ABSTRACT:
The improved drinking vessel of the present invention features a container having an integral straw. The straw may be in a rib or protrusion extending from the exterior of the container, and preferably at an angle above the top of the main part of the container. Instead, the straw may be in a handle of the container. Such straw may comprise a single channel or a pair or more of said channels. In the latter event, the channels may terminate parallel each other but with their lower ends at different levels in the liquid-holding cavity of the container.
Moreover, the channels can merge to form a common channel. The channels can be disposed in the vessel handle, one channel terminating near the top of such cavity and acting as an overflow channel. A valve may also be fitted in the straw, such as in the overflow channel. Moreover, the container may include a full or partial lip extending inwardly from the periphery at the top thereof, particularly in the area adjacent the straw, so as to prevent liquid spillage during tilting of the container. The novel container is inexpensive, durable, efficient and affords greater convenience than conventional drinking vessels.
