Description

CROSS-REFERENCE

[0001] This is a division of the co-pending patent application Ser. No. 16/168,802 filed Oct. 23, 2018.

(a) TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present invention relates to an article-placing rack, and especially relates to a hand-held article-placing rack that can hold two cups of beverages or one cup of beverage and a box of food.

(b) DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

[0003] With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the use of cartons to contain and carry the food or articles has long been widely adopted and valued by modern people; in particular, the recycled paper can be used to make cartons.

[0004] By this kind of reusing the paper resources, which can avoid the problem of waste pollution caused by the use of styrofoam, plastic or other material that cannot be recycled.

[0005] The conventional carton structure has only a single use purpose, for example, only using a carton for containing and carrying food or articles.

[0006] However, with the prevalence of various types of beverages, most consumers hold a beverage container in their hands; if consumers take a food carton in one hand and take the beverage container in the other hand, it will cause consumers very inconvenient. Therefore, in order to make it convenient for the consumer to carry the food carton or the beverage container, the merchants use the plastic bag to contain and carry the food carton or the beverage container. As a result, when the plastic bags are used in large quantities, the caused pollution to the environment is relatively increased.

[0007] Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, for the conventional folding heat insulation sleeve 40, which is provided to sleeve and set on the hot drink cup to achieve the anti-scalding function. However, the conventional folding insulated sleeve can only carry a single cup and cannot have other article-carrying function, so there is still a necessity for improvement.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0008] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, the hand-held article-placing rack of the present invention comprises a first article-placing unit having a first accommodating space; a second article-placing unit having a second accommodating space; and a connecting piece which both ends respectively combined with the first article-placing unit and the second article-placing unit; wherein the first article-placing unit and the second article-placing unit are ring-shape to provide two beverage cups to insert and place; or, the first article-placing unit or the second article-placing unit is a polygon shape and has a bottom portion; so as to provide the first article-placing unit or the second article-placing unit to contain and carry food.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] The following descriptions are exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following detailed description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

[0016] The foregoing and other aspects, features, and utilities of the present invention will be best understood from the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Please refer to FIG. 3, a hand-held article-placing rack 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a first article-placing unit 10, a second article-placing unit 20, and a connecting piece 30. The components are respectively described as follows:

[0018] The first article-placing unit 10 has a first accommodating space 11.

[0019] The second article-placing unit 20 has a second accommodating space 21, wherein the first article-placing unit 10 and the second article-placing unit 20 are ring-shape.

[0020] Two first folding lines 12 and two second folding lines 22 are respectively set on two opposite sides of the first article-placing unit 10 and the second article-placing unit 20, and the first article-placing unit 10 and the second article-placing unit 20 can be folded into a flat shape along each of the first folding line 12 and each of the second folding lines 22 for being easy storaged. Both ends of the connecting piece 30 are respectively combined with the first article-placing unit 11 and the second article-placing unit 21.

[0021] Please refer to FIG. 4, the first accommodating space 11 and the second accommodating space 21 respectively provide to insert and place a beverage cup; when the user holds the first article-placing unit 10 in one hand, the connecting piece 30 will naturally abut against the hand, and the second article-placing unit 20 will abut against the back of the hand, whereby the two cups of beverage can be stably held.

[0022] Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, which are the second embodiment of the present invention; the main structure is the same as that of the first embodiment, so the same places will not be further described again. In this embodiment, the first article-placing unit 10 is a ring shape, and the second article-placing unit 20 is a square, rectangle, or polygon shape; in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the second article-placing unit 20 is a shape of a rectangular box and a French fries box; wherein the second article-placing unit 20 has a bottom portion 23; and the bottom portion 23 has at least one third folding line 24, whereby the second article-placing unit 20 can be folded into a flat shape.
