Most push-button drinking cups on the market have a fixed design with a button at the front. The pop-up lid takes up part of the use space, which means that users may accidentally touch it while drinking. In addition, dirt and bacteria remain on the button when users press it, which is unhygienic. The liquid shoots out of the lid when the air pressure and temperature are high, which is unsafe.
Based on the above-mentioned problems of drinking cups, ERCUP is innovatively designed with a flip cover structure, using a side-pull lock and an elastic ring structure for users to open with only a thumb, which is applicable for multi-scenario use. At the same time, the button is on the flip lid and can be opened at 180° along with the flip lid. It doesn't come in direct contact with the mouth and takes up less space, which is more hygienic and comfortable.
In addition, when the air pressure and temperature in the cup are high, users can press the button on the ERCUP to touch the flip lid before flipping it, thus creating a gap between the cup rim and the seal ring to release the air pressure. When the hand lets go of the button, the air pressure and hot steam are released, allowing the lid to be flipped at normal speed. The two-point joint of the switch is on either side of the cup rim and the button ends to disperse pressure. It is more stable and durable than traditional flip lids. This is a new-generation bouncing cup that provides users with a dust-free, spill-free, comfortable, barrier-free, stable, and durable experience.
