ABSTRACT:
A partially collapsible container adapted to contain beverages or other dispensable fluids is disclosed in which the collapsible portion of the container provides for the automatic deployment of either a drinking straw or a pour spout mounted within the container. In its non-collapsed state, the straw or spout is hidden within the container; however, upon manual manipulation of the collapsible portion of the container, that portion comes into contact with the upper segment of the straw or spout, thereby causing the straw or spout to penetrate a weakened opening of the exterior surface of the container, thereby exposing the straw or spout for use. Also disclosed is a stopping mechanism to prevent the collapsed portion of the container from elastically springing back toward its original position.
