Flavored straw with a flavor delivery system

摘要

A beverage flavoring apparatus comprising of an elongated tubular body, having at least three elongated hollow sections and a container for holding liquid flavor. The top hollow section is for suction and at least one of the hollow sections is adapted to receive liquid flavor and it has a smaller cross sectional area and shorter length which enables the flavoring liquid to be introduced into the beverage stream in minute quantity. The other hollow section is adapted to receive beverage. The container is mounted or loaded on the elongated tubular body so that the section adapted to receive liquid flavor is immersed in the liquid flavor while the other hollow section is dipped in a beverage. As oral suction is being applied, both the liquid flavor and the beverage are drawn up the tubular body and mixes at the hollow suction end before ingestion.

主权项

1. A beverage flavoring apparatus comprising:
a). at least one container adapted for holding a liquid flavoring material, said container having a predetermined cross-sectional shape; b.) a prefabricated elongated tubular body having predetermined dimensions having at least three elongated hollow sections each having an open end and one of said hollow sections being a suction end adapted for application of suction force by the mouth of the user and the other end of the elongate hollow section to be disposed into a liquid; said elongated hollow liquid section further branching into two elongated branched sections; one of said branched section constructed and arranged for receiving a liquid beverage and the other of said branched hollow sections having a smaller cross-sectional area and a shorter length than the elongated suction hollow tubular body, said elongated branched section constructed to receive a minute quantity of liquid flavoring from said container; c.) said container being in operative connection with said elongate tubular body wherein said hollow branched section when in contact with the liquid favoring is in fluid connection with the elongated tubular body such that when the elongated tubular body is immersed in a beverage, the flavoring mixes with the liquid beverage when a suction force is applied by the mouth of the user at the suction end which permits the flavoring from the container and the liquid beverage to travel through the hollow elongated tube forming a single stream of flavored beverage before ingestion by the user.
