Description

Title of the invention: Support for transporting a glass technical field

[0001] The proposed technical solution relates to the movement of glasses. More specifically, it aims at an individual device allowing a glass to be transported without having to hold it in the hand. STATE OF THE ART

[0002] From a technical standpoint, a prior solution is described in British patent GB2539370 (A), which presents an elongated holder for beer or wine glasses, which may include a loop for a hand grip. This loop is attached to a central support from which several flexible, elongated arms extend. These arms may be made of rope, cable, or cord, and each may terminate in a pair of clips, sometimes called "alligator clips" or "crocodile clips." The clips, equipped with springs and teeth, attach to the rim or side of a glass or goblet. This system allows the user, in particular, to transport several glasses simultaneously, for example, between a bar counter and a seating area.

[0003] The drawback of this known solution lies in the low reliability of the glass retention: the glass, particularly when filled, can slip uncontrollably from the clamps under its own weight. Furthermore, excessive pressure exerted by the clamps on the fragile glass wall can cause deformation, cracking, or even breakage, thus rendering the glass unusable.

[0004] It is therefore necessary to design a transport support for glasses that ensures reliable support of the container while preserving its integrity during contact. SUMMARY

[0005] The technical task posed is solved in that the support for transporting the glass, comprising a loop intended to be held by hand and at least one elongated flexible arm, is characterized by the following elements: • the loop is formed, in the upper part of the device, by the folding of at least one elongated flexible arm and at least one of the ends of said elongated flexible arm is formed a loop whose diameter is greater than that of the base of the glass; • the device includes a transverse flexible arm, arranged above and below said loop, this transverse arm forming a ring whose diameter is less than the maximum diameter of the glass chalice and greater than its minimum diameter.

[0006] According to one embodiment, the present invention relates to a support for transporting a glass, comprising a loop configured to be held in the hand and at least one elongated and flexible arm, characterized in that: a. the loop is formed in the upper part of the support by folding said at least one elongated and flexible arm; b. the support includes a transverse ring at one end of said extended arm, the transverse ring having a diameter greater than that of a base of the glass; c. the support further includes a flexible transverse arm, formed above the transverse ring and below the loop, the transverse arm forming a ring whose diameter is less than the maximum diameter of a glass chalice and greater than the minimum diameter of the glass chalice.

[0007] Technical result obtained

[0008] Thanks to the fact that the loop is formed in the upper part of the support by folding at least one elongated flexible arm, the device can be worn over the shoulder, around the user's neck, or held in the hand. This considerably expands the possibilities for use and improves carrying comfort.

[0009] Thanks to the fact that at least one loop is formed at the end of one of the elongated and flexible arms, the diameter of which is greater than that of the base of the glass, the chalice is held firmly in its part and immobilized against involuntary movements during transport.

[0010] Furthermore, the support includes a flexible transverse arm positioned above and below the main loop. This arm, together with the overall structure of the device, forms a ring designed to hold the glass cup.

[0011] Finally, because the transverse arm forms a ring whose diameter is less than the maximum diameter of the glass's calyx and greater than its minimum diameter, it is possible to ensure that the glass is kept in a stable and vertical position during transport. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0012] The proposed technical solution is illustrated by means of the accompanying drawings, which are purely informative and are not intended to limit subsequent improvements or modifications of the described device. On the contrary, the example illustrated in the drawings aims to clarify the essence of the claimed object.

[0013] [Fig.1] Fig.1 represents a preferred embodiment of the claimed support.

[0014] [Fig.2] Fig.2 shows an example of practical use of the claimed support with a glass.

[0015] The references used in the drawings are as follows: 1. -loop 2. - arm extended 3. - ring 4. - transverse arm DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The support intended for transporting a glass actually constitutes a fastening device allowing the glass to be carried comfortably around the neck, on the shoulder or in the hand.

[0017] The elongated and transverse arms are primarily made from ribbon, textile strip, cord, or, in some cases, rubber—particularly for forming the transverse ring. The surface of the support may be printed, embroidered, or bear other distinctive visual markings.

[0018] The extended arm forms a loop by folding approximately in its middle. This loop allows the support to be hung on the shoulder, around the neck or held in the hand, without direct contact with the glass.

[0019] At at least one end of the extended arm, a ring is formed by a 180° fold, then attached by sewing at a certain distance from the edge of the ribbon or strip constituting the arm. This seam defines an opening whose diameter is larger than that of the base of the glass. The base of the glass is the element on which it rests. It can also be referred to as the plinth or basin.

[0020] Approximately above the point where the ring is sewn, a transverse arm is formed. It is imperative that the transverse arm be formed above the loop and below the ring, connecting the extended arm at two points, as shown in [Fig. 1].

[0021] By forming the transverse arm, a ring is formed, intended to receive the bowl of the glass. The bowl of a glass is the container of the glass. It can also be called a cup, goblet, or flask. It is located above the stem of the glass. The stem of the glass comprises the shank (also called the leg) and the base.

[0022] Preferably, the cross arm is made of the same material as the extended arm. However, it may be made of printable rubber. The diameter of this ring is smaller than the maximum diameter of the glass chalice and larger than its minimum diameter. The material of the cross arm is essentially the same as that of the extended arm. Generally, the device is sewn from a strip at least 10 mm wide. The length of the strip is chosen individually according to the customer's requirements. Accessory elements can be added, such as a length regulator, rings, half-rings, carabiners, etc. The components the device is sewn individually, taking into account the specific shape of the glass to be transported.

[0023] It will be obvious to a specialist in the field that the proposed technical solution can be equipped with means for adjusting the length, particularly at the level of the extended arm, in order to adapt the device to the anatomical characteristics of the user and to improve the comfort of use.

[0024] The specialist will also understand that the device may include closing elements, allowing partial or total disconnection of the support, particularly in situations where the glass must be removed for refilling. Plastic or metal accessories may be used for this purpose, both to adjust the length and to allow disconnection of the support.

[0025] The operation of the device can be illustrated by the following example:

[0026] The glass bowl is introduced through the ring formed by the transverse arm. The glass is inserted base first into the opening of the device and moved in the opposite direction to the loop. Before the bowl of the glass makes full contact with the transverse arm, the base of the glass passes through the ring, and the glass continues to slide within the opening. The movement of the glass stops when the outer diameter of its bowl becomes equal to the inner diameter of the ring, thus preventing any further insertion. In this position, the stem of the glass is held by the ring, resting against the lower part of the bowl.

[0027] The holder is designed to allow the user to personally carry a glass at various events. The device attaches securely around the neck or over the shoulder, providing maximum comfort. In addition, the band can feature a logo or distinctive design, allowing for use for advertising or promotional purposes.

[0028] Based on the above description, a specialist in the field will understand the essence of the claimed object, the technical problem solved by the proposed device, and the technical advantages resulting from its implementation.
