Abstract

Tube for sucking up a beverage from a container. The invention relates to a tube for sucking up a beverage, the shape of which tube can be changed by the user as many times as he wishes, simply by the force of his fingers. The tube for sucking up a beverage according to the invention consists of a longitudinally flexible tube 1 made from plastic and containing an outgrowth 2 in its internal part and in which there is embedded, in the direction of the length, a wire 4 capable of retaining the movements which are given to it. The beverage flows through the orifice 3 of the tube.

Description

La présente invention concerne les tubes pour l'aspiration d'un liquide hors d'un conteneur. The present invention relates to tubes for sucking a liquid out of a container.

Les pailles précédemment connues pour l'aspiration de boissons ont déjà été pourvues de portions tortueuses. The straws previously known for sucking drinks have already been provided with tortuous portions.

Mais de telles pailles étaient fabriquées en matière plastique rigide, ce qui interdisait à l'usager de modifier la forme donnée elors de la fabrication. En plus de la lassitude qu'engendraient rapidement ces pailles à forme unique chez l'usager, s'ajoutait un transport malaise en raison de la rigidité du-matériau choisi.But such straws were made of rigid plastic, which prohibited the user from modifying the given shape during manufacture. In addition to the weariness quickly generated by these single-form straws for the user, there was also uncomfortable transport due to the rigidity of the chosen material.

Le problème était d'inventer une paille suffisamment souple longitudinalement pour que l'usager puisse lui donner un mouvement de son choix par la seule force de ses doigts ou l'enrouler à plat pour la transporter, et suffisamment rigide pour qu'elle conserve les formes qui lui sont données
La présente invention apporte un tube pour l'aspiration d'un liquide de boisson hors d'un conteneur comportant, d'une part, un tube creux et souple par lequel le liquide peut être aspiré, et, d'autre part, un fil métallique noyé dans une excroissance à l'intérieur du tube, sur toute sa longueur. La présence du fil métal- lique doit permettre à la paille de conserver les formes que l'usager souhaite lui donner. L'excroissance est orientée evers l'intérieur du tube et appartient à sa paroi.La paille selon l'invention doit être suffisamment longue pour que l'usager puisse réaliser des figures complexes
Dans une variante d'exécution de la présente invention, le fil métallique est noyé directement dans la paroi du tube sans excroissance.The problem was to invent a straw flexible enough longitudinally so that the user could give it a movement of their choice by the sole force of their fingers or roll it up flat to transport it, and rigid enough so that it retained the forms given to it
The present invention provides a tube for the suction of a beverage liquid from a container comprising, on the one hand, a hollow and flexible tube through which the liquid can be sucked, and, on the other hand, a wire. metallic embedded in a protrusion inside the tube, over its entire length. The presence of the metallic wire should allow the straw to keep the shapes that the user wishes to give it. The protrusion is oriented towards the inside of the tube and belongs to its wall. The straw according to the invention must be long enough for the user to be able to produce complex figures.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the metal wire is embedded directly in the wall of the tube without protuberance.

D'autres formes de réalisation sont envisageables en ayant recours à plusieurs fils métalliques et éven- tuellement à plusieurs excroissances, sans pour cela sortir du cadre de l'invention. Other embodiments can be envisaged by using several metallic wires and possibly several protuberances, without thereby departing from the scope of the invention.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention - la figure 1 représente en coupe, la paille selon l'invention - la figure 2 représente en coupe, une variante de cette paille. The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention - Figure 1 shows in section, the straw according to the invention - Figure 2 shows in section, a variant of this straw.

La paille représentée sur la figure 1 comporte un tube en matière plastique souple ayant un diamètre extérieur de l'ordre de 6 millimétres et dont la paroi (i) est épaisse d'environ 1 millimètre. Dans une excroissance (2) faisant partie intégrante du tube, est noyé un fil métallique (4) d'une épaisseur de 1 millimètre. L'orifice (3) permet le passage de la boisson. The straw shown in FIG. 1 comprises a flexible plastic tube having an outside diameter of the order of 6 millimeters and the wall (i) of which is approximately 1 millimeter thick. In a protrusion (2) forming an integral part of the tube, is embedded a metal wire (4) with a thickness of 1 millimeter. The opening (3) allows the passage of the drink.

Selon la figure 2, deux fils métalliques (4a) et (5a) sont directement insérés dans la paroi (la). According to Figure 2, two metal wires (4a) and (5a) are directly inserted into the wall (la).

Avant la première utilisation, la paille selon l'invention est rectiligne; l'usager lui donne la forme qu'il souhaite en utilisant la seule force de ses doigts. La portion de la paille destinée à a'être plongée dans la boisson et la portion destinée à être prise en bouche par l'usager sont de préférence conservées rectilignes. Lorsque l'usager souhaite changer la forme de sa paille, il lui suffit de la redresser puis de lui donner un mouvement nouveau. Before the first use, the straw according to the invention is straight; the user gives it the shape they want by using only the force of their fingers. The portion of the straw intended to be immersed in the drink and the portion intended to be taken into the mouth by the user are preferably kept straight. When the user wishes to change the shape of his straw, he just needs to straighten it and then give it a new movement.

Le tube de l'invention est fabriqué en une matière plastique non toxique, souple longitudinalement et agréée par les services d'hygiène, par exemple en PVC d'une dureté shore de 79. Le fil métallique doit être à la fois maléable et conserver les formes qui lui sont données, présenter une grande résistance aux torsions et Entre inoxidable. On peut donc choisir un fil de fer galvanise sur recuit, d'une résistance de 40 a' 50 kilogrammes au centi- mètre carré et ayant subi une triple galvanisation. La fabrication du tube de PVC et l'insertion du fil de fer peuvent être réalisées en une seule opération, en utili sant l'extrusion.  The tube of the invention is made of a non-toxic plastic material, flexible longitudinally and approved by the hygiene services, for example PVC with a shore hardness of 79. The metal wire must be both malleable and keep the forms given to it, have a high resistance to torsion and Entre inoxidable. We can therefore choose an annealed galvanized wire, with a resistance of 40 to 50 kilograms per square centimeter and having undergone a triple galvanization. The manufacture of the PVC tube and the insertion of the wire can be carried out in a single operation, using extrusion.
