Description: "A MULTIUSE GLASS-MARKER WITH NUMERAL, PUBLICITY, NiflME IDENTIFICATION AND SIMILAR" The present invention concerns a marker that may be applied on glasses of various kind and dimensions, so as to: 1 ) allow the user to reckognize for sure his own glass left together with others; 2) impose aimed and efficient publicity messages espe¬ cially to those who use said glass; 3) be used, eventually, as a place marker. The advantages of the object according to the present invention are many and of various kinds, like: A) hygienical: infact, with the use of the marker according to the present invention, the risk of drinking from someone else's glass is prevented; B) economical: the inconvenience of using a plurali¬ ty of glasses and therefore waisting a great num¬ ber of drinks due to the fear of using a glass be¬ longing to someone else and left together with one's own in lunchs and similar. Infact during meetings, dinners etc. oftenly a new glass is filled for not using a glass - even if full - that might be¬ long to someone else. C) publicity: by means of the glass-marker according to the present invention, one or more publicity messages will be sent to the user who will be "forced" to receive them for identifying his own glass. Said messages will be inserted in spaces or areas of said marker by means of paintings, marks, symbols, colours, numbers, initials etc., eventually connected to a plurality of publici¬ ty messages. D) Multiuse, comprising the possibility of place marker", infact, apart from the spaces or areas for the publicity and or the numbers or ini¬ tials, the device according to the present in¬ vention may have a space in which the name of the user and/or a symbol and/or a colour and/or a painitng or any other element of distinction may be inserted, so as to be used like a place marker or similar. The present invention will be described hereinbe- low according to the attached drawings in which a preferred embodiment is shown. Figure 1 , shows the marker according to the present invention in a perspective view; figure 2, shows the marker applied on a glass; figures 3 and 4, show lateral views respectively of a marker and of the same ap- . plied on the edge of a glass; figure 5, shows a multiple element variant. Relating to the details of the figures, the marker mainly consists of a plastic material blade 1 being transparent or not, or of metal or other kind of material, having an elastic structure and being con- sistent and having such a shape as to adhere to the outer surface of glasses of any shape following to striction on the upper edge of one or more back e- lastic elements 2, or of a small pincer or similar. A main feature of the present invention consists of the presence of a plurality of spaces or areas 3 and 4, provided on the outer and inner surfaces of bla¬ de 1 for the identification by means of numbers and/ or initials, with different colours as well as di- stinctive symbols, names, marks, paintings or other. In possible structural variants the object of the present invention may assume a space shape with two or more spaces or faces eventually lenticular so as to comprise more wordings, immages, names, initials symbols, marks, colours or other. In a further variant, the object of the present in¬ vention may be realiwed in the shape of an eventual- ly elastic band that will surround the whole or part or the glass . The object of the present invention may further show one or more small balls or other objects su- spended to blade 1 with element 2 of application to the glass. Still a further variant may be the one of apply¬ ing to the glass an eventual selfadherent label of appropriate shape and material, that may be removed and newly used. Relating to figure 5, the marker shows in a pos¬ sible variant, beyond areas or spaces 3 and 4, al- so a space 5 for the hand writing of the names of the guests, having then the function of place mar¬ kers. The last variant provided by the present invention concerns the application of the device to the glass, by means of suckers or similar, that allows a mul¬ tiple use of the same. A considerable advantage of the marker according to the present invention consists in that being the same probably promoted by the industry in great numbers and therefore not very expensive, if taken away by the users it does not miss its purpose of sending publicity messages, which purpose on the contrary is supported by a large distribution.
