Benefits of technology

The patent is about a special glass that can rotate on its own axis. It has a bowl for holding liquid, and it is connected to a support. This connection allows the bowl to rotate, which causes the glass to wobble. The technical effect of this design is that it allows for a unique, unstable glass that is ideal for use in some applications.

Problems solved by technology

In particular, all the aforesaid devices involve a considerable degree of complexity: the use of rotary mechanisms comprising integrated electric motors which make the glasses described by the abovementioned patents difficult to manufacture.
In addition, even the simper solutions such as ordinary glasses or the glass described by the document GB-A-1421680 do not add special features to the devices other than to allow a user to drink from it.
Focusing again on the more complex solutions, another important drawback is the aesthetic one.
All the solutions presented have a structure which in itself is not very customisable, as well as being largely unmodifiable.
In conclusion, another significant drawback derives from the fact that the glasses equipped with additional functionality described in the patents cited are expensive.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]In the present document, the measures, values, shapes, and geometric references (such as perpendicularity and parallelism), when associated with words like “about” or other similar terms such as “almost” or “substantially”, are to be understood as excluding measurement errors or inaccuracies due to production and / or manufacturing defects and, especially, excluding a slight difference from the value of the measure, of the shape or of the geometric reference with which it is associated. For example, these terms, if associated with a value, preferably indicate a difference of not more than 10% of the value itself.

[0026]Furthermore, when used, terms such as “first”, “second”, “top”, “bottom”, “main” and “secondary” do not necessarily identify an order, a priority of relationship or relative position, but can simply be used to more clearly distinguish between their different components.

[0027]With reference to the Figures, the improved glass according to the invention is indicated o...

Abstract

Provided is a glass that includes a support, a bowl that is configured to contain a fluid and defining a central axis. The glass may also include a labile connector fastened to the support and to the bowl, the labile connector allowing the cup to rotate eccentrically with respect to the support.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a glass comprising a support having a defined axis, in normal supporting conditions, a vertical axis, a bowl suitable to contain a fluid and defining a central axis, a labile connector, fastened to the support and to the bowl, the labile connector allowing the bowl to rotate with respect to the support.DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]There are known glasses in the state of the art.[0003]They may be ordinary containers designed for containing and used for various beverages or they may be containers comprising mechanisms suitable to perform specific additional functions.[0004]For example, there are some commercially available types of glasses made from Aura Glass ™ in which the glass can rotate around a central hub.[0005]The patent applications CN-Y-201365774, EP-A-0562310, GB-A-1421680, U.S. Pat. No. 7,299,743, U.S. Pat. No. 8,430,023, U.S. Pat. No. 649,118, JP-U-5533780, and WO-A-2015 / 063319 should also be noted.[0006]Th...
