i cur-DMP ATTACHMENT.
Application 1ed August 11, 1.92.7. Serial No. 212,313.
This invention relates to a cup drip attachinentand it consists in the novel features hereinafter described and claimed.
An object of the invention is to provid 5 an attachment adapted to be applied to the bottom and side wall portions o-a cup and which will normally t snugly against the surfaces of the cup and having its features so assembled and related that any dripwhich cup is caught and retained in ment.
ln the dispensation of l'quids at lunchrooms and restaurants considerable trouble i5 and annoyance is caused by the drip of the liquid from the rims of the cups or mugs used. This dri accumulates upon the tray or runs :from t e' bottom of the cup upon the top of the table and frequently soils the au clothing of the customer especially the sleeves. The present device is designed to prevent such sloppness and also to effect a saving inthe wages which are usually paid to attendants for washing the tables after as the diner has used the same. This, of course,
means quite a reduction in the overhead expenses of the restaurant keeper.
With this object in view the attachment consists'of a blank originally in the form of a disk and havin a circular central area adapted to be app 'ed to the bottom surface ci the cup or mug. Said blank is provided with an annular marginal area adapted to be crimped up against the side surface of the cup or mu The creases forming the crimp are radial y disposed with relation to the center of the blank. A coating of adhesive is ap lied to the central area of the blank and t ecoating is extended into the margi- 4@ nal area thereof along the inwardly disthe attachnis adhesive serves the double function of causing the attachment to adhere tothe bottom surface and portions of the side surface ci the mug land also serves asmeans for shri the marginal area of the blank.9
in radia lines, so that the said marginal area will normally tsnugly against the side surface of the mu When the\ drip runs im down the side of t e mug from the rim it comes. in contact with the exposed edge of the marginal area and is absorbed by the said marginal area causing the portions thereof lying between the folds of the crimp 5,5 having the adhesive thereon to expand, thereby Jforming pockets which may receive and detached;
posed folds of the creases of the crimps.`
retain any further overflow descending from the rim of the mug.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation of a mug showing the drip attachment applied thereto;
' Figure 2 is a plan view ott the attachment Figure 3 is a horizontal fragmentary sec- Itional view of' the cup and attachment; tu may gravitate or spill from the rim of the Figure 4 is a lvertical fragmentary sectional view of the cup attachment.
The cup drip attachment consists of a blank `1 of porous material preferably paper, said blank being originally in the form of a disk and provided with a circular central area 2 and an annular marginal area 3.' The said marginal area is provided withl radially disposed rcreases or crimps 4 and the said central and marginal areas join with each other at the circular bend line or fold 5. A
coating 6 of adhesive such as mucilage or glue is applied to the surface of the central area 2 and the said coatingA is extended in the form of radially disposed 'spicules along the portions of the surface of the marginal area 3 lying between the creases 4.
' The attachment is applied to the mug by slightly moisten/ing the coating of adhesive it is located so that the marginal area ts snugly against the side surface of the mug. Thus mugs having the attachment applied thereto may be easily stacked, one upon the other, or may be readily carried and the attachment presents no obstructing projection. en a liquid is dispensed inthe mug and the mug is bein moved, any drip which may f run over the-e ge of the mu will descend along the side surface thereo and come in contact with the upwardly disposed and exposed edge of the marginal area 3 of the blank. The said liquid will be absorbed by the material of the blank and as the portions of the marginal area lyin between the lines ci the coating soak up t e liquid the said bulge outwardly from the mug y"and`which will receive any further drip which may drain from the upper edge of .the mug.
portions will expand forming pockets which lll) Thus the said drip is retained within the attachment and does not come in contact with the surface of a serving tray, table top or articles of clothing. Furthermore, the retention of the drip will have a tendency to soften the adhesive and when the user is finished with the mug, the adhesive will be reducedto such a soft condition that the attachment may be readily removed from the mug by using a little force or pressure.
Having described the inventionf what is claimed is `1. A cup drip attachment comprising a blank of porous material originally in the form of a disk, said blank having central and marginal areas, the marginal area being provided with creasesradially disposed with relation to the blank, and a coating of ad- 'hesive vapplied to the central area of the blank and extended in radial lines across the marginal area of the blank.
2. A cupvdrip attachment comprising a blank of porous material originally in the form of a disk, said blankhaving central and marginal areas', the marginal area being provided With creases radially dis osed with relation to the blank, and a coating of adhesive applied to the central area of the blank and extended in radial lines across the marginal area ofthe blank, saidL extended portions of the coating lying between the creases.
3. A cup drip attachment-(comprising a and lying between the creases.
