Description

  The present invention relates to a beverage container that can be drunk with a straw.

  A beverage container drinked with a conventional straw has a beverage container body formed with a straw insertion sealing part, an expandable / contractible straw having a tip formed on an inclined surface, and covers the straw in a sealed state. It consists of a sealed bag that is bonded and fixed to the side.

For this reason, remove the sealed bag that is adhesively fixed to the beverage container body when in use, take out the straw from the sealed bag, pull it with the upper and lower ends of the straw, make it stretched, and then insert the straw into the beverage container body The end of the straw is positioned and pushed into the sealed portion, and the straw is inserted into the beverage container body for drinking.
For this reason, unless the straw is directly touched by hand, it cannot be inserted into the beverage container body, and there is a drawback that the straw is soiled during these operations.
Further, since the straw portion is in an open state during use, there is a drawback that when the beverage falls down or the internal pressure in the beverage container increases, the beverage leaks from the straw.
nothing special

  In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present invention can be opened hygienically without directly touching the straw until the beverage in the beverage container body is sucked by the straw, and can be used in a sanitary manner. An object of the present invention is to provide a beverage container capable of efficiently preventing the occurrence of beverage leakage or the like by bending the straw approximately 90 degrees or more to maintain a sealed state when the beverage remains in the container body. It is said.

The above and other objects and novel features of the present invention will become more fully apparent when the following description is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
However, the drawings are for explanation only and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a sealed beverage container body in which a straw insertion sealing part is formed at an upper part or a lower part of a side surface, and a cover that covers the outer periphery of the straw insertion sealing part of the beverage container body A foldable guide tube having a portion formed therein, and a slide insertion sealing unit attached to the guide tube so as to be slidable. A bendable straw that protrudes to the rear, a cover bag that covers the rear end of the straw and the rear end of the guide tube, and the straw and guide tube that are covered with the cover bag at approximately 90 degrees or more. The drinking container is comprised with the locking tool fixed to the side surface of the said drink container main body which is bend | folded and latched in the airtight state.

  As will be apparent from the following description, the present invention has the following effects.

(1) A bendable beverage container body in which a straw insertion sealing part is formed in a portion near the upper part or the lower part of the side surface and a cover part that covers the outer periphery of the straw insertion sealing part of the beverage container body is foldable A guide tube and a foldable straw that is slidably mounted in the guide tube and can be slid at the front end portion to sever the straw insertion sealing portion and projects outward from the rear end of the guide tube. And a cover bag covering the rear end portion of the straw and the rear end portion of the guide tube, and the straw and guide tube of the portion covered with the cover bag are folded over approximately 90 degrees to be locked in a sealed state. The stopper is fixed to the side surface of the beverage container body, and the rear end of the straw covered with the cover bag is pushed into the guide tube. Sliding movement as writing, tearing the straw insertion closure the inclined surface of the straw tip, it can be opened.
Therefore, after opening the straw plug sealing part, you can drink while sucking the beverage in the beverage container body by removing the cover bag and sucking the rear end of the straw. Since it is not touched, it can be used hygienically.

(2) According to the above (1), since the rear end portion of the straw and the rear end portion of the guide tube can be bent by approximately 90 degrees or more and locked to the locking tool, the straw can be sealed. Even if the internal pressure is applied to the container body or falls down, it is possible to solve the problem that the beverage in the beverage container body leaks to the outside.

(3) According to the above (1), the outer periphery of the straw insertion sealing portion is covered by the cover portion even if the straw insertion sealing portion is provided at the lower position as well as the upper position of the side surface of the beverage container body, and is integrated with the cover portion. Since the guide tube is also bent and sealed, it is possible to eliminate anxiety about leakage and the like, and it is possible to prevent the straw plug sealing portion from being positioned directly outside and to be used safely.

(4) According to the above (1), since a straw is inserted into the side surface of the beverage container main body and only the guide tube or the locking tool covered with the cover bag is fixed, it can be manufactured relatively easily.

(5) In the second aspect, the same effects as in the above (1) to (4) can be obtained.
