[0011]

[Third Embodiment] FIG. 5 shows a simple small cup similar to that of the second embodiment, in which a groove-shaped thin portion 10 is provided in the vicinity of the center of the connecting flexible piece 8.
Then, the protrusion 11 and the hole 12 are provided at symmetrical positions with respect to the thin portion 10, and the protrusion 11 and the hole 12 are similar in cross section, and the outer diameter of the protrusion 11 is larger than the inner diameter of the hole 12. It has a slightly larger size and can be fitted and locked to each other.

The simple small cup of this embodiment is, for example, P
This is an integral injection-molded product made of a soft synthetic resin such as E or PP, and the drinker first bends the tubular portion 1 upward with the thin portion 10 as the center to fit and lock the protrusion 11 and the hole 12.
Then, the content may be sucked from the container B into the small cup and then sucked up from the holding portion B, but at this time, the content does not adhere to the outer side of the upper lip and is unsightly. And since it does not require a separate straw etc., it is easy to carry without worrying about loss, and because the tubular part is held in a state that it is inserted in a small cup, the drinker can use it quickly and is convenient. good.
