is approximately in the shape of an inverted cone). A conventional cup, like a beer mug, for example, has a U-shaped handle on the outer surface of a cylindrical container. When viewed from above, the handle is provided so as to protrude outward from the area occupied by the accommodating portion. When you grasp the handle and try to keep the cup horizontal, the inner top surface (upper base) of the handle becomes the fulcrum, the center (center of gravity) of the cup becomes the point of action, and the part where you grip the handle becomes the point of effort. In conventional cups, the distance from the center (center of gravity) of the cup to the inner top surface of the handle is long (for example, in a cylindrical beer mug, the distance is a radius of the cylinder), so more rotational force is applied. It requires more force than necessary to support the cup in parallel. On the other hand, in the cup 100b of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2(b), the inner upper surface C (fulcrum) of the handle is close to the center (center of gravity D) of the cup 100b, so the weight of the cup is less than the center of the cup. By having the handle support closer (shorter), there is less rotational force and less force is needed to support the cup in parallel.
Also, as mentioned above, by supporting the bottom with your little finger, ring finger, or middle finger, the center of gravity of the cup will be closer to the center. It is light because there is no pedestal. Together, these factors make it possible to hold the grip stably for a long time.

The cup 100b having such a structure can be stably erected on a tapered support base or the like as described later in FIG. 4. Conventional mugs and beer cups have flat bottoms, which can make the drink feel uncomfortable at the end, but with a glass shaped like this, the drink flows smoothly to the end.

The accommodating portion 10 and the like have a drinking spout with one end (upper end) open and the other end (lower end) closed. In other words, the storage portion 10 etc. is a depression-shaped portion surrounded by a peripheral wall portion between the open end and the closed end and a closed portion of the closed end, and it is possible to keep the liquid inside in a nearly horizontal state. Any shape that can be used is fine.

A lid may be provided at the drinking spout, which is the upper end of the accommodating portion 10 and the like. As shown in the figure, the lower end of the accommodating part 10 and the like forms a closed end of the accommodating part 10 and the like, and is joined to the upper end of the posture holding part 20 and the like.

The accommodating part 10 and the like and the posture holding part 20 and the like may be formed integrally, or may be formed separately and then connected.

The housing portion 10, etc. and the posture holding portion 20, etc. may be made of the same and integral type, or may be made of different materials. When using plastics as the same material, plastics having different hardnesses may be used. When different materials are used, for example, a combination of glass and plastic, glass and metal, plastic and metal, etc. may be used. Moreover, the accommodating portion 10 may have a double wall structure made of metal, plastic, or glass, for example. Note that the posture holding section 20 and the like are preferably formed of a harder material than the housing section 10 and the like.

The accommodating portion 10 and the like are made of, for example, a translucent material, such as plastic resin, and more preferably organic glass. Organic glass means a transparent resin, and includes polycarbonate resin, polyester resin, acrylic resin, and the like. For example, Tritan (registered trademark) is used for the accommodating portion 10 and the like. A portion or the entirety of the housing portion 10 and the like may be colored. Colors may be applied to the above-mentioned organic glass, ABS resin, polypropylene resin, etc., and stains and scratches are less noticeable than when they are completely transparent.

Furthermore, by using such a plastic material, the cup is light and difficult to break, making it easy to handle for parties and the like. It can also be washed in the dishwasher. Furthermore, unlike glass containers, there is less heat conduction, so the temperature of the drink is easily maintained, and condensation is less likely to occur, making it less likely that clothes will get wet. Furthermore, by making the housing part have a double wall structure, condensation can be further suppressed.

When the housing section 10 and the like are formed separately, the housing section 10 and the like are connected by a fitting part and the like. The fitting part may have a structure in which a projection attached to the bottom of the housing part 10 etc. and a protrusion attached to the upper end of the posture holding part 20 etc. fit into each other by applying pressure, or by twisting the fitting part. The structure may be such that the groove attached to the bottom of the posture holding part 20 or the like and the groove attached to the upper end of the posture holding part 20 or the like fit into each other. In order to more securely connect the mating parts, for example, a bonding tape such as an adhesive or double-sided tape may be used.

