Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cup which remains closed outside of its use by a user and which allows the user to consume the liquid or the drink contained in said cup by taking the mouthpiece without having to suck up the liquid.
  • the cup according to the invention can contain a drink prepared in advance or makes it possible to prepare a drink on site. It can be used in a state of gravity, on earth, but it is particularly suitable for use in a state of weightlessness, more particularly, for the preparation of a drink on board a spacecraft.
  • EP-A-0 326 743 describes a container provided with a spout capable of being taken into the mouth by the user, the spout being flexible and being provided at its end with a valve opening by pinching the spout.
  • the present invention provides a cup, which allows, in a weightless state, to drink without having to suck or exert a force on the container containing the liquid and, which allows to prepare on the spot drinks without foaming.
  • the closed cup according to the invention allows drinking without risk of spilling the liquid and without having to suck up the drink, which is advantageous, for example, in the case of bedridden patients.
  • the present invention therefore relates to a closed cup which is characterized by the characteristics indicated in the second part of claim 1.
  • the cup according to the invention comprising a refill
  • the drink he wishes (such as: coffee, tea, chocolate or fruit juice); it engages the refill on the nozzle and assembles them so that communication is established between the nozzle and the refill; it then introduces into the container a determined quantity of hot or cold water via the water supply valve.
  • the container increases in volume.
  • the astronaut grips the cup by the gripping device; it takes the mouthpiece spout in the mouth and clamps it with the lips or teeth, which opens by deformation the flexible valve placed at the end of the spout.
  • the liquid then leaves the cup, thanks to the pressure exerted elastically by the walls of the container, without the user having to suck the liquid or to press on the container with the hands to make the liquid come out.
  • the astronaut can therefore drink a drink prepared on board, using practically the same gestures as on land. When he has finished drinking, the astronaut separates the tip from the refill, discards the refill and subjects the tip to washing.
  • the base is preferably constituted by a rigid piece formed by two equal half-discs located in two parallel planes spaced from one another, the two half-discs being connected to each other, firstly, by a wall situated along the diameters which limit them in a plane perpendicular to their plane, and, secondly, by a shell connected to the periphery of the two half-discs which constitute its base, the edge of the shell forming a point of the side of the spout, the gripping device being formed on said shell.
  • the gripping device is preferably arranged on one side or the other of the shell relative to the plane of the wall.
  • the spout made of flexible material preferably has a point curved towards the axis of the cup, and partially connected to the edge of the shell by a veil of flexible material of concave shape, the shell having the approximate shape of a spherical cap.
  • a flexible material conduit preferably connects the flexible valve of the spout to the first means of passage of the liquid from the refill to the nozzle.
  • the rigid cover of the refill preferably comprises two equal parallel half-discs interconnected, firstly, along the diameters which limit them, by a wall which is perpendicular to them and, secondly, by a cylindrical skirt which is connected to the periphery of the two half-discs.
  • the container is advantageously fixed on the skirt.
  • the means for passing the liquid are constituted for the first means by a small tube arranged perpendicular to one of the perpendicular walls and passing through said wall and, for the second means by an opening formed in the other perpendicular wall by an opening formed in the wall, the two means cooperating in substantially sealed manner.
  • the second passage means is associated with a valve, which is open and kept open by cooperation with the first passage means.
  • the first passage means is a small tube and the complementary means an opening, it is the end of the small tube which opens and keeps the valve open. This prevents the liquid e contained in the refill from spreading when the user separates the refill from the tip. In fact, for example when the small tube is taken out of the opening, the valve closes and it is avoided that the liquid contained in the refill spills out when the user has not emptied said refill.
  • the refill is fixed to the end piece, as explained above using two complementary elements, one arranged on the base, the other on the cover.
  • the fixing means can be constituted by a throat-bead system. This fixing means also serves as a guide during the assembly of the cup.
  • the unit occupies a small volume allowing all the operations of storage of refills, filling of the cup, washing of the nozzle and storage of the nozzle.
  • this cup requires, in fact, a number of operations.
  • a refill When the user wishes to drink, he chooses a refill. It must therefore be stored in an easily accessible manner. He then takes a nozzle which must also be easily accessible. He then snaps the tip onto the refill and fills the cup. It is therefore necessary to have a cup filling installation.
  • the user When the user has finished drinking, he separates the mouthpiece from the refill. The nozzle must then be washed and stored after washing so that it can be used again. This use is, in particular carried out in a state of weightlessness on board a spacecraft.
  • the cabinet preferably has an area with stacked compartments for storing refills. It also advantageously includes a storage area for at least one endpiece.
