OUTLINE OF INVENTION

Problem can be Solved by Invention

However, the technology of Patent Literature 1 requires dedicated equipment and electricity, which poses a high hurdle to its introduction. Therefore, the present invention is designed to provide glasses that are visually attractive and functional by only printing.

How to Solve the Problem

In order to helps users easily identify the contents of the container, new invention—a transparent container for liquids—is printed at least 2 colors on the surface. So, when pouring the liquid with the same color as the color as the color on the container, the printing with the same color as the liquid will become invisible due to assimilation, while the other printing (with different color) will be visible.

Furthermore, the container's printing has 2 colors, one color represents for one type of liquid, and other color represents another type of liquid.

The Effect of the Invention

This kind of liquid container makes the indication disappear depending on the color of the liquid. It also makes pouring the liquid more enjoyable and helps the user know what liquid is in the cup, preventing accidental ingestion.

EMBODIMENT FOR IMPLEMENTING THE INVENTION

We will describe the embodiment of the liquid container of this invention. FIG. 1 shows a front view of the implementation of the glass.

Glass 1 is a transparent glass. To minimize the reflection of printed shadows on the liquid inside, the wall should be as thin as possible, not thicker than 5 mm.

Printing 2 is done in white color, and the word “coffee” is printed on the glass, slightly above the center of its height.

Printing 3 is done in black color, and the word “milk” is printed on the glass, slightly below the center of its height. In this case, the letters should be as thin as possible, especially in the vertical direction, to minimize the reflection of printed shadows on the liquid, especially when the user uses white liquid.

FIG. 2 is a front view of the glass 1 in FIG. 1 with milk (M) poured into it. Because the milk is white, when the milk is poured higher than the “coffee” letter (2), the white “coffee” letter (2) becomes invisible because it assimilates with the color of milk (M). The black print of the word “milk” (3) enhances the contrast and makes it clearer when milk (M) is poured.

In this way, when the user pours milk into glass 1, the word “coffee” disappears, and only the word “milk” is visible. It displays the content inside the container, adding an interesting aspect, including the visual effect of the letters disappearing in the process. At the same time, it allows the content to be displayed without applying any external force.

On the other hand, FIG. 3 is a front view when pouring coffee (C) into the glass shown in FIG. 1. Because coffee is black, when user pour coffee (C) higher than the printing of the word “milk” (3), which is printed in black, the printing of the word “milk” (3) will assimilate with the color of the coffee (C) and become invisible. But if user pour coffee (C) higher than the printing of the word “coffee” (2), which is white, the word “coffee” becomes more visible.

By doing this, when user pour coffee into glass 1, the word “milk” disappears, and only the word “coffee” remains visible, which means that the display represents the contents. This also brings an interesting moment, with the visual effect of the letters disappearing in the process. At the same time, it allows the content to be displayed without applying any external force.

FIG. 4 is a front view when pouring coffee milk (CM) into the glass 1 of FIG. 1. Coffee milk (CM) has been poured into glass 1, but since coffee milk (CM) is a light brown color, neither printing (2) nor printing (3) assimilates. In other words, the words “coffee milk” are displayed.

In this way, when user pour coffee milk into glass 1, the words “coffee milk” become visible, which means that the display represents the contents. This also brings an interesting moment, with the visual effect of the letters disappearing in the process. At the same time, it allows the content to be displayed without applying any external force.

FIGS. 5 to 8 describe the characters “coffee milk” (hyL) in traditional Chinese characters on the glasses shown in FIGS. 1 to 4. Because the effects are the same as those of the glasses in FIGS. 1 to 4, the same reference numbers are used, and the explanation is omitted.

FIG. 5 is a front view of another type of glass, glass 11. The glass 11 is in the shape of a mug with a handle, but its structure is the same as the mentioned-above glass, with the word “coffee” printed in white (2) on the glass, slightly above the center of its height, and the word “milk” printed in black (3) on the glass, slightly below the center of its height.

When coffee, milk, coffee milk are poured into glass 11, the word “coffee” and the word “milk” and both letters are visible, Which means that the display represents for the contents, this also bring interesting moment, by the visual effect of the letters disappearing in the process. At the same time, it allows the content to be displayed without applying any external force.

FIG. 6 is a front view of another type of glass (12). This glass 12 is similar to the previously mentioned glass 1, but the printing is different. It has white paint printing (22) of the word “COFFEE” along with an illustration of coffee beans printed in the center of the glass's wall. Additionally, it has black paint printing (32) of the word “MILK” along with an illustration resembling the outline of a milk bottle, which is printed to the left of the central printing (22).

When milk (M), coffee (C), and coffee milk (CM) are poured into a glass like glass 12, you can see, as shown in FIG. 11, the FIG. 32) show the outline of a milk bottle along with the word “MILK,” as shown in FIG. 12, the illustration (22) of coffee beans along with the word “COFFEE,” and as shown in FIG. 13, both the words and illustrations. This means that the display represents for the contents, this also bring interesting moment, by the visual effect of the letters disappearing in the process. At the same time, it allows the content to be displayed without applying any external force.

As mentioned above, with the glass of this invention, when pouring colored liquids, this display represents the contents. This also brings an interesting moment, with the visual effect of the letters disappearing in the process. At the same time, it allows the content to be displayed without applying any external force. In the future, various printing techniques can be employed, including silk printing, UV printing, pad printing, and more. The glass of this invention is not limited to a specific shape. For instance, the printing location can be at the bottom of the container rather than in the center. The container's shape is various, including cups, glasses, wine glasses, pitchers, and others. It can be made of transparent materials such as glass, plastic, acrylic, and more. The combination of two colors for text can include white and black, like milk and coffee, or brown and white, like tea and milk, among others. Additionally, the present invention is not limited to beverage glasses; it can involve containers with three or more colors of printing. Printing can also incorporate gradients, for example, printing a graduated color on a test tube with numbers, allowing the numbers to indicate the pH of the liquid when it changes color due to a reagent's reaction with the liquid. Moreover, in cases where colored alcohol like whiskey is diluted with water, a glass with multiple colors of printing can be used to distinguish the concentration of whiskey, making it suitable as a novelty item.
