Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a so-called well draining obliquely inverted cup from which residual liquid in a cup body can be completely let flow down by obliquely inverting the cup after use. SOLUTION: This is a kind of cups made of glass, plastic, ceramic or the like. The cup main body 1 has an opening 2 for storing a liquid such as water or the like, and a support table part 3 is provided in the outer peripheral part thereof near the opening 2 and has a structure bent to have a hook-shaped side. Further, the support table part 3 has a base 3a forming an acute angle of inclination with the cup main body 1, and the base 3a is formed in a state intersecting perpendicularly to the vertical line to which the center of gravity W of the whole is applied as gravity in the obliquely inverted state. Accordingly, the cup main body can be obliquely inverted with a preset acute angle. When the angle α of inclination is small to excess, the cut is laid on its side, so that the draining effect is decreased and the effectiveness is lowered. Therefore, it is desirable that the angle α is near the right angles, but when it is near the right angles to excess, the stability is lowered. The angle is preferably about 50 deg.-30 deg., so that the draining effect is good and obliquely inversion is excellent in stability.
