Abstract:
A novelty drinking apparatus comprising:(a) a liquid reservoir having a first liquid outlet, ducted by a first ducting from a first inlet in a liquid within the reservoir, (b) a second liquid outlet ducted by a second ducting from a second inlet outside of said reservoir yet in the vicinity of said first liquid outlet, (c) a chamber which holds said first liquid outlet and said second inlet in a separated condition within said chamber, wherein a suction applied at, on or about said second liquid outlet induces a flow of liquid pulled from the liquid reservoir through said first and second ducting, and wherein said first ducting is arranged to direct the flow of liquid immediately before said first liquid outlet in a direction to said second inlet, such that the inertia of liquid leaving the first ducting through said first liquid outlet establishes an unducted portion of said flow of liquid from said first liquid outlet to said second inlet, wherein said reservoir is a container with a mouth region opening substantially sealed for use by a closure portion of said chamber, save for at least one pressure equalization opening for said reservoir means and said first liquid outlet.
