Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a disposable beverage container holder that can be easily and safely used to hold beverages without spilling. The holder has a simple design and is strong, both economically and environmentally. It uses a folded synthetic resin film as the handle, which ensures high strength without any joints. The upper edge of the beverage container receiving portion is angled to disperse stress and prevent tearing. The holder can be separated from the holder base for easy use and is conveniently hung on a place for easy access. This efficient and workable beverage container holder product can be provided when needed.

Problems solved by technology

Moreover, the user may get burned if he / she moves while holding a hot beverage in a cup with his / her hand.
However, when using a plastic bag, a paper bag, etc. to carry a beverage in a cup, it takes a lot of time and labor to place the beverage in a cup in the plastic bag, the paper bag, etc., reducing workability at shops.
If the bag is shaken or is subjected to any impact while the user is carrying the beverage, the cup may fall over or lean in the bag and the beverage may spill in the bag, or the lid may get loose and the beverage may spill out of the cup.
Moreover, when using a plastic bag, a paper bag, etc., a lot of beverage can spill out of the cup without user's awareness because the user doesn't know what the inside of the bag is like until he / she opens it.
The use of a plastic bag, a paper bag, etc. is therefore not a great way both economically and environmentally.

first example

Manufacturing of Beverage Container Holder in the Form Before Use (Separation Means: Perforations)

[0096]A method for manufacturing the beverage container holder in the form before use shown in FIG. 5 will be described with reference to the process diagram of FIG. 9.

[0097]A cylindrical film 13 made of high density polyethylene and having a thickness of 30 μm (FIG. 9(a)) was heat-welded and cut along melt cut lines 19, 20 to form a basic holder pattern portion 21. Perforations 22 (6 mm-long cut portions and 1.5 mm-long non-cut portions) were formed in the basic holder pattern portion 21 with a perforation cutter, and holes 23 were formed (see FIGS. 9(b) and 9(c)).

[0098]Subsequently, the basic holder pattern 21 was cut along cut lines 24 to remove removal portions 25. Beverage container holders 6 in the form before use were thus manufactured.

[0099]As shown in, e.g., FIG. 10, the beverage container holder 6 in the form before use thus obtained had the following size.

[0100]The length 1a ...

second example

Beverage Container Holder Product (Separation Means: Perforations)

[0106]A method for manufacturing a beverage container holder product (separation means: perforations) will be described with reference to FIG. 11.

[0107]200 of the beverage container holders 6 in the form before use manufactured in the first example were stacked to form a holder bundle. In this example, a retaining member 26 was formed by a holder cover 27, a hanger 28, and fasteners 29.

[0108]A plate of high-density polyethylene having a thickness of 1 mm was used as the holder cover 27 for the beverage container holder product 10. The holder cover 27 was formed to have a front surface 27a covering 90% or more of the beverage container receiving portion 3 of the beverage container holder 1 and having holes 27d, 27e (hole diameter: 5 mm, located 7.5 mm away from the upper end, and distance between the holes: 9 cm) at positions corresponding to the holes 9 of the holder, a spine portion 27b formed continuously with the f...

third example

Disposable Beverage Container Holder

[0113]One of the holders bundled in the beverage container holder product (separation means: perforations) manufactured in the second example was separated along the perforations by pulling to obtain a disposable beverage container holder.

[0114]In the disposable beverage container holder thus obtained, a beverage container, which was a coffee cup with a lid, was able to be easily placed and held in the cylindrical beverage container receiving portion of the holder. The disposable beverage container holder holding the beverage container was convenient to hold with a hand or to hang over the hand, and no coffee spilled from the cup. The handle portion and the beverage container receiving portion had enough strength.
