filed. by me April 18, 1924.
An object of the present invention is to provide an improved cup of the class referred to which will permit of the nesting of the cups together in a stack in a dispensing device and that can be readily gripped and withdrawn singly from the dis enser.
. Another object of the inventlon is to providean improved cup of the collapsible type possessing the characteristic referred to,
which will be strongly reinforced, and which willbe of a satisfactory eflicientn ature and inexpensive to manufacture.
The invention, with other objects and advantages thereof, and' the particular construction, combination and arrangement. of parts comprising the same, will be understood from the hereinafter contained detail description when considered in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part hereof and illustrating'one embodiment of the invention.
' Inthe drawings:

:4 of-Figure e.
--...;,Ei'g'."8"'is atransverse section onthe line if of Figurelil -ustrated in 'the drawings, the cup shown is of flat or collapsible form constructed from 0, a si l bl k of paper or other material suitable for the purpose, the blankQA being.
shown in Figure 5. The blank is adapted to be folded transversely on the line 1 and thence folded longitudinally on-the converging lines 2, 3, to provide downwardly tapermg front and back walls 4, 5, vof the cup joined at their lower ends and each having= V integral side flap extensions 6, 7 also joined at their lower ends. The flap extensions 6 of theback wall 5 are shown of e'neral'rectangular shape slightly enlarge the back wall 5, and the flap extensions 7 overlapplng the flap extensions .6 and being se-j cured to the back wall 5 as well as to the flap. extensions 6. The side flap extensions 6, 7, formed integral with the front and back walls 4, 5, of the cup extending throughout the full length of said front and'back walls, as 76 shown, and folded and secured, as set'forth, afiord efiicient sealing connections at the sides of' the cup, said flap extensions also serving to reinforce and brace the cup structure in w adjoining the flap extensions 7, the latter flap extensions an eflicient way, the flap extensions 7 broadening out toward thebase of the cup and extending well toward the central part thereof. At either end the blank A has portions which are folded outwardly back upon the front wall 5 and back wall 4 of the cup providing transversely extending reinforcing ' fla'ps 8, 9, at the top part of the cup. These flaps 8, 9, are preferably secured by adhesive to thefront and back walls 4, 5, the fla 8 Overlapping and being secured to the side ap extensions 7 as shown, as wellas to the back Wall5 of the cup. Fig. '7 is alongitudinal sectlon on the km .The cup, as shown, hasdownwardly converging side edges and is adapted to be nested with similar cups in a stack'and held withina dispensin device. a e
he cup. is prOvi ed at its bottom part with ax-handle ortion 10 providing for the easy, ready wit drawal of the cups singly from a stack of the cups within a dispensing device,
said handle portion being formed by a transverse fold of a bottom section of the cup body extending laterally to one side thereof as shown inFigure 4. In the particular construction shown the fold that forms the handle portion ismadeon the line 11, see Figure 5. The handle fold 10 extends through the full width of the cup body including the lower portion of the side flap extensions 6, 7, so that a strong, eflicient handle portion is afforded, said handle fold also serving as reinforcing means for the cup body. The handle portion 10, as shown in Figure 4 normallyprojects away from the side of the on to be conveniently gripped between the ngers. When the cups are nested the handle portion 10 folds against the adjoining side wall of the cup.
In Figures 6 and 7 of the drawings is illustrated one form a of dispensing device adapted to dispense cups of the improved donstruction of the present invention. B designates the dispensing device and a designates the cups having the handle portions 10. The dispensing device B is in the form of a carton of substantially flat form providedwith closure flaps bb at its ends, the carton being adapted to have the cups a introduced therein through the upper end thereof. The dispensing device B is provided near its lower end with yieldable cup supporting and separating means, shown in ,this instance, as comprising yieldable membersc constructed of rubber or other suitable materialfsecuredwithin the carton B at the sides thereof by suitable means, such as bolts and nuts 11, 12, as shown. As will be understood the yieldablg members a are adapted to engage the angular side edges of the cups a, acting to support the stack of cups and providing for the withdrawal 0 the cups one by one from the dispensing d vice by a downward pull thereupon as the cups are successively presented in terminal position at the lower end of the dispenser. J
It will be noted that by the particular con struction hereinbefore set forth, a colla sible cup is provided in w lnch the connectio s of the front and back walls are such as to prevent leakage, and eflicient reinforcing means is provided, the resulting structure being of a satisfactory,'eflicient nature that can be roduced at low cost. The handle portion 0 the cup formed by a transverse fold of a lower end sectlon of the cup is of a strong, eflicient character, the same being ada ted to be conveniently 'pped between t e fingers and provlding or readily withdrawing the cups singly from a dispenser, at the same time the handle fold serves as a transverse reinforce at the lower part of the cup and the structure is such as to not interefere with the nesting of the cups.
' While a specific embodiment of the in- 'vention is illustrated in the drawings, it will of course be nderstood that changes and variations may be made in the particular con- .struction of cup shown as will a peal to those skilled in the art and falling within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit of the invention, and of course any form of dispenser suitable for the purpose may be employed for dispensing and constituting a handle portion, and said handle portion lying flat against the adj oining side wall of the cup when the cup is nested within another cup.
