A BBVE~AGE CONTAINER WITH NOVEL DISPEN8ING MEAN8 A~_O ND OF THE INVENTION
a. Field of Invention This invention pertains to a container for dispensing beverages such as fruit juices with access to allow a straw into the container, and more particularly to a beverage container with an integral access means arranged to permit a straw to be introduced into the container which access means being adapted to provide venting for the container.
b. Description of the Prior Art It has been found that containers for beverages, such as fruit juices and the like, may be advantageously made of several plies of paper, fiber, plastic or other materials, as well as combinations thereof. Such containers can be made relatively inexpensively yet they are attractive to the customers. Often such containers are provided at least on one surface with a round access hole covered with aluminum foil or other sheet material secured to the container. The beverage is dispensed from the container via a straw, frequently removably secured to the container. For use, the straw is removed from the container, and its tip, which may be slanted to form a piercing point, is used to puncture through and push the cover material out of the hole. The straw is then inserted into the container and used in the normal fashion. A
frequent problem with such containers is that because of the very nature of the materials used to make them, the container sidewalls are relatively soft. When a person holds the container while using the straw to break the cover, he inadvertently squeezes the container sidewalls generating a positive pressure to build up therein. Moreover, pressure within the container may also build while the container is being filled, or because of extraneous heat.
As a result, when the straw is inserted into the container, liquid may spurt out of the access hole, and/or through the container.
Another problem with the above-described containers is that normally the diameter of the round straw conforms to the diameter of the access hole so that once the straw is inserted a seal is formed between the straw and the container wall. This seal prevents air from getting into the container while the beverage is sucked out through the straw. As a result, a negative pressu~e is generated inside the container which eventually forces the container to collapse before its contents are fully dispensed or to burp when sucking is stopped.
OBJECTIVES AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the above mentioned disadvantages of the prior art, an objective of the present invention is to provide a beverage container with an access means which vents the container and cooperates with a straw for dispensing the beverage, wherein the beverage does not spurt out when the straw is initially inserted.
jr~,9 ~ ,y A further objective is to provide a beverage container with an access means which provides venting during the beverage dispensing thereby preventing the collapse of the container as the beverage is dispensed.
Yet another objective is to provide a container which is easy to manufacture, yet can be made into an attractive package. Other objectives and advantages of the invention shall become apparent from the following description of the invention. Briefly a beverage container constructed in accordance with this invention includes a closed body with a top surface, access means formed on said top surface and cover means for said access means to maintain the container air and vacuum tight thereby insuring that the beverage disposed therein does not spoil prematurely.
The access means prefera~ly consist.s of two portions: an opening means having overall dimensions substantially smaller than a corresponding straw; and a plurality of cutting lines extending from the opening means and cooperating therewith to form venting tabs for the container while the straw is inserted into the container and used to dispense a beverage therefrom.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
10Referring first to Figures 1 and 2, a typical prior art beverage container consists of a body 10 which may have a square, rectangular, cylindrical, oval or other geometric shape, with a top surface 12. Surface 12 is provided with a circular access hol~
14. The body may be made for e~ample of a paper or cardboard layer 1516. Hole 14 is covered with a foil 18 made of a metallic or plastic material to keep the content~ from spoiling, at least until the package is opened. Optionally a wrapper 20 is also secured either all around the container, or at least on top of hole 14 to protect the container and maintain it waterproof. The wrapper may be made of a transparent material such as a plastic material.
Alternately, wrapper 20 may consist of a pull-away tab.
The beverage from the container 10 may be withdrawn for example by using a straw 22. Frequently straw 22 is cut diagonally at one end, such as 24 to form a piercing point 26. As shown in Figure 2, the container is opened by pushing the point 26 of straw 22 against the wrapper portion 20 disposed above the hole r i~ J~
14 causing the wrapper 20 and foil 18 to puncture and allowing the straw to be inserted into the container. The disadvantages of the container 10 are discussed above.
E~eferring now to Figures 3-6, the present invention provides 5 a cont:ainer 40 which, like container 10, may have any desired geometric shape. The container 40 includes a top surface 42 with an access means 44. As shown more clearly in Figures 5 and 6, the container may be made for example of several layers as described herein. More particularly, the container 40 is made of a cardboard 46, having an inner barrier layer 48 made of a plastic material or a foil. The outside of the container is covered with a protective wrapper 50 preferably made of polyethylene or other plastic material. The three layers 46, 48 and 50 are laminated to each other. Alternatively, the layers 48 and/or 50 are applied over a region of layer 46 adjacent to the access means 44. Importantly the access means 44 consists of two portions: a hole portion 44A, and a plurality of cuts 44B. The portion 44A passes through layer 46 and may have a variety of shapes. Preferably the shape of portion 44A is selected to partially conform to the shape of the straw to be used. For example, if a straw 52 having a circular cross-section is to be used, hole portion 44A has a partially circular shape, having a radius approximately equal to or smaller than the radius of the straw. Cuts 449 extend tangentially away from section 44A, each cut having a length which exceeds the radius of section 44A, or straw 52. These cuts 44B define a wedge shaped region 58, therebetween on the surface 42 as shown.
The beverage container constructed in accordance with this invention is used as follows. A straw 52 (similar to the straw shown in Figures 1 and 2) is pushed against the access means 44 as shown in Figure 5. As the straw 52 is pushed into the container it ruptures the layers 48, 50. Moreover, since the diameter of the straw exceeds the dimensions of the cut 44A, the straw 52 separates the region 58 along cuts 44B and pushes it downwardly to form a tab as shown in Figures 5 and 6. Importantly as region 58 separates, it allows gas disposed on top of the container, near access means 44 to escape as indicated by the arrow 54. As a result, during this initial stage, pressure built up within the container is relieved and the beverage will not surge through the straw. When the straw is pushed far enough into the container as shown in Figure 6, the beverage is sucked out through the straw in the normal manner. In this position, the bent region 58, forms a seal around the straw, however it is shaped so that it will allow air to enter into the container to displace the beverage sucked out as shown by arrow 56. In this manner syphoning and the collapse of the container are avoided.
