Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a liquid beverage container with a built-in straw, more specifically, a paper container in which a liquid beverage such as fruit juice is sealed, and the content is absorbed into the paper container. This invention relates to a container with a built-in artificial straw for drinking water.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, paper containers for enclosing liquid beverages such as fruit juice are known as brick-type paper containers. When drinking the contents of this type of paper container, use a straw attached to the outer wall of the container to break the ``straw gura'' provided on a part of the top lid of the container, and drink the contents. It is usually inserted into a container and drunk through a straw.

If the straw attached to the outer wall of the container is not longer than the height of the container, it will be inconvenient to suck and drink the contents to the end, so the straw should be attached diagonally to the outer wall of the container.

However, the length of the top of the container that protrudes from the outside is still insufficient, which causes inconvenience when drinking.

Roughly speaking, pasting the straw [1-] on the outer wall of the container not only spoils the appearance of the container, but is also often inconvenient during transportation, and may press the middle of the straw and cause it to become dented.

In addition, it is common for drinkers to experience situations where, when inserting a straw into the straw opening of a container, if force is applied to the hand holding the container, the beverage content may jump out of the straw opening. It is something to experience.

In particular, this type of beverage container is often used outdoors, and if the hands of the person handling it are contaminated, remove the straw attached to the container and insert it into the container. During operation, the straw becomes contaminated, which poses many hygiene problems.

[Objective of the Invention] In consideration of the many problems to be solved as described above, one of the main objects of the present invention is to provide a method for storing a drinking straw inside a paper container in which a liquid beverage is sealed. An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid beverage container with a built-in straw, which automatically floats when the opening of the top lid is opened and a part of the straw protrudes to the outside.

The general purpose of this invention is to provide a hygienic straw that allows drinking the last drop of the beverage contained in the container.
The purpose is to provide a built-in liquid beverage container.

[Structure of the Invention] Preferred embodiments of the liquid beverage container with a built-in straw of the present invention! Embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Expandable and buoyant straws 6 and 8 are fixed by a holding member 10 to the lower surface of an opening 4 of an upper lid of a paper container 2 for enclosing a liquid beverage.

The straws 6 and 8 are known so-called two-stage telescopic straws sold by Showa Denko K.K., for example. That is, this known straw 6 is an outer straw, which has a larger outer diameter than the inner straw 8, and has a larger outer diameter than the inner straw 8.
A stopper 12 is provided at the upper end of the outer straw 6 to prevent it from falling out below the tapered part 14 at the lower end of the outer straw 6.

A float member 16 is fixed to the lower end of the inner straw 8. The straws 6 and 8 are installed in a telescopic manner so that they can be inserted into the holding part +410 in a shortened state. To this end, the holding member 10 is provided with an opening 18 through which the outer straw 6 can slide.The holding member 10 also has an opening 18 in which the straws 6 and 8 held therein align with the opening 4 of the upper lid of the container 2. It is fixed to the side wall of the container 2 so that it can be aligned.

In addition, if necessary, the upper end of the outer straw 6 and the inner straw
A radially projecting 7 lange can be provided on either or both of the lower ends of the 8 and the lower ends.

[Operations and Effects of the Invention] Since the liquid beverage container with a built-in straw of the present invention is constructed as detailed above, a drinker can use the opening 4 of the top lid (the opening for filling the container 2 with beverage). When the opening 4 is opened by peeling off the lid 3 (which is closed using a suitable lid 3), the straws 6 and 8 protrude upward from the opening 4 due to the buoyancy of the float member 16.

The drinker can then drink the contents from the upper end of the straw 6. When the amount of liquid drink inside decreases, by pulling the outer straw 6 further upwards, the inner straw will open.
Since the float member 16 at the lower end of the inner straw 8 is held in contact with the lower surface of the holding member 10, the outer straw 6 extends to the stopper 12 at the upper end of the inner straw 8. Therefore, the extended length of the straws 6, 8 is sufficient to drink the contents of the container 2 without leaving a single drop.

As mentioned above, by attaching a flange to the upper end of the outer straw 6, when the outer straw 6 is inserted into the holding member 10, it will not fall downward, and the flange can be attached to the lower end of the inner straw 8. (If you do so, do not glue the float member 18 to the inner straw 8.)

Although this invention is particularly suitable for containers made of paper, it is of course possible to apply liquid beverages made from a substance such as Plasdec.
It can also be applied to containers.
