Definitions

  • This invention relates to drink spouts, and more specifically, to a retractable spout for use on aseptic drink boxes, plastic drink bottles, and other drink containers.
  • Water bottles, plastic soda bottles, disposable drink boxes and disposable juice bottles have become popular ways to conveniently package and sell drinks.
  • Some of these containers, such as plastic bottles include a cap with a rigid spout that opens and closes to let a user take a drink.
  • Other containers, such as disposable drink boxes include a straw that a user inserts into the container through a hole covered by thin layers of foil and plastic. These spouts and straws have the disadvantage that they are not retractable; rather, they extend from the drink container, making the container more difficult to store, display and package.
  • drink containers also have the drawback of allowing liquid to spill. For example, when the spout on a plastic drink bottle is open, liquid will spill if the bottle tips over. Drink boxes will also spill when tipped. Additionally, drink boxes often spill when the straw is inserted because the user is holding the box in one hand while trying to insert the straw into the straw hole through the foil and plastic. The pressure of holding the box and pressing the straw against the foil and plastic often causes the liquid to spray out of the hole or out of the straw as soon as the foil and plastic are pierced.
  • This invention addresses these issues by providing a retractable drink spout which may include a valve to prevent liquid from spilling.
  • This invention provides a retractable spout for use on various drink containers.
  • the spout includes a straw-like structure and a flexible and/or moveable support joined to the straw-like structure.
  • the support allows the straw-like structure to be extended for use, and to be retracted when not in use.
  • the retractability of the spout allows the drink container to present a surface without projections, which makes it easier to package and display the container. This is particularly useful with drink boxes.
  • the retractability of the spout allows the top surface of the drink box to remain substantially flat, thereby facilitating the box being packaged, shrink-wrapped, stacked, and displayed with other drink boxes.
  • the retractable spout also permits the spout to be easily covered or sealed.
  • the retractable spout is part of a drink valve that regulates the flow of liquid.
  • valves include a gate structure or plug adjacent one end of the straw-like structure.
  • the gate structure or plug is typically closed, and is opened upon movement of the straw-like structure.
  • a user may open the gate structure by tilting the straw-like structure to one side or by moving it down.
  • the straw-like structure is released, it returns to its normal position and the gate structure or plug is closed.
  • This valve allows a user easily to open the gate-like structure or plug to take a drink, but prevents liquid from spilling if the drink container is tipped or if the user has not opened the valve by moving the straw-like structure.
  • Figure 1 shows the invented drink spout on an aseptic drink box.
  • Figure 2 shows the drink spout on a drink bottle.
  • Figure 3 shows the drink spout on an aseptic drink box with the spout retracted.
  • Figure 4 shows a cover for the retractable drink spout.
  • Figure 5 shows the retractable drink spout separate from other structure.
  • Figure 6 shows a side view of the drink spout.
  • Figure 7 shows a side view of a drink spout mounted to a drink box.
  • Figure 8 is a cross-sectional view of the invented drink spout in an extended position.
  • Figure 9 shows how a drink spout may be mounted to a drink box.
  • Figure 10 is another embodiment of the invented drink spout.
  • Figure 11 shows the embodiment of Figure 10 mounted to a drink box.
  • Figures 12 and 13 show an embodiment of the drink spout on a container with a straw extending into the container.
  • Figure 14 shows a combined spout and valve embodiment.
  • Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the invented drink spout 10 mounted in an aseptic drink box 12.
  • Drink boxes are popular for fruit juices, fruit punch, chocolate- flavored drinks and other beverages.
  • the spout includes a straw structure 14, which is tubular so that it includes an internal passageway 16 through which liquid may flow.
  • the straw structure includes an opening or exit port 18 at the top end of the passageway through which liquid exits the drink box.
  • the spout further includes a flexible support 20 joined to the straw structure to support the straw structure while allowing the straw structure to move, as will be described below.
  • a flange 22 extends from the bottom of the support and allows the spout to be mounted over an aperture in an upper surface of the drink box in any acceptable manner, such as by an adhesive or heat seal.
