Structure of crystal-bead-contained glass

Abstract

A crystal-bead-contained glass has a circumferential wall in which a hermetical hollow chamber is formed. The glass forms a filling opening in communication with the hollow chamber for receiving crystal beads and water that are mixed according to a given ratio into the hollow chamber. The crystal beads, after mixed with water, expand and fill up the hollow chamber to form a sparkling visual effect. The crystal beads are mixed with water in a ratio of 7 gram of crystal beads added with 240 cc water, which provides the best resiliency and toughness. The crystal beads can be made with various colors to provide a colorful vision after mixed with water to attract the attention of consumers. The glass can be deposited in a freezer chamber to freeze the crystal beads so as to extend the time period of cold-keeping in using the glass to enjoy beverages.

Description

(a) TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention generally relates to a structure of crystal-bead-contained glass, which comprises a circumferential wall forming therein a hollow chamber into which a mixture of crystal beads and water in a given ratio is filled to provide a sparkling glass structure.(b) DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]A conventional container, such as glass, is decorated by adding patterns and textures on an outside surface thereof to make the container distinctive for attracting consumers. Containers with a function of cold keeping are also available in the market, of which an example is shown in FIG. 1 of the attached drawings, wherein a glass 1 has a circumferential wall 10 in which a hollow chamber 100 is formed. The glass forms a filling hole 101 in communication with the hollow chamber 100. Water is filled through the filling hole into the hollow chamber 100 and then the filling hole 101 is closed by fitting therein a plug 11, or alternatively...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a special glass structure that contains crystal beads and water in a hollow chamber. When the glass is frozen, the crystal beads produce a sparkling effect on the surface of the glass. The expanded crystal beads absorb water and slow down heat transfer, which extends the time for the beverage inside the glass to stay cold. The invention has various advantages, such as providing a colorful visual effect and using a similar composition to paper diapers.

Problems solved by technology

However, it takes quite a long time for freezing the water inside the hollow chamber 100 into ice and due to high rate of heat absorption of water, when beverage is poured into the glass, the ice inside the hollow chamber 100 may quick melt, losing the effect of cold keeping and turning the cold-keeping glass into a regular glass.

(1) When the magic ball is mixed with water in an improper ratio, the magic ball will absorb an excessive amount of water, making the magic ball over-expanding and thus breaking, eventually leading to a reduced effect of freezing.

(2) Over absorption of water not only leads to over expansion and breaking of the magic balls, but also makes the color of magic ball fading and colorless, affecting the visual effect of the container and reducing the intention of using the container.
