Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a cup having a sidewall with transparent and graphic areas that display at least one image in a composite form when a second identical cup is stacked within the first cup in a specific orientation. The sidewall has at least two sections, each extending vertically from an upper portion to a lower portion of the sidewall. The first section includes at least one graphic area with a corresponding transparent area positioned adjacent to and above the graphic area. The second section includes at least one graphic area. The graphic area in the first section consists of a lower part of an image and the graphic area in the second section includes an upper part of the image. The transparent area is sized and shaped to match that of the graphic area in the second section and is positioned at a higher location along the sidewall than that of the graphic area of the second section. When a second identical cup is received within the first cup and rotated such that the first section of the first cup aligns and is overlapping the second section of the second cup, the upper part of the image contained within the graphic area of the second section of the second cup can be seen through the transparent are of the first cup. In this manner, the upper and lower parts of the image are displayed together in composite form.
