Description

The The invention relates to a bag for preparing an infusion beverage in a vessel or in a container, wherein the bag is connected to the head side with a handle. The But invention also relates to the production of the bag or the handle even.

bag for preparing an infusion beverage are known as teabags, for example. These are more common Make a double chamber bag made of appropriate filter paper on the head side is connected to a thread, on the other End of a label is attached. To prepare the infusion beverage is the exemplary tea bag in a vessel, for example, in a cup brought in. Subsequently gets hot Put water in the cup. To the tea bag after the brewing process to remove from the vessel, the thread is before the brewing process For example, with a handle or a handle of the vessel or of the container connected. Thus, the teabag is always tangible on the label, it should be noted, however, that the connection of the tea bag over the Thread with the vessel not always so sure, so that it can happen that the Thread or the bag from the compound dissolves and the infusion process or brewing process with the label together in the hot liquid or in the infusion water arrives. The tea bag must then be fished out of the hot water.

One Another problem is that when the teabag after the brewing process removed from the vessel This is becoming more common Simmer a little more, taking these drops from the tea bag Naturally are very hot, so that there is a significant risk of injury to the connoisseur of the tea, because this one with the hot drops scald can. After the brewing process It is therefore desired to express the liquid stored in the infusion. This happens, for example, so that the bag is placed on a spoon, the thread being wrapped around the bag and the spoon under tension becomes. This will be the hot one liquid partially squeezed out, the user also here with the hot liquid can come into contact, which can also lead to the aforementioned scalding.

For example, the problem is that of disposing of the bag as drip-free as possible US 2,698,082 , in quasi a kind of tub is proposed, which is attached to the tea bag and at the same time serves as a holder of the bag on the cup rim. After the brewing process, the bag is removed together with the trough-like receptacle from the container, so that the bag can be stored in the receptacle, for example, stored on a table. The disadvantage here, however, that due to the length of the teabag, this can only be used on a limited number of flat cups. Deep containers, such as pitchers or high-walled cups should therefore be excluded. In addition, there is a kind of force friction at the support points of the recording with the cup, so that even with a deep vessel or even with the aforementioned flat cup there is a risk that the entire construction of the heaviest part, namely following the water-soaked tea bag in the cup could be involved.

The DE 196 18 737 A1 relates to a teabag for making tea in a vessel, comprising an elongated bag part of filter material, such as filter paper or nonwoven fabric, which is filled with tea and connected to a handle forming the filling opening with a handle extending longitudinally beyond the bag part, with which the tea bag can be fixed to the outside of the vessel. The handle consists of a rigid material having reforming properties and forms with the bag part a hinge extending over the transverse side, wherein at least one cut is provided on the handle which opens in an area outside the connection area between the handle and the bag part towards the edge of the handle is trained.

The US 2008/0017043 A1 is also concerned with an infusion bag having a pocket with the scavenging material received therein and a plate, the plate having wings and a central flap, the bag being connected to the central flap so that the bag can be lifted. In that regard, the reveals US 2008/0017043 A1 a tea bag, which also provides by an additional part of a handle with which the user can pull the tea bag from the finished tea and squeeze out the contents by pressing, and then dispose of the bag drip-free. The central tab closes the tea bag at the top opening, the bag being graspable at the central tab when the brewing process is complete. However, this disadvantageously is the risk that with the removal of the tab, so that the bag is movable relative to the wings, so it can be pulled through this, the bag on its head side together with the destruction of the perforation between the central flap and can tear or tear the wings. Furthermore, the in the US 2008/0017043 A1 plate shown only for laying on the edge of a tea glass, a so-called Turkish glass, which is so intentional, because the plate should serve as a lid during the brewing process at the same time to the inside of the container against Um sealing effects. The disadvantage here is that the plate in your dimension in the radial direction is adapted only to certain vessels, so that glasses with larger diameters can not be covered with the plate.

