These beverage glass holders are generally disposable. Used holders must be disposed of. The decomposition of plastic products into organic constituents is very long, and toxic substances are released during incineration, and there is only one acceptable way to dispose of such packaging - melting and reuse. This process is associated with certain difficulties both in collection and in the processing itself.

Known holders (trays / trays) for disposable cups, made from processed paper pulp, which have rounded conical sides and flat bottoms. The open top end of each holder is usually defined by a small outward protruding bead. The holders have essentially a similar configuration, but differ in the shape of the recesses, fixing means, etc.

Such holders include, for example, the following patents:

Another material used to make the holders is cardboard sheets.

Cardboard is an environmentally friendly material. Compared to polymer products, it causes minimal harm to the environment. Cardboard packaging degrades quickly in the environment and does not require a lot of energy when recycled.

A holder made of a sheet cardboard is made from a flat single blank by bending parts of the blank along fold lines in the form of a horizontally oriented parallelepiped, with a surface provided with perforated holes for placing glasses.

Implementation of the utility model

The inventive tray-holder is made in the form of a trapezoidal prism and is designed to hold plastic or paper containers, such as glasses, with drinks

The tray-holder is made of a flat single blank of corrugated cardboard or microcorrugated cardboard of a rectangular shape (Fig. 1), consisting of parts that form: base 1, first side wall 2, top wall 3 and the first 4 and second 5 side elements to obtain the second side walls 6 (figure 2), made along the edges of the workpiece.

The tray is obtained by bending parts of the workpiece along the fold lines into a hollow body in the form of a trapezoidal prism, elongated in the horizontal direction, with a cross-section representing a trapezoid (Fig. 2, Fig. 4).

The lower base of the trapezoid in section A-A (Figs. 2, 3, 4) is the lower base 1 of the tray. The upper base of the trapezoid in section A-A (Fig. 4) is the upper base 3 of the tray and is made with punched holes 7 for placing glasses in them. The holes 7 are circular. Holes can be made from two to four. Two holes are indicated in the figures of the utility model, but the utility model is not limited to only two, two, three, and four holes can be used for the tray.

Each hole is equipped with glass retention elements made in the form of petals formed by two concentric circles 14,15 on the upper base 3, the largest 14 of which is the generatrix of the hole 7, and intersecting them with radial cuts 16. The petals 8 are made on the upper base 3 and are arranged symmetrically around the circumference 14 of the hole 7 with the possibility of bending. It is preferable to make three petals on each side of the hole. However, the utility model is not limited to only three petals, it is possible to use a different number of them.

Each hole 7 is made with an overhang on the side walls 2 and 6 to ensure the fit of the glasses to the entire depth of the holder, since the width of the upper base is less than the diameter of the hole.

The first side wall 2 is formed from a rectangular reamer located between the lower base 1 and the upper base 3 and separated from them by fold lines. The second side wall 6 in the folded state is formed by overlapping the first 4 and second 5 side elements with their fixation with a lock 9. The side elements 4 and 5 are equipped with lock elements 9, consisting of a locking tongue 10 made on the first side element 4, and a mating transverse slot 11 made on the second side element 5. The locking tongue 10 and the mating slot 11 are made by perforation or notch to effect the closing of the side elements 4 and 5 when the aligned tongue 10 and the slot 11 are pushed and the tongue is inserted into the slot. Each side element preferably contains two locking elements. The locking element - tongue 10 is made of a conical shape and contains an isthmus 12 and shoulders 13. The contour of the mating slot 11 corresponds to the contour of the tongue and contains a transverse slot 17, recesses 18 for the entrance of the shoulders 13 and a tapering section 19 for the insertion of the tongue 10.

The tray holder is made of corrugated cardboard. Corrugated cardboard, as a rule, consists of three layers: two flat layers of cardboard (topliners) and one layer of paper between them, which has a wavy (corrugated) shape (fluting). Such a composition of layers makes corrugated board, despite the characteristics of its components, especially rigid, having resistance both in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the board and in directions along the planes.

Corrugated cardboard is used (according to GOST R 52901-2007 Corrugated cardboard for packaging products. Specifications), grade T (three-layer), with a corrugation profile height from 1.5 mm to 3.2 mm.

