<Prior Art> Conventionally, a beverage container with a straw is known from Utility Model Application Publication No. 178267/1983, in which a straw of arbitrary length communicating with the inside and outside of the beverage container is housed in the upper part of the container.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, the above drink container with a straw,
Although it is possible to attach a straw of any length, there is no mechanism to adjust the length as desired.

<Means for solving the problem> Therefore, the inventors of the present invention attached a straw of any length to a beverage container, and also made it possible to freely adjust the length of the straw according to the location and situation during drinking. We worked hard to develop this product with the aim of providing a container with an adjustable straw.

As a result, we have found that the above object can be achieved by providing a container with a mechanism for winding up a flexible straw. The gist of the present invention, which was completed based on the above knowledge, is that the upper plate part 1
2. A lid body 22 consisting of a side plate part 14 and a bottom plate part 16 and having a hollow interior 20 with a hole 18 for taking out and storing a straw in the side plate part 14 is installed in the upper opening part 26 of the cylinder body 24; A hole 28 in the top plate 12 and a hole 30 in the bottom plate 16 are formed approximately at the center of the top plate 12 and the bottom plate 16 of the lid 22, respectively. A hole 34 is formed so that the holes 30 face each other, and the inside 32 is hollow and the hole 34 is hollow in the hole 28 of the upper plate portion 12.
A rotary knob 38 having a straw winding shaft 36 having a hole therein is slidably brought into contact with the upper surface of the upper plate portion 12 of the lid body 22, and the straw winding shaft 36 is
Fit the flexible straw so that its lower end abuts the peripheral edge of the hole 30 of the bottom plate 16 below, take out the flexible straw, and connect the storage hole 18 to the straw communication hole 34 and the hole 30 of the bottom plate 16. This is a container with a straw that is inserted into the cylindrical body 24.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to the drawings.

A lid body 22 is composed of a top plate part 12, a side plate part 14, and a bottom plate part 16, and has a hollow interior 20 having a hole 18 for taking out and storing a straw in the side plate part 14.
is placed in the upper opening 26 of the cylinder 24.

Examples of materials for the lid body 22 and the cylinder body 24 include synthetic resins such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and polystyrene, glass, and metals, but in consideration of moldability and the like, it is preferable to use the above synthetic resins.

The size of the hollow interior 20 of the lid 22 may be large enough to wind up and store a straw, and may be appropriately determined depending on the length of the straw to be attached.

As a means for installing the lid 22 in the upper opening 26 of the cylindrical body 24, as shown in FIG.
An example of this method is to provide locking protrusions 42 and 44 on the periphery of the bottom plate portion 16 and on the periphery of the upper opening 26 of the lid body 24, respectively, and to engage the locking protrusions 42 and 44. However, when drinking, the lid 22
Any means may be used as long as the cylindrical body 24 does not come off easily, and is not particularly limited to the above-mentioned means.

The top plate part 12 and the bottom plate part 16 of the lid body 22 include
Holes 28 in the top plate part 12 and holes 30 in the bottom plate part 16
are drilled so that the holes 28 in each top plate part 12 and the holes 30 in the bottom plate part face each other. The above-mentioned drilling location is preferably approximately at the center of the top plate portion 12 and the bottom plate portion 16. That is, the straw winding shaft 36 is connected to the lid body 2.
Since the straw can be installed in the center of the lid body 22, the straw can be wound up uniformly around the straw winding shaft 36, and the maximum amount of winding can be secured inside the lid body 22.

A rotary knob 38 having a straw winding shaft 36 having a hollow interior 32 and provided with a hole 34 for straw communication is fitted into the hole 28 of the upper plate portion 12.

The hole 34 for communicating with the straw is connected to the lid 2.
The hole 18 for taking out and storing straws provided in the side plate part 14 of 2 is on the same plane as the hole 18, or the hole 18 for taking out and storing the straw is bored at a position lower than the hole 18. This eliminates the risk that the beverage remaining in the straw will leak from the drinking spout of the straw when the straw is stored. Further, the straw communication hole 34 serves as a fulcrum point when the straw is wound up by the straw winding shaft 36. Therefore, the straws inserted into the cylindrical body 24 through the straw communication holes 34 are fixed at the 34 locations of the straw communication holes so that the straws do not come out of the straw communication holes 34 in the direction 20 inside the lid body. Since it is desirable to leave the straw in the open state, it is desirable that the hole 34 for communicating the straw be formed to be substantially the same as or slightly larger than the straw. In addition, when drilling the hole 34 for straw communication, the periphery of the hole 34 for straw communication is formed into a zigzag shape, and the zigzag is formed into the inside 32 of the straw winding shaft.
By forming the straw in the direction, the straw inserted into the cylindrical body 24 from the straw communication hole 34 becomes difficult to come out in the direction 20 inside the lid, and the straw is fixed at the 34 straw communication holes when the straw is wound up. can do.

The rotary knob 38 having the straw winding shaft 36 is formed to have a diameter larger than the diameter of the hole 28 of the upper plate part 12, and is slidably brought into contact with the upper surface of the upper plate part 12 of the lid body 22. . Further, by providing the rotary knob 38 with a recess that allows a finger to be inserted therein or a convex portion that can be pinched with a finger, the rotary knob 38 can be easily rotated.

A straw winding shaft 3 is connected to a rotary knob 38 that fits into a hole 28 in the upper plate part 12 of the lid body 22.
6 has a hole 30 in the bottom plate part 16 of the lid body 22.
Abut against the peripheral edge of the This effectively prevents the beverage stored in the cylindrical body 24 from leaking into the lid interior 20 due to the impact of the container body 10 or the like. As for the above-mentioned contact method, as shown in FIG.
An example of this method is a method of bringing the material into close contact with the bottom plate portion 16, but the method is not limited to the above method. Further, it is also possible to attach a leak-preventing rubber gasket or the like to the abutting portion.

A flexible straw of any length is communicated from the straw retrieval/storage hole 18 to the straw communication hole 34 provided on the straw winding shaft and the hole 30 provided in the bottom plate portion 16 of the lid body 22. A straw is inserted into the cylindrical body 24.

The flexible straw may be anything that can be wound around the straw winding shaft 36, such as a bellows-shaped straw or one made of soft plastic such as soft polyethylene or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. There are no particular limitations on the form, material, etc.

<Function> When drinking the beverage stored in the cylindrical body 24, the tip end of the drinking straw wound around the straw winding shaft 36 is inserted into the straw retrieval part provided on the side plate part 14 of the lid body 22. , and pull it out toward the outside of the container body 10 through the storage hole 18. The straws are sequentially taken out from the straw removal and storage holes 18 as the straw winding shaft 36 rotates in accordance with the drawing force. On the other hand, when adjusting the length of the straw or storing the straw, the rotary knob 38 is rotated in the direction of arrow B. Thereby, the straw is sequentially wound up along the straw winding shaft 36 in accordance with the number of rotations described above, using the straw communication hole 34 as a fulcrum.

<Effects of the invention> Since the straw can be taken out and stored at will, the length of the straw can be adjusted as desired depending on the location and situation when drinking. . Therefore, when a hanging belt or the like is attached to the container of the present invention, there is an advantage that the beverage can be easily drunk while walking without having to hold the container in hand.
