Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

Field of Invention

The present invention relates a beverage container, and more particularly to a beverage container comprising a secure lid handle arrangement which is capable of securely retaining a pivotally movable handle on a lid body.

Description of Related Arts

A conventional container, such as a beverage container for containing water, usually comprises a container body and a lid detachably attached on the container body. The lid usually comprises a lid body and a handle piece movably mounted on the lid body for allowing a user to grab on the handle piece and carry the beverage container.
Conventionally, the connection between the lid body and the handle piece is usually accomplished through a connecting shaft connecting the lid body and the handle piece. As such, the handle piece may have rotating or pivotal movement with respect to the lid body. A major disadvantage of this type of connection is that the connecting shaft is usually exposed to ambient environment so that it may break very easily. The existence of the connecting shaft may also affect the overall aesthetic appearance of the beverage container. Moreover, when the handle is made of metallic material, it is relatively hard to install a connecting shaft on the handle.
Therefore, there is a need to develop a lid for a beverage container in which the handle may be securely yet easily attached on a lid body. Moreover, the overall aesthetic appearance of the container body will not be affected by the connection between the lid body and the handle.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7 of the drawings, a beverage container according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The beverage container may comprise a container body 10 having a container cavity 11, and a lid 20. The beverage container may be used for storing a predetermined amount of liquid, such as water, and may be carried in a portable manner.
The lid 20 may comprise a lid body 21 and a secure lid handle arrangement 22. The lid body 21 may be detachably attached on the container body 10 to selectively enclose the container cavity 11. The lid body 21 may have a circumferential rim surface 213 and a first securing slot 211 formed on the circumferential rim surface 213.
The secure lid handle arrangement 22 may comprise a handle 23 and a first coupling unit 25. The handle 23 may have a first connecting portion 231 and a first coupling slot 232 formed on the first connecting portion 231.
The first coupling unit 25 may comprise a first tubular base member 251 and a first resilient coupler 252. The first tubular base member 251 may extend between the first securing slot 211 of the lid body 21 and the first coupling slot 232 of the handle 23. The first tubular base member 251 may have a first mounting cavity 2511 formed therein.
The first resilient coupler 252 may be received in the first mounting cavity 2511 of the tubular base member 251, and may be arranged to possess a predetermined resilient ability for normally biasing the first tubular base member 251, wherein when the first resilient coupler 252 and the first tubular base member 251 align with the first coupling slot 232 and the first securing slot 211, the first resilient coupler 252 may be arranged to push the first tubular base member 251 into a corresponding the first securing slot 211 or the first coupling slot 232 so as to allow the first tubular base member 251 to extend between the first coupling slot 232 and the first securing slot 211 for securely coupling the handle 23 with the lid body 21 in such a manner that the handle 23 may be capable of rotating with respect to the lid body 21 while the handle 23 may be prevented from detaching therefrom.
Preferably, the first resilient coupler 252 may partially extend in the first coupling slot 232 and may be arranged to push the first tubular base member 251 into the first securing slot 211 so as to allow the first tubular base member 251 to extend between the first coupling slot 232 and the first securing slot 211 for securely coupling the handle 23 with the lid body 21.
According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the container body 10 may be configured or made from metallic or plastic material. The container body 10 may have a generally tubular structure and the container cavity 11 may be arranged to store a predetermined amount of liquid, such as water. The container body 10 may have a circular cross section when viewed from the top.
The lid 20 may be detachably attached on the container body 10 to selectively enclose the container cavity 11. The lid body 21 may also have a cross sectional shape which corresponds to that of the container body 10. The lid body 21 may further have a main portion 214 and a truncated portion 215 to form a biasing shoulder 216 as a boundary between the main portion 214 and the truncated portion 215, wherein the circumferential rim surface 213 of the lid body 21 may be formed as an external circumferential surface of the truncated portion 215.
In this preferred embodiment of the present invention, the biasing shoulder 216 may have a first biasing surface 2161, a second biasing surface 2162 and a limiting surface 2163 extended between the first biasing surface 2161 and the second biasing surface 2162. As shown in FIG. 3 of the drawings, each of the first biasing surface 2161 and the second biasing surface 2162 may extend substantially vertically and along an imaginary center axis of the lid body 21. On the other hand, the limiting surface 2163 may extend along a circumferential direction of the lid body 21.
