Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a lid for a drinking beaker, wherein a chamber has been formed in the lid, wherein the chamber is filled with a food ingredient and wherein the chamber has an access opening closed off by a first closure that is removable in order to deposit the food ingredient from the chamber in the drinking beaker.
  • a lid is known as a component of a beaker/lid combination where the beaker contains yoghurt and where the chamber in the lid contains muesli. In this way it is possible to offer muesli together with yoghurt in a unit that is almost ready for use.
  • the lid is intended as a closure for the yoghurt beaker and at the same time as a supporting medium for the muesli. Beaker and lid together are offered to the consumer as a unit, after which the consumer removes the closure at the desired time of consumption, deposits the muesli in the yoghurt in the beaker, mixes the muesli with the yoghurt and then eats it.
  • the aim of the present invention is now, in particular, to offer hot drinks for catering purposes, in particular mobile catering purposes, which hot drinks are in a form that enables a serving person from the catering company to provide the consumer quickly and efficiently with a hot drink of constant taste, with a minimum of operations and also with a minimum of means to be taken with them - on a trolley or simply carried.
  • the abovementioned aim is achieved by providing a lid of the type mentioned in the preamble, which is characterised in that the food ingredient is an instant drink powder that is soluble in hot water, such as, in particular, an instant coffee, an instant tea, an instant cocoa or an instant soup.
  • a drink powder is understood in the broadest sense to be a drink in solid form that can be dissolved in hot water in order to make a drinkable drink.
  • a dry form is usually powder-like.
  • powder-like is imderstood to be both very fine and very coarse granules.
  • the serving person from the catering company, termed caterer below, or optionally the purchasing consumer merely has to remove the closure and then to deposit the instant drink powder in the drinking beaker.
  • t s drinking beaker can have already been filled with hot water before the drink powder is deposited therein, but the hot water will preferably be added after the drink powder has been deposited in the drinking beaker.
  • the food ingredient can optionally contain supplementary additions for the drink powder, such as powdered milk or sugar.
  • supplementary additions such as powdered milk or sugar.
  • such additions such as sugar and powdered milk, are not themselves a drink powder.
  • drink powder is understood to be in particular the cocoa ingredient of the instant hot chocolate.
  • the lid furthermore has a drinking opening and a breather hole such that, when the lid is closing off the beaker, a user is able to drink via the drinking opening whilst the interior of the beaker is kept at ambient pressure via the breather hole.
  • the drinking opening and/or the breather hole open into the chamber, hi order to prevent premature emptying of drink powder from the chamber, with this arrangement it is advantageous according to the invention if the drinking opening and/or the breather hole are closed off by the first closure. The drinking opening and or the breather hole are then exposed on removal of the first closure for the purpose of depositing the drink powder from the chamber in the drinking beaker. A separate operation is thus not required in order to expose the drinking opening and/or the breather hole.
  • the first closure comprises a film with pull tab, the film being stuck around the access opening by means of an adhesive join that can be broken by manually pulling on the tab.
  • the film is attached to the lid by means of an adhesive join around the access opening that is not breakable or is difficult to break and that, for removal of at least part of the film, the film is provided with local weakenings that enable the film to be torn away after pulling on the tab.
  • the closure can also be made in another way.
  • the lid has a clamping rim running in the peripheral direction for sealing by clamping on the top rim of the drinking beaker.
  • This clamping rim of the lid can be a clamping rim protruding into the interior of the beaker or can comprise a clamping rim section protruding into the interior of the beaker.
  • the clamping rim will be a clamping rim that engages all round the top rim of the beaker from the outside. Because in many cases the lid no longer has to be removable from the drinking beaker after it has been fitted on the beaker - for example if the lid contains a drinking opening - it will advantageously be possible to construct the clamping rim as a snap-fit rim. It is furthermore advantageous according to the invention if the top of the lid has a depression for accommodating the base of the drinking beaker.
  • This provides, in particular, the possibility of transporting a number of beakers stacked on top of one another in an easy and reliable manner, in particular of carrying them by hand or on a tray, h the case of a depression it is particularly advantageous according to the invention if the depression is delimited by a raised rim and if the drinking opening is provided in the top of the raised rim, such that the part of the raised rim that surrounds the drinking opening acts as a drinking spout. In this case the raised rim does not have to completely surround the depression. The point at issue is that there is a raised rim section in particular at the drinking opening.
  • the provision of a drinking spout makes it that much easier to drink from the beaker without spillage, whilst the lid is on the beaker.
  • the access opening of the chamber is on the underside of the lid. This prevents it being possible for the consumer to become soiled by residues of the instant drink powder that may still remain in the chamber after the contents of the chamber have been emptied into the drinking beaker and the lid has been placed on the drinking beaker.