Although the shape of the posture holding parts 20 and 20a shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is substantially rod-shaped, the posture holding part of the drinking cup according to the present embodiment may have a substantially planar shape, an annular shape, or a shape other than a substantially rod shape. It may be a combination. Further, the posture holding section 20 and the like may be formed in a hollow cylindrical shape, or may be formed solidly.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a modification of the posture holding section of the cup shown in FIG. 1. The cup 100c shown in FIG. 3(a) includes a housing portion 10c and a long and thin posture holding portion 20c. The long posture holding portion 20c is easy to hold in the hand, and when inserted into a pocket of clothing, has the effect of preventing the device from falling sideways and can maintain a nearly horizontal state. The length of the posture holding portion 20c is 90 to 170 mm, preferably 100 to 150 mm.

The cup 100d shown in FIG. 3(b) includes an accommodating portion 10d and a posture holding portion 20d, and the posture holding portion 20d includes an upper end substantially rod portion 21d, a circular annular portion 22d, and a lower end substantially rod portion 23d. including. When the posture holding part 20d is held in the hand, the circular annular part 22d serves as the holding part, and by inserting one to four fingers into the ring, the cup 100d can be stably held. Further, if the circular annular portion 22d has a shape that matches the pocket of clothing, it will be stable when inserted into the pocket of clothing, and can serve as a sideways fall prevention portion 30d. The diameter of the inner circumference of the ring is 30 to 100 mm, preferably 30 to 70 mm. In addition to the circular ring shown in FIG. 3(b), the shape of the handheld part may be a triangle, a square, other polygons, or a star shape or a heart shape, and may be rounded. It may also have a shape with a pointed corner, or may be annular or substantially planar. Moreover, it may be hollow or solid. Furthermore, when inserting into a clothing pocket, it is preferable that the shape matches the clothing pocket.

The cup 100e shown in FIG. 3(c) includes an accommodating portion 10e and a posture holding portion 20e, and the posture holding portion 20e includes an upper end substantially rod portion 21e, a square annular portion 22e, and a lower end substantially rod portion 23e. include. When the posture holding part 20e is held in the hand, the square annular part 22e serves as the part to hold the cup, and by inserting one to four fingers into the ring, the cup can be stably held. Further, if the rectangular annular portion 22e has a shape that matches the pocket of clothing, it can serve as a sideways fall prevention portion 30e when inserted into the pocket of clothing. In addition to the square ring shown in Figure 3(c), the shape of the handheld portion may be a circle, a triangle, a quadrilateral, other polygons, or a star or heart shape. It may have a shape with a sharp corner, a shape with a pointed corner, a ring shape, or a substantially planar shape. Moreover, it may be hollow or solid. Furthermore, when inserting into a clothing pocket, it is preferable that the shape matches the clothing pocket.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a tapered support member 200f according to the present invention. The tapered support member 200f shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b) includes a tapered portion 40f and a pedestal portion 60f. The tapered portion 40f is a cylindrical portion that gradually becomes thicker toward the upper end, and the pedestal portion 60f is a disc-shaped member that supports the cylindrical tapered portion 40f at its bottom. The tapered portion 40f has a shape that is cut diagonally from the middle portion toward the upper end portion. That is, the edge of the opening of the tapered portion 40f is inclined in the range of 80 degrees to 10 degrees, preferably 70 degrees to 20 degrees, with respect to the horizontal plane of the bottom when the support member 200f is placed. Therefore, even when viewed from the horizontal direction, the opening of the cylindrical portion appears to widen into a large trumpet shape. The broken line L1 in FIG. 4(d) represents the inclination angle of the cut surface of the cylindrical portion.
Moreover, it may gradually spread outward and actually spread in a trumpet shape. In that case, the end of the edge of the opening of the cylindrical portion is 70 degrees to -10 degrees (reverse warp state), preferably 60 degrees to 0 degrees, with respect to the horizontal plane of the bottom when the support member is placed. It is sloped in a range of degrees. The broken line L2 in FIG. 4(d) shows the inclination in such a case, and shows a shape that is curved in the opposite direction at the extreme end to form a nearly horizontal surface.

The lower end of the tapered cylindrical portion may be closed or open. If it is open, water droplets on the cold glass can be removed. At this time, a water droplet absorbent may be placed at the lower end. The accommodating portion 10f and the posture holding portion 20f fit into the tapered support member with a widened glass socket, forming the cup 100f in a standing position. The drinker only needs to slide the posture holding part 20f into the tapered part 40f, so it can be used in situations such as a buffet party where it is difficult to pay attention to the glass (for example, when the drinker is concentrating on a conversation, or when the drinker is too drunk from alcohol and is unable to focus on the glass). Even in situations where the user is in a situation where the drink is not spilled, the glass can be propped up on the table without spilling the drink. Furthermore, when the cup is inserted, the support member holds a part of the outer surface of the cup accommodating part in contact with the inner surface of the cylindrical part, so that the cup can be stably kept stationary. .

