Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patent is that the seal prevents insects from entering the container from underneath the lid when it is closed.

Problems solved by technology

Hence, many people are unable to enjoy their beverages in a cup because flies, other insects, and debris may land inside the drinkware directly in the liquid contained therein.
This results in a contaminated beverage.
Moreover, the insects may land on the drinking rim of the drinkware, which results in a contaminated drinkware.
So, when a fly lands in your beverage or on the drinking area of the drinkware, the fly may transfer pathogens to the beverage and / or drinkware.
If these pathogens are consumed by a person, the individual may become seriously ill.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]The present disclosure relates to a hygienic drinkware and drink insulator device (“the device”). The device may operate as a hygienic and thermally insulating drinking device for beverages stored therein (i.e., hygienic drinkware) and the device may operate as a hygienic thermal insulator for a beverage container stored therein (i.e., hygienic drink insulator). The device includes a lid which allows an individual to use the device as drinkware without the risk of insects or debris landing in the beverage stored in the device or on the drinking rim of the device. Moreover, the lid allows an individual to use the device as a drink insulator without the risk of insects or debris landing in the stored beverage container (i.e., particularly when the beverage container has been opened) or on the drinking rim of the stored beverage container.

[0017]As illustrated in FIG. 1, the device 10 includes a receptacle member 12, a lid member 14, a thumb lever member 16, a hinge member 18, and...

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]Embodiments described herein generally relate to drinkware and drink insulators, and more particularly to hygienic drinkware and drink insulator devices.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Drinkware is a major component of beverage enjoyment throughout the world. Some drinkware, such as cups, do not include lids, and therefore are open to environmental elements. Hence, many people are unable to enjoy their beverages in a cup because flies, other insects, and debris may land inside the drinkware directly in the liquid contained therein. This results in a contaminated beverage. Moreover, the insects may land on the drinking rim of the drinkware, which results in a contaminated drinkware.[0003]Flies, in particular, may carry over two hundred diseases on their legs and body hairs. So, when a fly lands in your beverage or on the drinking area of the drinkware, the fly may transfer pathogens to the beverage and / or drinkware. If these pathogens are consumed by a pe...
