Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 This invention relates to a drinking straw.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional drinking straws are not only simple tubular bodies, but also bends into spirals, letters, etc., and are fitted with decorative plates such as characters.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, although the bent straws are interesting to see as the beverage gradually rises along with the shape at the beginning of sucking, the beverage stops moving when the beverage reaches the mouthpiece, In addition, there is a problem that when a decorative plate is attached, the user can get used to it with no action and get lost soon.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, a transparent empty space is provided in the middle of a drinking straw, and an impeller which is rotated by the flow pressure of the sucked beverage is provided in the empty space so that the impeller rotates while continuing to suck the beverage. This problem is solved by using one of the blades of the impeller as a rotating guide so that fortune-telling and playing can be enjoyed.

[0005]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 A thin flat disk-shaped transparent empty space 2 is provided in the middle of a thin cylindrical straw body 1, and a vertical impeller 4 having a large number of radially arranged blades 3 is rotatably mounted in the empty empty space 2. . Reference numeral 5 denotes a guide plate for rotating the impeller 4 while giving a direction to the beverage sucking and passing through the vacant space portion 2. One impeller 3 of the impeller 4 is formed as an arrow-shaped pointer 3a, and letters such as Luckey, Good, SoSo, Bad, and good luck, a lucky number, and color coding are formed on one or both sides of a circular outer edge of the vacant space portion 2. The sticker 6 is attached with a fortune-telling such as lucky color by which the number of heart marks is large or small, and a dice or roulette is attached with a number, or printed directly on the vacant space 2. The pointer 3a may be formed so as to be colored and distinguished from the other blades 3 in a different color.

When the beverage is sucked by using the drinking straw of the present invention, the impeller 4 is rotated by the flow pressure when the sucked beverage passes through the vacant space 2 in a directional manner. You can enjoy the movement. By drawing a spiral pattern on the impeller 4, or by providing a flat portion on the outer surface to be viewed and attaching a picture of a chase, it can be more interesting. When the suction is stopped, the impeller 4 stops rotating, and the arrow-shaped or colored pointer 3a points to a character or picture such as fortune-telling, so that it is possible to enjoy casual fortune-telling by checking this. You can do it.

FIG. 3A shows an example in which the straw main body 1 and the empty space 2 can be removed. By doing so, it can be easily stored even when the storage space is small by removing it when not in use. Further, as shown in FIG. 3B, the straw of the present invention can be attached to a small plastic bottle 7 or the like in a neck-wrapped packaging bag 8 so as not to interfere.

In order to impart directionality to the beverage sucked to rotate the impeller 4, instead of providing the guide plate 5, as shown in FIG. A deviation or an inclination angle may be provided. The used drinking straws can be cleaned cleanly by passing water from a water faucet, but the empty room 2 can be easily disassembled and assembled so that the room and the impeller 4 can be washed. You may.

[0009]

[Effect of the invention]

 As described above, in the present invention, the rotation of the impeller can be performed during suction, and fortune-telling and play can be enjoyed depending on the direction indicated by the stopped pointer when suction is stopped. This provides the effect of providing a drinking straw that is tempered.
