Benefits of technology
The present invention provides an improved container assembly with a non-slip base. The container can hold various liquids, and the puck creates a non-slip reaction to a surface. The non-slip base is securely attached to a cup, glassware, vessel, or general container for holding liquids. The container also has a bump or nodule that locks in a channel inside of a recess of a puck to securely hold a container and act as a stable base. These features and advantages make the container assembly more stable and secure, preventing leaks and spills while also allowing for easy handling and transportation.
Problems solved by technology
However, by placing a vessel on a surface, a slippery reaction may occur between the base of the container and the surface it was placed upon.
This slippery reaction can cause containers to fall off the surface they are placed upon or slide in an unwanted direction or manner.
Furthermore, the slippery reaction created underneath the base of an existing container can leave stains on the surface that the container is placed upon.
For example, a glass container on a wooden surface can leave a container-shaped stain due to the condensation from the container flowing to the base of the glass or from the base or surface being wet or damp.
Additionally, existing containers can lack stability due to the common design of tapering the base of the glass.
The lack of stability thus can cause the vessel to tip over and spill the contents of the container.

Embodiment Construction
[0027]Preferred embodiments of the present invention and their advantages may be understood by referring to FIGS. 1-3, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements. Although the invention is described in the context of a container or vessel, the present invention is applicable to any type of container to hold liquids or like device.
[0028]Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 1A in relevant part, a container assembly 100 includes a container 100 with a continuous sidewall 102 having an outer surface 102a, an inner surface 102b, an upper edge 102c, and a lower edge 102d, and a non-slip base 107 with a plurality of channels 108. A horizontal bottom 103 is affixed to the lower edge 102d. A horizontal bottom 103 cooperates with the inner surface 102b of the continuous sidewall 102 to hold a volume 106. An upper edge 102c encircles an opening 104 to hold the volume 106. The volume 106 is for receiving contents, a chosen liquid, placed therein through the opening 104. The plurality of cha...

The present invention provides an improved container assembly where a container or vessel with nodules is inserted into a non-slip base, such as a hockey puck, with a recess having channels to create a locking system of a container into a hockey puck made from vulcanized rubber to create a non-slip reaction when placed on a hard surface. Further, the container assembly acts as a coaster to prevent staining and the inherent weight and width of the non-slip base creates optimal stability to said container or vessel.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No 63 / 074,871, filed on Sep. 4, 2020, entitled “Puck Cups,” the entire invention of which is incorporated by reference herein.1. Field of Invention[0002]The present invention relates to containers, more specifically, containers for holding liquids.2. Description of Related Art[0003]A container or vessel specifically designed to hold liquids is commonly used to drink certain beverages. Existing containers made for drinking liquids or drinkware are vessels made from various fluid impervious materials. A hockey puck, or a flat ball, is a disk, usually made from vulcanized rubber, typically used in ice hockey, and known for its high friction rubber surface.[0004]Components of a typical standard container for holding liquids are: an outer wall; an inner wall; a base; wherein the walls and the base create a volume for the container to hold.[0005]Existing containers or vessels for dr...
