DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0065] In the following exemplary embodiments, the same elements will be designated with the same reference numbers.
[0066] With regard to FIGS. 1a, 1b and 2, a basic structure of the drinking device 10 according to the invention is described. The drinking device 10 consists of a drinking straw 12, an aroma container 20 as well as an optional mouthpiece 14 which can also be present in the following embodiments, wherever this is expedient. The mouthpiece 14 defines the drinking end for the user. The drinking straw 12 is inserted into a drinking liquid in a conventional manner and, by sucking at the mouthpiece 14, sucked through an inner flow channel through the drinking straw 12 upwards in the direction of the mouthpiece 14 and therethrough.
[0067] The drinking device further comprises an aroma container 20 comprising, as will be described later by means of FIG. 5c, an aroma chamber containing a carrier substance for an aroma substance or a mixture of various aroma substances. During the drinking process, the aroma container 20 releases air aromatized with the aroma substance that is, as will be explained below by means of several examples, either introduced into the inner flow channel of the drinking straw 12 or conveyed in a separate aroma channel in the direction towards the mouthpiece 14. In the mouthpiece 14, the aromatized air can either flow back into the flow channel for liquid or be directed in a separate flow channel up to the mouth end 28 of the mouthpiece 14.
[0068] However, if there are separate flow channels for the drinking liquid and for the aromatized air, it is important that the mouthpiece 14 is configured in such a way that both the drinking liquid and the aromatized air are orally ingested during the drinking process.
[0069] In the example illustrated in FIG. 2, the aroma container is fixedly connected with the drinking device 10 and is always in an activated state in which aromatized air can be released from the aroma container.
[0070] To extend the service life of the drinking device 10 according to the invention, it can be expedient if the drinking device is configured in such a way that the aroma container 20 can be moved between an activated and a non-activated position. To this end, the aroma container 20, which extends essentially annularly around the drinking straw 12 in the embodiment example according to FIGS. 1 and 1b, can either be moved by a rotational motion between an activated position and a non-activated position or, as illustrated in the specific embodiment example according to FIGS. 1a and 1b, be shifted in the longitudinal direction by shifting the drinking straw 12 in a longitudinal direction between the non-activated position illustrated in FIG. 1a and the activated position illustrated in FIG. 1b. Only in the activated position does an air outlet opening provided in the aroma container align with an aroma inlet opening either in the inner flow channel of the drinking straw 12 or in a separate aroma channel, while in the non-activated position the air outlet opening from the aroma container is closed.
[0071] To give a haptic feedback to the user with regard to the shifting movement between the activated and the non-activated position, a stop 16 is fixedly provided at the drinking straw 12, against which the aroma container is shifted when it is brought into the non-activated position. At the mouthpiece, a stop 30 is also provided which limits the shifting movement into the activated position. In this way, the user can activate the aroma container by shifting the aroma container between the two stop positions in a simple manner. Compared to the embodiment of the drinking device illustrated in FIG. 2 with an aroma container that is always in an activated state, the option of activating the aroma container does not only have the advantage of extended service life, but also the option of using the drinking device in the non-activated state, for example if it is desired to drink pure drinking liquid.
[0072] In FIGS. 3a, 3b and 3c, an alternative embodiment of the drinking device 10 is illustrated which consists, in the present case, of an aroma container 20 with an integrated mouthpiece 14 into which a conventional drinking straw 12 can be inserted.
[0073] Furthermore, it is preferred if a conical receiving area 22 is provided in the aroma container, which serves for receiving the drinking end 18 of the drinking straw 12. Due to the conical receiving area 22, the aroma container according to FIG. 3a can be used with drinking straws 12a, 12b with different diameters, as illustrated in FIGS. 3b and 3c.
[0074] In the configuration of the drinking device 10 according to FIG. 3a, a conventional drinking straw 12 can be used since the aromatized air from the aroma container 20 is supplied in the area of the mouthpiece 14 and thus no drinking straw 12 with a defined and specifically arranged aroma inlet opening into the inner flow channel of the drinking straw has to be used.
