Abstract:
A spill resistant disposable cup is comprised of a sheet of flexible material rolled into a cylindrical or frustoconical shape sealed at its edges and with a sealed bottom. The cup has at least three tabs that can be folded down in an overlapping manner to close the top of the cup. The tabs contain an interlocking mechanism to lock folded tabs in place. Two of the tabs are spaced apart to define a gap and a drinking opening when the tabs are folded down. The tabs can be shaped to form an internal sealing edge that provides resistance from leakage and spills if the cup is tipped when full.

Claim (Index 1):
A drinking cup comprising:\n a body have a top, a bottom, and a central axis a plurality of circumferentially arranged tabs extending from the body including at least first second and third tabs extending from the top of the body, the first, second and third tabs each being foldable towards the central axis along a respective fold line, each tab having a respective periphery having first and second edge regions extending from the respective fold line and along the respective periphery, the first, second and third tabs at least partially overlapping when folded along the respective fold lines; the first edge regions of the first and second tabs being spaced apart at the respective fold lines to form a gap between the first and second fold lines defining a drinking edge; the first and second tabs being configured so that when the first and second flaps are folded in an overlapping manner and the third flap is folded over the first and second flaps, a drinking opening is defined by the drinking edge and at least part of the first edge regions of the first and second tabs.
