Effect of the Invention
[0007] The beverage glass system and beverage glass of the present invention are configured such that when a rectangular image display device having long and short sides, such as a smartphone, mobile phone, or tablet terminal, is set in the beverage glass, the left and right ends of the rectangular image display device are forced to protrude (or stick out) from the sides of the beverage glass, so that the user can press and operate the buttons or touch panel buttons (i.e., the image display surface) on the left and right sides of the rectangular image display device with one or both hands. As a result, by using the beverage glass system of the present invention, a smartphone or mobile phone can be set in the beverage glass and computer software displayed on the image display unit (or image display surface) can be operated with either one or both hands. The beverage glass system and beverage glass of the present invention are configured so that the left and right ends of a rectangular image display device, such as a smartphone or mobile phone, are forcibly protrude from the sides of the beverage glass, and the rectangular plate-shaped image display device can be slid horizontally with one or both hands, allowing the user to change the position and area of the image or video projected into the beverage glass by sliding horizontally with the user's left and right fingers or hands. The beverage glass system of the present invention can extract only a part of the image of the rectangular plate-shaped image display device, enlarge it by using the lens effect of the beverage in the beverage lens, and project it. Also, the user can change the position of the image to be enlarged by the beverage lens by sliding the image display device horizontally with his / her hand. The beverage glass system and beverage glass of the present invention are configured so that the image display device is placed on a base that is at least 4.0 cm high in order to ensure space for the ring finger and little finger to fit between the table on which the beverage glass is placed and the bottom end of the image display device set in the beverage glass, and the diameter of the beverage glass is shorter than the length of the long side of the image display device (i.e. the side horizontal in the longitudinal direction).This allows the user to place the system on a table and insert their ring finger and little finger between the bottom end of the image display device and the table when using it, making it easier to grip the left and right ends of the image display device while also making it easier to operate and press the buttons on the image display device with their thumbs. The beverage glass system and beverage glass of the present invention are configured to have the image display device mounted on a base that is 4.0 cm or higher in height, so that the bottom edge of the image transmitted through the beverage glass (more precisely, the bottom edge of the image display surface) can be set 4.0 cm or higher above the bottom of the glass. This means that the user does not need to lift the glass when viewing the image. The beverage glass system and beverage glass of the present invention can color the image on the image display device with the beverage (e.g., amber whiskey can color or render the image amber), and the user can change the position of the image to be rendered by sliding the image display device on a flat surface. The drinking glass system and drinking glass of the present invention are configured so that the left and right ends of the rectangular image display device are forcibly protruded from the sides of the drinking glass, so that the glass can be lifted by grasping or gripping the left and right ends of the image display device with both hands or the left and right hands. In other words, the image display device itself can be used in place of a handle for the glass. The beverage glass system and the beverage glass of the present invention can extract a part of an image from an image display device and project or enlarge it onto the beverage glass.

[Diagram 5] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an example of a drinking glass system with a lid. [Figure 6] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a drinking glass according to a first embodiment; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0009] [First embodiment of the beverage glass system] A first embodiment of a beverage glass system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The beverage glass system 1 of the present invention is a system in which a portion of an image on a rectangular image display device is selected and enlarged by pressing the left and right ends of the image display device with both hands as shown in Figures 1 and 2, and is roughly composed of a beverage glass 10 and an image display device 80. The image display device 80 has the shape of a rectangular plate having long and short sides, and examples of the image display device 80 include thin image display devices in the shape of a rectangular plate (or sheet-like shape) such as smartphones, mobile phones, tablet terminals, small displays, wide TV monitor terminals, and portable computer game terminals. The beverage glass 10 is composed of a glass body 11 which is a bottomed cylindrical body having an upper opening 13, a base 50 for installing an image display device 80, a fixing mechanism 60 for fixing or supporting the image display device 80 on the base 50 with its image display surface 81 facing toward the glass body 11, and a transparent section for viewing an image 82 on the image display device 80 through the glass body 11.
[0010] The glass body 11 is a cylindrical body (horizontally curved cylinder) with a bottom, and is filled with a beverage L. Examples of the glass body 11 include cups, glasses, and beer mugs with handles. Examples of materials for the glass body 11 include ordinary glass and transparent resins such as acrylic. The base 50 is fixed to the side of the glass body 11 or near the side, and is a component for installing (or fixing) the image display device 80 to the side of the glass body 11 (or near the side) with its long side (or end 87 of the long side) horizontal to the bottom surface of the glass body 11 and with the image display surface 81 facing toward the glass body 11. The fixing mechanism 60 is a member or mechanism for fixing or supporting the image display device 80 on the base 50 with its image display surface 81 facing the direction of the glass body 11, and examples of the fixing mechanism 60 include a fixing mechanism using a locking claw, a fixing mechanism using a magnet or a screw, and a fixing mechanism using a suction cup. In the examples of Figures 1 and 2, the image display device 80 is fixed onto the base 50 using a locking claw as the fixing mechanism 60. It is preferable that these fixing mechanisms 60 are mechanisms or configurations that can be temporarily removed when sliding the image display device 80 on the base 50. The transparent portion 12 is a transparent portion provided on the side of the glass body 1 for viewing the image 82 of the image display device 80 through the glass body 11. The transparent portion 12 is curved horizontally like a normal cup or glass. The image 82 of the image display device 80 (or the light of the image 82) passes through the transparent portion 12 and reaches the eyes of the user U. Note that the beverage glass system 1 of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 is assumed to be entirely transparent, that is, entirely made up of transparent portions 12, like a normal beverage glass. Note that it is not necessary for the entire side of the glass body 11 to be transparent (i.e., transparent portions 12), and other areas do not necessarily have to be transparent as long as the user U can view the image 82 of the image display device 80 (attached to the side of the glass body 11) through the glass body 11.
