Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a system and a method for securing a vessel to a removable handle such as a pint glass, snifter, or disposable cup.
  • Pint glasses are utilized around the world for drinking. During use pint glasses become slick and susceptible to slipping. Additionally, the liquids contained in pint glasses are typically chilled and the user prefers that the liquid stays as cold as long as possible.
  • Cups such as those manufactured by SOLO® are typically utilized for consuming liquids and then discarded.
  • Disposable cups are typically just a cup without a handle. The costs associated with manufacturing a handled drinking vessel are greater than the market will bear for disposable drinking vessels.
  • Stemmed vessels such as snifters
  • Stemmed vessels are utilized for retaining liquids to be consumed by users.
  • users hold portions of the vessel while consuming the various liquids interior to the vessel.
  • the vessel is designed in such a way to focus aroma to the user's nose while consuming the liquid.
  • a thermal transfer occurs when users hold the vessel with their hands as the user's body warms the contents or cools the contents of the vessel. While there are many holders for cups well known in the art, considerable room for improvement remains.

  • the entire holder 105 can be made of an elastomer and perform the same functions as the solid structures described. If entirely made of elastomers, a rigid rod (may include curved features in the rod) may be needed to be located in the handle to ensure control of the vessel.
  • the holder 105 is of one-piece construction with the handle being connected to a securing band(s) and clip(s) that holds the glass/vessel.
  • the holder has hinges affixed at joints to provide collapse-ability and portability.
  • the band/straps secure the glass/vessel but don't necessarily have to fully surround the circumference of the glass.
  • the clip(s)/swivel clip(s)/hinge clip(s) attach to bands/handles/ or both.
  • the holder is preferably a single piece structure of the flexible or semi-flexible material.
  • the decreasing radius of the standard pint glass from top to bottom, with respect to how the user holds the glass vessel, allows for structure complementing the decreasing radius, as to allow a secure hold of the glass/vessel.
  • the invention when in proper configuration(if hinges present or elastic band present), allows the user to insert and secure the pint glass/vessel within the invention.
  • a structure such as a clip(s)/hinge(s)/swivel(s) ensures the pint glass/vessel is securely affixed to the invention.
  • the upper fixtures over the lip, such as the clips 113 allow for easy inversion of the glass/vessel.
  • the invention reduces drops and spillages and allows users to use the glass/vessel along with handheld electronic devices.
  • One component construction reduces complexity.
  • the holders 105 can be 3D printed, injection molded, or another thermoplastic molding techniques. If an elastic band(s) are used, they will be separately molded and affixed to the handle.

  • Rib 213 is located on body 205 and acts to provide strength to the cup 201 while the cup is filled with liquid.
  • Lip 215 extends from the top of the cup.
  • Cup 201 is thin-walled and made of plastic therefore as users hold the cup it deforms. Furthermore, the thermal nature of the thin-walled cup transfers heat from the user's hand into the preferably cold liquid. Thereby leaving the user's hand colder and the drink warmer.
  • Holder 301 is comprised of a band portion 305 with an integral handle portion 309.
  • Holder 301 is preferably fabricated from plastic however other materials are contemplated such as elastomers, metals, composites, and wood.
  • the lateral geometries of the banded portion allow for a slight circumferential expansion of the banded portion.
  • the integral handle portion is shown being one piece with the banded portion, it is contemplated that the handle portion is separate from the banded portion and is fastened together.
  • Band portion 305 is a ring configured to receive the lip of the disposable cup and provide access to the rim of the cup for drinking.
  • Band portion 305 is comprised of a lip 311 , a notch 313, a drinking opening 315, and a pinch opening 317.
  • Lip 311 is located adjacent the notch 313 and creates an upper surface of the holder. Lip 311 retains the upper most portion of the disposable cup. Notch 313 further retains the rest of the lip 215 of the disposable cup 201.
  • Notch 313 may alternatively be utilized for securing generally conically shaped vessels having similar geometries to the disposable cup such as glass vessels and rigid plastic vessels.
  • Band portion 305 may utilize more or fewer openings, such as drinking opening 315 and pinch opening 317, so long as a region of the band portion is configured to receive and retain the lip of the cup. Securing the lip portion of the cup prevents the cup from sliding out of the holder during use and while partially inverted during drinking from the cup.
  • the banded portion 305 utilizes two separate drinking openings 315 to allow a user to place their lips on the disposable cup instead of the holder. Additionally, as illustrated the banded portion utilizes two separate pinched openings 317 to allow a user to compress the disposable cup while inserting the cup into the banded portion while not touching the cup near the drinking opening. Pinching the cup away from the drinking openings reduces germs and keeps the cup cleaner.
  • Integral handle portion 309 extends from the band portion 305 and rests upon the lower portion of the disposable cup. As illustrated the handle portion is comprised of various bends configured for a user's thumb to apply downward pressure to the handle.
  • System 301 is comprised of a holder 301 and a cup 201. Users deform the cup from opposite directions, thereby creating an elliptical shape in the cup.
  • the rimmed lip of the generally conical deformable disposable cup deforms with pressure, as applied by the user, and the rimmed lip of the cup is pushed under the upper lip of the holder and into the notch of the holder.
  • the cup is received by the holder and remains deformed while retained in the holder. Users are able to securely hold and drink from the vessel while using the handle of the holder.
  • the holder may be utilized with a non- deformable cup.
  • a cup fabricated from glass or metal when inserted into the holder would not be deformed.
  • the holder would still retain the cup having a similar conical shape and size to the disposable cup described above.
  • Certain beverages such as brandy and beers having an average alcohol content of 8% are consumed from snifters or vessels that are configured to maximize the drinking experience through the inhaled aroma of the beverage.
