DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Teapot A based on the present invention
As shown in FIG. 1, the teapot main body 10 and the lid 5
0.

Here, the teapot main body 10 has a container main body (main body) 15 and a handle 40, and the container main body 15 has a substantially bowl-like container shape. In the department,
A spout 17 is provided. The spout 17 is formed by projecting a part of the upper end of the container body 15 into a shape that is pointed outward. The cross section of the container body 15 is formed in a substantially circular shape.

An inner protruding portion 20 is provided on the inner periphery near the upper end of the container body 15. The inner protruding portion 20 is provided so as to protrude substantially in a plate shape from the inner wall of the teapot main body 10, and has a substantially ring shape as a whole as shown in FIGS. And has an arcuate portion 22 and a tea strainer 30.

The arc-shaped portions 22 have substantially the same width, and have a substantially fan-shaped ring shape. That is, the arc-shaped portion 22 has a substantially arc-shaped band shape. The arc-shaped portion 22 is provided for mounting the lid 50.

The tea strainer 30 is formed to be wider than the arc-shaped portion 22, and has substantially the same shape as that surrounded by the inner periphery K1 of the container body 15 and the straight line K2 as shown in FIG. It has a shape, that is, a substantially partial circular shape.
The tea strainer 30 is also formed in a substantially plate shape, and is provided with a plurality of holes 32 penetrating from the upper surface to the lower surface. The hole 32 is formed to have a size that allows passage of liquid, that is, tea, but does not allow tea leaves to pass. This tea strainer 30
Is provided such that the center position thereof corresponds to the center position of the spout 17.

The arc-shaped portion 2 forming the inner protruding portion 20
2 and the tea strainer 30 are formed integrally, and the inner protruding portion 20 is provided substantially parallel to the mounting surface of the teapot main body 10. The inner protruding portion 20 is provided at a position slightly lower than the upper end of the teapot main body 10 so that the lid portion 50 placed on the inner protruding portion 20 does not easily fall off. That is, in the container main body 15, the upper end protruding portion 16 protrudes upward from the inner protruding portion 20.

As described above, the inner protruding portion 20 functions as a lid receiver on which the lid portion 50 is placed as a whole, and the tea strainer 30 of the inner protruding portion 20
It will function as a tea strainer. That is, the tea strainer 30 is formed integrally with the lid receiver.

The handle 40 is provided with the teapot main body 10.
Is provided so as to protrude from the outer surface of the side surface. That is, when pouring tea or the like, the grip portion 40 is gripped and used. The lid 50 is configured to cover the container body 15 and has a shape and a size that can be freely attached and detached inside the upper end protruding portion 16 and on the inner protruding portion 20. I have.

The use state of the teapot A having the above configuration will be described. When using the teapot A, use it in the same way as a normal teapot.

That is, after the tea leaves are put in the container main body 15, hot water is poured into the container main body 15, and the container is covered with the lid 50. Then, after a predetermined time has elapsed, the user holds the handle 40 and pours from the spout 17. Then, the tea is poured from the spout 17 through the hole 32 of the tea strainer 30. At this time, the tea leaves are blocked by the holes 32 and remain in the container body 15.

When washing the teapot A after the tea is added, the teapot A is washed after discarding the tea leaves remaining in the container body 15. At that time, in the teapot of this embodiment, any part can be easily reached, so that no stain remains. In particular, since the front and back surfaces of the tea strainer 30 can be easily washed, the tea strainer can be easily washed. No dirt remains on the portion 30.

In the above description, a teapot has been described as an example.
Is applicable to tea pots other than teapots.

[0031]

According to the teapot based on the present invention, the tea strainer portion has a structure that is easy to wash. In particular, since the tea strainer can be washed from the front side and the back side, the tea strainer can be cleaned. Accumulation can be prevented.
