Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a straw, particularly a straw formed so that a part thereof has a bellows part so that the straw can be bent when used. This relates to a straw with a display that can be seen for the first time when the bellows is opened.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, straws have been provided in which the axis of the straw can be bent by bending the bellows part to one side during use, and the straw can be used in an easy-to-drink shape.

Such a straw was formed by providing a bellows part near the mouthpiece of the straw for bending.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] However, in the case of such conventional straws, the bellows part functions only to change the axis of the straw at the end in a direction that makes it easier to drink. It had no other functionality.

Therefore, the present invention focused on the bellows part, which is normally folded, and added a display to the bellows part that is invisible when folded but visible only when the bellows part is opened. By opening this bellows, a large number of straws can be identified.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is characterized in that, in a straw having a bellows part, a display that is visible when the bellows part is opened is provided on the bellows part.

[Function] When manufacturing a plurality of straws, the straw according to the present invention is formed by marking the parts corresponding to the bellows portions, so by making the markings different, it is possible to By opening the section, it becomes possible to identify the straw among the many.

Therefore, although the pattern on other parts is exactly the same, it is possible to select the straw that the person normally uses from a plurality of straws the moment the bellows part is opened.

Furthermore, it is possible to use a straw in place of a lottery ticket by giving an indication such as "win" or "lost".

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to illustrated examples.

The drawings show the main parts of the present invention, and FIG. 1 is a front view of the bellows part 10 in an open state, FIG. 2 is a front view of the bellows part 10 in a closed state, and FIG. 3 is a front view of the bellows part 10. FIG. 7 is a front view showing another embodiment with the section 10 opened.

In each figure, this bellows part 10 has a long oblique side 11 with a long uneven portion and a short short oblique side 12 of about 7:3.
It is formed to have a length ratio of . The purpose of forming the bellows portion 10 in this manner is to prevent the bellows portion 10 from opening noticeably when it is closed. Of course, this ratio may be other than 5:5, for example, 6:4 or 8:2.

This bellows part 10 has a display 2 on its surface.
It is marked with 0.

In the display 20 shown in FIG. 1, the word "hit" is written.

When written in this manner, although the characters cannot be read fully in the closed state as shown in FIG. 2, the "hit" display 20 becomes visible for the first time when the bellows portion 10 is opened.

Therefore, by writing either such "win" or "miss" on the bellows 10 of a large number of straws, it is also possible to use them as a lottery.

However, if the continuous display 20 is provided over the entirety of the bellows part 10 in this way, since the bellows part 10 is formed by the long oblique side 11 and the short oblique side 12, the display shown in FIG. As shown, the portion corresponding to the difference in length between the long hypotenuse 11 and the short hypotenuse 12 is the bellows portion 1
It becomes visible even when 0 is closed.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, a gap corresponding to the difference in length between the long oblique side 11 and the short oblique side 12 is provided in the display 20 itself so that the bellows part 10 is completely hidden when it is in the closed state. By writing on the bellows portion 10, the letters can be completely hidden from the outside in the closed state.

Although a detailed explanation is omitted, the bellows part 10 of such a straw has a "hit" indication 20,
Alternatively, in addition to the numerical display 20 as shown in FIG. 3, an appropriate display 20 may be provided. For example, by attaching a ring-shaped display 20 of an appropriate color to the circumferential direction of the bellows part 10, it is possible to attach the same pattern to a number of straws other than the bellows part 10. Also, the display 20 of the bellows part 10
This makes it possible to identify each straw.

Furthermore, display 20 of such bellows portion 10
The present invention is not limited to straws having one bellows portion 10, but can also be applied to straws having two or more bellows portions 10.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, the present invention focuses on the bellows part, which is normally folded, and creates a bellows part that is invisible when folded, but becomes visible for the first time when the bellows part is opened. A number of straws can be identified by marking the bellows part and opening the bellows part.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

The drawings show one embodiment of the present invention,
