Abstract (en)

The present invention provides an obliquely invertible cup that is handy in that, after use, the cup body can be obliquely inverted to allow the liquid remaining therein to flow down for hygienically drying the cup and in that a number of such cups can be stacked so as to reduce a stacked volume when shipping and transporting. The obliquely invertible cup is a kind of cup made of glass, plastic, ceramic or the like, wherein the cup body 1 has a diameter of an opening 2 larger than a diameter of its bottom 5, and a support base 3 enabling the cup body to stand with the opening 2 of the cup body being tilted downward is formed on an intermediate portion of a semi-annular handle 4 connected to the periphery of the cup body 1 via an protruding upper portion 6 of the handle, while a lower portion 7 of the handle is disconnected to the cup body so as to form a discontinuous portion X. <IMAGE>
