Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a beverage cup and saucer that allows the saucer of the
product groups used with saucers and the volumes that keep the beverage to be compatible
with each other for drinking action.
Background of the Invention
[0002] The harmony between the saucer of the product groups used for drinking and the volumes
that keep the beverage, is very important in the focus of the user and the producer.
Because the width of the cup base and the slot width of the saucer (the part where
the cup sits) must be of different sizes. For example; Even if a cup and saucer are
well designed, there may be a dangerous situation for the user due to the difference
between the base size and the slot size.
[0003] The same situation imposes responsibility on the manufacturer. Therefore, the manufacturer
must be sure that his product fulfills its function, and that his product will not
create a dangerous situation.
[0004] Saucers and cups are produced separately due to the necessity of production methods
and skills in product alternatives offered to the user in today's market. While cups
are produced by methods such as "turning press", saucers can be produced by methods
such as "isostatic press". After these products are baked in the oven, they differ
in their shrinkage rates due to their different volumes and sizes.
[0005] The manufacturer has to try many times to solve the problem here. It is obvious that
even millimetric differences in production cause some serious problems.
[0006] For example, the saucer or the cup being narrower or wider than the other, the slipping
of the products during transportation and the spilling of the liquid inside, and the
increase in the possibility of deformations that will prevent the cup from being stable
on the saucer.
[0007] For this reason, the diameter, height and slot of each saucer must be designed separately.
This creates an additional workload.
[0008] Regarding the subject in the utility model application
TR 2014 11955 in the literature, "Invention; It relates to plates used as coasters for serving
water, coffee and tea cups or glasses. In particular, the invention relates to the
fact that it contains a sugar holder and a liquid collection channel to prevent the
sugar left on the rim of the glass from getting wet, to prevent the liquid from sticking
to the bottom of the glass, and to prevent it from dripping out." statements are included.
[0009] In the mentioned application, a coaster is disclosed that prevents the liquid from
sticking to the bottom of the glass in case of liquid spills as a result of the products
slipping on the mats during transportation.
[0010] Again, in the utility model application numbered
TR 2011 09726 in the literature, "Invention; tea cup, coffee cup etc. It is a plate used as a base
for; It is about preventing liquids such as water, tea, coffee accumulated in the
plate from dripping out of the plate by clinging to the bottom of the glass. Provided
that they are produced from glass, porcelain, plastic, metal or any material, ribs
and liquid channels are formed to prevent the liquid from accumulating in the dish
and coming into contact with the glass." statements are included.
[0011] In the application mentioned, a structure is disclosed that prevents the contact
of the liquid with the glass in case of liquid spills as a result of the products
slipping on the mats during transportation.
[0012] Again, in the patent application
TR 2019 13227 in the literature, "Invention, tea, coffee, mug, etc. It is related to the coasters
on which the glasses are positioned during the serving and drinking. The feature of
the invention; it is characterized by the presence of protrusions on the surface where
the glass is positioned within the body of the base, positioning the glass on these
protrusions, and thus, the liquid draining or flowing from the edges of the glass
drains to the bottom of the protrusions without touching the bottom of the glass."
statements are included.
[0013] In the aforementioned application, a coaster is disclosed, which includes a protrusion
that prevents the glasses from contacting the spilled liquid by forming an elevation.
[0014] Due to the disadvantages mentioned above, it was necessary to introduce a new beverage
cup and saucer.
Disclosure of the Invention
[0015] Based on this position of the technique, the aim of the invention is to present a
new beverage cup and saucer that eliminates the existing disadvantages.
[0016] Another aim of the invention is to present a structure that eliminates the need for
different saucers for each cup of different sizes.
[0017] Another aim of the invention is to provide a structure that allows the profitability
rate to be at the maximum level by keeping the product variety at a minimum.
[0018] Another aim of the invention is to present a structure that reduces the workload
since separate trials are not made for each cup and saucer.
[0019] Another aim of the invention is to present a structure in which the production of
cup sets is made suitable for mass production.
[0020] Another aim of the invention is to present a structure that allows the stock cost
to be reduced.
[0021] Another aim of the invention is to present a structure that provides personalized
service to the user, with more than one option, by selling separately (cup and saucer
separately) in the market.
[0022] Another aim of the invention is to provide a more reliable, quality product and customer
satisfaction structure for the customer.

Detailed Description of the Invention
[0025] In this detailed explanation, the innovation that is the subject of the invention
is only explained with examples that will not have any limiting effect for a better
understanding of the subject.
[0026] The invention is a beverage cup (1) and saucer (2) that allow the saucer (2) of the
product groups used as a saucer (2) for the act of drinking and the beverage cup (1)
that keeps the beverage to be compatible with each other characterized in that, comprises
the sitting slot (1.1) formed on the underside of the said beverage cup (1) and which
ensures that the said beverage cup (1) sits on the saucer (2) and remains stable on
it, sitting protuberance (2.1) that helps to grasp the beverage cup (1) by being formed
at the middle of the said saucer (2) in male form, exactly opposite of the said seating
slot (1.1), the ribbed cup base (1.2), which provides a safe sitting by providing
resistance against any external force, thanks to the ribbed structure formed on the
entire base of the said beverage cup (1), and the ribbed saucer surface (2.2) which
is formed on the saucer (2) in such a way as to provide resistance by sitting on the
said ribbed cup base (1.2) and in the same form as the said ribbed cup bottom (1.2).
[0027] In Figure-1 a perspective view of the beverage cup (1) and saucer (2), which is the
subject of the invention, is illustrated.
[0028] In Figure - 2, the cross-sectional detail view of the combination of the beverage
cup (1) and saucer (2), which is the subject of the invention, is illustrated.
[0029] Beverage cup (1) and saucer (2), which is the subject of the invention, consists
the main parts of; the sitting slot (1.1) formed on the underside of the said beverage
cup (1) and which ensures that the said beverage cup (1) sits on the saucer (2) and
remains stable on it, sitting protuberance (2.1) that helps to grasp the beverage
cup (1) by being formed at the middle of the said saucer (2) in male form, exactly
opposite of the said seating slot (1.1), the ribbed cup base (1.2), which provides
a safe sitting by providing resistance against any external force, thanks to the ribbed
structure formed on the entire base of the said beverage cup (1), and the ribbed saucer
surface (2.2) which is formed on the saucer (2) in such a way as to provide resistance
by sitting on the said ribbed cup base (1.2) and in the same form as the said ribbed
cup bottom (1.2).
[0030] On the floor of any beverage cup (1) subject to the invention, the ribbed cup base
(1.2) fits perfectly on the ribbed saucer surface (2.2) formed in the same form on
the saucer (2), which is standardized according to the diameters of the saucer (2)
in the product range. This combination provides resistance against any external force.
[0031] Beverage cups (1) of different sizes can easily sit on the standard size saucer (2)
thanks to the ribbed cup base (1.2). Thus, a different saucer (2) is not needed for
each beverage cup (1).
[0032] Said ribbed cup base (1.2) is expanded in a maximum way in a minimum area, thereby
increasing the contact surface with the saucer (2).
[0033] It offers a safer usage scenario to the user during the act of carrying or drinking.
