Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention relates to liquid containers made of non-porous materials such as plastics, which can be used to enclose beverages such as soft drinks, juices, alcoholic beverages, and pharmaceuticals in large quantities. The present invention relates to a convenient beverage container suitable for sale in the United States, particularly in which a drinking straw is attached to the container.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] The purpose of the invention is to provide a container that can be mass-produced, has low manufacturing costs, is suitable for transportation and sale, and that will stimulate buyers' desire to purchase it. The overall shape is well-shaped and suitable for mass transportation and mass sales, and since a straw is attached to the container, the user can drink immediately after opening the container, and the straw is also clean. To obtain a beverage container that is kept clean and hygienic and is optimal as a disposable container.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The means for achieving the above object, as described in the claims of the utility model registration, include a liquid container body formed of an air-impermeable material and an upper part of the liquid container body. a lid that engages with the liquid container main body, and a straw that is housed within the lid, the straw having a joint portion that connects one end of the straw to a liquid inlet/outlet provided at the upper part of the liquid container main body. The beverage container is also characterized in that the liquid inlet/outlet is sealed with a sealing material.

[Example] Figure 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention with the lid removed;
FIG. 2a is a partial sectional view of the embodiment of FIG. 1, and FIG. 2b is a sectional view of the straw. Reference numeral 1 denotes a liquid container main body formed of plastic, which has a spout 9 on its top for pouring in and out of liquid, and an engagement protrusion 3 for connecting a straw 5 around its outer circumference.
Further, a fitting portion 8 that engages with the lid 2 is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the upper portion of the liquid container body 1 . In the state for sale, the spout 9 is sealed with the sealing material 6, so that the beverage or the like in the liquid container body 1 does not leak outside. The sealing material 6 may be any closure other than that shown, such as a plastic stopper. Also lid 2
is made to have the same dimensions as the outer periphery of the liquid container main body 1 and has an internal space that can accommodate the straw 5, and a fitting part 7 provided on the lower outer periphery of the
Since the straw accommodating portion is tightly engaged with the fitting portion 8 on the main body side to isolate the straw accommodating portion from the outside world, the straw can be kept clean until it is used for drinking. Figures 1 and 2
In the illustrated example, an engaging portion 4 is provided at one end of the straw 5 to fit from the outside of the engaging protrusion 3 of the pouring inlet 9. Other methods such as a method in which the engaging portion 4 is fitted or a method in which the engaging portion 4 is engaged by screws may be used. In addition, the connecting portion between the straw 5 and the container body 1 may be partially protruded in a tapered shape as shown in the figure, or
By making the entire top part of the bottle into a funnel shape, you can avoid leaving behind any remaining liquid when drinking. The shape of the container is not limited to the rectangular shape shown in the figures, but may be cylindrical or other shapes, and the position of the spout is not limited to that shown in the figures, but may be provided at the upper end of the container body, for example.

[Effects of the invention] As is clear from the detailed explanation above, the beverage container of the invention has the container body containing the beverage and the straw attached as one unit, so there is no need to transport the straw separately from the container. It is very convenient because there is no risk of losing it and it can be consumed immediately after opening. Moreover, since the straw is stored in a sealed state with a lid, it is hygienic and users can use it with peace of mind. Moreover, since it has an extremely simple structure, it can be mass-produced by plastic molding, etc., and the manufacturing cost is low, making it ideal as a disposable container. It also has many advantages, such as being able to encapsulate medicines and be used for inhalation by sick people.
