Abstract

The invention relates to straws and straws for preparing and drinking beverages. In the drinking tube 1, in order to ensure its participation in the preparation of the consumed liquid, a soluble washable flavoring and / or medicinal substance is applied on its inner surface 2. The inner surface of the tube for better retention of the substance may be wholly or partially made with irregularities, for example, rough, and have one or several cameras 3 in the form of cavities of arbitrary shape. According to the second variant, a core 4 of a perforated, porous or mesh material is inserted into the cavity of the tube, onto which a soluble washable flavoring and / or drug substance is applied. The drinking tube itself can be made of a soluble washable flavoring and / or drug substance. The tube is provided with a liquid (water) intake from the tank, and can replace conventional dispensers and mixers. There is no need for disinfection due to the impossibility of developing an oxidizing effect or an antiseptic substance in the cavity of the tubes in a dry environment, or blocking the tube in a neutral gas environment that prevents the penetration of oxygen. 2 ill.

Description

The invention relates to devices used in the preparation and consumption of beverages, such as straws or drinking straws.

The first paper tube for drinking cocktails was invented by Marvin Stone in 1888 [US Patent No. 375962].

The main disadvantages of the tube are its small diameter. In the future, tubes of a modernized design and from a more technological material appeared.

Known tube (drinking straw) made of spring material. The tube is placed in a bottle, after opening which it straightens and protrudes above the neck [Eurasian patent No. 004282, A47G 21/18, 2004].

The disadvantage of all tubes is their low functionality, since the tubes are suitable only for drinking. The main expenses are spent on transportation of the consumed liquid product, drinks, cocktails or medicines have to be transported in large quantities.

The challenge facing the invention is to develop a tube that takes part in the preparation of the consumed liquid.

The problem is solved by placing in the cavity of the tube soluble easily rinsed substances.

To solve this problem, three options are proposed.

In the first embodiment, a soluble, washable, flavoring and / or drug substance is applied to the inner surface of the drinking tube.

The inner surface of the tube may be wholly or partially made with irregularities, such as rough, for better retention of the substance being washed off.

The tube may have one or more chambers made in the form of cavities of arbitrary shape.

According to the second option, a core of perforated, porous or mesh material is inserted into the cavity of the drinking tube, onto which a soluble washable flavoring and / or drug substance is applied.

In both cases, the tube provides the ability to prepare a drink while passing through it a stream of liquid (water). The inner coating dissolves and mixes with the liquid.

The tube itself can be made from a soluble washable flavoring and / or drug substance.

The invention is illustrated in the drawing, which shows a drinking tube. (figure 1, figure 2)

The tube 1 for drinking has an arbitrary cross-sectional shape. A soluble washable substance 2 (coating) is applied to the inner surface (wall) of the tube, suitable for internal use. It can be a powder for making drinks, juices, cocktails or medicines. The substance is preferably applied moistened and dried after application.

The inner surface of the tube may be roughened or with protrusions that improve the retention of the substance deposited on it.

One or several 3 * chambers in the form of cavities of arbitrary shape can be made in the tube. With the passage of liquid in the chambers, turbulence of higher intensity is created, which accelerates the washing off of the substance from the walls and increases the concentration of the substance in the liquid.

According to the second option, a core 4 of perforated, porous or mesh material is inserted into the cavity of the drinking tube, which allows free passage of fluid through the pipe. In this case, a soluble washable flavoring and / or drug substance is applied to the core.

Application of the substance (coating) is possible in various ways.

You can wet the inner walls of the tube by pouring or spraying a nozzle into the tube of a concentrated adhesive coating, such as syrup, in the required amount, followed by drying.

You can insert the tape soaked in syrup into the tube pre-pressed into an ellipse (in cross section), when the tube is straightened, the gaps will disappear and the tape will be fixed.

When using the core (liner), it is pre-wetted in syrup or sprayed with syrup on it. The liner may be crimped tube if it is made of a material with heat-shrink properties. Any other known methods are possible.

In the third embodiment, the tube itself is made (made) of a soluble washable flavoring and / or drug substance. In this case, the tube can be made by extrusion. The substance is prepared in the form of a paste and squeezed out of the extruder.

The tube is provided with the intake of liquid (water) from the tank, and can replace conventional dispensers and mixers, in cases where it is possible to prepare drinks (drugs) using their own reserves of liquid (water).

There is no need for disinfection due to the impossibility of developing an oxidizing effect or an antiseptic substance in the cavity of the tubes in a dry environment, or blocking the tube in a neutral gas environment that prevents the penetration of oxygen.
