[0001] CUP HOLDER WITH GRIPPING MEANS [0002]

The present invention relates to a cup holder, and more particularly, to a cup holder provided with grips and having grip means that can be easily carried and reduce the risk of a safety accident.

The cup holder is used to grasp a cup containing hot or cold beverages. Such a cup holder is combined with the outer surface of a disposable cup used in a coffee shop, a convenience store, or a fast-food restaurant to prevent the hot or cold energy of the beverage from being transmitted to the hand .

Such a cup holder is formed into a cylindrical shape having a small outer diameter in a downward direction by joining both end portions of the corrugated paper cut in a fan shape. Such a conventional cup holder is coupled to the outer diameter of the disposable cup, So that cold air is not directly transmitted to the hand.

However, the above-described conventional cup holder has a problem in that it can not stably hold the disposable cup at the time of take-out. That is, in a disposable cup, hot beverages, such as coffee, boiling water is produced at a temperature of about 100 ° C. When the coffee is poured while holding the baby with such hot coffee, There was a fear of safety accident such as wearing.

In recent years, in order to solve such a problem, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-2012-0102970 has tried to provide a handle in a cup holder.

However, in view of productivity problems such as manufacturing costs, the cup holder is generally made of a paper material such as corrugated cardboard, and even if equipped with a handle, the cup holder does not have a predetermined strength.

In particular, recently, take-out forms of beverages such as coffee have been increasing, and as the capacity of the cup increases, a separate carrier may be provided. In this case, a separate carrier manufacturing process is required and unnecessary resources are wasted .

It is an object of the present invention to provide a cup holder having grip means capable of holding and gripping a disposable cup stably without adding a separate member.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a cup holder having gripping means capable of improving economical efficiency by making it possible to construct a handle by utilizing a conventional production process without requiring additional resources.

The present invention includes a grip portion having a body portion for supporting an outer surface of a container and an extension portion extending upward from one side of the body portion, wherein the extension portion is inserted into an insertion port formed at the other side of the body portion, And grip means for tightening the cup holder with the main body by frictional force according to the weight of the container.

The extension portion is disposed such that the inner and outer surfaces of the extension portion are primarily inverted from the main body portion so that the inner surface faces the outer side at the grip portion and is inverted from the other side where the insertion port is formed, As shown in Fig.

In addition, the extending portion may be cut along the cut line according to the selection, so that the lower end of the extension portion is connected to the upper end of the main body portion and is cut as one body and is arranged to surround the outer surface of the container together with the main body portion. It is desirable to function to enable the operation.

The cup holder having the grip means according to the present invention described above can be constituted integrally with the body portion and the grip portion so that the grip portion can be selectively formed according to the user's need, have. In particular, it maximizes the utility of the disposable cup for take-out as a portable application.

Further, since the cup holder having the grip means of the present invention can minimize the additional requirement of the material for cutting in the manufacturing process and does not require a separate additional process, it has an advantage of improving the productivity, and the additional injection material or metal material Since there is no bonding, the problem of environmental pollution caused by waste can be eliminated.

Hereinafter, a cup holder having grip means according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view for explaining a cup holder having grip means according to the present invention.

The present invention basically comprises a body portion 100 in the form of a ring on a plane so as to surround the outer peripheral surface of the container and a grip portion 200 connected upward from one side of the body portion to be coupled to the other side.

The main body 100 supports the outer surface of the cup and is formed in a planar ring shape having a predetermined height so as to be grasped by hand. The main body 100 mainly functions to prevent heat or cool air from being transferred to the hand from beverage in the container. For this purpose, a corrugated cardboard is generally used to form a space in which predetermined concavities and convexities and predetermined air are accommodated. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

In the following, a portion where a predetermined concavity and convexity formed to look at the container in the process of reconstituting the main body 100 or the grip portion 200 is defined as the inside and the opposite side is defined as the outside. As will be described later, in one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the grip portion 200 can be formed by inverting the inner surface and the outer surface in a part of the section. The division between the inner surface and the outer surface is made uniform based on the developed view of FIG. .

