Abstract

Disclosed therein is a sliding straw with solid food including: an outer straw ( 100 ); an inner straw ( 200 ) inserted into the outer straw ( 100 ) to keep watertightness; and water-soluble or dispersible solid food ( 300 ) inserted into a lower end portion of the outer straw ( 100 ), wherein a lower end portion of the inner straw ( 200 ) is pushed upwardly from the lower end portion of the outer straw ( 100 ) as high as a length that the solid food ( 300 ) is inserted, an upper end portion of the inner straw ( 200 ) projects a predetermined distance from an upper end portion of the outer straw ( 100 ), and the lower end portion of the inner straw ( 200 ) pushes the solid food ( 300 ) out of the outer straw ( 100 ) when the upper end portion of the projecting inner straw ( 200 ) is pushed into the outer straw ( 100 ).

The sliding straw according to one of  claim 3 , wherein the inner straw ( 200 ) further comprises storage portions ( 210 ) formed in such a way that an outer circumferential surface of the lower end portion of the inner straw ( 200 ) is inwardly hollowed toward a central axis of the inner straw ( 200 ), each of the storage portions ( 210 ) storing water-soluble or dispersible powder or granules therein. 
     
     
         5 . The sliding straw according to  claim 4 , wherein a plurality of the storage portions ( 210 ) are disposed in order, and opened at the lower end portion of the outer straw ( 100 ) in phases according to the distance that the upper end portion of the inner straw ( 200 ) is pushed into the upper end portion of the outer straw ( 100 ). 
     
     
         6 . The sliding straw according to  claim 4 , wherein the lower end portion of the inner straw ( 200 ) is spread into a spoon shape ( 220 ) when a side of the outer circumferential surface thereof is cut and exposed out of the lower end portion of the outer straw ( 100 ). 
     
     
         7 . The sliding straw according to one of  claim 3 , wherein the outer straw ( 100 ) comprises an outer bellows ( 130 ) at a predetermined region thereof, and the inner straw ( 200 ) comprises an inner bellows ( 230 ) formed at a region thereof corresponding to the region of the outer bellows ( 130 ) in a state where the upper end portion of the inner straw ( 200 ) is pushed into the upper end portion of the outer straw ( 100 ), the inner bellows ( 230 ) projecting below the maximum vertically movable height of the region of the outer bellows ( 130 ) formed on the outer straw ( 100 ). 
     
     
         8 . The sliding straw according to one of  claim 3 , wherein the solid food ( 300 ) contains at least one of ingredients in Green tea, coffee, cocoa, tea, vitamin, yeast, pollen, enzyme, lactobacillious, chlorella, germ, mushroom, cordyceps, chitosan, glucosamine, ginseng, red ginseng, herbs, calcium, selenium, and aloes. 
     
     
         9 . The sliding straw according to one of  claim 2 , wherein the inner straw ( 200 ) further comprises storage portions ( 210 ) formed in such a way that an outer circumferential surface of the lower end portion of the inner straw ( 200 ) is inwardly hollowed toward a central axis of the inner straw ( 200 ), each of the storage portions ( 210 ) storing water-soluble or dispersible powder or granules therein.