It is possible to use micro-corrugated cardboard (according to GOST R 52901-2007), grade T with a corrugation profile height from 0.45 mm to 1.5 mm.

Microcorrugated cardboard is a type of two-layer, three-layer corrugated cardboard. The height of the corrugation is in the range from 0.6 to 1.8 millimeters. Due to such a resource, it is much more reliable and stronger than corrugated cardboard (https://tara-tovara.ru/docs/poleznaya_inform/profili_mikrogofrokartona_marki_i_oblast_primeneniya_korobok/. Published on June 01, 2017).

Since the problem solved by the utility model is to simplify the assembly, one of the advantages of its design is the absence of end walls. However, the end walls serve as load-bearing structural elements. Therefore, to maintain stability, the tray-holder is made in the form of a trapezoidal prism with a trapezoidal cross-section, which gives greater stability compared to a rectangular section. Making the tray from corrugated cardboard or micro-corrugated cardboard also provides structural rigidity.

Preferably, it is made of PCA, with a corrugation profile height from 0.45 mm to 1.5 mm.

Examples of specific implementation.

Example 1. Tray-holder is made in the form of a trapezoidal prism and is made of a flat single blank of corrugated cardboard or microcorrugated cardboard of rectangular shape, consisting of parts that form: base 1, first side wall 2, top wall 3 and first 4 and second 5 side elements to obtain the second side wall 6 (figure 2), made along the edges of the workpiece. The upper base of the tray is made with punched holes 7 for placing glasses in them. Each hole is equipped with elements for holding the glass, made in the form of petals. Side elements 4 and 5 are provided with lock elements 9, consisting of a locking tongue 10, made on the first side element 4, and a mating transverse slot 11, made on the second side element 5.

The tray-holder is made of corrugated cardboard in accordance with GOST R 52901-2007 Corrugated cardboard for packaging products. Specifications of grade T (three-layer), with a corrugation profile height of 3.2 mm.

Example 2. The tray-holder is made according to example 1, however, the material used is micro-corrugated board according to GOST R 52901-2007 with a corrugation profile height of 1.5 mm.

Example 3. The tray-holder is made according to example 1, however, the material used is micro-corrugated board according to GOST R 52901-2007 with a corrugation profile height of 0.45 mm.

Assembly.

The blank of the tray-holder is performed by cutting out of a sheet of cardboard on a stamp with the appropriate punching of holes and the necessary cuts and perforations. Fold lines are scored. The resulting blank is bent along the corresponding fold lines to form the lower base 1, the upper base 3, side walls 2 and 6. In this case, the second side wall 6 in the folded state is formed by overlapping the first 4 and second 5 side elements with the alignment of the locking elements - the locking tongue 10 and mating slot 11. Holding the tray with palms from the side of the ends, press with thumbs on the tongue 10, it is pressed inward, freely passing through the recesses 18 and the narrowed part 19 of the slot in the side element 5. The isthmus 12 of the tongue remains in the slot 17, and the shoulders 13 of the tongue securely fixed by the narrowed section 19 of the slot 11 from the inside on the second side element 5.

Plastic or cardboard cups with drinks are inserted into the assembled tray. In this case, the petals 8 deflect, passing the cup inside the tray, which is installed on the bottom of the tray, and the petals 8, trying to return to their original position, hold the cup with their pressure on it, which prevents the cup from tilting when the tray moves.

The inventive tray-holder is easy to assemble. It consists of three movements:

folding a stack of three to four blanks along the fold lines,

combination of side elements of one workpiece,

pressing with thumbs on the lock, closing the side wall. The tray is ready to go.

Assembly takes a few seconds, which is very important in a fast food system, in cafes, coffee shops, hypermarkets with large flows of customers.

Industrial applicability.

The claimed tray-holder can be widely used in cafes, coffee shops, cookery, fast food restaurants, gas stations.

Ensures the safety of buyers and users. Protects hands and makes it possible to comfortably carry hot tea or coffee to your table or workplace, or vehicle.

For the production of the claimed utility model, various well-known and traditional technologies can be used; corrugated cardboard material is usually used in the industry in the manufacture of containers and packaging from cardboard.