Also the US 2006/0222738 A1 deals with a device for squeezing a tea bag after the brewing process is finished. In this case, the tea bag is pulled over threads in a pocket whose opposite sides or walls are compressible, so that the still stored in the tea bag liquid can be expressed.

outgoing from the aforementioned prior art and the existing disadvantages the invention has the object, a bag, or its Handle the input named type with simple means so too improve that the bag can be attached to a container, for example, during the pouch of pulling securely on the container lingers and as easy as possible after completion of the brewing process for the user again from the container is removable, while ensuring that the bag as possible without accidentally dripping on the skin of the user by the user expressed, removed and can be disposed of, at the same time a possible efficient and cost effective However, also varied to be produced tea bags provided shall be.

According to the invention Task through a bag for preparing an infusion beverage in a vessel or in a container comprising the features of claim 1 and a method of manufacturing the bag with the features of claim 9 solved.

Advantageous it is provided that the handle has a fastening element for fastening the bag and a holding member for holding the bag to the vessel or on the container , wherein the holding element in its basic position two each other opposing Has tabs whose head sides are spaced so that a Gap is formed, extending from the head to the opposite foot side extends, preferably cone-shaped extended, wherein the tabs in each case with at least one cheek in Connection are arranged at the at least one predetermined breaking web is, which is connected to the fastening element.

The Basic position in the context of the invention is the position in which the tabs are not deflected. The tabs can be compressed or widened and thus leave the basic position, but preferably return back in this again.

In a first preferred embodiment, the bag with a Narrow in relation to its longitudinal side Transverse side executed, so that almost a longitudinal elongated, rectangular bag is formed. The bag is with the handle connected so that, for example, a so-called Teestick is formed. This tea stick can over the handle, in particular over the Retaining element with its opposite Tabs on a container edge be placed so that the bag with the recorded therein Infusion in the filled Liquid, that means that Water is arranged. After completion of the brewing process becomes the handle z. B. gripped in the region of the fastener, wherein at the same time z. B. can be attacked on the cheek and / or on the tabs, so that the fastener by means of destruction of the predetermined breaking webs, what for example about a relative rotation of the fastening element to the tab or reached to the cheek, is detachable from the cheek. Thus, the user has the two sub-elements (holding element, fastener) separated from each other, wherein the bag, which still on the fastener is fixed, preferably pulled through the gap from bottom to top is, while the opposite tabs are pressed together can, so that this force causes a squeezing of the infused material. Of course the bag can be partially through the gap between the two Tabs are pulled, with the two tabs of course compressed alternately can be and also back to their original one Position (home position). In order to it is ensured that the bag is essentially gradually in essence Completely is freed from the water stored in the infusion. Of course it is it is particularly advantageous if this pressing-out process is carried out in this way, that the water stored in the infusion also gets into the container. When squeezing is ensured that the user due the loosening be called Drops or liquid can not hurt or scald can, because the tabs serve as a kind of shield.

is the bag or the infusion material stored in it is sufficiently squeezed out, For example, the bag together with the holding element, which of the fastener is separated, disposed of without risk of injury.

The gap may extend with a constant gap amount from the head side to the foot side. In order to form the preferably cone-shaped gap, it is advantageously provided that the respective tab is connected via a connecting web to the respective cheek, wherein the connecting web expediently has at least one cone-shaped section which expands towards the foot side.

In order to the handle on differently designed container edges, for example, on thick-walled cup walls and / or thin-walled cup margins placed is, and to ensure can, that the tabs are compressible as described above, it is appropriate in the sense the invention, when the tabs are arranged flexibly on the cheeks are. This can for example be achieved by the respective Tab in the area or directly slotted on the connecting bar briefly becomes. In this respect, quasi spring tabs are formed. This is advantageous when the gap from the head side to the foot side remains the same Has amount, so that the tabs then with the respective stress can dodge in the appropriate direction. That means the handle held at the respective receiving edge quasi in a clamped fit is. In addition, you can also avoid the spring tabs when the bag through the Slit is pulled, here already a squeezing of the stored liquid is effected. Of course These advantages also result in a preferably conical expanding gap. The tabs or spring tabs are preferred on the head side can be stored rigidly so do not dodge as much as the foot, or can not dodge.

