Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a straw provided with a skirt to prevent the straw from falling out of a beverage container.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional straws, when an infant or the like inserts a straw and drinks drinking water from a beverage container, the straw is easily pulled out of the insertion opening.

[0003]

This has the following disadvantages. Infants and the like can easily pull out the straw when drinking drinking water from a beverage container with a straw inserted, and there is a danger to the body because the mouth or mouth swings. In addition, the contents were easy to overflow from the straw insertion opening.

[0004]

An elastically deformable skirt (2) is provided on the outer periphery, which is open to the mouth opening side. The present invention is a straw configured as described above.

[0005]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. A plastic skirt, which is formed on the outer periphery so as to be elastically deformable and is open on the mouth side, is provided. The skirt may be cut, for example. Figure 1 shows the outer cylinder (3)
In the stretchable straw in which the inner cylinder (1) is not pulled out and is retractably accommodated, an elastically deformable skirt (2) is formed at the end of the outer cylinder (3) on the inner cylinder side and opened to the mouth opening side. ). A non-stretchable type may be used separately from the stretchable type. FIG. 2 shows a non-stretchable type in which an elastically deformable skirt portion opened to the mouth side is attached. The skirt is secured to the outside of the straw. Although the skirt of FIG. 1 is formed integrally with the skirt, the skirt may be separately attached to either the inner cylinder or the outer cylinder of the telescopic type. FIG. 3 shows a telescopic type in which an elastically deformable skirt portion opened to the suction port side is separately attached to the outer cylinder side. The skirt is secured to the outside of the straw. When the skirt is used only to prevent the straw from falling out of the beverage container, a cut is formed in the skirt along the outer periphery of the straw, for example, on the mouth side. When using, the cut portion may be opened by hand as shown in FIGS. According to the present invention, when this is used in the above-described structure, the portion from the tip (4) to the skirt (2) is inserted into the straw insertion port of the beverage container (5) as shown in FIG. The elastically deformable skirt opened to the mouth side contracts when inserted, and returns to its original shape internally when passing through the insertion port.

[0006]

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION Skirt (2) opened outward on straw
The skirt (2) acts as a stopper when the straw is inserted from the tip (4) into the straw insertion opening of the beverage container, so that the straw can be easily inserted into the beverage container, but once it is inserted, it will be removed Even with a simple force can not escape. For this reason, it is possible to avoid danger to the body, such as the infant or the like holding the mouth or swinging around.
