Description
Dec. 5, 1933. G G BEHRENS 1,937,939-
COMB INAT I ON PACKAGE Filed March 16, 1953 INVENTOR (y G. G. BEHRENs,
Mg awmQ ATTORNEY Patented Dec. 5, 1933 UNITED. STATES PATENT OFFICE Claims.
This invention relates to a combination package, and it has for its object to provide a novel type of uniting means between a cup and a saucer whereby the whole may be caused to 5 constitute a closed container adapted for the reception of solids or semi-solids, such as tea, cocoa, jelly, soup, cosmetics, paste, and the like. When the contents have been removed or consumed, the cup and saucer remain as objects of permanent utility.
In the accompanying drawing:
Figure 1 is a sectional view of the saucer inverted.
Figure 2 is a sectional perspective view of a novel type of rubber ring constituting the uniting means between the saucer and the cup and Figure 3 is a sectional view of a cup.
Figure 4 is a sectional perspective of cup, saucer and ring in assembled relation.
The saucer 5 is of conventional form and requires no particular description. Its bottom portion may, if desired, be polygonal in shape, as for example, hexagonal, so that it may be more easily grasped for turning in such manner that its lower edge '7 may be caused to ride down into the grooves or threads 80f a, preferably, rubber ring 9.
This ring comprises the inwardly extending portion 10 which terminates in the downwardly extending bifurcated lip 11. The opening between these lips is enlarged, as indicated at 12, in such manner that the lips are caused to closely hug the upper edge portion 13 of the cup 14; this opening or channel 12 serving to 35 create such a suction or vacuum as to cause the lips 11 to very tightly hug the cup.
Thus, with the edge of the cup held by suction between the lips 11 and the lower edge of the saucer engaged with the threads 8 of ring 9, thewhole constitutes a completely closed container in which soup, beverage, or any other suitable liquid, solid, or semi-solid may be served or sold.
A package of this sort constitutes a highly attractive article to merchants who, by its means, are able to serve their commodities in such fashion as to cause them to be eagerly sought for by housewives; it being apparent that if the housewife can get a cup and. saucer free with a given purchase she will be very likely to buy the brand which gives her that desirable result. Further, this article provides means for serving soup, and the like in heated condition; 55 the substantially hermetical sealing of the package serving to maintain the heat over a very considerable period of time.
If it be desired to form an especially tight joint between the cup and the ring, the inner side surfaces of the lips may be painted with a cement easily soluble in water so that the ring can be readily removed when the contents are to be consumed or used.
It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the precise construction set forth, but that it includes within is purview whatever changes fairly come within either the terms or the spirit of the appended claims.
Having described my invention, what I claim 1. The combination with a cup and saucer, of a rubber connecting ring adapted to connect the upper edge of the cup and the outer edge of the saucer, when the latter is in inverted position, said ring comprising a channeled downwardly extending portion adapted to engage the upper edge of the cup and an upstanding flange of materially greater diameter than said downwardly extending portion and within which the outer edge of the inverted saucer is received.
2. A package of the character described comprising a cup, an inverted saucer, and an interposed ring between. the two for positively connecting the same to form a closed chamber between them, said ring comprising a member adapted to fit over the upper edge of the cup, and a part of larger diameter for receiving and positively engaging the outer edge of the saucer when the latter is in inverted position.
3. The combination with a cup and a saucer, of a ring having a threaded portion for engagement with the saucer and having a groove for engagement with the edge of the cup.
4. The combination with a cup and a saucer, of a ring having a threaded portion for engage- 95 ment with the saucer and having a groove for engagement with the edge of the cup, said ring being f ormed of resilient material adapted to irictionally engage the edge of the cup.
5. The combination with a cup and saucer, of a rubber ring having at one side an upstanding internally threaded flange and having at the other side a bifurcated annular lip adapted to engage the edge of the cup and hold the same under suction.
GEORGE G. BEHRENS.
