Description
June 12, 1934. -M TATE A 1,962,883
COMBINATION CONTAINER AND STRAW Filed Aug. 24, 1932 Marj 5?e William W Ower MTOFQNEYQ Patented June 12, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 5 Claims.
The invention is a container having a straw provided therein in which the straw is made of a cellulose or translucent material and the container is provided with a cover having an opening with a removable closure therefor.
One object of the invention is to provide a container similar to a soft drink bottle having a straw provided therein and in which it is not necessary to remove the bottle closure in order to drink the contents thereof thru the straw.
Another object of the invention is to provide a straw or container of a cellulose or translucent material.
Another object of the invention is to provide a straw for a container in which the material used is impervious to water or the like.
Another object of the invention is to provide a straw or the like in which the necessity of coating the straw with paraffin or the like is eliminated.
A further object of the invention is to provide a closure for a container having a removable flap covering an opening in the closure so that the opening may be opened without removing the cap.
And a still further object of the invention is to provide a container, straw or the like which is of a simple and economical construction.
With these ends in view the invention embodies a bottle having a cap with an opening therein and a removable flap forming a closure for said opening, and in combination therewith a straw or a container made of a cellulose or translucent material.
Other features and advantages of the invention will appear from the following description taken in connection with the drawing, wherein:
Figure 1 is a view showing a bottle having a straw contained therein.
Figure 2 is a view showing a side elevation of a bottle cap with part broken away showing an opening in which a straw may be provided.
Figure 3 is a plan view of the bottle cap.
Figure 4 is a view showing a straw.
Figure 5 is a view showing a cup that may be made of a cellulose or translucent material.
In the drawing the device is shown as it would be made wherein numeral 1 indicates a straw, numeral 2 a bottle, and numeral 3 a cap forming a closure for said bottle.
The straw 1 may be made of any material and of any design or description. It is preferred to make the straw of a colored cellophane which is substantially transparent so that when incorporated in the bottle, as shown in Figure 1, it will show thru the bottle and anyone can readily observe the interior of the straw and therefore determine whether or not it is clean and unobstructed. It will be noted that straws are normally made of a fibrous material and then' coated with paraffin or the like which forms a waterproof covering whereas by making the straws of cellophane or other cellulose materials it will not'be necessary to coat them with paraffin and they will be impervious to water or moisture at all times. The coating operation is, therefore, v eliminated as well as the paraffin taste when using the straw. It will be noted that the cellophane or the like may be provided in plain or variated colors and the colors may be associated with various products if desired. It will also be noted that drinking cups 4, as shown in Figure 5,
or other similar products may be made of the same material which would be impervious to water and which will also eliminate the step required to coat these devices with paraffin. These products may also be made of any color or design.
In Figure 1 the straw is shown in combination with a bottle of thesoft drink type and the bottle is closed with a cap 3 that is crimped over so the upper edge thereof and the cap is provided with an opening 5 in which the material from the head of the cap from which the opening is formed is bent inward forming prongs 6 which form guides for the upper end of the straw. It 5 will be noted that the cap is placed upon the bottle and then the straw placed thru the opening with the upper end of 'the straw extending upward to the upper surface of the cap or to the point 6 and a flap '7 is placed on the cap with soft solder or the like, with the solder extending from the point 8 to the point 9 and the opposite end 10 of the flap free. This will form a complete seal for the bottle and. when in place the. straw 1 will be sealed therein. The end 10 of the flap is free so that when it is desired to open the bottle the free end 10 may be bent upward from the point 8, as indicated by the dotted lines 11, and this will give sufficient purchase so that the remainder of the flap may readily be pulled from the cap. When the flap is removed the buoyancy of the fluid in the bottle will raise the straw 1 to the position indicated by the dotted lines 12 shown in Figure 1 and the straw may then be gripped by hand or held between the lips to draw the contents out of the bottle. It willbe noted that when used for pop or the like straws of different colors may be used to indicate different products and labels on the bottles may be dispensed with so that bottles may be readily no extending projections around said Y kept in ice water or losing the labels. It will also be understood that the straws will add an attractive feature to they bottles and will therefore have a considerable advantage as an advertising novelty.
It'will be understood that straws or. containers of cellophane, cellulose products or translucent other type or havin'gfa closure of any other design, another may be in the use of other means for holding the straw in the bottle and still another may be in the use of other means of removing the straw from the bottle.
The construction will be readilyunderstood from the foregoing description. In use the straw or container may be provided as shown and described and when filling the bottles the caps with the openings therein may be placed upon the bottles in the usual manner, the straws may then be placed therein thru the openings and the flaps may then be installed upon the caps. .The bottles may then be supplied or used in the usual manner.
Having thus fully described the invention what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: v
1. A bottle, a cap having an opening therein forming a closure for said bottle, a straw in said bottle with the upper end held in said opening, and a flap soft soldered on said cap over said opening and forming a closure therefor.
. 2. A bottle, a cap with an opening therein forming a closure for said bottle, downwardly opening, a straw in said bottle with the upper end held besaid bottle. an opening 1,oe2,ssa the like without danger of tween said projections, and'a flap cemented to the cap forming a closure for sealing said opening.
3. In combination, a bottle, a cap secured to thru said cap, a cover platesoft soldered to said cap and sealing said opening. a straw in said corresponding with said opening, and means holding the upper end of said straw directly below said opening.
4. In combination, a bottle, a closure for said bottle, saidclosure having an opening therethru, readily removable means sealing said opening, a straw in said bottle positioned with the upper end directly below said opening, and means, holding the upper end of said straw, said straw adapted to move upward thru the opening by the buoyancy of a fluid in the bottle when the means for sealing the opening is removed. 5. The combination with a bottle of the type having a ridge at the open end thereof adapted to receive and hold a closure; of a closure of the stamped metal type adapted to be crimped over the ridge ofsaid bottle and in which the closure bottle with the upper endis providedwith anopening with prongs formed of the metal stamped from. the opening extending downward into the bottle, said closure having a secondary closure covering and sealing said opening and adapted to be readily removed with the closure in place, and also of I astraw positioned in said bottle and with the upper end held between the downwardly projecting prongs from the opening of the closure, said straw adapted to be raised by the buoyancy of 'a fluid in the bottle so that the upper end thereof will pass upward thru the opening as the secondary closure is removed thereby making it possible to use the straw with: out removing the bottle closure.
