Abstract

A drip-less vessel has a flange at its upper end which is angled at about 30.degree. with respect to the horizontal, a ramp of approximately 3/8" located behind the junction of the inner surface and the edge of the vessel, and a smooth internal contour with direction changing surfaces blended into one another so as to avoid sharp or noticeable protrusions which could be sensed by the sensitive tissues of the mouth of a user.
