Benefits of technology

The invention is a cup assembly with a removable cooler block. The cooler block contains material with high specific heat and / or thermal conductivity. It is placed in the cup and surrounded by room temperature liquid to instantly cool it. The cooler block is securely held in place by the cup's magnetic attraction force, even when the cup is used in an oblique way to drink the liquid. This design allows for easy cooling of the liquid without the need for a separate cooler or refrigerator.

Problems solved by technology

Anyhow, such a cup is relatively complicated and inconvenient.

Embodiment Construction

[0009]Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiment of the present invention

[0010]Referring to FIG. 1, a cup assembly 1 includes a cup 10 made with a non-metallic material, and a removable cooler block 50. The cup 10 is essentially a round columnar configuration with a base 12 and a circumferential wall 14 to commonly define a space 16. A handle 18 is formed on one position of an exterior face of the circumferential wall 14. A magnet 20 is embedded within the base 12. The cooler block 50 is of a cubic configuration with another magnet / a magnetic attraction material 52 enclosed by a non-metallic material layer 54 wherein the cooler block 50 wholly owns properties of high specific heat and high thermal conductivity.

[0011]Commonly, the cup 10 is kept in the room temperature while the cooler block 50 is frozen in the refrigerator. During use, the room temperature liquid is poured into the space 16 of the cup and cooler block 50 is also dropped into the space 16 and su...

Abstract

a cup assembly includes a cup and a removable cooler block. The cup includes a base and a circumferential wall to commonly define a space for containing the liquid wherein at least one of the cooler block and the base is equipped with a magnet and the other with either the magnetic attraction part or another magnet. The cooler block includes material of the high specific heat and / or of the high thermal conductivity.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a cup assembly, particularly to a cup associated with a removeable pre-cooled cooler block for cooling the drink of the room temperature easily and conveniently.[0003]2. The Related Art[0004]To have a cooled drink, it is common to refrigerate the liquid while it takes time. Another quick way is to mix the liquid with the ice cubes while it dilutes the liquid and loses a taste. U.S. Pat. No. 6,674,052 discloses the cup equipped with a thermal energy source and an associated control unit to quickly either heat or cool the liquid via the power. Anyhow, such a cup is relatively complicated and inconvenient.[0005]Hence, an easy and convenient way to promptly cool the liquid for drinking is desired.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0006]In order to achieve the aforementioned object, a cup assembly includes a cup and a removable cooler block. The cup includes a base and a circumferential wall to commonl...
