Benefits of technology

[0008]An objective of the invention is to provide a drink cup that is convenient for its user to add ice, thereby elongating the keep time of gas in soda and thus maintaining its taste and coldness.
[0009]Another objective of the invention is to provide a drink cup that is recyclable and environment-friendly, avoiding waste of natural resources.
[0010]To achieve the above objectives, the disclosed drink cup includes a lower cup body, an upper cup body, and a lid. The top of the lower cup body has an opening for holding drink and ice cubes. The upper cup body is connected to the lower cup body. Its top part has a bottle opening for its user to drink or a straw to be inserted. The lid closes the bottle opening. One adds a drink or ice via the opening into the lower cup body. After the combination of the upper cup body and the lower cup body, one can directly have the drink via the cup opening or a straw. The addition of ice can elongate the keep time of soda gas. The drink therein can be kept at a better taste and coldness for a longer time. By opening the upper and lower cup bodies, the user can readily clean and reuse them. The invention is recyclable.

Problems solved by technology

However, the bottle opening of a conventional plastic bottle is too narrow for ice cubes to go through.
Even though the user can add ice in this case, the use of paper cups is a waste of recourses.
Both of them cannot be recycled, also a waste of natural resources.
In the latter case, the connection between the lid and the container may not be strong enough and result in leaks.
This is extremely inconvenient.

Abstract

A drink up consists of a lower cup body, an upper cup body, and a lid. The top of the lower cup body has an opening for holding drink and ice. The upper cup body connects to the lower cup body, with a cup opening for drinking or for a straw to be inserted. The lid closes the cup opening. One adds a drink or ice via the opening into the lower cup body. After the combination of the upper cup body and the lower cup body, one can directly have the drink via the cup opening or a straw. The addition of ice can elongate the keep time of soda gas. The drink therein can be kept at a better taste and coldness for a longer time. By opening the upper and lower cup bodies, the user can readily clean and reuse them. The invention is recyclable.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The invention relates to a drink cup and, in particular, to a drink cup that can elongate the keep time of soda gas in order to maintain a better taste and coldness for the soda therein for the longer time. The invention is also recyclable and environment-friendly.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Current drinks on the market are often contained in a plastic bottle, which is an integrally formed bottle 11 as shown in FIG. 1. The bottle 11 has an accommodating space to hold a drink. The upper part of the bottle 11 has a bottle opening 12 for its user to directly enjoy the drink or use a straw to drink.[0005]In practice, one can add ice to soda to reduce the loss of carbon dioxide and thus maintain a higher gas concentration in the drink. The soda in this case has a better taste and coldness. However, the bottle opening of a conventional plastic bottle is too narrow for ice cubes to go through.[0006]Besides, the sofa from a normal so...
