Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a water bottle with a straw.

Conventionally, general portable water bottles have a spout at the top of the water bottle body that serves both as an inlet and a spout, from which the liquid content is poured into a pot or the like for drinking. However, when used outdoors for sports, etc., the pouring operation is troublesome and the liquid content often spills, and it is impossible to drink while moving while hiking or cycling. Ta.

In view of these circumstances, in recent years, water bottles with straws have become widely used, in which a straw is integrally provided with the water bottle so that the contents can be directly drunk from the straw. However, in this type of water bottle, the liquid inside the bottle is always communicated to the outside through the straw, so if the bottle is shaken violently or tipped over, the liquid inside the bottle may leak out through the straw. He often leaked his clothes.

There are also known straws in which the spout of the straw is inserted into a hole formed in the water bottle to prevent the contents from leaking out. This was troublesome, and depending on the structure of the hole, the liquid content could easily leak out, causing other problems.

The present invention has been developed in consideration of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a water bottle with a straw that is easy to use and prevents the contents from leaking.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a water bottle in which a straw is inserted into a water bottle main body, the lower end of the straw reaches the bottom of the water bottle main body, and a drinking spout connected to the straw is provided outside the water bottle main body. , forming a drinking spout storage part in the upper part of the water bottle;
In conjunction with the opening/closing operation of a cover member provided in the spout accommodating section, the spout protrudes from the water bottle with respect to the water bottle, and the spout is stored in the spout accommodating section of the water bottle. The drinking spout and the straw are connected through a flexible tube, and the tube is bent at a steep angle and closed when the drinking spout is not in use. This is how things work out.

The present invention will be described below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention. A lid body 2 is screwed onto the top of the water bottle body 1, an inner lid 3 is sandwiched between the water bottle body 1 and the lid body 2, and a gasket 4 is used to seal between the inner lid 3 and the water bottle body 1. has been done. The inner lid 3 isolates the inside of the water bottle from the outside. Further, the inner lid 3 and the lid main body 2 form a drinking spout accommodating portion 5.

The inner lid 3 is provided with a short tube 6 that connects the inside of the water bottle main body 1 and the spout storage section 5,
An air vent groove 6a is formed on the inner surface of the short tube 6.

A spout member 7, which is a cover member, is rotatably provided on the lid main body 2 by a rotation shaft 7a, and a spout 8 is integrally formed with the spout member 7. There is. One end of a flexible tube 9 is connected to the rear end of the drinking spout 8, and the other end of the tube 9 is inserted into the short tube 6 and connected to a straw 10. The tube 9 seals between the straw 10 and the short tube 6, and the air vent groove 6a is formed between the short tube 6 and the tube 9.
An air vent hole is formed.

Further, a push button 11 that can be deformed by its own elasticity is formed at the front end of the lid main body 2, and on the inner surface of the push button 11,
A locking protrusion 12 is provided in a protruding manner.

When not in use, the spout member 7 is rotated forward as shown in FIG. The stop protrusion 12 is locked to maintain the unused state. In this state, the tube 9
As shown in FIG. 1, the tube 9 appears to have been broken off at a steep angle, and the tube 9 is closed. Therefore, the content liquid flows from the tube 9 to the spout 8.
There is no possibility of leakage through the process.

Next, when drinking the contents from the water bottle, as shown in FIG. A tubular liquid passage is formed through the extended straw 10, tube 9, and spout 8, and the liquid can be drunk from the spout 8.

4 and 5 show other embodiments of the present invention. A lid body 2 is screwed onto the upper part of the water bottle body 1, and a central portion of the lid body 2 is surrounded by both side surfaces 13, an inclined surface 14, and a rear wall 15.
A spout storage section 5 is formed. The inside of the water bottle is isolated from the outside by the side surfaces 13, the inclined surface 14, and the rear wall 15. Further, an air vent hole 16 is formed in this rear wall 15. Further, a short tube 6 is provided behind the rear wall 15 to connect the inside of the water bottle and the spout storage section 5.
A forwardly inclined connecting portion 6b is formed at the upper part of the connecting portion 6b.

An operating member 17, which is a covering member, is provided on the upper part of the lid main body 2 so as to be rotatable about a rotation shaft 17a, and an operating lever 18 is attached to the operating member 17.
are integrally formed, and a spout member 7' is rotatably attached to the tip of the operating lever 18 via a rotation shaft 18a. Thus, the drinking spout member 7'
is integrally provided with a spout 8, one end of a flexible tube 9 is connected to the rear end of the spout 8, and the other end of the tube 9 is connected to the connecting portion 6b of the short tube 6. A straw 10 is connected to the lower end of the short tube 6.

Normally, the operating member 17 rotates forward as shown in FIG. 4, and the hooking claw 17b provided on the operating member 17 engages with the receiving claw 2a provided on the lid body 2. An operating member 17 covers the spout accommodating part 5, and the tip of the operating lever 18 is located at the rear of the spout accommodating part 5 to store the spout member 7' in the spout accommodating part 5. Therefore, the tube 9 is bent at a steep angle at the upper end of the connecting portion 6b.
It becomes locally flattened and tube 9
is occluded. Therefore, in this state, the interior of the water bottle main body 1 is completely sealed, and the liquid content will not leak out.

Next, when the operating member 17 is rotated upward, the operating lever 18 is rotated forward within the spout storage section 5, moving the spout member 7' forward, as shown in FIG. A mouth 8 is made to project forward of the lid body 2. At this time, the tube 9 extends in a substantially straight line as shown in FIG. 5, and swells in a circular manner to release the blockage and secure a liquid flow path. Therefore, the liquid can be sucked out from the spout 8 through the straw 10 and tube 9 and can be drunk. Furthermore, air is replenished into the water bottle main body 1 through the air vent hole 16, thereby preventing the inside of the water bottle main body 1 from being depressurized.

As described above, the present invention attaches the drinking spout to the water bottle so that it can be in a used state protruding from the water bottle and in an unused state stored in the water bottle, and also connects the drinking spout and the straw. They are connected via a flexible tube, and the tube is bent at a steep angle and closed when the spout is not in use, so that when the spout is not in use, it cannot be stored in the water bottle. Moreover, since the tube is bent at a sharp angle and closed, the blockage is certain, and if the water bottle falls over or shakes, the contents will leak out from the spout. There is no possibility of leakage.
