Patent ID: 8322563

Claim:
An infant drinking cup comprising (a) a cup-shaped container having a container base from which upwardly extends side walling, said container base defining a base plane and said side walling defining a mouth of said cup-shaped container, wherein the side walling centres about an axis that extends at an angle from normal to the container base such that the cup-shaped container has a leaning form; and (b) provided to the cup-shaped container, a handle defining structure comprising a pair of handles extending from a lower portion of the cup-shaped container to an upper portion thereof such that said pair of handles support the cup-shaped container to prevent accidental tipping over thereof, wherein the pair of handles extend from a lower ring provided to the container base of the cup-shaped container to an upper rind provided to the mouth of the cup-shaped container, and wherein the lower ring defines a resting support portion that extends in said base plane and is arranged to define resting supporting contact with a planar support surface, and wherein the pair of handles define a tipping support portion that projects away from said resting support portion in or about the direction in which the cup-shaped container leans and is arranged to define supporting contact with a planar support surface when the cup-shaped container is tipped up during use thereof, and wherein the cup-shaped container is separable from the handle defining structure.
