Abstract
A safety cover for a drink to prevent tampering, comprising a long cylindrical body that stretches over a drink glass in a way that is difficult to remove, high-friction features to make the cylindrical body even harder to remove from the glass, and a small opening for drinking or straw insertion that is difficult to use for unauthorized tampering of the drink.
Claims18
A safety cover for a beverage, comprising:
- an approximately flat circular top cover, comprising a small sip opening close to an edge, comprising a thin elastic material, wherein the radius of the top cover is smaller than the radius of a drinking glass;
- a cylindrical body projecting from the circular top cover, wherein the cylindrical body is configured so as to fit tightly around a drinking glass and to cover at least 75% of the height of a drinking glass;
- at least two pull tabs placed on a distal edge of the cylindrical body in such a way as to assist in its installation or removal;
- wherein the cylindrical body comprises an inner surface, wherein the inner surface comprises at least one high-friction surface;
- wherein the at least one high-friction surface comprises a cylindrical ring, further comprising a recessed ring above the cylindrical ring, a second recessed ring below the cylindrical ring, and a lower cylindrical ring below the second recessed ring, with the lower cylindrical ring located at an edge of the cylindrical body.
