Insulating cover for ice cream cups

Abstract

Insulating cover for ice cream cups (10), characterized by a specific fit suitable for cylindrical or slightly conical cups (10) such as those typically used for ice cream products in retail, including but not limited to cups with a capacity of approximately 500 ml. The fit accommodates minor variations in size and shape to ensure universal applicability.

Description

Technical area

[0001] The invention relates to an insulating cover specifically tailored to the shape and size of cylindrical ice cream cups, such as those typically used for ice cream products in retail stores. "Cylindrical" also refers to approximately cylindrical, slightly conical shapes, such as those typically used for ice cream cups. The cover serves to provide thermal insulation to delay the melting of the ice cream product while simultaneously protecting the user's hand from the cold. State of the art

[0002] Insulating devices are known in the art for beverage containers such as cans or bottles to keep the contents cool. These devices are usually made of materials such as neoprene or foam. However, no known devices exist that have been specifically designed for cylindrical or slightly conical ice cream cups to accommodate their typical shape and size. In particular, there is a lack of solutions that offer reusability and universal applicability for cups of different brands. Object of the invention

[0003] The object of the invention is to provide an insulating cover that improves the thermal insulation of ice cream cups, is universally suitable for common sizes and shapes of cups and at the same time ensures easy handling. Solution to the task

[0004] The solution consists of an insulating cover made of a flexible material and designed to fit snugly onto cylindrical or slightly conical cups with typical retail dimensions, such as cups with a top rim width of approximately 8-12 cm and a height of approximately 9-13 cm. The cover is designed to significantly delay the melting of the ice cream product without compromising the feel or handling of the cup. Advantage of the invention

[0005] The insulating cover according to the invention offers the advantage of being universally applicable, delaying ice melting, and simultaneously comfortable to use. Its reusability and easy cleaning create an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for consumers. Description of the drawing
