Description

Drink pack with straw

[0001] The present invention relates to a beverage pack equipped with a straw, and more specifically, to a beverage pack equipped with an environmentally friendly straw, in which a straw is provided between the inner and outer rims of the beverage pack, and the inner rim is pierced with the straw when used to enable drinking of the beverage, and the straw is made of the same material as the beverage pack, so that it can be recycled together with the beverage pack, thereby preventing the generation of non-recyclable waste.

[0002]

[0003] It is usually provided with a straw attached to a beverage container such as milk, soy milk, or coffee.

[0004] At this time, the straw is usually stored in a plastic wrapper and attached to the side of the beverage container with adhesive.

[0005] However, since the straws and plastic wrappers must be manufactured separately from the beverage container, the straws must be placed in the plastic wrappers, sealed, and then attached to the beverage container with adhesive, the production facilities must be increased, which increases costs, the number of manufacturing processes must be increased, which reduces productivity, and non-recyclable waste such as straws and plastic wrappers must be generated, which is not environmentally friendly.

[0006] To solve these problems, Patent Publication No. 10-2021-0020557 discloses a beverage container with an integrated straw, in which the straw is formed integrally with the beverage container inside the beverage container, eliminating the need to manufacture the straw separately from the beverage container, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process, improving productivity, facilitating recycling, and enhancing convenience of use. Patent Registration No. 10-2079156 discloses a beverage container with a built-in straw, which has a straw formed integrally inside, for convenience in distribution and handling.

[0007] However, the above conventional technology has a problem in that the straw is provided inside a container containing the beverage, and thus the beverage may leak through the straw even under a small amount of pressure when the container is pressurized.

[0008] In addition, since the straw is made of the same material as the lining of the beverage container, that is, paper, and only one side that touches the beverage is coated, the straw remains in contact with the beverage during distribution, so the beverage is absorbed through the uncoated end or internal passage of the straw, deforming the straw and causing problems such as the beverage being contaminated by the dissolved substances in the straw.

[0009]

[0010] The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, and the purpose of the present invention is to provide an environmentally friendly beverage pack equipped with a straw, in which a straw is provided between the inner and outer sides of a beverage pack, and the inner side is pierced with the straw when used to enable drinking of a beverage, and the straw is made of the same material as the beverage pack so that it can be recycled together with the beverage pack, thereby preventing the generation of non-recyclable waste.

[0011] In addition, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a beverage pack equipped with a straw that enables drinking of a beverage by piercing the inner part when using a straw provided between the inner and outer parts of the beverage pack, and prevents deformation of the straw or contamination of the beverage because the straw does not come into contact with the beverage during distribution.

[0012]

[0013] The present invention to achieve the above purposes,

[0014] In a beverage pack having a sealed space inside which a beverage is contained, a straw formed of the same material as the inner layer is provided between the inner layer and the outer layer, and the outer layer is partially opened to expose the straw, and an end of the straw can penetrate the inner layer and enter the sealed space so that the beverage can be consumed through the straw.

[0015] In addition, the groove portion that receives the lower end of the straw may be formed integrally, and the outer portion may be formed integrally with the cover portion that receives the outer side of the straw.

[0016] Additionally, the cover portion may be provided with a cut portion so that the upper portion covering the upper end of the straw can be opened.

[0017] Additionally, the home portion may be formed so that the lower portion is spaced upwards by a certain distance from the bottom of the sealed space of the beverage pack.

[0018] Additionally, the groove portion may be formed so that the depth increases toward the sealed space as it goes downward.

[0019] Additionally, the above-mentioned home portion may be provided with a thin film portion formed thinner than the surrounding area at the bottom.

[0020] In addition, the straw is formed to be bent so that the upper and lower ends form an obtuse angle, and the bent portion can be formed as a wrinkle portion.

[0021]

[0022] According to the present invention, a straw is provided between the inner and outer sides of a beverage pack, and when used, the inner side is pierced with the straw to enable drinking of the beverage. In addition, since the straw is made of the same material as the beverage pack, it can be recycled together with the beverage pack, so that no non-recyclable waste is generated, thereby achieving an excellent environmentally friendly effect.

