Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of Invention
- The present invention relates generally to cup holders for holding beverage containers, and, more particularly, to such cup holders that may be used in conjunction with shopping carts and the like.
- 2. Description of Prior Art
- With the proliferation of an “on the go,” “multitasking” lifestyle, comes the need to consume food and beverages in situations other than at home around the dinner table. Thus, fast food restaurants, convenient marts and the like provide food and beverages to satisfy that need. Alternatively, people may pack and go from home, bringing their food and beverages with them in the car to their next destination.
- Cup holders, for example, have been developed for automobiles (which should be appreciated by those skilled in the art and need not be repeated herein) to afford spaces for beverage containers including water bottles, fast food beverage containers, coffee mugs, soft drinks and the like.
- In situations where consumers bring their beverages with them from the car and into a store, or purchase beverages within a store, and consume the beverages while they continue to shop, however, it would be useful and desirable to have a device that held a person's beverage container on a shopping cart to allow hands free shopping and to avoid beverage spillage. In addition, it would be useful and desirable for such a device to be easily assembled, implemented, and disassembled by one individual.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, cup holders for holding beverage containers, and, more particularly, cup holders that may be used in conjunction with shopping carts and the like to allow hands free shopping and to avoid beverage spillage, are provided.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a cup holder that can be easily assembled for use by one individual without the use of an adhesive, such as glue, is provided.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a cup holder that can be easily implemented by one individual is provided.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a cup holder that can be easily disassembled for compact storage until reuse, or for disposal is provided.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a cup holder comprising a bottom wall, two side walls, a top surface, a front side (side facing away from the consumer and towards a basket of a shopping cart), and a back side (side facing the consumer and away from a basket of a shopping cart) is provided. The bottom wall comprises a smaller surface area than that of the top surface, but is large enough to support a bottom surface of a beverage container. The side walls comprise hook portions which engage the cage of a shopping cart, e.g., a horizontal bar member at the back side of a shopping cart. The top surface comprises a surface area that is larger than the surface area bottom wall. A majority of this area is above the basket or a seat in the cart, and the remainder of the area resides over and behind said horizontal bar member. The top surface further comprises slits extending circumferentially around an opening to frictionally engage the outside surface of a beverage container. This opening leads into a beverage container holding area, formed by the inside portions of the bottom wall, top surface, and two side walls, where a beverage container resides during use of the cup holder. This area is above the basket or a seat in the cart.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the hook portions extend up the side wall perpendicularly from the horizontal plane of the bottom wall, or may extend at a slight angle from the horizontal plane of the bottom wall and away from the beverage container holding area. At about half way up the side portion is the hook end of the hook portion (The hook portion looks like the silhouette of a backwards “P” or a number “9.”).
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the front end portions of the side walls extend from the front side of the cup holder at an angle from the horizontal plane of the bottom wall, and away from the beverage container holding area to the top surface. The side wall further comprises a portion which is parallel to the plane of the bottom wall, and begins about halfway up the side wall from the bottom wall, just below the hook end of the hook portion. This parallel portion rearwardly extends to a portion which is perpendicular to (or at a slight angle from) the plane of the bottom wall and upwardly extends to meet the top surface.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the cup holder of an embodiment of the present invention holds beverage containers such as water bottles, fast food beverage containers, paper “to-go” coffee containers, coffee mugs, travel mugs, soft drink cans, soft drink bottles and the like. More preferably, the cup holder of an embodiment of the present invention holds fast food beverage containers.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the cup holder of an embodiment of the present invention in its unassembled form comprises a flat planar sheet, made of a paper product such as cardboard, corrugated F. Flute and the like. The flat planar sheet comprises two bottom wall portions, two side wall portions, a top surface portion (which comprises slits extending circumferentially around an opening), all in one plane. Each bottom wall portion comprises a slit and a fold, which separates each bottom portion from an adjacent side wall portion. Each side wall portion comprises a hook portion with a hook end and a fold, which separates the side wall portion from the top surface portion.
- In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the assembly of the cup holder comprises folding the folds that separate the side wall portions from the top surface portion in the same direction perpendicular to the plane of the planar sheet, folding the fold that separates each bottom portion from an adjacent side wall portion in a direction towards the other respective bottom portion and perpendicular to the plane of the side wall portions, and engaging the slits of the respective bottom portions with one another to lock the bottom portion so that it forms a single planar bottom wall surface which is parallel to the top surface. The container can then be installed onto a shopping cart by engaging the hook portions with a hook end with the cage of a shopping cart, e.g., a horizontal bar member at the back side of a shopping cart as described supra. A beverage container may be placed into the cup holder after the cup holder is assembled, preferably after the cup holder is engaged with the shopping cart. The cup holder may be disassembled by performing the assembly steps in the opposite order.