[0011] A further explanation regarding the transparent portion 12 will be provided. The transparent portion 12 is a transparent area provided on the side of the glass body 11 so that the user U can view the image 82 of the image display device 80 through the glass body 11 (or the drinking glass 10) as shown in Fig. 1. The user U can view (see) the image 82 through the beverage L inside the glass body 11 from outside the glass body 11 via the transparent portion 12. Note that the dashed line P in Figures 1 and 3 is an illustration for the purpose of explanation of the optical path P of the light of the image 82 projected from the image display device 80, and the image 82 displayed on the image display device 80 (more precisely, the image display surface 81) as shown by the optical path P passes (or passes through) the beverage L and the transparent part 12 in the glass body 11 to reach the outside of the glass body 11. Since the glass body 11 has a cylindrical shape (like a normal glass or mug), the transparent part 12 is curved in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the beverage L in the glass body 11 is inevitably curved in the horizontal direction as shown in FIG. 1. Since the refractive index of water (about 1.33) is larger than the refractive index of air (about 1.0003), the horizontally curved beverage L acts as a lens, and the image 82 is enlarged in the horizontal direction. In other words, the curved beverage L acts as a light refracting medium of a cylindrical lens (or a biconvex lens). In other words, as shown in FIG. 1, a user U can see an enlarged image 83 of the image 82 by looking at the image 82 through the curved beverage L inside the glass body 11 (through the beverage lens) through the horizontally curved transparent part 12. In the beverage glass system 1 of the present invention, the beverage L itself functions as a lens, so there is no need to provide a separate magnifying lens in the beverage glass, making it possible to reduce the weight of the glass body 11. The image magnification ratio of the image 82 can be increased by decreasing the radius of curvature of the glass body 11 (strictly speaking, the transparent part 12) (i.e., the radius of curvature of the beverage L, which is the lens). This is based on the basic principle of optics and lenses that the magnification ratio of a lens increases when the radius of curvature of the lens is decreased (for details, please refer to a specialized book on lenses and optics).
[0012] A few more details about pedestal 50. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in the beverage glass system 1 of the present invention, the image display device 80 is installed on the ground surface 51 at the upper end of the base 50 with the image display surface 81 facing toward the glass body 11 and with the end 87 of the long side of the image display device 80 (i.e. the long side of the rectangular image display device 80) and the bottom surface of the glass body 11 horizontal. There are two reasons for mounting the image display device 80 on the base 50. The first reason is to secure a space for the ring finger and little finger to fit between the table T on which the glass body 11 is placed and the bottom end of the image display device 80 attached to the glass body 11 as shown in Fig. 2. In order to press buttons 85 near the left end 88 and right end 90 of the image display device 80 or buttons 86 (touch panel buttons) on the image display surface with the user's thumb while holding the left end 88 and right end 90 with the user's hand UH, the ring finger RF and little finger LF of the user's hand UH must be positioned in the space between the bottom end of the image display device 80 and the table T (if the ring finger RF and little finger LF cannot be positioned in this space, the user must forcibly stretch the thumb to press the button 85 or the touch panel button 86, which is tiring). Since the width of a human ring finger or little finger is approximately 2.0 cm at most, in order to create a space in which the ring finger RF or little finger LF can be placed between the table T and the lower end of the image display device 80, the height h2 (strictly speaking, the vertical height) of the contact surface 51 at the upper end of the base 50 is set to 4.0 cm or more in the beverage glass system 1 of the present invention. In other words, by setting the height h2 of the contact surface 51 to 4.0 cm or more, it becomes easier for the user to press the buttons 85 near the left end 88 or right end 89 of the image display terminal 80 or the image display surface 81 (or the button 86 on the touch panel of the image display surface) with the thumb. The second reason for installing the image display device 80 on the base 50 is that by making the height h2 of the contact surface 51 4.0 [cm] or more, the bottom end of the image 82 (more precisely, the bottom end of the image display surface 81) that passes through the glass body 11 can be made 4.0 [cm] or more higher than the bottom of the glass. Therefore, the user U does not need to lift the glass or lower his / her viewpoint when viewing the image 82 (more precisely, its enlarged image 83) through the drinking glass. In other words, by making the height h2 (more precisely, the vertical height h2) of the contact surface 51 4.0 [cm] or more, the user U can comfortably view the image through the drinking glass. It should be noted that, although it goes without saying, the height h2 of the contact surface 51 must be lower than the height h1 of the glass body 11, otherwise the image 82 will not be able to pass through the transparent part 12 or the beverage L, so the height h2 of the contact surface 51 must be equal to or lower than the height h1 of the glass body. It should be noted that, naturally, the contact surface 51 is horizontal with the bottom surface of the glass body 11 and is flat enough that the image display device 80 on the contact surface 51 can slide.
