Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a holder to support a lid on the side of a coffee cup.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Many stores that provide drinks to customers in paper or cardboard cups with a removable lid also provides stations for the customers to add additional ingredients to the drink, such as, for example, cream and/or sugar. In order for the customer to add these ingredients, however, the customer must remove the lid and placed the lid down on a counter or other surface. Such surfaces may be laden with bacteria that are then transferred to the lid and then possibly to the customer.
- It would be beneficial to provide a device that allows the customer to remove the lid from the cup and secure the lid to the cup in such a way that the lid is out of the way, allowing the customer to add the desired ingredients to his/her drink, thereby reducing the risk of contamination of the lid.
- Briefly, the present invention provides a holder for supporting a lid on an outside of a cup. The holder comprises an extension portion adapted to secure to the lid and a curved cup engagement portion extending from the extension portion.
- Additionally, the present invention provides a lid assembly for a cup. The cup has an annular bead extending around an outer periphery thereof. The lid comprises a lid having an annular passage extending around a periphery thereof. The annular passage is sized to releasably grip the annular bead. A lid holder is attached to the lid. The lid holder comprises an extension portion extending away from the lid and a curved cup engagement portion extending from the extension portion, distal from the lid.
- Further, the present invention provides a method of securing a lid to a cup. The method comprises providing the lid assembly described above, the cup having an annular bead extending around an outer periphery thereof; removing the lid assembly from the cup; moving the lid assembly relative to the cup such that the lid is not vertically over the cup; placing the curved cup engagement portion over the bead; and forcing the curved cup engagement portion downwardly over the bead.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated herein and constitute part of this invention, illustrate the presently preferred embodiments of the invention, and, together with the general description given above and the detailed description given below, serve to explain the features of the invention. In the drawings:
-
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a lid assembly according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention for use with a cup; -
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of an inventive portion of the lid assembly according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention attached to the cup; -
FIG. 3 is an enlarged version of a lid holder portion of the lid assembly shown inFIG. 1 , taken alongline 3 ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a first perspective view of the lid holder according to the present invention, without the lid; -
FIG. 5 is a second perspective view of the live holder according to the present invention, without the lid; and -
FIG. 6 is a sectional view of the inventive portion of the lid assembly according to the first exemplary embodiment of the present invention with the lid holder engaging the cup. - In the drawings, like numerals indicate like elements throughout. Certain terminology is used herein for convenience only and is not to be taken as a limitation on the present invention. The terminology includes the words specifically mentioned, derivatives thereof and words of similar import. As used herein, “inner” or “inward” refers to a direction toward a longitudinal axis of a cup, and “outer” or “outward” refers to the opposite direction. “Upper” refers to a direction along the longitudinal axis from the cup upward, toward the lid, and “lower” refers to the opposite direction, and above or below are with reference to the relative positions along the longitudinal axis of the cup using the same orientation as “upper” and “lower.” The embodiments illustrated below are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed. These embodiments are chosen and described to best explain the principle of the invention and its application and practical use and to enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention.
- Reference herein to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearances of the phrase “in one embodiment” in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments necessarily mutually exclusive of other embodiments. The same applies to the term “implementation.”
- As used in this application, the word “exemplary” is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects or designs. Rather, use of the word exemplary is intended to present concepts in a concrete fashion.
- Additionally, the term “or” is intended to mean an inclusive “or” rather than an exclusive “or”. That is, unless specified otherwise, or clear from context, “X employs A or B” is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X employs A; X employs B; or X employs both A and B, then “X employs A or B” is satisfied under any of the foregoing instances. In addition, the articles “a” and “an” as used in this application and the appended claims should generally be construed to mean “one or more” unless specified otherwise or clear from context to be directed to a singular form.
- One embodiment of the present invention is a holder that may be employed with a lid of a conventional disposable cup for a beverage container having a bead located about the periphery of an opening of the cup. A cup lid having an annular recess engages with the cup bead. The holder extends outwardly from the annular recess and allows a user to remove the cup lid from the cup and secure the lid to the cup while exposing the open top of the cup.
