CUP MADE OF A PAPER MATERIAL

摘要

A cup made of paper material having a fillable interior is provided. The cup is formed by a conical sleeve and a bottom. The bottom is attached to the sleeve at the lower end of the interior with a bottom skirt in an essentially liquid-tight way. The sleeve and/or the bottom in the area of the bottom skirt and/or the bottom skirt itself includes, at least in one area along the periphery, an outwardly projecting widening. A lower edge of the widening forms a standing surface for the cup. The widening can form a structure for holding another cup of the same type, which structure can act together with a similar cup during stacking. The cup can include a heat-insulting outer sleeve.

1. A cup made of a paper material and having a fillable interior, which is formed by a conical sleeve and a bottom, whereby the bottom is attached with a bottom skirt in an essentially liquid-tight way to the sleeve at the lower end of the interior, wherein the sleeve and/or the bottom in the area of the bottom skirt and/or the bottom skirt itself comprise at least in an area along the circumference an outwardly projecting widening, and a lower edge of the widening forms the standing surface for the cup, the bottom skirt comprising a second holding element formed by the widening, a first holding element being arranged on the sleeve defining the interior, which first holding element can act with a second holding element on a similar cup when said cups are stacked,
wherein the dimensions of the second holding element are adapted to the dimensions of the first holding element and the first holding element is a rib or a bead which is moulded in at least one area along the circumference in the sleeve defining the interior, wherein the diameter enclosing the first holding element is approximately as large as the diameter surrounding the area of the bottom contacting the interior.
