Abstract
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention is directed to reconfigurable graphics associated with a beverage dispenser, and more specifically to rotating ring graphics for a beverage dispenser that may be selectively manipulated to change the appearance of the beverage dispenser.
- 2. Background of the Invention
- Manipulation of graphics is well known in the art and has been the focus of such toys as Rubik's cube and other games where graphics plays a role in aligning random configurations. More specifically, typical screen savers displayed on computer monitors provide insight into the attention drawn to changing graphics and images. However, such manipulation of graphics has not generally been frequently adapted for functional items such as beverage dispensers.
- The present invention is directed to reconfigurable graphics associated with a beverage dispenser, and more specifically to rotating ring graphics for a beverage dispenser that may be selectively manipulated to change the appearance of the beverage dispenser. The rotating ring graphics are adapted to be reconfigurable to provide a multitude of different images available from the multitudes of different positions possible. As will be discussed in more detail below, the rotating ring graphics are discussed with respect to an exemplary embodiment for use in a child's sippy cup.
- The rotating ring graphics of the present invention comprise at least one resilient ring that is repositionable about a beverage dispenser to provide a multitude of images. The ring and the dispenser may include graphics that are adapted to correspond with each other to relay a particular message or design, only to be reconfigurable to display another message or design. For example, the dispenser may include the heads and below waist features of various animated characters, with the rotating ring including the chest features of such animated characters. The child may then rotate the ring to make silly new animated characters.

FIGS. 1-3 , an exemplarysippy cup 10 in accordance with the present invention includes alid 12 having aspout 14 from which a child may withdrawal liquid therefrom. Thelid 12 is coupled to acontainer 16 utilizing techniques known to those of ordinary skill to fluidically seal the liquid therein, such as, without limitation, threaded seals. - The overall shape of the
container 16 is one resembling an hourglass to facilitate grasping by a child. Ataper 18 from the top of thecontainer 16 flows gradually inward to decrease the internal diameter of thecontainer 16 until reaching thetrough 20, and thereafter the internal diameter of thecontainer 16 increases until reaching thecrest 22. The outer circumference of thecontainer 16 slopes inward until reaching acircumferential base 24. Twocircumferential channels container 16 and are likewise apparent on the inside of the container as inward protruding circumferential mounds mirroring the topography of thechannels - Referencing
FIGS. 1-3 , thecircumferential channels rings rings channels container 16. Eachring top flange 34 and abottom flange 36 that ride withincircumferential grooves 38 within thechannels alignment posts 40 are circumferentially distributed about the interiorcircumferential surface 42 of eachring rings channels outer nipple 44 of eachalignment post 40 is adapted to be received within afurrow 46 in the middle of eachchannel alignment post nipples 44 be in contact with thefurrow 46 at any given point along thechannel - Referencing
FIGS. 4 and 5 , thecontainer 16 may include one or morefixed graphics 48 that may or may not correspond directly to one or morerotatable images 50 attributable to the rotatingrings fixed graphics 48 may include portions of a series of animated characters distributed about thecontainer 16. It is preferred that suchfixed graphics 48 be spaced and aligned to account for rotation of one or more of therings fixed graphics 48 is aligned with one of therotatable images 50, the remainder of thefixed graphics 48 will likewise be aligned with correspondingrotatable images 50. However, it is not required that such alignment be perfect or precise. - Above the
first ring 30, a series of animated character heads (optionally including head gear) may be circumferentially distributed about thecontainer 16 to comprise portions of thefixed graphics 48. Thefirst ring 30 itself may includerotatable images 50 comprising segments of animated character torsos having arms or other upper appendages, optionally shown grasping something, such as, without limitation, a flag, a star, a rainbow, etc. Themiddle section 52 interposing thefirst ring 30 andsecond ring 32 may include portions of thefixed graphics 48 circumferentially distributed about thecontainer 16 such as, without limitation, the remainder of the animated character torsos. Thesecond ring 32 may includerotatable images 50 such as, without limitation, legs of animated characters shown wearing different pants, such as blue jeans, shorts, baggy pants, etc. Finally, below thesecond ring 32, portions of thefixed graphics 48 may be circumferentially distributed about thecontainer 16 to include, such as, without limitation, animated character shoes or feet, such as, without limitation, roller skates, ice skates, sandals, tennis shoes, army boots, etc. - It is also within the scope of the present invention to provide a single rotating ring or more than two rotating rings mounted to and rotatable about a beverage dispenser. Likewise, it is also within the scope of the present invention to provide channels in which the rotating rings float that are not horizontally aligned. It is further within the scope of the present invention to provide channels not parallel to one another that enable rotation of the rings seated therein about the container. It is still further within the scope of the present invention to provide channels that are adjacent to one another, thereby positioning the rotating rings adjacent to one another, where the rotating rings interlock and slide against one another. It is even further within the scope of the present invention to provide graphics that do not include animated characters and instead include scenery that may be manipulated to provide, such as, without limitation, a different horizon, a different sky condition, etc. It is likewise within the scope of the present invention to provide rotating rings that rotate about the container and rotate about each other, where one or more rings include transparent portions that enable the build-up of images or graphics along a single rotational course, such as without limitation, a first ring that provides a background color, as second ring overriding the first ring that provides outlines of images, and a third ring overriding the second ring that provides specific details to incorporate into the outlined images.
