Abstract:

YAQRUB would consist of a cartoon of milk, soft drink can, or juice bottle that would feature an attached straw. The conic spring-style, flexible straw would be incorporated inside the can or container. The user would simply remove the peel off tab, can or container opener and the straw would automatically extend through an opening.

There's no need to open any package, touch YAQRUB with our hands or be manipulated because it comes incorporated and compressed inside the can or container. We never have to drink directly from the can or container, which is very important. It reduces or eliminates the risk of dangerous contaminants entering our bodies.

There's no possibility for a child, senior or disabled person to introduce a body part inside the can or container orifice once it is opened, YAQRUB will be obstructing the can or container opening.

YAQRUB is environmental friendly; there will be no packaging waste. Also, it is going to be easier to recover for recycling purposes, since YAQRUB is fixed inside to the can or container.
