[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the entirety of a pull-top beverage can with a straw according to the present invention. As shown here, in the pull-top can of the present invention, a can lid 2 is attached to a can body 1, and a tongue stopper 12 is provided on the can lid 2. As shown in FIG. 4, the tongue-shaped stopper 12 is formed by providing a cut groove 11 in the can lid 2 and fixing the pull tab 4 to a region surrounded by the cut groove 12 by a fixing member 5. . Therefore, the tongue plug 12 is opened in the pulling-up direction of the pull tab 4.

In the present invention, a straw 3 is built in a pull-top beverage can of the type described above. As shown in FIG. 1, one end of the straw 3 is positioned near the bottom of the pull-top can, and the other end is temporarily fixed to the back surface of the tongue-shaped stopper 12 of the pull-top can. As a means for temporary fixing, for example, a locking end 7 having a claw 8 may be attached near the tip of the tongue-shaped plug 12, and one end of the straw may be stopped at this.

In addition, a guide 9 may be attached near the base of the back surface of the tongue plug 12, and the straw 3 may be built into the pull-top can through the guide 9. Further, it is preferable that the guide 9 is a short pipe having an inner diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the straw 3.

Since the pull-top beverage can with a straw of the present invention is configured as described above, when the pull tab 4 is pulled upward as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the kerf 11 is torn, and the tongue-shaped lid is opened. 12 is lifted upward, and an opening 13 is formed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, at the stage of opening, the straw 3 is temporarily fastened by the locking end 7 provided at the end of the tongue-shaped lid 12, so that the straw 3 is attached to the tongue-shaped lid 12. It is lifted, but separates from the locking end 7 when further opened as shown in FIG. In such a state, if the straw 3 is held in the mouth or pulled by a finger to draw an appropriate length, the beverage in the tube can be drunk with the can standing.

At this time, when the guide 9 is attached near the base of the back surface of the tongue-shaped stopper 12 and the straw 3 is built into the pull-top can through the guide 9, the straw 3 is more securely inserted into the beverage can. And the straw 3 can be easily pulled out when the can is opened.

That is, since the straw 3 is always supported by the guide 9, the tip of the straw 3 is at a position protruding from the guide 9 when the can is opened, so that the straw 3 can be easily pulled out. In addition, since the guide 9 is mounted near the base of the tongue-shaped stopper 12, the movement (rotation) at the time of opening the stopper is smaller than that at the tip of the tongue-shaped stopper 12, so that the straw 3 is opened. At this time, the tongue-shaped stopper 12 is surely separated from the tongue-shaped stopper 12 and easily pulled out.

As shown in FIG. 1, it is preferable that the straw 3 is incorporated in the can with a sufficient length so that one end is always at the bottom of the can even when the straw 3 is pulled out. Although not related to the essence of the present invention, it is convenient for handling the can that the pull tab 4 is rotatable about the fixing member 5 as a center.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to one embodiment, the present invention can take various forms without being limited to the above embodiment. For example, the straw 3 can be provided with a bellows part on the way to bend freely. Further, the locking end portion 7 for temporary fixing may be simply fixed with an adhesive, for example. In short, it is only necessary that the straw accommodated inside can be pulled out with the movement of the tongue lid when the can is opened.
