Abstract
A pileable cup provided with a lid, particularly intended for portioning medicine in solid state, consists of an outer wall conically tapering from an open bottom, the outer wall at an upper edge being folded into an inner wall conically tapering towards the open bottom, which inner wall merges into a closed bottom which is spaced apart from said open bottom inside the outer wall. The lid abuts adhesively but removeably against said upper edge and forms together with the inner wall and the closed bottom a space for the medicine. Inside the upper edge the lid is provided with an underlayer of a non-adhesive material. The lid preferably consists of a layer of white paper provided with an adhesive material and an underpaper which can be silicone-treated. Data of patients and kinds of medicine can easily and quickly be printed or otherwise marked on the lids.
