Abstract
本文中提供了一种用于使饮料和食物容器隔热的可折叠空气隔热套。更具体地,该可折叠空气隔热套保持杯子从而使空气保持在杯子周围。这样提供了改进的温度调节和足够的隔热,以有助于使用者稳固地抓握和使用杯子,而防止了由杯中内容物造成的过度的热量或冷凝。由于多数一次性杯子的底座比它们相应的边缘要小,可折叠空气隔热套确保了在杯子底部具有更多的空气且因此具有更好的隔热效果。较大的底座也使杯子具有更好的稳定性。支撑环可居中地位于套内以加强套并防止其被使用者持握时松散损坏。该套也可较短从而使杯子的中间部分隔热。印刷材料也能固定到可折叠空气隔热套的外表面上来用于广告或其它目的。可折叠空气隔热套的一些实施例还包括盖,以进一步提高隔热性。
Description
技术领域
本发明涉及用于饮料容器的隔热装置,并更具体地,本发明涉及通过使用空气作为隔热器来使饮料及食物隔热。
背景技术
一次性杯子在日常中用于快餐店和路边饭店,盛放热饮和冷饮。由于这样的杯子具有相对较薄的杯壁,因而其隔热效果较差。因此,里面盛有热饮的杯子通常很热,以致难以舒适地持握,里面盛有冷饮的杯子的外表面经常会聚集湿气,也使得杯子难以持握,从而导致持握者的手以及桌子变湿。此外,冷饮会快速变温,而热饮会迅速损失热量。
为了响应更好的饮料隔热器的需求,已使用过各种一次性的纸板套和纸套。这些杯套的尺寸被做成在饮料杯的外侧上滑动并且通过摩擦来保持到位。现有饮料杯的较大直径端防止了杯套在使杯子保持时从杯子滑脱。但是,由于此类装置通常较薄,因此它们的隔热效果差。而且,与杯子的紧密接触导致额外的热量传递到隔热器之外。由于液体在杯底处存在的时间更长,因此饮料杯的底部需要额外的隔热。而且,此类装置一般覆盖住了位于杯子的外侧上的任何印刷材料,导致失去了做广告的机会。尽管发明了一些透明的隔热器,但由于它们与杯子紧密接触并且通常由导热材料制成,因此作为隔热器会丧失一定的隔热效果。一些更有效的隔热器体积太大并且在较小的便利店中占据太多的存储空间,因此使得一次性杯子过大而不适合于大多数杯子保持器。对于大多数一次性杯子的另一个问题是,由于现有杯子具有较窄的底部,因此不稳。这样,在饮料工业中,对具有更好隔热和整体改进的杯子具有很大的需求。
为了解决由于杯子外侧上聚集的湿气导致难以抓握热饮或冷饮的问题,一些一次性杯子具有把手。不幸的是,把手的问题在于,其通常由纸片或其它的片状材料制成,而且当使用者通过把手来抓住杯子时,把手缺乏足够的强度来在竖直位置上保持杯子。换句话说,杯子的重量会导致把手下陷或撕裂,使得杯子倾斜而溅出饮料。
发明内容
本发明涉及用于饮料容器的隔热装置,并更具体地,本发明涉及通过使用空气作为隔热器来使饮料及食物隔热。
本发明的优选实施例包括构造成可滑动地接纳和保持饮料杯的可折叠空气隔热套。该可折叠空气隔热套以这样的方式保持杯子,从而使得在杯子周围有气囊。气囊使饮料隔热。使用者可通过抓握可折叠空气隔热套的外表面来持握杯子,从而避免接触热的或湿的杯表面。由于多数一次性杯子的底座比它们相应的边缘要窄,因而就可能有更多的空气且以及更好的隔热效果,尤其是朝向可折叠空气隔热套所保持的杯子底部。较宽的底座也使杯子具有更好的稳定性。而且,可折叠空气隔热套外部的材料可做成允许广告或其它印刷材料固定到的其外表面上。可折叠空气隔热套能由许多种材料制成,包括塑料或纸。可折叠空气隔热套还可折叠成基本上平的姿势。