Appropriate in the sense the invention is that the head sides of the tabs to a associated side of the fastener adapted course exhibit. This is favorable, as in a release of the Fastening element of the handle this at the relative Twisting movement to the cheek, around the predetermined breaking webs or at least to destroy a breaking bridge, is released, so quasi-free d. H. without contact to Head side of the tab is movable.

Around the handle or the tea bag with the attached handle over the quasi-prefers conical (Gap) spaced apart tabs on a container edge to be able to put on and / or to ensure to be able to that the teabag over the handle, for example, on a handle of a cup of a mug or a jug is easily attachable, is advantageously provided that handle additional Having pliers, which are preferably designed as an extension of the cheeks, wherein the pliers comprise the fastening element like a circle and a separating slot.

1 shows a bag 1 for preparing an infusion beverage in a vessel or in a container, wherein the bag 1 on the head side with a handle 2 connected is. The bag can be designed, for example, as a tea bag, and therefore has as an infusion example tea leaves inside. The vessel or container may be a cup, a cup or a jug, to name just a few examples.

The handle 2 has a fastener 3 for attaching the bag 1 and a holding element 4 to hold the bag 1 on the vessel. The holding element 4 has two opposite tabs 6 whose head sides 7 are spaced so that a gap 8th is formed, as shown in the embodiment, for example, from the head side 7 to the opposite foot side 9 expanded cone-shaped, with the tabs 6 each with at least one cheek 11 in connection, at least a predetermined breaking bridge 12 is arranged, with the fastener 3 connected is. The footsides 9 can be rounded at their free end ( 1 ) or linear ( 2 ).

In the illustrated embodiment according to 1 are the opposite tabs 6 each executed identical to each other, wherein the tabs 6 seen in the plane of the drawing in each case laterally via connecting webs 13 with the sideways cheek 11 are connected. This is especially clear 2 to take which a detail of the handle 2 shows.

As the embodiment according to 1 and 2 it can be seen, the cheeks go 11 head in pliers 14 about, which will be discussed further below.

In the illustrated embodiment according to 1 or 2 is the fastener 3 designed as a circular plate. Relative to a central axis X of the handle 2 are the predetermined breaking webs 12 each laterally and diametrically opposite to the fastener 3 and on the cheeks 11 arranged. The breakaway webs 12 connect so the fastener 3 with the cheeks 11 , and thus with the holding element 4 , The breakaway webs 12 are sized so that the fastener 3 in use, not from the cheeks 11 but nevertheless solves a deliberately introduced, preferably low force to destroy the breakage webs 12 would be enough. For destroying the breakaway webs 12 For example, on the fastener 3 and on the opposite tabs 6 be attacked, with the fastener 3 relative to the cheeks 11 is twisted, so that the predetermined breaking webs 12 be destroyed. The head side 7 the respective tab 6 is as shown by way of example of the geometric configuration of the fastening element 3 adapted executed, and has a corresponding rounded recess. This is advantageous in that as the fastener 3 at its relative twist to the cheek 11 no contact to the head side 7 the tab 6 will have.

The tabs 6 are as flat plates over the connecting webs 13 with the respective cheek 11 connected. To the preferred cone-shaped widened gap 8th to be able to form, is advantageously provided that the connecting webs 13 from the head 7 the tabs 6 towards the foot side 9 expand conically. Insofar can also of wedge-shaped connecting webs 13 to be spoken.

