    @cbabyak - good call on the audio/visual/tactile confirmation for a sense of security.

    There's something cool about this hockey stick design if it could be made to work. The troubles I foresee are in a leaky or hard to clean hinge area that looks like it is immersed in the liquid when open. I can't fully gather what parts are in contact with the liquid when deployed, but if they are external parts that can become dirty before use and then coffee is poured onto the dirty surface it would need to be rethought. The other thing is stability of the unfolded accordion fins. If one was to grasp the cup would it give? Also, would the fins unfold fully or be like a cupcake insert when open? Just some things to consider in the overall design. Good initial concept.

    i dont know how well this would work with hot coffee. i think the lip of the cup needs to be fairly sturdy.

    however i was just thinking that this would be an AWESOME idea for camping/ hiking/ travel/outdoor activities! i would so buy some for going back packing!

    Yeah i understand the concept isn't resolved or refined.

    I believe that the only way we are going to reuse cups on our person, is to have them as compact as possible.

    This concept takes a whole new approach on collapsible cup design.

    This is perhaps the most unusual folding/collapsing design that has been submitted. I think there is potential here for further development.

    Good luck.

    I think your folding principle is interesting Do you have a prototype or have you tried with some paper? It would be fun to know if you have made some tests iRL. Best of luck!

    /Katarina, check out my idea Cuptokeep for a different folding technic :-)
