Definitions

  • the invention relates to a single-wall paper container, and more particularly to a single-wall paper cup with an integrally formed embossed or debossed side wall with improved grip-ability.
  • single-wall containers for use with hot and cold beverages and the like has become increasingly prevalent in connection with both commercial and consumer use.
  • paper-based containers allow more detailed marketing and advertising print than plastic or polystyrene bead foam cups.
  • paper-based containers are readily biodegradable, making them more environmentally friendly than, for example, polystyrene bead foam containers.
  • the present invention provides a single-wall paper container for holding hot or cold beverages.
  • the container has a side wall that is comprised of a single layer of paperboard.
  • the container also has a bottom wall affixed to the side wall such that a liquid receptacle is thereby formed.
  • the bottom wall and side wall both have exterior and interior surfaces.
  • the container also includes a plurality of non-insulating impressed patterns.
  • the impressed patterns are integrally formed (either embossed, debossed, or a combination of both) into the side wall and are observable on the interior and exterior surfaces of the side wall. Furthermore, the impressed patterns are of sufficient depth to provide a non-uniform gripping surface on the side wall of the container.
  • each of the plurality of impressed patterns has an insulating value that is substantially the same as adjacent non-embossed portions of the side wall.
  • the impressed patterns define a plurality of debossed surfaces having a textured substrate adhered thereto.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a paper container according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the paper container shown in FIG. 1 as taken through the line 2-2;
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of another embodiment of a paper container according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the paper container shown in FIG. 3 as taken through the line 4-4;
  • FIG. 5 is a bottom view of the paper container in FIG. 3;
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of another embodiment of a paper container according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the paper container shown in FIG. 6 as taken through the line 6-6;
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective view of another embodiment of a paper container according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the paper container shown in FIG. 8 as taken through the line 9-9;
  • FIG. 10 is a perspective view of another embodiment of a paper container according to the present invention.
  • a liquid-tight container 10 comprising a hollow body having a side wall 12, a bottom wall 14, and an outwardly turned rim 16.
  • the side wall 12 and the bottom wall 14 combine to create a liquid receptacle.
  • the container 10 is preferably a cup having a generally frustoconical configuration.
  • the beverage container 10 can take any geometric form without departing from the present invention.
  • the side wall 12 of the container 10 is comprised of a single layer of paperboard. Both the bottom wall 14 and side wall 12 have an exterior surface and an interior surface.
  • the single layer of paperboard forming the side wall 12 of the container 10 is made from 175 lb./ream paperboard. While it is contemplated that the paperboard may be of any weight suitable for the given use of the container 10, it is preferable the paperboard have a basis weight of between 50 and 400 lbs./ream.
  • the container 10 is preferably made from Mead Westvaco cupstock. However, it is contemplated that the container 10 be made from any grade of paperboard suitable for the application in which the container 10 is used. It is also contemplated that the paperboard cupstock be comprised of recycled or virgin grade paperboard stock
  • the paperboard is single-sided polyethylene coated paper-stock.
  • the polyethylene coating generally provides a barrier to minimize leakage of liquid held within the container 10 through the side wall 12.
  • a double-sided polyethylene paper stock is employed.
  • the polyethylene coating also assists in retarding formation of condensation on the side wall 12 of the container 10.
  • the bottom wall 14 of the container 10 may also be coated with a polyethylene on one or both sides to prevent leakage and/or formation of condensation.
  • coatings other than polyethylene that are suitable for consumer beverage containers may also be used on the side wall 12 and/or bottom wall 14 without departing from the scope of the present invention.
  • the coating may be polypropylene, polyester terephthalate, a blend of these polymers or any type of polymer that can be extruded onto paperboard of a printing press or paper-machine applied coating, such as a water-based acrylic emulsion.
  • a printing press or paper-machine applied coating such as a water-based acrylic emulsion.
  • the container of the present invention use an uncoated paperboard or other suitable paper-stock.
  • an pre-impregnated paper-stock that does not require surface coating may be used without departing from the present invention.
  • the container 10 also includes a plurality of non-insulating impressed patterns 18 observable on the interior and exterior surfaces of the side wall 12.
  • the impressed patterns 18 are integrally formed into the side wall 12 of the container, and are of sufficient depth to provide a non-uniform gripping surface on the side wall 12 of the container 10.
  • the impressed patterns 18 may be a plurality of debossed surfaces outwardly raised from the side wall 12 of the container 10.
  • the impressed patterns 18 may be a plurality of embossed surfaces inwardly projecting from the side wall 12 of the container 10. In either instance, the impressed patterns 18 create a texture that alters the topographical surface of the side wall 12 of the container 10.
  • the embossed or debossed patterns be impressed to a depth of between two thousandths of an inch to fifty thousandths of an inch (.002 to .050 inches).
  • the depth of the emboss or deboss may be of any depth suitable to create a textured surface that improves grip ability of the present container 10 over traditional smooth-side wall paper containers.
  • FIGS. 1-10 different patterns of embossing or debossing may be utilized.
  • FIGS. 1 and 10 illustrate an example of an embossed pattern 18 comprised of a plurality of alphanumeric identifying indicia.
  • the identifying indicia 18 are arranged in a vertically repeating pattern.
  • the embossed indicia 18 can also be arranged as a single level of texture that provides the non-uniform surface.
  • the impressed patterns 18 may be a plurality of debossed indicia 18 outwardly raised on the side wall 12 of the container 10.
  • the impressed patterns 18 be comprised of patterns other than identifying indicia.
  • the embossed or debossed pattern 18 may be of the designs illustrated in FIGS. 3-6, or any other pattern suitable for providing improved grip-ability as compared with smooth-side wall paper containers.
  • the patterns may be logos for various sports teams, universities, venues, companies, etc.
  • the impressed surface is defined by a plurality of debossed surfaces
  • at least the debossed regions of the side wall 12 are coated with a textured substrate.
