Abstract
A wine drinking glass including a bowl body defining a receptacle area for containing wine therein having an opening at a first end, the bowl body having an inner surface and an outer surface; and an extended rim formed on the perimeter of the opening, having a geometric cross-section that creates an internal facing portion of the extended rim with a convex shape.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a drinking glass for containing liquid, and more particularly to a wine glass having a rim that prohibits the dripping of wine from the rim after drinking from the wine glass.
- 2. Related Art
- One may find numerous innovations for wine glasses that enhance or heighten the wine drinking experience. However, none of these innovations are directed to a wine drinking glass that includes a rim of the wine glass that prohibits wine from dripping along the outside of the glass in the manner of the present invention.
- In one aspect, a wine drinking glass is provided which includes a bowl body defining a receptacle area for containing wine therein. The bowl body as includes an opening at a first end, and has an inner surface and an outer surface. An extended rim is formed on the perimeter of the opening. The extended rim has a geometric cross-section that creates an internal facing portion of the extended rim with a convex shape.
- This brief summary has been provided so that the nature of this disclosure may be understood quickly. A more complete understanding of the disclosure can be obtained by reference to the following detailed description of the various embodiments thereof in connection with the attached drawings.
- The foregoing features and other features of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to the drawings of an illustrated embodiment. In the drawings, the same components have the same reference numerals. The illustrated embodiment is intended to illustrate, but not to limit the disclosure. The drawings include the following Figures:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wine drinking glass in accordance with an embodiment; -
FIG. 2 is a side view of the wine glass ofFIG. 1 and -
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view ofFIG. 2 in accordance with an embodiment; and -
FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the extended rim in accordance with an embodiment. -
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a wine drinking glass 100 (hereinafter (“wine glass 100”) in accordance with an embodiment.FIG. 2 is a side view of thewine glass 100 andFIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view ofFIG. 2 in accordance with an embodiment. - Referring now to
FIGS. 1-3 , thewine glass 100 includes abowl body 102 having anouter surface 104, and aninner surface 106. Thebowl body 102 defines anopening 108. An extendedrim 110 is formed on the perimeter of theopening 108 to provide a physical obstacle to the wine from dripping out of theopening 108. This barrier prevents the wine from traversing down theouter surface 104 of thewine glass 100 once a drink has been taken from thewine glass 100. - The
extended rim 110 of thebowl body 102 may be formed as a barrier having a geometric cross-section that includes a circular cross section or other geometric shapes such as oval, elliptical and half shapes thereof. As shown inFIG. 4 , extendedrim 110 includes an internal facingportion 112 that faces intoopening 108 and an external facingportion 114 that faces external to theopening 108. The internal facingportion 112 provides a convex surface that mates to the end of theinner surface 106 of thebowl body 102 at a point below the extendedrim 110. The external facing portion may also provide a convex surface that mates to theouter surface 104 at a point below theextended rim 110. - Operationally, when a person tilts the wine drinking
glass 100 beyond vertical to take a drink of a liquid from within the glass, the liquid can be made to pour over the extendedrim 110. Usually this occurs when the person's lips are pursed onto the edge of the wine glass opening so that the liquid can enter the person's mouth and the person can “drink” the liquid. However, as the person tilts thewine glass 100 back towards a vertical orientation, the concavity of the internal facingportion 112 creates a barrier that causes the liquid to move away from the edge of theopening 108 back into thewine glass 100. - In one embodiment, as shown in
FIGS. 1-3 , thewine glass 100 may include anornamental feature 120 that creates alip portion 122 that circumvents theouter surface 104. Thelip portion 122 is the termination of anupper portion 124 ofwine glass 100 as it merges into alower portion 126 ofwine glass 100. Thelip portion 122 is created at the merger of the two portions since theupper portion 122 has a different thickness than thelower portion 126. The merger of the upper and lower portions of the wine glass may occur at substantially the center of the wine glass but may also be positioned at any location along theouter surface 104. As thelip portion 122 circumvents thewine glass 100, thelip portion 122 may form a serpentine shape. - In some embodiments, the
wine glass 100 may be made of glass. In other embodiments, thewine glass 100 may be made of an acrylic glass, preferably an acrylic glass that may withstand exposure to high temperatures. - Although the present disclosure has been described with reference to specific embodiments, these embodiments are illustrative only and not limiting. Many other applications and embodiments of the present disclosure will be apparent in light of this disclosure and the following claims.
