Abstract

A stackable liquor glass has a bowl and a stem with set of equidistantly spaced holes to reduce vacuum pressure. In addition the stackable liquor glass includes a drainage passage, vented by the equidistantly placed holes for passage of fluid and air through a drainage pathway. The drain passage drains fluid through an asymmetric pathway for drainage outside of the glass through an opening in the glass. In addition a flat surface inside the bowl of the glass provides for a structure for the stacked glass to rest upon.

Claims

1. A stackable liquor glass, comprising:

a glass including a stem enclosure located in a bottom portion of said glass and a bowl;

said stem enclosure having a plurality of holes that are equidistantly spaced apart from each other in said stem 3 to eliminate vacuum formation caused by an upside-down stacking arrangement of one or more of said glasses in a wet state;

said bowl including a flat surface for another glass to rest thereon when stacked within said glass, and a drain connecting said bottom of said enclosure 6 to a point just below said bowl to provide a passage for air and fluid to flow through said drain and out of an opening of said stem enclosure to release air and water from said opening so as to avoid glass breakage.

2. The stackable liquor glass according to claim 1 wherein said stem is a sealed compartment within said glass having an opening at the bottom of said glass except for said drain which connects said enclosure to said stem and said opening of said stem which provide an egress for fluid and air to outside of said glass.

3. The stackable glass according to claim 1 wherein said holes are four holes.

4. The stackable glass according to claim 1 wherein said holes are for ventilation.

5. The stackable glass according to claim 1 wherein said asymmetric drain includes an opening for fluid egress from said drain at a point located on said stem just below the bowl for improved position or above said bowl in upside down stacked configuration.
