Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a device for leaching drip coffee outdoors or while traveling, a plurality of protrusions are formed on the inner peripheral wall of a cup body with a width slightly from the upper edge to form a drip having substantially the same shape as the cup body. The hot water hole formed on the lower surface of the container is closed with a hot water-permeable membrane, and a long groove is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the drip container at a position corresponding to the protruding portion of the cup body. The diameter of the drip container was made smaller than the outer diameter of the lower surface, and the entirety of the drip container was inserted into the cup body by inserting a protruding portion into each of the long grooves, and granular coffee, sugar and milk separately packed were stored inside the drip container. A cup with a dripper is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 5-20220.

The dripper-equipped cup has a coffee dripper, a cup, and coffee set therein, so that it is convenient to carry, and since it can be disposable after use, it is easy to enjoy full-scale coffee outdoors. be able to. However, this has a drawback that the cost is high because the drip container and the cup body are subjected to complicated processing. Also, when extracting coffee, the drip container had to be set in a cup, and then the granular coffee had to be poured into the drip container.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a coffee set having a simple structure and capable of easily adding drip coffee without complicated operations.

[0005]

The coffee set according to the present invention comprises a frustum-shaped cup having an upper end larger in diameter than a lower end, and a frustum-shaped drip case having upper and lower ends open. A filter paper is attached so as to cover the small-diameter end face of the drip case, the large-diameter end face is closed with a removable lid, and powdery or granular coffee is stored inside the drip case. A flange having a diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter slightly below the upper end of the cup is protruded from the upper end of the cup, and the drip case is housed in the cup so that the large-diameter end face thereof can face downward.

In use, the drip case is taken out of the cup and turned upside down. When the large-diameter end face is turned up and the small-diameter end face is inserted into the cup, the flange is caught on the inner surface of the cup, and the drip case is placed on the cup. Locked at a position slightly below the upper end. Next, the lid of the drip case is peeled off, and hot water is poured over the powdered coffee housed inside. By supporting the drip case by hooking the flange to the inner surface of the cup, no special processing is required for the cup, and the flange can be simply attached to the drip case.

[0007] A plurality of notches may be formed in the outer peripheral portion of the flange. The notch serves as a fingerhold when pulling out the drip case, and when coffee is extracted, air flows through the notch, so that a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cup does not occur, the flange deforms at the notch, and the flange and the cup Dimensional errors are absorbed, and the drip case can be easily attached and detached. Sugar and / or milk can be stored in the cup and can be seasoned as desired.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, a coffee set 1 has a truncated conical cup 2 having an upper end larger in diameter than a lower end, and a detachable outer lid 3 for closing an upper end surface of the cup 2.
And a frusto-conical drip case 4 whose upper and lower end faces are open. The cup 2 is made of paper or plastic and has substantially the same configuration as a conventionally known disposable cup. Further, the cup 2 is sealed by covering the upper end surface of the cup 2 with an outer lid 3 made of transparent plastic or the like.

As shown in FIG. 1, a drip case 4
Has a cylindrical side wall 5 made of paper or plastic, the diameter of a large-diameter end surface thereof is formed to be substantially equal to the inner diameter of a substantially central portion of the cup 2, and the height thereof is set at the central Is formed slightly smaller than the height from the top to the upper end. A filter paper 6 is attached so as to cover the inner peripheral surface and the small-diameter end surface of the side wall 5 of the drip case 4, and the large-diameter end surface of the side wall 5 is closed by a removable lid 7 made of a plastic film or the like. Further, inside the drip case 4, a cup of the powdered coffee 8 which is appropriately ground is stored.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a flange 9 is protruded near the outer peripheral small-diameter end face of the side wall 5 of the drip case 4, and a plurality of (four in the example shown in FIG. ) Notch 10 is formed. The outer diameter of the flange 9 is substantially the same as the inner diameter slightly below the upper end of the cup 2, and when the drip case 4 is inserted into the cup 2, the outer peripheral edge of the flange 9 becomes They are caught and prevent further entry.
The notch 10 of the flange 9 not only serves as a fingerhold when removing the drip case 4 as described later,
It also functions as an air vent hole to prevent a pressure difference between the inside of the cup 2 and the outside air. In addition, the notch 10 absorbs a dimensional error due to distortion or the like of the cup 2 and the flange 9, thereby facilitating attachment and detachment of the drip case 4 to and from the cup 2.

When the coffee set 1 is not used,
As shown in FIG. 1, the drip case 4 is housed in the cup 2 with the large-diameter end face facing down so as to be able to be taken out, and the upper end surface of the cup 2 is sealed with the outer lid 3. At this time,
The drip case 4 is supported by the large-diameter end surface and the flange 9 hooked on the inner surface of the cup 2, and is completely immersed inside the cup 2. In addition, below the drip case 4, inside the cup 2, sugar 11 packed in a bag,
The milk 12 and the mudler 13 stored in the container are stored. In addition, the milk mentioned here includes a cream manufactured from milk fat and a substitute cream manufactured from vegetable oil and fat.

When coffee is extracted, the outer lid 3 is removed and the drip case 4, sugar 11, milk 12, and muddle 13 are taken out of the cup 2, and as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the drip case 4 is removed. Turn it upside down (large-diameter end face up) and insert the small-diameter end face side into cup 2. Then, the flange 9 is hooked on the inner surface slightly below the upper end of the cup 2, and the drip case 4 is locked with most of the drip case 4 exposed outside the cup 2. Then
The lid 7 of the drip case 4 is peeled off, and the powdered coffee 8
Pour a cup of boiling water from above to extract the coffee liquid.

If all the hot water falls into the cup 2 and the drip case 4 is pulled out, the coffee liquid in the cup 2 is obtained. Further, if necessary, the sugar 11 and the milk 12 taken out earlier are added, and the mixture is stirred with the mudler 13. As described above, the individually packaged sugar 1
If the milk 1 and the milk 12 are stored in the cup 2, it is convenient because the flavor can be tasted as desired. However, it is also possible to store the unpacked sugar and powdered milk in the cup 2 in a mixed state. Further, the number of the notches 10 formed in the flange 9 may be appropriately changed.

[0014]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a full-fledged drip can be obtained simply by removing the drip case from the cup, inverting the drip case, inserting the small-diameter end face into the cup again, and pouring hot water on the powdered coffee. You can easily put coffee. In addition, there is no need to perform complicated processing on the cup and the drip case. In particular, since the cup can be a standard product as it is, the cost can be reduced.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the notch of the flange serves as a fingerhold when the grip case is taken out, and the grip case is deformed at the notch to reduce the dimensional error between the cup and the flange. The absorption makes it easy to attach and detach the grip case to and from the cup. In addition, since the air flows through the notch, there is no pressure difference between the inside and outside of the cup, and therefore, the coffee liquid can be extracted smoothly. According to the invention according to claim 3, the finished coffee can be seasoned with sugar or milk.