[0023] In addition, the present invention enables drinking of a beverage by piercing the inner part of a beverage pack when using a straw provided between the inner and outer parts, and has the additional effect of preventing deformation of the straw or contamination of the beverage since the straw does not come into contact with the beverage during distribution.

[0038]

[0039] The present invention relates to an environmentally friendly beverage pack (100, hereinafter referred to as a "beverage pack") in which a straw is provided between the inner and outer layers of a beverage pack, and when used, the inner layer is pierced with the straw to enable drinking of a beverage, and the straw is made of the same material as the beverage pack so that the straw can be recycled together with the beverage pack, thereby preventing the generation of non-recyclable waste. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a straw (130) formed of the same material as the inner layer (110) is provided between the inner layer (110) and the outer layer (120) forming the beverage pack (100), so that the straw (130) can be recycled together with the beverage pack (100), and there is an effect in which a separate packaging material for storing the straw (130) is not required.

[0040] At this time, the beverage pack (100) is formed by joining the inner part (110) and the outer part (120), and a sealed space is formed by folding to accommodate the beverage inside. The inner part (110) and the outer part (120) are made of paper material, and it is preferable that polyethylene (PE) is applied to at least the inner surface of the inner part (110) and the outer surface of the outer part (120) for waterproofing.

[0041] In addition, the straw (130) is made of paper material, which is the same material as the inner part (110), and it is preferable that polyethylene (PE) is applied to the entire body for waterproofing.

[0042] Therefore, after drinking the beverage, the beverage pack (100) can be recycled together with the paper pack with the straw (130) included, and no separate plastic packaging is required to package the straw (130), and since no plastic straw is used, no small, non-recyclable waste such as plastic packaging or plastic straws is generated, so it has the effect of being environmentally friendly.

[0043] More specifically, the inner portion (110) is formed integrally with a groove portion (112) that accommodates the lower end of the straw (130), and the outer portion (120) is formed integrally with a cover portion (122) that accommodates the outer side of the straw (130).

[0044] Thus, a space is formed between the home portion (112) and the cover portion (122) to accommodate the straw (130), thereby enabling the straw (130) to be stored during distribution.

[0045] In addition, since the straw (130) does not come into contact with the beverage contained in the sealed space (10) of the beverage pack (100) during the distribution process due to the above configuration, the shape of the straw (130) is completely preserved, and there is an effect of preventing the beverage from being contaminated by the dissolved substance of the straw (130).

[0046] In addition, the cover portion (122) may be provided with a cut portion (124) so ​​that the upper portion covering the upper end of the straw (130) can be opened.

[0047] The above-mentioned cutting portion (124) is configured so that a cutting line is formed at a certain position between the outer part (120) and the cover part (122), and can be removed by cutting along the cutting line when necessary.

[0048] At this time, the cutting part (124) is provided with a handle on one side, so that cutting can be performed more easily.

[0049] Referring to (a) and (b) of FIG. 4, when the cut portion (124) is removed as described above, the upper part of the straw (130), i.e., the part that the user puts his / her mouth to when drinking a beverage, is exposed to the outside.

[0050] Thereafter, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 6, the lower end of the groove (112) is pressed with the straw (130) to open the lower end of the groove (112), thereby allowing the lower end of the straw (130) to enter the interior of the sealed space (10), thereby enabling drinking of a beverage through the straw (130).

[0051] Here, the home portion (112) may be formed so that the lower portion is spaced upwards by a certain distance from the bottom of the sealed space (10) of the beverage pack (100).

[0052] Therefore, when the straw (130) enters the sealed space (10) through the lower end of the groove (112), the lower end of the straw (130) does not touch the bottom of the sealed space (10), so that the straw (130) enters smoothly, and when drinking a beverage, the beverage is collected in the space formed between the lower end of the groove (112) and the bottom of the sealed space (10), so that the contained beverage can be completely consumed.

