PAPER CUP COVER STRUCTURE
Abstract
A paper cup cover structure, comprising a cup body, being made
of a paper, and comprising a cup opening disposed at a top thereof,
a flat cup rim disposed around an exterior side of the cup opening,
the cup rim having a flat face disposed at an exterior side
thereof; and a cup cover, having a screw magzine circumferentially
disposed at an inner face corresponding to the cup rim so that the
cup rim and the screw magzine are rotationally combined with each
other. In this manner, not only the cup body may more firmly stand
with an assistance of the flat cup rim, the screw magzine may also
rotationally reach a closure with the flat cup rim by stopping the
screw magzine against the flat cup rim, so that the cup cover and
the flat cup rim form a stable closure fixation.

Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a cup cover structure, and
particularly to such structure where a screw magzine of the cup
cover may rotationally form a stable closure with a flat cup rim,
whereby the paper cup is provided with a flater, solid, safe and
enduring structure, and achieves a less leakage and an efficacy of
an easier fixation of the paper cup.
DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
[0002] A conventional paper cup, as shown in FIG. 4, has a
protruding rim 31 disposed circumferentially at an upper end
thereof, which is embeded into an indented groove 41 of a cup cover
4. Presently, all paper cups have their protruding rim 31
presenting a circular side and rolled axis shape, and which has a
weak structural strength. When the cup cover 4 and the cup body 3
are embeded together, the protruding rim 31 of the cup body 3 is
apt to have a deformity, i.e. become flattened and small.
[0003] At this time, between the indented gap 41 of the cup cover 4
and the protruding rim 31 of the cup body 3 has a larger gap,
resulting in that the porotruding rim 31 may not firmly be embeded
into the indented groove 31. Hence, the cup cover 4 is apt to get
loosened, or may not tightly or may only slightly cover the cup
body 3, forming a non-closed state. Out of the closed tate, the
liquid within the cup may overflow, resulting in a conveient use of
the cup and a unsanitary state.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0004] It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to
provide a cup cover structure, where not only a cup body may more
stand firmly by using a flat cup rim when the cup body is combined
with a cup cover, a cup screw magzine of the cup body may also
rotationally reach a closure with the flat cup rim, so that the cup
cover and the flat cup rim form a stable closure fixation, whereby
the cup cover and the cup body are fixed tightly as a single body
and the paper cup is increased in its structural strength and
provided with a flater, solid, safe and enduring structure, and
thus achieves a less leakage and an efficacy of an easier fixation
of the paper cup.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the paper cup cover structure
according to the present invention comprises a cup body, being made
of a paper, and comprising a cup opening disposed at a top thereof,
a flat cup rim disposed around an exterior side of the cup opening,
the cup rim having a flat face disposed at an exterior side
thereof; and a cup cover, having a screw magzine circumferentially
disposed at an inner face corresponding to the cup rim so that the
cup rim and the screw magzine are rotationally combined with each
other.
[0006] In an embodiment, the cup rim is formed by plastic or paper
by frame molding or paper molding.
[0007] In an embodiment, the cup rim has a downward presentation in
a molding and recovers to a horizontal presentation after being
extracted.
BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DRAWINGS
[0008] The present invention will be better understood from the
following detailed descriptions of the preferred embodiments
according to the present invention, taken in conjunction with the
accompanying drawings, in which:
[0009] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an outlook according to a
first embodiment the present invention;
[0010] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an exploded state according
to the first embodiment of the present invention;
[0011] FIG. 3 is an schematic diagram of a use state according to
the first embodiment the present invention; and
[0012] FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a cross sectional state of
a prior art paper cup.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0013] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3, a schematic diagram
of an outlook according to a first embodiment the present
invention, a schematic diagram of an exploded state according to
the first embodiment of the present invention, and an schematic
diagram of a use state according to the first embodiment the
present invention are shown therein, respectively.
[0014] As shown, the cup cover structure of the present invention
comprises a cup body 1 and a cup cover 2.
[0015] The cup body 1 is made of a paper, and comprises a cup
opening 11 and a flat cup rim 12. The cup opening 11 is disposed at
a top of the cup body 1. The flat cup rim 12 is formed around an
exterior side of the cup opening 11 by using a frame molding or a
parpar molding. The cup rim 12 is formed by plastic or paper which
may be biodegraded, and has a flat face 121 which is combined with
the cup cover 2.
[0016] The cup cover 2 has a screw magzine 22 circumferentially
disposed at an inner face thereof, at a place corresponding to the
cup rim 12, so that the cup cover rim may rotationally combined
with the cup rim 12 by using the the screw magzine 22. As such, the
novel paper cup cover structure is formed.
[0017] In fabricating the cup cover structure of the present
invention, the cup rim 12 is formed by plastic or paper by using a
frame modling or a paper molding. The cup rim 12 has a downward
presentation in a molding fixture, but which recovers a horizontal
representation after being extracted from the molding fixture. In
operation, the cup cover 2 may be combiend ontop the cup body 1 as
a closure fixaiton. Not only the cup rim 12 having a flat shaped
structure may reinforce the cup body 1, the screw magzine 22 of the
cup cover 22 may also stop against the flat cup rim 12 of the cup
body 1 when the cup body 1 is combined with the body cover 2, so
that the screw magzine 22 may rotionally form a closure fixation
with the flat cup rim 12. In this manner, the cup covre 2 and the
cup body 1 are tightly fixed as a single body, and the paper cup is
increased in its structural strength and provided with a flater,
solid, safe and enduring structure, and thus achieves a less
leakage and an efficacy of an easier fixation of the cup body
1.
[0018] In summery, the cup cover structure may effectively improve
the demerits of the prior art, where the cup body may stand firmly
as possible as it can by using the flat cup rim when the cup body
is combeind with the cup cover by enabling the screw magzine to
stop against the flat cup rim, so that the screw magzine may
rotationally form a closure fixation with the flat cup rim.
[0019] From all these views, the present invention may be deemed as
being more effective, practical, useful for the consumer's demand,
and thus may meet with the requirements for a patent.
[0020] The above described is merely examples and preferred
embodiments of the present invention, and not exemplified to intend
to limit the present invention. Any modifications and changes
without departing from the scope of the spirit of the present
invention are deemed as within the scope of the present invention.
The scope of the present invention is to be interpreted with the
scope as defined in the claims.
