Benefits of technology

The patent text covers the various types of cups and lids used for hot beverages, and the logistic problem faced by hot beverage sellers when delivering all three components separately. The technical effect of the patent is to provide a solution that simplifies the process of delivering hot beverages to consumers, by integrating the lids, sleeves, and cups into a single package, reducing physical space requirements and inventory control work, and improving operational efficiency for the seller of hot beverages.

Problems solved by technology

Lids, paperboard sleeves, and cups present a logistic problem for the seller of hot beverages since, in general, they are delivered separately even if the same company manufactures all three products.
Despite that both documents provide a possible solution to avoid spillage, these do not take into account the heating of the cup due to the high temperature of hot beverages contained inside the cup.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]In view of the above, an invention was developed which attempts to provide the consumer a reliable container to carry hot beverages, where liquid spillage is prevented while the thermal insulation is maintained to provide more comfort. Additionally, the logistical problem originated by the current group of elements to reach the first objective is solved, since the invention described herein reduces the entire product to one element only, requiring only one storage type and inventory work associated with only one component.

[0022]The invention described in this descriptive report is comprised of a drink container, specifically a container whose particular characteristics allow it to partially prevent spillage of the liquid stored inside the container, when said container is subject to vibration while in transit.

[0023]The container includes a base (100), a continuous wall (200), a group of internal flaps (310, 320), and a group of external flaps (410, 420). In turn, the union of ...

Abstract

A solution for a logistical problem within the beverage industry, specifically related to hot beverages such as coffee and tea; namely, storing the means to sell the beverages, which generally includes a cup, a lid for the cup, and an insulation sleeve that allows holding the cup in a comfortable way for the consumer, avoiding burns due to the high temperatures of the liquid. Thus, the container presented here unifies the 3 elements, comprising a body formed by a base and a wall, where the upper edge of said container has a group of flaps that in their closed position enables liquid containment and prevents spillage in case the container is moved, and through a modification in the cross profile of the wall. Additionally, the container has an insulation sleeve that keeps the contact surface at a low temperature.

Description

PRIORITY CLAIM[0001]Priority is claimed of and to Mexican Patent Application Serial No. MX / a / 2017 / 008789, filed Jun. 30, 2017, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.DESCRIPTIONField of the Invention[0002]As mentioned in the title of this descriptive report, this invention refers to a liquid container. Specifically, it is a cup-shaped container that can hold liquids without spilling. The structure of the cup is comprised of a group of flaps that securely close just enough to prevent spilling while at the same time leaving an opening to allow pouring the stored liquid.Background of the Invention[0003]In the beverage sales industry, the disposable cup is one of the most used products to serve hot beverages to consumers since it allows delivering such products in a good-quality container that can be disposed when the beverage is finished. In this segment, many types of cups of varying materials have been designed in order to adapt to the needs of consumers as ...
