The detailed description of preferred embodiment and method
Referring now to accompanying drawing, describe more specifically, first the preferred embodiments of the present invention relate to (heat) drinking container plug-in package, so that buyer/drinking person can be from beverage 101 relatively hot, that assembly holds transferring heat (totally representing with 100) effectively, to enter cooled beverage 101 before the mouth of buyer/drinking person at beverage.Therefore, the present invention considers to provide cost low, disposable mechanism really, for heat energy is delivered to relatively cold environment from relatively hot liquid beverage 101, thereby can prevent scald originally and/or overflowing subsequently.
When observing in conjunction with hot-beverage container assembly, can conceive the structure of container that the present invention includes with 10 expressions, with the lid structure of 11 expressions with conventionally with any in 12,13,14,15, the 16 and 17 many replaceable insert structures that represent.Can conceive basic structure of container preferably include container bottom with 18 expressions, with the wall of container of 19 expressions and with the upper container edge of 20 expressions.Upper container edge 20 has edge periphery, and edge periphery preferably extends in the overall edge planes with 102 expressions.
Can conceive and cover structure 11 and preferably include lip top 21, tegmental wall 22 and lower cover edge 23, lower cover edge 23 has container edge-reception groove 24.Therefore, as shown in Fig. 4,19,21 and 24, lower cover edge 23 receives upper container edge 20 or otherwise acts synergistically with upper container edge 20 substantially.Tops 21 comprises main container outlet 25, and outlet 25 can have different size and structure.Figure 13 and 14 shows and is roughly circular outlet 25 (a) and 25 (b), and with comparing of seeing with 12 from Figure 11, their diameter is different.For example, the diameter of round exit 25 (a) is larger with respect to the diameter of round exit 25 (b).
Can consider that other go out mouth-shaped, as ellipse outlet or be essentially the outlet of rectangle.Although should be noted, larger main exit 25 tends to flow out fast beverage (with 103 expressions), the beverage 101 holding when assembly is thus for may more easily scalding buyer/drinking person when hot in nocuity ground, for enforcement of the present invention, can think that the size and dimension of main exit 25 is also non-key.Therefore, can expect, the present invention is to have relatively large main beverage outlet 25 by lid structure 11 specific designs.
For enforcement of the present invention, be mainly plug-in package or insert structure 12-17.Each of insert structure 12-17 preferably includes with internal beverage-obstruction structure of 26 expressions with the external edge edge-connected structure of 27 expressions.Beverage-obstruction structure (one or more) 26 and external edge edge-connected structure (one or more) 27 are different in embodiment 12-17, but consider that all beverage-obstruction structures (one or more) 26 are preferably formed by semi-rigid, heat insulation, food stage and heat-resisting material.With regard to this last point, in the time of should considering heat 100 to be delivered to described material, this material should stand minimum or minimized structure/change in size.
Therefore, can consider, the material structure of beverage-obstruction structure (one or more) 26 can preferably be defined as the material (one or more) of cardboard, card stock or similar foam or foam class, because the normally lower-cost material of this class material has again performance or the feature of expectation.Preferably the size and dimension of beverage-obstruction structure 26 is defined as for being received in edge periphery, and be received within obstruction plane 104, preferably in stopping plane 104, extend, it is coplanar or parallel with edge planes 102 that this stops plane, if cardinal principle is as shown in Figure 23 and 24.
Consider the heat-proof quality of suggesting material structure, can consider the beverage 100 (generally as shown in figure 24) that holds by radiant heat 100 being reflected back into assembly, beverage-obstruction structure 26 can provide fit closely heat-proof quality.Thus, can equip with heat-reflective coating or material the surface (one or more) contrary with beverage of insert structure 12-17, thereby produce the radiation barrier (as the thin polymer of high polishing or metallic membrane) with 30 expressions.
Edge-connected structure (one or more) 27 is preferably by flexibility, fluid-tight, food grade materials (as the layer of thin polymer or similar foamed materials) forms, and any is can be around beverage-obstruction structure (one or more) 26 stacked or cover thereon, thereby prevent from take that the draws fluid that water is base is general as in the material of Figure 15 (b) and 15 (c) shown beverage-obstruction structure (one or more) 26, or can be fixedly coupled to a surface of beverage-obstruction structure 26, thereby provide the important structure that is similar to skirt section to the beverage-obstruction structure generally illustrating as Figure 15 (a) and 15 (d).