  • the filling zone comprises two reservoirs and two cavities, a first reservoir being provided for cold water and communicating with a first cavity and a second reservoir being provided for hot water and corresponding to a second cavity.
  • the imprint advantageously has the shape of an oval cap corresponding to the shape of the cup after expansion of the container.
  • the device capable of cooperating tightly with the non-return valve for supplying water to the refill is advantageously constituted by a tube provided with a protective ring and connected to a valve, the insertion of the ring protection causing the valve to open.
  • the filling zone comprises a device for measuring the quantity of liquid dispensed, making it possible to dispense a determined quantity of liquid.
  • This device allows, for example to introduce 10 cl or 20 cl of liquid into the container. It is preferably associated with an indicator light, which alerts the user to the end of the distribution.
  • the front face of the filling zone advantageously carries four buttons on which the user presses to obtain, for example 10 cl or 20 cl, of cold or hot water.
  • the washing zone preferably comprises at least one base having a shape complementary to that of the surface of the rigid base of the nozzle and a device capable of cooperating with the means for passing the liquid towards the nozzle for injecting a washing liquid in the nozzle and to suck it up, so as to wash the inside of the nozzle.
  • the base complementary to the assembly surface of the rigid base of the nozzle is advantageously provided with a magnet or a metal part which cooperates with a corresponding magnet disposed on the rigid surface of the end piece so as to fix the end piece on the base.
  • This washing area is preferably capable of being sealed by a door, so that the exterior surface of the nozzle can be washed as in an ordinary dishwasher.
  • the tip storage area preferably includes at least one rack, the bottom of which has a shape complementary to that of the assembly surface of the rigid base of the tip.
  • the cup shown in Figures 1 to 8 is designated as a whole by the reference 1. It consists of a tip 2 and a refill 3.
  • the tip 2 consists of a rigid base 4 and a spout 5 of flexible material and the refill 3 is formed of a rigid cover 6 and of a container 7 of flexible material having a structure accordion.

  • the shell 11 is a tip 11a disposed in a diametral plane of the cup through the end of the spout 5 and is connected by a notch to a point low 11s disposed in the same diametral plane as the tip 11 a.
  • a notch 12, made on the right, allows the user to grasp the cup with a finger.
  • the spout 5 projects beyond the shell 11; its end 5 a is provided with an opening and it is situated on the longitudinal axis of the cup 1.
  • the spout 5 is connected by curved surfaces to the edge of the shell 11, the lower surface connecting it to the lower part of the shell being a concave veil 5 b .
  • This tube 13 constitutes one of the means of the device for passing the liquid from the refill to the nozzle.
  • the tube 13 is connected to a non-return valve 14 allowing only the passage of the liquid in the refill-tip direction.
  • the valve 14 is itself connected to a conduit of flexible material 15 which opens into the opening 5a of the spout 5.
  • a valve 16 At the end of the conduit 15 in the vicinity of the opening 5a of the spout is inserted a valve 16.
  • This valve 16 is constituted by two coaxial tubes: the internal tube is closed at its end and is split obliquely in the vicinity of this end; the outer tube is the conduit 15 itself.
  • the cover of the refill 3 is constituted by a part 17 formed by two half-discs 17 a and 17 b of the same dimension located in parallel planes and connected by a perpendicular wall 17 c , the lower surface of the part 17 constituting the assembly surface of the refill.
  • an opening 18 of diameter such that the tube 13 can penetrate it.

  • the latter having an elasticity due to its construction material and a structural elasticity, tends to return to its initial shape and expel the drink towards the top of refill 3, until it reaches the tube 13.
  • the drink then causes the valve 14 to open and can go up to the spout 5.
  • the astronaut When the astronaut has finished drinking, he separates the nozzle 2 from the refill 3. He thus releases the tube 13 from the valve 19 which closes, and from the opening 18. The tube 13 being released, the valve 14 does not is no longer subject to a pressure difference and closes. Under these conditions, the refill 3 and the nozzle 2 are closed and the liquid which they can contain cannot spill. The astronaut then throws the refill 3 and introduces the nozzle 2 into the washing zone 1O4 of the combined piece of furniture 1OO. The astronaut has the tip 2 on the base 112, the magnet 9 of the tip attaching to the magnet 113. He simultaneously pushes the tube 13 of the tip into the valve 114. He closes the door 111 and he starts the washing device from the inside of the nozzle 2 and the washing device from the outside of the nozzle 2.
  • the device for washing the inside of the nozzle allows a water injection to be carried out through the valve 114 and a suction to evacuate the waste water.
