RING MADE OF EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE FOR A CUP

Abstract

The present invention solves a number of practical problems relating to the use of disposable plastic and paper cups (1) by mass caterers and fast food entities for serving beverages such as coffee, tea, juices, refreshments, beers, etc., to their customers but also desserts such as yoghurt, ice cream, fruit salads etc. The ring (2) has a truncated cone shape to fit externally onto existing disposable cups, plastic or paper and is made of expanded polystyrene. The additional ring covers over 80% of the total surface, of the beaker in order to heat-insulate and maintain the desirable beverage temperature for longer.
