COLLAPSIBLE RECEPTACLE

摘要

A collapsible receptacle (10), such as a beverage cup, that Is reconfigurable between expanded and collapsed configurations with an inner sleeve (18) with first and second 5 opposed major walls (28) divided by opposed fold lines (32), an outer sleeve (14) with first and second opposed major walls (38) divided by opposed fold lines (42), and a liner (12) retained by the inner and outer sleeves (18, 14). The receptacle (10) is retained in an expanded configuration when the opposed fold lines (32, 42) of the inner and outer sleeves (18, 14) are not aligned, and the receptacle (10) can be collapsed when the opposed fold lines 10 (32, 42) are aligned. The opposed fold lines (32, 42) of the inner and outer sleeves (18, 14) can be disposed in groups, such as groups of two fold lines, so that the sleeves have opposed minor walls (30, 40).
