Beverage holder with anti-spill baffles

Abstract

A glass according for holding a liquid comprising a base at the bottom of a stem and a reservoir at the top of the stem for holding a liquid. The stem runs between the base and reservoir. Vertical baffles are included within the reservoir, each of the baffles extending from an inside surface of said reservoir and intersecting with the others of said baffles within the reservoir. The baffles reduce spillage of liquid from the reservoir when the reservoir is moved.

1 . A beverage holder, comprising: 
 a reservoir for holding a liquid;    baffles within said reservoir dividing said reservoir into compartments and regulating the flow of liquid within said reservoir to reduce spillage of liquid from said reservoir when said reservoir is moved.    
   
   
       2 . The beverage holder of  claim 1 , wherein said baffles comprise vertical surfaces.  
   
   
       3 . The beverage holder of  claim 2 , wherein each said baffle extends from the inner surface of said reservoir and meets with the others of said baffles near the middle of said reservoir.  
   
   
       4 . The beverage holder of  claim 1 , further comprising an opening at the base of one or more or said baffles to allow liquid to run between said compartments.  
   
   
       5 . The beverage holder of  claim 1 , further comprising openings through said one or more of said baffles to allow liquid to run between said compartments.  
   
   
       6 . The beverage holder of  claim 3 , wherein the top edge of each said baffles is U-shaped to allow liquid within said reservoir to run over said baffles between said compartments.  
   
   
       7 . The beverage holder of  claim 3 , wherein the top edge of each of said baffles is shaped to allow liquid within said reservoir to move between compartments when said reservoir is moved or tilted.  
   
   
       8 . The beverage holder of  claim 3 , wherein each of said baffles begins within said reservoir below the top edge of said reservoir so that said baffles do not interfere with drinking of said liquid from said reservoir.  
   
   
       9 . A glass for holding a liquid comprising: 
 a base at the bottom of a stem;    a reservoir for holding a liquid, said stem running between said base and said reservoir;    vertical baffles within said reservoir, each of said baffles extending from an inside surface of said reservoir and intersecting with the others of said baffles within said reservoir, said baffles reducing spillage of liquid from said reservoir when said reservoir is moved.    
   
   
       10 . The glass of  claim 9 , wherein baffles divide said reservoir into compartments and regulate the flow of liquid within said reservoir when said glass is moved.  
   
   
       11 . The glass of  claim 10 , wherein said baffles intersect at the approximate middle of said reservoir.  
   
   
       12 . The glass of  claim 12 , wherein said vertical baffles divide said reservoir into compartments.  
   
   
       13 . The glass of  claim 12 , further comprising an opening at the base of one or more or said vertical baffles to allow liquid to run between said compartments.  
   
   
       14 . The glass of  claim 12 , wherein said vertical baffles divide said reservoir into four compartments.  
   
   
       15 . The glass of  claim 3 , wherein the top edge of each of said vertical baffles is U-shaped to allow liquid within said reservoir to run over said baffles between said compartments.  
   
   
       16 . The glass of  claim 3 , wherein each of said vertical baffles begins within said reservoir below the top edge of said reservoir so that said baffles do not interfere with drinking of said liquid from said reservoir.