The tabs 6 are at least sufficiently flexible on the foot side so that they can be sufficiently pressed or pressed against each other. To the flexibility of the tabs 6 To increase further, is advantageously provided in the tab 6 adjacent to the connecting bridge 13 at least in sections a slot 16 contribute. The slot 16 is initially oriented in the direction of the central axis X and then extends from a free edge of the connecting web 13 Oriented towards the head side 7 and has a length such that the flexibility of the opposing tabs 6 is increased, but at the same time a further tearing at a compression or a flexible load on the tabs 6 is avoided. In other words, the slot 16 designed so that this one hand, the flexibility of the tabs 6 increases in both directions, so in a compressing and dodging, while maintaining the required stability, so that the bag or the handle 2 quasi in the clamping seat preferably can be placed on a container edge.

In the 1 and 2 illustrated pliers 14 are according to the geometric configuration of the fastening element 3 executed on this adapted running, with the pliers 14 to the fastener 3 are spaced, so that in turn a gap between the two is formed. The pliers 14 extend in the plane of the drawing 1 and 2 each left and right to the fastener 3 around and include this in a quarter circle section. The pliers shown on the left and right in the drawing plane 14 are with a preferably centrally and congruent to the central axis X introduced separating slot 17 separated from each other, so that each free edges 18 the pliers 14 opposite each other. This increases the flexibility of the pliers 14 so that the bag 1 about the handle 2 not only on a container edge (over the two tabs 6 ) Can be placed, but also by means of pliers 14 can be attached to a handle of the container, for example a cup, a cup or a jug.

At the in 3 illustrated embodiment, the handle 2 unlike in 2 illustrated embodiment, no pliers. In addition, the fastener 3 from two geometrically different sections 19 . 21 educated. The two subareas 19 . 21 go continuously into each other, whereby one of the subregions 19 is executed in the manner of a circular plate, which is cut in a secant, wherein this partial area 19 the second subarea 21 connects, which is rectangular in the illustrated embodiment.

The breakaway webs 12 but are in turn with respect to the central axis X diametrically opposite to the fastener 3 , or the section of a circle executed partial area 19 and the cheeks 11 arranged.

In contrast to the embodiment according to 2 the tabs extend 6 in the embodiment according to 3 head first with a constant gap in the direction of the foot 9 , where the gap 8th referred to the embodiment according to 2 first extended cone-shaped further down. Next is the slot 16 in contrast to the embodiment according to 2 each with an exemplary horizontally extending section 26 provided, which extends in the direction of the central axis X.

In 4 is a starting material of the handle 2 represented, which from a piece of paper or cardboard, which can also be provided with a one-sided or double-sided film provided, is embossed or deep drawn. This results in two mirror-symmetrical parts with respect to a mirror axis Y, which then obtain their final shape by shaping, for example punching. At the in 4 The manufacturing step shown are already the tabs 6 as well as the connecting webs 13 and the cheeks 11 recognizable. At the in 5 The manufacturing step shown is the fastener 3 from the in 4 above the tabs 6 punched out area arranged, in each case the predetermined breaking webs 12 have stopped. At the same time the pliers were 14 punched in her previously described embodiment, and the cheeks 11 and connecting bridges 13 from the foot side 9 towards the head side 9 preferably shortened by half. In addition, the slot was 16 in the tabs 6 brought in. The tabs 6 can also be referred to as spring tabs.

So are, like that 5 can be removed, two formed with respect to the mirror axis mirror-image parts which are collapsible about the mirror axis Y, so that the handle according to the invention 2 is formed. The mirror axis Y forms a kind of hinge about which the two mirror-image parts are collapsible. When molding the handle 2 become flat connecting surfaces 22 ( 6 ), which can be provided with an adhesive, for example, so that the two mirror-symmetrical parts at the respective corresponding planar connecting surfaces 22 can be connected to each other. The plan connection surfaces 22 are for example in 6 recognizable as the inner surface of the two mirror-symmetrical parts.

