Abstract
A stackable cup having a rigid handle with an open top, the open top shaped and dimensioned to receive a complementary handle of a stackable cup of the like such that one or more cups may be angularly stacked, the cup having a lip projecting from the open top and extending outwardly to a circular rim, which in turn extends downwardly to define the drinking cup.
Claims4
A stackable drinking cup comprising:
- a rigid elongate handle having a side wall and an open top, the open top shaped and dimensioned to receive a lower end of a complementary handle of a stackable cup of the like to permit stacking of two or more cup handles of the like, wherein the rigid handle has a ruffled surface to provide gliding clearance between a handle inner surface and a handle outer surface of a cup of the like during insertion and separation of the handles, the ruffled surface being defined by concentric stepped sections having progressively smaller diameters from the top of the handle towards the bottom of the handle;
- and
- a lip projecting laterally from the open top and extending transversely outwards from the open top to define a generally circular rim, the rim extending integrally downwardly to define the drinking cup such that the two or more cups are angularly variably stackable about an axis defined by the handles of the two or more cups.
