Description

FIELD OF APPLICATION [001] This innovation relates to an object within the field of kitchen utensils, specifically utensils used by children for consuming beverages. More specifically, this innovation relates to a playful mug decorated with figures printed on rotating surfaces that allow for the creation of various combinations and new figures, thus creating an interactive device for the mug, and therefore having great appeal for children. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE OF THE ART [002] Despite the importance of nutrition for the proper development of babies during the food introduction phase and children, this moment can become a nightmare for caregivers, as they face everything from children's bewilderment due to the new practice, in the case of food introduction, to tantrums and food refusals, which can generate stress and trauma for both parties. [003] One way to establish a positive relationship with food and make mealtimes more appealing is to make the moment fun through table decoration: whether by drawing designs with the food on the plate, or by using eye-catching kitchen utensils suitable for children's meals. Thus, colorful or themed and playful plates, cutlery, and glasses that encourage imagination and promote fun can turn an important moment into a more enjoyable and lighthearted experience. [004] The search for state-of-the-art documents related to kitchen utensils, specifically, playful utensils for consuming beverages, revealed document US6352168, entitled “ROTATION CUP”, which discloses a cup equipped with a base, a first sleeve rotatably mounted on the base, a second sleeve rotatably mounted inside the first sleeve, the second sleeve having a smaller diameter than the first, making the two interlocking and able to rotate relative to each other. When assembled, the sleeves are fitted onto a base which, in turn, receives a cup. Both sleeves are made of transparent material, which allows the rotation to form different images on the surface of the cup. [005] Document US5525383, entitled “CONTAINER FOR DISPLAYING TRANSITORY MOVING IMAGES”, discloses a container, such as a cup, bottle or beverage can, having a vertical tubular or circular wall, where a rotating tubular sleeve, formed of transparent or translucent plastic, is mounted. Additional markings are applied to the adjacent walls of the container and the sleeve, so that when the sleeve is rotated around the central axis of the container, moving or transient images are produced, like a screen that attracts the user's attention and generates interest and entertainment. [006] Finally, document WO2019118323, entitled “INTERACTIVE CHILDREN’S CUP,” discloses an interactive container that includes an inner wall and an outer wall, with the inner wall in direct contact with the container’s contents. Between the inner and outer walls, there is a space that houses the container’s interactive feature, which can be moved, causing a change between at least two drawings or objects. The container’s interactive feature rotates around the container’s vertical central axis and causes at least one of the two drawings to move relative to the other. [007] Thus, it is clear that the state of the art fails to reveal and teach the innovation proposed here, which would benefit from the introduction of a household utensil, specifically, a playful and interactive utensil for consuming beverages, which can make mealtimes more attractive and enjoyable for children. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INNOVATION [008] The present innovation aims to present a children's mug with a playful and interactive device. To achieve this objective, said children's mug comprises a base, a body, a spout, a handle, and a plurality of flexible, movable ribbons, wherein: - the outer wall of the body is laminar and recessed relative to the base, and comprises a flat and smooth surface; - the first free end of the ribbons of the plurality of ribbons has a protrusion formed by a structure that frames an orifice, and the second free end of the ribbons of the plurality of ribbons, aligned with the body of the ribbon, has a pin, which pin has a tab that fits into the edge of the structure when the first free end is superimposed on the second free end to form and fix the circular structure of the plurality of ribbons in the closed configuration; - the inner portion of each ribbon of the plurality of ribbons comprises a plurality of rectangular grooves with rounded corners, aligned vertically and horizontally, spaced apart, the distance between two grooves vertically being less than the distance between two grooves horizontally, and in sufficient quantity to completely cover the inner wall of each ribbon of the plurality. of ribbons, with said inner portion also comprising a circular relief in its central rear portion; - the closed circular shape of the plurality of ribbons is fixed to the body of the mug by means of said plurality of grooves; and BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [009] The subject matter of
