DESCRIPTION

Solid retaining lid for drinking glasses.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a solid retaining lid for drinking glasses.

Background of the invention

Nowadays, it is common for alcoholic and refreshing beverages to be served with ice cubes, lemon slices or other solid objects inside, with the intention of lowering their temperature, giving them an additional flavor or simply as an ornament.

However, these solid objects cause problems when consuming the drink, since when the consumer tilts the glass, these objects collide with the upper lip of the consumer's mouth, causing discomfort when drinking. This is because both the ice cubes and the lemon slices float in the liquid.

Another problem is that these objects sometimes get stuck in the middle or bottom of the glass as the drink is consumed. By tilting the glass more, these cubes can move, falling over the liquid and can splash the consumer staining it.

Description of the invention

The solids retaining lid for drinking glasses, object of this invention, has a series of technical features aimed at improving the consumption of beverages contained in glasses by increasing comfort and safety.

Indeed, the lid comprises a more or less thick grid, which is prolonged on one side of its contour by a protrusion in the shape of an inverted "U" or clip to hold it to the edge of a glass. This grid applied to a glass of drink prevents the exit of ice cubes and other solids contained in the drink by approximately sealing the inner section of the glass, but allows the passage of the liquid of the drink. This prevents the ice cubes and the floating lemon from bothering the consumer, as they remain below the grid.

The cover consists mainly of a filiform element that configures the grid in the form of a spiral and that extends at one end in its contour, in the upper clamping clip.

In a preferred embodiment, the clamp has its flattened section for better coupling to the edge of the vessel.

Description of the figures

To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the characteristics of the invention, the present specification is accompanied by a set of drawings in which, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, the following has been represented:

- Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the lid.

- Figure 2 shows a sectioned elevation view of an application of the lid on a drinking glass. Preferred embodiment of the invention

As can be seen in the referenced figures, the cover of this invention comprises a grid (1), made up of a metallic filiform element arranged in a spiral and whose outer contour is extended by one end in a clamp (11), arranged approximately perpendicular to the grid plane (1). This clamp (11) has its flattened section to be able to hold onto the edge of a drink glass (2), leaving the grid (1) arranged inside said glass (2), occupying a large part of its cross section, retaining the solids (22) that the drink contains, such as some ice cubes and a lemon wedge in the case shown.

Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as an example of a preferred embodiment, it is stated for the appropriate purposes that the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the elements described may be modified, as long as this does not imply an alteration. of the essential characteristics of the invention that are claimed below.