[0053] In addition, the groove portion (112) may be provided with a thin film portion (112a) formed thinner than the surrounding area at the bottom, and the thin film portion (112a) is formed at a position pressed by the straw (130), so that the straw (130) presses the thin film portion (112a) having a relatively thin thickness, thereby having the effect of making opening easier.

[0054]

[0055] Meanwhile, the home portion (130) may be formed so that the depth increases toward the sealed space (10) as it goes downward.

[0056] That is, when the straw (130) is formed to be bent so that the top and bottom form a right angle or an obtuse angle, as described above, after removing the cut portion (124), in order to make drinking the beverage more comfortable, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 5, the bent top of the exposed straw (130) is rotated toward the outside of the beverage pack (100). At this time, the remaining part of the straw (130) accommodated in the space formed between the groove portion (112) and the cover portion (122), i.e., the bent bottom of the straw (130), enters the inside of the groove portion (130) as the straw (130) rotates.

[0057] In addition, since the bent lower end of the straw (130) is supported on the rear wall of the groove (130), the straw (130) is prevented from flowing when the straw (130) presses the lower end of the groove (112), thereby enabling the groove (112) to be opened more smoothly.

[0058] And, of course, the bent portion of the straw (130) can be formed into a wrinkled portion so that the user can deform the straw (130) to a comfortable angle when drinking.

[0059]

[0060] Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 7, the beverage pack (100') of the present invention has a sealed space (10') formed inside to accommodate a beverage by folding the inner surface (110'), and polyethylene (PE) is applied to the inner or outer surface of the inner surface (110') made of paper material to enable waterproofing.

[0061] At this time, the inner surface (110') is integrally formed with a groove (112') in which the lower end of the straw (130) is received, and the groove (112') may be provided with a thin film (112a') formed thinner than the surrounding area at the lower end.

[0062] In addition, the outer part (120') is formed with a cover part (122') that corresponds to the shape of the straw (130) and accommodates the outer part of the straw (130), and the peripheral part of the cover part (122') can be joined to the outer surface of the inner part (110).

[0063] In addition, the cover portion (122') may be provided with a cut portion (124') so that the upper portion covering the upper end of the straw (130) can be opened.

[0064] Here, the remaining configuration of the present invention is the same as the above-described embodiment and thus will be omitted.

[0065] Thus, as in the embodiment described above, the cut portion (124') provided on the upper side of the outer shell (120') is cut to expose the upper end of the straw (130), and after rotating the straw (130), the lower end of the groove portion (112') or the thin film portion (112a') formed in the inner shell (110') of the straw (130) is pressurized and opened to allow the lower end of the straw (130) to enter the interior of the sealed space (10), thereby enabling drinking of a beverage through the straw (130).

[0066]

[0067] Therefore, according to the beverage pack (100) equipped with a straw according to the present invention as described above, the straw is provided between the inner and outer layers of the beverage pack, and when used, the inner layer is pierced with the straw to enable drinking the beverage, and since the straw is made of the same material as the beverage pack, it is possible to recycle and discharge together with the beverage pack, so that no non-recyclable waste is generated separately, and thus it is not only environmentally friendly, but also has various advantages, such as being able to prevent deformation of the straw's shape or contamination of the beverage since the straw provided between the inner and outer layers of the beverage pack allows drinking the beverage by piercing the inner layer when used, and the straw does not come into contact with the beverage during distribution.

[0068]

[0069] Although the above-described embodiments have described the most preferred examples of the present invention, it is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications are possible within a scope that does not depart from the technical spirit of the present invention.

[0070]

[0071] The present invention relates to a beverage pack equipped with a straw, and more specifically, to a beverage pack equipped with an environmentally friendly straw, in which a straw is provided between the inner and outer rims of the beverage pack, and the inner rim is pierced with the straw when used to enable drinking of the beverage, and the straw is made of the same material as the beverage pack, so that it can be recycled together with the beverage pack, thereby preventing the generation of non-recyclable waste.