在该实施例中,杯的底座放在可折叠空气隔热套的内底座上。空气隔热套还具有基本管状外壳和边缘,其内底座通过至少一个底部连接条连接于其外底座,外底座与外表面接触并支撑整个套-杯结构。内外底座之间的空间充满空气,并还起到了使杯中的内容物隔热的作用。
在另一实施例中,可折叠空气隔热套的外底座与外表面接触并支撑整个套-杯结构。
在另一实施例中,可折叠空气隔热套的内底座具有开口,杯子可通过该开口进入,直到杯子太大而被阻止进一步通过,或是直到杯子接触到可折叠空气隔热套的外底座并被外底座支撑。
在另一实施例中,可折叠空气隔热套的外底座尽管比其支撑的杯子宽,但该空气隔热套仍足够窄而能与多数杯子保持装置相配合。
在另一实施例中,可折叠空气隔热套包括与杯子的顶部边缘相连接的杯盖。该提供空气腔的杯盖基本上是中空的,该空气腔进一步使杯中内容物隔热。当可折叠空气隔热套用于食物时,杯盖上没有开口。当用于冷饮时,杯盖具有开口,吸管可通过该开口放置。最后,当用于热饮时,杯盖具有圆形杯口和杯帽,该杯口和杯帽可以是分开的或一体的。
尽管本发明的方法和过程已被证明特别适用于饮料容器,但是显然本领域技术人员明白该方法和过程也能用于各种不同应用来使各种不同种类的对温度敏感的物质(例如汤和其它食物)隔热。
本发明的这些和其它特征和优点将通过以下的说明书和所附权利要求而更清楚。通过所附权利要求中具体指出的装置及组合能实现和获得这些特征及优点。而且,如下文中所述的,本发明的特征和优点可通过本发明的实例而了解到并且通过说明书而变得显而易见。

具体实施方式
本发明涉及用于饮料容器的隔热装置,更具体地,本发明涉及通过使用空气作为隔热器来使饮料及食物隔热。
在说明书及权利要求中,术语“杯子”指用于容纳消耗性液体和固体的任何容器,或是用于使装满食物或液体的盘子隔热。杯子的例子包括一次性杯子、桶、食物存储容器、剩余食物容器、砂锅盘容器、小汤碗及任何其它需要对其中的饮料或食物进行隔热的、类似形状的容器。
通过本发明的实施例的大致描述可知,利用空气隔热屏障在杯子的容纳物周围形成温度梯度。该空气隔热屏障可以是放置在杯子外部周围的隔热套,或者可以是放置在杯子顶部的盖。屏障的材料可包括纸,塑料,或两者的结合。所述本发明使形成隔热屏障所需的材料量最少,同时为使用者在如何使杯子隔热方面提供最多的选择,使隔热套可根据隔热盖来选择,反之亦然。此外,本发明的一些实施例中讲述了屏障形状可折叠为紧凑形式,以及可选择地展开为起作用的形式。最后,本发明讲述了通过采用具有高摩擦系数的材料来改变表面,从而提高本发明的使用者对杯子的抓握。
参考图1A-5B,示出了短隔热套5的两个示例实施例,其中所述隔热套能可选地接纳杯子10,杯子10和隔热套5具有支撑环15,并形成隔热空气腔20,该隔热空气腔具有从隔热套的外壁25到杯子温度的温度梯度。支撑环15支撑杯子10的重量,同时由隔热套5包住,并提供杯子10和隔热套5之间的接触点。另外,居中定位的支撑环15为使用者抓握隔热套提供增加的支撑,从而防止隔热套在被抓握时松散损坏,并且防止隔热套的外壁25接触杯子10。短隔热套的外壁25的区域足够大,以防止使用者的手接触到杯子10的外表面。隔热套的具有较短长度的优点在于,降低了生产成本并且减少了多个隔热套所需要的存贮空间量。
如图1B和4A所示,隔热套可被折叠成使该隔热套的外形最小。另外,该隔热套可具有凹痕,使隔热套能沿着期望的轴线来折叠。
