Abstract: |
A plastic spoon attachment, integrally molded with a conventional container cover, has spoon bowl wings separated by a tapering tunnel into which a soda straw end fits. When the straw is in place the wings and the periphery of the straw end define a spoon bowl for which the rest of the straw forms a handle. Preferably the spoon attachment and a container cover are injection molded in one piece with a parting line at the juncture of the spoon attachment and the cover.

I claim:
1. A spoon bowl attachment for cooperation with a soda straw comprising a substantially cylindrical wall defining a straw-receiving tunnel open along one side and enveloping a major portion of the straw section therein, spoon bowl wings extending away from the longitudinal axis of the tunnel and attached to the cylindrical wall, said tunnel diminishing in cross section toward the tip of the spoon bowl remote from the straw so as to grip a soda straw inserted therein, and an end wall of the tunnel tending to close the suction end of the tunnel.
