The invention relates to flexible straws [with one (or more) flexible zone
consisting of folding rings] which are attached to the packaging of fruit
juices, milks, coffees etc. and are bent to take up less space. The invention,
by increasing the number of rings and keeping certain of the rings folded (1,
3, 4) succeeds in straightening the straw up again almost without any damage
and in bending the straw to all directions. Further it increases the effective
length of the straw. The advantage of the invention is that it attains
complete straightening up and functionality of the straw without a significant
increase in the production cost and without major changes in the current
production line.
La présente invention concerne des pailles souples [présentant une (ou plusieurs) zone souples constituées d'anneaux pliants] fixées aux emballages de jus de fruit, de lait, de café et analogues, et qui sont incurvées pour occuper moins d'espace. Selon l'invention, l'accroissement du nombre d'anneaux et en maintenant certains des anneaux pliés (1, 3, 4) permet de redresser la paille sans causer de dommage et d'incurver la paille dans tous les sens. En outre, cela accroît la longueur utile de la paille. L'avantage de l'invention est qu'il permet de redresser la paille entièrement et d'augmenter son aspect fonctionnel sans encourir des coûts additionnels notables de production et sans modifications majeures à la chaîne de production existante.
