Description

  The present invention relates to a coaster that brings out a high-class appearance and can exhibit excellent water absorption.

  Conventionally, a coaster is laid under a glass or a cup. A typical coaster is made of a material such as paper, cloth, cork, or wood, and is formed into a circular shape, a rectangular shape, or a polygonal shape. In addition, the coaster is laid under a glass or a cup to produce elegance and has a practical aspect of preventing water droplets on the cup surface from adhering to the table.

  Moreover, as a prior art, when a container is mounted, there exists a coaster which can give a change in a visual production effect because a several light-emitting body can blink in various patterns ( For example, see Patent Document 1).

  The coaster of Patent Document 1 is provided in a main body having a mounting surface on which a container such as a cup or a vase can be mounted, a detection unit capable of detecting the presence or absence of a container on the mounting surface, and the main body. A plurality of light emitters, a control unit that causes the light emitters to blink in a predetermined pattern when the detection unit detects the container on the placement surface, and a blinking pattern of the light emitters by the control unit. And a changeable blinking pattern changing means.

  In order to solve the above problems, a coaster according to the present invention is a coaster composed of a base having a recess formed on a surface thereof and a water absorbing tool accommodated in the recess, wherein the water absorbing tool includes a plurality of water absorbing tools. It is formed by fixing a small piece member.

  The water absorbing tool is formed with a gap through which liquid can pass.

  The small piece member is formed by pulverizing natural stone.

  The small piece member is made of synthetic resin.

  The small piece member is formed of glass beads.

  Also, a brightener was applied to the small piece member

  The base is made of synthetic resin.

  The base is made of wood.

  The base is made of metal.

  The base is made of stone.

  The base is formed in a hollow shape.

  In addition, an anti-slip tool was installed on the bottom surface of the base.

  Furthermore, an antibacterial agent was applied to the surface of the base and / or the water absorbing tool.

Effect of device

  The coaster of the present invention is composed of a base having a recess formed on the surface and a water absorbing tool accommodated in the recess, and the water absorbing tool allows a liquid to pass by fixing a plurality of small piece members. A gap is formed. As a result, the liquid adhering to the surface of the cup is efficiently absorbed into the water absorbing device, the liquid does not adhere to the bottom of the cup, preventing the table and clothes from getting wet, and the coaster is lifted together with the cup. Can be solved.

1 is an overall perspective view of a coaster according to the present invention. It is sectional drawing to which the said coaster was expanded. It is sectional drawing of the state in which the spherical-shaped small piece member was accommodated. It is sectional drawing of the state which accommodated the resin-made small piece members. It is a top view which shows another shape. It is a top view which shows other shapes. It is sectional drawing which shows a use condition.

The coaster of the present invention is to provide a coaster that efficiently absorbs the liquid adhering to the cup to prevent the liquid from accumulating on the surface of the coaster, and can also give a high-class appearance.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the coaster of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  A coaster 1 according to the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is a coaster including a base 2 having a concave portion 4 formed on a surface 3 and a water absorbing tool 10 accommodated in the concave portion 4. The water absorbing tool 10 is formed by fixing a plurality of small piece members 11.

  In particular, the water absorbing tool 10 has a gap 12 through which the liquid A can pass. The plurality of small piece members 11 are fixed to each other using the adhesive 13, whereby a gap 12 is formed at the joint portion. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, the liquid A adhering to the periphery of the container B is efficiently stored in the recess 4.

  The small piece member 11 is preferably made by pulverizing natural stone 11a to an appropriate size. By using the natural stone 11a, the beauty of the material possessed by the natural stone can be produced. The type of natural stone is not particularly limited.

  As another preferred example, as the small piece member 11, a synthetic resin 11b formed into a suitable size as shown in FIG. 3 and joined into a sheet by an adhesive is suitably used. By using the synthetic resin 11b, the cushioning property is enhanced and the anti-slip effect is also provided.

  As another preferred example, the small piece member 11 may be formed of spherical glass beads 11c as shown in FIG. By forming the small piece member 11 with spherical glass beads 11c, a novel and soft atmosphere can be created. The small piece member 11 may be made of plastic, metal, or porcelain as long as it is spherical. Furthermore, you may give various colors and fragrance | flavors.

  As another suitable example, it is preferable to apply a brightener 14 to the small piece member 11. The gloss 14 is preferably made of bismuth or the like, but the material is not particularly limited as long as it gives an elegant gloss to the surface of the small piece member 11.

  The base 2 is preferably formed of a synthetic resin. In general, synthetic resins are easy to process and can be mass-produced. Moreover, since it is lightweight and excellent in water resistance, it is suitably used as the material for the base 2.

  As another suitable example, the base 2 may be made of wood. Using wood as a material can improve the texture and create a sense of quality. In addition, the kind of wood is not specifically limited.

  As another suitable example, the base 2 may be made of metal. Metals are easy to process, have an appropriate weight, and provide a sense of stability during use. As the metal material, aluminum, iron, stainless steel or the like is used.

  As another suitable example, the base 2 may be formed of a stone material. Natural stone or artificial stone is preferably used as the stone. The stone material has a good appearance, a high quality feeling is obtained, and the weight is maintained, so that an excellent sense of stability is exhibited.

  The base 2 may be formed in a hollow shape having a hollow portion 16 as shown in FIG. By forming the hollow portion 16 in the base 2, it is possible to reduce the weight and further reduce the material cost.

  An anti-skid tool 17 may be installed on the bottom surface of the base 2. As the anti-skid tool 17, for example, resin rubber or the like is preferably used. By installing the anti-skid tool 17, it is excellent in safety and can exhibit cushioning properties.

  Further, an antibacterial agent 15 may be applied to the surface of the base 2 and / or the water absorbing tool 10. The antibacterial agent 15 is applied to the surface of the base 2, the surface of the water absorbent 10, or both the base 2 and the water absorbent 10. Thereby, the coaster 1 can be used hygienically.

  Although the base 2 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape as shown in the figure, the present invention is not limited to this, and even if it is polygonal (octagonal) as shown in FIG. 5, as shown in FIG. It may be circular.

  As described above, the coaster according to the present invention efficiently absorbs the liquid adhering to the cup, thereby preventing the liquid from accumulating on the surface of the coaster and providing a high quality appearance.
