Drinking apparatus system and method

Abstract

A drinking apparatus comprising a bowl having radial symmetry about a first axis Y extending a length of the bowl, the bowl having a bowl opening at a first end of the drinking apparatus defining a first diameter and extending to a third diameter that is smaller than the first diameter; a curve extending from the bowl; a stem extending from the curve, the stem extending linearly along an axis Q and having a consistent diameter along a length of the stem, the stem extending to a second end having a drinking port; and an internal chamber defined by the bowl, curve and stem, with the bowl opening and drinking port communicating with the internal chamber.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of drinking liquid from a drinking apparatus, the method comprising:
 introducing a liquid to an internal chamber of a drinking apparatus, the drinking apparatus consisting essentially of:
 a bowl having circular radial symmetry about a first axis Y extending a length of the bowl, the bowl having a bowl opening at a first end of the drinking apparatus defining a first diameter, the bowl having a top portion extending from the bowl opening to a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter, the bowl further including a bottom portion extending from the second diameter to a third diameter that is smaller than the first and second diameter, 
 a curve extending from the bottom portion of the bowl, 
 a stem extending from the curve, the stem extending linearly along an axis Q and having a consistent diameter equal to the third diameter along a length of the stem, the stem extending to a second end having a drinking port, and 
 an internal chamber defined by the bowl, curve and stem, with the bowl opening and drinking port communicating with the internal chamber, 
 wherein the drinking apparatus includes a single plane of symmetry XY that is coincident with the Y and Q axes; 
   holding the drinking apparatus having the liquid disposed within the internal chamber with the plane of symmetry XY coincident with a local force of gravity;   positioning the drinking port about a mouth of a user;   and rotating the drinking apparatus within the plane of symmetry XY while coincident with the local force of gravity such that the liquid disposed within the internal chamber exits the drinking port and enters the mouth of the user.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the Y and Q axes intersect at an angle of less than 90 degrees and greater than 45 degrees. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the drinking apparatus is transparent. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the bowl opening and drinking port are circular. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the liquid comprises champagne. 
     
     
         6 . A drinking apparatus consisting essentially of:
 a bowl having circular radial symmetry about a first axis Y extending a length of the bowl, the bowl having a bowl opening at a first end of the drinking apparatus defining a first diameter, the bowl having a top portion extending from the bowl opening to a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter, the bowl further including a bottom portion extending from the second diameter to a third diameter that is smaller than the first and second diameter;   a curve extending from the bottom portion of the bowl;   a stem extending from the curve, the stem extending linearly along an axis Q and having a consistent diameter equal to the third diameter along a length of the stem, the stem extending to a second end having a drinking port; and   an internal chamber defined by the bowl, curve and stem, with the bowl opening and drinking port communicating with the internal chamber,   wherein the drinking apparatus includes a plane of symmetry XY that is coincident with the Y and Q axes.   
     
     
         7 . The drinking apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the Y and Q axes intersect at an angle of 37 degrees. 
     
     
         8 . A drinking apparatus comprising:
 a bowl having radial symmetry about a first axis Y extending a length of the bowl, the bowl having a bowl opening at a first end of the drinking apparatus defining a first diameter and extending to a third diameter that is smaller than the first diameter;   a curve extending from the bowl;   a stem extending from the curve, the stem extending linearly along an axis Q and having a consistent diameter along a length of the stem, the stem extending to a second end having a drinking port; and   an internal chamber defined by the bowl, curve and stem, with the bowl opening and drinking port communicating with the internal chamber.   
     
     
         9 . The drinking apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the bowl comprises a top portion extending from the bowl opening to a second diameter that is larger than the first diameter, the bowl further including a bottom portion extending from the second diameter to the third diameter, which is smaller than the first and second diameter. 
     
     
         10 . The drinking apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the stem extends linearly along an axis Q. 
     
     
         11 . The drinking apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the stem extends linearly with a consistent diameter equal to the third diameter along a length of the stem. 
     
     
         12 . The drinking apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the drinking apparatus includes a single plane of symmetry XY that is coincident with the Y and Q axes. 
     
     
         13 . The drinking apparatus  claim 10 , wherein the Y and Q axes intersect at an angle of less than 90 degrees and greater than 45 degrees. 
     
     
         14 . The drinking apparatus  claim 10 , wherein the Y and Q axes intersect at an angle of 37 degrees. 
     
     
         15 . The drinking apparatus  claim 10 , wherein respective distances from respective faces of the first and second end to the intersection of the Y and Q axes is equal. 
     
     
         16 . The drinking apparatus  claim 8 , wherein the drinking apparatus is transparent.
