Patent ID: 8485453

Claim:
A drinking straw arrangement floating on a top surface of a drink to extract a drink having minimal biological activity, said arrangement comprising: a straw having a side wall extends between proximal and distal ends thereof; a flotation device having a core portion defined by exterior walls thereof with a hollow space formed within the core portion; said straw passing through the exterior walls and the hollow space, the distal end of the straw extends outwardly from the flotation device, multiple groups of individual tubings, each said individual tubing in each said group extend outwardly from the distal end of the straw, each said tubing having an intake hole passing therethrough and through said side wall at said distal end of the straw, said individual tubings extend radially with respect to a longitudinal axis of the straw to define a fan shaped formation, said tubings in the fan shaped formation are disposed within at least one plane substantially perpendicular to a plane of said floatation device, the flotation device and the fan shaped intake tubings stabilize position of the arrangement and support the straw in an upright position on the top surface of the drink, said tubings with said intake holes are submerged into the drink at an optimal predetermined distance from a bottom of the exterior wall of the flotation device.
