The present invention belongs to the technical field of drinking tools, and specifically relates to a flip-open straw cup lid and cup.
Cups are specialized vessels for holding water. They mainly function to store and drink water. Depending on manufacturing materials, the cups can be classified into glass cups, plastic cups, ceramic cups, wood cups, stainless steel cups, etc.
In the prior art, a straw on a cup lid body adopts the design of a bouncing lid, and cooperates with a rotary button to achieve downward folding of a silicone suction nozzle by flipping the bouncing lid when there is no need to drink water and locking of the bouncing lid by cooperation of the bouncing lid and the button, which has the function of stowing the silicone suction nozzle to prevent the silicone suction nozzle from being exposed and contaminated when there is no need to drink water. However, such water cups have the following problems: 1. in an open state, one side of the bouncing lid configured to contact the silicone suction nozzle faces upwards and easily comes into contact with the hand, such contact can cause bacteria to grow on the bouncing lid, and the bacteria will transfer when the bouncing lid comes into contact with the silicone nozzle, resulting in contamination of the silicone suction nozzle and ingestion of the bacteria in drinking water; and 2. the water cup is designed for drinking water only, resulting in single function.
To address the shortcomings of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a straw cup lid which is flip-opened without contact between a first straw segment and a second flipping member by segmented flipping of a first flipping member and the second flipping member which causes the first straw segment to be folded over along the first flipping member, as well as a multifunctional water cup with a stand, where a lifting handle on a cup body is flipped to a stowing side when not in use, while the stand is either parallel to an outer circumference of the cup body or overlaps with the lifting handle in an upward direction, resulting in a more compact overall structure, making it easier to be packaged and carried.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
A flip-open straw cup lid, comprises:
A flip-open straw cup, comprises a cup body, a lifting handle and the flip-open straw cup lid described above, wherein the flip-open straw cup lid is mounted at an opening of the cup body, the cup body is provided with a stowing side and a support side, the lifting handle comprises a first lifting handle portion and a second lifting handle portion arranged to extend along a circumferential direction of the cup body, a first end of the first lifting handle portion is hinged to the cup body or the straw cup lid, and both ends of the second lifting handle portion are connected to a second end of the first lifting handle portion; and the lifting handle further comprises a clamping groove provided on the first lifting handle portion or the second lifting handle portion and arranged away from the second lifting handle portion;
The flip-open straw cup lid and cup according to the present invention have the following beneficial effects:
1. When there is no need to drink water with a straw, the first flipping member and the second flipping member are flipped to realize fit between the mounting end and the cup lid body for fixation, so that the first straw segment is clamped and stowed by the second flipping member and the cup lid body, while the first straw segment is facing left and parallel to a top of the cup lid body, resulting in a more compact overall space.
2. When it is desired to drink water with the straw, by releasing the fit between the mounting end and the cup lid body, the first flipping member can turn relative to the cup lid body, so that the first straw segment faces upwards for drinking water; moreover, the second flipping member can turn relative to the first flipping member, so that the second flipping member can continue to be folded to the left and away from the first straw segment, preventing a spatial position of the second flipping member from affecting the first straw segment, resulting in smoother drinking.
3. The lifting handle is located on the stowing side, and the stand is not only located directly below the lifting handle, but also arranged in parallel with an outer circumferential wall of the cup body, so that the stand occupies only one-thickness space of an outer circumference of the cup body in the case of extreme structural design in the case of limit structural design (i.e., compact structure of the stand and the cup body); moreover, the stand is located directly below the lifting handle, which has little effect on the packaging and carrying of the water cup, facilitating the packaging and carrying.
4. The lifting handle is located on the support side for supporting a display or picture on the stand.
5. When the lifting handle is flipped to be located above the cup lid body, the stand, the clamping groove and the loading opening are all arranged inverted, so that a hanging bar can be snapped into the loading opening, so that the cup can be hung on the hanging bar or can be lifted by hand.