The inner surface of the main body 100 may be directly contacted with the container to provide a predetermined frictional force. The outer surface may be smooth as compared with the inner surface, and a predetermined shape or advertisement may be disposed to improve the appearance.

The body 100 may be formed as a part of an inverted conical shape so as to be inserted from the lower side of the container as a whole to support a load, and the shape of the body 100 may be optionally selected.

The grip portion 200 may be configured to extend from one side of the main body 100 to the upper side and be coupled to the other side substantially opposite thereto.

Since the main body 100 is formed in a symmetrical shape in a plan view, a portion where the grip portion 200 extends is defined as one side, and the connection portion between the grip portion 200 and the main body 100 is connected to the connection portion 220 .

It is preferable that the connecting portion 220 is formed as an integral part of the body portion 100 and that the connecting portion 220 is formed as a part of the body portion 100 or the grip portion 200 for economical efficiency. The case where the grip portion 200 and the body portion 100 are combined as a separate member in a post process may be considered. In such a case, however, it may be disadvantageous to increase manufacturing cost since it is manufactured separately and requires a bonding process. In order to achieve this, in the present invention, the grip portion 200 and the body portion 100 are integrally cut together, and after the grip portion 200 is separated from the body portion 100 by forming a predetermined cut- It is preferable to have a portion that is fastened at the end side.

The main body 100 may include a connecting portion 220 connected to the main body 100 and an extended portion 210 formed in a long cord shape. And may be fastened at the other side of the housing 100, which will be described later in connection with such a structure.

Considering the manufacturing relationship and the connection relationship between the main body 100 and the grip part 200, it is preferable that the extended part 210 on the side of the connection part 220 is inverted so that the inner surface faces outward. This shape is the same as the illustration. In this case, the outer surface of the relatively smooth material is disposed on the inner side at the time of gripping, thereby improving the tactile sensation and visually distinguishing the outer surface of the main body 100 from the outer surface. It should be noted that the twisted shape has the advantage that the dispersion of the load and the tensile strength can be improved. As will be described later, the twisted shape is preferably provided on one side and the other side adjacent to the main body 100, but the number and arrangement of the inner and outer sides may be selectively reversed.

2 is an exploded view of a cup holder having grip means according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

As described above, the main body 100 has a substantially conical shape. When the cutting is completed, both ends of the main body 100 are joined together in a manner such as to adhere to each other, thereby supporting the container on the inner surface.

Considering this shape, the upper and lower ends of the main body 100 may be formed in a curved arc shape in an upward direction, and the grip portion 200 may be formed in a shape corresponding to an upper shape of the main body 100 Do.

That is, the lower side of the grip portion 200 and the upper side of the main body 100 are connected to each other in a cutting process, and the lower side of the grip portion 200 and the upper end side of the main body 100 are cut The cut line 240 can be formed. The cut line 240 is a structure such as a so-called curved line or a tab that can be cut by a user in the course of use. That is, it is formed as a part of an overall conical shape that can be fitted into the container in the state of being supplied to the first user, and when the knob construction is required, the extended portion 210 cut through the cut line 240 is folded upward or twisted The insertion portion 260 formed at the end side can be fastened at the other side of the main body 100 after the separation.

One side in the unfolded state represents a portion where the connection portion 220 is disposed. When the three-dimensional shape of the main body 100 is formed, the insertion port 130 may be formed at an interval of about 180 degrees. . However, the connecting portion 220 is formed adjacent to both ends of the upper portion of the developed view of the main body 100 so as to maximize the length of the extended portion 210 while preventing the convenience of manufacturing and waste of the material to be cut desirable.

Accordingly, the grip portion 200 is formed in an arc shape as a whole.

After cutting along the cut line 240, the main body 100 and the grip part 200 are connected to each other at the connecting part 220 side. In order to facilitate the reversing operation of the extended part 210, 210 and the connecting part 220. The rotating part 230 may be formed as a single unit. The turning unit 230 may be formed as a predetermined fold line so as to smoothly perform a folding operation or a twisting operation for reversing the inner and outer surfaces, which is optional.

