[0031] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0032] Example 1:
[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a straw assist device, including a sleeve 1, a hook 2, a straw 3, and an outer packaging 4. The hook 2 is disposed on the sleeve 1, the sleeve 1 is slidably connected to the straw 3, and the outer packaging 4 is disposed outside the sleeve 1 and the straw 3.
[0034] This utility model embodiment protects the sleeve 1 with the inserted straw 3 from external bacteria or viruses by setting an outer packaging 4. When in use, the opening of the outer packaging 4 is torn open, the tip of the straw 3 is inserted into the drink, the finger is placed in the pull hook 2, and the straw 3 is pushed into the drink by pushing the flat end of the straw 3. Finally, the sleeve and outer packaging are separated from the straw. During this process, people's hands can avoid direct contact with the straw 3, which greatly reduces the probability of bacteria or viruses on the hands spreading to the straw 3.
[0035] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the hook 2 is vertically centered and symmetrically arranged on the sleeve 1. By setting the hook 2, the straw 3 can be removed from the beverage with only one hand, which greatly improves the convenience of operation; the vertically centered arrangement makes the sleeve 1 more evenly stressed during operation.
[0036] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figures 1 to 2As shown, the hook 2 has an opening on its outer side. By making the hook 2 open, the differences in the thickness of different people's fingers are fully considered. Regardless of whether the fingers are thick or thin, people can easily insert their fingers into the hook 2 to operate, which enhances the versatility of the straw 3 assistor and allows it to meet the needs of more people.
[0037] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the sleeve 1 and the hook 2 are integrally molded from plastic material. By using plastic material to make the sleeve 1 and the hook 2, the overall weight is very light and easy to use. By making the sleeve 1 and the hook 2 an integral unit, the structure becomes more stable.
[0038] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the sleeve 1 is provided with several different diameters. By setting the sleeve 1 to different diameters, it can be used to fit straws 3 of different diameters, thereby greatly improving compatibility with different beverages.
[0039] In the specific implementation of the straw assist device provided in this embodiment of the utility model, the outer packaging 4 is torn open, the tip of the straw 3 is inserted into the beverage, the index and middle fingers of one hand are respectively inserted into the hooks 2 on both sides of the sleeve 1, and then the thumb is used to press the flat end of the straw 3. At the same time as pressing, the index and middle fingers hook the hooks 2, and the straw 3 and the sleeve 1 move relative to each other until the straw 3 is completely inserted into the beverage. Throughout the process, the hand does not directly contact the straw 3, which greatly reduces the probability of bacteria or viruses on the hand spreading to the straw 3, and provides a strong guarantee for our safety in use.
[0040] Example 2:
[0041] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that it also includes a semi-circular sleeve 1a, which is fixedly connected to an integrated outer packaging 4a.
[0042] This utility model embodiment sets the sleeve 1 as a semi-circular sleeve 1a, fixes an integrated outer packaging 4a to the semi-circular sleeve 1a, and encapsulates the straw 3 inside the integrated outer packaging 4a, saving the material of the outer packaging 4 and making the appearance more concise.
[0043] In the specific implementation of the straw assist device provided in this embodiment of the utility model, the tip of the straw 3 is aligned with the film on the beverage. The index and middle fingers of one hand are inserted into the hooks 2 on both sides of the semi-circular sleeve 1a and hooked onto the hooks 2. The thumb is used to press the flat end of the straw 3 so that the straw 3 pierces the beverage film and is slowly pushed into the beverage. Throughout the process, the hand does not directly contact the straw 3, so bacteria or viruses on the hand will not be spread to the straw 3, thus ensuring the hygiene of the beverage.
[0044] Example 3:
[0045] like Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and other embodiments is that it also includes a long sleeve 5, and the hand-held end of the long sleeve 5 is provided with a pull plate 2a.
[0046] This utility model embodiment, by setting the sleeve 1 as a long sleeve 5, can better protect the internal straw 3 and prevent the straw 3 from being damaged by external force. By setting the pull plate 2a at the hand-held end of the sleeve 1, the middle and index fingers can better bear the force when the straw 3 is pushed out, increasing the convenience of use.
[0047] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figures 7 to 8 As shown, the non-hand-held end of the long sleeve 5 is provided with a radially extending retaining ring 6. By providing the retaining ring 6, the retaining ring 6 can be blocked from the outside by the beverage packaging, preventing the long sleeve 5 from being inserted into the beverage when it is forcefully punctured, thus reducing the risk of the beverage being invaded by bacteria or viruses.
[0048] In one feasible implementation scheme, such as Figures 7 to 8 As shown, the long sleeve 5 and the straw 3 are slidably connected. The length of the long sleeve 5 is shorter than the length of the straw 3, and the tip of the straw 3 is hidden inside the long sleeve 5. By setting the length of the long sleeve 5 to be shorter than the length of the straw 3, it prevents the straw 3 from being unable to be pushed out of the long sleeve 5 normally. Hiding the tip of the straw 3 inside the long sleeve 5 prevents the tip of the straw 3 from puncturing the outer packaging 4 when not in use, thereby preventing damage to the outer packaging 4 and contamination of the straw 3.
[0049] In the specific implementation of the straw assist device provided in this embodiment of the utility model, the opening of the outer packaging 4 is torn open, the fixing ring 6 at the end of the long sleeve 5 is pressed against the beverage packaging, the index and middle fingers are hooked on the pull plate 2a, and the thumb pushes the flat end of the straw 3 so that the tip of the straw 3 pierces the beverage packaging and inserts into the beverage. Throughout the process, the hand does not directly contact the straw 3. The long sleeve 5 protects the straw 3 from damage and better reduces the possibility of bacteria or viruses being spread to the beverage.
[0050] Example 4:
[0051] like Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and other embodiments is that it also includes a semi-circular long sleeve 5a, which is fixedly connected to an integrated outer packaging 4a.
[0052] This embodiment of the utility model reduces some of the manufacturing materials by setting the long sleeve 5 as a semi-circular sleeve 1a. The integrated outer packaging 4a on the semi-circular long sleeve 5a makes the appearance simpler, which can save manufacturing materials, prevent the straw 3 from being damaged, and prevent the straw 3 from being contaminated by bacteria or viruses.
[0053] In the specific implementation of the straw assist device provided in this embodiment of the utility model, the index and middle fingers of one hand hook the pull plate 2a, the thumb presses the flat end of the straw 3, and at the same time, the tip of the straw 3 is pressed against the film of the beverage, so that the tip of the straw 3 first pierces the outer packaging 4 and then pierces the beverage film. The semi-circular long sleeve 5a prevents the straw 3 from being damaged by external force, and the integrated outer packaging 4a protects the straw 3 from being contaminated by bacteria or viruses.
[0054] The straw 3 and outer packaging 4 in this utility model are already disclosed technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0055] It should be noted that the plastic material used in this utility model may be, but is not limited to, rigid food-grade plastics such as PET and PP, and is not limited herein.
[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
