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.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 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
[0002] 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
[0003] 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
[0004] 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:
[0005] 1) FIG. 1.--Shows the assembled container in its entirety,
as a whole and from the front.
[0006] 2) FIG. 2.--Shows the unassembled container in its three
parts, as a whole and from the front.
[0007] 3) FIG. 3.--Shows the manner of joining the left side of the
container to the right side, viewed from the front.
[0008] 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.
[0009] 5) FIG. 5.--Shows the lid of the container as a whole and
from the front.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] 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).
[0011] 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.
[0012] 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).
[0013] 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.
[0014] 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),
[0015] 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.
[0016] 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,