[0075] In FIGS. 4a and 4b, a further alternative embodiment of the drinking device 10 according to the invention is illustrated. In this regard, the aroma container 20 is located between the partial portions 12-1 and 12-2 of the drinking straw. The embodiment according to FIGS. 4a and 4b is advantageous since exchanging the aroma container 20 is very simple and can be performed intuitively by a user. To this end, the aroma container 20 preferably deviates from a circular ring-shaped geometry. Since at least the inner opening of the aroma container does not have a circular geometry, the two portions 12-1 and 12-2 of the drinking straw, each of which are provided with coupling elements 24, can only be inserted in a defined orientation relative to the aroma container 20. The two coupling elements 24 can be configured in such a way that they not only extend through the inner opening in the annular aroma container 20, but can also be inserted into each other in a fluid-tight manner so as to provide a flow-tight connection between the partial portions 12-1 and 12-2 of the drinking straw, while at the same time also providing the correct orientation relative to the aroma container 20 and the air outlet opening from the aroma container is exactly aligned relative to an aroma inlet opening into one of the coupling elements 24.
[0076] The embodiment according to FIGS. 4a and 4b has the advantage that not only an aroma container 20 can be easily replaced with another aroma container, but the drinking straw can also be cleaned. Of course, it is also possible in the embodiment according to FIGS. 4a and 4b to couple the drinking end of the drinking straw 12-1 with a mouthpiece.
[0077] In the embodiment according to FIGS. 5a, 5b and 5c, the aroma container 20 does not extend around the drinking straw 12, but is inserted into a receptacle 26 at the drinking straw 12, thus putting the drinking device 10 in the operating state. To this end, the aroma container 20 illustrated in Fig. A is inserted into the receptacle 26 in the direction of the arrow A, resulting in the ready-to-use drinking device according to FIG. 5b.
[0078] By a suitable complementary shaping of the receptacle 26 and the geometry of the aroma container 20, it can be ensured that the aroma container is exactly positioned so as to be able to release the aromatized air.
[0079] The aroma container 20 can be mounted in the receptacle 26 by clamping, using a suction cup in the receptacle or by any other method. For example, the aroma container can be pinned, screwed fast or mounted by means of a bayonet lock. Moreover, other aids can be used such as magnets, a Velcro strip or even a rubber band.
[0080] In FIG. 5c, a possible configuration of the drinking device 10 according to FIG. 5b is illustrated. In this regard, the drinking straw 12 has an inner flow channel 32 through which, just like in a conventional drinking straw, the drinking liquid is sucked by the user in the direction towards the drinking end 18 of the drinking straw 12. In addition to the bowl-shaped outer wall 34 illustrated in FIGS. 5a and 5b, the receptacle 26 for the aroma container 20 also has an inner wall 36 in which an aroma channel 38 is located that is in flow connection with the air outlet opening 40 in the aroma container and is furthermore in flow connection with the aroma inlet opening 42 at the drinking straw 12, which opens into the inner flow channel 32 of the drinking straw 12.
[0081] As further illustrated in FIG. 5c, an aroma chamber 44 is located inside the aroma container, which contains a carrier substance 46 that does not completely fill the aroma chamber 44.
[0082] In this regard, in the illustrated annular geometry of the aroma container 20, the carrier substance 46 cannot fully extend around the annular aroma chamber 44, but can be configured in a U-shape, for example, which facilitates the automatic insertion of the carrier substance into the aroma chamber when producing the aroma chamber. Since the carrier substance 46 does not completely fill the aroma chamber 44, an air-filled head space 48 is formed within the aroma chamber 44, in which the aroma substance consisting of various chemical compounds can be mixed and homogenized.
[0083] The geometry of the aroma container illustrated in FIG. 5c does not have a circular ring shape so that the aroma container can only be inserted in a defined position relative to the receptacle 26, in which the flow connection between the aroma container and the inner flow channel 32 of the drinking straw 12 exists.
[0084] The carrier substance has a specific flow resistance of less than 500 Pa.Math.s/m and preferably of less than 400 Pa.Math.s/m, and most preferably of approximately 380 Pa.Math.s/m so as to feed a sufficient amount of aromatized air into the inner flow channel 32 of the drinking straw 12 during the conventional use of the drinking straw 12 by the user.
