Description

Pajita para consumo de bebidas.Drinking straw for drinks.

Object of the invention

La presente invención se refiere a una pajita, del tipo de las utilizadas para el consumo de determinados tipos de bebidas, en las que introduciéndose en un vaso u otro recipiente por su extremidad inferior, permiten la aspiración del líquido por su extremidad superior.The present invention relates to a straw, of the type used for the consumption of certain types of drinks, in which entering into a glass or other container by its lower extremity, they allow the aspiration of the liquid by Your upper limb.

El objeto de la invención es conseguir una pajita que no se obstruya cuando en la bebida existen componentes que al ser absorbidos en la aspiración, tienden a obturar su extremidad inferior.The object of the invention is to achieve a straw that does not clog when there are components in the drink that when absorbed in aspiration, they tend to seal their lower limb

Background of the invention

Existen multitud de bebidas que se consumen habitualmente con el concurso de una "pajita", consistente en un cuerpo tubular de plástico, de considerable longitud y reducido diámetro, que permite efectuar dicho consumo por aspiración.There are many drinks consumed usually with the contest of a "straw", consisting of a tubular plastic body, of considerable length and reduced diameter, which allows such consumption to be carried out by aspiration.

Existen determinadas bebidas, elaboradas en el momento de su consumo, a las que se incorporan determinados aditivos tales como hierbabuena, menta, etc, en su forma primigenia o vegetal. La rápida maceración que sufren estas plantas en el seno de la bebida, hace que sus hojas pierdan la tersura resultando fácilmente deformables, de manera que se adaptan con mucha frecuencia al extremo inferior de la pajita, obturándola, y ello cuando no penetran en el seno de la propia pajita con lo que la obturación resulta mucho mas estable.There are certain drinks, made in the time of consumption, to which certain are incorporated additives such as peppermint, mint, etc., in its original form or vegetable The rapid maceration suffered by these plants in the breast of the drink, makes its leaves lose smoothness resulting easily deformable, so that they adapt with a lot frequency to the lower end of the straw, obtaining it, and that when they do not penetrate the breast of the straw itself with what the shutter is much more stable.

Para resolver este problema se recurre habitualmente a soplar por la extremidad superior de la pajita, lo que genera turbulencias en la bebida, e incluso salpicaduras al exterior, y en cualquier caso constituye una manipulación socialmente inaceptable.To solve this problem, use usually to blow through the upper extremity of the straw, which generates turbulence in the drink, and even splashes at exterior, and in any case constitutes a manipulation socially unacceptable.

Description of the invention

La pajita que la invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria la problemática anteriormente expuesta, asegurando una perfecta funcionalidad de la misma, en ausencia de obturaciones y con independencia del tipo de partículas que puedan existir en la bebida.The straw proposed by the invention resolves the problem was fully satisfactory before exposed, ensuring perfect functionality of it, in absence of seals and regardless of the type of particles that may exist in the drink.

Para ello y de forma mas concreta, la pajita que la invención propone está constituida mediante un cuerpo similar al de cualquier pajita convencional, pero con la especial particularidad de que en un corto tramo próximo a su extremidad inferior, como por ejemplo de 1 cm., incorpora una pluralidad de diminutos orificios perimetrales, por ejemplo de diámetro comprendido entre 1,5 y 2 mm, que constituyen una especie de filtro que asegura el paso del líquido, al menos en una parte de su perímetro.To do this and more specifically, the straw that The proposed invention is constituted by a body similar to of any conventional straw, but with the special particularity that in a short section close to its limb bottom, such as 1 cm., incorporates a plurality of tiny perimeter holes, for example in diameter between 1.5 and 2 mm, which constitute a kind of filter which ensures the passage of the liquid, at least in a part of its perimeter.

Complementariamente y para evitar que se pueda producir una obstrucción del interior que tapone dichos orificios, se ha previsto que el extremo inferior del pajita esté cerrado, por ejemplo mediante una solapa en forma de cuña.Complementarily and to prevent it from being possible produce an obstruction of the interior that blocks said holes, it is provided that the lower end of the straw is closed, by example using a wedge-shaped flap.

De esta manera y como ya se ha apuntado con anterioridad, aunque en cualquier momento de la aspiración una partícula de origen vegetal o de cualquier naturaleza pueda adaptarse a la zona perforada de la pajita, la succión de la misma será parcial, permitiendo la aspiración de líquido, y en cualquier caso al cesar dicha aspiración, el elemento obturador se desprende con toda facilidad de la pajita, en el peor de los casos con un ligero movimiento de la misma, sin necesidad de tener que recurrir al soplado por su extremo superior.In this way and as already pointed out with before, although at any time of aspiration a particle of plant origin or of any nature can adapt to the perforated area of the straw, its suction it will be partial, allowing the aspiration of liquid, and in any case when said aspiration ceases, the sealing element detaches with ease of the straw, in the worst case with a slight movement of it, without having to resort when blown by its upper end.
