There is described a drinking straw (3, 3′) for a package (2) being filled with a pourable food product. The drinking straw (3, 3′) comprises at least an inlet opening (11) for allowing the introduction of the pourable food product into the drinking straw (3, 3′), a tubular main portion (16) configured to be inserted, in use, into the package (2), having the inlet opening (11) and a sleeve (22, 22′) superimposed on and/or surrounding at least a section of the tubular main portion (16). The sleeve (22, 22′) is configured to allow for the insertion and/or introduction of the drinking straw (3, 3′) into the package (2) and to impede and/or hinder and/or block a removal and/or separation of the drinking straw (3, 3′) from the package (2) after introduction and/or insertion of the drinking straw (3, 3′) into the package (2).

The invention refers to a beverage packaging for receiving liquid product, the beverage package comprising an insertion area for inserting a drinking straw (1, 12, 19, 28, 40, 70, 90, 94) and the drinking straw. The drinking straw comprises a tubular straw member (3, 14, 22, 30, 42, 71, 80) comprising a straw wall (4, 15, 23, 31, 43, 72, 85), an inlet (5, 16, 24, 32, 44, 73, 83) to be placed into the beverage packaging and an outlet (6, 74, 81) to be placed outside the beverage packaging. On an outer surface of the straw wall, at least one locking catch (2, 13, 21, 27, 29, 41, 76, 87, 91) is provided which is connected to the outer surface of the straw wall towards the inlet and which is spaced from the outer surface of the straw wall towards the outlet, wherein the at least one locking catch is spaced from the inlet along a longitudinal axis (8, 39, 48, 86) of the drinking straw by a maximum of 30% of a length (l) of the drinking straw.

Presented and described are a device for separately applying additive packaging material, preferably wrapped straws, supplied as an additive packaging material continuous belt, to packages, in particular cardboard composite packages, having a separating organ for separating the additive packaging material of the additive packaging material continuous belt, a supply means for supplying the additive packaging material continuous belt to the separating organ and for relaying the additive packaging material separated by the separating organ, an application means for applying the separated additive packaging materials to the packages and a transport means for transporting the packages along a package transport path to the application means. So that the separation and application of the additive packaging materials can be carried out quickly, with high quality and reliably, it is provided that a transfer means is provided for picking up the additive packaging material relayed from the supply means and for accelerating the transferred additive packaging material to a speed adapted to the application means.

A portable bottle for pet includes a bottle body and a bottle lid. The upper end of the bottle lid has a flexible bowl member which is capable of being selectively unfolded or downfolded, wherein the bottom portion of the bottle lid is connected with the bottle body. The bottle lid comprises a movable blocking arrangement. An upper end of the movable blocking arrangement is connected to the liquid port of the bottom portion of the flexible bowl member and the lower end of the movable blocking arrangement is connected to a supplying pipe in the bottle body. The functions of the portable bottle for pet integrates bottle and bowl, providing a good ability of preventing leaking out, sealing during porting, blocking water during drinking, and enabling water flowing back to the bottle body so as to reduce the waste of water.

A recyclable or reusable assembly is described. The assembly includes a lid having a first side disposed opposite a second side that engages an opening of a container and a hole extending through a width of the lid. A corrugated flex pipe configured straw fully extendable for use of the assembly is configured to collapse on itself in a telescoping movement and has a first and a second portion. A second side of the first portion engages the hole on the first side of the lid and a second side of the second portion engages the hole on the second side of the lid. A first sealing plug is affixed to the first side of the first portion of the straw and a second sealing plug is affixed to the first side of the second portion of the straw to seal an inside of the straw.

A beverage container having a container body, a lid attachable to the container body, a handle and a hook. The handle has first and second handle portions rotatably attached to the lid and a grippable handle portion extending therebetween. The hook has a first hook end portion with a free-end portion, and a second hook end portion rigidly and fixedly attached to the first handle portion. The handle and hook may each have a frame portion formed from a metal flat band with the bands welded together. The handle frame and hook frame portions may be overmolded with a plastic covering. The hook extends laterally outward to beyond the outer sidewall of the container body when the handle is raised.

A manufacturing method of a straw includes: overlapping a first sheet material in which a plurality of straight linear crest portions and straight trough portions are alternately arranged and a second sheet material facing the first on the crest portion side; forming a closed space between the trough portion and the second sheet material by joining the first and second sheet materials at the crest portion of the first sheet material; and a plurality of straws are obtained by cutting a joined part. A straw obtained by the method includes: a first member having a linear recessed portion and flange portions positioned on both sides of the linear recessed portion and extending along the linear recessed portion; and a sheet-like second member facing the first member, in which the first member and the second member are joined at the flange portion of the first member.

A packaged food product may incorporate an angled back card to improve stability by providing an enlarged footprint when the package is standing upright, i.e., vertically oriented. The angled back card can provide a wider base of support between the front of the product and the back card to improve the ability of the package to be self-supporting in an upright position, i.e., to stand up reliably on a shelf without leaning on other structures for external support. The package may be generally dumbbell-shaped as viewed from the front and/or from other angles, and may comprise a center portion that is narrower and/or shallower than adjacent end portions. This may facilitate handling of the product by the consumer and also may help to provide the product with an impactful appearance and theme at retail when the product is viewed from the front and/or from other angles. The product may include high-protein food items, consistent with the theme established by the shape, and may include prominently-displayed information about the protein content of the food items.
