A right circular cone and an oblique circular cone A double cone (not shown infinitely extended) 3D model of a cone. A cone is a three-dimensional geometric shape that tapers smoothly from a flat base (frequently, though not necessarily, circular) to a point called the apex or vertex that is not contained in the base.
Boy holding a Schultüte. A Schultüte (German pronunciation: [ˈʃuːlˌtyːtə] ⓘ, "school cone"), also known as a Zuckertüte (German pronunciation: [ˈtsʊkɐˌtyːtə] ⓘ, "sugar cone") in some parts of Germany, is a large cone-shaped, cornucopia-styled container made of paper, cardboard, or plastic.
Cones and pyramids can be viewed as degenerate cases of frusta, where one of the cutting planes passes through the apex (so that the corresponding base reduces to a point). The pyramidal frusta are a subclass of prismatoids. Two frusta with two congruent bases joined at these congruent bases make a bifrustum.
Paper-based cones account for approximately 85% of the cones sold worldwide. The ability of paper (cellulose) to be easily modified by chemical or mechanical means gives it a practical processing advantage not found in other common cone materials. The purpose of the cone/surround assembly is to accurately reproduce the voice coil signal waveform.
General parameters used for constructing nose cone profiles. Given the problem of the aerodynamic design of the nose cone section of any vehicle or body meant to travel through a compressible fluid medium (such as a rocket or aircraft, missile, shell or bullet), an important problem is the determination of the nose cone geometrical shape for optimum performance.

A snow cone or sno cone is a frozen dessert made of crushed or shaved ice, flavored with brightly colored syrup, usually fruit-flavored, served in a paper cone or cup.
