ABSTRACT:
A hot cup made of paper has a handle-section that extends approximately 180 degrees about the circumference of the exterior surface of the hot cup. The handle-section is provided with a plurality of punched-out securing tabs, by which the handle-section is permanently connected to respective surface-portions of the exterior surface of the hot cup. Each tab is comprised of two sections: A first, flat section which is actually connected to the respective surface-portion of the exterior surface of the cup, and a second section connected to the first section by a fold-line, so that the second section of each tab may be rotated with respect to the first section. This arrangement allows the handle section to lie flat against the exterior surface of the cup when the cup is not being used, and allows a number of these cups to be stacked one inside the other for storage and shipping. This arrangement also allows one to pull the handle-section away from its flush, surface-to-surface contact with the exterior surface of the cup, so that, except for the first sections of the tabs, the handle-section is spaced from the exterior surface of the cup. This spacing of the handle-section allows a person to hold the cup by gripping the spaced handle-section, whereby the air between the cup's exterior surface and the handle-section provides a thermal barrier to the heat emanating from the hot liquid contents in the cup proper.
