Abstract
A mug that is normally too large to fit into a vehicle cup holder is fitted with a hollow base member that is appropriately sized. When the elements are combined, the resulting mug can be conveniently carried in a vehicle cup holder. The base member can be used to carry beverage accessories such sugar, sweetener, creamer, or tea or cocoa. It is also possible to sore liquids in the base member, such as extra coffee if the user wishes more than the mug can hold. Gaskets can be used to prevent leakage and cover members can be provided to close the base member when not connected to the mug.
Description
- This is a continuation-in-part of the provisional patent application S. No. 60/226,657, filed Aug. 21, 2000.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to beverage containers and, more particularly to a cup or mug which can easily be converted into a beverage container that can readily fit into the cup holders currently being installed in vehicles. Further, the element which converts the cup to a traveling beverage container or travel mug may itself serve as a storage container.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- It has been known in the prior art to provide travel mugs which are adapted to fit into the cup holders found on most motor vehicles. These cup holders are generally sized to hold a conventional soda can and cups, or other containers of the same or smaller diameters can be carried in such holders.
- Most of the mugs intended for beverages are generally larger in diameter and cannot, without alteration of some sort, fit into a beverage holder. Many cups or mugs include handles which would prevent a container of the appropriate diameter from fitting into the holder. Frequently the alteration is in the form of a generally cylindrical segment of smaller overall diameter than the upper portion of the mug so that a sufficient length can be placed within a cup holder and the mug will be stable. If the problem is caused by a handle, then the cylindrical segment need only be long enough to rest securely within the cup holder, without a change in diameter.
- In the prior art, beverage containers have been provided with false bottoms that can serve as storage elements for packets of sweetener, creamer, powdered cocoa or coffee or even tea bags. Such false bottoms have generally the same diameter as the base of the mug or cup to which they attach and merely add to the overall height of the beverage container.
- According to the present invention, a cylindrical base element adapted to fit into and be held by a vehicle cup holder is adapted to connect to a beverage container that would otherwise not fit into a cup holder. In a first embodiment, the beverage container is provided with male threads and the cylindrical base element is provided with mating female threads. An elastomeric gasket provides a resilient non slip base for the container and can act as a fluid tight seal when the base element is attached.
- According to an alternative embodiment, the container base is provided with female threads. An elastomeric gasket element provides a container base as in the other embodiment. However, in this embodiment, the base portion can be fitted with a threaded closure which converts the base portion into a separate container which can be carried in a vehicle cup holder.
- As in prior art devices, the base portion can be used for storage of materials for making beverages including products such as sweeteners, creamers, powdered or concentrated beverages and packets of tea or coffee. The base portion extends sufficiently deeply into the cup holder so that the combination is secure and stable. Moreover, due to its greater depth, the base portion may store larger volumes of solid or even liquid materials.
- The novel features which are characteristic of the invention, both as to structure and method of operation thereof, together with further objects and advantages thereof, will be understood from the following description, considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which the preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated by way of example. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for the purpose of illustration and description only, and they are not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective exploded view of a convertible travel mug according to a first embodiment;
- FIG. 2 is a side view of the embodiment of FIG. 1, showing the convertible mug with an attached base portion;
- FIG. 3 is a perspective exploded view of a convertible mug according to a first alternative embodiment;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the base portion of the convertible mug of FIG. 3;
- FIG. 5 is a side view of the mug of FIG. 3 assembled;
- FIG. 6 is an exploded view of a convertible mug according to a second alternative embodiment;
- FIG. 7 is a perspective exploded view of a convertible mug according to a third alternative embodiment;
- FIG. 8 is a perspective exploded view of the base portion of the mug of FIG. 7, showing a closure top for the base portion; and
- FIG. 9 is an exploded side view of a convertible mug according to a fourth alternative embodiment of the invention.
