Abstract

The invention concerns a simple-design device for carrying a mug around the neck with its dispensing support. The invention is characterized in that it consists in using only one single cord for producing a mug-holder and in storing said mug-holders on a support which facilitates the placement of the mug-holder on the mug. The mug-holder consists of a cord (1) whereof the ends (13) are mutually assembled. Each end (2) of the cord is fixed while overlapping the other end. The space thus formed between the overlap is designed for placing the mug. The dispensing support (5) consists of a vertical tube with a support at its base for vertical support. The mug-holders (10) are stacked on the outside of a tube for storage. The mug-holder is fixed on a mug, by simply placing the mug (12) on the top of the tube and pulling (11) upwards to cause the cord to slide up to the mug. The inventive device is particularly designed for fast food service.

Description

DISPOSITIF DE PORTE GOBELET AUTOUR DU COU DE CONCEPTION SIMPLE AVEC SON SUPPORT DE DISTRIBUTION La présente invention concerne une conception simple de porte gobelet placé autour du cou et de son support de distribution. L'invention est principalement destinée à la restauration rapide en raison des cadences du service rapide et de l'utilisation de produits jetables de qualité et économique. En effet sur le marché, il existe déjà quelques portes gobelets à boissons disposés autour du cou et qui libèrent les mains. Cependant ces dispositifs utilisent plusieurs éléments pour leur conception tel que un cordon ou une bandelette passé autour du cou, un système de maintien du gobelet sous forme rigide ou élastique ou adhésive ou en forme de ceinture et une liaison pour relier les éléments entre eux. De plus aucun système pratique n'existe permettant à la fois de stocker une certaine quantité de porte gobelet et d'insérer rapidement et facilement un gobelet dans un porte gobelet. Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Le porte gobelet est composé d'une seule et unique bandelette souple d'environ un mètre de longueur pour les adultes. La longueur est déterminée en fonction de la taille de la personne (enfant ou adulte) Chaque bout de la bandelette vient chevaucher l'autre bout. La longueur du chevauchement est déterminée par la moitié de la circonférence du gobelet à porter. Les extrémités des deux bouts se chevauchant sont fixées sur l'autre partie de la bandelette. On positionne le gobelet dans l'espace ainsi formé par le chevauchement de la bandelette et dans l'autre partie fermée de la bandelette, on passe le cou de la personne. Le dessin en figure 1 annexé illustre l'invention et représente le chevauchement de la bandelette et les positions des fixations pour former l'emplacement du gobelet. En référence à cette figure, le dispositif comporte une bandelette (1 ) dont les deux bouts (2) se chevauchent et sont fixés (4) à leurs extrémités sur l'autre partie de la bandelette. La forme conique du gobelet permet son maintien dans l'espace (3) formé entre les deux fixations (4). L'autre partie fermée (5) de la bandelette (1) est passée autour du cou de la personne. Selon les modes de réalisations, la bandelette (1) peut aussi bien être un ruban ou une ficelle. De plus les fixations (4) des bouts (2) sont faites par soudage ou thermocollage ou collage (le type de fixation est non limitatif). La subtilité de l'invention réside donc dans l'utilisation d'une seule bandelette pour toute la réalisation. Le support de distribution du porte gobelet est composé d'un tube vertical de 30 centimètres de hauteur (la hauteur du tube dépend du nombre de porte gobelet que l'on veut disposer sur le support). La base du tube est placée sur un socle pour la tenue verticale et la stabilité du tube. Sur l'extérieur du tube, les portes gobelets sont empilés et le tube passe dans l'espace (3) destiné à recevoir le gobelet. La circonférence extérieure du tube est légèrement inférieure à la circonférence de l'espace du porte gobelet destiné à recevoir le gobelet. La circonférence intérieure du tube correspond environ à la circonférence de la mi-hauteur du gobelet. Les différentes circonférences sont à adapter à la taille du gobelet. Pour mettre le porte gobelet autour du gobelet à partir du support, on vient poser le gobelet sur le tube du support. La forme conique du gobelet permet son maintien à mi-hauteur dans le tube.The present invention relates to a simple design of a cup holder placed around the neck and of its dispensing support. The invention is mainly intended for fast food due to the rates of fast service and the use of quality and economical disposable products. Indeed on the market, there are already a few drink cup holders arranged around the neck and which free the hands. However, these devices use several elements for their design such as a cord or strip passed around the neck, a system for holding the cup in rigid or elastic or adhesive form or in the form of a belt and a connection for connecting the elements together. In addition, no practical system exists which makes it possible both to store a certain quantity of cup holder and to quickly and easily insert a cup in a cup holder. The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. The cup holder is made up of a single