       3 . A device according to  claim 1 , characterized in that it may be modular by means of: 
 a tongue ( 32 ) to be folded inside a hole ( 33 ) by pushing on a line ( 56 ) during assembling, whereby the relative edges are overlapping;    a hole ( 33 ) into which said tongue is folded during assembling;    a seat ( 34 ) for the thumb hold close as for grasping;    a bottom ( 35 ) folded along the dotted lines during assembling and that becomes watertight;    an eyelet ( 36 ) through which a wing ( 38 ) passes during assembling, before it gets folded into a hole ( 37 );    a hole ( 37 ) into which, during assembling, a wing ( 38 ) gets folded;    a wing ( 38 ) passing through said eyelet ( 36 ) and then being folded into said hole ( 37 );    a plane part ( 39 ) that, during assembling, is to be folded first of  900  downwards along a line ( 51 ) and then of further 90° along a line ( 52 ), and thus becomes the bottom of what is contained in holes ( 13 ) and ( 27 ) after assembling;    a wing ( 40 ) with a smaller wing ( 38 ) at its end;    an outer edge ( 41 ) that is to be folded downwards of 90°, for stiffening the device;    an outer edge ( 42 ) that is to be folded downwards of 90° for stiffening the device, and containing holes ( 43 ) into which tongues ( 44 ) are folded during assembling;    a hole ( 43 ) into which said tongues ( 44 ) are folded during assembling;    a tongue ( 44 ) that must be folded into said hole ( 43 ) during assembling;    an inner edge ( 45 ) that is to be folded downwards of 90° during assembling for stiffening the device;    a plane part ( 46 ), cut out along the continuous line, that is to be folded downwards first of 90° along a line ( 53 ) and then of further 90° along a line ( 54 ) and finally a last fold of 90° of the part with the tongues ( 44 ) along a line ( 55 ), keeping said edge ( 42 ) inside, so that tongues ( 44 ) overlap in holes ( 43 ), and thus it becomes a bearing for the content of holes ( 13 ) and ( 27 );    a hole ( 47 ) that may be used for cutlery or other accessories;    a hole ( 48 ) for containing a dessert or other accessories;    a plane part ( 49 ), cut out along the continuous line, that must be folded downwards first of 90° along line  53 , then of further 90° along line ( 54 ) and then the part with tongues ( 44 ) still of 90° along line ( 55 ), keeping the edge ( 42 ) inside so that tongue ( 44 ) overlaps in said hole ( 43 ) and therefore is a bearing to the content of said holes ( 13 ) and ( 27 );    a plane part ( 50 ), cut out along a continuous line, that is to be folded downwards first of 90° along a line ( 53 ), then of further 90° along a line ( 54 ) and finally the part with the tongues ( 44 ) of further 90° along a line ( 55 ), keeping inside said edge ( 42 ) to that said tongue ( 44 ) overlaps in said hole ( 43 ) and is a bearing for the content of hole ( 48 );    a folding line ( 51 );    a wing ( 52 ) for holding the plate;    a folding line ( 53 );    a folding line ( 54 );    a folding line ( 55 );    a folding line ( 56 );    a hollow space ( 57 ) for housing a plate;    a hollow space ( 58 ) for housing one or more small cups;    a hollow space ( 59 ) for housing one or more medium and great cups.
