Abstract

The Duo Twin-Containers Drinking Disposable Cup system allows customers to order two different beverages—cold and/or hot—and have them served in two independent and disposable receptacles hosted in a single disposable cup. The twin-containers disposable cup system is comprised of four pieces: two containers in the shape of half cups that neatly fit inside a disposable cup; a disposable cup that hosts the two said half-cup shaped receptacles; and a lid with perforations to allow use of straws or direct lips-to-lid consumption in the case of hot drinks and a diametrical extrusive panel that serves to separate at the top the two half cups to prevent. An empty space between the facing flat sides of the two half-cup-shaped receptacles improves thermal insulation, thus allowing the coexistence of hot and cold beverages without noticeable thermal interference.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A twin-containers drinking disposable cup system that allows customers to receive two different beverages—cold and/or hot—and have them served simultaneously in two separate receptacles placed inside a single disposable host cup. 
   
   
       2 . A twin-containers drinking disposable cup system that is comprised of four pieces: two containers in the shape of half cups—also called twins herein—that fit inside a full cup—also referred to as host cup herein—and a lid with the necessary perforation options to allow use of straws or directly (lips-to-lid) in the case of hot drinks. 
   
   
       3 . A disposable cup—or host cup. The Duo twin-containers drinking disposable cup system recognizes the precedence of existing patents and manufacturing processes regarding the fabrication of disposable cups. 
   
   
       4 . Two half-cup shaped containers—or twins. The two half-cup shaped containers are made of the same material as the host cup and are shaped so that the two half-cup shaped receptacles fit perfectly inside the host cup and serve as receptacles for hot and/or cold beverages. 
   
   
       5 . A lid that is a circular piece aimed at sealing the upper part of the host cup in order to avoid spillage and conserve the beverages' temperatures. The Duo twin-containers drinking disposable cup system's lid has two perforations for straws and/or alternatively two oblong perforations for direct lips-to-lid drinking of hot beverages. 
   
   
       6 . A lid that has on the inside an extrusion that serves to separate at the top the two half cups in order to avoid spillover from one side to another side.