As shown in FIG. 4 of the drawings, the lid body 21 may further have a second securing slot 212 formed on the circumferential rim surface 213 at a position opposite to the first securing slot 211. The first securing slot 211 and the second securing slot 212 may be formed adjacent to the first biasing surface 2161 and the second biasing surface 2162 respectively, and may be arranged to be connected to the handle 23 in a manner described below.
The handle 23 of the secure handle lid arrangement 20 may be elongated in structure and may further have a second connecting portion 241. The first connecting portion 231 and the second connecting portion 241 may constitute two end portions of the elongated handle 23, and may be coupled to the lid body 21 through the first securing slot 211 and the second securing slot 212 respectively. Thus, the handle 23 may further have a second coupling slot 242 formed on the second connecting portion 241. The first coupling slot 232 and the second coupling slot 242 may be positioned corresponding to the first securing slot 211 and the second securing slot 212 respectively.
The secure lid handle arrangement 22 may further comprise a second coupling unit 26 which may comprise a second tubular base member 261 and a second resilient coupler 262. The second tubular base member 261 may be mounted in the second securing slot 212 of the lid body 21. The second tubular base member 261 may have a second mounting cavity 2611 formed therein. The first coupling unit 25 may be structurally identical to that of the second coupling unit 25, as shown in FIG. 5 of the drawings.
The second resilient coupler 262 may be received in the second mounting cavity 2611 of the second tubular base member 261. The second resilient coupler 262 may be arranged to possess a predetermined resilient ability for normally biasing the second tubular base member 261, wherein when the second resilient coupler 262 aligns with the second coupling slot 242 while the second tubular base member 261 aligns with the second securing slot 212, the second resilient coupler 262 may be arranged to push the second tubular base member 261 into the second securing slot 212 so as to securely couple the handle 23 with the lid body 21 in such a manner that the handle 23 is capable of rotating with respect to the lid body 21 while the handle 23 is prevented from detaching therefrom.
Thus, the handle 23 may be pivotally yet securely coupled to the lid body 21 through the resilient ability of the first resilient coupler 252 and the second resilient coupler 262. Specifically, the first resilient coupler 252 may be configured from soft and deformable material, and may have a first enlarged portion 2521 and a first contracted portion 2522 extended from the first enlarged portion 2521. A diameter of the first enlarged portion 2521 may be greater than that of the first contracted portion 2522.
According to the preferred embodiment of the present invention, each of the first enlarged portion 2521 and the first contracted portion 2522 may have a circular cross section so as to form a column structure. The first enlarged portion 2521 may be completely accommodated in the first tubular base member 251 while the first contracted portion 2522 may extend from the first enlarged portion 2521 to partially expose out of the first tubular base member 251. Thus, when the first contracted portion 2522 is pushed by an external force to deform and receive in the first mounting cavity 2511, the first resilient coupler 252 may exert a corresponding reaction force toward the first tubular base member 251 because the first contracted portion 2522 will try to resume to its original position.
Similarly, the second resilient coupler 262 may also be configured from soft and deformable material, and may have a second enlarged portion 2621 and a second contracted portion 2622 extended from the second enlarged portion 2621. A diameter of the second enlarged portion 2621 may be greater than that of the second contracted portion 2622.
Each of the second enlarged portion 2621 and the second contracted portion 2622 may have a circular cross section so as to form a column structure. The second enlarged portion 2621 may be completely accommodated in the second tubular base member 261 while the second contracted portion 2622 may extend from the second enlarged portion 2621 to partially expose out of the second tubular base member 261. Again, when the second contracted portion 2622 is pushed by an external force to deform and receive in the second mounting cavity 2611, the second resilient coupler 262 may exert a corresponding reaction force toward the second tubular base member 261 because the second contracted portion 2622 will try to resume to its original position.
Note that a diameter of the first tubular base member 251 may correspond to a diameter of the first coupling slot 232 while a diameter of the second tubular base member 261 may correspond to a diameter of the second coupling slot 242. Thus, the first tubular base member 251 may be manually pushed toward the first coupling slot 232 of the first connecting portion 231 of the handle 23 so that the first tubular base member 251 may be inserted and partially accommodated in the first coupling slot 232 by an external force, such as a manual force. At the same time, however, the first resilient coupler 252 which may be received in the first mounting cavity 2511 may normally exert an urging force toward the first tubular base member 251 in the manner described above so as to tend to push the first tubular base member 251 away from the first connecting portion 231.
