Abstract
A food or drink container more particularly with an integrally formed handle or handles which can be assembled from a stacking position to a position of use is described. In one construction the container (1) comprises a cup-shaped part (2) which tapers from an upper rim (3) to a cone or round shaped base (4) terminating in a base rim (5) with a cutaway portion (6) forming an angled edge (7). Extending radially from the upper rim (3) is a winged projection (8) the centre part (9) of which is horizontal to the upper rim. Two fold lines (10) are formed in the part (9) to facilitate the folding of two wings (12a, 12b) downwards as shown by arrows 'A'. The edge walls (13) of the wings (12a, 12b) engage and abut each other in their fully folded down position to form a resilient handle.
Claims
1. A food or drink container comprising a cup-shaped part formed with integral winged projections which can be folded from a stacking position for the container into a handle to hold and support the cup-shaped part, wherein the winged projections are hinged to mate and form a hollow tube section having means to lock the free end of the handle to the cup-shaped part to simulate a conventional handle with an aperture for the finger and thumb of the user.
2. A container as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the hollow tube section has a rectangular, round, oval or octagonal cross-section.
3. A container as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the container is made from a plastics material by an injection moulding process.
4. A container as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the winged projections extend radially from the rim of the cup-shaped part to facilitate nesting of a plurality of the containers.
5. A container as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the cup-shaped part has two winged projections extending radially from opposite sides of the rim of the cup-shaped part.
6. A container as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the means to lock the handle is an angle-shaped part with a series of parallel lateral grooves which clip onto a shoulder of the base of the cup-shaped part of the container.
7. A container as claimed in any preceding claim, wherein the winged projections of the handle are swung downwards to form the handle.
8. A container as claimed in any of Claims 1 to 6, wherein the winged projections of the handle are swung upwards to form the handle.
9. A container as claimed in any preceding claim. wherein the winged projections have locking means to secure the winged projections together.
10. A container as claimed in Claim 9, wherein the locking means are a pin on one winged projection engaging a hole in the other winged projection.
11. A food or drink container substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to Figs. 1 to 5 or Figs. 6 and 7 of the accompanying drawings.
