Description

GOBELE UETABLE A LANGUETTE UETABLE TAB CUP
Il existe aujourd'hui de nombreux types de gobelets jetables en toutes matières et de toutes formes, permettant de recevoir liquides chauds ou froidsThere are today many types of disposable cups in all materials and all shapes, to receive hot or cold liquids
Ces gobelets sont conçus pour être utilises de manière indépendante ou associes a la machine qui génère les produits qu'ils doivent contenirThese cups are designed to be used independently or combined with the machine that generates the products they must contain
Pour un usage libre et non lie a une machine distributrice de boisson. Us sont livres empiles l'un dans 1 autre de manière a prendre le moins de place possible Ils sont alors prélevés un par un par l'utilisateur qui les remplit de la boisson de son choixFor free use and not linked to a beverage dispensing machine. They are delivered stacked one in 1 another so as to take up the least space possible They are then taken one by one by the user who fills them with the drink of his choice
Ils sont très souvent associes a des machines de distribution de boissons dans lesquelles ils sont charges Sur commande de l'utilisateur de la machine, le gobelet tombe et il est rempli automatiquement de la boisson composée dans la machine elle- même ou stockée dans celle-ciThey are very often associated with beverage dispensing machines in which they are loaded. On the order of the user of the machine, the cup falls and it is automatically filled with the beverage made up in the machine itself or stored in it. this
Il existe également sur le marche des gobelets jetables appelés gobelets predoses, qui contiennent dans leur fond une poudre issue généralement de produits lyophilises destmee a être mélangée a de l'eau chaude ou froide pour permettre la composition d'une boissonThere are also disposable cups on the market called predosed cups, which contain in their bottom a powder generally resulting from lyophilized products intended to be mixed with hot or cold water to allow the composition of a drink
Différents systèmes permettent de maintenir ladite poudre au fond du gobelet avant utilisation Par exemple, la lorme du gobelet - lui-même est telle que les gobelets préalablement doses sont encliquetes l'un sur l'autre, le gobelet du dessus servant d'obturateur au gobelet du dessous II convient alors de tirer sur le gobelet du dessous pour le désolidariser du gobelet du dessus , le gobelet contenant la poudre est alors disponible pour recevoir de l'eau et composer une boissonDifferent systems make it possible to maintain said powder at the bottom of the cup before use. For example, the shape of the cup - itself is such that the cups previously dosed are snapped one on the other, the cup above serving as a shutter at the cup below It is then advisable to pull the cup below to separate it from the cup above, the cup containing the powder is then available to receive water and compose a drink
Un autre dispositif permet de maintenir la poudre dans le fond du gobelet II s'agit là d'un gobelet disposant d'un fond contenant la poudre et obture par une capsule aluminium soudée ou collée hermétiquement sur sa peπpheπe Cette capsule de fond de gobelet est prolongée d'une languette remontant jusqu'au bord du gobelet Il convient donc de tirer sur l'extrémité de la languette alumimum pour retirer la capsule aluininium qui obture le fond du gobelet Le gobelet est alors libre de recevoir de l'eau chaude ou dans un autre état pour la composition de la boisson Ce principe semble beaucoup plus apprécie sur le marche, car le gobelet est parfaitement indépendant, contrairement aux gobelets predoses encliquetes qui présentent de moms bonnes conditions d'hygiène et de conservationAnother device makes it possible to hold the powder in the bottom of the beaker. This is a beaker having a bottom containing the powder and closed by an aluminum capsule welded or glued hermetically on its peπpheπe. This beaker bottom capsule is extended by a tab going up to the edge of the cup It is therefore advisable to pull on the end of the alumimum tab to remove the aluininium capsule which closes the bottom of the cup The cup is then free to receive hot water or in another state for the composition of the drink This principle seems much more appreciated on the market, because the cup is perfectly independent, unlike the pre-fitted snap cups which have less good conditions of hygiene and conservation
Quels que soient les types de gobelets jetables, qu'ils soient commercialises vides ou predoses, ils ne sont en rien lies spécifiquement a une machine C est a dire que les machmes actuellement commercialisées peuvent faire usage de gobelets de marques différentes dans chaque principe existant En effet, les gobelets jetables vides standards ne sont nullement protèges industriellement et n'importe quelle société a le droit d'en fabπquer et d'en fournir Les prmcipes de gobelets jetables predoses existants ne font pas ou ne font plus l'objet d'une protection industrielle ce qui donne également le droit a plusieurs compagnies d en fabriquer et d en proposer sur le marcheWhatever the types of disposable cups, whether sold empty or predosed, they are in no way linked specifically to a machine. This means that the machines currently sold can use cups of different brands in each existing principle. Indeed, standard empty disposable cups are not industrially protected and any company has the right to manufacture and supply them. The principles of existing predosed disposable cups are not or are no longer subject to industrial protection which also gives the right to several companies to manufacture and offer them on the market
Pourtant, le gobelet jetable et particulièrement le gobelet jetable predose est LUI produit dit consommable, a usage unique donc a même d'être jeté après le premier usageHowever, the disposable cup and particularly the predose disposable cup is HIM a product called a consumable, for single use so it can even be thrown away after the first use
C e caractère de produit a usage unique lui donne un intérêt considérable dans le domaine de la consommation, intérêt souvent încommensurablement plus grand que celui des machmes chargées de le remplirThis character of a single-use product gives it a considerable interest in the field of consumption, interest often incommensurably greater than that of the machmes responsible for filling it
La présente invention a pour but d'apporter aux gobelets jetables actuellement accessibles sur le marche un artifice particulier qui permettra de lier techniquement 1 usage du gobelet a celui d'un type précis de machine conçu spécialement pour ce gobelet L'objectif de cette invention est de faire d'un gobelet le seul gobelet jetable utilisable avec un rvpe précis de machine spécialement conçue pour utiliser que ce type de gobeletThe object of the present invention is to provide disposable cups currently available on the market with a particular device which will allow a technical link between the use of the cup and that of a specific type of machine specially designed for this cup. The objective of this invention is to make a cup the only disposable cup usable with a precise machine type specially designed to use this type of cup
