CUP CONTAINER
A cup container includes a container body and a transparent cover layer that are formed by injection. The container body has an indented pattern formed on an outer wall thereof The pattern includes at least one first concave surface and one second concave surface at different depths. The transparent cover layer encases the container body and fills the pattern. As the second concave surface is indented on the first concave surface, a stepped structure is formed on the outer wall of the container body to become a three-dimensional pattern. Moreover, with the container body and transparent cover layer formed in varying color combinations, a colorful and multi-layer three-dimensional visual effect can be created to enhance aesthetic appeal and quality, thereby increase consumers' purchase desire.
The present invention relates to a container and particularly to a cup container with three-dimensional pattern.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONPlastic cups have many advantages, such as easy production, cheap prices and high applicability, hence are widely used in people's daily life nowadays. In order to enhance the value of cup containers, many producers try to provide various designs in style, profile and color to increase the visual appeal of the cup containers. Most of those designs form patterns on the cup surface by printing, enameling or bonding stickers. However, after used for a period of time, the patterns could be faded away or peeled off. Moreover, they are Is merely graphic design without quality value or distinguishable identification.
To remedy the aforesaid drawbacks, some producers have provided a cup container with a double-layer wall, as shown in
Therefore the primary object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of lack of three-dimensional effect and drawback in use of the conventional cup containers by providing an improved cup container that has a multi-layer pattern to enhance three-dimensional aesthetic appeal.
To achieve the foregoing object, the cup container of the invention includes a container body and a transparent cover layer. The container body is formed by injection with an opening at the top end and an outer wall with an indented pattern formed thereon. The pattern includes at least one first concave surface and a second concave surface indented on the first concave surface to form a stepped structure on the outer wall of the container body. The transparent cover layer also is formed by injection to encase the container body and fill the pattern. In addition, the container body and transparent cover layer contain respectively at least one color.
By means of the aforesaid technique, the invention provides many advantages, notably: with the indented pattern formed on the outer wall of the container body, and the first and second concave surfaces of the pattern collaborated with color, a multi-layer three-dimensional aesthetic appeal is presented. Moreover, the container body and transparent cover layer can be made in different colors to create even more colorful and diversified visual effect to enhance quality value, thereby increase consumers' purchase desire.
The foregoing, as well as additional objects, features and advantages of the invention will be more readily apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
