Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a teapot with a tea strainer (5) having a large area and a large number of tea strainer holes (4) for improving the tea strainer performance of the teapot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional teapot, the teapot itself (1) is used.
Using the hot water opening (13) opening in the inner wall (2) of the
On top of this, a flat or hemispherical tea strainer made of the same substrate is integrally provided.

[0003]

In the conventional teapot, the tea strainer is integrally provided on the hot water outlet (13) of the inner wall (2), so that the area of the tea strainer is smaller than the hot water outlet (13). It is not possible to increase the size of the tea strainer (4) because it is limited by the area of the tea strainer. There was a problem that it decreased or pouring became impossible.

[0004]

According to the present invention, a tea strainer (5) having a large area and a large number of tea strainer holes (4) is provided on the inner bottom surface (3) of the teapot body (1). I have. By increasing the area of the tea strainer (5) and providing a large number of tea strainer holes (4) in this way, clogging of the tea strainer (5) of the teapot is eliminated and the tea strainer performance is remarkably improved. Even if the tea leaves are densely packed in the tea strainer body (5), there is no possibility that the tea strainer hole (4) is clogged and the pouring amount is reduced or pouring is impossible, so that the pouring can be performed smoothly. Become.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the teapot of the present invention, since the area of the tea strainer (5) is enlarged and a large number of tea strainers (4) are provided, an opening is formed in the inner wall (2) of the teapot body (1) as in the prior art. The tea strainer (5) is not integrally provided on the hot water outlet (13),
A tea strainer (5) is provided on the inner bottom surface (3) of the teapot body (1).

The means for providing the tea strainer (5) includes an area on an inner bottom surface (3) equidistant from the hot water opening (13) in the inner wall portion (2) of the teapot body (1) in the left and right directions. A flat tea strainer (5) having a large size and a large number of tea strainers (4) is provided vertically toward the upper opening (9) of the teapot body (1).

Further, the both edges (6, 6 ') and the lower side (7) in the width direction of the tea strainer (5) are respectively connected to the inner wall (2, 2).
2) and the inner bottom surface (3), and the upper side (8) is formed so as to be close to the lid lower surface (12).

[0008] The tea strainer body (5) constructed as described above
Is different from the conventional tea strainer provided on the hot water entrance (13),
Because the area is large, a large number of tea strainer holes (4) can be provided, so even when tea tea is poured into the tea strainer (5), the tea strainer hole (4) can be poured smoothly without any clogging. The tea strainer performance of the teapot can be significantly improved.

Embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a front view of a teapot main body (1) incorporating a tea strainer of the present invention. FIG. 2 shows the lid (1) of the teapot body (1) of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a plan view excluding 1), and in the embodiment shown in FIG.
Hot water outlet (1) that opens on the inner wall (2) of the teapot body (1)
A flat tea strainer (5) is provided vertically on the inner bottom surface (3), which is equidistant from left and right from 3), toward the upper opening (9).

FIG. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken along the line AA 'of FIG.
In the embodiment shown in the drawings, a flat tea strainer (5) is
It is provided vertically above the inner bottom surface (3) of the teapot body (1) toward the upper opening (9), and both widthwise edges (6, 6 ') and the lower side (7) of the tea strainer (5). Is fixed on the inner wall portion (2, 2) and the inner bottom surface (3) of the teapot body (1), respectively. Further, the upper side portion (8) of the tea strainer (5) is formed so as to be close to the lower surface (12) of the lid.

In another embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the tea strainer (5) of the teapot is provided not in the shape of a flat plate but in a curved shape in the width direction of the left and right sides. Road (1
4) also has a semi-tubular hot water passage, not a cylindrical one,
You can do either.

[0012]

The present invention is embodied in the form described above and has the following effects.

The teapot of the present invention is not integrally provided with the tea strainer (5) and the hot water port (13), but is provided at the upper opening (9) from the inner bottom surface (2) of the teapot body (1). Since the tea strainer (5) is provided fixed vertically, the area of the tea strainer (5) can be increased, whereby a large number of tea strainers (4) can be provided, so that the tea strainer performance of the teapot can be significantly improved.

Therefore, when the tea ceremony is poured from a teapot, even if the tea leaves are densely packed in the tea strainer (5), the tea strainer hole (4) does not become clogged. There is no danger of pouring, and pouring can be performed smoothly.

Further, in the present invention, since the tea strainer (5) is not integrally provided on the hot water port (13), the hot water port (13) is not provided.
The teapot is always open, and the teapot attached to both sides of the hot water passage (14) and the tea strainer (5) can be washed at any time, so that the teapot can always be kept clean and sanitary.

When the teapot is discarded after use of the teapot, the teapot has conventionally been discarded from the upper opening (9). However, the teapot is stuck on the upper opening protruding edge (10) and is difficult to discard.
However, the teapot of the present invention is interrupted by the tea strainer (5) provided on the inner bottom surface (3), and the tea porcelain (13)
If the tea leaves are discarded using the tea strainer (5), the tea leaves will not be caught by the upper opening protruding edge (10).
It can be easily thrown away, greatly reducing the number of cleaning operations.
