Collapsible cup assembly

Abstract

A collapsible cup assembly includes a cup that may contain a food item. The cup is positionable in a collapsed position and an extended position. A lid is removably coupled to the cup such that the lid closes the cup. A pair of clips is provided and each of the clips is coupled to the lid. A utensil is provided. The utensil may be manipulated thereby facilitating the food item to be consumed. The utensil is positionable between the clips such that the clips removably retain the utensil on the lid.

1 . A collapsible cup assembly comprising:
 a cup being configured to contain a food item, said cup has a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, said peripheral wall being coextensive with an outer edge of said bottom wall, said peripheral wall having a distal edge with respect to said bottom wall, said distal edge defining an opening into said cup, said peripheral wall having a lip extending outwardly from said distal edge, said lip being coextensive with said distal edge, said peripheral wall being pleated between said bottom wall and said distal edge wherein said cup is positionable in a collapsed position and an extended position, wherein said distal edge is urged downwardly toward said bottom wall when said cup is positioned in said collapsed position, said distal edge being urged upwardly from said bottom wall when said cup is positioned in said extended position;   a lid being removably coupled to said cup such that said lid closes said cup, said lid has a top wall and a perimeter wall extending away from said top wall, said perimeter wall being coextensive with an outer edge of said top wall, said perimeter wall having an inner surface and a distal edge with respect to said top wall, said top wall having a bottom surface, said top wall has an aperture extending therethrough wherein said aperture is configured to have a straw extended therethrough;   a pair of clips, each of said clips being coupled to said lid; and   a utensil being configured to be manipulated thereby facilitating the food item to be consumed, said utensil being positionable between said clips such that said clips removably retain said utensil on said lid.

         4 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein further comprising said inner surface having a groove extending outwardly therein, said groove being coextensive with said distal edge corresponding to said lid. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , wherein:
 said cup has a lip; and   said lip on said cup frictionally engaging said groove when said lid is positioned on said cup such that said lid is removably retained on said cup.   
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein
 said lid has a top wall, said top wall having a bottom surface; and   each of said clips has a leg and a foot, said leg of each of said clips being coupled to said bottom surface of said top wall, said clips being spaced apart from each other having said foot of each of said clips being directed toward each other.   
     
     
         7 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said utensil has a scoop and a handle, said handle being hingedly coupled to said scoop, said utensil being positionable in an extended position having said handle extending away from said scoop, said utensil being positionable in a folded position having said handle lying on said scoop. 
     
     
         8 . A collapsible cup assembly comprising:
 a cup being configured to contain a food item, said cup having a bottom wall and a peripheral wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, said peripheral wall being coextensive with an outer edge of said bottom wall, said peripheral wall having a distal edge with respect to said bottom wall, said distal edge defining an opening into said cup, said peripheral wall having a lip extending outwardly from said distal edge, said lip being coextensive with said distal edge, said peripheral wall being pleated between said bottom wall and said distal edge, said cup being positionable in a collapsed position having said distal edge being urged downwardly toward said bottom wall, said cup being positionable in an extended position having said distal edge being urged upwardly from said bottom wall;   a lid being removably coupled to said cup such that said lid closes said cup, said lid having a top wall and a perimeter wall extending away from said top wall, said perimeter wall being coextensive with an outer edge of said top wall, said perimeter wall having an inner surface and a distal edge with respect to said top wall, said top wall having a bottom surface, said inner surface having a groove extending outwardly therein, said groove being coextensive with said distal edge corresponding to said lid, said lip on said cup frictionally engaging said groove when said lid is positioned on said cup such that said lid is removably retained on said cup, said top wall having an aperture extending therethrough wherein said aperture is configured to have a straw extended therethrough;   a pair of clips, each of said clips having a leg and a foot, said leg of each of said clips being coupled to said bottom surface of said top wall, said clips being spaced apart from each other having said foot of each of said clips being directed toward each other; and   a utensil being configured to be manipulated thereby facilitating the food item to be consumed, said utensil having a scoop and a handle, said handle being hingedly coupled to said scoop, said utensil being positionable in an extended position having said handle extending away from said scoop, said utensil being positionable in a folded position having said handle lying on said scoop, said utensil being positionable between said clips when said utensil is positioned in said folded position such that said clips removably retains said utensil on said lid.
