Description
Cross reference to related applications
It is to submit number on April 17th, 62/579,013 and 2018 this application claims the number submitted on October 30 in 2017
For the equity of 62/658,976 provisional application;Its all the elements is incorporated herein by reference.
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of reusable foldable drinking straw and a kind of systems for drinking liquid.
Background technique
500,000,000 plastic suction pipe is used more than daily in the U.S., and is abandoned after a single use.Only in the past
20 years in, for convenience and generate extreme waste example in, people expect there are plastics in every kind of drink
Suction pipe.These service life short tool is usually thrown into dustbin without thinking, immediately becomes a kind of plastic pollution source.
(http://www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org/no-straw-please/)
Enough suction pipes of the 500000000 disposable plastic suction pipes of consumption in one day are daily around earth circumference 2.5 times.When
Before, as a consequence it is hardly possible to plastic suction pipe is recycled, soot has usually finally been arrived.Plastic suction pipe can also be blown off by wind, and
Into gutter, ocean is eventually entered into.Plastic suction pipe is obscured by fish and seabird for food.In recent study, it is estimated that working as
Preceding about 60% seabird has a plastics in their stomach, and to the year two thousand fifty, and 99% seabird has modeling in their stomach
Material.
In the effort struggled against with this huge environmental problem, disposable plastic suction pipe is in global meal
It is prohibited in the Room, coffee-house and bar.For example, Seattle, Washington city forbade all plastics to inhale from January 1st, 2018
Pipe.Other countries, state and city are during executing the ban of similar disposable plastic suction pipe.Although to by one
Secondary property uses that environmental problem government caused by plastic suction pipe makes efforts and public awareness increases, but plastic suction pipe is in many
Place is still supplied.
People are the reusable suction pipes for carrying themselves without using a solution of plastic suction pipe.But
Problem is made of reusable suction pipe often by glass or metal, and born long, it has not been convenient to be carried.Glass
Suction pipe is easily broken and needs bulky box to prevent them from fractureing.If people take reusable suction pipe to any
Place, they want clean place to place reusable suction pipe.This means that reusable suction pipe is saved
Even than in the larger and more cumbersome box of the glass of current form and metal straw body.

106, a feeding in 108, stretches out across the channel of inner tube 200 206, and from the opposite end of inner tube 200.Cable 402 by
User (direction of the arrow B shown in Figure 14) pulls, and scraper 402 is pulled through to the channel 206 of inner tube 200, thus
There may be sundries therein and fluids for removing.
In a preferred embodiment, scraper 402 is formed by the food grade silicone injected, and the scraper 402 of molding surrounds
The formation of thin cable 404.Cleaning element 400 is by being inserted into suction pipe 100 for the end of cable 404 and pulling the end of cable 404 to draw
Dynamic scraper 402 passes through suction pipe and works.Scraper preferably has " bullet shape " for having ring on it, is attached to line
The end of cable 404.Cleaning element 400 provides the benefit of cleaning suction pipe 100 and is very small compact cleaning systems.Because it
Cooperate into identical box, so it is carried together with suction pipe.
Alternatively, cleaning element may include cleaning brush or scraper with closing magnet.It is in magnet
In box.Using the magnetic force of two magnets, cleaning brush or scraper can be pulled through suction pipe 100.
With reference to Fig. 7 to Fig. 9, suction pipe 100 is illustrated at the folded structure for being inserted into Storage Box 300.In folding
When construction, inner tube 200 is exposed and is folded between pipeline section 104, is stacked and is put with compactly designed each other so that pipeline section 104 is parallel to
It sets.When in folded structure, the cooperation of suction pipe 100 remains folding in the cavity 306 of Storage Box 300, and by Storage Box 300
Construction.Cavity 306 can be covered by the lid 302 for being attached to Storage Box 300 by hinge 304, to further protect suction pipe
It 100 and is installed in order to carry.
As shown in figure 9, suction pipe 100 is back to extensional fault and suction pipe 100 when suction pipe is removed from Storage Box 300
It is ready for drinking liquid.The resilient nature of inner tube 200 makes to be back to from the tensional state in folded structure in stretching, extension
The smaller tensional state of construction, the resilient nature work substantially automatically to stretch and be reconstructed into stretching, extension structure for suction pipe 100
It makes.
As shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11, scraper 402 and cable 404 can be stored in specified at the bottom of Storage Box 300
In region.The cable 404 for winding cleaning element 400 is arranged in spool 308.Recess portion 310 is arranged for receiving scraper
402, for being stored therein in.Storage Box 300 preferably includes the drainage openings 312 being connected to cavity 306, to allow to eject
Self-straw 100 is present in any fluid in cavity 306.Bottom cover 314 is arranged for the spool being enclosed in Storage Box 300
308 and cleaning element 400.Bottom cover 314 may include one or more discharge outlet 316, to allow any liquid from Storage Box
300 are discharged and allow to air-dry internal and be contained in suction pipe 100 therein.Can be set obstruction discharge outlet 316 closure member, with
It prevents from that any liquid is discharged when undesirable, such as when Storage Box 300 is in pocket or handbag.
In a preferred embodiment, for example, Storage Box can be made of following material and including following material: recyclable

Subbase composite material) and other recyclable ABS plastic injected plastics materials, metal hinge, neodymium magnet and glue.It is understood that
, the expected purpose other materials for suitably forming drinking straw and Storage Box is considered as in the scope of the utility model.
With reference to Fig. 5,6 and 12, suction pipe 100 can by pulling tip 220 and 222 to stretch out inner tube 200 from outer tube 102,
So that space is formed between inner tube 200 and the hollow inside 110 of outer tube 102 to clean.Then water can flow through (in such as Fig. 6
Shown in arrow A) end 106 and 108 of outer tube 102, with flush out be present between inner tube 200 and outer tube 102 and pipeline section 104 it
Between any sundries or liquid.As shown in Fig. 6 and Figure 12, the water from faucet can flow through end and along the length of suction pipe 100
Degree flowing, to wash out any sundries.
With reference to Figure 15 and Figure 16, the suction pipe 100 ' of another preferred embodiment, nearside tip 220 ' and distal side point are shown
Portion 222 ' is connected to the corresponding end 106 and 108 of outer tube 102.Each of nearside tip 220 ' and distal side tip 222 ' tool
The reduced diameter portion 232 for having shoulder 230, being configured for insertion into the end 106,108 of outer tube 102, and for receiving fixing belt
240 gap regions 234.Reduced diameter portion 232 is at least partially inserted into the channel 206 of inner tube 200, and fixing belt
240 sets in inner tube 200 and cover in gap regions 234, to clamp and fix inner tube 200 in a manner of being similar to hose clamp
To distal side tip 222 '.Inner tube 200 is maintained under desired tension, is permitted while pipeline section 104 is maintained extensional fault
Perhaps suction pipe 100 is folded into folded structure as described herein when desired.User can pull distal side tip 222 ' with
Inner tube 200 is stretched, so that it is partially protruded into outside outer tube 102, is used for cleaning purpose as described above.Alternatively, inner tube
200 can have limiter in the either end of inner tube 200.Limiter pipeline section 104 to be maintained at around inner tube 200 and
It will not slip.
With reference to Figure 17 and Figure 18, the suction pipe 100 " of another embodiment is shown, wherein inner tube 200 is from the end of outer tube 102