  • the top of the lid has a depression for accommodating the base of the drinking beaker, if the depression is completely surrounded by a raised rim in order thus to form the chamber and if the drinking opening is provided in the top of the raised rim, such that the section of the raised rim surrounding the drinking opening acts as a drinking spout, and if the first closure closes off the chamber and the drinking opening.
  • the breather hole which can be relatively small, can be provided relatively easily in another position without communicating with the depression/chamber.
  • the present invention relates to a lid/beaker combination comprising a lid according to the invention and a drinking beaker, in particular an empty drinking beaker, wherein the lid has dimensions such that it fits on the top of the drinking beaker.
  • the present invention relates to a combination comprising a set of lids according to the invention, wherein said set of lids is subdivided into at least two subsets of lids, in particular more than two subsets of lids, wherein the one subset of lids always contains a different drink powder to the other subsets of lids. In this way it becomes possible for the caterer to offer several hot drinks by stocking lids filled with a different drink powder.
  • the various subsets of lids can always be organised according to type of drink.
  • a different drink powder composition is obtained by mixing sugar and/or powdered milk through the drink powder.
  • the caterer has available the following four subsets a) lids containing instant coffee without sugar and without powdered milk; b) lids containing instant coffee with sugar and without powdered milk; c) lids containing instant coffee without sugar and with powdered milk; and d) lids containing instant coffee with sugar and with powdered milk.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cross-sectional view (Fig. 1A) and a plan view (Fig.
  • Fig. 1 shows a lid 1 according to a first embodiment of the invention.
  • This lid 1 essentially consists of four components, i.e.: • a lid body 2 made of plastic, which can have been obtained by, for example, injection moulding or deep drawing;
  • the lid body 2 has been shaped such that it defines a chamber 8 with an access opening 9 facing downwards.
  • the access opening 9 is closed off by the closure 3.
  • the closure 3 consists of a removable film that is attached to the lid body 2 around a peripheral rim 10, that surrounds the entire chamber 9, in such a way that the closure film 3 can be removed by pulling on pull tab 4 by hand.
  • a drink powder that is soluble in hot water, such as, for example, an instant coffee, an instant tea, an instant cocoa or an instant soup, is contained in the chamber 8.
  • the lid 1 is furthermore provided with a drinking opening 13 that opens into the chamber 8.
  • This drinking opening 13 is closed off by means of a closure 5 in the form of, for example, a film with a pull tab 6 in order to prevent drink powder contained in the chamber 8 from losing flavour or escaping from the chamber 8 prematurely.
  • the closure 5 can be removed by hand by pulling on the tab 6.
  • the lid body 2 is furthermore provided with a breather hole 12. Although the breather hole 12 does not open into the chamber 8 and therefore does not have to be closed off, here this breather hole 12 is closed off by the closure 3. In order reliably to ensure that the breather hole 12 is opened when the closure film 3 is removed, the breather hole 12 is preferably provided at the base of the pull tab 4.
  • the lid body 2 is provided on the underside with a peripheral rim 15 for closure on the top rim of a drinking beaker.
  • this peripheral rim 15 is provided with a rib 14 extending inwards.
  • the lid body 2 is provided with a depression 11 at the top.

  • hot water is essentially understood to be any hot water suitable for the preparation of a hot drink. Such hot water will usually have a temperature of approximately 40 °C or higher.
  • the lid 1, from which the closure 3 has been removed can be fitted on top of the drinking beaker 20.
  • the peripheral rim 14 will then snap behind an external thickening rim 24 at the top 23 of the drinking beaker 20.
  • the lid 1 fitted on the drinking beaker 20 in this way it is possible, without spillage, to swirl the combination of drinking beaker 20 and lid 1 in order to bring the liquid contained in the drinking beaker 20 into motion and to make the drink powder dissolve further or better.
  • the closure 5 - if it has not already been removed - can be removed from the drinking opening 13 by pulling on the pull tab 6.
  • the raised rim 16 that surrounds the depression 11 will then provide a drinking spout that facilitates drinking.
  • the breather hole 12 will ensure that during drinking air is able to flow into the interior of the drinking beaker 20 and creation of a vacuum in this interior is thus prevented.
  • Figure 3 furthermore shows that the depression 11 can be used to accommodate the bottom 21 of a further drinking beaker 20. Filled drinking beakers can thus be stacked in a relatively stable arrangement, so that a relatively large number of filled drinking beakers can be transported more easily by hand or on a tray.
  • Figure 2 shows, by way of example, a further variant of the lid according to the invention. The same reference numerals as in Figure 1 have been used for the lid 30 from Fig.2 for components having a corresponding function. The lid according to Figure 2 consists of essentially three components. Compared with Figure 1, there is a closure missing. The main difference between the embodiments according to Fig. 2 and Fig.
