  • the description which follows primarily relates to containers in the form of substantially cylindrical, upwardly tapering disposable coffee cups of the typical kind dispensed from cafes, coffee shops and takeaway restaurants.
  • the invention is thought to be particularly suited to containers in the form of takeaway coffee cups, and the types of containers typically used for dispensing products from McDonald's restaurant outlets, such as soft drinks, coffee, McFlurrys, sundaes and thick shakes.
  • FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 depict a carrier 10 for containers.
  • Carrier 10 is, in the embodiments shown, in the form of a substantially symmetrical tray having an integral structural support, platform or framework 11 and a central disc 16 .
  • a plurality of pairs of opposed retainers 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 are provided for a respective container (not shown in FIG. 1 or 2 but illustrated in FIG. 3 ).
  • Bridges or webs 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 surround central disc 16 and provide edge boundaries for curved inner walls 20 and to connect retainers (also characterised as retaining means) 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 in an integral fashion.
  • each retainer has a substantially circular base 21 , and a stepped holding region 22 , to enable a container to be seated in base 21 .
  • the stepped holding region comprises three recessed, substantially circular, but non-concentric steps which are continuous and circumferential to base 21 .
  • Each step of stepped holding region 22 has an inner perimeter or circumference dimension which is marginally greater than an outer perimeter or circumference of the base of a container of complementary shape placed in carrier 10 .
  • This arrangement facilitates something approximating an interference fit for the base of a container placed and seated in a retainer 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , whereby the outer perimeter or circumference of the container base is placed in intimate contact with a corresponding step of a slightly greater dimension.
  • each retainer 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 are accordingly very specific in dimension or diameter, in order to effectively retain varying cup sizes, particularly those of smaller size.
  • the stepped holding region 22 may comprise a ridge having an outer perimeter or circumference which is marginally smaller than an outer perimeter or circumference of the circumferential rim extending downwardly from the base of the cup placed in the carrier 10 .
  • This arrangement facilitates something approximating an interference fit to be applied to the rim extending downwardly from the base of such a cup placed and seated in a retainer 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , whereby the inner perimeter or circumference of the rim extending downwardly from the cup base is placed in intimate contact with a corresponding ridge of a slightly smaller dimension.
  • Retainers 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 are further prescribed by curver inner wall 20 which extends upwardly and tapers away from base 21 , and curved outer wall segment 23 , which also extends upwardly and tapers outwardly from base 21 .
  • curver inner wall 20 which extends upwardly and tapers away from base 21
  • curved outer wall segment 23 which also extends upwardly and tapers outwardly from base 21 .
  • walls 20 and 23 are joined, but are segmented.
  • curved inner wall 20 includes a pair of fingers, prongs or tongues 25 , 26
  • curved outer wall also carries a finger, prong or tongue 24 .
  • Fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 are sufficiently pliable, compressible or flexible to enable a container to be passed into a retainer 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , seated in base 21 , and held by contact with the fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 , the fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 acting to exert a retaining pressure on or to an outer face of the container.
  • Tray 11 is in the embodiment shown formed from a recycled polypropylene material. That material has been found to provide or impart the desired structural rigidity to tray 11 whilst permitting its use for the formation of other elements of tray 11 including the base of the retainers 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , stepped holding region 22 , and fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 .
  • steps or stepdowns serve primarily for the retention of smaller sized cups
  • pliable fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 don't reach the mid- to upper sides of the cups, principally due to molding limitations.
  • the steps or stepdowns are therefore offset from the centre so that 2 of the fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 touch the sides of, and support, the cup.
  • Pliable fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 are, in the embodiments shown, joined at the top and bottom of curved inner and outer walls 20 , 23 for strength and to maintain a closed base 21 to catch liquid if a beverage is spilt from a container.
  • the base of fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 extend inwardly as far to the cups as they can without limiting larger cup sizes.
  • the upright of finger, prong or tongue 24 , 25 , 26 is then drafted out at approximately 1°, allowing it to extend inwardly as far as it can so to reach narrower cup sizes as it rises.
  • fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 have a long substantially vertical section that acts as a spring when needed to move out of the way following the application of manual finger pressure to the container in a retention or release phase.
  • tops of fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 move away from the main body of the finger, prong or tongue 24 , 25 , 26 at a near vertical angle to allow them to rotate down and out of the path of movement of the container.
  • Holes or slots 26 , 28 on either side of fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 are provided to give them freedom from the main body of the finger, prong or tongue and to allow them to flex.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the versatility of carrier 10 in being able to accommodate cups and containers 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 of differing shapes, heights, and dimensions.
  • FIG. 4 shows the underside of a typical central disc 16 according to one embodiment of the invention.
  • Disc 16 is removable from carrier 10 , and includes a cross-brace 40 in the shape of an ‘X’ or a cross and toothed legs or projections 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 enabling it to be removably attached to carrier 10 by finger pressure to lever disc 10 out/away from carrier 10 as shown in FIG. 5 .
  • carrier 10 Apart from assisting in providing structural rigidity to carrier 10 , it presents a vehicle for advertising, and can be used to print data such as, by way of example, a corporate logo, or an environmental message onto it instead of having to deboss carrier 10 and create a new tool. Its removable nature permits that component to be sent to a printer, to have a logo or other indicia affixed, and have it returned for reattachment to carrier 10 .
  • the underside of carrier 10 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 includes strengthening ribs or fins 60 to assist in providing overall structural support to carrier 10 .
  • the designated purchaser of, for example, a morning round of coffees for an office takes carrier 10 from a stored place in the office, or is otherwise presented at purchase with a carrier 10 from the outlet from which the coffees are to be purchased, such as a cafe, coffee shop or takeaway restaurant.
  • Coffee cups are pressed by applying manual finger pressure to them into retainers 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 of carrier 10 , pass pliable, compressible or flexible fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 , and are seated in respective bases 21 .
  • the cupos Due to the close circumferential fit between the inner circumference of steps of stepped holding regions 22 and the outer circumference of the coffee cups, and the pressure exerted to outer wall of the cups by fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 , the cupos are seated snugly in their respective retainer bases 21 and are prevented from moving.
  • the cups may be released once they arrive back at their destination by an upward application of manual finger pressure to pass the cups beyond fingers, prongs or tongues 24 , 25 , 26 and to thereby withdraw them from carrier 10 .
  • carrier 10 By reason of its construction, and the reusable nature of carrier 10 as described, it is thought to contribute to the container carrier/tray art.