With regard to last point, it should be noted that, the typical shape on coffee cup or similarly the upper edge edge of Other Drinks container is roughly rounded.What for upper container edge 20, lower cover edge 23, beverage-obstruction structure (one or more) 26, provide is conventional round-shaped, preferably edge-connected structure (one or more) 27 radiates or stretches out from beverage-obstruction structure (one or more) 26, therefore it is contemplated that the structure that similar skirt section is provided for beverage-obstruction structure (one or more) 26.
With reference to Figure 23 and 24, can see that edge-connected structure (one or more) 27 is preferably received between the upper container edge 20 and lower cover edge 23 in groove 24, for the space (the similar effect that packing ring is provided) between (1) sealing upper container edge 20 and lower cover edge 23; (2) by form sealing closely between structure of container 10 and lid structure 11, insert structure is connected to structure of container 10 and lid structure 11; And (3) by being substantially placed in beverage-obstruction structure (one or more) 26 and edge-connected structure 27 relative two-layer and stopping plane 102, limit (a) bottom beverage-hold compartment 105 and (b) top beverage-cooling compartment 106.
It should be noted that beverage-obstruction structure 26 of covering structure 12 preferably includes cardinal principle with the first hole or the otch and second hole or the otch of cardinal principle with 29 expressions of 28 expressions.The first otch 28 (be equipped with beverage-through mechanism (beverage-permeating means)) mainly plays a part to make beverage 101 from beverage-hold compartment 106 to flow to beverage-cooling compartment 105, and the second otch 29 mainly plays a part to make air from beverage-cooling compartment 105 introduction beverages-hold compartment 106.The heat that beverage-cooling compartment 105 receives from beverage 101, thus cooled beverage 101 before further flowing out beverage 101 via main beverage outlet 25.
Yet, the first otch 28 (be equipped with beverage-through mechanism) can have secondary function, in order to air is introduced to beverages-hold compartment 106 from beverage-cooling compartment 105, and the second otch 29 can have and makes beverage 101 from beverage-the hold secondary function that compartment 106 flows to beverage-cooling compartment.Thus, reader is drawn towards Fig. 2 and 3 and can see by watching described accompanying drawing, and lid structure 11 or insert structure 12 (and lid structure 13-17) can relative to each other be rotated to make the first and second holes 28 and/or 29 be placed in the below of contiguous main beverage outlet 25.
No matter beverage flow 103 is to flow out by the first otch 28 or by the second hole 29, and the heat 100 that beverage-cooling compartment 105 receives from beverage 101 thus can cooled beverage 100 before beverage further flows out via main beverage outlet 25.Can consider, beverage-obstruction structure 26 and edge-connected structure 27 speed of beverage flow 103 that slows down, so that can be from beverage flow 103 transferring heats 100.Buyer passes through around the rotation axis rotational parts 11 or 12 (or 13-17) with 110 expressions, can with respect to selected insert structure (usining structure 12-17 as example), adjust and cover structure 11 easily, thus realize buyer with the best, slow down or optimal way is controlled at the selected beverage temperature of buyer by beverage flow 103.
As above-mentioned, beverage-obstruction structure 26 is preferably covered by edge-connected structure 27, thereby prevents that aqueous vapor from sucking beverage-obstruction structure 26.Therefore, it should be noted, can be by many beverage discharging structures (letting structures) or beverage-be formed on the position (one or more) by the first and second otch/ hole 28 and 29 examples in edge-connected structure 27 through mechanism's (as hole or groove) to locate, so that beverage 101 passes exemplary otch/hole (one or more) 28 or 29 and contribute to beverage flow 103.Beverage discharging structure (as hole or groove) also can be formed on subsequently in beverage-obstruction structure (one or more) 26 of structure 13-17 in greater detail.
The preferred embodiment of considering according to the present invention is substantially as Fig. 1-3,5-5 (b), and 21, and the lid insert structure 12 shown in 22.Lid insert structure 12 preferably includes beverage-obstruction structure 26, and beverage-obstruction structure has first and second holes 28 and 29 of relative wedge shape.Although the first otch 28 shapes are similar to the second hole 29, larger with respect to the second hole 29.Edge-connected structure 27 can be formed to the relatively two-layer covering beverage-obstruction structure 26 making by liquid-tight material.At otch 28 places, the material of edge-connected structure 21 forms double-decker 31.
If think that the first otch 28 limits main obstruction and exports, and think that the second hole 29 (as the wedged hole of opening) limits less important obstruction outlet, can recall, main and less important obstruction outlet is placed in alternatively to the below of contiguous main beverage outlet 25.For given insert structure 12, can consider that main obstruction outlet preferably includes the hole 32 that a series of linearities are arranged, these holes are equidistantly outwards radial from the first otch 28 or the main relative edge 33 that stops outlet.
