Abstract

A straw hole punching apparatus is a device utilized to create a hole in a beverage container through which a drinking straw may be inserted. The straw hole punching apparatus comprises a plunger that may be depressed into a tubular base structure. A cutting implement is attached to a socket within the plunger and is able to slide through a guide channel within the tubular base structure when the plunger is depressed. A spring encircling the socket and the guide channel ensures that the plunger returns to its original position when the plunger is released after being depressed. The plunger is retained within the tubular base structure by a lip and a spacing ring that ensure that the plunger does not eject from the tubular base structure due to force provided by the spring upon the user releasing the plunger.
