Cream Cup

Abstract

A cream cup ( 10 ) comprises an internal cream-containing cup ( 11 ), and external cup lining ( 12 ) for receiving said internal cup and a spacer ( 21 ) which is placed between said internal cup and external cup lining and which, after being inserted into the cup lining ( 12 ), can be transferred from a radial retracted configuration for the insertion thereof into the cup lining ( 12 ) to a radial extension configuration for receiving said cup lining ( 12 ) in such a way that the internal cup ( 11 ) is fixed therein.

1 . A cream cup with an internal cup for accommodating a cream and an external cup lining for receiving the internal cup, wherein a spacer is arranged between the internal cup and the cup lining,
 characterized in that   the spacer ( 21 ,  41 ) can be transferred from a radially retracted configuration for being inserted into the cup lining into a radially expanded configuration for receiving the internal cup ( 11 ,  42 ) after its insertion to the cup lining such that the internal cup is fixed in the cup lining ( 12 ).   
   
   
       2 . The cream cup according to  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that   the spacer ( 21 ) features at least two spacer segments ( 25 ) that are connected to one another by means of connecting devices of variable length.   
   
   
       3 . The cream cup according to  claim 2 ,
 characterized in that   the spacer segments ( 25 ) are realized in the form of ring segments that are connected to one another by means of circumferential webs ( 27 ) on their longitudinal ends.   
   
   
       4 . The cream cup according to  claim 3 ,
 characterized in that   the ring segments ( 25 ) are connected to one another by means of the circumferential webs ( 27 ) on their upper axial ends and by means of radial spokes ( 29 ) on their lower radial ends.   
   
   
       5 . The cream cup according to  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that   the spacer ( 41 ) features at least two spacer segments ( 44 ) that have an axial dimension corresponding to the inner height of the cup lining ( 12 ) and are respectively connected to a circumferential edge ( 47 ) of a cup bottom ( 46 ) of the internal cup ( 42 ) on their upper axial ends by means of a connecting device ( 49 ) with a predetermined breaking point.   
   
   
       6 . The cream cup according to  claim 5 ,
 characterized in that   the connecting device ( 49 ) is made of a film material.   
   
   
       7 . The cream cup according to Claim  5 ,
 characterized in that   the internal cup ( 42 ) and the spacer ( 41 ) are realized in one piece with the aid of the connecting device ( 49 ).   
   
   
       8 . The cream cup according to Claim  5 ,
 characterized in that   the circumferential edge ( 47 ) and the cup bottom ( 46 ) define a receptacle space ( 48 ) for accommodating a weight ( 23 ).   
   
   
       9 . The cream cup according to  claim 2 ,
 characterized in that   the spacer segments are realized elastically.   
   
   
       10 . The cream cup according to  claim 3 ,
 characterized in that   a radially outer and a radially inner surface of the ring segments respectively have a surface contour that corresponds to the surface contour of an inner surface of the cup lining ( 12 ) and an outer surface of the internal cup ( 11 ,  42 ), respectively.   
   
   
       11 . The cream cup according to  claim 10 ,
 characterized in that   the internal cup ( 11 ) and the cup lining ( 12 ) are realized in the form of cylindrical cups and the ring segments ( 25 ) are realized in the form of hollow cylindrical segments.
