Patent Application
20220125226
This utility model is involved in the technical field of articles for daily uses, especially involved with one kind of multifunctional flexibly transformable cup.
In daily life, cups are often used to hold red wine, beverages and water when people drink. Most of the cups in the prior art are made of glass or crystal material, which has great defects. On account of the glass or crystal cup is easy to break and fragile, and hurts human skin and is not easy to store. Even if the existing plastic cup is alternatively used, the existing plastic cup has a single function and is relatively hard, and can only be used as a cup alone.
With the development and advancement of society, wines are favoured by more and more consumers. Nowadays, red wines will be drunk in parties held in a banquet, dining hall or home. Containers used for drinking red wines are basically red wine goblets with a foot and a stem. Whenever people are drinking red wines, firstly, ordinary glasses or crystal goblets are hard to be placed or kept. They are high in costs and poor in stability, liable to be smashed if any cup fell down from a height. Chips splashed after a goblet was smashed may scratch someone; secondly, after any wine is uncorked, if it is not drunk off, the former cork cannot be inserted back and there isn't any suitable cork, the taste of wine will be greatly reduced during drinking at next time; thirdly, many wine lovers prefer directly enjoy wine in bottle to repeatedly pouring and using wineglasses that containing wine.
Contents of Utility Model
This Utility model is aimed at providing one kind of multifunctional flexibly-transformable cup in order to solve issues presented under above technical background.
To achieve above objectives, this utility model provides a technical proposal as follows: it is one kind of multifunctional flexibly-transformable cup; it comprises one internally cut-through transformable cup and a nested bottom plug that is sealed and clamped with the transformable cup body. The above-mentioned transformable cup includes a foldable enclosure and pin that are successively cut-through and flexibly and tightly connected. The aforesaid seal clamp for embedded bottom plug is located at the junction between the foldable enclosure and pin. An effective seal can be formed at the junction between the foldable enclosure and pin after the embedded bottom plug is inserted into the junction.
As an optimum, the stated pin is comprises of a transition zone of deformation with a cut-through and flexible tight coupling and a gradually-varied pin. The stated transition zone of deformation is connected with the stated foldable enclosure.
Furthermore, the outer edge of the pin is provided with a seal layer. Food-grade flexible silicone materials shall preferably be used for pin and seal layer.
Furthermore, the stated embedded bottom plug includes a plug cover and a plug for rigid connection. The seal clamp of plug for the stated embedded bottom plug is located at the junction between the foldable enclosure and pin. The cross-section of plug is gradually-varied, and can form a tight connection at the junction.
As an optimum, the stated foldable enclosure is a flexible cup-shaped body with an opening. It is further optimized to a food-grade flexible silicone cup with an opening at its bottom.
As an optimum, the stated transition zone of deformation is circle-shaped. Purposes of the transition zone of deformation: firstly, it can effectively and smoothly connect the gradually-varied pin and foldable enclosure, thus facilitate folding the foldable enclosure; secondly, a stable pedestal can be formed after the foldable enclosure folded, then it will become firmer during utilization; thirdly, after inserting the embedded bottom plug into the junction, the plug cover will be matching with the transition zone of deformation, and a better sealability can be achieved.
As an optimum, the stated gradually-varied pin is funnel-shaped. Whenever the funnel-shaped gradually-varied pin is inserted in to the winebottle neck for drinking, its sealability for matching with the bottleneck will be better.
As an optimum, the stated seal layer is a food-grade flexible silicone threaded layer.
Furthermore, the stated plug cover is provided with a twisting part. The stated turning part includes a turning groove opened on the plug cover and a projected column on the plug cover, etc. It is convenient for users to turning the plug cover. The stated plug is shaped as a circular table. Whenever such plug is used together with the gradually-varied funnel-like pin, its sealability will be better.
Furthermore, the stated transformable cup is integrally formed; the stated transformable cup is made of a food-grade flexible silicone; the stated embedded bottom plug is a food-grade flexible silicone cup; the stated foldable enclosure is an enclosure made of food-grade flexible silicone.
In comparison with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: during application of this utility model for multifunctional flexibly transformable cups, the foldable enclosure can be freely folded. It is completely made of food-grade flexible silicone. It is safe and assured. It is hard to be smashed into pieces. It can also be used as the wine cup (or a water cup, beverage cup, etc.), bottle stopper and the bottleneck inserted into the wine bottle that can be directly used for drainage of fluid. It can also be connected with wine bottle for use, with complete functions.