[0085] The embodiment according to FIGS. 6 and 6a, which illustrates in an enlarged view the area at the drinking end of the drinking straw according to FIG. 6, is an alternative configuration of the drinking device according to the invention, in which, in contrast to what was illustrated in the sectional view in FIG. 5c, the aroma channel 38 does not open via an aroma inlet opening into the inner flow channel 32 of the drinking straw, but is led in parallel thereto to the drinking end 18 of the drinking straw 12. To this end, in parallel to the inner flow channel 32, an aroma channel 38 is provided through which the aromatized air is sucked during the drinking process and is orally ingested.
[0086] Furthermore, an air inlet opening 50 is illustrated in FIG. 6a, through which air enters into the aroma container 20. In the general, annular configuration of the aroma container 20, the air inlet opening 50 is arranged opposite to the air outlet opening 40 so as to ensure that the air flowing through the aroma container has to travel a sufficient distance before it leaves the aroma container again through the air outlet opening 40 in a sufficiently aromatized state.
[0087] The embodiment according to FIGS. 7a and 7b is essentially identical with the embodiment according to FIGS. 6a and 6a. However, in the configuration according to FIGS. 7a and 7b, the aroma channel 38 is part of the aroma container 20 that is slid onto the drinking straw 12 until it abuts against the stop 52 provided fixedly at the drinking straw, which ensures that the aroma channel 38 of the aroma container ends at the drinking end 18 of the drinking straw 12.
[0088] The design according to FIG. 7b results in a double wall in the area between the inner flow channel 32 and the aroma channel 38. However, this double wall can also be removed, as illustrated in the embodiment according to FIGS. 8 and 8a. In the embodiment according to FIG. 8, the aroma container 20 is also slid onto the drinking straw 12. In this embodiment, the aroma channel 38 is formed between the wall 54 surrounding the inner flow channel 32 of the drinking straw 12 and the wall 56 of the aroma container 20.
[0089] In the configuration according to FIG. 8, the aroma container can be designed to be very small and light, which does not only result in a better overall aesthetic impression, but also prevents the drinking straw from falling over in a drinking vessel or at least makes this more difficult.
[0090] In the embodiments according to FIGS. 9a to 16c, the aroma container or a possible mouthpiece are not shown since further properties of the drinking device according to the invention are to be illustrated here. Nevertheless, it should be clear that in all of these embodiments, an aroma container and optionally a mouthpiece are also provided.
[0091] In the embodiment according to FIGS. 9a and 9b, the drinking device 10 according to the invention is illustrated in a drinking vessel 100. The drinking device 10 has a sealing member 58 which is fixedly connected with the drinking straw 12 and, in the configuration according to FIGS. 9a and 9b, consists of a rotationally symmetrical body having several steps 60 around its circumference. As illustrated by means of the examples in FIGS. 9a and 9b, the sealing member 58 can be put tightly on drinking vessels with different opening sizes since the stepped sealing member 58 is automatically centered on a drinking opening of the drinking vessel 100.
[0092] The embodiment according to FIGS. 10a and 10b differs from the embodiment according to FIGS. 9a and 9b merely in that the sealing member 58 has a conical geometry and can therefore also rest tightly on the drinking opening 60, irrespective of the size of the circular drinking opening of the drinking vessel 100.
[0093] The embodiments according to FIGS. 9a, 9b, 10a and 10b are suited in particular for drinking vessels with a circular geometry of the drinking opening 60. The embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 11a, 11b and 11c is more variable in this regard and can be used both in drinking vessels with a circular drinking opening and with various geometries of the drinking opening. To this end, the elastic sealing member 62 is fixedly connected at the drinking straw 12 and consists, for example, of elastic latex material that can be stretched over the drinking opening of variously shaped drinking vessels and also seals these tightly at the top. If the elastic sealing member 62 has a corresponding elasticity, it can be put around the upper edge of the drinking vessel 100 with a correspondingly high elastic tension so that the liquid cannot slosh out of the drinking vessel 100 even in the case of strong movement.
[0094] In FIGS. 12a, 12b and 12c, a drinking straw 12 is illustrated which is bendable since it has a plurality of predetermined bending points 64, preferably at regular intervals. By bending the drinking straw, as illustrated in FIG. 12c, at several of the predetermined bending points 64, it can be adjusted to drinking vessels with different geometries.
