Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] When the placement portion for storing the water outlet pipe has a bottom, dirt tends to accumulate on the bottom, and it is also difficult to remove the dirt. If a hole is provided in the placement portion, maintenance becomes easier, but the straw will fall off unless it is fixed in some way. On one side, an object of the present invention is to be able to stably hold a straw.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] To achieve the above object, a disclosed beverage container is provided. This beverage container includes a container body for storing a beverage, a lid portion that has an insertion hole for inserting a straw into the container body and covers the opening of the container body, and a handle portion that is disposed on a side portion of the container body and has a through hole for inserting the straw and is gripped by a user. A non-slip member is disposed at a portion of the through hole that is gripped by the user, and the straw can be supported with greater friction by the user's grip than when not being gripped.

[Figure 7] This figure illustrates a modified example of the anti-slip member of the embodiment. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0008] The beverage container of this embodiment will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0009] The positions, sizes, shapes, and ranges of the components shown in the following drawings may not represent their actual positions, sizes, shapes, and ranges in order to facilitate understanding of the invention. Therefore, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the positions, sizes, shapes, and ranges disclosed in the drawings. In the embodiments, elements expressed in the singular form shall include the plural form unless otherwise clearly indicated in the text. <Embodiment> Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views showing a beverage container according to the embodiment. Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the beverage container according to the embodiment. The beverage container 10 of this embodiment includes a container body 1, a lid 2, a handle 3, a straw 4, and a silicone stopper 5.

[0010] The container body 1 has, for example, a bottomed cylindrical vacuum double-wall structure, and as shown in FIG. 3, includes a storage portion 11 for storing a beverage (not shown) and an opening portion 12 through which the beverage in the storage portion 11 flows out. Examples of the constituent material of the container body 1 include stainless steel and the like. The lid portion 2 has a straw receiver 21, an upper lid 22, a heat insulating material 23, a lower lid 24, and a packing 25. The straw receiver 21 is attached between the upper lid 22 and the lower lid 24. A hole portion 21a for inserting the straw 4 is provided in the straw receiver 21. An arrangement portion 22a for arranging the straw receiver 21 is formed in the upper lid 22. [[ID=​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​As shown in FIG. 4, the opening 32 is disposed at a portion of the handle portion 3 where the user's finger (for example, around the second joint of the middle finger and the ring finger) is located when the user grips the handle portion 3.

[0015] A part of the anti-slip member 33 is embedded in the opening 32. The friction coefficient of the anti-slip member 33 is larger than the friction coefficient in the through hole 31. When the straw 4 is inserted into the through hole 31, the friction generated between the anti-slip member 33 and the straw 4 suppresses the straw 4 from detaching from the handle portion 3 due to its own weight even when the user is not gripping the handle portion 3.

[0016] FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the anti-slip member. FIG. 5(a) is a front view of the anti-slip member 33, FIG. 5(b) is a left side view of the anti-slip member 33, and FIG. 5(c) is a rear view of the anti-slip member 33.

[0017] The anti-slip member 33 can be removed from the opening 32. This anti-slip member 33 is formed of, for example, silicone rubber and is deformed by the user's gripping. The hardness of the anti-slip member 33 is, for example, 25 to 35 (Shore A). The anti-slip member 33 has an upper engaging portion 331, a lower engaging portion 332, a contact portion 333, and a lid portion 334. The upper engaging portion 331 and the lower engaging portion 332 engage with the opening end portions of the opening 32, respectively.

[0018] The contact portion 333 contacts the opening end portion of the opening 32. In FIG. 5(a), the shape of the opening end portion of the opening 32 is shown by a dotted line. Further, the contact portion 333 contacts the straw 4 when the straw 4 is inserted into the through hole 31. The lid portion 334 is plate-shaped and covers the opening 32.

[0019] When removing the anti-slip member 33 from the opening 32, the user grasps the flip-up portion 334a or flip-up portion 334b ​​located at the upper and lower ends of the lid portion 334 with their fingers and flips it up to detach it from the opening 32. This allows the anti-slip member 33 to be easily removed from the opening 32. Furthermore, since the lid portion 334 is flat, it integrates with the handle portion 3 during normal use, preventing the anti-slip member 33 from unintentionally coming off the opening 32. Figure 6 illustrates the anti-slip component when the user grips the object.

[0020] When the user grips the anti-slip member 33, the anti-slip member 33 elastically deforms, and the contact portion 333 is pressed more firmly against the straw 4. This allows the user to support the straw 4 with more force than when the user is not gripping the handle portion 3, and prevents the straw 4 from falling due to its own weight. By setting the hardness of the anti-slip member 33 to, for example, 25-35 (Shore A), the anti-slip member 33 can be elastically deformed by the user's natural gripping motion of the handle portion 3, even without the user intentionally applying force. Therefore, even if the user suddenly weakens their grip on the handle portion 3 or the straw 4 comes into contact with an object, the friction can prevent the straw 4 from falling. Let's return to Figure 1 and explain again.

[0021] The silicone stopper 5 can be attached to the top of the straw holder 21 when the straw 4 is inserted into the through hole 31, thereby preventing foreign objects from entering the beverage container 1. Also, as shown in Figure 2, when the straw 4 is inserted into the straw holder 21, the silicone stopper 5 can be attached to the top of the handle part 3, thereby sealing the through hole 31. The user can hold the handle part 3 stably by pressing the silicone stopper 5 with their thumb.

[0022] As described above, the beverage container 10 of the embodiment comprises a container body 1 for storing beverages, a lid 2 that covers the opening 12 of the container body 1 and has an insertion hole (placement part 22a, hole part 24a) for inserting a straw 4 into the container body 1, and a handle part 3 that is positioned on the side of the container body 1 and has a through hole 31 for inserting a straw 4 and is held by the user. A non-slip member 33 is provided at the part of the through hole 31 that is held by the user, so that the straw 4 is supported with greater friction by the user's grip than when it is not held. Therefore, the straw 4 can be held stably. In addition, by using a through hole 31, the inside of the through hole 31 can be easily cleaned.

[0023] Furthermore, the placement of the anti-slip member 33 allows the user to firmly grip the handle 3. In addition, since the anti-slip member 33 can be removed from the opening 32, cleaning of the anti-slip member 33 is also easy. Note that the shape of the anti-slip member 33 is not limited to that shown in Figure 5. Figure 7 illustrates a modified example of the anti-slip member of the embodiment.

[0024] The anti-slip member 33a shown in Figure 7(a) has a projection 335 formed between the index finger and the middle finger. This allows the user to grip the anti-slip member 33a more stably.

[0025] The anti-slip member 33b shown in Figure 7(b) has a contact portion 333b that is wider than the contact portion 333. The central part of the contact portion 333b has a recess 333b1, and when the contact portion 333a is elastically deformed, the contact portion 333a fits into the space within the recess 333b1, thereby gripping the straw 4 more securely.

[0026] Furthermore, the upper engaging portion 331b and the lower engaging portion 332b are semi-circular in shape, and stepped portions 331b1 and 332b1 are formed, respectively. The formation of stepped portions 331b1 and 332b1 prevents the anti-slip member 33 from unintentionally coming out of the opening 32.

[0027] The anti-slip member 33c shown in Figure 7(c) has a cover portion 334c that becomes thicker towards the end. By providing the cover portion 334c, the surface area that comes into contact with the fingers is increased, allowing for a more stable grip on the handle portion 3.

[0028] Although the beverage container of the present invention has been described above based on the illustrated embodiment, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the configuration of each part can be replaced with any configuration having a similar function. Furthermore, other arbitrary components or processes may be added to the present invention. [Explanation of Symbols]
