              			In 1959, Venkov introduced a concept of polytope of
non-zero width in the direction of a subspace
and studied parallelotopes of non-zero width.
In the present paper properties of a parallelotope of
non-zero width in the direction of a straight line are investigated.
In particular, it is proved that a parallelotope of non-zero width in the direction of a straight line is the Minkowski sum of a parallelotope of width zero and a segment of this line.
Necessary and sufficient conditions ensuring that the sum of a parallelotope
and a line segment is again a parallelotope are presented.
