MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611114876 A) filed by Chandigarh University on September 25, 2026, for A Dual-Action Variable Geometry Measuring Cup Employing An Elastomeric Deformable Inner Liner.
Inventors include Karan Kumar; Karan Singh Notte; and Pranjal Pal.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: A variable-volume measuring apparatus includes a rigid outer chassis, a continuous flexible food-grade silicone liner, an internal base plate, a threaded spindle and a rotating base dial. The outer chassis includes adjustable wall segments associated with guide tracks. Rotation of the base dial causes the threaded spindle to vertically displace the internal base plate while the guide tracks cause corresponding lateral displacement of the wall segments. The flexible silicone liner deforms in response to the coordinated vertical and lateral movements, thereby changing both the effective depth and lateral dimension of a food-containing region. The continuous liner separates ingredients from the mechanical actuation components and remains secured at an upper portion of the apparatus. The coordinated movement enables adjustment between different volume configurations through a single rotational input while providing corresponding changes in the geometry of the measuring region. A pouring spout may be provided at the upper rim for dispensing measured ingredients.