  • the spout may also include a cover or lid 24 to cover the straw structure when the straw structure is retracted.
  • Figure 2 shows the invented spout mounted in a lid 26 of a plastic or glass bottle 28.
  • bottle 28 may be a plastic soda bottle, a plastic water bottle, a glass juice bottle, an athletic bottle, or any one of a number of drink containers.
  • Bottle 28 acts as an enclosure defining a region for the storage of liquid. The liquid may exit the bottle through spout 10.
  • Spout 10 may also be mounted in a cup or other drink container for a child or toddler, or it may be mounted on other liquid containers.
  • FIG 3 shows spout 10 in a retracted state on drink box 12.
  • the spout is mounted to the box by flange 22, and support 20 is joined to the flange.
  • support 20 has been inverted so that it no longer extends upwardly away from the drink box; instead, the support is retracted down into the box.
  • Support 20 is flexible to allow movement between extended and retracted positions, as is explained in more detail below.
  • Straw structure 14 is joined to support 20, so that as the support is retracted, the straw structure is also retracted, as shown.
  • cover or lid 24 may be placed over the straw structure, as shown in Figure 4. The cover closes the drink container and prevents liquid from being spilled.
  • the cover includes a tab 30 which a user may grip to open and close the cover.
  • the tab may take many different forms, including, for example, a pull ring.
  • the cover may be opened by gripping the tab and moving the cover in the direction of arrow 32.
  • the straw structure may then be gripped and pulled to extend the spout for use.
  • cover 24 may include a plug 34, shown in Figure 3, designed to extend into opening 18 in straw structure 14 when the cover is closed. This projection helps prevent spillage by blocking opening 18.
  • the projection also may be sized to create a friction fit between itself and opening 18 so that when cover 24 is opened, plug 34 pulls straw structure 14 to its extended position. In this manner, opening cover 24 automatically extends the drinking spout.
  • a user may drink from the drink box by placing the spout in the user's mouth and tilting the drink box up to allow liquid to flow out of the spout.
  • the spout is retracted simply by pushing down on the straw structure and support.
  • support 20 folds in on itself and moves through what may be thought of as an "S" shaped curve.
  • Support 20 is made from a flexible material to facilitate this movement.
  • the support is made from an elastomeric material because elastomers are flexible and they have a high degree of what may be thought of as shape memory. In other words, elastomeric structures that have specified shapes may quickly move or return to those shapes when flexed.
  • shape memory elastomeric structures that have specified shapes may quickly move or return to those shapes when flexed.
  • the elastomeric support snaps to the extended position because of the support's shape memoiy.
  • the spout may be made from other flexible materials, such as low density polyethylene.
  • Other materials such as polyethylene may be desirable from a manufacturing or cost point of view. These materials provide sufficient flexibility for the spout to be extended and retracted, but may provide less shape-memory.
  • Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the invented drink spout
  • Figure 6 shows a side view of the spout, both of which help illustrate how the spout functions.
  • the spout is shown in Figures 5 and 6 in a retracted position because the spout is typically manufactured or molded in the retracted position.
  • Figures 5 and 6 show straw structure 14 having two ends, a first end 36 and a second end 38. Opening or exit port 18 is in the first end of the straw structure, and a second opening or entrance port 19 is in the second end of the straw structure.
  • Passageway 16 extends within the straw structure between openings 18 and 19.
  • Passageway 16 and straw structure 14 are typically circular in cross-section, but may take different shapes or cross-sections.
  • Straw structure 14 includes an enlargement 40, which may be thought of as a gripping structure to help a user grip, pull, push or move the straw structure.
  • various types of gripping structure may be used, such as a plurality of bumps, steps or grooves in straw structure 14.
  • straw structure 14 may be made without any gripping structure.
  • Support 20 is joined to the straw structure to support the straw structure.
  • wall 42 may be thinner than if the spout were made from an elastomer. A thinner wall helps the support be more flexible. Additionally or alternatively, the support may join shoulder 44 by an annular live hinge 48, which is simply a thin section of material, and wall 42 may join flange 22 by annular live hinge 50. The live hinges further help the support be more flexible. Live hinges may also be used if the spout is made from an elastomer.