After lid structure 11, structure of container 10 and insert structure 12 are assembled, hole 32 extends internally from upper container edge 20 and lower cover edge 23, so that buyer is by making drinking container assembly with respect to the horizontal plane or beverage surface 109 tilts and can control the flow through speed in a series of holes 32 of beverage flow 103, as usually and comparatively illustrated in a series of views of Figure 25-28.
Comparatively observe Figure 25-28, they are that reader for example understands that beverage stops structure 26, edge-connected structure 27 and beverage-through mechanism (as example, in this example, be hole 23) speed of beverage flow 103 that concurs to slow down, and heat 100 is passed into beverage-cooling compartment 106 from beverage 101.
Figure 25 shows first, minimum cant, and wherein the beverage surface 109 of level is lifted to higher than outmost hole 32, causes beverage flow 103 can pass through this hole.Figure 26 shows the second angle of inclination of the double-decker 31 larger with respect to the angle of inclination of Figure 25.Observing Figure 26 can find out, the beverage surface 109 of level is elevated to higher than outmost two holes 32, and therefore the beverage flow 103 of increase can be provided with respect to the stream 103 shown in Figure 25.
Figure 27 shows the 3rd angle of inclination of the double-decker 31 larger with respect to the angle of inclination shown in Figure 25 and 26.Observing Figure 27 can find out, the beverage surface 109 of level is elevated to higher than outmost three holes 32, and therefore the beverage flow 103 of increase can be provided with respect to the stream (one or more strands of) 103 shown in Figure 25 and 26.
Figure 28 shows the 4th angle of inclination of the double-decker 31 larger with respect to the angle of inclination shown in Figure 25-27.Observing Figure 28 can find out, the beverage surface 109 of level is elevated to higher than outmost four holes 32, and therefore the beverage flow 103 of increase can be provided with respect to the stream shown in Figure 25-27 (one or more strands of) 103.
So, can conceive, the less important beverage outlet (or beverage-through mechanism) that comes from beverage-the hold increase of compartment 105 a series of holes 32 linear rows is distributed in to the main obstruction outlet that is arranged in the first otch 28 places, to can be provided with respect to the angle of inclination of level or beverage surface 109 based on double-decker 31.
Can expect, lid structure 13 is structurally similar to covers structure 12, but its hole 46 (similar hole 32) extends through trilaminate material, i.e. the internal layer of the skin of edge-connected structure 27 and beverage-obstruction structure 26.It is generally acknowledged that main obstruction outlet is limited by hole 46, and think that the second hole (namely passing the radial slot 47 of described three layers) limits less important obstruction outlet.Can recall, can by the main and less important obstruction egress selection being limited by hole 46 and groove 47 be placed in the below of contiguous main beverage outlet 25.
With reference to insert structure 13, therefore can conceive the main a series of holes 46 that export an edge that can preferably include contiguous beverage-obstruction structure 26 that stop.After lid structure 11, structure of container 10 and insert structure 13 are assembled, hole 46 inwardly and stretch out adjacent upper portions container edge 20 and lower cover edge 23 so that buyer is by making drinking container assembly with respect to the horizontal plane or beverage surface 109 tilts and can control the flow through speed in a series of holes 46 of beverage flow 103.
Lid structure 14 comprises relatively wide wedged hole 48, and same main obstruction outlet extends through trilaminate material, the i.e. internal layer of the skin of edge-connected structure 27 and beverage-obstruction structure 26.It is generally acknowledged that main obstruction outlet is limited by hole 48, and think that the second hole (that is, passing the radial webge slot 49 of described three layers) limits less important obstruction outlet.Can recall, can by the main and less important obstruction egress selection being limited by hole 48 and groove 49 be placed in the below of contiguous main beverage outlet 25.
Therefore,, with reference to insert structure 14, can consider that main obstruction outlet can preferably include single wedged hole 48, an edge of the contiguous beverage-obstruction structure 26 of this wedged hole.To cover after structure 11, structure of container 10 and insert structure 14 assemblings, hole 48 inwardly and stretch out adjacent upper portions container edge 20 and lower cover edge 23 so that buyer is by making drinking container assembly with respect to the horizontal plane or beverage surface 109 tilts and can control beverage flow 103 by the speed in hole 48.
