Example

[0065]In the third embodiment, the detachment means 130 is a magnet type detachment means 130, and includes thin magnets 133a and 133b.

[0066]That is, like the Velcro tapes 132a and 132b of the second preferred embodiment, one side body 110a of both side bodies 110a and 110b has the magnet 133a formed on the inner surface thereof, and the other one 110b has the magnet 133b formed on the outer surface thereof, such that both side bodies 110a and 110b come into close contact with each other when both magnets 133a and 133b are adhered to each other by a magnetic force.

[0067]On the contrary to the above, one side body 110a of both side bodies 110a and 110b has the magnet 133a formed on the outer surface thereof, and the other one 110b has the magnet 133b formed on the inner surface thereof, such that both side bodies 110a and 110b come into close contact with each other when both magnets 133a and 133b are adhered to each other by a magnetic force.

[0068]Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 3...

Example

[0070]In the fourth embodiment, the detachment means 130 is a hanger type detachment means 130, and includes holding members 134a and 134b and hook members 135a and 135b.

[0071]In the case of the straw having hanger type detachment means 130, the straw does not include the connective joints 120 but includes an integrated side body 110.

[0072]The integrated side body 110 is made of a synthetic resin material or a stainless steel material, which is capable of maintaining the basic form of a nearly circular shape due to its good elasticity.

[0073]In FIG. 4A, the holding members 134a and 134b are formed at both ends of the integrated side body 110 to correspond to each other. Therefore, when a user presses the integrated side body 110 of an elastic body at the left and right of the drawings, while both ends of the integrated side body 110 are retracted inwardly, the holding members 134a and 134b intercross each other and are caught together to retaining jaws of the holding members 134a an...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a washable straw and, more specifically, to a straw capable of being washed after being used for drinking a beverage, by sealing or opening the lateral side of a side body by circularly rolling side bodies, connected by connective joints, or an integrally formed side body. The washable straw includes: side bodies having a predetermined thickness, and formed so as to be long in the vertical direction; connective joints made of a flexible material, and allowing the side bodies to be rolled by joining the side bodies; and a detachment means provided at both of the outermost side bodies among the side bodies connected by the connective joint so as to detach both side bodies, wherein a closely adhered state in which both side bodies overlap by rolling the plurality of side bodies is maintained.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a washable straw, and more particularly, to a straw capable of being washed after being used as a straw for drinking a beverage, by sealing or opening the lateral side of a side body by circularly rolling side bodies connected via connective joints, or a side body integrally formed.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In general, when a person drinks milk, beverage or water in a glass or a can, he or she drinks directly from the glass or the can, but frequently drinks milk, beverage or water contained in the glass or the can using a straw.[0003]Such a straw has an inner hollow portion. So, when a user sucks milk, beverage or water through the straw using a suction force after putting an upper portion of the straw into his or her mouth, the milk, beverage or water is sucked through a lower portion of the straw, such that the user can drink the milk, beverage or water.[0004]Moreover, there are two kinds of straws: one being a straight straw; and th...
