BEVERAGE CONTAINER WITH EXTENDABLE DRINKING STRAW

摘要

A beverage container incudes a rotatable cover and an automatically extensible drinking straw. The container includes a body with an open top end closed by a removable cap, a straw extending through a conduit in the cap, a cover rotatable on the cap for movement relative to the cap between a first position permitting the straw to extend through a slot in the cover and a second position in which the straw is folded and the slot is closed. A bump on the interior of the cover engages a groove in the cap for indicating when the cover has been rotated to either the first or the second position. The straw includes a first tube formed of elastomeric material and a second tube formed of rigid material. The dimensions of the tubes are such that the firs tube is held between the conduit and the second tube in coaxial relationship therewith in the absence of fastening elements.
