Abstract: The invention concerns a drinking cup intended for repeated use. The cup is manufactured from a resilient and flexible plastics material.The cup comprises a lower cylindrical section, a thinner middle section, and an upper section which essentially has the shape of a truncated cone. The walls of this cone-shaped section may converge upwards. The upper section may be folded downwards, into the lower section, the middle section serving as the folding line.A handle is provided at the upper cup section. In the area where the handle is provided the upper section has a straight portion which imparts to the upper cup section a slightly oval shape, serving to make it easier to drink from the cup. In addition, the handle is formed at a rigid area of the upper section, whereby folding downwards of the upper section into the lower section is made easier.
