CONTAINER FOR HOLDING AT LEAST TWO BEVERAGES

Abstract

The subject application is a container having a first body with a female union (joint), a second body with a male union (joint) and a lid, which, once assembled under manual pressure, packages the bodies within the same container for holding at least two beverages separate from one another for utilization thereof by a consumer.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a container for holding beverages, the main features being that it can be assembled and disassembled, and that it can be put together and/or assembled in two equal vertical parts mainly due to its mechanism of joining under pressure to be explained later, achieving an excellent form of dividing beverages at the moment of utilization by the consumer.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Within the human environment, the consumer has endeavored to find how to obtain an effective use for the different types of packaging containing beverages, and how to be able to differentiate between the wide variety of these containers on the market, but it has not unfortunately been possible to meet customer needs since only complete beverage containers forming a single unit exist, failing to comply with the usability and efficiency which can only be obtained from a container which can be disassembled to divide beverages. I therefore present a new, more advanced, efficient proposal, different from that of already-known containers, which is characterized principally by its special form and configuration which give the beverage container a special and distinctive nature for the storage and division of different types of beverages in the same easily assembled and disassembled container.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a container for holding beverages, which is adapted to be assembled and disassembled by means of a union under manual pressure, with the container having separate bodies each of which holds a separate beverage in the same container and provides the consumer with a broader, more effective and entertaining function as compared with the different, already familiar beverage containers.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In order to have a better understanding of the characteristics of the present invention and to complement the description given, attached hereto as a integral part hereof are drawings of an illustrative nature but without limitation, representing the following:

1) FIG. 1.—Shows the assembled container in its entirety, as a whole and from the front.

2) FIG. 2.—Shows the unassembled container in its three parts, as a whole and from the front.

3) FIG. 3.—Shows the manner of joining the left side of the container to the right side, viewed from the front.

4) FIG. 4.—Shows the assembled container without a lid, where one can appreciate the internal division of the container as a whole and from the front.

5) FIG. 5.—Shows the lid of the container as a whole and from the front.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 shows the container of the invention as a whole, showing a container (1) preferably called a yard, consisting of a long hollow left body, (2), a long hollow right body (3) and an upper lid (8)1 where the left body (2) consisting of a female part (5) with a vertical section, which may represent a depression in the wall of the left body and which is substantially larger than a male section (4) which may represent an extension of the body on the right side (3) of the container, in such a way that the male part (4) can be introduced in the section corresponding to female part (5) thus achieving a firm coupling between both bodies which, once assembled, will have an internal division (7) dividing beverages, not shown separately held within the hollow cavity of each body and with the left and right body being duly covered by a lid (8).

Equally, experts on the subject can vary the configuration of the container (1) of FIG. 1, which can be transparent or colored or the configuration changed to that of a pilsner.

FIG. 2 shows the completely disassembled container in detail, showing clearly see the left body (2) of the container with its female part (5), the right body (3) with its male part (4) and a lid (8).

FIG. 3 shows in detail the manner of joining (6) between the left body (2) and the right body (3), where the female part (5) has a vertical section substantially larger than that of the male part (4), in such a way that the male part (4) can be introduced in the corresponding section of the female part (5) by applying manual pressure for achieving a firm coupling between both bodies in such a way that the bodies, in the process of being joined, show no unevenness in their external diameters.

FIG. 4 shows the left body in detail (2) duly joined (6) to the right body (3), thus conforming the assembled container (1) where the internal division (7) of the container (1) can be clearly seen to separate the beverages placed inside same when assembled to the lid (8),

FIG. 5 shows the lid (8) of the container in detail, this being circular in shape, having a diameter larger than the upper part of the container (1) and with two holes for the insertion of straws.

As regards the mechanism, one can see, in FIG. 2, that the container of the invention can be transported unassembled, which facilitates the issue of storage space since equal sections can be packed together, more containers transported and, in turn, occupy a minimum of storage space, so that at the moment this is required, any person can easily assemble the container for immediate use,

Claims

1) Container of yard type for holding at least two beverages separated from one another comprising at least three elements including an elongated and hollow first body having a union; an elongated and hollow second body having a joining part for coupling the union; and a lid to cover the bodies once joined together, wherein the second body includes a male part having a vertical section of a certain height and wherein the first body includes a female part with a vertical section substantially larger than the vertical section of the male part so that the vertical section of the male part can be introduced in the vertical section of the female part to achieve a firm coupling, which joins the bodies together with no unevenness on their exterior surfaces when the bodies are assembled to the lid and which can be readily disassembled.

2) Container of yard type in accordance with claim 1, wherein the joining part of the second body is a coupling for joining the first body under pressure.

3) Container of the yard type in accordance with reinstatement claim 1, wherein the female part with a vertical section substantially larger than the is sized relative to the size of the male part, in such a way that the latter can be introduced in the corresponding section to the female part, achieving a firm coupling and providing such that, when assembled under pressure, the bodies interlock to provide sufficient stiffness to the container in during use.

4) Container of the yard type in accordance with claim 1, wherein the lid is circular in shape and the container has an upper part to accommodate the lid with the lid including two holes for the insertion of straws.

5) Container of the yard type in accordance with claim 1, wherein the container is transparent or colored.

6) Container of the yard type in accordance with claim 1, wherein the container is of a plastic composition.

7) Container of the yard type in accordance with claim 1, wherein the container has a shape conforming to a yard or a pilsner.