Of course, other shaped straws may be used as well with a suitable change in the shape of cut 44A. For example, if the straw is triangular, semi-circular section 44A is replaced by a triangular section having smaller dimensions than the straw to insure that when the straw is inserted therein the hole and the regions formed by the cuts act in a manner similar to the one described above.
~ f; ~ i S
In an alternate embodiment shown in Figure 7, surface 62 of a container similar to container 40 in Figure 3, is provided with an acc:ess means 64. The access means 64 includes a semicircular D-shaped opening 66 and two or more cuts 68 extending away therefrom. When a straw is inserted into the container, it pierces the layers covering hole 66.
In the embodiment of Figure 8 access means 74 includes a D-shaped hole 76 and a plurality of cuts 78 spaced closer than in the embodiment of Figure 7. When a straw (having a diameter equal for or slightly bigger than the diameter of hole 76) is pushed through the container, several tabs formed by cuts 78 are forced and pushed downward between cuts 78.
Obviously numerous other modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its scope as defined in the appended claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
10Referring first to Figures 1 and 2, a typical prior art beverage container consists of a body 10 which may have a square, rectangular, cylindrical, oval or other geometric shape, with a top surface 12. Surface 12 is provided with a circular access hol~
14. The body may be made for e~ample of a paper or cardboard layer 1516. Hole 14 is covered with a foil 18 made of a metallic or plastic material to keep the content~ from spoiling, at least until the package is opened. Optionally a wrapper 20 is also secured either all around the container, or at least on top of hole 14 to protect the container and maintain it waterproof. The wrapper may be made of a transparent material such as a plastic material.
Alternately, wrapper 20 may consist of a pull-away tab.
The beverage from the container 10 may be withdrawn for example by using a straw 22. Frequently straw 22 is cut diagonally at one end, such as 24 to form a piercing point 26. As shown in Figure 2, the container is opened by pushing the point 26 of straw 22 against the wrapper portion 20 disposed above the hole r i~ J~
14 causing the wrapper 20 and foil 18 to puncture and allowing the straw to be inserted into the container. The disadvantages of the container 10 are discussed above.
E~eferring now to Figures 3-6, the present invention provides 5 a cont:ainer 40 which, like container 10, may have any desired geometric shape. The container 40 includes a top surface 42 with an access means 44. As shown more clearly in Figures 5 and 6, the container may be made for example of several layers as described herein. More particularly, the container 40 is made of a cardboard 46, having an inner barrier layer 48 made of a plastic material or a foil. The outside of the container is covered with a protective wrapper 50 preferably made of polyethylene or other plastic material. The three layers 46, 48 and 50 are laminated to each other. Alternatively, the layers 48 and/or 50 are applied over a region of layer 46 adjacent to the access means 44. Importantly the access means 44 consists of two portions: a hole portion 44A, and a plurality of cuts 44B. The portion 44A passes through layer 46 and may have a variety of shapes. Preferably the shape of portion 44A is selected to partially conform to the shape of the straw to be used. For example, if a straw 52 having a circular cross-section is to be used, hole portion 44A has a partially circular shape, having a radius approximately equal to or smaller than the radius of the straw. Cuts 449 extend tangentially away from section 44A, each cut having a length which exceeds the radius of section 44A, or straw 52. These cuts 44B define a wedge shaped region 58, therebetween on the surface 42 as shown.
The beverage container constructed in accordance with this invention is used as follows. A straw 52 (similar to the straw shown in Figures 1 and 2) is pushed against the access means 44 as shown in Figure 5. As the straw 52 is pushed into the container it ruptures the layers 48, 50. Moreover, since the diameter of the straw exceeds the dimensions of the cut 44A, the straw 52 separates the region 58 along cuts 44B and pushes it downwardly to form a tab as shown in Figures 5 and 6. Importantly as region 58 separates, it allows gas disposed on top of the container, near access means 44 to escape as indicated by the arrow 54. As a result, during this initial stage, pressure built up within the container is relieved and the beverage will not surge through the straw. When the straw is pushed far enough into the container as shown in Figure 6, the beverage is sucked out through the straw in the normal manner. In this position, the bent region 58, forms a seal around the straw, however it is shaped so that it will allow air to enter into the container to displace the beverage sucked out as shown by arrow 56. In this manner syphoning and the collapse of the container are avoided.
Of course, other shaped straws may be used as well with a suitable change in the shape of cut 44A. For example, if the straw is triangular, semi-circular section 44A is replaced by a triangular section having smaller dimensions than the straw to insure that when the straw is inserted therein the hole and the regions formed by the cuts act in a manner similar to the one described above.
~ f; ~ i S
In an alternate embodiment shown in Figure 7, surface 62 of a container similar to container 40 in Figure 3, is provided with an acc:ess means 64. The access means 64 includes a semicircular D-shaped opening 66 and two or more cuts 68 extending away therefrom. When a straw is inserted into the container, it pierces the layers covering hole 66.
In the embodiment of Figure 8 access means 74 includes a D-shaped hole 76 and a plurality of cuts 78 spaced closer than in the embodiment of Figure 7. When a straw (having a diameter equal for or slightly bigger than the diameter of hole 76) is pushed through the container, several tabs formed by cuts 78 are forced and pushed downward between cuts 78.
Obviously numerous other modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its scope as defined in the appended claims.
