Abstract

An internal to external self buoyancy lifted drinking straw system and its assembly for lift tab opening aluminum can beverage containers is provided for which consists of a aluminum straw guidance stationary holding frame affixed to or near its bottom to a cylindrical drinking straw of aluminum at an angle, upon which vertically slides with close tolerance through a perpendicular integral straw guidence ring connected and integral of the straw guidance stationary holding frame, a cylindrical aluminum drinking straw with an integral float at its bottom having further up towards its top a bendable straw segment and at its top a rolled end segment which driven by its integrated float will raise by floatation upward to drinking access level when the aluminum can beverage container is opened by lift tab.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Depicted by numbers  13 ,  14 ,  15 ,  16 ,  18 ,  19 ,  22 ,  23 ,  24 , and  28 , of the drawings and referenced herein above and heretofore is the “Internal to External Self-Buoyancy Drinking Straw System” adaptable to and for standard aluminum lift tab opening high viscosity liquid aluminum can beverage containers said invention specifically consisting of components as listed above, as and described below: 
   13  Internal straw guiding ring integral to  19  made from aluminum straw guidence stationry holding frame.  
   14  Vertical guided sliding drinking straw.  
   15  Aluminum float affixed to or molded as part of  14 .  
   16  Bottom aluminum drinking straw component cylindricaly shaped upon which  14  and  15  slide vertically.  
   18  Adhesive conecting  16  straw to  19  straw guidance stationary holding frame.  
   19  Straw guidance stationary frame.  
   22  Bendable segment of aluminum straw.  
   23  Top segment of aluminum straw.  
   24  Adhesive conecting  19  to top inside portion of can lid.  
 As applicable as an integral part of a lift tab aluminum can beverage container.  
 
     
     
         2 . As described in  claim 1 , above, also an Internal to External Self Buoyancy Lifting Drinking Straw System which when installed are vertically parallel to the inside interior wall of the aluminum can beverage container.  
     
     
         3 . As described in claims  1  and  2  above, and Internal to External Self Buoyancy Drinking Straw System,  19 , straw guidance stationary holding frame which is affixed to  16  bottom drinking straw component at  18  parallel with  19 , and in line with  19 .  
     
     
         4 . As described in claims  1  through  3  above, an Internal to External Self Buoyancy Lifting Drinking Straw System which has as an upper drinking straw  14 , which intergrates  22  bendable segment of  14  drinking straw and  23  top segment of drinking straw, the whole of which has an affixed integral part,  15  float which spans the circumference of the diameter of  14  at its outside wall at the bottom, the whole of which drinking straw fits over  16  with close tolerance to facilitate its sliding vertically up and down on  16  and which passes through to slide vertically up and down through, as guided by  13 , internal straw guiding ring which is connected by an arm as an integral part of  19  straw guidence holding frame, but which is positioned at 90 degrees to  19 's vertical part which becomes adhered to the lid of the aluminum can beverage container at  24 .  14  straw which is assembled on  16  and moved vertically to topmost  13  permitting position before  16  is affixed to  19  at  18 , entire assembly of which is done before fugure  1 , top lid, is assembled to the aluminum can beverage container at  2 .  
     
     
         5 . as described in claims  1  through  4  above, an Internal to External Self Buoyancy Lifting Drinking Straw System for aluminum can beverage containers, integral straw  14  of which slides vertically upon  16  driven by buoyancy provided by  15 , through  13  and  26 , lid opening to drinking access level at top of  23  when  12  lift tab is lifted to can opening position, permitting the consumer to bend  14  at  22  to desired angle to consume the contents of the container with all of the advantages of the invention above.
