Insulated cup with double wall construction
View Patent ↗A cup is disclosed. The cup includes: a cup body made of synthetic resin and having a containing part with an opening having a relatively large diameter to be able to receive a beverage or food; and a cup holder fitted on the cup body from the opposite end to the opening to be fixed on the outer side under the opening of the cup body. The upper end of the cup holder is fitted on a holder top seat on the outer side of the opening of the cup body and the lower end of the cup holder is in contact with the outer side of the lower portion of the cup body at a position such that the portion except for the upper and lower ends of the cup holder is spaced a distance from the outer side of the containing part of the cup body.
1. A cup comprising:
a cup body made of synthetic resin and having a containing part with an opening being open upward and having a relatively large diameter to be able to receive a beverage or food; and
a cup holder made of synthetic resin and fitted on the cup body from an end opposite the opening of the cup body, with a portion except for an upper end and a lower end thereof spaced a predetermined gap from an outer side of a containing part of the cup body,
wherein the cup body has:
a holder top seat extending downward a predetermined length from the opening and stepped such that a diameter thereof decreases downward, and having an inclined fastening groove having a diameter decreasing upward, on an outer side thereof;
a containing part-inclined surface extending downward from the holder top seat such that a diameter thereof decreases downward, having a containing part for receiving a beverage or food, and having an outer side inclined at a predetermined angle from an upper portion integrally extending from the holder top seat and a lower end forming the containing part; and
three or more anti-sticking protrusions formed with regular angular intervals around an inner side of the containing part at a predetermined distance from the opening of the cup body toward a bottom of the containing part, with the outer side forming the containing part of the cup body maintained at a predetermined angle, in order to support a bottom of a second cup holder inserted in the containing part of the subject cup body when a second cup composed of the second cup holder and a second cup body is stacked, and
the cup holder has:
a pipe-shaped grip inclined with a predetermined length such that a diameter thereof decreases downward, and having an inclined fitting portion formed such that a diameter of an inner side of the cup holder decreases upward to correspond to the inclined fastening groove formed on the outer side of the holder top seat of the cup and to be in close contact with the inclined fastening groove; and
a bottom seating protrusion protruding inward from a lower end of the grip of the cup holder to be in close contact with a lower portion of the cup body and having air holes formed with regular angular intervals so that external air flows between the outer side of the containing part of the cup and the grip of the cup holder.
2. The cup of claim 1 , wherein the opening of the cup body is formed to be able to receive a beverage or food and is stepped with a predetermined length from an upper end thereof toward the holder top seat such that the stepped portion decreases in diameter at a lower portion thereof, wherein a portion extending from the opening of the cup body to the holder top seat is stepped in two steps.
3. The cup of claim 1 , wherein a cup holder bottom seat is recessed inward at a predetermined position on the containing part-inclined surface of the cup such that the bottom seating protrusion at a lower portion of the cup holder is seated in close contact with the cup holder bottom seat.
