Liquid seal arrangement for use in a pre-filled cocktail glass
First Claim
1. A pre-filled cocktail glass comprising:
- a stem base;
a stem connected at a first end to the stem base;
a bowl portion connected to a second end of the stem and being constructed to hold a liquid, the bowl portion having an open mouth defined by a rim; and
a removable seal member that extends across the bowl portion and is attached to the rim, the attachment between the seal member and the rim being defined by a bond strength, wherein the bond strength is sufficient to form a seal with the rim to sealingly contain the liquid within the bowl portion but is insufficient to cause formation of a fracture between the stem and bowl portion upon removal of the seal member from the rim.

Abstract
Arrangements and packaging for pre-filled cocktail glasses of the type which include a stem base, a stem connected at a first end to the stem base, and a bowl portion connected to a second end of the stem and being constructed to hold a cocktail. The bowl portion has an open mouth defined by a rim from which a person drinks the cocktail. The cocktail glass has a removable seal member that extends across the bowl portion and is attached to the rim. The attachment between the seal member and the rim is defined by a bond strength. The bond strength is sufficient to form a seal with the rim to sealingly contain the liquid within the bowl portion but is insufficient to cause formation of a fracture between the stem and bowl portion upon removal of the seal member from the rim.

14. A pre-filled cocktail glass comprising:
-
a stem base; a stem connected at a first end to the stem base; a bowl portion connected to a second end of the stem and being constructed to hold a liquid, the bowl portion having an open mouth defined by a rim; and a removable seal member that extends across the bowl portion and is attached to the rim, the attachment between the seal member and the rim being defined by a bond strength, wherein the bond strength is sufficient to form a seal with the rim to sealingly contain the liquid within the bowl portion, the bond strength being selected so that tensile forces generated at a frustum joint between the stem and the bowl portion due to removal of the seal member from the rim are less than a threshold tensile force that results in a fracture forming in the frustum joint. - View Dependent Claims (16)
