Abstract:
This is a drink coaster which incorporates a mechanical means to expel condensation collected from a cold drink that is supported by the coaster. This coaster compromises an injection molded non fragile plastic top surface with a plurality of drain holes, a highly porous insert in the middle and a base recessed for the insert and extra condensation that may be collected from the beverages. The base snaps into the top surface which allows this coaster to be disassembled for easy cleaning or for the insert to be replaced. This disassembly of the coaster allows a more effective way of cleaning the coaster thoroughly to prevent mold or musty odors with its use. The mechanical portion of the coaster allows pushing upwards from the bottom of coaster which contacts the insert to expel excess condensation out thru the drain holes at the top of the coaster.
