Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a straw decoration attached to a straw for adding beauty and fun when using a straw. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are various types of straws themselves and they are often used, but no decorative body attached to the straw has been found. A conventional straw has a simple cylindrical shape, and a bellows portion is provided on a part of the cylindrical shape so that the straw can be bent. Although there are various types, such as those that have been manufactured, all of them have been manufactured in a function-oriented manner and lacked interest. The present invention has been invented in order to solve the problems related to the conventional straws as described above, and provides an article that can add beauty and fun by being attached to a straw. It is intended for. [0004] As means for solving the problems, the present invention is characterized in that a decorative portion and a holding portion are combined. That is, a holding body for being held between straws is provided below the decorative body of an arbitrary shape.
The present invention is a straw decoration having the above configuration. DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In order to use the present invention, a decorative body is sandwiched between straws and used in the same manner as a normal straw. When the straw is added to the mouth, the decorative body is located in front of the eyes, and can be enjoyed visually.
A general straw is a structure mainly composed of a cylindrical body and is a function-oriented article. However, by adding the decorative body of the present invention, it is possible to enjoy fun and beauty. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In FIGS. 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a plate-shaped decorative body that resembles a panda, and reference numeral 2 denotes a holding body attached to a lower part of the decorative body. The holding body has a prismatic shape made of a synthetic resin having an appropriate flexibility and elasticity, and has a guide portion 3 formed by notching a lower portion of the prism and having opposed inclined surfaces. A holding portion 4 having an arcuate curved surface similar to the straw outer diameter is provided continuously. In order to use the present invention, as described above, the holding portion may be fitted slightly into the straw while slightly approaching the suction portion of the straw, and fixed. The above is the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In the previous example, the decorative body was located at the upper center of the holding section. In this example, the decorative body was located at the upper end of the holding section. The distance from the mouth to the decorative body can be obtained when fitted in a straw. FIG. 5 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, in which a cutout portion is provided below the holding portion to provide two holding portions. FIGS. 6 and 7 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the first to third embodiments, a plate-shaped decorative body is used, whereas in this embodiment, a fish-shaped three-dimensional decorative body is used. FIG. 8 shows the holding portion in the shape of a short cylinder,
It is a simpler holding part. Note that FIG.
If the upper part of the straw is made longer as indicated by the two-dot chain line, the distance between the lips and the decorative body can be maintained. As described above, the present invention is used by attaching it to a straw, but it is usually used by attaching it to the upper part of a bendable straw as shown in FIGS. The holding member of the present invention has a guide portion, and a holding portion having an inner diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the straw is provided continuously with the guide portion. Therefore, it can be easily attached to the straw and firmly fixed. Further, since it can slide and rotate with respect to the straw, it can be used at any position. Since the present invention is effective when the straw is used upright with respect to the glass, it is important to use a straw support for supporting the straw with respect to the glass. As the decorative body shape, an animal, a plant, a cartoon character, an idol, or the like can be used as a plate shape or a three-dimensional shape. In the present invention, the holding portion is located below the decorative body, so that it can easily enter the field of view of the user, provide new fun and healing at a monotonous moment, and create a bright atmosphere. In addition, since the decorative body does not directly touch the lips, it is hygienic and can be used by infants and the like.
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain an article that gives a pleasure when using a straw. According to the present invention, since a decorative body can be added to a straw, a useful article that can be used as a straw having beauty and fun that is not available in conventional straws is provided. Can be provided.
