  • Patent number: 5660292
    Abstract: A cup is provided including a generally cylindrical reservoir member having distal and proximal ends and a sidewall disposed between the ends, the distal end defining a bottom surface of the reservoir member, the proximal end defining an opening in the reservoir member. A handle structure is affixed to sidewall. The handle structure includes opposing first and second generally horizontal portions fixed to and extending from the sidewall structure, the first portion being joined with the second portion. The handle structure also includes a substantially vertical plate affixed to the horizontal portions so that the vertical plate is disposed therebetween, the vertical plate being disposed between the sidewall and the vertical member such that a lateral distance from the vertical plate to the sidewall is less than a lateral distance from the vertical plate to the vertical member, so as to isolate the user's fingers from contact with the sidewall.