The second tubular base member 261 may be manually pushed toward the second coupling slot 242 of the second connecting portion 241 of the handle 23 so that the second tubular base member 261 may be inserted and partially accommodated in the second coupling slot 242 by an external force, such as a manual force. At the same time, however, the second resilient coupler 262 which may be received in the second mounting cavity 2611 may normally exert an urging force toward the second tubular base member 261 in the manner described above so as tend to push the second tubular base member 261 away from the second connecting portion 241.
From the forgoing description, one may appreciate that in order to mount the handle 23 on the lid body 21, the first tubular base member 251 and the second tubular base member 261 may be manually pushed toward the first connecting portion 231 and the second connecting portion 241 and the first coupling unit 25 and the second coupling unit 26 may be temporarily deformed or squeezed. The first tubular base member 251 and the second tubular base member 261 may be partially pushed into the first coupling slot 232 and the second coupling slot 242 respectively.
After that, a user of the present invention may manually move the handle 23 until the first tubular base member 251 and the second tubular base member 261 align with the first securing slot 211 and the second securing slot 212 of the lid body 21. Due to the inherent resilient nature of the first coupling unit 25 and the second coupling unit 26, when the first tubular base member 251 and the second tubular base member 261 are moved to correspond to the first securing slot 211 and the second securing slot 212 respectively and the manual force is released, the first tubular base member 251 and the second tubular base member 261 may be pushed by the first coupling unit 25 and the second coupling unit 26 to move into the first securing slot 211 and the second securing slot 212. As such, the first tubular base member 251 may extend between the first securing slot 211 and the first coupling slot 232, while the second tubular base member 261 may extend between the second securing slot 212 and the second coupling slot 242. This engagement may couple the handle 23 with the lid body 21 in a pivotally movable manner, and the handle 23 may be secured on the lid body 21 and may be prevented from being detached therefrom.
Note that a pivotal movement of the handle 23 may be limited by the first biasing surface 2161, the second biasing surface 2162 and the limiting surface 2163 of the biasing shoulder 216 because the pivotal movement of the handle 23 may be restricted by the first biasing surface 2161, the second biasing surface 2162 and the limiting surface 2163 as the handle 23 pivotally moves with respect to the lid body 21.
Since the first securing slot 211 and the second securing slot 212 may be formed on an inner surface of the handle 23, when the handle 23 is coupled with the lid body 21, a user of the present invention will not be able to detach the handle 23 from the lid body 21 by exerting sideward external force to the first connecting portion 231 and/or the second connecting portion 241 of the handle 23. Since the handle 23 may be configured from metallic material and may be constructed not to be deformable, once the handle 23 is coupled to the lid body 21 in a manner described above, it is very hard for a user to detach the handle 23 from the lid body 21. This ensures secure connection between the handle 23 and the lid body 21.
It is worth mentioning that, as a slight alternative, the orientation of the first coupling unit 25 and the second coupling unit 26 may be reversed so that the first resilient coupler 252 may be partially received in the first securing slot 211 and the second resilient coupler 262 may be partially received in the second securing slot 212. Accordingly, the first tubular base member 251 and the second tubular base member 261 may be pushed to partially receive in the first securing slot 211 and the second securing slot 212 respectively. When the first securing slot 211 and the second securing slot 212 align with the first coupling slot 231 and the second coupling slot 241 respectively, the first tubular base member 251 and the second tubular base member 261 may be pushed into the first coupling slot 231 and the second coupling slot 241 respectively.
Referring to FIG. 8 of the drawings, an alternative mode of the beverage container according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The alternative mode is similar to the preferred embodiment as mentioned above, except the first resilient coupler 252′ and the second resilient coupler 262′. According to the alternative mode, each of the first resilient coupler 252′ and the second resilient coupler 262′ may be configured as a compression spring partially received in the first mounting cavity 2511 and the second mounting cavity 2611 for exerting a biasing force against the first tubular base member 251 and the second tubular base member 261 respectively.
The present invention, while illustrated and described in terms of a preferred embodiment and several alternatives, is not limited to the particular description contained in this specification. Additional alternative or equivalent components could also be used to practice the present invention.
