Description
- The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/965,065 filed Oct. 30, 2013.
- Not applicable.
- Not applicable.
- Not applicable.
- Not applicable.
- This invention relates generally to the field of drinking cups and more specifically to a shaker cup and lid used for mixing powdered contents with liquid contents.
- Drinking cups that include removable water tight lids are well known in the marketplace. They are used to hold sports drinks, or baby formula, coffee drinks or any other liquid drink that needs to be carried from one place to another. One specific category of cups with lids is the powdered supplement market, where a specific amount of powdered supplement and a prescribed amount of liquid, such as water, is added to a cup. In some cases, a secondary device is included within the cup to help break up clumps of powder as the user shakes the ingredients up and down within the lid covered cup.
- One such configuration can be seen in S. Sorensen's U.S. Pat. No. 6,379,032 which shows a wire type coiled wire form ball that is inserted into a bottle and breaks up powder as the bottle is shaken by the user. Other drinking cup devices include liners, such as baby bottles that have liners that are inserted into the bottle which are mainly used to reduce the introduction of air into the milk formula, but which also speed up the bottle cleaning process, since the liners are disposable.
- However there are some deficiencies in the prior technology. In bottles that use liners, the cap portion still needs to be cleaned after each use. In cups that are meant to be shaken to disperse powdered supplements into liquid, the cup, lid and clump removal device all have to be cleaned after each use. This can be time consuming and in some cases inconvenient if the user is not near a clean water source at the time of cleaning. Additionally, normal liners that are used in conjunction with baby bottles and the like are not made of biodegradable material and therefore pose a threat to the long term health of the environment.
- The foregoing patents reflect the current state of the art of which the present inventors are aware. Reference to, and discussion of, these patents is intended to aid in discharging Applicants' acknowledged duty of candor in disclosing information that may be relevant to the examination of claims to the present invention. However, it is respectfully submitted that none of the above-indicated patents disclose, teach, suggest, show, or otherwise render obvious, either singly or when considered in combination, the invention described and claimed herein.
- The primary object of the invention is to provide a shaker cup for mixing ingredients in a covered cup where an internal liner, cap, and grid member are disposable so that the cup itself does not need to be cleaned after each use.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a shaker cup whose disposable parts are made of biodegradable materials.
- Other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following descriptions, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein, by way of illustration and example, an embodiment of the present invention is disclosed.
- In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention, there is disclosed a shaker cup comprising: a main cup body made of rigid material and having an external threaded portion molded into its upper wall surface , a disposable cup liner, a disposable mixing grid, a disposable lid member including a drinking spout portion , a disposable spout cap member, a lid retaining ring having a threaded portion molded into its inner wall surface, said disposable cup liner capable of insertion into said main cup body where the outside wall of said liner maintains close proximity to the inside wall of said main cup body, said disposable cup liner having an outwardly disposed flange at its upper most perimeter that fits over the top of said main cup body lip, said disposable mixing grid capable of fitting within the top area of said main cup body and said disposable liner and having a flange that matches the said flange of said disposable liner, said disposable lid member having a flange that matches the diameter of said disposable liner flange, said lid retaining ring capable of being screwed onto said main cup body, and in the process, capturing said inner liner flange, said mixing grid flange and said lid member flange and holding them in a liquid retaining manner, and said disposable spout cap member capable of removably engaging said lid spout in a liquid retaining fashion.
