Description

The present invention relates to a transparent container containing a liquid, particularly a beverage.

Some transparent containers, such as glass cups, are printed. They are intended to be enjoyed as a design and have no functional implications.

In addition, glasses with a directing function have also been developed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for projecting a beverage.

Patent No. 6679076

However, the technique of Patent Document 1 requires a dedicated device and electric power, and has a problem that the hurdle in introduction is high. In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to provide a glass that can be visually enjoyed and exhibits functionality only by printing.

In order to solve the above problems, the liquid container of the present invention is a transparent container for containing a liquid, and the surface is printed with at least two colors, and a liquid of the same color as one of them is poured into the container. Then, the printing of the one color becomes invisible due to assimilation, and when a liquid of the same color as another color of the printing is poured, the printing of the other color becomes invisible due to the assimilation, while the one color becomes visible. , A container for liquids.

Further, the printing may be two colors, the one-color printing may be a display indicating the liquid of the other color, and the printing of the other color may be a display indicating the liquid of the one color.

With such a liquid container, the color of the liquid erases the display, making it fun to pour the liquid and at the same time telling what the liquid is in the cup and preventing accidental ingestion. ..

An embodiment of the liquid container of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a front view showing the glass of the embodiment.

Glass 1 is a transparent glass cup. In order to minimize the reflection of the shadow of the print on the liquid inside, it is desirable that the wall surface is as thin as possible, for example, within 5 mm.

Printing 2 is printing with white paint, and printing 2 of the characters "coffee" is printed on the wall surface of the glass, slightly above the center of the height.

Printing 3 is printing with black paint, and printing 3 of the characters "milk" is printed on the wall surface of the glass, slightly below the center of the height. Especially in this case, it is assumed that white liquid will enter inside, so in order to minimize the shadow of printing on the liquid inside, the thickness of the characters, especially the width in the vertical direction, should be as thin as possible. desirable.

FIG. 2 is a front view showing a state in which milk M is poured into the glass 1 of FIG. Since milk is white, if milk M is poured higher than the print 2 of the letters "coffee", the print 2 of the letters "coffee" printed in white becomes assimilated with the color of milk M and disappears. Looks like. On the other hand, since the printing 3 of the characters "milk" is black, the contrast is emphasized and the milk M can be more clearly seen in the state of being poured.

In this way, when milk is poured into the glass 1, the letters "coffee" disappear and only the letters "milk" can be seen, so the display represents the contents, and the visual sense of the process of the letters disappearing. At the same time as creating magical fun, including effects, the contents can be displayed without applying any external force.

On the other hand, FIG. 3 is a front view showing a state in which coffee C is poured into the glass 1 of FIG. Since coffee is black, if you pour coffee C higher than the print 3 of the letters "milk", the print 3 of the letters "milk" printed in black will be assimilated with the color of coffee C and will not be visible and will disappear. Looks like. On the other hand, if coffee C is poured higher than the print 2 of the letters "coffee", the print 2 of the letters "coffee" is white, so the contrast is emphasized so that it can be seen more clearly with the coffee C poured. become.

In this way, when coffee is poured into glass 1, the letters "milk" disappear and only the letters "coffee" can be seen, so the display represents the contents, and the visual sense of the process of the letters disappearing. At the same time as creating magical fun, including effects, the contents can be displayed without applying any external force.

FIG. 4 is a front view showing a state in which coffee milk CM is placed in the glass 1 of the embodiment. In FIG. 4, the coffee milk CM is poured into the glass 1, but since the coffee milk is light brown, neither of the prints 2 and 3 is assimilated, that is, the characters "coffee milk" are displayed. Will be.

In this way, when coffee milk is poured into glass 1, the characters "coffee milk" can be visually recognized, so that the display indicates the contents, and a series of the above-mentioned visual effects when coffee and milk are poured. It is possible to display the contents without applying any external force at the same time as creating a tricky fun in the flow of.
5 to 8 show the characters "coffee milk" in traditional Chinese characters in the glasses of FIGS. 1 to 4. Since the structure and effect are the same as those of the glass of FIGS. 1 to 4, the same reference numerals are given and the description thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 5 is a front view showing the glass 11 of another embodiment. This glass 11 is a jug type with a handle, but its structure is the same as that of the glass 1 mentioned above, and the printing 2 of the characters "coffee" is printed on the wall surface of the glass slightly above the center of the height with white paint. At the same time, the printing 3 of the characters "milk" is printed on the wall surface of the glass, slightly below the center of the height, with black paint.

When coffee, milk, and coffee milk are poured into such a glass 11, the letters "coffee", the letters "milk", and both letters can be visually recognized, so that the display indicates the contents. At the same time as creating a tricky fun, the contents can be displayed without applying any external force.

FIG. 6 is a front view showing the glass 12 of yet another embodiment. This glass 12 is the same glass as the glass 1 mentioned above, but the printing is different, and the printing 22 of the illustration of coffee beans is printed on the wall surface of the glass with the letters "COFFEE" in the center of the height. At the same time, a print 32 of an illustration imitating the outline of a milk bottle with the letters "MILK" in black paint is printed on the wall surface of the glass, to the left of the print 22 in the center of the height.

When milk M, coffee C, and coffee milk CM are poured into such a glass 12, the letters "MILK" as shown in FIG. 11 and the illustration 32 imitating the outline of the milk bottle and "Illustration 32" as shown in FIG. 12, respectively. Since both the characters and the illustrations of the coffee beans can be visually recognized together with the characters "COFFEE" as shown in FIG. , The contents can be displayed without any external force.

As described above, according to the glass of the present invention, when a colored liquid is poured, the display shows the contents, which creates magical fun and at the same time, has some external effect. The contents can be displayed without applying any force. Printing methods may include silk printing, UV printing, pad printing, and the like. The glass of the present invention is not limited to the embodiment. For example, the printing position may be at the bottom of the container instead of near the center. The shape of the container may be a cup, a glass, a wine glass, a pitcher, or the like. The material may be transparent, such as glass, plastic, or acrylic. As a combination of two color letters, white and black such as milk and coffee, as well as brown and white such as tea and milk can be considered. In the above embodiment, a beverage glass using two-color printing of black and white has been described, but the present invention is not limited to the beverage, and printing of three or more colors may be used. It is also possible to print with gradation in color. For example, if a test tube is printed with a gradation color and a number is printed on it, when the test agent is poured into the liquid inside and the color changes due to pH, it is attached on top of the invisible color in the gradation. It can be operated such that the given number indicates the pH of the liquid. Also, when diluting colored alcohol such as whiskey with water, if the glass is printed in multiple colors, it can be used to distinguish the concentration of whiskey, making it a glass suitable for novelty.
