Patented July 14, 1942 HANDLED SUPPORT FOR CUPS, GLASSES,
' AND OTHER CONTAINERS Harold Henry Robert Hanford, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Application June 21, 1941, Serial No. 399,116
1 Claim.
My invention relates to improvements in handled supports for such articles as cups, particularly paper cups, and containers, such as paper cartons and the like.
This is a divisional application based upon the pending United States application for Patent Serial Number 296,258, dated September 23, 1939.
The object of the invention is primarily to pro- Vide a support of extremely low cost which is capable of encircling a paper cup or other container, which support is provided integrally with handle portions to facilitate the carrying of the container.
The invention consists of a strip of material slotted intermediate its length to provide container encircling members and having portions adapted to extend above the container to serve as carrying handles, as will be more fully described in the following specification and shown in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a view of a blank from which the support is made and having side portions to be used as handles.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the invention as applied to a carton having tapered sides or a carton provided with an upper rim.
Fig. 3 is a view of a modified form of blank provided with terminal end portions to serve as handles.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a cup fitted with the modification.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a carton fitted with the modification.
In the drawing like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in each figure.
The numeral 1, see Figures 1 and 2, is a blank of the support preferably made of sheet material having a medial incision or slot 2 and a pair of side incisions 3 which define between the incisions 2 and 3 container encircling portions 4, and between the incisions 3 and the sides of the blank, handle portions 5. Diagonal creases 6 extend across the ends of the encircling portions 4 along which the support is adapted to be bent. Greases I are formed transversely across the side portions 5 at points remote from the encircling portions 4, upon which the handle portions are adapted to be bent. The creases 1 while shown as being remote from the ends of the encircling portions may be in any position to give whatever length of handle portion that may be desired. The end portions of the blank are numbered 8 and serve as connecting members between the handle portions 5 and the encircling portions 4.
In the modification, or the simpler form of the invention as shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5, the blank is indicated by the numeral l0, and is incised or slotted intermediate its length as at l l to provide encircling portions 12. Diagonal creases l3 indicated by dotted lines, extend from the ends of the slot I l to the marginal edges of the blank to facilitate folding. The end portions of the blank are indicated by the numeral 14 and are preferably wider than the intermediate portion to provi-de a pair of handles [5. The handles are preferably provided with openings I6 toenable the fingers to be inserted for carrying purposes.
Infitting the blank I to a container, the blank is bent and the handle portions 5 are raised in an arc until the blank folds along the crease lines I, then the encircling portions 4 are lifted intermediate their length and spread apart, causing the parts to fold at the creases 6. This latter movement disposes the encircling portions on their edges so that the container can be slipped in between them as shown. 7
The fitting of the blank Ill is done by spreading the encircling portions 12 in the manner above described and by raising the handles [5 to project above the rim of the container as shown in Figures 4 and 5.
If the device is to be fitted to a container which is neither provided with a projecting rim or tapered sides, tabs I! would be pressed out of its side walls which would be engaged by the upper edges of the encircling portions 12 and thus prevent displacement of the assembled parts.
What I claim as my invention is:
A handled support for containers such as paper cups and the like comprising an elongated strip of material having an elongated incision along a medial portion of its longitudinal axis to divide said strip into narrow side strips connected to terminal portions, said side strips being creased adjacent the ends of the incision to facilitate bending the strip material for the side strips to encircle the container and for the terminal portions to project upwardly at right angles to the side strips.
