Description

  The present invention is a cup having a handle that is used in general households, and provides a cup that can be used more easily and more securely than a conventional cup.

  The conventional general cup has both the upper and lower ends of the handle joined to the cup of the main body and is in contact only with the bottom surface of the main body, so there is a risk that the contents will fall due to falling.

  Conventional conventional cups have both the upper and lower ends of the handle joined to the cup of the main body, so that it is difficult to stack and there is an inconvenience such as taking up space when stored.

  In the conventional general cup, the upper and lower ends of the handle are joined to the cup of the main body, and the grip part of the handle is small compared to the size of the main body cup, so it can not be gripped with the palm and fingers as a whole, Since the center of gravity is also on the main body side, the elderly and children needed extra power to hold the cup.

  In the conventional general cup, both the upper and lower ends of the handle are joined to the cup of the main body, so depending on the size of the handle, the finger may not fit, the balance when holding it, the finger on the main body is bad In the case of a hot drink, the contents were hot and the fingers were too hot to hold. Moreover, since it contacts only with the bottom face part of the main body, there is a problem in safety such as accidentally falling over. There has been a demand for an easy and safe cup that avoids such a state. An object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-use cup that can be used easily and safely by elderly people and children as well as healthy people.

  As described above, the conventional general cup has a problem that has not been solved yet, so we have sought to solve the problem.

  The cup of the present invention has a handle and a cup body that are grounded so that one end of the handle is joined to the top of the cup and the other end is not joined to the cup and is flush with the bottom of the cup body. And the handle grounding portion are grounded at two points, so that the cup of the present invention can be configured to be more resistant to falling than a conventional general cup.

  The cup handle of the present invention has one end of the handle joined to the top of the cup and the other end is not bonded to the cup, so a step is provided on the upper surface of the cup to which the handle is joined and the body below it. , It has a structure that stacks with the width of the upper surface of the cup to which the handle is joined, so that it could not be stacked with the conventional general cup, but it can be stored with space with the cup of the present invention It was.

  The handle of the cup of the present invention can be held with a triangular onigiri-like cross-sectional shape so that it can be held by the palm and the entire finger when gripping with the palm or finger, and with the thumb of the average human body size and the fingers from the index finger to the little finger Due to the structure that has a length and the distance between the joint of the handle and the cup body is wider than before, the overall center of gravity moves to the handle side, so that it is more muscle than the conventional general cup It is possible to make the cup easy to use even in handling.

  As described in the section on solving the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, one end of the handle is joined to the top of the cup, and the other end is not joined to the cup, and is grounded so as to be flush with the bottom of the cup body. Since it is grounded at two points, the bottom of the main unit and the handle grounding part, it is harder to fall than conventional ordinary cups, and even when drinking high-temperature beverages, it is less likely to spill, so it has a safety effect Could get.

  In the present invention, since one end of the handle is joined to the upper part of the cup and the other end is not adhered to the cup, a step is provided on the upper surface of the cup to which the handle is joined and the main body below it. It has a structure that stacks with the width of the upper surface of the cups that are joined, so that it is possible to store things that can not be stacked and stacked with conventional general cups, and a large space such as a cupboard is required Compared to the conventional general cup, it was effective in space-saving storage.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, when gripping with a palm or a finger, most conventional general cups are held by one or two fingers, but the cup of the present invention can be held by the palm and the whole finger. As shown in the figure, it has a triangular rice ball-like cross-sectional shape and a length that can be held by the thumb of the average human body size and the fingers from the index finger to the little finger, and the structure that takes the distance between the handle and the cup body wider than before, Even if you are drinking a high beverage, the hand that grips the handle is prevented from touching the main body, and the overall center of gravity moves to the handle side. The ergonomic evaluation method based on electromyogram and motion analysis can prove that the cup is light and easy to handle even with the same weight. Nito Even, than conventional general cup, it said to be devised which has the effect that can be used with confidence easily.

It is a front view of the cup concerning this invention. It is a side view of the cup concerning this invention. It is a top view of the cup concerning this invention. FIG. 2 is a handle cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. It is explanatory drawing which showed the overlap of the cup concerning this invention. It is explanatory drawing of the conventional common cup.

  Below, the cup which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated.

  In the cup of the present invention, one end of the handle is joined to the main body, and the other end is grounded so that it is flush with the bottom surface of the main body. By devising the cross-sectional shape and length, and by making the distance between the handle and the cup body wider than before, it is difficult to touch the body with the finger and the center of gravity is at hand, so it is safe and easy to operate. The shape, color, and pattern can be configured in various patterns.

  Next, examples of the present invention will be shown. However, the present invention is not limited to the following examples as a matter of course. Of course, the present invention can be implemented with appropriate modifications within a range that can meet the purpose of the preceding and following descriptions. These are all included in the technical scope of the present invention.

  FIG. 1 is a front view of a cup according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a side view thereof. FIG. 3 is a top view thereof. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, FIG. 5 is an explanatory view showing a state in which the main body is overlapped, and FIG. 6 is an explanatory view of a conventional general cup. In these drawings, 1 is a cup body and 2 is a handle portion. As shown in FIG. 6, a conventional general cup has both ends of the handle joined to the cup body. However, the cup of the present invention has a cup body 1 and a handle at the joint 2a of the body and the handle as shown in FIG. 2 is joined, and the lower part 2b of the handle is not bonded to the cup body 1, but is grounded on the same surface as the bottom of the cup body 1 as shown in FIG. In addition, the cup body 1 can be stacked as shown in FIG. 5 by providing a step as shown in FIG. 1 at the joint portion of the opening 1a of the body and the lower portion 1b thereof. As shown in FIG. 4, the handle 2 has a triangular rice ball-like cross-sectional shape so that it can be held by the palm and the entire finger, and has a length that can be held by the thumb of the average human body size and the fingers from the index finger to the little finger. It can be gripped with four fingers, and the handle 2 is slightly separated from the cup body 1 so that the cup body 1 is less likely to be fingered and the center of gravity is closer to the hand. It is easy and easy to drink and allows easy and safe cups.

  In this way, with a cup that is easy to use, it can be used easily and safely not only by healthy people but also by elderly people and children.

  In addition to regular cups, it can be applied to soup mugs and cafe au lait balls, and not only to ceramics but also to other materials such as plastic and metal.
