Abstract:
A liquid container with intra-packaging straw comprises a liquid container into which a straw support is attached. The straw support comprises a support pad that is attached to and covers an opening of the liquid container, and a straw that is placed through the support pad and oppositely extends in and out of the liquid container to allow drinking. The straw insertion is hermetically isolated via directly sealing the straw to the support pad or attaching a flexible film respectively to the straw and the support pad. The support pad may be further hollow so that the straw folded by means of an elbow portion can be contained within the hollow support pad.
Abstract:
A liquid container comprises: a cap; a container body having an opening, an inner bottom, a first sealing means sealing a cross section of the container body, the opening being enclosed by the cap so as to form a chamber between the cap and the first sealing means; a straw having a circumferential wall, an open end and a closed end, the open end contacting with the first sealing means, the closed end being attached to the inner bottom of the container body, a first bore further formed on the circumferential wall of the straw above the closed end; and a hollow adapter disposed within the chamber, the adapter having an end for piercing the first sealing means to engage and connect the open end of the straw, whereby liquid within the container body can flow from the first bore, through the straw, and out of the adapter.
Abstract:
A releasable tube assembly, comprising: a male tube having a male tube body and a pair of opposing arms, in which the male tube body has an outer surface and a coupling end, and each of the arms includes: an attachment section, coupled to the outer surface of the male tube body; an intermediate angled section, extending upward from the attachment section; and a handle section, extending upward from said angled section, in which the intermediate angled section and the handle section are in non-contact with the outer surface of the male tube body; a female tube including: a female tube body having a connecting end which is tightly fitted with the coupling end of the male tube body; and a receiving chamber which connects to the connecting end of and communicates to the female tube body, in which the receiving chamber has an upper opening and two diametrically protruding hollow side wings to form a dimension which accommodates the intermediate angled sections of the opposing arms coupled to the male tube body, and the upper opening of the receiving chamber is provided with an inner flange for preventing the angled sections of the arms from leaving the receiving chamber.
Abstract:
An improved drinking container, comprising: a container body having: a side wall, which is recessed inward to form a vertical groove throughout the side wall, in which the vertical groove is defined by at least one inner face; a sealed hole formed on the inner face; and a straw assembly which is mounted in the vertical groove, the straw assembly including: a straw having a vertical section, a bent section and a joint at which the vertical section and bent section are joined together, the bent section having a free end for piercing the sealed hole inward; a block which has a through hole for the bent section of the straw being inserted therethrough, in which the block is secured in the vertical groove with the through hole being aligned with the sealed hole formed on the inner face of the container body; and a removable stop ring which is disposed on the straw to keep the free end of the bent section of the straw from the sealed hole; whereby the free end of the bent section inserted through the through hole of the block stays out of the sealed hole of the container body before drinking, and by removing the stop ring and moving the bent section inward, the free end of the bent section pierces the sealed hole to be ready for drinking.