Like that 5 and 6 removable, the fastener 3 from two mutually corresponding fastening part elements 23 . 24 formed, which ever Weil on the mirror-symmetric part of the handle 2 are arranged. Possible is the interface 22 the respective fastening part elements 23 respectively. 24 consistently plan to execute, then between two fastening sub-elements 23 respectively. 24 To attach the tea bag, before the two mirror-symmetrical parts are folded together and then connected together. But it is also favorable if at least one of the fastening part elements 23 and or 24 at its interface 22 is not consistently designed plan, so that a receptacle is formed, in which a head side of the bag 1 can be inserted and connected. The other fastening part element 23 and or 24 Of course, a flat or even continuous connecting surface 22 exhibit. If the two mirror-symmetrical parts are then folded on top of each other around the mirror axis, adhesive is located on the flat connecting surfaces 22 , the two mirror-symmetrical parts become the handle 2 together. It extends, as exemplified by the 1 is removable, the bag through the gap 8th from the handle 2 path. Will now be the fastener 3 in the manner described above from the cheek 11 solved, will the bag through the gap 8th pulled, with the gap 8th at least on the head side can already be dimensioned so that an additional pressing or compressing the opposing tabs 6 is not essential to dissolve the water stored in the infusion. Of course, it is quite advantageous nevertheless to solve the water stored in the infusion by means of the supportive compression of the opposing tabs from the infusion. Of course, this can be done alternately, so that the bag is expressed step by step.

At the in 7 illustrated embodiment is the handle 2 about a 90 ° to the mirror axis Y twisted mirror axis Y1 collapsible. In 8th is a handle 2 shown, in which no pliers are provided. The fastener 3 is according to the execution too 3 executed. The fastener 3 can rotate by relative rotation of the holding element 4 be solved, both radially to the Y-axis and as described above.

At the in 9 illustrated embodiment is a one-sided pliers 14 shown. The pliers have their separating slot 17 on the right drawing plane. The dividing slot 17 separates the pliers 14 from the cheek 11 , It is conceivable a single break bridge 12 provided. Preferably, two predetermined breaking webs 12 arranged at a 90 ° angle to each other, wherein one of the predetermined breaking webs is congruent to the center pocket X.

To the clamping effect of the tabs 6 To further increase, they may have a curved course in a further favorable embodiment. Such as B. 10 shows, the tabs can 6 each have a curved outward course. It is expedient if the bulges have an amount such that a squeezing of the bag 1 by means of the tabs 6 is sufficiently accessible. The respective buckling amounts can be different. As shown, the opposite tabs 6 opposite vaulting, so that in addition to the preferred conical gap 8th a correspondingly curved gap profile or interior space between the two tabs 6 is formed. It is also conceivable, the opposite tabs 6 to provide each with the same curvature orientation, wherein the respective Völbungsbeträge may be different. That means one of the tabs 6 with its curvature center has an outwardly oriented curvature, with the other tab 6 with its curvature center has an inwardly oriented curvature. This not only improves the clamping effect, but also facilitates expressions. It is possible, the two tabs 6 each with different axial length, so that a tab 6 longer or shorter than the other.

At the in 11 illustrated embodiment can be seen that the connecting webs 13 not only widen wedge-like, but are also oriented away from the x-axis, so that the tabs 6 Broaden laterally with respect to the X-axis, and wherein the preferably cone-like widening gap 8th is formed. The tabs 6 are virtually provided with a double cone, in such a way that the gap 8th extended, and the tabs 6 widen in the transverse direction.

In the 12 and 13 is exemplified that, of course, embossing 27 or formations can be provided, which is an insertion of the bag 1 simplify. Again 13 can be seen particularly clearly, has the fastener 3 a semi-circular section 28 on, which in a step-like partial area 29 passes. So is a quasi another security element 31 formed, which is an improved connection of the bag to the fastener 3 provides. Because of the step-like design of the bag 1 deflected at its head side, so that increased resistance to inadvertent release of the bag from the fastening element 3 is formed. The bag 1 is quasi clamped in this embodiment, the head side in addition to the aforementioned compound. The effort, the head of the bag 1 possibly to provide with adhesive is to set here lower than the advantage achieved an improved connection previously separated elements.