- Referring to
FIG. 1 ,cup 50 has abottom 52,sidewalls 54 and abead 56 around the periphery or open top ofcup 50.Cup 50 includes alongitudinal axis 58 extending therethrough.Sidewalls 54 are typically tapered at a slight angle to allow stacking of a plurality ofcups 50, although the present invention may be employed in lids for cups that do not have angledsidewalls 54.Cup 50 may be of the disposable type of cups, which are typically made of paper with a rolledbead 56 as shown, or they can be made of various plastic materials with a rolled bead or solid bead.Beads 54 typically have a generally circular cross-section, and that includesbeads 54 with an oval shape as formed or as deformed during stacking and shipping, and that includesbeads 54 with a rounded upper edge and a slightly flattened outer facing edge, or even a slightly flattened bottom edge. In addition, the present invention may be used with lids forcups having beads 54 that comprise a flange, projection, or any non-circular cross-section, and with cups may not be disposable. - A closure, or
lid assembly 100, releasably fastens to the top ofcup 50. In an exemplary embodiment,lid assembly 100 is made of thin, vacuum formed plastic, typically styrene, and is typically about 0.015-0.020 inches thick. However, it will be appreciated thatlid assembly 100 may be made of biodegradable materials, and other materials, such as polymers, polyesters, polyolefins, polycarbonates, polyamides, polyethers, polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, silicone, silicone rubber, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and metal alloys. -
Lid assembly 100 includes alid 101 that has anannular passage 102 extending 360 degrees around a periphery thereof.Annular passage 102 is sized to releasably gripannular bead 56, as shown inFIG. 2 . Alid holder 110 is attached tolid 101 and extends outwardly fromlid 101. Unlikeannular passage 102 that extends 360 degrees aroundlid 101,lid holder 110 extends only partially aroundlid 101, such as, for example, about 15 degrees. - Referring to
FIGS. 3-5 ,lid holder 110 includes anextension portion 112 extending away from lid 101 (for clarity,lid 101 is only shown inFIG. 3 ).Extension portion 112 extends in a plane, with aperforation 113 extending therealong.Perforation 113 is shown inFIG. 5 as a plurality of holes formed throughextension portion 112, thereby weakeningextension portion 112 and allowinglid holder 110 to be easily separated fromlid 101, such as by tearing. - A curved
cup engagement portion 114 extends fromextension portion 112, distal fromlid 101. In an exemplary embodiment, curvedcup engagement portion 114 defines an arc a greater than 180 degrees and, in an alternative exemplary embodiment, curvedcup engagement portion 114 defines an arc a of about 270 degrees. - A
lift tab 116 extends from curvedcup engagement portion 114, distal fromextension portion 112.Lift tab 116 comprises a connectingportion 118 connected to curvedcup engagement portion 114, an offsetportion 120 connected to connectingportion 118, distal from curvedcup engagement portion 114, and agrip portion 122 connected to offsetportion 120, distal from connectingportion 118. - Connecting
portion 118 extends in a first plane P1 extending perpendicularly from the plane of the paper ofFIG. 3 and offsetportion 120 extends in a second plane P2 extending perpendicularly from the plane of the paper ofFIG. 3 at an angle oblique to first plane P2.Grip portion 122 extends in a third plane P3 extending perpendicularly from the plane of the paper ofFIG. 3 at an angle oblique to second plane P2. Third plane P3 extends generally parallel to first plane P1. - While
FIGS. 1-3 show and describelid holder 110 as an integral part oflid assembly 100, those skilled in the art will recognize thatlid holder 110 can be formed separately fromlid 101 and attached tolid 101 at a later time.Lid holder 110 can be secured tolid 101 by known means such as, but not limited to, adhesive, ultrasonic welding, or other known processes. - An exemplary method of using
lid assembly 100 will now be described.Lid assembly 100 can be provided oncup 50, as is standard when a customer receivescup 50 from a vendor. When the customer desires to add ingredients, such as, for example, sugar and or cream to the drink incup 50, the customer removeslid assembly 100 fromcup 50 and moveslid assembly 100 relative tocup 50 such thatlid 101 is not vertically overcup 50. The customer places curvedcup engagement portion 114 overbead 56, such thatlid 101 is outside the cup andlift tab 116 extends within the perimeter of the cup. The customer then forces curvedcup engagement portion 114 downwardly overbead 56 to the position shown inFIG. 6 . - After the user has added the desired ingredients, the user can grip
lift tab 116 and pulllift tab 116 upwardly, opening up curvedcup engagement portion 114, and allowinglid holder 110 to be separated frombead 56 so thatlid assembly 100 can be removed fromcup 50. - It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes could be made to the embodiments described above without departing from the broad inventive concept thereof. It is understood, therefore, that this invention is not limited to the particular embodiments disclosed, but it is intended to cover modifications within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
