  • FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
  • The present disclosure relates to a drink container and a lid assembly thereof, and more particularly to a drink container and a lid assembly thereof for a user to carry drink or water.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
  • With the recent pursuit of environmental protection and attempts at decreasing the use of disposable plastic containers, use of thermos bottles or tumblers for carrying water or beverages has become a trend in the modern society. In addition, in order to reduce the use of the plastic straws, people have turned to using reusable straws made of metal or glass to drink water or beverages.
  • However, when a conventional thermos bottle is used with a straw, if the straw is too short, the entire straw is prone to sink inside of a container after the straw is inserted into the container. When the straw is required to be used, the straw must be pulled out from an opening of the container with the fingers. Therefore, the use of the straw is inconvenient, and grasping the straw by the fingers can cause the straw to be contaminated.
  • If a length of the straw is greater than a height of the opening of the container, when the straw is inserted into the container, an upper end of the straw protrudes from a top end of the opening of the container. When the container is closed by a lid thereof, the lid of the container interferes with the upper end of the straw. Accordingly, before the container is closed by the lid, the straw is required to be taken out and stored outside of the container, so that the straw is inconvenient to use therewith, and the straw may be easily contaminated and further affect sanitation.
