Abstract

A two cell cup for a cup holder is provided. The two cell cup includes a first cavity housing, a second cavity housing and a first rim. The first cavity housing forms a first cavity with a first opening. The second cavity housing forms a second cavity with a second opening. The first rim is generally circular in shape. Moreover, the first rim partially defines the first and second openings to the first and second cavities. The first and second openings of the first and second cavities are located within the first rim.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A two cell cup comprising:
 a first cavity housing forming a first cavity with a first opening;   a second cavity housing forming a second cavity with a second opening; and   a first rim generally circular in shape, the first rim partially defining the first and second openings to the first and second cavities, the first and second openings of the first and second cavities being within the first rim.   
   
   
       2 . The two cell cup of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a second rim defining remaining portions of the first and second openings within the first rim.   
   
   
       3 . The two cell cup of  claim 2 , wherein the second rim is generally arc shaped coupled across a portion of the first rim. 
   
   
       4 . The two cell cup of  claim 2 , wherein the first and second rim are in the same plane. 
   
   
       5 . The two cell cup of  claim 1 , wherein the first cavity housing has a first depth and the second cavity housing has a second depth, the first depth being greater than the second depth. 
   
   
       6 . The two cell cup of  claim 5 , wherein the first cavity housing includes a base configured to hold the cup upright when set on a surface. 
   
   
       7 . The two cell cup of  claim 5 , wherein the first cavity housing is generally crescent shaped. 
   
   
       8 . The two cell cup of  claim 5 , wherein the base of the first cavity housing extends beyond 180 degrees from a center point of the first rim. 
   
   
       9 . The two cell cup of  claim 5 , wherein the base has at least one raised portion. 
   
   
       10 . The two cell cup of  claim 1 , further including a ridge configured to space the first rims of stacked cup a select distance from each other. 
   
   
       11 . The two cell cup of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a lip coupled to the first rim configured to engage a surface proximate a cup holder.   
   
   
       12 . The two cell cup of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a removable cover.   
   
   
       13 . The two cell cup of  claim 12 , wherein the removable cover is configured to seal contents contained in the first and second cavities. 
   
   
       14 . A cup for a cup holder, the cup comprising:
 a first cavity housing forming a first cavity having a first opening;   a second cavity housing forming a second cavity having a second opening, the first and second cavity housing configured to be received in the cup holder;   a first rim defining outer portions of the first and second openings, the first rim generally circular in shape; and   a second rim defining inner portions of the first and second openings, the second rim located within the first rim and extending across a portion of the first rim, the second rim having a shape configured to prevent the cup from folding up when in the cup holder, the second rim further in the same plane as the first rim.   
   
   
       15 . A cup of  claim 13 , further comprising:
 the first cavity housing and the second cavity housing having select depths, the first cavity housing having a greater depth than the second cavity housing;   the first cavity housing further having generally a crescent shape with a base configured to hold the cup in an upright position when not received in a cup holder.   
   
   
       16 . The cup of  claim 14 , further comprising wherein the first and second rims have a peal sealed surface, the cup further comprising:
 a removable cover sealed to the first rim and the second rim to keep items in the cavities fresh and free from contaminates, wherein the seal on the second rim further prevents contents of one of the first and second cavities from being mixed with the contents of the other first and second cavities.   
   
   
       17 . The cup of  claim 14 , wherein the first rim has an outer diameter that is larger than the cup holder, the cup further comprising:
 a lip extending from first rim proximate the outer diameter of the first rim, the lip configured to engage a surface proximate a cup holder when the cup is placed in a cup holder.   
   
   
       18 . A cup comprising:
 a generally circular first rim, the rim having an inner edge and an outer edge, the diameter of the outer edge being greater than a diameter of a cup holder;   a generally arc shaped second rim coupled across a portion of the first rim proximate the inner edge of the of the first rim to partition an interior area within the first rim into a first partition area and a second partition area, the second rim having a first edge and a second edge, the first rim and the second rim being in the same panel;   a first cavity housing having a first cavity, the first cavity housing having a first end and a second end, the first end having an opening to the first cavity, the first end further coupled to a first portion of the interior edge of the first rim and the first edge of the second rim, the second end of the first cavity housing having a closed base; and   a second cavity housing having a second cavity, the second cavity having a first end and a second end, the first end having an opening to the second cavity, the first end of the second cavity housing coupled to the second edge of the second rim and a second portion of the inner edge of the first rim, the second end of the second cavity housing being closed.   
   
   
       19 . The cup of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 the first cavity housing has a first and second portion that extends around a portion of the second cavity housing such that the portion of the second cavity housing is between the first and second portion of the first cavity housing, the first cavity housing having a base configured to hold the cup in an upright position when resting on a surface.   
   
   
       20 . The cup of  claim 18 , further wherein a volume size of the second cavity is in proportion to a volume size in the first cavity based on a determination of how much product in the second cavity will be needed for the product in the first cavity.