In the unfolded state, it is preferable that the swivel portion 230 is configured as a sloped shape adjacent to the center side toward the upper side for a natural reversal operation.

The insertion port 130 may have a height corresponding to the width of the extended portion 210 in a deployed state, but it is sufficient that the insertion portion 260 can be inserted. However, it is preferable that the insertion portion 260 is cut at least longer than the width of the insertion portion 260 in order to facilitate insertion of the insertion portion 260. The fastening force of the end portion of the extension portion 210 and the body portion 100 may be provided by the frictional force due to the load of the container and / or the fastening state by the fastening portion 250, which will be described later.

The upper end of the insertion port 130 is inserted into the inserting portion 260 and the upper end of the insertion port 130 is inserted into the inserting portion 260. [ As shown in Fig. In this case, it is preferable that the shape of the latching part 250 is inclined so as to approach the center side toward the upper side in consideration of the coupling relation and the direction of the load.

The main body 100 has a substantially cylindrical or conical shape and supports the container on the inner circumferential surface thereof to prevent heat transfer.

And a flat shape is formed by cutting a material having a relatively large plate shape, and a three-dimensional shape is formed in such a manner that the flat shape is adhered or fastened. In order to improve the economical efficiency in the production process, Minimization of additional processes is required.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a grip portion is added to the cup holder, and a method of minimizing the area required in the cutting process is provided. To this end, the extension 210 may be cut in a state in which a part or all of the upper end of the main body 100 is joined.

Specifically, the upper and lower ends of the main body 100 are arc-shaped, and the extended portion 210 of the grip portion 200 corresponds to the upper end of the main body 100, that is, the curvature of the lower end of the extended portion 210 The shape is formed to substantially conform to the curvature and shape of the upper end of the main body 100.

Therefore, in the process of constructing the three-dimensional shape, the extension 210 can form a part of the main body 100 before being cut by the user.

The main body 100 may have a coupling part 120 formed at one end side thereof and may be connected to each other at the other end side thereof so as to be connected to each other. In consideration of the ease of storage and transportation, (110) may be formed.

Here, it is preferable that the connecting portion 220 is formed adjacent to one end of the main body 100 so as to maximize the length of the extended portion 210 for holding the user. In addition, the end of the extension 210 at which cutting is started may be configured to substantially correspond to the other edge portion of the main body 100.

However, the coupling relationship between the main body 100 and the extension 210 is not limited to the above example.

The connecting portion 220 extends upward from one end of the main body 100 and is connected to the main body 100 even after cutting the extended portion 210 as described later, So that the load of the extension part 210 can be supported by the extension part 210.

1, one of the sides of the three-dimensional cup holder is defined as a side where the connecting portion 220 is disposed, and the other side is defined as a side where the extending portion 210 is coupled to the main body 100. When the connection part 220 is disposed on one end side, the insertion opening 130 to be coupled with the extension part 210 is formed to be substantially parallel to the main body part 100, They must be formed adjacent to the central side in the width direction to be disposed opposite to each other when forming a three-dimensional shape.

The insertion port 130 is formed in a predetermined cut-away shape so that the insertion portion 260 can be inserted. Although the insertion port 130 is formed in a longitudinal direction, the insertion port 130 is not limited thereto. Of course, be formed.

The extension 210 is formed integrally with the main body 100 in the cutting process and the user cuts the extension 210 through the cut line 240 as necessary and inserts the insertion portion 130 into the insertion portion 130. [ (260). The operation procedure for this operation will be described later.

In the present invention, in consideration of convenience in use and overall tensile strength, the inner surface may be reversed outwardly in the process of extending the extension 210 from the side of the main body 100 to the upper side, The coupling part of the coupling part 210 may be configured to facilitate the folding or twisting operation. The turning unit 230 functions as a folding reference line and may be formed of a predetermined curved line or a tab to facilitate the reversing operation of the inner and outer surfaces.

The extension 210 adjacent to the insertion portion 260 is formed with a protrusion or a groove or a cutout 250 formed at the corner side so as to be engaged with the inner wall of the insertion port 130 side, Thereby enhancing the fastening force between the body 100 and the extension 210.

