Stacking cup cap

Abstract

A stacking cup cap aims to cover a cup body which includes a cup top rim and a cup bottom side. The stacking cup cap includes a closing cap anchored on the cup top rim, a sealing lid connected to the closing cap and remote from the cup top rim and a drinking orifice. The sealing lid includes an indented stacking space to hold another cup body. The cup bottom side of another cup body is formed at a size mating the stacking space. The drinking orifice is located on the sealing lid corresponding to the stacking space to be covered by another cup body. Thus, through the stacking space a plurality of cup bodies can be stacked over one another at greater stability. After stacking the drinking orifice does not form direct communication with the exterior, hence can resolve the problem of dust contamination.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a cup cap and particularly to a stacking cup cap.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Disposable beverage cup is one of handy items used frequently by many people nowadays. Taiwan patent No. M446764 disclosed a “One time usage cup cap for two people” which includes a cup cap, a cup opening located on the cup cap and a concentric recess for stacking other paper cups. The cup opening is located outside the concentric recess at an edge of the cup cap. After beverage is filled in a cup, the cup cap can be added for sealing. However, its cup opening is open and communicates with the exterior, and the beverage cup is not fully isolated from the exterior. Dust easily drops into the beverage cup that creates annoying problems to users. In addition, in the event that a user buys multiple servings of beverage multiple beverage cups and cup caps have to be stacked over one another to facilitate carrying by the user. The up and down stack...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The primary goal of this invention is to improve the stability and prevent dust contamination in beverage cups. The solution is to locate the drinking orifice on the top holding portion of the cup, which maximizes the area for stacking and reduces the risk of dust dropping into the cup. When multiple cups are stacked, the drinking orifice is covered by another cup, reducing contact with the exterior and further reducing the issue of dust contamination.

Problems solved by technology

However, its cup opening is open and communicates with the exterior, and the beverage cup is not fully isolated from the exterior.

Dust easily drops into the beverage cup that creates annoying problems to users.

As a result, the multiple beverage cups that stack over one another are unstable and prone to toppling down.

Moreover, when a plurality of beverage cups are stacked over one another the pouch that holds the beverage cups could be easily swayed or incidental impact by users could take place that could incidentally open the movable element that originally covers the drinking orifice.

As a result, when the cups are sent to users' hands the dislocated movable element could make users wondering whether the beverage contained in the cup was already being consumed.

This could create unnecessary concerns.
