Melamine dinnerware

Abstract

A piece of melamine dinnerware includes an outer body made of melamine resin molding compound and an inner body made of stainless steel. The outer body and the inner body both have a bottom and a circumferential wall to correspond to each other and kept tightly together by an upper flange of the inner body tightly surrounding the upper annular edge of the outer body.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to melamine dinnerware, particularly to one consisting of an outer body made of powder melamine resin molding compound with high temperature and high pressure by means of injecting molding process and an inner body made of stainless steel, then the outer body and the inner body is assembled together tightly to make a piece of melamine dinnerware.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Conventional melamine dinnerware shown in FIG. 1 is made of melamine resin formed with high temperature and high pressure by an injecting molding machine, having only one layer.

[0003] The conventional melamine dinnerware has high-temperature-enduring characteristic, but its also has a comparatively larger capillary holes than that made of metal, and its surface may be liable to be attached with micro dirty matters, and the dirt may become quite hard to be cleaned off after a period of time, resulting to a harassment to users.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] This invention has been devised to offer melamine dinnerware made of two different materials to make it not easily become dirty, and durable for a long period of time.

[0005] The invention has the following features.

[0006] 1. It has an outer body made of melamine resin and an inner body made of stainless steel, having a comparative better visional appearance and easy to wash and clean and not easily become dirty.

[0007] 2. The inner body is made of stainless steel first and then combined in the outer body, easy to make this melamine dinnerware.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] A preferred embodiment of a piece of melamine dinnerware in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, includes an outer body 1 and an inner body 2 combined together.

[0016] The outer body 1 is made of melamine resin molding compound in powder condition with high temperature and high pressure by means of injecting molding process, having a bottom 10, a circumferential wall 11 extending upward and gradually outward, and an upper annular edge 12 with its curved outer face 120.

[0017] The inner body 2 is made of stainless steel, having a bottom 20 to correspond to the bottom 10 of the outer body 1, and a circumferential wall 21 to correspond to the circumferential wall 11 of the outer wall 1, and an upper flange 22 with a little straight end 220 as shown in FIG. 2 and 3, before the inner body 2 is combined with the outer body 1.

[0018] Then the inner body 2 is to be combined together by placing it in the outer body 1 with the upper flange 22 resting on the upper annular edge 12 of the outer body 11. After that, the little straight end 220 is bent to surround tightly the upper annular edge 12 with the cured outer face 120, finishing assembling the outer body 1 with the inner body securely, keeping the inner body 2 from separating from the outer body 1.

[0019] Further, the outer body 1 made of melamine resin can be formed with some design on its outer surface to embellish the appearance to look attractive for would-be buyers, with the inner body 2 made of stainless steel easy to wash and not easily attached with micro dirty matters

[0020] While the preferred embodiment of the invention has been described above, it will be recognized and understood that various modifications may be made therein and the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications that may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Claims

What is claimed is:

1. A piece of melamine dinnerware comprising: an outer body made of melamine resin molding compound and having a bottom, a circumferential wall extending from said bottom upward and gradually outward to form an upper annular edge: an inner body made of stainless steel and having a bottom to correspond to the bottom of said outer body, a circumferential wall extending from the bottom to correspond to the circumferential wall of said outer body and formed with an upper flange; said inner body placed in the outer surface with the upper flange resting on the upper annular edge of the outer body, said upper flange of said inner body bent to surround the upper annular edge tightly to keep said inner body from separating from said outer body.

2. The piece of melamine dinnerware as claimed in claim 1, wherein said inner body has said upper flange provided with a bit straight end before said inner body is assembled with said outer body.
