Modular drinking glass with interchangeable parts

Abstract

A modular drinking glass with interchangeable parts comprising a base ( 12 ), a bowl ( 14 ) and if necessary also one or more portions of stem ( 13 ) provided, on surfaces facing each other, with coupling means ( 15 ) providing a freely associable and disconnectable bond between the parts.

1 . Modular drinking glass with interchangeable parts, characterized in that it is composed of parts comprising at least a base ( 12 ) and a bowl ( 14 ), in which each of said parts is provided with coupling means ( 15 ) producing a freely associable and disconnectable bond with facing parts.  
     
     
         2 . Modular drinking glass as claimed in  claim 1 , characterized in that between said base ( 12 ) and said bowl ( 14 ) there is at least one portion of stem ( 13 ), said portion of stem ( 13 ) also being provided with coupling means ( 15 ) producing a freely associable and disconnectable bond with facing parts.  
     
     
         3 . Modular drinking glass as claimed in any one of the previous claims, characterized in that said coupling means ( 15 ) are composed of complementary coupling elements.  
     
     
         4 . Modular drinking glass as claimed in  claim 3 , characterized in that said complementary coupling elements are threaded male ( 15 ′) and female ( 15 ″) coupling elements.  
     
     
         5 . Modular drinking glass as claimed in  claim 3 , characterized in that said coupling elements ( 15 ) are bayonet type male ( 15 ′) and female ( 15 ″) coupling elements.  
     
     
         6 . Modular drinking glass as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , characterized in that said coupling means ( 15 ) are pressed in a single piece with said parts of drinking glass ( 12 ,  13 ,  14 ).  
     
     
         7 . Modular drinking glass as claimed in  claim 6 , characterized in that said coupling means are pressed in the same material as said parts ( 12 ,  13 ,  14 ).  
     
     
         8 . Modular drinking glass as claimed in  claim 6 , characterized in that said coupling means are pressed in a different material compared with said parts ( 12 ,  13 ,  14 ).  
     
     
         9 . Modular drinking glass as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , characterized in that said coupling means ( 15 ) are inserts firmly bonded to said parts of drinking glass ( 12 ,  13 ,  14 ).  
     
     
         10 . Modular drinking glass as claimed in  claim 9 , characterized in that said inserts are made of metal, plastic or glass.  
     
     
         11 . Modular drinking glass as claimed in  claim 9 , characterized in that said inserts are cemented.  
     
     
         12 . Modular drinking glass as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , characterized in that it is made of glass or crystal.  
     
     
         13 . Modular drinking glass as claimed in  claim 1  or  2 , characterized in that said parts ( 12 ,  13 ,  14 ) may have general shapes, dimensions and colours.
