One-piece drink-through cup lid with a straw section

Abstract

A one-piece drink-through cup lid with a straw section includes a conic section and a detachable tube section. The conic section is axially protruding at a center of the cup lid and forming a rim at a top surface of the conic section. The detachable tube section is axially protruding from the rim of the conic section with a closed surface at a top thereof and an annular tear line at a bottom periphery thereof. The conic section and the tube section are formed in one-piece to ensure the cup lid is fully closed and sealed for practical use, and when the tube section is removed by manually tearing along the tear line, a through hole is formed at a top of the conic section so as to form a conic straw section for easily consuming the drink.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to a drink-through cup lid, particularly to one that is formed in one-piece structure with a conic straw section.2. Description of the Related Art[0002]When drinking beverages and drinks like coffee, juices, tea and milk, single-use long straws are commonly used. Referring to FIG. 1, a long straw 61 is poked through a crossed opening 621 on a cup lid 62 to consume the contents inside a beverage cup 50. However, such long straws are single-use and made of unrecyclable and indecomposable plastics, causing serious outcomes to the environment. On the other hand, the crossed opening 621 on the cup lid 62 is not sealed; therefore there is also the problem of leakage.[0003]In recent years, government agencies in many countries have discussed and proposed many projects for plastic products reduction. In Taiwan, the single-use plastic straw ban is scheduled to be in force in 2019 in fast food restaurants ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0014]With structures disclosed above, the present invention has a conic straw structure formed on the drink-through cup lid to ingeniously integrate a single-use drink-through cup lid with a conic straw section for the purpose of easy carrying of the beverage cup it is place

Problems solved by technology

However, such long straws are single-use and made of unrecyclable and indecomposable plastics, causing serious outcomes to the environment.

Still, there is the problem of weak structure with such straws.

On the other hand, the straws have to be separately carried from the beverage cups and therefore it is common for the straws to be inadvertently fallen, forgotten or ignored.
