Drinking utensils with compensators

Abstract

A drinking utensil (1), comprising a drinking container (10), the drinking container (10) comprising a main body (20) for compensating for changes in the liquid level (S) in the drinking container (10). The drinking utensil is characterized in that the compensating body (20) contains an elastic member (21), which expands its shape under the action of the gravity (F) of the liquid volume, that is, the volume of the compensating body (20) becomes larger, and under the gravity (F) ) after the disappearance of the effect, the compensation body (20) is restored to a smaller original shape. The advantage is that there is no need for any design of the compensating body (20) that has a sliding sealing effect on the inner wall (12) of the drinking container (10). That is to say, the user does not need to put down the drinking container (10) first, so that the liquid level (S) can be stabilized.

Description

technical field [0001] The current invention relates to a drinking utensil [1] for containing a liquid suitable for drinking, especially a vessel such as a glass, teacup or beaker, which consists of a drinking container [10] and a balanceable An object [20] with a change in liquid level (S) in a drinking container [10]. Background technique [0002] Many patients have limited head-down angles and are unable to drink from typical drinking utensils such as teacups, beakers, or glasses [1] from a certain amount of fluid onwards. If the patient tilts the head back and stretches as far as possible, the risk of choking is greatly increased due to the open airway. In an emergency, people will take advantage of this and stretch the head as far as possible to open the airway for first aid. [0003] But in other everyday scenarios, there is a high risk of liquid intrusion (i.e., inhalation) of the airway when the head is overstretched, such as when drinking from a cup with a mouth. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, the compensating body [20] of the sliding seal is sometimes difficult or impossible to remove, causing problems when cleaning is required and can lead to hygienic problems

Furthermore, there is a disadvantage that the compressible compensating body [20] in the drinking vessel [10] leads to a dead volume when filling the drinking utensil [1] with liquid, which makes it difficult to correctly record the amount of liquid taken , especially in users of advanced age and / or multiple medical conditions
