DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mini-cup for sealing a beverage having a dripper function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a method for extracting and filtering an extract of a powdered beverage with hot water, a method using a dripper with a filter, a method for attaching a paper filter to the dripper, and a paper bag also serving as a filter containing a powdered beverage are used. And a teapot.

[0003]

In any of these methods, a container or a multi-package is required for storing the powdered beverage in a sealed, moisture-proof and storage manner, and preparation for drinking, disposal of waste, and dripper are required. It is desired to simplify the cleaning because the cleaning is troublesome. Also, it is difficult to drink the beverage by this method on the go because of the above reasons. An object of the present invention is to make the dripper easy to handle and to simplify the packaging and storage form from these viewpoints.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems Two hook-shaped hooks for attaching to a drinking cup are provided on one side of an upper portion of a thin resin mini cup molded into a substantially rectangular box shape with openings on the upper and lower surfaces. A hook is provided, and a peelable upper seal film is fixed to an opening on the upper surface of the mini cup, and a peelable lower seal film is fixed to an opening on the lower surface. A dense filter for filtering the extract is fixed.

[0005] Instead of opening the lower surface of the mini-cup, an infinite number of small holes may be provided in this surface to replace the filter.

Further, a separable thin plate-shaped substantially rectangular spoon provided with a fold for stirring the drip beverage may be formed integrally with the mini cup below the hook provided on the mini cup. . The present invention is a mini cup for sealing a dripper powder beverage having the above configuration.

[0007]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. Two hook-shaped hooks 2 for attaching to a drinking cup are provided on one side of an upper portion of a thin resin mini-cup 1 having an opening on the upper surface and a lower surface and formed into a substantially rectangular box shape. A peelable upper seal film 3 is fixed to an opening on the upper surface of the mold 1 and a peelable lower seal film 4 is fixed to an opening on the lower surface. Adhere a tight filter for filtration.

Also, without making the lower surface of the mini cup 1 an opening,
Innumerable small holes may be provided on this surface to replace the filter 5.

Further, a separable thin plate-like and substantially rectangular spoon 6 provided with a fold 7 for stirring the drip beverage is provided below the hook 2 provided on the mini cup 1 integrally with the mini cup 1. It may be molded. The present invention is configured as described above.

The method of use of the present invention is as follows. First, the upper seal film 3 and the lower seal film 4 are peeled off, and in this state, as shown in FIG. Pour boiling water through the opening on the top of the cup 1 and filter the extract of the powdered beverage 8 inside the filter 5.
And drip into the drinking cup 9. Further, if necessary, by holding the mini-cup 1 in a state of being dipped in the extracted liquid after drip, the exuded liquid of the powdered beverage 8 can be dissolved in the extracted liquid, and the concentration of the extracted liquid can be increased.

[0011]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained. (A) Since the powdered beverage container and the dripper are integrated, the packaging form is simplified, easy to store and carry, and can be brought to work or outdoors. (B) No dripper or filter is required, making it easy to prepare for drinking and clean up. In particular, washing and storage after use of the dripper are unnecessary. (C) It is easy to select a favorite beverage or brand. Especially, you can enjoy regular coffee, black tea, green tea, herbal tea, etc. even on the go. (D) Since the powdered beverage is sealed with the upper and lower seal films, it has excellent sealing properties and moisture resistance, can be stored for a long period of time, and does not lose its flavor or aroma. Also, since a fixed amount of powdered beverage is enclosed, there is no need for measurement. (E) Unlike the conventional drip method, by holding the mini cup immersed in the drip-extracted liquid, the leachate of the powdered beverage dissolves in the extract, and the concentration of the extract can be increased. (F) It can be used regardless of the size or shape of the drinking cup. (G) In the case of the embodiment in which the spoon that can be separated is provided in the mini-cup of claim 3, it is not necessary to prepare or wash a normally used spoon.
