Container for food and beverage
View Patent ↗A food/beverage container includes a cup-shaped main body for containing liquid content, and a cap having a hemisphere body provided with a spouting portion. The cap is designed to be normally or inversely fitted on the cup-shaped main body. The cap includes a first coupling part along an outer circumference configured to attach to and tightly contact a coupling edge of the container for normal fitting in an opposed second coupling part positioned opposite the first coupling part for inversely fitting to the cup-shaped main body.
1. A food/beverage container comprising:
a cup-shaped main body for containing liquid content; and
a cap having a hemisphere body provided with a spouting portion, the cap being designed to be normally and inversely fitted on the cup-shaped main body, the cap including:
a first coupling part along an outer circumference configured to attach to and tightly contact a coupling edge of the cup-shaped main body in a normal fitting position and an opposed second coupling part positioned opposite the first coupling part to attach to and tightly contact the coupling edge on an outer wall of the cup-shaped main body, and
further including an inner portion configured to tightly contact an upper inner wall of the cup-shaped main body in an inversely fitting position;
wherein the hemisphere body includes a plurality of ribs at an inner surface coextending in a direction toward the spouting portion;
wherein the spouting portion is provided with a spouting member insertion hole;
wherein the spouting member insertion hole is configured to received therethrough a spouting member, with the cap selectively in both of the normally and inversely fitted positions, to allow a user to drink contents of the cup-shaped main body through the spouting member both when the cap is in the normally fitted position and when the cap is in the inversely fitted position
wherein the plurality of ribs are configured to prevent filter paper from adhering to the inner surface whereby the plurality of ribs allow dripping liquid through the filter paper to flow toward the spouting portion and into the container when the cap is in the inversely fitted position;
wherein the main body coupling edge is located at an upper end with a coupling circumference.
2. The food/beverage container of claim 1 wherein when the cap is inversely fitted, a circumference of the hemisphere body tightly contacts an inner circumference of the main body.
3. The food/beverage container of claim 1 wherein a sub-cover is further provided to cover the cap.
4. The food/beverage container of claim 1 wherein the cap is provided with an air intake portion.
5. The food/beverage container of claim 4 wherein the air intake portion is divided by a cutting line and connected to a pulling handle.
