Abstract:
An article contains an elbow ( 10 ) having at least two sections ( 20, 30 ) that are hingedly attached to one another by means of a hinging joint ( 40 ) so that the first section ( 20 ) can move in a plane with respect to the second section ( 30 ), wherein the sections ( 20, 30 ) define a passageway ( 50 ) through which a dispensing straw may extend. The passageway ( 50 ) extends all the way through the two sections ( 20, 30 ) and perpendicularly through the hinging joint ( 40 ) attaching them. The article can include a bendable dispensing straw ( 60 ) extending through the passageway of the elbow.

Claim (Index 1):
An article comprising an elbow ( 10 ) comprising at least two sections that are hingedly attached to one another by means of a hinging joint ( 40 ) so that the first section ( 20 ) can move in a plane with respect to the second section ( 30 ), wherein the sections define a passageway ( 50 ) through the elbow through which a dispensing straw ( 60 ) can extend where the passageway extends all the way through the two sections and perpendicularly through the hinging joint attaching them and further characterized by the elbow being movable along the length of a dispensing straw to provide versatility in the dimensions of sections of straw on either side of the elbow.