The pedestal portion 60f has a circular shape. The shape of the pedestal may be an ellipse or a polygon, and the size can be determined by making it as large as possible, for example, 30 mm to 130 mm, preferably 40 mm to 110 mm, in terms of circular diameter. Further, a plurality of tapered portions may be provided on one pedestal.

Furthermore, since the tapered portion 40f shown in FIGS. 4(a) and 4(b) has a shape in which the upper end is largely cut diagonally, the drinker can easily see the accommodating portion 10f from the cut side, and the drinker can easily see the accommodating portion 10f from the cut side. Easy to check quantity. Another advantage is that it is easy to take out the housing portion 10f by hand. Note that the tapered portion may have a shape that does not cut the upper end.

FIG. 4(c) shows an example in which a cup with a handle as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b) is made to stand on the tapered portion 40f. The handle may not be annular as shown in FIGS. 2(a) and 2(b), it may be a roughly semicircular plate type, or it may have a protrusion on which to place the finger. It needs to be shaped so that it does not get stuck in the tapered part when inserted into the part, and it needs to be in a position that does not overlap the inner surface of the tapered part.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example in which the lower end of the posture holding portion 20g is plate-shaped. As shown in FIG. 5, the semicircular plate 30g is connected at the lower end of the posture holding section 20g by a rotary connecting section that can rotate up and down and left and right in a direction approximately perpendicular to the posture holding section 20g. There is. In addition, the two support members may be locked in a position perpendicular to the posture holding part 20g (first state), or in a position where the surfaces of the two support members are parallel to the posture holding part 20g while remaining parallel (second state). ) is equipped with a locking part so that it can be locked. Then, the lock is released by a predetermined force, and the two can be rotated to each other's positions. When the two support members move until they are perpendicular to the posture holding portion 20g, they become horizontal pedestals, and the cup 100g is in a standing state (first state). In addition, when the two support members are parallel to the posture holding section 20g (second state) and inserted into the clothing pocket together with the posture holding section 20g, the sideways fall prevention section is inserted into the clothing pocket. It can happen. The shape of the plate 30g may be, for example, triangular or quadrangular. Furthermore, a hollow plate with a shape around the plate, or a shape imitating a character, figure, or photograph, for example, may be used.

In order to prevent the plate 30g (lateral fall prevention part) from moving in a state of being folded parallel to the posture holding part 20g, a fitting part may be provided for fixing the posture holding part 20g and the plate 30g. The fitting part may have a structure in which, for example, the protrusion attached to the posture holding part 20g and the protrusion attached to the sideways fall prevention part 30g are engaged with each other by applying pressure, or a magnet may be attached to the posture holding part 20g and the plate 30g, respectively. The structure may be such that it is fixed.

By inserting the portion 20n into these holes, the cup 100n is in a standing position. The position higher than the main body may be a position where the lower end of the posture holding part 20n just touches the table or does not touch the table when the posture holding part 20n is inserted into the plurality of holes (receiving parts) 72n. The shape of the tray portion 80n is not limited to a quadrangle, but may be another polygon, a circle, an ellipse, a star shape, or the like. The position of the receiving portions may be not only on one side, but may be on multiple sides, on a curved line, arranged in multiple rows, or randomly. If such a tray-shaped support member is used, drinks and food can be served on the tray at the same time, for example, at a buffet party or a self-service restaurant. In addition, food and drinks can be carried together on a tray, and when carried or placed on a table, it is non-slip and prevents drinks from spilling. You can also stack trays that are not in use. This is particularly useful when multiple people are purchasing food services (self-service restaurants) at airports or train stations, where they have to split up purchases from multiple stores. Further, when placing the cups, they are naturally placed in the support member, so it is possible to avoid having a plurality of cups scattered on the table. Here, the posture holding part 20n is shown as having a rod-shaped body with a handle, but for example, it may be a rod-shaped body only, or the handle part may have a posture holding function, so that it can be held with both hands. It may have two or more handles.
