Drinking straw

Abstract: A beverage container is equipped with a rotatable cover and an automatically extendable drinking straw. The container includes an open ended body closed by a removable cap, a straw unit inserted through a conduit on the cap, a cover member rotatably fitted on the cap for rotational movement relative to the cap between a first position allowing the straw to extend through a slot of the cover member and a second position folding the straw unit and closing the slot. A groove formed on the cap engages a raised spot formed on the inner edge of the cover member for indicating when the cover member is rotated to either the first or second position. The straw unit includes a first straw made of elastomeric material and a second straw made of rigid material and sized so that the first straw is held between the conduit and the second straw in a coaxial relation without the use of fastening elements.

Abstract: There is disclosed a container for liquids that includes interchangeable dispensing tops such as: a nipple top, a multiple hole protrusion top, a drinking straw top, and a drinking cup top. The bottle is a combination of an outer shell which has windows along its length, a rigid, cylindrical, inner container having a closed bottom, an open top and a removable cap. The cap supports one of the aforementioned dispensing means on its upper surface and is removably secured to both the inner container and outer shell.

Abstract: A cap body of beverage container wherein a lid plate of lid body forming a connection mouth at a drinking straw member is mounted with an air hole between a hinge axle for rotatively supporting a cap and the connection mouth, and a straw unit for being connected to the connection mouth of the drinking straw member is formed thereunder with a closing unit for covering the air hole, while the cap is disposed with a bend member for bending the drinking straw member and a blocking protruder for blocking the air hole via the closing unit, whereby the drinking straw member can be bent to enable to close the cap with one touch operation and to surely block the air hole.

Abstract: A liquid containing body substantially square in outline having a circumferential flange on its surrounding walls, has a first lid sealed on said flange, said first lid having an elongated recess therein dimensioned to have a U-shaped drinking straw nest therein and insulated from the container contents. Said first lid also has a puncturable depression spaced from said recess and dimensioned to permit insertion of one end of the straw to separate the walls of said depression. A preferably transparent second lid is sealed on said first lid thus dealing said recess and said depression from the outside air. An unsealed tongue at one corner of said second lid permits grasping thereof to tear back the second lid to expose the straw and the depression. The container body and said first lid are formed of a relatively stiff plastic sheet material and said second lid is formed of a thinner and more flexible plastic material.
