[0032] The decorative elements include: a first decorative element 3 and a second decorative element 30, wherein either the first decorative element 3 or the second decorative element 30 may be selected. The first decorative element 3 and the second decorative element 30 are glasses with different shapes, and the glasses can be moved relative to the ear loops to cover the eyes.
[0033] The decorative parts include flexible decorative parts made of flexible materials such as silicone, with mounting holes at both ends. The ear clips 41 pass through the mounting holes to assemble the decorative parts onto the flip cover 21.
[0034] The cup lid 2 also includes a main body lid 22 and an inner lid 23 that are fastened together, and the rear end of the flip lid 21 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the main body lid 22;
[0035] The inner side of button 24 is mounted on the main body cover 22 by spring 25, and the upper latching protrusion 21a on the side of button 24 is engaged with the lower latching protrusion on the inner side of the front end of flip cover 21.
[0036] A locking key 26 is slidably mounted on the outer periphery of the inner cover 23. In the sliding state, the protrusion 26a at one end of the locking key 26 contacts or disengages from the protrusion on the inner side of the button 24, and the protrusion 26b at the other end of the locking key 26 passes through a limiting groove horizontally arranged around the outer periphery on the main cover 22. By moving the protrusion 26b, the protrusion 26a at one end of the locking key 26 moves towards the button and presses against the protrusion on the inner side of the button 24, which is the locked state, and the button cannot be pressed inward; when rotated away from the button, it disengages and is in the unlocked state, and the button can be pressed inward.
[0037] Two springs 28 are provided inside the button 24. The double springs can greatly maintain the pressing balance, and the button can be opened by pressing any point, which greatly facilitates the use of the user.
[0038] The inner cover 23 is provided with a sealing ring 29. The torsion spring is placed in the hole of the pivot part at the rear end of the main cover 22. The flip cover 21 is aligned with the pivot hole of the main cover 22. The pin 27 passes through the hole at the rear end of the flip cover, the torsion spring 25, and the hole of the pivot part at the rear end of the main cover to realize the rotational connection between the flip cover 21 and the main cover 22. The flip cover can rotate relative to the main cover to open or close around the pin.
[0039] It also includes a handle retainer 7, which is installed at the mouth of the cup body 1, and the cup lid 2 is specifically a main body lid 22 that is threadedly connected to the handle retainer 7.
[0040] The rear end of the flip cover 21 is provided with a second protrusion 6.
[0041] It also includes a shoulder strap assembly 5, the two sides of which are movably connected to the handles 7a at both ends of the handle loop 7. The shoulder strap assembly includes a shoulder strap and connecting loops at both ends. After the handles pass through the connecting loops, the shoulder strap can be carried on the back for use.
[0042] The cup body 1 includes a cup body 11 and a base 12. The bottom of the cup body 11 is snapped into the base 12. A third protrusion 8 is provided on the rear side of the base. A retaining rib is provided on the inner opening of the base 12, and a retaining rib is also provided on the bottom of the cup body. The retaining ribs of the base and the retaining ribs of the bottom of the cup body abut and engage to form an interlock, thereby securing the base to the bottom of the cup body. The base 12 can be made of plastic or other materials, which have a certain degree of elasticity and shock absorption, greatly protecting the cup body from damage, vacuum failure, or breakage if dropped on the ground. Installation is also very convenient, greatly improving the safety of using the thermos.
[0043] This embodiment features a first protrusion 4 on the front of the lid 2 corresponding to facial features, a second protrusion 6 on the back corresponding to animal horns or fur, and a third protrusion 8 on the back of the base 12 corresponding to a tail, creating a more three-dimensional, vivid, and fun cartoon animal image, such as a dinosaur. Users can freely choose any decorative piece, such as the first decorative piece 3 or the second decorative piece 30, to install on the lid, resulting in cups with different shapes and greater flexibility in use.
[0044] In this embodiment of the thermos cup, firstly, the inner lid 23 is fastened together with the main body lid 22. Then, the spring 28 is snapped onto the protrusion on the inner surface of the button 24. Next, the button 28 is assembled onto the notch at the front end of the main body lid 22 and installed in place. Then, the torsion spring 25 is inserted into the hole at the pivot part of the main body lid 22. The flip cover 21 is aligned with the pivot hole of the main body lid in sequence. Then, the pin 27 is aligned into the hole of the flip cover. The pin is passed through the hole of the flip cover, the hole at the pivot part of the main body lid 22, and the torsion spring 25 and assembled in place. Then, the straw 210 is installed onto the mouthpiece hole at the lower end of the inner lid 23 and assembled in place. Then, decorative parts such as glasses are assembled onto the flip cover 21 along the ear loops 41 on both sides of the flip cover 21. Then, the base 12 is pressed tightly against the bottom of the cup body 11 and assembled in place. Finally, the entire cup lid 2 is assembled onto the handle ring 7 at the upper end of the cup body 1 by means of threaded connection or other methods.
[0045] By directly creating molds during the production of the flip cover and base, the first and second (or third) protrusions are integrally formed with the flip cover (or base) during the production process. Compared to the traditional method of printing patterns on the surface after product mold production, this effectively reduces subsequent processes and avoids the problem of cartoon patterns being scratched, affecting the product surface and the user experience. Moreover, the cartoon effect is more three-dimensional and more fun to use.
[0046] In this embodiment, the flexible parts on both sides of the glasses in both shapes are designed with soft rubber. The soft rubber parts fit snugly around the ear loops on both sides of the flip cover, allowing for easy disassembly and interchangeability. Because the glasses and the flip cover ear loops rotate concentrically, the glasses can freely rotate or stay around the ear loops. The entire thermos cup forms a cute design through the first, second, and third protrusions, and the glasses can be freely rotated. At the same time, the glasses and the flip cover are elastic and can be disassembled and replaced, which is convenient for disassembly and cleaning, and also eliminates the boredom of drinking water alone, greatly stimulating children's enjoyment of drinking water.