The latching portion 250 may be formed on the upper side and / or the lower side in consideration of the three-dimensional shape relationship of the extending portion 210 adjacent to the insertion portion 260.

3 is a view for explaining the operation of the cup holder having the grip means according to the present invention.

2, a state in which both ends of the main body 100 in a deployed state are connected to each other at a coupling part 120 and a three-dimensional shape is formed while forming a part of a cylindrical shape or a conical shape is shown in FIG. 3 (a).

In this case, the extended portion 210 is integrally formed along the upper circumference of the main body 100 from one side where the connection portion 220 is formed, so that the extension portion 210 can be closely attached to the outer surface of the container as a whole.

In this case, the extension part 210 and the body part 100 only function as a cup holder which can be grasped entirely on the outer surface. On the side where the connection part 220 is formed, the end part of the extension part 210 is connected to the connection part 220 Or may be spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction. It is of course possible to perform a function of fixing a separate member such as a straw or a spoon when the ends of the connection part 220 and the extension part 210 are separated from each other.

3 (b) shows a state in which the extension 210 is separated from the main body 100 along the cutout line 240 by the user's selection.

Since the extension part 210 is formed in an arc shape having a gentle curvature in consideration of manufacturing convenience, the extension part 210 is folded or twisted along the rotation part 230 formed on the connection part 220 side to form a natural shape. As shown in Fig. At this time, the inner surface of the extension part 210 may be arranged to be inverted outwardly.

Fig. 3 (c) is a view from the other side of the cup holder.

The end of the extension part 210 is inserted into the insertion hole 130 formed on the other side of the cup holder and is fastened. However, the insertion port 130 may be a protruding member, and in this case, the latching portion 250 of the extending portion 210 may be hooked and fastened thereto. In the description of the present invention, it is described that the insertion port 130 is formed of a predetermined through hole or a cutout, but it should be noted that various fastening methods are not excluded.

As described later, the extension part 210 is preferably disposed at the inside of the main body part 100 and is inserted into the insertion part 260 Is further arranged so as to face the inner side again to improve the frictional force.

To this end, the extension 210 may be folded or twisted again on the side of the insertion port 130 as shown in the illustration, so that the outer and inner surfaces may be reversed.

Fig. 4 is a view from the inside for explaining the arrangement state of the insertion portion in the cup holder having the grip means of the present invention.

The insertion portion 260 is inserted into the insertion port 130 with the inner and outer surfaces of the extension 210 being secondarily inverted from the insertion port 130 side. At this time, the inner surface of the inserting portion 260 is formed with concavities and convexities, and can be brought into close contact with the outer surface of the container in a state of supporting the container, thereby providing a frictional force.

As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that even without the configuration of the latching part 250, the load and movement of up to approximately 500cc were smoothly supported by the inserting part 260 inserted into the insertion port 130 and the frictional force due to the self weight of the container.

However, it is preferable that the insertion port 130 is formed so as to be inclined in the filling direction when the insertion port 130 is formed in a cut-away shape in order to prevent a drop due to a shock or a violent shaking in consideration of a downward action of the container.

The direction of this inclination can be appropriately set in accordance with the relationship with the connecting portion 220, the folded or twisted position and direction, and the shape of the extending portion 210.

In order to improve the supporting force, the extension part 210 adjacent to the insertion part 260 may be formed with an engaging part 250 cut or protruded from the edge side, So that the fastening force can be improved by being hooked from the upper end of the insertion port 130.

5 is an exploded view of a cup holder having grip means according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

In the second embodiment, the grip portion 200 is formed on the upper side of the main body 100, and is arranged so as to be cut or separated. The overlapping description of the main body 100 and the grip portion 200 will be omitted.

In the embodiment of FIG. 2, the concept that the engaging portion 121 is adhered to the corresponding end side of the main body 100 by the adhering means to form a three-dimensional shape is presented.

However, in the present invention, there is a possibility that an additional member is formed on the upper side of the main body 100, which may hinder the application process of the adhesive material.

