<p>This invention relates to nestable drinking cups. A cup (1) comprises a base (2) having an integral peripheral upstanding wall (3) which together with the base (2) forms a liquid reservoir. The free end of the wall (3) is turned over to form an outwardly and downwardly extending collar (6) which extends circumjacent the upper part of the upwardly extending portion of wall (3) and is spaced therefrom. The collar (6) is so constructed that when the collar (6) is gripped by a user, it remains spaced from the upwardly extending portion of the wall (3). The collar (6) can be provided with strengthening features such as ribs (7) or an outwardly and downwardly inclined shoulder (13) or combination of these two, to increase the rigidity of the collar. The construction of the cup provides a cup which is comfortably and easily held by a user when it contains hot beverages and which is also economic to manufacture.</p> |
