Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a foldable cup made from a semi-rigid rectangular sheet folded in half so that the two halves are superimposed, the lateral edges of which are fixed between them and the bottom of which, preformed by creasing, constitutes a form concave after unfolding to keep the cup open.
  • Patent FR-A-2614873 describes a cup of the aforementioned kind in which the zone where the fingers are pressed naturally, to hold the cup when it is brought to the lips, corresponds to the concave zone of greatest spacing of the walls of the cup which is crossed by the fold line of the starting sheet as well as by random fold lines which can occur at the time of the formation of the bottom, especially if the operation is carried out manually by an uninformed person. All these fold lines constitute zones of weakness in locking the concave bottom when the cup is held naturally with the fingers, which then tends to regain its initial shape and to collapse. One can avoid sagging by holding the cup by the side edges fixing the half-leaves together, but this is not a natural position of the hand.
  • the patent FR-A-2629052 proposes a locking mode, using the stabilization flaps described in the patent FR-A-2614873, which is an effective solution but relatively complex to implement by the untrained user.
  • the object of the invention is to provide the user with a foldable cup provided with a preformed concave bottom having no parasitic fold lines which are the cause of the collapse of the cups described in the aforementioned patents and making it easier to unfold by simple pressure on its lateral edges while ensuring better stability to said cup in the unfolded state.
  • the preformed concave bottom of the cup is a dihedral delimited by the surfaces of two isosceles triangles inscribed in two isosceles right triangles having a base and common vertices.
  • a semi-rigid thin strip whose lower edge constitutes a support polygon of said cup.
  • the cup according to the invention is produced from an elongated rectangular sheet (fig. 1) made of a semi-rigid material and in the central part of which a creasing is practiced forming a rhombus 1 whose angles of the opposite vertices 2, located in the vicinity of the lateral sides 3, are acute and preferably placed on the center line 4 of said sheet.
  • This rhombus 1 delimits the surface of the concave bottom 5 of the future cup (fig. 4) when it is deployed.
  • a second creasing in the form of a square 6 is superimposed on this first rhombus 1 having two opposite vertices 7 coinciding with the vertices 2 of the rhombus 1 situated on the median line 4.
  • This square 6 is the bottom of the future cup (fig.5) when 'it is folded up.
  • Two lateral creasing lines 8 (fig. 1) parallel to the longest sides 3 of the sheet, and passing through the vertices 2 and 7 at square 6 and at rhombus 1, delimit the zone for fixing the lateral edges 9 (fig. 4 ) of the goblet between them.
  • a central crease line 10 (fig. 1) parallel to the long sides 3 of the sheet, passing through the other vertices 11 and 12 of the square 6 and of the diamond 1, constitutes in particular the fold line of the bottom 5.
  • the sheet is gradually folded (fig. 1) along the central creasing line 10 (fig. 2) so that the outer part 13 of the future cup forms a hollow.
  • the bottom 5 of the future goblet which was initially a rhombus 1 (fig. 1) turns into a dihedron formed by two isosceles triangles 14 and 15 having their base 16 in common and begins to form the concavity of the bottom (5).
  • the zones 17 and 18 located on either side of the bottom 5 are pressed until their curvature is reversed, by reversing the direction of folding at the level of the central creasing line 10, and assume a shape convex formed by two dihedrons 21 and 22, with a central edge 19 and 20, which will constitute the lateral faces of the cup (fig. 4).
  • the concave bottom 5 is hollowed out while the edges 23 and 24 of the convex dihedrons 21 and 22, located on either side of the concave bottom 5 and which constitute the zones 9 (fig. 4) for fixing the walls. lateral between them, come closer and are superimposed at the end of movement by folding at the level of the lateral grooves 8. It is then possible to fix the lateral walls between them to form a cup whose upper orifice in the shape of a rhombus .
  • the area of the edge 25 (fig. 6) which is used for drinking, is located in the area where said edge intersects the central fold line 10.
  • the entry of the cup (fig. 6) takes place naturally in the vicinity of the ends 12 of the common base 16 (fig.3) of the two triangles 14 and 15 forming the concave bottom which is constituted by a dihedral very resistant to the pressure of the fingers since it does not have folds which could constitute buckling primers.
  • grooves 29 can be formed formed from lines parallel to each other and perpendicular to the central fold line 10.
  • the initial rectangular sheet can be extended by the flaps 30 (fig. 7) described in patent FR-A-2614873 with a crease line 31 at their base which can allow folding to ensure the stability of the cup (fig. 9) .
  • each flap 30 is folded on itself along its axis of symmetry which is also the extension of the lateral edges 19 and 20.
  • the cup is unfolded (fig.8) as previously described, the flaps 30 then forming two dihedral whose edges 32 are the extensions of the sides side 19 and 20.
  • edges 32 are pressed at the level of the grooves 31 situated at the base of the flaps 30 so that the dihedrons formed by these flaps 30 become plane by simple deformation. It is then possible to turn the flaps 30 whose direction of folding is reversed to form another dihedral matching the shape of the side walls 21 and 22 (fig. 9) of the cup, thus constituting rigid support points 33 combined with those 34 at the end of the zones 9 for fixing the lateral faces 21 and 22 to each other which are in the vicinity of the vertices 2 of the triangles making up the concave bottom 5 of the cup.
  • This solution consists in fixing to the side wall 35 of the cup (FIGS. 10 and 11) when it is unfolded, a thin semi-rigid strip 36 of which one of the sides 37 is in contact with the surface on which the unfolded cup rests, constituting a support polygon.
  • This strip 36 is in one or more pieces and surrounds all or part of the base of the cup.
  • the strip 36 (fig.10) or the strip 40 (fig.13) includes if necessary grooves 46 corresponding to those 47 of the lateral surface 35 or 44, the shape of which it must conform to when the cup is unfolded.
  • the width 49 or 50 of this strip is preferably equal to or greater than the depth of the hollow formed by the concave bottom 38 or 51.
  • a thin semi-rigid strip 36 is placed on either side of the base of the cup, preferably in unfolded position so that the lower lateral border 37 of the bands 36 forms the support polygon alone or in cooperation with the points 52 of the concave bottom 51.
  • Each of the bands 36 is fixed at least at its ends 54 which cover the areas 55 for fixing the opposite side walls 35 of the cup. Then, when the cup is folded (fig.12) the side bands 36 mask the triangular base 53. This side band 36 can be fixed by welding or gluing.
  • a small tongue 56 In the upper part of the cups (fig. 10 and 14), we can keep a small tongue 56, a few centimeters wide, which extends the edge of the cup and which, when folded, makes it possible to form a neck for drinking properly .
  • This tongue can also be extended by a flange 57 (FIG. 12) for closing the cup when it is folded, from which it is separated by a precut 58.
  • This flange 57 can be closed by gluing, welding, stapling or any other suitable means. To use the cup, it is necessary to cut beforehand the flange 57 constituting a closure which guarantees the content and its cleanliness.
  • Such a cup can be easily obtained from a sheet of compact cardboard internally coated with a plastic film used for sealing the cardboard and for fixing the edges 9 or 55 to each other by welding.
