  • Publication number: 20160090216
    Abstract: An invertible segmented consumption container that inverts to allow for facilitated cleaning of an inner surface. A top section of the container comprises of a rigid material that separates from a bottom section. The top section is operable to engage a lid for containing a liquid. The bottom section is operable to retain the liquid for consumption. The bottom section is comprised of a flexible material. The invertibility of the bottom section creates access to the inner surface for facilitated cleaning. When the rigid top section separates from the flexible bottom section, the bottom section may invert into itself. A rigid collar joins the top section with the bottom section, and provides a perimeter framework for drinking the liquid. The bottom section is also collapsible to provide compact storage and portability. A seal facilitating structure, receiver and notch forms to provide a leak resistant sealed container.
