ABSTRACT:
Novelly improved drinking vessels of the type adapted for selective preferential or essentially mandatory usage by and while a user is in either a partially or fully reclined position. The vessels may be either of the handled cup-like type, or of the non-handled generally conventional drinking glass type, but which embody an integrally formed open-trough-like spout projecting laterally from one side of the vessels by which liquid is conveyed to a user. The spouts have uniquely and novelly-contoured lip or mouth engageable outward terminal edges and specially curved liquid-spill-resistant side walls of the spout to facilitate improved spill resistant complemental mating with a user's lips. The handled cup-like vessels are provided with the novelly improved spouts in variously disposed 90.degree., 180.degree., and 270.degree. positions relative to the handle, thereby facilitating use by both left and right handed users, as well as by an attendant on duty with a potential user for straight ahead auxiliary usage by the user and attendant.
