Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pot provided with a brewing cup in which ground coffee beans, black tea leaves and the like (hereinafter referred to as tea leaves) are put together with hot water and only hot water containing an extraction component is filtered through a filter. The purpose of the present invention is to reliably prevent the infusion cup from falling out of the pot body, which is a concern when the pot is tilted to pour out the contents.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A pot equipped with a brewing cup has been devised in various ways up to now in order to extract components from tea leaves and simply extract hot water containing the extracted components. As a prior document, Utility Model Registration No. 3016739 is referred to.

By the way, in this type of pot, the support of the infusion cup to the pot body is based on the engagement of an undercut at the mouth of the pot body.
Since the pot body is usually made of glass excluding the grip, the dimensional error between them is relatively large, and there is a problem that rattling with the brewing cup made of synthetic resin occurs. Therefore, when the pot is tilted and the contents are poured out, the infusion cup may fall out of the pot body.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to propose a novel pot in which the brewing cup does not easily slip out of the pot body when the pot is tilted to pour out the contents.

[0005]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a pot body having a gripped pot body and a brewing cup detachably supported together with a lid body at the mouth portion of the pot body, the brewing cup comprising: The pot is characterized in that a connecting mechanism is provided between the grip and the grip to prevent the infusion cup from falling off.

In the pot having the above structure, the connecting mechanism is composed of a groove portion integrally formed with the infusion cup or the grip and a convex portion integrally formed with the grip or the infusion cup and engaged by an undercut in the groove portion. Fits in an advantageous way.

It is desirable that the protrusions come into contact with each other at least at three points in the groove, and the lid is preferably held by a plurality of protrusions provided around the outer surface of the infusion cup with respect to the infusion cup.

The above-mentioned protrusions are ribs provided along the axis of the pot body.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 are views showing an example of the configuration of the pot according to the present invention.

In the figure, 1 is a pot main body made of glass, 2 is a grip for holding the pot main body 1, 3 is an infusion cup detachably supported at the mouth of the pot main body 1, and this infusion cup 3 is a bottom surface. Outer cup 3 with aperture K
Like a, the inner cup 3b has a bottom surface opening K '. Reference numeral 4 is a lid attached to the infusion cup 3.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a connecting mechanism for locking the brewing cup 3 on the grip 2. The connecting mechanism 5 prevents the brewing cup 3 from falling out when the pot is tilted to pour the contents into the container.

The connecting mechanism 5, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 3, shows an annular groove 5a integrally formed around the outer cup 3a of the brewing cup 3 and a protrusion 5 integrally formed on the grip 2.
In this example, the protrusion 5b is formed into a groove 5a when the brewing cup 3 is supported on the mouth of the pot body 1.
It fits in and is engaged by undercut. FIG. 4 shows the appearance of the tip portion of the grip 2.

In the figure, 6 is a filter slidably disposed in the inner cup 3b, and 7 is a spring disposed between the outer cup 3a and the inner cup 3b for urging them so as to separate them from each other. Elastic member, and 8
Is a valve element which is located between the bottom surface opening K of the outer cup 3a and the bottom surface opening K'of the inner cup 3b and controls the opening and closing of the bottom surface opening K'of the inner cup 3b.

In the pot shown in FIG. 1 above, the bottom surface opening K'of the inner cup 3b is closed by the valve body 8,
By adding tea leaves and hot water here, the components are leached from the tea leaves. Then, the knob 4a of the lid body 4 is pressed to insert the inner cup 3 through the rod 6a of the filter 6.
When b is pressed toward the bottom of the pot body 1, the inner cup 3b itself resists the elastic force of the elastic member 7, and the inner cup 3b itself moves.
To the bottom surface of the inner cup 3b, and at this time, the closing of the bottom surface opening K'of the inner cup 3b by the valve body 8 is released, and the inner cup 3b is released.
The tea water inside flows out to the pot body 1 through the bottom hole K of the outer cup 3a.

The tea water that has flowed out into the pot body 1 will be gripped by the grip 2 to tilt the pot body 1 in order to pour it into a container such as a cup. Therefore, it will not easily fall out of the pot body 1.

FIG. 5 shows a cross section taken along the line AA in FIG. By providing the projection 5b of the connecting mechanism 5 with a cross-sectional shape such that the projection 5b is in contact with at least three points in the groove 5a as shown, more stable engagement can be guided.

When the pot body 1 is tilted, the lid 4 may also fall off from the brewing cup 3, so that the lid 4 is surrounded by the outer surface of the brewing cup 3 (outer cup) as shown in FIG. A plurality of ribs r (about 6 places) are provided at intervals on the outer surface of 3a, and the lid 4 is held in the brewing cup 3 by the ribs r.

Connection Mechanism 5 In FIG. 1 above, the outer cup 3a is provided with an annular groove 5a, and the grip 2 is provided with a projection 5b.
Although the example in which the groove 5a is provided is shown, the groove 5a may be provided in the grip 2 and the protrusion 5b may be provided in the outer cup 3a, and this point is not particularly limited.

The pot body 1 is usually made of glass and the other parts are made of synthetic resin, but the material of the members is not limited in the present invention.

[0020]

According to the present invention, when the pot having the brewing cup is used, the brewing cup does not easily fall off from the pot body.
