发明名称 Reservoir coaster
摘要 A beverage coaster includes a hollow main body having an open end. The beverage coaster also includes a top plate with an outer surface and a plurality of apertures formed therein. The top plate is disposed on and covers the open end of the hollow main body to define a reservoir within the hollow main body. The apertures permit fluid communication between the outer surface of the top plate and the reservoir. In operation, the reservoir collects and stores condensation that drains from a beverage container placed on the outer surface of the top plate.

主权项 1. A beverage coaster, comprising: a hollow main body having a substantially annular sidewall and an open end, the sidewall having a substantially annular upper surface and a continuous side surface defining an outermost perimeter of the main body relative to a center of the main body; and a flat top plate integrally formed with the sidewall to prevent relative movement between the top plate and the sidewall and covering the open end of the main body, the top plate and the main body forming a reservoir, the main body and the top plate being formed from a substantially non-absorbent material, and the reservoir being free from an absorbent material and any interior structure, wherein the top plate has a circular outer surface extending in a single plane and configured to receive a beverage container, the outer surface having a plurality of apertures formed therein, the apertures configured to permit fluid communication between the outer surface of the top plate and the reservoir, wherein the apertures are evenly distributed across the outer surface of the top plate, wherein the apertures include a plurality of substantially circular holes and a plurality of partially circular holes, each of the substantially circular holes being spaced substantially a same minimum distance from more than four others of the apertures, the partially circular holes being positioned adjacent the sidewall of the main body, the substantially circular holes each having a diameter between ¼ inch and ¾ inch, and the upper surface of the sidewall being positioned directly underneath the partially circular holes such that the partially circular holes overlap the upper surface of the sidewall in a vertical direction.
