  • Publication number: 20050139603
    Abstract: A liquid container with intra-packaging straw comprises a liquid container into which a straw support is attached. The straw support comprises a support pad that is attached to and covers an opening of the liquid container, and a straw that is placed through the support pad and oppositely extends in and out of the liquid container to allow drinking. The straw insertion is hermetically isolated via directly sealing the straw to the support pad or attaching a flexible film respectively to the straw and the support pad. The support pad may be further hollow so that the straw folded by means of an elbow portion can be contained within the hollow support pad.

  • Publication number: 20040065668
    Abstract: A liquid container comprises a container body and a pipe integrally formed with the container body. The container body encloses a liquid product. A sidewall substantially separates an interior volume of the pipe from an interior volume of the container body, wherein the interior volume of the pipe is less than the interior volume of the container body. The interior volume of the pipe further communicates with the interior volume of the container body through at least an internal opening proximate to a bottom of the container body. The enclosed liquid product thus can flow out from the container body through the pipe serving as an in-situ straw incorporated in the liquid container.