图2A示出了没有杯子插入其中情况下的隔热套。支撑环15的支撑具有足够刚性,即使当杯子没有插入到隔热套的中心时,也能保持隔热套处于打开的形式。制造突片或突片30位于支撑环的外边缘上,并将支撑环15连接于外壁25。
图2B的部分透明视图示出了形成在杯子10和隔热套5之间的隔热空气腔20。由于空气分子难以传递动能,因此公知的,空气具有极好的隔热效果。
图3B示出了具有外壁25的隔热套5,延伸部分35延伸到支撑环15之外。该实施例允许支撑环15更紧密地靠近在一起,同时还为使用者的手提供了足够的区域,以保护手不接触到杯子10的温度。
现在参考图6A-20B,其示出了隔热套5的一些实施例,隔热套5具有多个支撑杯子10重量的结构梁形式的结构件40。尽管与这里叙述的其它实施例相比,结构梁形成了更多的接触,但这些梁提供了极好的支撑,从而允许使用者套上各种重量的杯子。杯子可大可小,可容纳食物或饮料,并且适合尺寸的隔热套仍然能支撑杯子10的重量。
图6A到7A示出了短隔热套,其使用最少的材料并提供最少的保护和隔热,而图7B示出了长隔热套,其通过覆盖更多的杯表面区域来为杯内物品提供更好的隔热,同时也为使用者的手提供了更好的保护。
图8A,10B,13B,15B,18B和20B示出了折叠以使用于套的储存区域最小的隔热套5。
图9B和10A所示的由隔热套5的结构梁支撑的杯子10的透明视图详细地示出了形成在隔热套的外壁25和杯子10的表面之间的隔热空气腔20。另外示出的是套的延伸部分35,延伸到结构件40之外,使制造者在仍能提供防止使用者的手接触杯子所需的外壁25的量的同时,使得用于形成结构件40的材料量最少。如图所示,隔热套可以只覆盖杯子的一部分,或者基本上覆盖整个杯子。
图11A示出了圆的半球状结构件。使用圆的半球来形成隔热空气腔进一步减少了形成隔热套所需的材料量,并且使杯子和隔热套的配装简单。使用圆的半球可使使用者将杯子滑入该隔热套中,同时隔热套仍处于部分折叠状态,这是因为没有支撑环或构件要对准。
图12A和12B示出了结构件40为圆的半球的实施例,该实施例中,在隔热套的外壁25和杯子10的表面之间形成有隔热空气腔20。其长度可以较短,仅覆盖一部分杯子表面,也可以较长,基本覆盖杯子的整个长度。
图13A和14A至15B示出了支撑结构,其包括沿着隔热套内壁45的管状环形式的结构件40。结构件40和杯子10之间的连续接触使得,当杯子10的重量较大时,能对杯子10提供更好的支撑。此外,结构件40与杯子10的连续接触形成隔热空气腔20,可使更少的空气在杯子10和隔热套5之间移动,从而对杯子10提供隔热。
图15A示出了本发明的启示,其中支撑管状环形式的结构件40的数量随着隔热套5的长度而增加,从而为使用者当抓握套5和杯子10时提供支撑。
图16A至17B示出了短的和长的倾斜半圆的结构梁形式的结构件40。
图18A和19A-20B示出了火焰状结构梁形式的结构件40,其提供了在杯子10与短隔热套及与长隔热套之间的增大的多方向摩擦力。
图21A和21B示出了用作结构件40的截面的可选示例。
图22A示出了隔热盖50内的各种形状开口的可选示例。该开口可用于通风,穿过吸管或通过内容物。下面叙述的隔热盖50有助于在杯子周围形成另一个温度梯度,从而有助于使内容物隔热。
