Definitions

  • the preferred product of the previous patent" 5 is formed by feeding two overlapping strips to the mandrel on which they are helically wound, the edges of each strip beyond the overlap overlapping the next turn'of the helix in such a way as to produce a tube or straw of two thicknesses. 10
  • one or more relatively narrow strips of sheet cellulose material or other suitable flexible material adapted to be embodied in the walls of the tube are fed to the mandrel between the overlapping edges of the strips.
  • reinforcing strips being relatively narrow involve the use of comparatively little additional material but they increase to a corresponding degree the thickness of the walls along a helical line wound 20 about-the circumference of the tube and extending along the tube in correspondence with the winding of the main strips and thus increase the lateral strength and stabiliifi of the tube in its relation to the strength of the non-reinforced tube in greater proportion than that represented by the mere addition to the weight of the material embodied in the tube.
  • the reinforcing strips being located between the overlapping portions of the main strips do not mar the inner or outer surfaces of the tube by the presentation of projecting edges and have no tendency to become detached in use.
  • the reinforce is preferably located between the overlapping edges of the two main strips as fed, these reinforcing strips may also be located outside this overlap so that in the finished tube they are between the overlapping portions of the adjacent turns of the helix. While reinforcement without appreciable increase of weight is the primary object of the invention, it is also of interest that the ornamental features of the tube both as a drinking straw and for decorative purposes being of importance the reinforcing strips and the main strips may be of different tints and colors affording an opportunity for a wide variation of color combinations.
  • Figure is a view corresponding to' Figure 2 showing a plurality of reinforcing strips.
  • Figure 1 comprises a helically wound tubular portion l the end I of' which is partially, unwound to illustrate the formation by the helical winding of two overlapping main strips of nonfibrous substantially transparent sheet cellulose material indicated by reference characters 2 and being indicated by reference character [5.
  • the strip 2 is on top and -a reinforcing strip 4 which is preferably of similar material is located between the overlapped .portions of the strips 2 and 3 as best illustrated in Figure 2.
  • the reinforcing strip 4 as shown is about one quarter the width of either main strips 2 and 3.
  • FIGS 3 and 4 I have illustrated a second form of the invention in which two main strips l2 and I3 having overlapping'edges l2 and I3 are combined with a reinforcing strip I 4 which instead of being located between the overlapping edges l2 and I3 overlies the strip l2 as to the portion thereof at the side of the overlap, theportion of the strip [2 at the side of the overlap
  • the reinforcing strip I4 is covered by the edge l6 of the strip I 3 outside of the overlap indicated by lines l2- and I3 so that in the finished. tube it is completely covered and enclosed being exposed on neither the inner nor outer surfaces of the tube, i. e., covered on the inside in the completed tube by theedge porstrip l3 of the adjacent turn of the either surface, the reinforce is not subject detachment in use.
  • the tube produced by the practice of the invention is of increased stiifness and adapted to resist lateral stresses and any tendency to collapse to a considerably increased degree without the corresponding increase in cost and the partial loss of transparency incident to the production of a stifier tube by adding to the number of main strips employed in winding.
  • reinforcing strips may be so utilized by coloration diiferent from the main strips and if desired a plurality of reinforcing strips of different colors may be used thus giving a wide range of color combinations and tints which may be so arranged as to have an important ornamental effect.
  • a substantially transparent tube for drinking straws and the like comprising flexible sheet cellulose derivative in strip form helically wound and overlapped at the edges and a reinforcing strip wound in a'substantially similar helix and located between the overlapping portions, the reinforcing strip being of substantially less width than the overlap the contacting surfaces being sealed.
  • a substantially transparent tube composed 10 the edges thereof adhesively secured throughout its length to the first mentioned strip material and wound in a similar helix.
  • a tube for drinking straws and the like being of substantially transparent flexible sheet cellulose derivative composed of two parallel main strips overlapped at the edges helicaiiy wound and also overlapped as to the successive turns of the helix and a reinforcing strip between the surfaces of one set of overlapped edges and narrower than said overlap and arranged in a. substantially parallel helix, all. said materials having heat sealing properties and being heat in sealed as to their contacting surfaces.
