## Abstract

A drinking aid device (10) for a disposable cup (40), the device comprising: a wall assembly (20); a bored lid assembly (30), wherein the top (32) thereof is used as the bottom of the drinking aid device (10); and attaching mechanism (26, 36) of the wall assembly (20) to the bored lid assembly (30) in a sealed manner; thereby allowing drinking the content of the cup (40) from the drinking aid device rather than from the lid assembly; wherein: the wall assembly (20) and the bored lid assembly (30) are separate entities; the wall assembly being designed to allow storing a plurality of entities thereof in an interlaced manner; and the lid assembly being designed to allow storing a plurality of entities thereof in an interlaced manner.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A drinking aid device (10) for a disposable cup (40), said device comprising:
a wall assembly (20);
a bored lid assembly (30), wherein the top (32) thereof is used as the bottom of said drinking aid device (10); and
attaching mechanism (26, 36) of said wall assembly (20) to said bored lid assembly (30) in a sealed manner;
thereby allowing drinking the content of said cup (40) from said drinking aid device rather than from said lid assembly;
wherein:
said wall assembly (20) and said bored lid assembly (30) are separate entities;
said wall assembly being designed to allow storing a plurality of entities thereof in an interlaced manner; and
said lid assembly being designed to allow storing a plurality of entities thereof in an interlaced manner.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein said attaching mechanism is based on a protrusion and corresponding depression, thereby allowing producing said attaching mechanism from the same material as of the connectable parts.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

A device according to claim 2, wherein said protrusion is a rolled rim, thereby allowing producing said protrusion by a well known technology.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein the top of said lid (32) is inclined and a bore (34) of said lid assembly (30) is disposed at the lower side of said top (32), for allowing fluid remaining in said aid device to return to said cup (40) upon positioning said device (10) horizontally.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein said attaching mechanism is based on fixation of said wall assembly to said lid assembly.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

A device according to claim 1, wherein said interlaced manner is obtained by a truncated conic design thereof.
