Application October 23,1944, Serial No. 560,065
2 Claims. 3.
This invention relates to a receptacle for fluids, and more particularly to such a receptacle adapted to have as an integral component thereof a drinking straw.
A primary object of this invention is the provision of improved means in association with a receptacle and cap therefor, whereby a straw may comprise an integral unit of the receptacle, in order that the device may be readily used for individual serving.
Still another object of the invention is the provision of such means having in association therewith a sealing bottle cap, so arranged that when the seal is broken the cap may be reclosed if desired, but not sufficiently sealed for re-sale purposes.
A still further object is the provision of such a device having a built-in vent in association with the drinking straw, whereby the contents may be readily removed with a minimum of difficulty.
Still other objects reside in the arrangements of parts, combinations of elements, and features of construction, all as will be more fully pointed out hereinafter and disclosed in the accompanying drawings wherein there are shown preferred embodiments of this inventive concept.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a fragmentary side elevational view of one form of receptacle embodying features of this invention.
Figure 2 is a sectional view of the structure shown in Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an enlarged fragmentary detail view showing certain portions of the structure, certain other portions being removed.
Figure 4 is an enlarged detail view partially in section and partially in elevation showing a detail of construction.
Figure 5 is a side elevationalview of a modified I form of construction.
Figure 6 is a transverse, vertical sectional view of the construction shown in Figure 5, and
Figure 7 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional view showing a constructional detail.
Like reference numerals refer to like parts.
is a straw M of flexible fluid-repellent material, adapted to extend outwardly through the aperture to be wound about the bottle neck below the cap II. A second member of similar mate rial I5 is positioned adjacent the straw It and provides an air vent therefor. Member l5 may be provided with a cut-in spring vent [6 to form in effect a self-sealing closure therefor.
Positioned around and over the neck of the bottle l0 and extending below the portion of the straw l4 coiled around the outer surface thereof is a sealing cap of frangible material H such as cellulose or the like, adapted to extend below the lowermost portion of the straw to maintain the same in sanitary condition. Beneath cap I1 is adapted to be positioned a rip cord I8, thearrangement being such that a pull on the rip cord l8 will serve to rupture the seal 11 to pro vide ready access to the straw member I4 simultaneously permitting the ingress of air through the vent [5 to permit ready withdrawal of the fluid content of the bottle.
Having reference now to Figures 5 to '7, in-
elusive, there is shown a modified form of construction, wherein there is disclosed a container 20 having a closure 20a comprised, as for example, of wax cardboard material or the like, such as a conventional milk container, and provided with a straw or apertured channel 2! extending downwardly and comprising an integral portion of the interior wall thereof. The straw 2! extends upwardly and out of the receptacle, and is adapted to be coiled thereabout as indicated at 22, an air vent 23 likewise being provided, as is a sealing cap 24 similar to the cap ll. A rip cord 25 may likewise be positioned beneaththe cap 24, and so arranged that a pull thereon will readily rupture cap 24 to provide ready access to the straw. Closure 20:; may be opened in the customary manner if desired.
Obviously, the straw may be formed independently of the container or may if desired comprise an integral part of the cap or closure.
It is to be noted that regardless the type of receptacle or cap utilized the straw extends to the full depth of the receptacle to permit extraction of all the contents thereof.
From the foregoing it will now be seen that there is herein provided an improved receptacle, and cap therefor, having means whereby a straw becomes an integral portion of the said receptacle. It will likewise be seen thatthe application of the principle of this invention may be extended to any desired form of fluid container, whether comprised of a glass bottle having such contents as 3 milk, soft drinks or the like or whether the same is comprised of a cardboard receptacle for similar or different contents, the device being readily adaptable to any individual fluid containers.
Likewise it will be seen that there is herein provided a device accomplishing all the objects of this invention and others including many advantages of great practical utility and commercial importance.
As man embodiments may be made of this inventive concept, and as many modifications may be made in the embodiment hereinbefore shown and described, it is to be understood that all matter herein is to be interpreted merely as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
I claim:
1. In a device of the character described, in combination, a container for fluids, a cap therefor having an aperture therein, a hollow tubular straw member extending through said aperture, and coiled about said container, an air vent in said cap member, said air vent comprising a tubular member extending through said aperture in said cap, and a frangible sealing member covering the outer extremity of both said tubular members and said cap, and a rip cord positioned under said frangible member.
2. In a device of the character described, in combination, a container for fluids, a cap therefor having an aperture therein, a hollow tubular straw member extending through said aperture, and coiled about said container, an air vent in said cap member, said air vent comprising a tubular member extending through said aperture in said cap adjacent said first-mentioned tubular member and having a flap forming a valve therein, a frangible sealing member covering the extremities of both said tubular members and said cap, and a rip cord positioned under said frangible member and overlying said tubular members.
