Abstract
A straw-insertable, sealing and resealing device is disclosed, including a flexible disk-like body and a geometrically shaped body for a drinking container, especially a container used for beer, soft drink, punch, fruit juice, vegetable juice, drinking water, and other consumable liquids. The said sealing device comprises at least one or a combination of disk-like bodies and geometrically shaped bodies within a drinking container cap having one or plurality of lines of weakness located on the top surface of at least one said body within the container rim adapted for inserting, holding and adjusting the length a drinking straw through the said top surface and thus into the drinking container and resealable when placed back into the said container. Once the container has been opened, one or a plurality of disk-like-bodies or geometrically shaped bodies are removed from within the cap and utilized to hold a drinking straw in place above the rim of the said container while in use. The length of the straw above the container rim is adjusted within at least one said disk-like body or geometrically shaped body to suit the user. At least one flexible disk-like body or geometrically shaped body is also removable or extendable to hold a drinking straw both inside and outside of the drinking container. After use, the straw and disk-like body or geometrically shaped body is discarded or put back into the container cap for resealing. At least one extended disk-like body or geometrically shaped body will also be utilized by the manufacturer to install and store a straw within the container for the consumer's use.
