MARCUS 'W. WOLF, JR, 0F BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
COLLAPSIBLE DRINKING-CUP.
Specification (if-Letters Patent. Patgnted g e, 5, 1916 Application filed December 22, 1915. Serial No. 68,108.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, Marcus W. VVOLF, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improve ments in Collapsible Drinking-Cups, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved collapsible sanitary drinking cup and has for its object to provide an inexpensive paper or fabric cup which when. new may be collapsed into a flat condition; sealed against use, and which when opened for use will be left in a condition that will indicate that it has been tampered with, opened or used, so that a person may know when he takes a cup for use, whether the cup is free of all evidences of prior use.
With these objects in view, the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein,
Figure 1, shows the out blank ready for folding into the form of a cup. Fig. 2, illustrates the cup in a collapsed and sealed condition, and Fig. 3, shows the same broken openand extended ready for use.
In carrying out the invention, the particular shape of the blank and in fact the general outline or shape of the completed cup when collapsed is immaterial, but in the present instance I have adopted for illustrative purposes a blank 4, having a point 5, and two straight edges (3 and 7 extending from the point in a diverging direction whereby to produce a blank of sectoral shape. For convenience in disclosure, the blank may be said to comprise an intermediate portion 8, and opposite side portions 9 and 10 respectively, the extent of the two side'portions and the intermediate portion being determined by the broken lines 11 and 12, respectively, which lines represent fold lines along which the side portions are to be turned back against the intermediateportion. In the present instance the intermediate portion 8, of the blank has a tab 13, at its.
outer edge 15 which tab is .produced by two spaced-apart incisionsll, that are made in the blank and which extend inwardly from said outer edge, and from the slits or incisions 14, the said edge 15, of the intermediate portion is curved so as to preferably form the tab at the highest point of the said curved edge.
. The side portion 9, of the blank has the straight edge 6, which in the present illustration will be deemed the under-lapping edge when the two side portions are folded over toward each other and laid against the intermediate portions 8. The outer edge 16, of the side portion 9, is also curved and has a drop or cut-away portion at 17, adjacent to the straight edge 6.
The side portion 10, of the blank is provided with the straight edge 7, which latter edge will be the overlapping edge when the two side portions are/folded toward each other. This side portion also has a curved outer edge 18, with a cut-away or drop 19, as the curve approaches the straight edge 7. Between the straight edge 7, and the cut away, or drop 19, the side portion 10 has at its outer edge a tab 20, which projects oatwardly.
One surface of the cup blank along the straight edge 7, and the same surface of tab 20, are shown as having a coating of adhesive material 21, and in the present illustration, the inner surface of tab 13, which is integral with the intermediate portion 8,
is also shown as having a coating of ad hesive material.
After the blank has been formed as seen in Fig. 1, the side portion 9, is folded on the line 11, and laid back against the interme diate portion 8L The other side portion 10, is'then folded on the line 12, and laid against the intermediate portion, with its adhesivecoated edge 7 overlapping the edge 6. This folding of the two side portions will bring the tab 20, of one side portion into register with the tab 13, on the intermediate portion so that the two edges 6 and 7 andthe two overlapping tabs 20, and 13 may be secured together by the adhesive .material. The point end 5, may then be folded up on the outside of and secured to the outer sideof the side portion 10, as shown in Fig. 2. When the cup is in collapsed condition the two overlapped tabs 13 and 20 are at the center of the broad top end. By securing the tabs 13 and 20, together the'open end of the cup will be secured in a flat coliapsed condition and the cup cannot be used while the tabs are so secured. When it is desired to use the cup,a person may readily grasp the two secured-together tabs 13 and 20 and tear them off thereby removing the means that holds the two walls of the cup together when the Walls are in a flat position, whereupon the cup may be opened for use. By thus removing the two tabs a notch 22, will be left in each of the cup walls, as shown in Fig. 3, thus indicating that the cup has been tampered with or used. It will also be seen that by providing the two cut-away or drop portions '17 and 1.9 in the edge of one Wall only of the cup and at oppositesides of the secured-together tabs, the upper edge of said wall will be somewhat lower than the opposite wall of the cup, so that the two walls when flat may be readily separated by the fin gels, in case the material of which the cup isformcd is too flexible to cause the walls to bulge when pressure is applied to the opposite folded edges 26 shown in Fig. 2. By sectlring the mouth-end of the cup walls together at the time the cup is new-and clean,
cup,
memes the interior will soiled.
Having described my invention what E claim is,-
A paper drinking cup having its bottom end permanently closed, and upper end having twe tabs which are torn'ied troin the same paper blank that also forms wall of the cap, said tabs projecting forw when said upper end is closed--eaeh tab being attached at an oppositeside wail of the so that when the cap is collapsed a flat condition said two tabs will overlap each other and adhere together and form a fastening to keep the two side walls at said. top end fastened only at the center, leaving said top ends of the wall unfastened at opposite sides of the adhering tabs.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
