Definitions

  • the invention relates to a reclosable drinking straw according to the preamble of claim 1 (see US-A-5 048 709).
  • From DE-A-195 25 620 is a pipe socket-shaped opener for a beverage cardboard packaging known, which contains an internal passage for the liquid and on the a removable cap sits at the free end.
  • a straw can be inserted with the end of the straw and the mouth of the drinking straw become.
  • the drinking straw can be indirectly closed by the cap, that is, for the closing function it is technically complex and for a large part of beverage bags or beverage cardboard packaging not necessary openers an essential requirement. This construction is technically complex and expensive.
  • the invention has for its object a reclosable drinking straw, in particular for flexible or semi-flexible beverage containers, to create the manufacturing technology simple and inexpensive and easy to use, that means very easy, is.
  • the one without connection with the beverage bag or the cardboard packaging directly on the Drinking straw attached cap has a double function, because on the one hand allows opening or closing of the drinking straw, and on the other hand one Pourer or a drinking mouthpiece forms.
  • the cap as soon as the end of the straw applied, is captively secured and easy to use because it only needs to be pushed in or out in the axial direction to the drinking straw mouth to seal or to allow pouring or drinking. By accordingly The distance of the can be pushed in or pulled out far Conveniently adjust the cap of the beverage container, with the poured out or is drunk. Disposal is unproblematic because the cap can be removed at any time from the end of the straw.
  • a locking connection between the closure cap and the is expedient Drinking straw end is provided to define the respective positions of the cap and also make it tangible for the user. Both end positions can the cap are defined by the snap connections.
  • the inside diameter of the cap at the bottom of the cap is expedient Outside diameter of the drinking straw mouth adjusted so that in the closed position Not only the cap base provides the locking function, but also the drinking straw mouth is, so to speak, tight in the cap bottom area. It can be done in this way achieve good closure function, even with internal pressure.
  • two counter-engagement elements and one engagement element or two engagement elements and a counter-engagement element can be provided alternately work together to find the positions of the cap on the end of the straw define.
  • a reclosable drinking straw T consists of a tubular drinking straw 1, preferably made of plastic material, at one end of a drinking straw 2 at an axial distance in front of the drinking straw mouth 3 an engagement element E in the form of an outer ring bead 4 is formed, and from a cup-shaped cap K, which from the outset is captively attached to the straw end 2.
  • the closure cap K has a closed bottom area 5 with an inside Cap base 12, which is optionally domed inwards (FIG 2).
  • the inner wall is at a further distance from the floor area 5 11 of the closure cap K is formed with a larger diameter than the outer diameter the drinking straw mouth.
  • the essentially cylindrical cap wall 6 of the closure cap K has passage openings 7 distributed over the circumference, e.g. in Form of elongated holes, on.
  • a counter-engagement element G is formed, expediently in the Form of an inwardly projecting ring bead or collar 8, which e.g. in a slight sliding fit on the outer circumference of the straw end 2 is slidable.
  • the section 9 of the closure cap K can be pressed through a groove 10 pressed in from the outside be shaped.
  • the axial distance between the bottom area 5 and the counter-engagement element G is greater than the axial distance between the drinking straw mouth 3 and the engagement element E.
  • the cap K is first on the straw end 2 plugged in until the counter-engagement element 8 slides over the engagement element E, what due to the elasticity of the drinking straw 1 and / or the elasticity of the cap K, which suitably consists of plastic, is guaranteed. Becomes then moved the closure cap K further to the left in FIG. 1, the drinking straw mouth occurs 3 into area 9 until it finally comes to rest on cap base 12 can come. Although the passage openings 7 are permanently open to the outside the drinking straw 1 is now closed.
  • the closure cap K For pouring out or drinking, the closure cap K is removed from the closed position A, Figure 1, upper half, in the open position B, Figure 1, lower half, axially displaced, the drinking straw mouth 3 emerging from the section 9 and finally the counter-engagement element G is intercepted on the engagement element E.
  • the engaging element E is in remaining at least one outer ring bead 4.
  • In the open position B there is a flow connection between the drinking straw mouth 3 and the passage openings 7, see above that 1 liquid can be poured out or drunk through the drinking straw.
  • the section 9 of the closure cap K is omitted, although it is also in this embodiment could be provided.
  • the closure cap has K in relation to the counter-engagement element G at the end of the cap on the opposite side of the Through openings 7 at least one further counter-engagement element G in the form of a Inner ring bead on the inner wall.
  • the middle counter-engagement element is in the closed position A shown in FIG. 2, upper half G of the closure cap K with the engagement element E of the drinking straw 1 in positive and / or non-positive engagement, so that the cap base 12 against the mouth of the drinking straw 3 pressed and this is closed.
  • the other counter-engagement element G saves e.g. the correct alignment of the cap on the drinking straw 1.
  • the closed position A is positive and / or non-positive should be defined.
  • 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.
  • a second engaging element E in the form of a Ring groove 15 may be formed in the end of the straw.
  • the drinking straw T can be provided independently of any beverage container and is already equipped with the sealing cap.
  • the straw can also be used attached cap attached to the beverage container in the usual way his. 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 be 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 straw into the beverage container becomes. Even when using the drinking straw with a bottle, the plug-on allows Cap holding the end of the straw at the mouth of the bottle, if the outwardly protruding edge of the cap on the bottle mouth is applied.