图22B示出了隔热套5的实施例,其中杯子位于适配器55内,该适配器55适于将隔热套5装配到杯子保持装置(未示出)中。通常,杯子保持装置的尺寸被设定为使杯子紧贴地放到该保持装置中。如果隔热套基本增大了杯子的圆周周长,则使用者可以不使用杯子保持装置。通过该实施例,使用者可使用隔热套5和杯子保持装置。
图23A和23B示出了用于将隔热套和杯子放到杯子保持装置中的适配器55。该适配器提供了较宽的接纳端,用来接纳杯子和隔热套。此外,适配器可使其较宽端部适合较窄端部以配合到标准的杯子保持装置中。期望较窄端能适配到任何尺寸的杯子保持装置中,包括加宽的杯和隔热套组合,包括加宽底部来装配到两个扶手60之间。
图24A至24B示出了加宽以支撑60的适配器55,并在影院中提供工作或休息表面。而且,杯子保持装置可期望用于汽车中,飞机上,酒吧里或是现有技术中公知的任何地方。
现在参考图25A和25B,示出了隔热套外壁25和隔热盖50上的结构件40的外形的可选示例。除了这里所示的,本发明还包括现有技术中公知的任何构造的结构梁,以提供隔热套和隔热盖的刚性和支撑。
图26A,27A,28A和29A示出了隔热套5中插入有杯子10的隔热套5的可选示例,且支撑环15的数量优化成支撑杯子10的重量和尺寸。如上面叙述的,支撑环15在支撑环15组之间或支撑环15和底部65之间形成隔热空气腔20,其有助于防止杯10中的内容物变热或变冷,也能防止人手持握杯子10。根据成本、制造和储存方面的考虑,隔热套5可覆盖部分或基本上全部的杯子10。突片30提供了支撑,以将支撑环15连接到隔热套。另外,每个支撑环都形成了封闭的隔热空气腔20。
图26B,27B,28B和29B示出了折叠后的隔热套5以及折叠后支撑环15的位置。当使用者展开隔热套5并插入杯子10时,所有的支撑环同时被强迫打开,从而使杯子滑入隔热套内。本发明讲述了一种可折叠的隔热套5,可改变之处包括支撑环15的数目和用来必要地支撑期望杯重的可选底座65。这样,本发明示出了支撑环的数目或布置和位置,这样的布置优化了隔热套5的性能。
参考图30A-35B,其示出了带有隔热盖50的杯子10。隔热盖50包括顶壁70,底壁75,可松开地与杯子10的杯缘85连接的杯缘扣80。顶壁70和底壁75形成隔热空气腔20的壁,底壁位于杯缘平面90内,从而使杯子10内能充满物体,而不需要为隔热腔20省出空间。在不利用隔热空气腔填充存储空间的情况下,隔热盖50使杯子10的存储容量最大。但是,本发明还给出启示,通过使隔热空气腔20位于杯缘平面90之下来使隔热盖50的外形最小。
如上述在图25B中描述的,结构件40可位于隔热盖50的空气隔热腔20内,来提高其结构整体性,并且在整体上对容器提供附加的支撑。当隔热盖50起到除了覆盖杯子之外的其它作用时,该附加的支撑可能是必要的。此类作用可以是提供限定的开口53,吸管95可插入穿过该开口53。结构件40将提供必要的强度,以允许使用者使用吸管95,而不会损害隔热盖的结构整体性。
另一附加作用可以是提供一个内容物漏斗100,杯中的内容物可通过该漏斗进入使用者的嘴中。内容物漏斗100可以是隔热空气腔20的一部分,如图33B中所示,或者隔热空气腔20可在到达漏斗100之前终止,如图34B所示。为防止变冷和溅出,该漏斗具有杯帽105。
