Abstract
ABSTRACT
A stackable thin-walled cup is designed to absorb telescoping Loads with less risk of jamming and is for use in beverage dispensing machines with an ingredient held in the cup. An ingredient is retained in the base of the cup which has an inward projecting annulus with upper and lower surfaces arranged to co-operate with surfaces of an outwardly projecting annulus at the base of a second stacked cup. Two of the surfaces form a seal to prevent Loss of ingredient and they are held in contact by a force due to abutment between abutments on respective cups. By suitable difference in linear dimension between the surfaces and abutments, a force is produced by tension derived from the cup walls to hold the seal surfaces together. Telescopic shock loads produce compression on the abutments and momentarily separate the seal surfaces which re-engage on removal of the Load.

SummarY of the invention According to this invention there i8 provided a cup, a number of ~hich may be as~embled to for~ a stack ~ith a space bet~esn ad~acent cup8 in the stack adapted to hold an ingredient, ths outer surface of the side ~all of the cup in the region of the base having an annular projecting ridge of ~hich an upper surface tapers conically up~ardly and inuardly to form a first sealing surface, a futher in~ardly pro~ecting annular ridge being provided in the sid3 ~all and spaced ebove the first ridge ~ith a lower surface thereof tapering conically doun~ardly and outwardly to form a ~econd ~ealing surface, the arrangement being such that when on- cup i9 nested ~ithin another the pro~ection near the base of the upper cup may engage belo~ the in~ard pro~ection of the lo~er cup ~ith the first and second seal$ng surfaces engaging to isolate an ingrsdient located in tha ~pece bet~een the-base of the upper cup and base of th0 lo~er cup, the first and ~econd sealing surface~ b0ing held in engagement by an abutment provided on the inner surface of the upper ~ide wall of ~ 4-~65Z84 the cup ~hich, ~hen the cup~ are heated, contflcts a second abutment provided on the outer surface of the side ~all of ths cup bolou the fir~t said abutment, the longitudinal di~tance bet~een the abutments and the sealing ~urfac~s being such that a tension is provided in the side ~all of the upper cup ~hich acts to m-intain the first and second sealing surfaces in contact up to a certain loading applled to the 3tack.
The butmant towards the top of the cup may be constructed as a relatively sharp angular corner contacting a sloping Qhoulder forming the second abut-ment ~hich provides better resistance to compressive forces applied to the stack. The arrangsment of these features may be reversed 80 that the slopin4 shoulder iJ then formed above the sharp sngular corner.
Furthermore, any compresslon of the stack ~ill lnitially causo the first and second sealing surfaces to part, the se-l being restored when ths force is removed. The dimenJion~ bet~een the abutments and sealing Jurfaces are ~r~nged 80 that the abutment points meet prior to ~ull engagement of one sealing surface belo~

A partlcular f-~ture of thia arrangemont is that upon axial shock 116S;Z1~4 loading there i9 no radial distortion of the CUp8 in the stack in the region of the 8eal, any di~tortion occurring due to compression being at the abutment surface~, and jamming of the sealing faces i9 thus prevented.

Toward~ the top of th- ~ido wall of the cup there i~ provided an outw-rdly extending abutment surface 9 snd bov- th-t an inwardly directed butmont ~urface 10. The abutm-nt surf-ce 9 face- downw-rdly and the abutmont surface 10 face~ towards the mouth of the cup.
The surfaces 9 and 10 may be reversed a~ shown in Figure 3 and m-y also b- formed as interrupted, non continuouJ surface~, a~ a method of introducing addition-l axi-l resilience lnto the engaged CUpJ.
Thi~ is shown in Figuro~ 4 and 5 a~ example 116~Z84 Referring nou to Figure 2, one cup i8 8hOUn negted and engaged and in dottad lines ~ithin another cup and during the engaging process the surface S at the lower part of the inner cup i~ pressed do~n~ardly 80 that it engage~ and elide~ ov-r the up~ardly facing surface a of the lo~er cup. The surface S slids~ over the ~urface B during uhich out~ard deflection of the ~idis ~all of th- lo~er cup occur~ until the position sho~n in the dra~ing is resched, ~herein the first sealing surface
4 of the upper cup engages the second sealing surface 7 of the lower cup. It ~ill be seen that in this condition the upper cup may be moved do~n~ardly further into the socond cup ~ithout any substantial deflection or distortion In order to maintain the first and second sealing surfaceJ in engagement the abutment Jurface~ 9 and 10 are 80 arranged that the surface 9 of th- upper cup contact~ the ~urface 10 of the louer cup before full engagement of the ~ealing surface~ 4 and 7 occur~. In thiJ ~ay there is ~ constant up~ard compression force existing betueen the sealing ~urfac-o 4 and 7, the extent of ~hich dependJ on the relative spacing existing bet~een the sealing surfaces snd abutment points. An ingredient in powder form is thus trapped in the cavity 11. If the stack is sub~ect to exces~ive compression-l force than the upper side ~all of the lower cup ~ill be deflected out~ardly through force exerted by the abutment 9 and to a certain extent into the lowermost cup. This movement merelr produces separstion of the t w sealing surfsce~
during the time of the applied compre~sion and, ~ithin limits, ~hen the compressive force is removed the t~o sealing surfeces re-engsge and remake the seal.
The abutmenta 9 and 10 may be designed 80 that they ~ill absorb considerably more compressive force than in previously known constructiona of cup and it can be seen - that thi~ arrangement provides the advantage that there ie no deformation or damage to the actual sealing surfaces 4 snd 7.
In the construction the distance A bet~een the sealing surface 4 and abutment 9 will be less than the diotance ~ between the aealing surface 7 and abutment 10.
Preferably an angle of forty five degress is ~elected for the first snd second sealing surfaces 4 and 7.
A further feature of the construction is that the contact bet~een the ~irst and second sealing surfaces doe~ not depend on deformation of the side wall in the immedlate vicinity of the surface~ as in kno~n constrcutlons.

The t~o ~all3 21, 22 are spaced fro~ one another by an outuard annular projection 23 formed in ~all 21 and an inuard annular projection formed in ~all 22. The spacing provides for an air gap 25 betueen th~ t~o ~alls serving as insulation.