In the second embodiment, the coupling portion 121 is formed at one end portion of the main body portion 100 in the unfolded state of the main body portion 100 and the coupling hole 140 is formed at the other end side corresponding thereto, The present invention provides a structure capable of forming a three-dimensional shape without an adhesive process.

The engaging portion 121 may be inserted and fastened to a fastener 140, which is a predetermined opening formed through the inner and outer surfaces of the other end side, having a predetermined annular shape or a protruding jaw shape protruding sideways in the deployed state , The illustration is merely an example, and such fastening structure can be selectively constructed. For example, it is conceivable that the engaging portion 121 and the fastening tool 140 are formed as protrusions protruding from each other to engage with a predetermined step.

In the case of such a configuration, conventionally, the cutting process is completed in the production process and the bonding process is formed, but the cutting process is performed only once and then the production can be completed immediately. Particularly, in the case of a cup holder made of paper, production cost is an important factor. It should be noted that when the application of the adhesive, the bending and the bonding process are omitted, there is a great effect on the production time and cost.

In addition, since the bonding step is omitted through the structure of the coupling part 121 and the coupling part 140, the length of the extended part 210 constituting the grip part 200 can be freely selected.

In the first embodiment, when the engaging portion 120 is formed as an adhering portion, it can be confirmed that the extending portion 210 is not formed on the upper side of the engaging portion 120 for the adhering process. However, if the bonding step is omitted, since the bonding step can be omitted, the length of the extending part 210 can be secured longer.

As described above, the extending portion 210 should be formed with a predetermined length from one side of the main body 100 to the other side in a state where the container is supported. In order to facilitate insertion and withdrawal of the container, It is necessary that an open area of at least half of the cover is secured.

The extended portion 210 may be longer than the body portion 100 and the extended portion 210 may be extended to the side where the engaging portion 121 is formed The arrangement of the extension part 210 and the connection part 220 may be interchanged.

According to a second embodiment of the present invention, the extension 210 is preferably at least longer than the left and right lengths of the main body 100.

In this case, according to the conventional bonding process, the thickness can be reduced to half in the process of storing and transporting, and storage in a flat plate shape can be advantageous in terms of storage and transportation.

6 is a perspective view showing a state in which a cup holder having grip means according to the concept of the present invention described above supports the container.

The body portion 100 is disposed in such a manner as to surround the outer peripheral surface of the container 10 and the connection portion 220 protrudes upward from one side to support the extension portion 210. The end portion side of the extension portion 210 is connected to the insertion port 130 So that the grip part 200 is formed in a ring shape as a whole to grip and carry the grip part 200.

At this time, the inner surface of the grip portion 200 is disposed in an inverted state to facilitate the grip. In this case, since the shape and the shape are different from the outer surface of the body portion 100, the grip portion 200 has an aesthetic advantage.

The inner surface and the outer surface of the extension portion 210 may be reversed from the side where the connection portion 220 is formed and the side where the insertion hole 130 is formed. And the inner surface of the inner surface is directed to the inner side so that the frictional force can be improved by the self weight of the container.

The cup holder having the grip means according to the present invention described above can be constituted integrally with the main body portion and the grip portion so that a portion that can be gripped by the user can be selectively formed, I have. Particularly, in the conventional case, since it is merely constituted by a grip which can be grasped from the side, there is a problem that the disposable cup for taking-out is not very useful for carrying and the ability to support the load is very low. It is noted that the portable device has a structure in which the handle can be configured on the upper side of the main body, thereby remarkably improving the carrying ability.

Further, since the cup holder having the grip means of the present invention can minimize the additional requirement of the material for cutting in the manufacturing process and does not require a separate additional process, it has an advantage of improving the productivity, and the additional injection material or metal material Since there is no bonding, the problem of environmental pollution caused by waste can be eliminated.

In the foregoing, the present invention has been described in detail based on the embodiments and the accompanying drawings. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments and drawings, and the scope of the present invention will be limited only by the contents described in the claims of utility model registration described later.
