A cup 1 and a container assembly including the cup 1 are predominantly moulded in plastics. The cup has a bowl 2 with a cylindrical portion 4 having a rim 5 and from which extends a conical portion 6. External flanges 20B and 21B are provided on the conical portion 6 and internal flanges 10 and 11 are provided on the portion 4 so that two cups 1 and 1A can be bayonet fitted together by engagement of the internal flanges 10, 11 of one cup with the external flanges 20B and 21B respectively of the other cup. Co-operation between an abutment face of the internal flange 11 and an external projection 30 provides stop means which reacts between the two cups to predetermine a rotational condition of the two cups. Securing means provided by co-operation of a stud 35 and dimple 36 between the two cups maintains the cups at said predetermined condition of rotation. The cup may have a handle 28 and when the stop means and securing means is effective the handles 8 of the two cups are in alignment. A cup 1 engages as a bayonet fit on the container body 41 in an identical manner to the bayonet fit provided between the two cups 1 and 1A. The container 40 may have a handle 47 and securing means and stop means provided between the container and the cup fitted thereto (similarly to between the cups 1 and 1A) preferably locates the cup handles 8 and container handle 47 in alignment.

A cup for a container comprising a bowl having a substantially central axis, first retaining means located within the bowl and extending from an internal face thereof, second retaining means located externally of the bowl and extending from an external face thereof, said first and second retaining means being arranged so that two said cups can be disposed and fitted together with the bowl of a first cup partly received axially within the bowl of the second cup and relative rotation between the two cups about said axis moves the first retaining means of the second cup into co-operation with the second retaining means of the first cup to firmly engage the two cups together and retain them against being separated axially.