flexible strip about one meter long for adults. The length is determined according to the size of the person (child or adult). Each end of the strip overlaps the other end. The length of the overlap is determined by half the circumference of the cup to be worn. The ends of the two overlapping ends are attached to the other part of the strip. The cup is positioned in the space thus formed by the overlap of the strip and in the other closed part of the strip, the neck of the person is passed. The drawing in Figure 1 attached illustrates the invention and shows the overlap of the strip and the positions of the fasteners to form the location of the cup. With reference to this figure, the device comprises a strip (1) whose two ends (2) overlap and are fixed (4) at their ends to the other part of the strip. The conical shape of the cup allows it to be kept in the space (3) formed between the two fasteners (4). The other closed part (5) of the strip (1) is passed around the person's neck. According to the embodiments, the strip (1) may as well be a ribbon or a string. In addition, the attachments (4) of the ends (2) are made by welding or heat-bonding or gluing (the type of attachment is not limiting). The subtlety of the invention therefore lies in the use of a single strip for the entire production. The cup holder distribution support is made up of a vertical tube 30 cm high (the height of the tube depends on the number of cup holders that you want to have on the support). The base of the tube is placed on a base for the vertical hold and the stability of the tube. On the outside of the tube, the cup holders are stacked and the tube passes into the space (3) intended to receive the cup. The outer circumference of the tube is slightly less than the circumference of the space of the cup holder intended to receive the cup. The inner circumference of the tube corresponds approximately to the circumference of the mid-height of the cup. The different circumferences must be adapted to the size of the cup. To put the cup holder around the cup from the support, the cup is placed on the support tube. The conical shape of the cup allows it to be held halfway up in the tube.
Puis on tire vers le haut sur la première bandelette disposée sur le support à partir de l'emplacement destiné à passer le cou de la personne. La bandelette glisse le long du tube et vient se positionner sur le cône du gobelet. Le dessin de la figure 2 illustre le support de distribution pour le porte gobelet. Le tube (9) est placé verticalement, le haut du tube est destiné à recevoir le gobelet dans l'espace (6). Le bord (8) en haut du tube peut être chanfreiné afin de correspondre à l'angle du cône du gobelet. La partie basse du tube possède un socle (7) pour la stabilité du tube. Le socle peut être de forme conique ou de toutes autres formes. Le support de distribution est en matière plastique réalisé par moulage mais peut tout à fait être fabriqué dans une autre matière avec une autre technique de fabrication. Le dessin de la figure 3 illustre l'ensemble de l'invention. Le support de distribution (5) reçoit sur l'extérieur du tube les portes gobelets à stocker (10) en attente de leur utilisation. Le support de distribution passe à travers l'espace (3) du porte gobelet. Pour mettre un gobelet sur un porte gobelet (1 ) on positionne un gobelet (12) sur le support de distribution (5). Le gobelet s'enfonce dans le tube d'environ sa mi-hauteur (une butée sous le gobelet non représentée sur le dessin peut être installée pour limiter l'enfoncement du gobelet) puis on fait glisser le porte gobelet le long du support de distribution en exerçant une force (1 1 ) vers le haut. Le porte gobelet (1 ) vient se bloquer sur le cône du gobelet (12) et l'extrait du support de distribution (5). Il suffit alors de passer le porte gobelet autour du cou d'une personne. Then pull up on the first strip placed on the support from the location intended to pass the person's neck. The strip slides along the tube and is positioned on the cone of the cup. The drawing in Figure 2 illustrates the dispensing support for the cup holder. The tube (9) is placed vertically, the top of the tube is intended to receive the cup in the space (6). The edge (8) at the top of the tube can be chamfered to match the angle of the cup cone. The lower part of the tube has a base (7) for the stability of the tube. The base can be conical or any other shape. The distribution support is made of plastic material by molding but can completely be made of another material with another manufacturing technique. The drawing of Figure 3 illustrates the whole of the invention. The distribution support (5) receives on the outside of the tube the cup holders to be stored (10) awaiting their use. The dispensing support passes through the space (3) of the cup holder. To put a cup on a cup holder (1), place a cup (12) on the dispensing support (5). The cup sinks into the tube about halfway up (a stopper under the cup not shown in the drawing can be installed to limit the sinking of the cup) then the cup holder is slid along the dispensing support by exerting an upward force (1 1). The cup holder (1) locks onto the cup cone (12) and extracts it from the dispensing support (5). Then simply pass the cup holder around a person's neck.
