Device for drawing liquids from containers

Claim 2

A straw through which liquid can be drawn comprising at least one extended open channel member having flotation means connected to said channel member which flotation means extends the full length of said channel member for causing the device to float at a predetermined level within the liquid.

Claim 3

A straw according to claim 1 wherein said flotation means comprises a solid material having a density less than the liquid drawn through said open channel member.

Claim 4

A straw according to any one of claims 1 or 2 including two open channel members.

Claim 5

A straw according to claim 3 wherein said two open channel members are joined together by said flotation means.

Claim 6

A straw through which liquid can be drawn comprising at least one extended open channel means having flotation means comprising closed chamber means connected to said channel means which flotation means extends the full length of said channel means for causing the device to float at a predetermined level within the liquid.

Claim 7

A straw through which liquid can be drawn comprising at least one extended open channel means having flotation means comprising closed chamber means connected to said channel means which flotation means extends the full length of said channel means for causing the device to float at a predetermined level within the liquid.

Claim 8

A straw according to claim 5 made of physiologically inert material.

Claim 9

A straw through which liquid can be drawn comprising: two open channel means, and tubular flotation means joined to each of said channel means along their length and having sealed ends for defining a closed chamber having a predetermined volume.

Claim 10

A straw through which liquid can be drawn comprising: two open channel means, and tubular flotation means joined to each of said channel means along their length and having sealed ends for defining a closed chamber having a predetermined volume.

Claim 11

A straw according to claim 5 or 7 sealed inside a beverage container with an openable dispensing aperture.

Claim 12

A straw for consuming beverages contained in closed or sealed bottles or containers, comprising three tubes of equal length made of plastic or other material and connected along their full length, which may be introduced into a said bottle or container during its filling operation, both ends of one tube being heremetically closed thus forming a flotation chamber while the two remaining tubes are suction tubes allowing suction of the liquid contained in the bottle or container.

Claim 13

A straw for consuming beverages contained in closed or sealed bottles or containers, comprising three tubes of equal length made of plastic or other material and connected along their full length, which may be introduced into a said bottle or container during its filling operation, both ends of one tube being heremetically closed thus forming a flotation chamber while the two remaining tubes are suction tubes allowing suction of the liquid contained in the bottle or container.

Claim 14

A straw as in claim 9, characterized in that the suction tubes and the said one tube forming the flotation chamber have a length depending on the length of the bottle or container, so that when the bottle is filled the straw is introduced together with the liquid and when the bottle is closed or sealed the straw floats in the liquid with one end against the bottom surface of the closure means and when the bottle is opened the upper end of the straw spontaneously emerges outwardly from the rim of the aperture of the bottle or container.

Claim 15

A straw according to claim 9 or 10 wherein said two suction tubes are non-contiguous while being connected to said flotation chamber.

Claim 16

A straw through which liquid can be drawn comprising two open channel members connected to and joined together by a flotation means along the length thereof, said flotation means having wall means for defining a closed chamber of a pre-determined volume for causing the device to float at a pre-determined level within the liquid.

Claim 17

A straw through which liquid can be drawn comprising two open channel members connected to and joined together by a flotation means along the length thereof, said flotation means having wall means for defining a closed chamber of a pre-determined volume for causing the device to float at a pre-determined level within the liquid.

Claim 18

A straw according to claim 12 wherein said flotation means extends the full length of said open channel members.