[0013] In the beverage glass system 1 of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the base 50 is fixed to the side of the glass body 11, the image display device 80 is placed on the ground surface 51 at the upper end of the base 50 with its long side (end 87 of the long side) and the bottom surface of the glass body 11 horizontal, the diameter R of the glass body 11 is shorter than the length W of the long side of the image display device 80, the vertical height h2 of the ground surface 51 is higher than 4.0 [cm], and when the image display device 80 is placed on the ground surface 51, the vertical height h2 of the lower end of the image display surface 81 is The position is higher than 4.0 cm, and the fixing mechanism 60 supports or fixes the image display device 80 to the ground surface 51 with the image display surface 81 facing the direction of the glass body 11 and with the left end 88 and the right end 89 of the image display device 80 not in contact with the ground surface 51, and the user U presses (or performs a pressing operation on) the button 85 of the image display device 80 or the image display surface 81 (strictly speaking, the touch panel button 86 on the image display surface) with the left end 88 and the right end 89 of the image display device 80 not in contact with the ground surface 51. In addition, the user U slides the image display device 80 in a horizontal direction relative to the bottom surface of the glass body 11 with the image display device 80 placed on the ground surface 51, and the user U can also see an enlarged image 83 of a part of the image 82 of the image display device 80 through the transparent part 12 and the beverage L in the glass body 11 when the glass body 11 is filled with the beverage L.
[0014] 2, the diameter R of the glass body 11 is made shorter than the length W of the long side of the image display device 80, forcing the left end 88 and right end 89 of the image display device 80 to protrude (or stick out) from the side of the glass (when viewed from the viewpoint of a user U looking at the image display surface 81 from the front), which is a major feature of the beverage glass system 1 of the present invention. This allows the user U to see an enlarged image 83 of a part of the image 82 of the image display device 80 through the transparent part 12 and the beverage L in the glass body 11 when the glass body 11 is filled with beverage L. Another major feature of this configuration is that the user U can horizontally change (or shift) the position or area of the image 82 enlarged by the beverage lens in the glass body 11 by sliding the image display device 80 horizontally with either the left or right hand. In addition, since the vertical position of the image display device 80 fixed to the side surface (or near the side surface) of the glass body 11 using the pedestal 50 is more than 4.0 cm higher than the bottom surface of the glass body 11, as shown in Figure 2, when the user U holds the left end portion 88 (or right end portion 89) of the image display device 80 with the user's hand UH and presses the button 85 or the image display surface 81 (touch panel button 86) of the image display device 80 with the thumb of the user's hand UH, the user can place the ring finger RF and little finger LF in the space between the bottom end of the left end portion 88 (or right end portion 89) and the surface (table T) on which the glass body 11 is placed, which is a major feature (in other words, by making the height of the pedestal 50 more than 4.0 cm, the user U can comfortably press the button 85, etc. with his or her thumb).
[0015] The beverage glass system 1 of the present invention may be provided with a base height adjustment mechanism such as a screw adjuster mechanism for changing the height h2 of the base 50 (height h2 of the contact surface 51). This allows the user to adjust the height (vertical height) at which the image 82 (or the enlarged image 83) is projected depending on the situation. Also, as shown in FIG. 5, a lid 15 for closing the upper opening 13 may be provided.
[0016] By making the base 50 and the glass body 11 entirely out of transparent materials as shown in Figures 3 and 4, the user U may be able to see the object 0 (strictly speaking, its enlarged image 02) behind the glass body 11 through the transparent part 12 and the base 50. In the beverage glass system 1, the image display device 80 is installed on a pedestal 50 that is 4.0 cm or higher in height, and by making the pedestal 50 transparent, the user U can see the scenery and object 0 behind the glass body 11 and its transparent pedestal 50 from the user's viewpoint except for the area of the image display surface 81, which makes it possible to create an effect in which the image 82 projected into the glass body 11 (strictly speaking, an enlarged image 83 of the image enlarged by the beverage lens) appears to be floating in the beverage L. In addition, since air is colorless and transparent, if the beverage L poured into the glass is also a colorless and transparent beverage, it is possible to create an effect in which the image display device 80 appears to be floating in the air from the user's viewpoint. Note that the dashed line P2 in Figures 3 and 4 is an illustration for the purpose of explanation of the image of the optical path P2 of light projected from object 0 behind the glass body 11, and the light projected from object 0 as shown in optical path P2 passes through (or passes through) the transparent base 50, the beverage L in the glass body 11, and the transparent part 12 to reach the outside of the glass body 11.
