Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a beverage container for infants, which makes it easy for infants to remember how to drink with a glass.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a beverage container used by an infant, parts such as a mouthpiece and a straw are attached to the opening of the container as the child grows up. There is a training that is performed in stages.

[0003] By the way, after infants can drink milk or juice while holding a beverage container such as a baby bottle by themselves, it is necessary to train as a next step how to drink with a cup. In the case where the mouthpiece is attached to the beverage container, since the mouthpiece is provided in the center of the lid, it is completely different from the way of drinking with a cup.

[0004] Therefore, a training-type beverage container has been proposed in which a mouthpiece is provided outside the center of the container so as to approach a drinking method close to a cup. However, such a thing is difficult to clean because the mouthpiece and the lid are integral and the mouthpiece cannot be removed, and the mouthpiece part is made of a hard material. There are problems such as difficulty in familiarity.

[0005] In view of the above, the present invention has made it possible to use a soft material that is easy to remove and easily clean, and that can easily be used as a mouth of an infant. It is intended to obtain a beverage container for infants.
