This present invention relates to a multifunctional environmentally-friendly straw structure, and more particularly to a multifunctional environmentally-friendly straw structure with multifunctional purposes and environmental effects.
With the popularity of tea drinking culture, consumers usually buy a cup of tea when they dine. Among them, the bubble or boba milk tea is made by adding and mixing tea with springy mouthfeel and chewy tapioca balls (or pearls), which is more popular among consumers. There are also drinks such as green tea, flower tea and juices added with tapioca balls. When buying these beverages, the store will provide a plastic straw for the consumer to suck the beverage. If the beverage is acidic, it is easy for the plastic straw to dissolve toxic and cause harm to human health. Both disposable chopsticks and plastic straws are disposable products that can only be used one time and are discarded after use. Disposable chopsticks and plastic straws will generate a large amount of garbage and cause environmental problems.
As consumers become more aware of their personal health and environmental protection, many consumers have their own reusable environmentally-friendly tableware when they dine outside. But with all kinds of environmentally-friendly tableware, it is quite inconvenient to carry, use and store, so that the consumers are often in the dilemma of choosing between health, environmental protection and convenience of use. Often, because of the lack of convenient storage and use of environmentally-friendly tableware, they cannot be used continuously, so that it is still practically difficult to reduce the usage amount of disposable chopsticks and plastic straws effectively.
In addition, the disposable chopsticks and straws on the market only have a single function respectively. In other words, the disposable chopsticks only have the function of gripping food, and the straw only has the function of sucking beverages, resulting in the disposable chopsticks and the straws having poor functionality and without additional functions. Moreover, when consumers dine outside, it is necessary to prepare the disposable tableware of chopsticks and straw at the same time, thereby causing inconvenience.
Therefore, in order to effectively solve the above problems, a main objective of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional environmentally-friendly straw structure with multifunctional purposes.
A secondary objective of the present invention is to provide a reusable multifunctional environmentally-friendly straw structure.
Another secondary objective of the present invention is to provide a multifunctional environmentally-friendly straw structure with environmental effects.
In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a multifunctional environmentally-friendly straw structure comprising a first main body and a second main body, a first opening portion is formed at one side of the first main body, the second main body is correspondingly combined with the first main body, a second opening portion is formed at one side of the second main body, and the second opening portion and the first opening portion are correspondingly disposed and collectively define a circulation space.
Through the design of the structure of the present invention, when the first main body and the second main body are in a separated state, a user can respectively hold a first side and a fourth side of the first main body and the second main body respectively, and use the first opening portion and the second opening portion of the first main body and the second main body respectively to grip food, thereby forming a function of chopsticks. If a fluid is to be sucked (the fluid refers to beverages, tapioca balls, pearls, coconut jelly, etc.), only need to assemble the first main body and the second main body for the fluid to pass through the circulation space, thereby forming a function of a straw. Therefore, the structural design of the present invention can not only achieve the multifunctional purposes of the chopsticks and the straw at the same time, it also has environmental effects.
The above objectives of the present invention, as well as its structural and functional features, will be described in accordance with the preferred embodiments of the accompanying drawings.
Please refer to
In addition, in this embodiment, the first main body 10 and the second main body 11 are made with materials selected from any one of plastic or bamboo or wood or polymer materials or decomposable materials or metal materials, but are not limited to the aforementioned materials, and any materials that can be made into chopsticks or straws are included in the scope of the present invention, including the materials described above.
The multifunctional environmentally-friendly straw structure 1 further has a sleeve member 13, the sleeve member 13 is correspondingly sleeved on the first and fourth sides 100 and 111 of the first main body 10 and the second main body 11 respectively, and the purpose thereof is to increase the fixity so as not to move arbitrarily after the first main body 10 and the second main body 11 are combined with each other. The sleeve member 13 is made with a material selected from any one of plastic or a polymer material or a decomposable material or a flexible material, but is not limited to the aforementioned materials, and any materials that can make the sleeve member 13 flexible and elastic are included in the scope of the present invention, including the materials described above.
