Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a liquor container made of bamboo, and more particularly, to heating or cooling the liquor contained therein to maintain the liquor at a predetermined temperature and to impart a unique scent possessed by the container. Related to containers that can be enjoyed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a means for cooling or warming a drink, it is customary to put the whole container in a refrigerator or soak it in hot water. However, for drinks with many brands, such as sake, conventionally, this is carried out at 10 ° C.
When trying to provide to customers by keeping the temperature around low,
It was necessary to cool down the brands of alcohol that customers wanted to drink by the number of customers. Therefore, in order to satisfy customer requirements, a large refrigerator is required, a large area is required for the kitchen, and a large amount of power is consumed.

In addition, drinks with fermentation such as sake and wine are transported in large containers such as barrels and bottles so that the taste and flavor of the drinks are not impaired, and then divided into small containers before drinking. Drinks and ways of cooling or heating to serve a customer quickly are also common. And as a tool used for such purposes, for drinks to be warmed, attach a heating wire to the drink container, heat the liquor to a certain temperature using bimetallic or other sensors, do not warm or cool Containers that can be kept warm are known.

Conversely, for a drink to be cooled and cooled, a concave portion 93 which is depressed inward is provided in a side wall 91 of a glass wine container 90 as shown in a wine cooler shown in FIG. By placing ice 94 in the recess 93, the neck 9
There is known one in which the wine 95 poured into the container 90 from the second is cooled.

[0005]

However, the conventional drink container simply heats or cools the drink, and cannot add personal tastes and other tastes to the drink.

[0006]

An object of the present invention is to use natural bamboo having three node walls as a material, and to fill one of two spaces formed by the node walls with a heat insulating material, and to fill the other space with the heat insulating material. This problem can be solved by providing a spout that communicates with the atmosphere in the other node wall forming the space. Here, it is preferable to form a pouring gutter outside the node wall provided with the spout, leaving a node wall having an obliquely cut end.

[0007]

The interior of the container is divided into two upper and lower spaces by natural node walls. The lower space is filled with a heat insulating material, and the upper space isolated from the space filled with the heat insulating material via a node wall becomes a container for sake. While the temperature of the sake contained in the upper space is different from that of the lower heat insulating material, the heat is taken away or given by the heat insulating material and is maintained at a predetermined temperature. When the container is tilted to take out the liquor, the liquor coming out of the spout is once supported at the obliquely cut end and guided by it to be taken out.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below. 1 and 2, reference numeral 10 denotes a bamboo liquor container according to the present invention. The bamboo liquor container 10 is, more specifically, sake liquor. The bamboo liquor container 10 is made of natural bamboo, preferably green bamboo. The bamboo liquor container 10 has three node walls, an upper node wall 11, a middle node wall 12, and a lower node wall 13, and two internode cylinders are provided between the respective node walls 11, 12, and 13. Lower space 20 surrounded by 15 and 16
And an upper space 30 are formed.

The lower space 20 has a through hole 21 provided in the lower node wall 13.
To the atmosphere through a lid 2 such as a cork stopper
It is closed by two. Water inside the lower space 20;
Ethylene glycol and other heat insulating materials 23 are filled. Therefore, when the bamboo liquor container 10 is cooled in a refrigerator or is immersed in hot water and heated, the heat retaining material 23 keeps the bamboo liquor container 10 at that temperature.

The upper space 30 includes a spout 3 provided in the upper section wall 11.
It is open to the atmosphere through 1. Further, the internode tube 17 is extended upward from the upper node wall 11 and cut obliquely from the middle thereof to form a pouring gutter 32. The spout 31 is formed in the upper section wall 11 along the wall on the sharp side of the spout 32.

According to the above embodiment, since the bamboo liquor container 10 is filled with the heat insulating material 23 in the lower space 20, the bamboo liquor container 10 is placed in a refrigerator and the heat insulating material 23 is cooled. Alternatively, if the sake is poured into the upper space 30 after filling the heat insulation material 23 cooled in advance, the sake is
The heat is absorbed by the heat retaining material 23 through the heat sink, and becomes cold over time. Therefore, various types of sake can be simultaneously cooled only by cooling the container 10 or the heat retaining material 23.

Further, if sake is put in the bamboo liquor container 10 and then put in a refrigerator and cooled together with the heat insulating material 23, even if the sake is placed in a room having a relatively high temperature, such as a banquet, it will be warmed for a long time. You don't have to. Furthermore, since the bamboo liquor container 10 is made of natural green bamboo, if sake is added to the container, the scent is transferred to the sake, giving the drinker a refreshing feeling.

When the sake D in the bamboo liquor container 10 is to be drunk, as shown in FIG. 4, the pouring gutter 32 is held up so as to be poured into a tray (not shown) such as a cup or a cup. Since the spout 31 is on the lower side, the sake D in the upper space 30 can be poured into the saucer without leaving it.

[0014]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the bamboo liquor container is cooled by the number of customers, and the sake desired by the customer is put into the container and provided. Power consumption can be reduced as well as the space in the kitchen can be reduced. further,
By refilling the heat insulating material, the cooling and heat retaining effect can be maintained. According to the invention of claim 2, when the bamboo liquor container is tilted and the inside sake is poured into the cup, the pouring gutter functions to pour the sake into the other.
The flow can be performed smoothly. If the spout of the bamboo liquor container is continuously opened on the lower surface of the pouring gutter, the position of the hole can be easily recognized. And so on.
