Abstract

Provided is a glass that includes a support, a bowl that is configured to contain a fluid and defining a central axis. The glass may also include a labile connector fastened to the support and to the bowl, the labile connector allowing the cup to rotate eccentrically with respect to the support.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A multifunctional glass, comprising:
 a support having a defined axis, in normal supporting conditions, a vertical axis,   a bowl configured to contain a fluid and defining a central axis,   a labile connector, fastened to said support and to said bowl,   said labile connector allowing said bowl to rotate with respect to said support,   said bowl rotating eccentrically about said vertical direction with respect to said support.   
     
     
         2 . The glass according to  claim 1 , wherein said bowl is attached to said connector in an offset manner, with said central axis and said vertical axis offset from each other, so as to allow said eccentric rotation. 
     
     
         3 . The glass according to  claim 1 , defining a vertical axis, and wherein said central axis forms a tilt angle (α) with respect to said vertical axis when said bowl is moved with respect to said support around said connector, defining a precessing motion. 
     
     
         4 . The glass according to  claim 1 , wherein said tilt angle (α) is zero. 
     
     
         5 . The glass according to  claim 1 , wherein said tilt angle (α) is not zero. 
     
     
         6 . The glass according to  claim 1 , wherein said tilt angle (α) is between 3° and 15°. 
     
     
         7 . The glass according to  claim 1 , wherein said connector labile comprises a bearing having a first portion, integral with said support, and a second portion, integral with said bowl. 
     
     
         8 . The glass according to  claim 7 , wherein said first portion rests on a non-flat surface which is part of the labile connector. 
     
     
         9 . The glass according to  claim 8 , wherein said non-flat surface consists of a ring having different thicknesses in different circumferential areas. 
     
     
         10 . The glass according to  claim 1 , wherein said bowl is manually movable by a user with respect to said support, said movable bowl being configured to decant said fluid comprised within said bowl.