[0095] The embodiment according to FIGS. 13a and 13b shows a further possible configuration of the drinking straw 12 which is not provided with predetermined bending points as in the embodiment according to FIG. 12a, but is flexible and can adjust to any shape. Alternatively, it is also possible to configure the drinking straw in such a way that it can be adjusted in a desired shape to the drinking vessel 100. To this end, the user merely has to exert pressure force on the drinking straw 12 in the direction of the arrow B so that the drinking straw bends and remains in this position, as illustrated by means of the example in FIG. 13b.
[0096] Irrespective of the embodiment according to FIGS. 13a and 13b with a flexible drinking straw, a weight 66 can be provided at the drinking straw, which can also be present in all other embodiments. The weight is provided with a bearing surface 68 so that the weight rests flat on the bottom 70 of the drinking device 100. The weight has the function of holding the drinking straw deep in the liquid in the drinking vessel 100, and may additionally be used to rigidly receive the end of the drinking straw facing away from the drinking end so that the drinking straw does not rest against a side wall 72 of the drinking vessel 100 and stands, so to speak, in the drinking vessel.
[0097] The use of a weight 66 with a rigid drinking straw is illustrated, by way of example, in FIGS. 14a and 14b. The rigid drinking straw 12 is held in the drinking vessel without tipping over.
[0098] In FIGS. 15a, 15b and 15c, a drinking straw 12 is shown that can be divided into two parts 12a and 12b. To this end, the two U-shaped elements 12a, 12b are inserted into each other via a suitable tongue-and-groove connection and moved against each other in the longitudinal direction. The drinking straw that can be divided, according to FIGS. 15a to 15c, has the advantage that it can be cleaned more easily.
[0099] As an alternative to the embodiment of a drinking straw consisting of two partial elements, as illustrated in FIGS. 15a, 15b and 15c, the drinking straw can also have a film hinge 74 and have a tongue-and-groove connection point in the longitudinal direction so that the drinking straw can be opened and the wall limiting the inner flow channel can be easily cleaned.
[0100] In the embodiment according to FIG. 17, a drinking straw 12 is illustrated which has a tapered portion 78 at which the aroma container 20 is located. The tapered portion 78 fixes the position of the aroma container 20 in the longitudinal direction of the drinking straw 12. Moreover, a Venturi effect is created during the drinking process, in which—as described at the beginning—a suction effect is created in the narrowed portion 78 that serves to suck aromatized air from the air outlet opening 40 and through the aroma inlet opening 42 from the aroma container 20 into the inner flow channel 32 of the drinking straw 12.
[0101] The essentially annular aroma container surrounding the drinking straw can be opened via a film hinge so that it can be attached around the narrowed portion 78 of the drinking straw 12. Alternatively, the narrowed portion can be located only the area of the inner flow channel, while the outer contour is not narrowed there, so that an aroma container with a circular ring-shaped cross-section can be slid onto the drinking straw in the longitudinal direction.
[0102] The embodiment according to FIG. 18 differs from the embodiment according to FIG. 17 in that the drinking vessel 100 according to the invention is formed integrally with the drinking device 10. The inner flow channel 32 is formed between a side wall 72 of the drinking device and the wall 54 of the drinking straw so that the drinking device 10 is a fixed component of the drinking vessel 100.
[0103] If the drinking vessel is also tightly sealed with a lid (not shown), the drinking vessel can also be tilted without the drinking liquid leaking out of the drinking straw.
[0104] The embodiment according to FIG. 18 with an integral configuration of drinking straw and drinking vessel is based, by way of example, on the design of the drinking device 10 according to FIG. 17. However, it should be clear that the drinking device 10 formed integrally with the drinking vessel 100 can also be realized in many of the preceding embodiments of the drinking device 10. The same applies to the provision of a mouthpiece that can also be provided in all embodiments.
[0105] A configuration not illustrated in the figures provides an essentially annular aroma container that can be opened up into two half-shells by means of a film hinge and that has a pointed, cannula-shaped portion in the area of the air outlet opening and can be closed around a drinking straw, whereby the cannula-shaped protruding portion penetrates the wall of the drinking straw 12 and creates the flow connection between the aroma chamber and the inner flow channel of the drinking straw. This embodiment has the advantage that the aroma container can be used with conventional drinking straws to the outer diameter of which it can be adjusted. By closing the aroma container and the penetration of the outer wall of the drinking straw, not only the flow connection between the aroma chamber and the inner flow channel of the drinking straw is created, but the aroma container is also fixed in position relative to the drinking straw.
