Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the food and beverage industry.
  • cup extender which is fitted into the open end of the cup during preparation and removed for presentation of the blend to the customer.
  • cup extender is a stainless steel annulus having a lower portion which is adapted to fit snugly into the upper volume of the cup and an upper portion dimensioned to capture/block splatter from the mixer in use. This form of cup extender is known to work well.
  • disposable cup extenders which are the equivalent of the sidewall portion of a disposable beverage cup, i.e. a disposable cup minus the disc-shaped bottom.
  • a shield for use with a cup forms one aspect of the invention.
  • the shield comprises a tubular member having first and second open ends, the first end, in use, being disposed in close-fitting relation within the open end of said cup and the second end, in use, projecting out of said cup.
  • the tubular member can be constructed out of sheet material and have at least two axes for permitting said tubular member to fold into a flattened condition.
  • the tubular member can be constructed out of a compostable material.
  • the tubular member can be constructed solely out of sheet material secured upon itself.
  • the tubular member can be constructed out of a recyclable plastic material.
  • the tubular member can be constructed out of a biodegradable material.
  • the tubular member can be constructed out of a die cut sheet having ends adapted to mechanically connect with one another to define said tubular member.
  • the first and second open ends can be of unequal cross-sectional dimensions.
  • the tubular member can De frustoconical and taper in width from its second to first open end.
  • the edge of said tubular member which defines the second end opening can be convex and the edge of said tubular member which defines the first end opening can be concave.
  • the tubular member can be constructed from food grade materials.
  • the tubular member can be constructed from fibrous material, the fibrous material can comprise cellulosic material and the fibrous material can comprise fibers selected from the group consisting of cotton, hemp, straw, kenaf, sugar cane, corn stalk, flax, jute, coconut husk, coir, sisal and bagasse.
  • the tubular member can be constructed from 12 pt. solid bleached sulfite.
  • the tubular member can be coated on the inner surface with a water resistant agent.
  • the tubular member can be coated on the outer surface with a water resistant agent.
  • the tubular member in use, can project about 5 cm out of said cup.
  • the tubular member can be dimensioned such that, in normal use, the portion thereof projecting out of the cup captures substantially all of the splatter produced in the creation of a blended product, and the blended product can be soft serve.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a shield constructed according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGURE 2 is top view of the shield of FIGURE 1 ;
  • FIGURE 3 is a side view of the shield of FIGURE 1 , in a flattened condition
  • FIGURE 2 is a perspective view of the shield of FIGURE 1 , in use with a cup.
  • a shield is illustrated, and is designated by the general reference numeral 20.
  • the shield 20 illustrated is constructed from sheet material 22 secured upon itself to form a tubular member having first 24 and second 26 open ends and two axes A-A and B-B.
  • the tubular member is frustoconical and tapers in width from its second 26 to first 24 open end, such that the first 24 and second 26 open ends are of unequal cross- sectional dimensions.
  • the sheet material 22 is a compostable, biodegradable, food grade, cellulosic material, namely, 12 pt. solid bleached sulfite (SBS), secured to itself by a compostable, biodegradable, food grade adhesive, and coated on both sides with a compostable, biodegradable, food grade, water resistant agent such that the inner 28 and outer 30 surfaces of the tubular member are so coated,
  • SBS solid bleached sulfite
  • the axes A-A and B-B permit the tubular member to fold into a flattened condition, as shown in FIGURE 3, where it is seen that the edge 32 of said tubular member which defines the second end 26 opening is convex and the edge 34 of said tubular member which defines the first end 24 opening is concave.
  • the shield 20 in shown in use with a cup 36 in FIGURE 4, wherein it will be seen that the first end 24 is disposed in close-fitting, snug, relation within the open end of said cup 36 and the second end 26 projects about 5cm out of said cup 36 such that, in normal use, the portion thereof projecting out of the cup 36 captures substantially all of the splatter produced in the creation of a blended soft serve product (blended in a conventional manner).
  • the shield can be disposed of, preferably for composting.
  • the word "cup" is used consistently.
  • cup need not refer to vessels sometimes used for containing liquids, but rather, throughout this description and amended claims, refers to an open-topped vessel which has the general appearance of a cup, even if such vessel is only used for containing non-liquid substances, such as soft serve.
  • the shield can be manufactured using the principles of the process described in United States Patent No. 6,863,644, which is incorporated herein by reference and basically describes a process whereby sheet material is die cut, folded and adhesively secured to form a tubular element.
  • materials other than SBS can be utilized for the construction of the tubular member, such as other sheet materials made from fibres including cotton, rice, hemp, straw, kenaf, sugar cane, corn stalk, flax, jute, coir, sisal and bagasse.
  • food grade plastics including recyclable plastics, could be utilized.
  • materials of weight greater or lesser than 12pt. can be used, and indeed, the weight/thickness of the material used will vary depending upon the physical properties of the material actually employed in the creation of the shield. Indeed, the shield itself need not be constructed out of sheet material and could, for example, potentially be press-formed out of particulate matter, molded, etc.
  • the described shield is constructed out of biodegradable, compostable material, materials lacking such characteristics could be used, but would not be preferred.
  • the illustrated shield tapers, it will be understood that it need not, and will preferably be adapted to the shape of the cup with which it is to be used, so as to (i) fit snugly in the upper end of the cup so as to facilitate handling during preparation and blending; and (ii) project a sufficient distance above the upper end to effectively capture spatter without impeding blending.
  • tubular member could also be constructed of a die cut sheet having ends adapted to mechanically connect with one another to define said tubular member.
  • the mechanical engagement could be provided, for example, by (i) a single hook at one end of the die cut sheet adapted to engage a notch in the other end, in a manner analogous to the closures commonly found on cake boxes or the like; (ii) a hook formed at each end of the die cut sheet adapted to engage with one another; or (iii) other variations.
  • the shield could be used for other products, such as frappucino.
  • the mechanical properties of the material from which the shield is constructed may need to be adjusted. Such adjustment would be a matter of routine pt persons of ordinary skill in the art and thus is not described herein.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un capot protecteur utilisable avec un bol et comprenant un élément tubulaire comportant une première et une seconde extrémité ouverte, la première extrémité étant disposée, lors de l'utilisation, de façon à être étroitement emboîtée à l'intérieur de l'extrémité ouverte dudit bol et la seconde extrémité faisant saillie, lors de l'utilisation, hors dudit bol. L'élément tubulaire peut comporter au moins deux axes lui permettant d'être replié sous une forme aplatie et il peut être constitué d'un matériau compostable, d'un matériau en nappe fixé sur ledit élément tubulaire, d'un matériau en plastique recyclable ou d'un matériau biodégradable. L'élément tubulaire peut être dimensionné de façon à ce que, lors d'une utilisation normale, la partie de celui-ci faisant saillie hors du bol emprisonne pratiquement toutes les éclaboussures générées lors de la production d'un produit mixé de texture molle prêt à servir.
