Abstract
A cup with a rotating handle includes a cup body, a handle, the upper end of which rotates and is connected with the side of the cup body, and a limiting mechanism, wherein the handle and the cup body are connected. The limiting mechanism configured such that when the handle rotates upward to a first angular position, it is limited thereto, and when the handle rotates downward to a second angular position, it is also limited thereto, providing convenient adjustment of the direction of the handle.
Claims10
A cup having a handle, comprising:
- (a) a cup body having at least one side wall and a side shaft arranged thereon;
- (b) a handle having a rotatable top end and a shaft sleeve, the handle being rotatably connected with the side wall of the cup body for rotation between a first angular position and a second angular position;
- (c) a limiting mechanism arranged at an interface between the handle and the cup body including a limiting block arranged on a side wall of the side shaft, an internal ring slot and magnet arranged inside of the shaft sleeve, and a ferromagnetic component arranged within the side shaft, the magnet being in aligned arrangement with the ferromagnetic component, the internal ring slot including a spacer rib, having a first notch and a second notch which provide passage of the limiting block, whereby when the handle rotates upward to the first angular position, the limiting block catches in the first notch, and when the handle rotates downward to the second angular position, the limiting block catches in the second notch.
A cup having a handle, comprising a cup body having at least one side wall, a handle rotatably connected with the at least one side wall, and a handle rotation assembly arranged at an upper end of the handle and including a pair of magnets, a rotation channel, and a limiting block, the handle rotation assembly being adjustable between a rotation position when the limiting block is arranged within the rotation channel and at least one locking position when a retaining force of the pair of magnets prevents movement of the limiting block, whereby when the rotation assembly is in its rotation position, the handle is rotatable between at least two locking positions.