图31A和31B示出了隔热盖的另一实施例,其中结构件40可提高气泡状盖110的功能。由于气泡状盖110向上凹入的形状和结构件40提高了隔热盖的功能性,使得内容物能延伸到杯平面90之上,从而有效地增加杯子10的存储容量,同时仍能通过气泡状盖110来隔热和覆盖。同样,隔热空气腔20既可位于隔热盖内部以使隔热盖的外形最小,如图31B所示,也可位于隔热盖外部的外部以使杯子的容量最大。气泡状盖110内的限定开口53允许使用者插入吸管95。
图35所示的示例实施例示出了具有平盖50的杯子10,该杯子10包括位于杯缘平面90之上的隔热空气腔20,以及与杯子边缘接合的杯缘扣80。此实施例可用于食物储存,例如如果烤鸡店想要让顾客的食物在卖出前一直保持热的,可以将鸡肉放在杯中,将杯子放在隔热套中,并将隔热盖放在杯子顶部上。对于汉堡包或任何其它食物也适用同样的情况。此外,隔热盖50可以连接到另一盖上,以形成蛤壳式设计并保持食品内容物为热的。另外,本发明给出了所述设置的所有组合方式的启示。
现在参考图36A至41B所示的示例实施例,其中示出了各种隔热套的形状,它们为杯子提供了增强的隔热。隔热套的形状可基本上是圆柱形的,套壁分别平行,从而当杯子在底部逐渐变细时,在隔热套的底部相比在顶部形成更大的隔热空气腔20。这样的形状为隔热套的底部提供了增强的隔热效果,在隔热套底部,杯中内容物将保存最长时间。而且,本发明给出了这样的启示:将支撑环15放置在若干位置上,以使得来自靠近空杯处区域及杯子的隔热填满部分的区域的空气循环量最小。另外,支撑环15为隔热套提供了增强的结构支撑,从而防止了当隔热套被使用者抓住或持握时而发生松散损坏。这里,隔热套5在杯子10的整个长度上延伸,从而基本上使整个杯子10隔热。大致圆柱形的隔热套还为杯子提供了较宽的、更具支撑性的底座,从而防止了当杯子处于隔热套中时可能的溅出或翻倒。
此外,本发明给出了这样的启示:隔热套的底部既可包括杯子10放在其上的底座65,也可包括杯子10通过其中的支撑环15。当隔热套5大致为圆柱形时,支撑环15必须保持同心,但也可补偿杯子10尺寸的改变。
现在参考图42A至52A,本发明还给出了锥形套5的启示,以便大致平行于杯子10的壁延伸,如图所示。在替代性的示例实施例中,隔热套5覆盖杯子10的不同长度,包括大约为杯子表面的一半,杯子表面的四分之三,和杯子表面的整个长度。此外,如前面所讨论的,本发明讲述了与隔热套5的顶部平齐的支撑环15,以及示出了隔热套5的延伸超出顶部支撑环的延伸部分35的替代性实施例。而且,隔热套5可以是可折叠的,从而使同时运输或储存多个隔热套的体积最小。
现在参考图52B至58,其中示出了杯口115的示例实施例,且在替代性实施例中,在图53B、55B中显示了斜角的边缘,在图57B中显示了宽边缘125。边缘的尺寸可根据杯子的内容物或者为了提高当把杯口放入嘴中时使用者的舒适性而改变。当与隔热套5和隔热盖50结合使用而在最高的支撑环15之上形成附加的隔热空气腔时,杯口115可提供附加的热屏障。当杯口置于杯子边缘上时,通过使杯中热的内容物在被使用者饮用之前与冷的表面进行接触,杯口还可提供冷却表面。
因此,如本文所讨论的,本发明的实施例包括了用于食物或饮料容器的领域的隔热装置。具体地,本发明涉及通过使用空气作为隔热器的一次性隔热杯子。本发明可在不偏离其精神和主要特性的情况下包含其它特定的形式。所述实施例均被看作只是示例性的而非限制性的。因此本发明的范围由所附权利要求而非前述说明书来限定。所有落在权利要求的等同物的意义和范围内的改变均包含在权利要求的范围内。
