ABSTRACT:
The receptacle is in the form of a cup having U-shaped handles extending laterally in opposite directions. The handles also incline upwardly and forwardly. Oriented with respect to the handles are two thumb rests that are engagable by the user's thumbs when the user's fingers are grasping the U-shaped handles. In this way, a handicapped person can firmly grasp the handles and thumb rests so as to manipulate the cup without assistance.
