Description

Technical field

The utility model relates to devices used in the consumption of beverages, such as straws or drinking straws, and makes it possible to obtain an aerated beverage when consumed.

State of the art

The first paper tube for drinking cocktails was invented by Marvin Stone in 1888, US patent No. 375962. Its main disadvantages are characterized by the material from which it is derived.

In the future, tubes from a more technologically advanced material appeared, with bellows increasing the flexibility and versatility of the tube, but without the possibility of aeration when consuming a drink.

Closest to the claimed technical solution is a tube (straw) described in US application No. US 2018028007, which consists of a tube having a through hole in the wall for aeration and an air flow regulator located in a groove on the outer wall of the tube. Moreover, this design provides aeration due to the absorption of air through the hole when drawing the product through the upper end of the tube.

The disadvantages of this device are that:

- The aeration device is made integral with the tube and cannot be used with standard disposable tubes for drinks;

- The complexity of the design, which complicates the manufacture of this aeration device, as well as its washing for reuse.

In addition, due to the nature of its design, it is expensive to manufacture.

Utility Model Disclosure

The technical problem to which the claimed utility model is directed is to increase the aeration of the beverage.

The technical result of the claimed aeration device is to increase the effect of aeration due to the ingress of liquid into the air stream due to the fact that the intake of liquid in the proposed device occurs through an opening in the Central part.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that the proposed drinking tube for aeration of the drink, containing a tube with a hole for aeration and air flow regulator, while in the Central part of the tube is bent by means of a bellows, at least one hole in the wall of the tube with a diameter from 3 mm to 7 mm, the aeration hole is located from the opposite end of the tubing intended for drinking at a distance of 5 mm to 30 mm, the air flow regulator is made in the form of a cap and has a through hole in Tenke diameter from 3 mm to 7 mm, a tension knob located at the end of the tube, wherein an opening for aeration movably, so that the hole would be the aeration duct and the through hole air flow regulator to be fitted.

In a preferred embodiment:

- the air flow regulator is installed in the girth of the duct body;

- the air flow regulator is installed in the cavity of the tube body;

- the air flow regulator is made to rotate around the axis of the tube body along the thread;

- part of the air flow regulator with the hole is made smaller in diameter than the rest.

The combination of the above essential features leads to the fact that: the device is a reliable inexpensive in the production of a tube that allows you to consume drinks, with or without aeration.

Utility Model Implementation

The following is an example of a specific implementation of the aeration device, which does not limit the options for its execution.

The claimed technical solution according to FIG. 1 and 2 consists of a hollow tube cylinder (body) 1, made with the possibility of bending by means of a bellows 2. In the central or near part of the body 1, the tube is bent by means of a bellows 2, at least 1 hole 4 with a diameter of 3 or more is located in this section mm to 7 mm connecting the outer and inner walls of the housing 1. From one end of the housing 1 of the tube at a distance of 5 mm to 30 mm from the end, a through hole 6 with a diameter of 3 mm to 7 mm is located in the wall of the housing 1, from the same end installed air flow regulator 3, made in the form a cap having either a smaller diameter than the tube for installation in it, or larger for installation in the girth of the tube. The air flow regulator 3, designed to be fixed inside the tube body 1 for convenience, can have different diameters - a smaller diameter for installation in the tube body 1, larger for the possibility of rotation behind it, the difference in diameters will serve as an emphasis. The free end of the tube 5 is for consumption of the drink. The controller may contain at least one through hole 7 in the wall with a diameter of 3 mm to 7 mm, and is mounted on the end of the tube body 1 with the possibility of rotation and movement.

The air flow regulator 3 is mounted on the housing 1 of the duct:

- either by means of a threaded connection (not shown in the figures), preferably limited by a thread, so that the regulator has a stroke, but does not twist from the tube body;

- either using guides (not shown in the drawings) limited by plugs, so that the regulator has a stroke along the axis of the tube and / or around it.

- either the air flow regulator is seated on the tube body, and its movement is limited by protrusions - limiters on the tube surface or inside it.

The return end of the landing end of the regulator can be equipped with an overlay of a larger diameter than the regulator itself for more convenient rotation.

The device is made of plastic, wood, metal and other material suitable for physico-mechanical properties and allowed in the food industry.

The claimed device is easily made due to the fact that its design is simplified: there are no internal ribs and recesses, and there is no check valve.

The tube can also be reusable (souvenir), have different forms (sliding, with a bending top, for more comfortable consumption, etc.), of any color, size and diameter.

The device operates as follows:

The inventive device is used for aeration of drinks, and replaces a disposable tube for drinks. The inventive device allows you to aerate any drinks when they are sucked through a tube. When a drink is sucked in through a tube with an aeration device, air is supplied to the consumed beverage through openings 6 and 7. The air is mixed with the consumed beverage entering through opening 4, and the aerated drink enters the consumer’s mouth. The air flow throughout the entire process of absorption of the drink through the device. The device has an air flow regulator 3, which serves to adjust the amount of air supplied, to obtain the desired ratio of the amount of air in the drink when consumed by the user, with the possibility of completely eliminating the air supply in a certain position.

When a drink is consumed, the tube is inserted into the liquid, so that the lower part of the kink 2 and the lower hole 4 are immersed in the drink, then when the drink is sucked in, the consumer, by rotating or moving the regulator 3, controls the air supply to the drink, respectively, when the holes of the regulator 7 and the tube 6 do not match, the air does not enter when drinking, when they coincide, but not completely, it arrives, but weakly, with the coincidence of the openings of the tube 6 and the regulator 7, the aeration of the drink is maximum.

Thus, the claimed device solves the following main problem, namely: it allows you to use a device that is easy to manufacture for aeration of drinks when drinking, while not like in known solutions, air does not enter the drink, but the drink enters the air stream, which gives a more aerated consistency a drink. When consuming liquid through the inventive device, the consumer feels the calming effect and the effect of cooling the drink.

This makes it possible: to use this device in catering and aerate any drinks with it.
