Patent attributes
The present invention provides a cup shaped container that can be squashed to be compact by hand when disposing after use. The cup shaped container includes a skeletal member made from synthetic resin material and having a ring-like part at the upper end, a shallow saucer-like bottom part at the lower end and columnar parts for connecting the ring-like part and the bottom part, and a blank sheet attached to the skeletal member to wrap the periphery between the ring-like part at the upper end and the bottom part at the lower end of the skeletal member. Each columnar part has, on its inner surface, an indented part formed in the neighborhood of the middle of the columnar part, and protrusions and depressions of the indented part are formed at an equally spaced pitch in an up and down direction of the columnar part.
