Tea Bag Tube

Abstract

The commonly used tea bags, such as the square and pyramid designs made from filter paper, offer ease of brewing a drink by steeping the tea bag into a liquid, most notably water. However, these tea bags are not feasible for smaller drinking bottles. In addition, commonly used tea bags have to be steeped for long periods of time, making it not ideal in hurried situations. The shape and size of the tea bag tube make it ideal to fit inside any sized drinking container, such as smaller water bottles. Due to the tea bag tube's disposable nature, as being a filter bag, this invention can easily be pulled out of the drinking bottle and not leave a mess, allowing for an on-the-go format and reuse of smaller water bottles.

We claim: 
     
         1 . A tea bag tube that is a slender tube shaped bag made of any kind of filter paper used in conjunction with coffee, tea, or any other filter paper-like product, may be used to put consumable product in. 
     
     
         2 . The dimensions of the tea bag tube, as defined in  claim 1 , can vary in accordance with what measurements are needed to fit any shape container, and the measurements in the drawings are an example of such lengths/widths. 
     
     
         3 . The approach to making the tea bag tube, as defined in  claim 1 , can vary in accordance with different techniques, machinery, etc. 
     
     
         4 . The edges of the tea bag tube, as defined in  claim 1 , are fused together, whether by sewing, staples, heat sealed, or any other means of closure. 
     
     
         5 . A string may be attached to the tea tube bag, as defined in  claim 1 . 
     
     
         6 . One of the tea bag tube (as defined in  claim 1 ) ends may fold over the opening of the water bottle and be held in place by the cap if desired. Other modifications can be made according to what is needed.
