In der in Figur 2, untere Hälfte, gezeigten Offenstellung B greift das hintere Gegeneingriffselement
G der Verschlusskappe K hinter das Eingriffselement E des Trinkhalms 1,
und ist der Kappenboden 12 von der Trinkhalmmündung 3 wegbewegt.In the open position B shown in FIG. 2, lower half, the rear counter-engagement element engages
G of the closure cap K behind the engagement element E of the
Es ist anzumerken, dass zumindest die Schließstellung A form- und/oder kraftschlüssig definiert sein sollte. Hingegen braucht die Öffnungsstellung B oder irgendeine Öffnungsstellung nicht unbedingt durch eine Rastverbindung definiert zu sein, weil der Benutzer ohnedies eine ihm gerade passende Öffnungsstellung wählen kann.It should be noted that at least the closed position A is positive and / or non-positive should be defined. On the other hand, the open position needs B or any open position not necessarily to be defined by a snap connection because of the user can choose a suitable opening position anyway.
In der Ausführungsform in Figur 3 sind auf dem Trinkhalm 1 zwei axial beabstandete
Eingriffselemente E, jeweils in Form eines Außenringwulstes 4, 14 angeformt, während
die Verschlusskappe K nur das endseitige Gegeneingriffselement G in Form eines Innenwulstes

B eindeutig definieren. Die Verschlusskappe K kann, wie gezeigt, mit dem eingeschnürten
Abschnitt 9 zur besseren Abdichtung der Trinkhalmmündung 3 ausgestattet
sein.In the embodiment in FIG. 3 there are two axially spaced apart on the
In Figur 4 ist eine Ausführungsform angedeutet, bei der das Eingriffselement E des
Trinkhalms 1 eine umlaufende Nut 15 ist, in welche das als Innenringwulst 8 ausgebildete
Gegeneingriffselement der Verschlusskappe K einrastbar ist, um die maximale Öffnungsstellung
B zu definieren. In der Schließstellung A verformt das Gegeneingriffselement
G gegebenenfalls den Außenumfang des Trinkhalms 1, einerseits um eine zufriedenstellende
Ausrichtung der Verschlusskappe K auf dem Trinkhalmende zu gewährleisten,
andererseits um die Haltewirkung des Abschnitts 9 auf dem Trinkhalmende zu
unterstützen.In Figure 4, an embodiment is indicated in which the engaging element E of the
Analog zu Figur 3 könnte auch in Figur 4 ein zweites Eingriffselement E in Form einer Ringnut 15 im Trinkhalmende geformt sein.Analogously to FIG. 3, a second engagement element E in the form of a Ring groove 15 may be formed in the end of the straw.
Der Trinkhalm T kann unabhängig von irgendeinem Getränkebehälter bereitgestellt werden und ist bereits mit der Verschlusskappe ausgestattet. Ferner kann der Trinkhalm mit aufgesteckter Verschlusskappe an dem Getränkebehälter in üblicher Weise angebracht sein, Da die Verschlusskappe nur auf dem Trinkhalmende selbst angebracht wird, kann der Trinkhalm soweit in den jeweiligen Getränkebehälter eingeschoben oder aus diesem herausgezogen werden, wie es vom Benutzer als angenehm angesehen wird. Dabei leistet die aufgesteckte Verschlusskappe eine zusätzliche Sicherheitsfunktion, weil das unabsichtliche vollständige Hineinschieben des Trinkhalms in den Getränkebehälter verhindert wird. Auch bei Benutzung des Trinkhalms mit einer Flasche ermöglicht die aufgesteckte Verschlusskappe das Halten des Trinkhalmendes an der Flaschenmündung, wenn der nach außen vorstehende Rand der Verschlusskappe auf der Flaschenmündung anliegt.The drinking straw T can be provided independently of any beverage container and is already equipped with the sealing cap. The drinking straw can also be used attached cap attached to the beverage container in the usual way Since the cap can only be attached to the end of the straw itself the drinking straw is pushed as far into or out of the respective beverage container pulled out as it is considered comfortable by the user. there the attached cap provides an additional safety function because that prevents unintentional complete pushing of the drinking straw into the beverage container becomes. Even when using the drinking straw with a bottle, the attached allows Cap holding the end of the straw at the bottle mouth, if the outwardly protruding edge of the cap on the bottle mouth is present.
