Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a packaging for a liquid product equipped with a straw which allows a consumer to consume in an easy and hygiene-saving manner the liquid product filling the packaging.
  • Packaging for liquid products in the form of a container in metal, cardboard and plastics material of various shapes and with hermetic sealing are widely diffused.
  • the consumer which wishes to consume the product opens the packaging by pulling up a tab or by puncturing the side of the packaging itself and by inserting a straw, if any, so as to allow the product to be consumed in a more practical manner.
  • the already known packaging called "brick packs" are made of a container in cardboard provided with a pliable point in its upper part which is punctured by the consumer, which then introduces a straw which is found separately or glued to a side of the container.
  • the insertion of the straw in the container involves some risks of contaminating the straw end which, when the pliable point is punctured, draws traces of dirt, if any, present in the punctured area inside the container and, consequently, also contaminates the product into which the straw has been inserted.
  • a packaging according to the present invention is suitable to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks as it fully respects the hygiene standards for safeguarding the health of the consumer and, at the same time, it is economical and simple to use.
  • the present invention refers to a packaging for liquid products equipped with a straw, comprising a container and a cover hermetically connected each other, where the straw is incorporated within the packaging and is isolated by the cover from the external environment; the lower end of the straw is always immersed in the liquid product filling the container.
  • the present invention refers to a packaging for liquid products equipped with a straw, comprising a container and a cover hermetically connected each other, where the straw is incorporated within the packaging and is insulated by the cover from the external environment; the lower end of the straw is always immersed in the liquid product filling the container.
  • the container and the straw are produced at the same time in a manner not disclosed therein as it is known to any person skilled in the art, the container constituting a single unit with the straw.
  • the upper end of the straw i.e. the end of the straw used by the consumer to consume the product, is positioned in a groove realised in the upper edge of the container and at least partially closed by a tab, belonging to the cover, to be lifted up from the groove to allow the upper end of the straw to protrude from the packaging.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of a packaging 1 according to the present invention, comprising the container 3, the cover 4 and the straw 5; the lower end 6 of the straw 5 is so positioned into the container 3 to be always immersed in the liquid product (not shown in the enclosed figures to simplify the graphical representation) which fills the container 3.
  • the packaging 1 has a substantially parallelepiped shape and the straw 5 is positioned into a "L"-shaped groove realised in the upper edge 2 of the container 3.
  • the upper end 8 of the straw 5 is positioned in a first portion 10 of the "L"-shaped groove, realised in a transversal side 7 of the upper edge 2 of the container 3 and closed by the tab 9 belonging to the cover 4; the lower end 6 of the straw 5 is positioned in a second portion of the "L"-shaped groove, provided in a longitudinal side of the upper edge 2 of the container 3 and so inclined that the lower end 6 of the straw 5, protruding from the second portion of the "L"-shaped groove, remains always immersed in the liquid product.
  • the first portion 10 of the "L"-shaped groove is orthogonal to the second one.
  • the first portion 10 of the "L"-shaped groove wherein the upper end 8 of the straw 5 is positioned is shown in figure 2 and (by a dashed line) in figure 4, while in figures 1, 3 and 5 it is covered by the upper portion 8 of the straw 5;
  • the second portion of the "L"-shaped groove wherein the lower end 6 of the straw 5 is positioned is shown in figure 3 and (by a dashed line) in figure 5, while in figures 1, 2 and 4 it is covered by the lower portion 6 of the straw 5.
  • the upper end 8 of the straw 5 can be extracted from the first portion 10 of the "L"-shaped groove manually: said manual extraction involves risks of contamination as set forth above.
  • the automatic protrusion of the upper end 8 of the straw 5 is achieved by fixing in a known manner the straw 5 in the "L"-shaped groove with its upper end 8 protruding from the lateral side 7 of the upper edge 2 of the container 3 as shown in figure 2 and by forcing the upper end 8 of the straw 5 into the first portion 10 of the "L"-shaped groove: the upper end 8 of the straw 5 is therefore lightly pre-loaded by the elastic contrasting action exerted by the expandable part 11 of the straw 5.
  • the tab 9, once lifted up for opening the packaging 1, cannot be removed from the packaging 1.
  • Figures 3, 4 and 5 show , respectively, the packaging of figure 1 sectioned according to planes III-III, IV-IV and V-V of figure 1; said figures clearly show the straw 5 positioned into the "L"-shaped groove realised in the upper edge 2 of the container 3 and the lower end 6 of the straw 5 protruding from the "L"-shaped groove inside the container 3 so as to be always immersed in the liquid filling the container 3.
  • figures 1 to 5 show that at least a lateral side of the substantially parallelepiped-shaped container 3 provides for one or more hollow or indentations 12 for achieving a more ergonomic hold of the packaging 1 by the consumer when the liquid product is being consumed but said one or more hollows or indentations 12 can be omitted without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • Figures 6 to 8 show a second embodiment of a packaging 1, comprising the cylindrical-shaped container 13 and the cover 16 hermetically connected each other; the upper end 15 of the straw 14 is positioned in a groove 18 realised in the cover 16 of the packaging 1, while the lower end of the straw 14 is positioned inside the cylindrical container 13 and remains always immersed in the liquid, not shown to simplify the graphical representation.
  • the cover 16 provides for a tab 17, which covers in a hermetic manner the groove 18 wherein the upper end 15 of the straw 14 is positioned, so as to protect it from the external environment (figure 6).
  • the upper end 15 of the straw 14 can be extracted from the groove 18 manually, said manual extraction involving risks of possible contamination as set forth above.
  • the tab 17, once lifted up for opening the packaging 1, cannot be removed from the packaging 1.
  • the container 13 is produced (in a manner not disclosed therein as it is known to any person skilled in the art) at the same time as the straw 14, the straw 14 and the container 13 being united each other as to constitute a single unit.
  • the lower end of the straw (5, 14) is composed of a channel made directly on a side of the container (3, 13) by a forming process.