So with reference to insert structure 15, can consider that main obstruction outlet preferably includes single semi-circular hole 50, an edge of the contiguous beverage-obstruction structure 26 of this semi-circular hole.To cover after structure 11, structure of container 10 and insert structure 15 assemblings, hole 50 inwardly and stretch out adjacent upper portions container edge 20 and lower cover edge 23 so that buyer is by making drinking container assembly with respect to the horizontal plane or beverage surface 109 tilts and can control beverage flow 103 by the speed in hole 50.
Lid structure 16 comprises the relatively wide wedged hole that is similar to hole 48, and same main obstruction outlet extends through trilaminate material, the i.e. internal layer of the skin of edge-connected structure 27 and beverage-obstruction structure 26.It is generally acknowledged that main obstruction outlet is limited by hole 48, and think that the second hole (that is, passing the radial webge slot 47 of described three layers) limits less important obstruction outlet.Can recall, can by the main and less important obstruction egress selection being limited by hole 48 and groove 47 be placed in the below of contiguous main beverage outlet 25.
So with reference to insert structure 16, can consider that main obstruction outlet preferably includes single wedged hole 48, an edge of the contiguous beverage-obstruction structure 26 of this wedged hole.To cover after structure 11, structure of container 10 and insert structure 16 assemblings, hole 48 inwardly and stretch out adjacent upper portions container edge 20 and lower cover edge 23 so that buyer is by making drinking container assembly with respect to the horizontal plane or beverage surface 109 tilts and can control the flow through speed in hole 48 of beverage flow 103.
Lid structure 17 comprises the arcuate slots 52 through double-decker 31, and the first crossbow incision 53 common restriction that this arcuate slots vicinity is formed in beverage-obstruction structure 26 are mainly stopped outlet.It is generally acknowledged that main obstruction outlet is limited by groove 52 and the second hole (that is the radial slot 54, medially forming with respect to the oval structure with 55 expressions being formed in beverage-obstruction structure 26).So groove 54 is formed in oval structure 55 positions through the two layers of material that covers beverage-obstruction structure 26.It is generally acknowledged that groove 52 limits less important obstruction outlet.Can recall, can by the main and less important obstruction egress selection being limited by groove 52 and groove 54 be placed in the below of contiguous main beverage outlet 25.
Therefore with reference to insert structure 17, can consider that main obstruction outlet can preferably include single arcuate slots 52, an edge of arcuate slots 52 contiguous beverage-obstruction structures 26.To cover after structure 11, structure of container 10 and insert structure 17 assemblings, groove 52 inwardly and stretch out adjacent upper portions container edge 20 and lower cover edge 23 so that buyer is by making drinking container assembly with respect to the horizontal plane or beverage surface 109 tilts and can control the flow through speed of groove 52 of beverage flow 103.
According to the present invention, the alternative embodiment of preferred structure relates to a kind of special lid structure that is applicable to receiving beverage-obstruction structure.In this embodiment, substantially eliminated edge-connected structure, and certain structure-maintaining body is formed on and covers in structure, to keep beverage-obstruction structure.Thus, the present invention has also conceived a kind of for equipping the drinking container cap assemblies of drinking container, make buyer can be from the relatively hot beverage that holds assembly 101 transferring heat 100.
This interchangeable cap assemblies comprises, in combination, with 40 (a), various lid structures that 40 (b) and 40 (c) represent and with beverage-obstruction structure of 41 expressions.Identical with lid structure 11, each covers structure 40 (a), and 40 (b) and 40 (c) preferably include lip top 21, tegmental wall 22 and with the lower cover edge of 23 expressions, this lower cover edge is equipped with edge-reception groove 24.Therefore, lower cover edge 23 receives drinking container edge, top 20, and lip top 21 comprises the main beverage outlet with 25 expressions.Between lid structure 11 and lid structure 40 (a), 40 (b) and 40 (c), main difference is, lid structure 40 (a), and the tegmental wall 22 of 40 (b) and 40 (c) also comprises certain the inner obstruction-maintaining body as different examples.
For example, can consider, the obstruction-maintaining body of lid structure 40 (a) can be by usining obstruction-reception groove of 42 expressions as example.For example, can consider, beverage-obstruction structure 41 can be formed has the round-shaped of certain diameter, and the cross-sectional plane of tegmental wall 22 should comprise groove 42, the diameter of this groove is slightly large than the diameter of beverage-obstructions structure 41 in size, so as receiving as be illustrated in the beverage-obstruction structure 41 in Figure 16 and 16 (a).For given certain structural thickness with 43 expressions of beverage-obstruction structure 41, can consider that groove 42 has bigger edge and receives thickness, to receive the thickness 43 further illustrating in Figure 16 (a).