It is also conceivable, however, the rectangular bag described above 1 which has a greater extent in the longitudinal direction than in the transverse direction, by means of a connecting element 32 in the preferred embodiment as a thread 32 with the fastener 3 to connect, such as the exemplary embodiments of the 14 to 16 demonstrate.

15 shows that the bag 1 with a thread 32 is connected, which is arranged on the head side along the transverse direction, so that two free ends 33 are formed, the z. B. by means of a node 34 are connected. The string 32 So it's like a triangle, if the thread 32 with the weight of the bag 1 is charged.

In 14 is to guide the thread 32 an imprint 36 on the not yet made fastener 3 arranged, which has a corresponding course.

At the in 15 illustrated Ausfüh Example is a web-like thread guide 37 provided, which is designed and arranged so that the two Trumme of the thread 32 always abut this, even if the bag 1 over operation of the thread 32 in the gap 8th is withdrawn. The thread guide 37 is preferably centered on the tabs 6 arranged in the area of their head sides. So both are trumming the thread 32 always spaced from each other, so that advantageously a tangling or jamming of the thread 32 in the tabs 6 is avoided. The shaped or embossed elements, ie z. B. the thread guide 37 is flat with its free protruding surface to the remaining adhesive surfaces. The exemplary node 34 is right down to the dividing slot 17 the pliers 14 led, which is of course only exemplary and not limiting. The knot 34 is almost as a backup thickening 34 to consider, which in case of excessive traction slippage of the thread 32 through the fastener 3 avoids.

At the in 16 illustrated embodiment, an embossment is provided, which in the fastener 3 , or is arranged in two sub-elements. The embossing is to the triangular course of the thread 32 executed correspondingly. In addition, the thread guide 37 intended. In this embodiment, the embossment is for receiving the node 34 executed.

The thread guide 37 can also be referred to as a spacer. Meaningful way is the respective thread guide 37 so executed that the bag 1 after disconnecting the fastener 3 through the gap 8th is drawable, and expressible by the action of the tabs. The tabs 6 In this case, they can have a longitudinal extent from their top side to the foot side, which is used to configure the bag 1 , Especially in its longitudinal extent corresponds, so that the bag or the filter material preferably completely from the tabs 6 is covered when this in the gap 8th is withdrawn. In this respect, the dimensions are at least in the 14 to 19 not to scale. The thread guide 37 is also useful because of the (flexible, so not motionless) thread 32 as opposed to attaching the bag directly to the fastener 3 , itself has no leadership function, and could twist in the handle. However, the handle can not be opened without destroying it. Therefore, the thread guide 37 sensibly provided.

To connect the bag 1 with the thread 32 , this first forms a loop, which attaches to the bag 1 is created. A piece of the bag 1 (Head side) is folded down and glued to the loop.

At the in 17 embodiment shown are two formations or embossments 38 provided, which are spaced apart in the transverse direction, so that between the two a free space 39 is formed. This embodiment is also suitable for a bag 1 z. B. in the embodiment as a double-chamber bag, the head side with a thread 32 connected, such as 18 shows. The string 32 extends eintrummig from the top of the bag 1 towards his free end 41 , In so far can be referred to the state of the art, in which at the free end 41 a label can be arranged. In the invention, however, is at the free end 41 again a fuse thickening 34 or a node 34 intended. The string 32 is in the open space 39 inserted, and with the fastener 3 or connected to one of its sub-elements, or preferably glued, both mirror-symmetrical parts z. B. to the mirror axis Y are folded on each other. The knot 34 or the securing thickening 34 is about the fastener 3 out and prevents slipping, the fastening force should not be sufficient against the applied tensile force.

At the in 19 illustrated embodiment is based on 16 a recess for receiving the thread 32 or its node on the fastener 3 or arranged on the sub-elements.

Of course, in the 16 and 19 provided embossments are provided with adhesive, or the thread is provided at the appropriate location with adhesive.

The handle 2 So it can be both with an elongated bag 1 directly, or through a thread 32 indirectly with the bag 1 be connected, whereby the core of the invention is not left.
