  • Patent number: 11419315
    Abstract: The Title of this invention is Tabletop Apparatus for Filling and Sealing Drinking Straws with Honey or Other Viscous Liquids Using Centrifugal Force. This is an apparatus for filling and sealing the ends of drinking straws (or other small round reservoirs) with viscous liquids such as honey, syrup, sauces, and oils. The filled straws will hold about 5 ml of liquid and can be used for samples or snacks. The apparatus is designed in such a manner that particles under 4 mm can also be included in the straws. Examples of such inclusions are poppy seeds, pollen grains, apple bits, sesame seeds, and other. The inclusions are generally edible items. Using a specially designed holder and an impulse sealer the straws are then sealed several at a time on one end only before being inserted into the apparatus. After filling, the second end is sealed using the same method.
