A PACKAGE FOR A STRAW, WHICH PACKAGE IS INTENDED FOR APPLICATION TO A DRINK CONTAINER

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to furnish a drink container, and particularly a soft drink or beer can of existing types, with a straw housed inside a package that does not hinder the handling or packaging of the container and which, when opened, does not produce a piece of unwanted scrap. This is chiefly achieved through the manufacture of a package having a flat base (1, 22) to which is attached a principal capsule (4, 24). In this capsule is placed a straw, which may be flattened and folded, and a secondary capsule (11, 28) is then attached to the base so as to cover the rest of the straw. The secondary capsule comprises a tab (19, 32) and overlaps the principal capsule. The secondary capsule may be pulled away from the base such as to allow the straw to be removed but rendering further pulling impossible or very difficult and thus enabling the secondary capsule to remain attached to the package.