  • Perimeter portion 56 is glued or sealed to the upper surface of flange 22, as shown in Figure 7, to hold the cover in a closed position.
  • An annular bead may be included in perimeter portion 56 to help seal the perimeter portion to the upper surface of flange 22.
  • An annular tear groove 60 is positioned in cover 24 immediately interior of perimeter portion 56, as shown in Figures 5, 6 and 7. The tear groove allows a central portion 62 of cover 24 to tear or peel away from perimeter portion 56 when a user pulls on tab 30, while the perimeter portion 56 remains glued to the upper surface of flange 22, as shown in Figure 8.
  • Annular groove 60 extends around cover 24, but terminates prior to extending entirely around the cover.
  • the section in which annular groove does not extend forms a hinge or joint between central portion 62 and perimeter portion 24. This hinge is shown at 64 in Figure 5.
  • annular groove 60 extends around cover 24 until it terminates at hinge 64. Hinge 64 allows central portion 62 of the cover to remain attached to the spout and to be opened and closed
  • Figure 8 shows spout 10 mounted to a drink box 12 with straw structure 14 in an extended position, ready for use. Central portion 62 of the cover has been peeled back to open the spout, as explained. Liquid within the drink box may enter into an area 66 defined by support 20, and from there enter into passageway 16 and out opening or exit port 18.
  • the invented spout may be mounted to a drink box with a minimal number of steps.
  • the spout is molded in the shape shown in Figures 5 and 6.
  • the cover is then folded over the straw structure so that the spout is closed, as shown in Figure 7.
  • the closed spout is then placed over an aperture 67 in a drink box, as shown in Figure 9.
  • An annular ring then applies pressure and heat to the perimeter of the spout.
  • the pressure and heat causes perimeter portion 56 of cover 24 to seal to the upper surface of flange 22, and simultaneously causes the lower surface of flange 22 to seal to the drink box.
  • Aseptic drink boxes are typically covered with a plastic coating, so heat and pressure cause the flange to seal with the plastic coating of the drink box.
  • spout 10 is mounted on a bottle 28.
  • a straw 400 extends into the bottle.
  • the upper end of straw 400 is attached to spout 10 by snapping into place in a friction fit behind an annular rib or barb 404.
  • the straw may snap into a groove or be glued into place. In this manner, a user may draw liquid out of the container through straw 400.
  • Straw 400 includes a flexible portion 402 that allows the straw to bend or collapse into the container when the spout is retracted.
  • the invented spout may also be part of a drink valve used to prevent liquid from being spilled.
  • a drink valve used to prevent liquid from being spilled.
  • Such a spout/valve combination is especially applicable for the drink containers discussed above, but it is also applicable for other containers, such as cups with lids used for hot drinks like coffee, or cups used for fountain drinks.
  • the valve or gate structure operates when the straw structure moves, such as moving down or to the side. When that happens, the members spread apart creating spaces between the members. The spaces allow fluid to flow into the passageway from the sides, as well as from below the passageway, thereby opening an area through which liquid may flow into the passageway. That open area is at least as great as the cross-sectional area of the passageway adjacent the gate structure. Therefore, the rate of liquid flow into the passageway when the gate structure is open is limited by the cross-sectional area of the passageway adjacent the gate structure and not by the gate structure itself.
  • the straw structure would be moved by a user, most often by the user gripping the straw structure with the teeth or lips and tilting the straw structure to the side or pushing it down.
  • the valve closes automatically when the user releases the straw structure because the material from which the valve is made automatically returns to its original position.
  • the invented retractable drink spout is applicable in the drink packaging industry, and is specifically applicable to drink containers such as plastic and glass bottles and aseptic drink boxes.
  • the invented drink spout also may be used on other liquid containers, with or without a valve and with or without a vent.
  • the spout may be used on large containers of water, juice or wine to dispense the liquid for drinking.
  • the spout may also be used on milk boxes to provide a spout to pour the milk.
  • the spout may also be used on other liquid containers, such as containers for sauces, salad dressings, syrups and oils.
