Benefits of technology

[0009]Therefore it is a primary object of the present invention to provide an environmental protection and sanitary straw cap that is covered on one end of the straw and is reusable while a cut is arranged at a wall of the straw. Thus the straw cap has features of sanitation, environmental protection and high applicability.

Problems solved by technology

No matter what package they use, once the container is opened, the straw is exposed, contact with air and dust, and often become dirty.
If the hand contacts with part of the straw that is placed into the mouth, this affects the sanitary conditions.
Although the sanitary safety is achieved by such package, the cost is increased due to the use of the packing bag that covers the whole straw.
This leads to waste of resources.
And the waste has negative effects on the environmental hygiene and safety.
This means the protective cap is not reusable independently.
Due to the creases in the protective cap, the inner wall of the protective cap is difficult to clean up and sanitary problems raise.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]Refer to FIG. 1, a straw cap (1) is a hollow tube in which one end is a close end (11) and the other end is an open end (12). The open end (12) is used to receive a straight straw (2), also refer to FIG. 2. Moreover, a cut (13) is disposed on a wall of the straw cap (1) and part of the wall of the straw cap (1) opposite to the cut (13) is a connection section (14). The width of the connection section (14) is smaller than a diameter (R) of the straw cap (1). And the width of the cut (13) is at least a half of a circumference of the straw cap (1).

[0021]Refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, in use, one end of the straight straw (2) is inserted into the open end (12) of the straw cap (1) so that one end of the straight straw (2) is covered by the straw cap (1). When a user intends to use the straight straw (2) for drinking juice, the straw cap (1) is directly removed from the straight straw (2). The device is convenient in use and is reusable.

[0022]Refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the straw cap ...

Abstract

An environmental protection and sanitary straw cap is revealed. The straw cap is a hollow tube in which one end is a close end and the other end is an open end. A straw is inserted into the straw cap through the open end. A cut is arranged at a wall of the straw cap and part of the wall of the straw cap opposite to the cut is a connection section. The width of the connection section is smaller than a diameter of the straw cap. Thereby the straw covered with the straw cap achieves sanitation. Moreover, the straw cap is environmental protective due to the reduction of material used in production of the straw cap that covers only one end of the straw and its reuses. Furthermore, the straw cap can be applied to both straight straws and bendable straws. The applicability of the straw cap is enhanced.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Fields of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an environmental protection and sanitary straw cap, especially to a straw cap that is covered on one end of the straw and is reusable. Moreover, a cut is arranged at a surrounding wall of the straw. Thus the straw cap features on environmental protection, sanitation, and high applicability.[0003]2. Descriptions of Related Art[0004]While buying soft drinks at beverage stores, straws are provided for consumers to drink beverages. The straws are always packaged in a plastic bag or in a container. No matter what package they use, once the container is opened, the straw is exposed, contact with air and dust, and often become dirty. Moreover, the user takes the straw by their hands. If the hand contacts with part of the straw that is placed into the mouth, this affects the sanitary conditions.[0005]As to canned drinks and bottled drinks sold in supermarkets, a straw is attached on each drink....
