Abstract

The present invention relates to a straw structure, which mainly includes a rigid inner tube and an elastic outer covering layer. The rigid inner tube has a through hole for liquid circulation, and the elastic outer covering layer covers the hard inner portion. The tube is external; thereby, the user has a soft touch between the lips and teeth when sucking, and at the same time has the effect of being difficult to slip when held.

Description

Straw structure (1)

The author relates to a straw structure, especially a straw creator with a soft and comfortable sucking structure.

According to Taiwan, Taiwan is located in the subtropical region and the climate is hot. Many people choose to drink to quench their thirst. Therefore, cold drink shops are popular, and people can drink a cup everywhere to cool and cool the heat. In order to carry and drink conveniently, most of them have a drinking straw attached to the cup. In addition to hand-cranked beverage cups, beverages provided by general restaurants and snack bars will also provide beverage straws for customers to drink. Therefore, the utilization rate of beverage straws is extremely high.

Most straws on the market are made of plastic. However, when drinking or drinking various hot drinks or acid drinks with plastic straws, plastic straws can easily release plasticizers and various heavy metal components, which is harmful to human health. In addition, drinkers will discard them after use. However, plastic straws are the least perishable items for the environment and will cause environmental pollution, such as plasticizers and fluorescent agents, not only for the environment. In addition to generating great pollution, it is also a kind of slow injury to the human body. In response to the environmental protection ban on plastics promotion driven by public opinion, the Environmental Protection Agency also officially announced a draft policy restricting the use of disposable plastic straws. A total of 8000 companies in 4 categories including fast food restaurants are not allowed to provide plastic straws for internal users; so many businesses now do not actively provide plastic straws to drinkers on the "no straw day", thereby reducing environmental pollution. Give the next generations a wonderful space.

Because of this, there is a type of "Stainless Steel Drinking Straw" in Taiwan Patent Publication No. M477223, which is specially used for people to drink beverages. It includes a hard body made of stainless steel. The outer diameter of the hard body Between 5mm and 15mm, a through-hole is formed inside the rigid tube body. The upper and lower ends of the rigid tube body respectively have an upper port and a lower port in the form of a flat cut, and the inner edges of the upper and lower ports. Both the outer edge and the outer edge are provided with rounded portions, and the cross sections constituting the upper and lower ports are formed in a semicircular shape.

However, when the stainless steel straw is used, it is cold, rigid and not soft on the touch and sucking, and even hits the user's teeth, causing discomfort. After all, the environmentally friendly straw is made of stainless steel, so the hardness is higher than General plastic straws are not ideal for use.

The reason is that in view of this, the creator still has a lot of inconveniences in the use of the above-mentioned lighting. It is based on the concept of excellence and borrows many years of manufacturing and design experience and knowledge in related fields. , Created this creation.

The main purpose of this creation is to provide a straw structure, especially a straw structure with a soft and comfortable sucking feeling.

The main purpose and effect of the straw structure of this creation are achieved by the following specific technical means:

It mainly includes a rigid inner tube and an elastic outer covering layer, the rigid inner tube has a through hole for liquid circulation, and the elastic outer covering layer covers the outside of the rigid inner tube; When sucking, it has a soft touch between the lips and teeth, and at the same time, it has the effect of being difficult to slip when held.

As described above, in the preferred embodiment of the straw structure, a marking area is integrally formed on the surface of the elastic outer covering layer, and the marking area can be used as a marking area for a pattern, a brand, or a trademark.

The preferred embodiment of the straw structure described above, wherein the rigid inner tube can be made of stainless steel, titanium metal or glass.

As described above, in the preferred embodiment of the straw structure, the elastic outer layer may be made of silicon rubber.

In order to provide a more complete and clear disclosure of the technical content, creative purpose and effectiveness achieved by this creation, it is described in detail below, and please also refer to the drawings and numbers disclosed:

First, please refer to the first to third pictures, which are the three-dimensional decomposition, cross-section decomposition and combination diagram of the straw structure of this creation, which mainly include:

A rigid inner tube (1) with a through hole (11) in the center for liquid circulation;

An elastic outer covering layer (2) is correspondingly covered on the outer surface of the rigid inner tube (1).

Please refer to the first to third figures. When the straw is made, the hard inner tube (1) is further made of stainless steel, titanium, or glass and other hard materials. It is also a food-grade safety, Reusable material, and the elastic outer layer (2) correspondingly covers the outer surface of the rigid inner tube (1), and a non-toxic silicone material may be further selected.

When using the straw, the user holds the hand in contact with the elastic outer cover (2), which has a soft and elastic touch. At the same time, holding the silicone material can prevent slipping and not fall off; During the drink, the user is allowed to suck the drink so as to have a soft touch between the lips and teeth, and the elastic outer cover (2) is a safe and non-toxic silicone product. It can hurt teeth and ensure safe drinking.

Further please refer to the fourth to fifth figures, which are schematic diagrams of the creative embodiment. The elastic outer layer (2) covers the outside of the rigid inner tube (1), and the elastic outer layer (2) ) The appearance can be round, triangular, quadrangular or polygonal, and a marking area (21) can be integrally formed on the surface of the elastic outer cover (2), and the marking area (21) can be used as The marking area of patterns, brands, and trademarks allows companies or businesses to more systematically promote the display of their own brands, marketing, or special events, and achieve marketing purposes under the premise of environmental protection.

However, the foregoing embodiments or drawings are not limited to the product form, structure, or usage of this creation, and any appropriate changes or modifications by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field should be deemed not to depart from the patent scope of this creation.

From the above, the composition and implementation of this creative structure can be seen, compared with the existing structure, this creative has the following advantages:

1. The straw structure of this creation is based on the technique of covering the outer surface of the rigid inner tube with an elastic outer layer, so that the user has a soft touch between the lips and teeth when sucking.

2. The straw structure of this creation is the same as the above. With the technique of covering the outer surface of the rigid inner tube with an elastic outer layer, it is difficult for the user to slip and fall when holding the straw.

3. The elastic coating of the straw structure of this creation is a safe and non-toxic silicone product. Even users who have the habit of biting straws will not hurt their teeth and ensure drinking safety.

In summary, this creative embodiment can indeed achieve the expected use effect, and the specific structure disclosed is not only not seen in similar products, nor disclosed before the application, and it has fully complied with the provisions of the Patent Law. In accordance with the law, the application for a new type of patent was submitted in accordance with the law, and it is imperative to ask for approval and grant the patent.