- Turning first to FIGS. 1 and 2, there is shown a convertible cup or
mug 10 according to the present invention. Themug 10 includes an upper,cup portion 12 and a lower,base portion 14 which may be considered an auxiliary cup. The lower,base portion 14 is hollow and may store liquids or dry materials such as packets of sugar, sweeteners, tea bags, instant coffee, cocoa or chocolate or other powdered beverages. In themug 10 of the preferred embodiment, the diameter of thecup portion 12 is normally greater than could be accommodated by the cup holders found in modern motor vehicles. - The
base portion 14 has, at its upper circumference, a threadedsection 16. Thebase portion 14 has a diameter which is normally equal to or slightly smaller than the openings in the cup holders found in modern motor vehicles. The height of the base portion can vary but is intended to be adequate to support thecup portion 12 when coupled together in a cup holder with reasonable security. - The cup portion includes a
handle 18 and arecessed bottom 20 and an internally threadedcircumferential wall 22 which is adapted to receive the threadedsection 16 of thebase portion 14. Thecircumferential wall segment 22 has affixed to it anelastomeric ring 24 upon which thecup portion 12 may rest when not fitted with thebase portion 14. - The
base portion 12 is attached to the cup portion by inserting the threadedsection 16 of the base portion into the threads of thecircumferential wall 22. When so combined, the resulting travel mug can easily and securely carried in the cup holder of the modern vehicle. - FIGS. 3, 4 and5 show an alternative embodiment of the convertible travel mug of the present invention. The
travel mug 30 includes anupper cup portion 32 and alower base portion 34. As in thecup portion 12 of FIGS. 1 and 2, thecup portion 32 has at its base an externally threadedportion 36 which extends below the bottom of thecup portion 32 to create arecess 38 into which anelastomeric ring 40 may be placed to provide a soft, non slip interface between thecup portion 32 and any surface upon which it may rest. - In this embodiment, the
base portion 34 is provided with an interiorly threadedcircumferential wall portion 42 of a diameter which approximates that of thecup portion 32. This allows thewall portion 42 to fit over and mate with thethreads 36 of thecup portion 32. As with the other embodiment, the diameter of thecup portion 32 is greater than the opening of a conventional cup holder while the diameter of thebase portion 34 is comparable to the opening of a cup holder and can be easily accommodated therein. - FIG. 5 shows the
converted travel mug 30 after thebase portion 34 has been threaded on to thecup portion 32. Theresultant mug 30 is intended to be stable and secure when being carried in the cup holder of a vehicle. Moreover, theelastomeric ring 40 can serve as a sealing element between thecup 32 andbase 34 portions when coupled together, thereby securing the contents of thebase portion 34. - Another alternative embodiment is shown in FIG. 6. In this
embodiment 50, which includes acup portion 52 and abase portion 54, thecup portion 52 is fitted, at its bottom, with a exteriorly threadedcircumferential wall segment 56. Thebase portion 54 has aninterior thread 58 in the circumferential wall which can receive thewall segment 56. The diameter of thecup portion 52 is greater than the opening in a cup holder and the diameter of thebase portion 54 is small enough to fit into a cup holder. - The embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8, provides a covered container which can be used separately from the combination. To accomplish this, a convertible mug60 also includes a cup and base portion, 62, 64. The
cup portion 62 has, its bottom, arecess 66 with a threadedwall 68. Thebase portion 64 includes an exteriorly threaded recessedwall 70. Acap element 72 hasinterior threads 74 on thewall segment 76 that is fitted over the recessedwall 70 of thebase portion 64. In a variation, the cap element may be adapted to fit over the bottom of the base portion for storage when it is not needed to close the base portion. - In FIG. 9, there is shown an alternative embodiment of a convertible mug80 which may have a diameter that is small enough to fit into a cup holder but which cannot easily be used in a cup holder because of a
handle 82 which cannot be fitted into the opening of a conventional cup holder. Although the mug 80 has a slight taper, the presence of the handle requires an extension that can rest in the cup holder comfortably and reliably. In the embodiment shown, thecup portion 84 has exteriormale threads 86 at its bottom and correspondingfemale threads 88 are found in thebase portion 90. - Here, the
base portion 90 need only be long enough to provide a stable cooperation between the mug 80 and the cup holder of the vehicle so that it will not easily tip out. - In all of the embodiments, a removable base portion is provided that converts a mug into a travel mug that can be accommodate3d in the cup holder of a vehicle.
- While there has been disclosed and described a convertible travel mug in several embodiments, the scope of the invention should be limited only by the scope of the claims appended hereto.