Also can consider, the obstruction-maintaining body of lid structure 40 (b) can be received or stop and keep flange as example by usining the obstruction of 44 expressions.For example, as forming, fruit beverage-obstruction structure 41 there is the round-shaped of certain diameter, and the cross-sectional plane of tegmental wall 22 comprises obstruction-maintenance flange or pearl with 44 expressions, its diameter is slightly little than the diameter of beverage-obstruction structure 41 in size, so as by beverage-obstruction structure 41 remain on as between the angle of inclination and pearl 44 of the wall 22 shown in Figure 17 and 17 (a).
Also can consider, pearl 44 or pearlitic texture can be discontinuous.That is to say, pearlitic texture does not extend on the whole circumference of tegmental wall 22.Thus, can conceive the circumferential isolated obstruction-maintenance pearl in a series of edges or projection 45 can also extend radially inwardly from tegmental wall 22, so as to keep beverage-obstructions structure 41 and as the assembled relation of lid structure 40 (c) shown in Figure 18.
Generally at the replaceable cap assemblies structure shown in Figure 16-18, comprise, in combination, with 40 (a), various lid structures that 40 (b) and 40 (c) represent and with exemplary obstruction-maintaining body, with beverage-obstructions structure of 41 expressions, can expect this replaceable cap assemblies structure be preferably applicable to as with the lid structure of the relatively large main beverage outlet of 25 (a) expression.Thus, should note, larger outlet 25 (a) often has relatively large flowing velocity (in Figure 20 with 103 expressions), and have and overflow more tendency, therefore, beverage-obstruction structure 41 resembles to be directly connected to covers structure 40 (a), 40 (b) and/or 40 (c) (having relatively large main beverage outlet 25 (a)) are the same, can expect adapting to well the flowing velocity 103 slowing down and/or preventing from overflowing via the larger outlet 25 (a) of obstruction-maintaining body.
In addition, can consider, although beverage-obstruction structure 26 is preferably placed in the obstruction plane 104 being basically parallel to the upper container edge planes of 102 expressions, beverage-obstruction structure 41 needn't be arranged in the obstruction plane 107 being basically parallel to generally in the lower edges plane 108 shown in Figure 16 and 17.For example, if tops 21 tilts or tilts to arrange with respect to lower edges plane, beverage-obstruction structure 41 preferably remains parallel to tops 21 substantially by obstruction-maintaining body, and pith of the present invention still can be implemented.The above is exemplary, should not be considered as restriction.
Can consider, beverage-obstruction structure 41 is substantially identical with beverage-obstruction structure 26, but increased fluid-tight feature, therefore beverage-obstructions structure 41 is preferably formed by semi-rigid, heat insulation, heat-resisting, food stage and material impervious to water, for example the material of (or applying similar other hydrophobic materials) card stock, carboard or the foam-type of waxing.Beverage-obstruction structure 41 preferred sizes and shape are confirmed as for engaging collaboratively with obstruction-maintaining body of selecting.Although consider that this structure configuration is optional for implementing this alternative embodiment, because selectively engage with obstruction-maintaining body, as mentioned above, beverage-obstruction structure 41 has been illustrated in the obstruction plane 107 of the lower cover edge planes 108 that is parallel to lower cover edge 23 and has extended.
Therefore beverage-obstruction structure 41 of assembling and lid structure (one or more) 40 (a-c) limit bottom beverage-reception compartment 112 and top beverage-cooling compartment 111.In the time of on being provided to drinking container edge, top 20, beverage-reception compartment 112 puts in beverage-hold compartment 105.As the different holes that otherwise limit or describe with reference to beverage-obstruction structure 26 or groove (as, hole 28,29,46,48 and 50 and/or groove 47,49,51,52 and 54) in any select like that, beverage-obstruction structure 41 comprises the first and second holes.
To stop outlet the same with first of lid structure 12-17, and the Main Function in the first hole of beverage-obstruction structure 41 is to make beverage 101 from beverage-hold compartment 105 to flow to beverage-cooling compartment 111.The Main Function in the second hole of beverage-obstruction structure 41 is that air is introduced to beverages-hold compartment 105 from beverage-cooling compartment 111.Beverage-cooling compartment 111 is similar to compartment 106, before discharging main beverage outlet 25 at described outflow beverage 101, from this outflow beverage 101, receives heat 100.
