Abstract
A one-piece container for potable liquids (e.g., beverages) includes a body portion formed of a plastics material and sized to accommodate a predetermined volume of potable liquid, and a drinking straw in fluid communication with the potable liquid within the body portion. A flexible bellows member interconnects the straw to the body portion so as to allow the straw to be foldable between a stowed position (e.g., during periods of nonuse) and an erected position (e.g., during periods of use). A recess may be formed in the body portion (e.g., in a side wall and/or an upper portion thereof) so as to accommodate the drinking straw in its stowed position. Longitudinal rigidity and stability may be provided by a series of circumferentially spaced-apart ribs integrally formed on the otherwise flexible (and collapsible) body portion.
