A cup is disclosed which is nestable on the end of a hiker\s plastic bottle. The cup has a handle which is movable between a stored position in which it nests around the outside of the cup body and a use position in which the handle extends out radially from the cup sidewall. The handle has a third position, reversed from the second, in which the handle loops up over the mouth of the cup from one side on the cup lip to a diametrically opposite site to provide a bail for suspended support of the cup, e.g. for hanging the cup over a fire. A pouch may be provided for permitting the user to wear the compact stowed-handle/bottle-nested cup unit. The cup handle includes a doubled wire member with tangs that removably mount in a bracket provided on the cup sidewall. A slider is provided on the handle, this slider being movable between a position where the handle is relatively fixed to the cup and a position where the handle can be shifted or changed from one to another of its three positions.

A cup with an adjustably-positioned handle, comprising: a cup body having a bottom wall with an upstanding peripheral sidewall joined thereto, which sidewall terminates in a rim; bracket means exteriorly disposed on said sidewall and mounted thereto, said bracket means including means providing at least one pair laterally spaced, laterally opening pintle sockets, the sockets of each pair being disposed at a respective common level; for at least one said pair of sockets, two pair of laterally spaced groove means which open laterally one pair above and the other below said one pair of sockets; a handle comprising a generally U-shaped wire member of resilient material, said member having a base portion including a cross member and two generally parallel portions each joined to a respective end of the base portion and having a free end; a laterally directed pintle formed at each said free end, these two pintles extending in opposite directions generally on a common axis; said two generally parallel portions of said wire member being bent intermediate the longitudinal extent thereof at about right angles about an axis generally parallel to said common axis of said pintles so as to provide a bend in said handle and so as to define legs of said handle between said bend and said pintles; said pintles being removably received in said one pair of pintle sockets, with said legs being constructed and arranged to resiliently snap into one pair of said groove means when said handle is rotated about said pintle means to a use position wherein said handle, beyond said bend from said legs projects generally radially outwards from said sidewall of said cup body and to resiliently snap into said other pair of said groove means when said handle is rotated about said pintle means to a storage position wherein said handle, beyond said bend from said legs projects generally diametrically across the underside of said bottom wall of said cup body; a slider slidably mounted on said generally parallel portions of said handle beyond said bend, said slider including a substantially incompressible strut extending laterally between said two generally parallel portions and two opposite barrel portions curled about respective ones of said two generally parallel portions, said slider being constructed and arranged to be manually slid between a first portion nearer said base of said handle, in which case said legs may be resiliently moved close enough together to clear the respective said groove means, so that the handle may be rotated out of whichever of said storage position and use position that it is in, and a second position nearer said bend, in which case said legs are braced apart and cannot clear the respective said groove means, so that the handle may be locked in whichever of said storage position and said use position that it is in; said two generally parallel portions of said wire member being provided with a second bend about an axis generally parallel to the first described bend, this second bend also being at about a right angle and being spaced from the first-described bend by a distance that is at least equal to the width of the bottom wall of the cup, so that when the handle is in said storage position thereof, said handle beyond said second bend extends up the outside of the cup sidewall at a site diametrically opposed to that of said bracket means; said slider being disposed between the first-described and second bends; said pintles being constructed and arranged to be so short that when said handle legs are resiliently squeezed close together when said slider is positioned close to the second bend, the handle may be completely separated from the cup body, reversed 180 degrees about an axis that is generally radially oriented relative to said cup body sidewall, and said pintles reinstalled in a set of said pintle sockets in this new orientation, whereby said handle may be rotated about said pintles to a third position, the last-mentioned said set of said pintle sockets being so positioned, heightwise, on said bracket means on said cup body sidewall, relative to the lengths of said legs of said handle between said bend and said pintles that, in said third position of said handle, said bend of said handle is disposed at a sufficiently high level in relation to said rim of said cup sidewall that said handle between said bend and said base arches bail-fashion over the cup body; said cup further including means on said cup body for holding said handle in said third position.
