The straw cover is configured for use with a straw. The straw cover encloses the straw such that the straw is protected from the environment when the straw is not in use. The straw cover comprises a base tube, a lid, a hinge, and a plurality of decorative elements. The hinge attaches the lid to the base tube such that the lid rotates from an open position to a closed position. The straw inserts through the base tube. The end of the straw is enclosed by the lid. Each of the plurality of decorative elements attaches to a structure selected from the group consisting of the base tube and the lid. The plurality of decorative elements are used to uniquely identify the straw cover.

A drinking straw is marked to describe a particular type of drink in order to aid users to quickly and accurately identify drink contents. For example, the drinking straw may include text indicating soda, tea, coffee, or other designation of a drink.

According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a straw cap comprises a body that is configured to lie flat in a non-assembled state and has an interior volume that covers a straw in an assembled state. According to certain configurations the body has a triangular shape in the non-assembled state and at least a portion of a cone in an assembled state. Additionally, according to certain configurations, the body has a slit to selectively allow passage of a straw.

A liquid extraction control method includes: acquiring a current temperature value of liquid to be extracted; determining whether the current temperature value is within a predetermined temperature value range; opening a liquid flow channel when the current temperature value is within the predetermined temperature range, and closing the liquid flow channel when the current temperature value is outside the predetermined temperature range. The temperature range of the liquid to be extracted can therefore be controlled, reducing probability of injuries caused by overly hot or cold liquid through a straw, and facilitating control of the temperature and extraction amount suitable for users, so as to achieve smart and quantitative fluid extraction.

Described herein is a container for a beverage as well as a structure to allow a user to drink the beverage contained therein. In at least one embodiment, there is a beverage container and straw combination that allows for a unique transportation of the liquid through the straw. The straw may be configured to pass through a lid of the beverage container multiple times and pass through a hollow or channel positioned above a lid of the beverage container.

In aspects of a multi-use recyclable drinking straw, the drinking straw has an elongated housing with a continuous sidewall that encloses a void space conducive for conducting a liquid, and the continuous sidewall is formed with recyclable material that is both rigid to sustain use as a beverage straw and collapsible for recycling. The drinking straw also has a contact area of the elongated housing that provides a temperature indication of the liquid, where the temperature indication serves as a hot beverage safety warning to a user of the drinking straw. The multi-use recyclable drinking straw can include a first configuration as a beverage straw with the continuous sidewall of the elongated housing having an oval cross section, and can include a second configuration as a beverage stir stick, where the elongated housing is collapsible such that the continuous sidewall has a flattened cross section conducive for stirring the liquid.

The present invention generally relates to a printed paper straw, process of manufacturing, and method of use. The present invention also relates to a package of straws that are uniquely identifiable by an easy-to-read text or drawings located on the external surface of each straw.

This present invention relates to a flavor dispensing drinking straw device designed to retain and dispense an appropriate amount of flavoring, syrup and/or medicine into a beverage as per the desires of the users. The device comprises a topper having an internal cavity that holds a predefined amount of flavoring, syrup and/or medicine that the user can dispense through a spiral straw by simply and gently squeezing the topper, wherein the user can then consume the flavored or medicated beverage through a second tubular straw in a traditional manner. The uniquely designed straw device is both environmentally safe and reusable. Additionally, the topper can be refilled with the flavor, once the stored flavor is exhausted. The flavor infusing straw offers a more enjoyable and delicious drinking experience, and can be used with a variety of beverage containers.

A musical insulated beverage cozy or container is formed from a unitary member designed to embody an electrical sound synthesizer component. This sound synthesizer component is connected via insulated wire, on the interior of the embodiment, to an on-demand on/off button which the user can press to play or stop pre-loaded or user-recorded music or messages.
