[0001] DESCRIPTION

[0002] Foldable egg cup for serving boiled eggs

[0003] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The invention, as the title of this specification states, a collapsible egg cup for serving boiled eggs, is an innovation that, within current techniques, provides previously unknown advantages.

[0005] TECHNICAL SECTOR

[0006] The present invention falls within the sector of household items or appliances, especially household or tableware, in the classification corresponding to tableware, egg cups and openers for soft-boiled eggs.

[0007] STATE OF THE ART

[0008] The present invention arises as a result of the inconvenience of stacking and storing the egg cartons currently on the market for serving boiled eggs at the table.

[0009] This is because these egg cartons are not easy to stack or store, making it difficult to store them in small spaces or stack them effectively.

[0010] Consequently, this invention, a collapsible egg holder for serving boiled eggs, has been designed with the ability to be folded after use for easy and practical storage, taking up little space.

[0011] Currently, there is no known existence of any folding egg cup for serving boiled eggs, which has structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal to or similar to those described in this specification, as claimed.

[0012] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] The object of the present invention is the creation of a folding egg cup for serving boiled eggs that provides a notable innovation within its field of application in the current state of the art, the characterizing details that make it possible being conveniently included in the final claims that accompany this description.

[0014] The present invention relates to a foldable egg cup for serving boiled eggs, which comprises interconnectable parts that form a single assembly with a semi-oval cavity intended to hold an egg.

[0015] This solves the problem of the inconvenience of storing and stacking several conventional egg cartons currently available on the market.

[0016] This egg holder is useful for serving eggs easily and conveniently, adapting to the needs of users who prefer a more efficient and functional solution.

[0017] The egg holder features a compact, interlocking design that makes it easy to transport anywhere you want to serve boiled eggs without sacrificing storage space.

[0018] To use the egg cup, simply assemble the interlocking pieces and place a hard-boiled egg in the corresponding semi-oval cavity. After use, the pieces can be disassembled and stored anywhere without taking up much storage space.

[0019] EXPLANATION OF THE FIGURES

[0020] To complete the description being made and in order to help better understand the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report is accompanied, as an integral part thereof, by some figures in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following have been represented.

[0021] Figure 1 represents the interconnectable pieces with the lower end in a straight shape and their respective assembly (2).

[0022] Figure 2 represents the interconnectable pieces with the lower end in a concave shape and their respective assembly (2).

[0023] PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION. The foldable egg cup for serving boiled eggs comprises interconnectable parts (1) that determine a set (2) with a semi-oval cavity (3) intended to contain an egg.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, the interconnectable parts (1) are structurally flat, thin with square or rectangular shapes.

[0025] In the preferred embodiment, the interconnectable pieces (1) each have a longitudinal straight opening (1.1) that is in the facing central sections of their lower and upper peripheral edges, intended to fit one inside the other, forming the assembly (2).

[0026] Preferably, the set (2) is an egg cup specially designed and intended to serve the boiled egg on the table in its intact presentation.

[0027] Generally, the semi-oval cavity (3) is formed by coupling the interconnectable pieces (1), which have a convex shape (1.2) at their upper ends, causing that when they are coupled together, the semi-oval cavity (3) is formed in the upper part of the assembly (2).

[0028] Preferably, the interconnectable parts (1) are made of a firm material that is resistant to heat, moisture and breakage.

[0029] Generally, interlocking parts (1 ) are made of a material that is opaque in color, translucent in color, transparent, or a combination thereof.

[0030] Preferably, the interconnectable pieces (1) at the lower end have a straight or concave shape, capable of providing a firm and stable hold to the assembly.

[0031] The external shapes of the object can vary. In addition to the two described above, they can be organic, shaped like animal silhouettes. Once the egg is placed in its hollow, it becomes part of the egg and can be decorated by the diner (child). The idea is to appeal to different audiences, from children to adults; sophisticated to practical.

[0032] Having sufficiently described the nature of the present invention, as well as the manner of putting it into practice, it is not considered necessary to explain it further so that any expert in the field may understand its scope and the advantages derived from it, stating that, within its essence, it may be put into practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and to which it will also achieve the protection sought provided that its fundamental principle is not altered, changed or modified.
