Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is a simple drip-type beverage maker in which a predetermined amount of coffee bean powder or other beverage material packed in advance is detachably attached to the bottom of the dripper. Regarding this, it can be used to extract various beverages, and the concentration thereof can be adjusted.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

In recent years, a filter has been attached directly to the bottom opening of a dripper that is fitted into a coffee cup, etc., and a fixed amount (for one person) of coffee bean powder, etc. is sealed between it and the upper filter that is stretched above it. Some disposable drippers have been developed, but
In such a structure, since the entire molded dripper is discarded each time, the speed at which hot water passes through the dripper through the bean powder, that is, the time required to extract the beverage, is constant, so it is possible to create a drink with a concentration that suits each person's preference. Various inconveniences were observed, including that it was difficult to obtain.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, the present invention rotatably joins a dripper main body having a number of through holes in its bottom and an adjustment body having through holes corresponding to the through holes, By making it possible to continuously change the opening amount of both the above-mentioned through-holes, and by detachably attaching a cartridge containing beverage materials under the above-mentioned adjustment body, the above-mentioned disadvantages can be solved and the brewing time can be varied. This device can be used to extract beverages from various beverage materials.

[Effect]

The dripper of the present invention having the above structure allows the opening amount of the through hole to be selected by rotating the main body and the adjusting body a certain amount relative to each other, thereby freely adjusting the passage speed of the hot water poured into the dripper main body relative to the cartridge. It has the effect of being able to do something.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, the simple dripper of the present invention will be described in more detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

(Part 1) In Figures 1 to 3, 1 indicates a large number of through holes 1 on the bottom.
2 is an adjustment body having a through hole 2a corresponding to the through hole 1a and an outer flange 2b that engages with the outer edge of the cartridge 3 described below; It is rotatably joined to the bottom surface of the body via a locking pawl 2c, so that the amount of opening through which hot water passes can be continuously increased or decreased.

The cartridge 3 is molded from a hard plastic film or the like, and has a flange 3b placed on the upper edge of the cup C and through holes 1a and 2a in the concave bottom surface of the dripper main body. A beverage material 3c such as coffee bean powder is placed between two upper and lower filters 3d and 3d' which have an opening 3a larger than the opening amount obtained, and which are stretched between the upper surface and the concave bottom surface of the flange 3b. It is enclosed. However, the lower filter 3d' may be stretched over the lower surface of the concave bottom.

Further, 4 indicates the type of beverage that is provided for coffee, black tea, or green tea having different brewing times, and 5 indicates the flange 3b of the cartridge and the cup C.
This is a protrusion for forming a gap for ventilation between the upper edges of the ridge.

In the figure, 6 indicates a hot water level scale displayed on the inner circumferential surface of the dripper main body 1, and 7 indicates a lid and cartridge holder having an appropriate exhaust hole 7' provided in the fitting part with the main body 1. , these are all provided as necessary.

To explain how to use the dripper shown in the above embodiment, when brewing a desired beverage, for example, coffee, first rotate the dripper main body 1 and the adjustment body 2 relative to each other to display the type. By matching 4 to "coffee", the above through hole 1
Set a and 2a to opening amounts suitable for the coffee extraction time.

Next, by inserting the flange 3b of the coffee cartridge between the dripper and the cup C and pouring a fixed amount (for one person) of hot water into the dripper main body 1, coffee can be extracted in the best condition. It is possible.

(Part 2) Figures 4 and 5 show other embodiments of the simple dripper according to the present invention, in which an adjustment body 2 rotatably fitted to the dripper main body 1 has a cup C at its lower end.
An outer flange 2b that is suspended on the upper edge is bent so that a presser ring 8 can be fitted below the through hole 2a corresponding to the through hole 1a of the main body, and the cartridge described below can be inserted between this ring 8 and It is used to hold the .

Similarly to the embodiment described above, the opening amount of the through holes 1a and 2a can be freely adjusted by rotating the dripper main body 1 and the adjustment body 2 by a certain amount.

Further, 3' indicates a cartridge that can be fitted along the lower part of the adjustment body 2, and the peripheries of the two filters 3'd and 3'd' filled with a suitable beverage material 3c are glued together to form a flange. 3b, and can be clamped via a presser ring 8 fitted below the adjustment body 2.

Note that the cartridge in this case is more economical because it can be obtained at a very low cost due to its structure.

Therefore, it goes without saying that the type display 4 shown in the first embodiment may be replaced with a concentration display of the extracted beverage determined by the opening amount of the through holes 1a and 2a. Further, it is preferable that the protrusion 5 for ventilation is provided on the lower surface of the outer flange 2b of the adjusting body.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, according to the simple dripper of the present invention, by rotating the main body 1 and the adjusting body 2 with respect to each other to set the desired type display or concentration display 4, the opening amount produced by the through holes 1a and 2a can be set. In addition to the fact that coffee, black tea, or green tea, etc., can be obtained by continuously changing the extraction time and the coffee, black tea, or green tea, etc., can be obtained in the best condition or at the concentration according to your preference, unlike conventional drippers of this type, the cartridge 3, 3' Just by replacing the cartridge, the main body can be used repeatedly, making it economical, and the cartridges can be vacuum packaged individually, so you can always get a drink with good flavor.
It brings about excellent effects.
