A coffee cup is a cup for serving coffee and coffee-based drinks. There are three major types: conventional cups used with saucers, mugs used without saucers, and disposable cups. Cups and mugs generally have a handle. Disposable paper cups used for take-out sometimes have fold-out handles, but are more often used with an insulating coffee cup ...
The disposable cone-shaped paper cup was invented in 1908 by Lawrence Luellen, and in 1912 Luellen and Hugh Moore began marketing the Health Kup, another paper disposable cup. [8] The Health Kup was designed to create a means for people to drink water from public water barrels without spreading germs, which occurred when people would use a ...
Sales of the cup reached 500 million in 1994 at its peak, [4] and fell to about 200 million cups annually by 2005. [1] At its peak, up to 15 million cups were used monthly. [2] One New York Times writer in 1995 called the Anthora "perhaps the most successful cup in history". [4] Solo halted production in 2006, [5] but continued to license the ...
Some paper cup holders carry advertisements. The coffee sleeve was invented in 1991 by Jay Sorensen [1] and patented in 1995 [2] (under the trademarked name Java Jacket), and are now commonly utilized by coffee houses and other vendors that sell hot beverages dispensed in disposable paper cups. There are a number of patents that cover various ...
A paper cup is a disposable cup made out of paper and often lined or coated with plastic [1] [2] or wax to prevent liquid from leaking out or soaking through the paper. [3] [4] Disposable cups in shared environments have become more common for hygienic reasons after the advent of the germ theory of disease.
Paper is an absorbent material and often needs to be paired with a water-resistant material to prevent the liquid in the cup from being absorbed by the paper. Wax or PE (plastic) are the most common materials used to line paper cups. Paper cups lined with wax cannot be recycled. Paper cups lined with a PE lining can be recycled, but require ...
A drink carrier, sometimes also known as a cup carrier, beverage carrier or cup holder is a device used to carry multiple filled beverage cups at the same time. There are many different designs for drink carriers, but they commonly include relatively deep indentations, holes, or compartments into which the cups are placed.
Digital mock-ups allows engineers to design and configure complex product prototypes and validate their designs without ever needing to build a physical model. [1] Mockups can be convincing and closely resemble the final product in appearance, [2] allowing early revisions rather than changes much later in the production stage.
