Fluid drinking system

Abstract

A fluid drinking system utilizes a straw member with a central, tubular straw element with a flexible mouthpiece, connected to multiple tubular straw elements which extend and branch out from the central straw element. Upon application of a suction force, i.e. sucking action, to any of the distal open ends of the straw elements, fluid flows through the open passages of the elements which are interconnecting and open to each other. The drinking system also includes a container with partitioned, compartmentalized sections, with each section being configured to hold a different consumable fluid or pureed food. The straw elements of the straw member are inserted into and positioned within different compartments of the container. When so positioned, there may be simultaneous, multi-fluid consumption. When the central straw element of the straw member is inserted into any fluid carrying container, multiple users may drink fluid from the container simultaneously.

1 . A fluid drinking system comprising:
 a straw member comprising a first tubular element with a through passage and opening means through which a suction force passes and a plurality of tubular elements extending from the first tubular element, each of the plurality of tubular elements having a through passage and opening means through which a suction force passes, the passages of the first tubular element opening into the passages of each of the plurality of tubular elements, whereby upon application of a suction force on any of the opening means fluid is drawn through the first tubular member and one or more of the plurality of tubular elements.   
   
   
       2 . The fluid drinking system as in  claim 1  wherein the plurality of tubular elements branch out from the first tubular element. 
   
   
       3 . The fluid drinking system as in  claim 1  further comprising container means for the insertion of the straw member, said container means having multiple compartments, one of the plurality of tubular elements being insertable into each compartment. 
   
   
       4 . The fluid drinking system as in  claim 3  wherein the container means comprises partitions separating the compartments. 
   
   
       5 . The fluid drinking system as in  claim 1  wherein the plurality of tubular elements comprises two tubular elements. 
   
   
       6 . The fluid drinking system as in  claim 1  wherein the plurality of tubular elements comprises three tubular elements. 
   
   
       7 . A fluid drinking system comprising:
 a first straw element having a through passage and two open ends;   a plurality of second straw elements, each of the plurality having a through passage and two open ends, one end of each of the plurality of second straw elements extending from one of the ends of the first straw element, the through passages of each of the plurality of second straw elements opening into the through passage of the first straw element.   
   
   
       8 . The fluid drinking system as in  claim 7  wherein the plurality of second straw elements branches out from the first straw element. 
   
   
       9 . The fluid drinking system as in  claim 7  further comprising container means for the insertion of the plurality of second straw elements, said container means having compartments, one of the plurality of straw elements being insertable into each compartment. 
   
   
       10 . The fluid drinking system as in  claim 9  wherein the compartment means comprises partitions. 
   
   
       11 . The fluid drinking system as in  claim 7  wherein the plurality of second straw elements comprises two straw elements. 
   
   
       12 . The fluid drinking system as in  claim 7  wherein the plurality of straw elements comprises three straw elements.
