[Configuration of the invention 1 The invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A container 10 for enclosing a liquid beverage has a peripheral wall 12 and a bottom 14.
These may be integrally constructed or may be constructed separately, and after being filled with the liquid beverage content, a metal top lid 16 is applied to seal the contents. This upper lid 16 is integrally formed with a cut-off, comb-shaped tongue-like portion 18, and a handle 20 is fixed to one end of this tongue-like portion 18 with a bottle 22.

The configuration described above is extremely common in this type of container, and in order to drink the sealed contents inside the container 10, the handle 2o is pulled outward and the tongue-shaped portion 18 is raised. When it is removed from M1G, an opening 24 is created in that part.

[First Embodiment j] In the first embodiment of the present invention, in which the number of bottles is 45, as shown in FIG. Straw 30 is inserted longitudinally. The length of the straw 30 is the upper surface of the bottom 14 of the container 10 and the upper f! The distance is approximately equal to the distance from the bottom surface of the IE 16.

A float member 32 is integrally attached to the straw 30 at a suitable portion of its length, particularly at a position close to the lower end. The float member 32 may have a plate shape through which the straw 30 passes through the center, and it is desirable that its shape match the contour of the peripheral wall 12 of the container 10. Therefore, if the container 1o has a cylindrical peripheral wall 12, it is preferable that the float member 32 is disk-shaped and has a diameter somewhat smaller than the inner diameter of the container 10.

The straw 30 equipped with this float member 32 is attached to the upper lid 1.
6 and is not filled with a liquid beverage and is placed in a container 10 with an open top, and then, after being filled with a liquid beverage as usual, a top lid 16 is attached.

[Operation of the first embodiment] Since the first embodiment of the present invention has the configuration as described above, when the liquid beverage in the container 10 is to be drunk, the upper lid 16 must be opened. Removal of the tongue 18 causes the straw 30 to automatically rise from the opening 24 formed thereby by the action of the float member 32.
figure). Therefore, by putting the tip of the straw 30 in the mouth, the user can drink the liquid beverage in the container 10 without touching the container 10 with the mouth. Further, since the size of the float member 32 attached to the straw 30 is sufficiently wider than the size of the opening 24, the straw 30 will not escape from the opening 24 even if the straw 30 is taken carelessly.

[Second Embodiment] As shown in FIG. 3, the second embodiment of the present invention has a straw 30 attached to the lower part 34 of the straw 30 provided with the float member 32 of the first embodiment. An insole member 40 made of the same material as the above is integrally attached. The midsole member 40 has a peripheral edge 42 that contacts and secures against the peripheral wall 12 of the container 10, and has a circular cavity or opening 44 formed in its center. A portion of the lower end 34 of the straw 30 is integrally connected to the periphery of this opening 44 with a very slight connecting portion 46.

As shown in FIG.
The inner bottom member 40 is placed slightly above the bottom 14 of the container 10 into a container 10 with an open top and not filled with a liquid beverage. To this end, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a skirt portion 48 can be provided at the peripheral edge 42 of the midsole member 40 with a length that allows the upper surface of the midsole member 40 to be positioned at a desired height above the bottom 14. . Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 4, the peripheral wall 50 of the central circular opening 44 of the midsole member 40 may have the desired length described above, and the midsole member 40 may further include a skirt of the desired length. The portion 48 may also be provided with a hollow peripheral wall 50.

Now, as mentioned above, Straw 30! : After inserting the inner sole member 40 integrally formed with a small connecting portion 4G into the container 10, the liquid drink 1 is filled. At this time of filling, even if the straw 30 tries to float up due to the float member 32, its lower end 34 is integrally connected to the inner bottom member 40 at a very small connecting portion 4G, so the upper end of the straw 30 is suspended from the container 1o. It only protrudes above the open end of the container 1o by the distance between the bottom 14 of the container 1o and the top surface of the middle member 40.

In the next step after filling the container 10 with beverage, the upper lid 16 is attached from above the straw 30.

When attached, the lower surface of the upper lid 16 presses the straw 30 protruding from the container 1o downward. Due to the pressure, an extremely small connecting portion 4G connects the lower end 34 of the straw 30 and the central circular opening 44 of the midsole member 40.
is cut and the lower end 34 of the straw 30 is pushed into the central opening 44 of the midsole member 40 to complete the straw-incorporated liquid beverage container.

[Operation of the second embodiment] Since the second embodiment of the present invention has the configuration as described above, in order to drink the liquid beverage in the container 1o, the tongue-shaped portion 18 of the upper lid 16 is When the upper lid 1G is attached after filling the liquid beverage, the straw 30 with the float member 32 separated from the inner bottom member 40 is removed.
It is automatically raised by the action of the float member 32, and the beverage in the container 10 can be drunk in one drink or three, just as in the first embodiment described above.

[Effects of the Invention] As is obvious from the details described above, the liquid beverage container with a built-in straw of the present invention allows the beverage sealed inside to be distributed around the opening 24 of the container 10 and the peripheral wall 12. You can drink through the straw 30 without touching your lips.

Furthermore, when the opening 24 is formed by removing the tongue-shaped portion 18 of the upper lid 16 that seals the container 10, the straw 30 automatically closes due to the interaction between the liquid in the container 10 and the float member 32. rise to

During this time, since the straw 30 is housed in the container 10, it is kept completely clean without being contaminated.

Therefore, according to the present invention, even if the outside of the container 10 is dirty or the drinker's hands are contaminated, the contents can be emptied into the mouth in a completely hygienic manner.

In the second embodiment of the present invention, when filling the container 10 with liquid beverage, the straw 30 equipped with the float member 32 does not rise inappropriately, and the straw 30 is sealed with the top lid 16. In the process, straw-30
