JP2000085777A - Bottle mouthpiece and cap generating scent - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To lead scent constituents to a nose to cause the scent to be effectively smelled with a small amount so that tea containing a little saccharic elements can be tasted sweet like tea with sugar and can be prepared in a taste different from actual contents by adding a function for generating a scent to a bottle for drinking in which a human mouth touches a mouthpiece of the bottle. SOLUTION: A storage space 4 is formed at an upper end 3 of a mouthpiece 2 of a bottle 1, and a scent generator 5 is placed here. While a cap is fastened normally, a hole of the storage space 4 is closed by a flexible substance on the rear of the cap, so that no scent molecules may leak. When the cap is removed and contents of the bottle 1 are to be taken, the scent molecules generated from the generator 5 scatter in the air. Therefore, since a nose is positioned very closely to the generator 5 at the time of drinking, the scent molecules can be effectively smelled by the nose. The generator 5 at this time may be formed of felt for example with the scent molecules infiltrated. On the other hand, the scent generator may be placed on a side of the cap.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

In a conventional beverage bottle, drinking water itself contains a component emitting odor, and the component is volatilized, so that the odor is recognized by the nose. The smell actually gives most of the taste. However, it is an inefficient method to dissolve into the entire drinking water and to taste the human enough taste with a small amount evaporating from it. In addition, the taste of the drinking water itself was naturally the same taste.

[0002]

The present invention takes advantage of the fact that most of the taste is actually provided by smell. When drinking, people bring their face directly to the mouth of a plastic bottle or the like,
Naturally the mouth comes under the nose. A function to emit an odor is added to the mouth. It is effective even with a small amount, since the odor component directly enters the nose even in a small amount. By adding a stronger smell than the actual drink, a strong taste can be created. Thus, for example, even tea whose drinking water itself has no sugar content can be tasted sweet like black tea containing sugar, and can be used for a diet. In this way, it is possible not only to increase the smell but also to finish the taste completely different from the content of the actual drink.

[0003]

According to the present invention, in order to realize the above-mentioned effects, a space for accommodating an odor-generating object is provided at a base of a bottle. Referring to the drawings, in FIG. 1, a storage space 4 is provided at a mouth 2 of a bottle, and an odor generator 5 is installed therein. Normally, when the cap 6 is closed, the hole of the storage space installed at the upper end 3 of the mouth of the bottle is blocked by the soft body 7 on the back surface of the cap, so that no odor molecules leak. Remove the cap and the smell molecules will spread into the air only when drinking. FIG. 2B shows that when a person drinks bottled water, the nose 11 comes in close proximity to the odor generator, and the generated odor molecules 10 can be felt with the nose very efficiently. I have.

[0004] The odor generator can also be embodied, for example, in the form of felt or the like impregnated with odor molecules.

FIG. 2B shows an arrangement in which a generator of odor molecules can be placed on a cap. The odor generator 8 can diffuse from a hole 9 formed in the soft body 7 on the back surface of the cap.

Depending on the type of the odor component, even if the odor component is capped, it may be more effective to spread the odor component to the nose in advance in the bottle space. In that case, the position of the hole 9 in FIG.

[Brief description of the drawings]

FIG. 1A is a perspective view of a state in which a bottle cap is opened, and FIG.

FIG. 2A is a perspective view of a state in which a cap is connected to a mouth of a bottle. FIG. 2B is a side view of a state in which a person drinks drinking water from the bottle.
