2. Description of the Related Art As a drip filter for roasted coffee, one in which a bag-shaped non-woven fabric or paper filter is set in a funnel-shaped dedicated device is widely used. Cartridges made by enclosing roasted coffee powder in a non-woven container are used by mounting them on the bottom of a dedicated device, as well as disposable integrated cartridges that combine a water-resistant paper body with a filter. ing. Of these, the ones that use special equipment are filters and cartridges that are disposable, but the special equipment must be washed each time it is used, and since the special equipment may be bulky, it is especially convenient for outdoor use. There was a lack of point. Further, the water-resistant paper cartridge has a problem that the manufacturing cost is high because the structure is complicated and the number of processing steps is large.

Generally, in the case of making an integral type drip filter in which a main body and a filter are integrated, a cup-shaped main body having an extraction port formed on the bottom is manufactured. Then, a method of adhering a non-woven fabric or filter paper acting as a filter to the bottom of the main body so as to close the extraction port is used. Even in the cartridge containing the roasted coffee, the non-woven fabric container that contains the roasted coffee powder and performs the filter function and the main body portion that collects the hot water and flows it to the filter are separate members that are detachable as described above. In many cases, they are constructed and the two are bonded together by post-processing.

Vertical ribs extending in the expansion / contraction direction may be formed at intervals in the circumferential direction on the upper side wall or the lower side wall to be inverted. That is, in the wall portion to be inverted, the inner diameter side with a short circumference is arranged at the outer diameter side with a large circumference due to inversion at the time of molding, so wrinkles are likely to occur in the wall portion due to inversion. By providing a vertical rib extending in the expansion / contraction direction on the wall portion to be inverted, the wall portion to be inverted is provided with a slight elasticity in the circumferential direction to absorb wrinkles generated at the time of inversion, and It is possible to improve the appearance of the cartridge when the parts are inverted. In addition, it becomes possible to return the inverted wall surface to the original state more easily during use. The same effect can be obtained by forming the wall portion to be inverted so as to have a wave shape that oscillates in the radial direction along the circumferential direction.

The cartridge 1 is provided on the market by being wrapped with a barrier film or the like having a gas barrier property in order to retain the flavor of coffee. If multiple packages are packed and cannot be used up in a short period of time, the flavor will be lost if left unchecked.For storage of the remaining items, consider using cans, glass bottles, or barrier film sealed storage bags. Will be required. It is preferable that the packaging form is individually packaged so that no special consideration is required and that it can be easily carried and used outdoors or the like. However, if the cartridge 1 is individually packaged by pillow packaging or the like, the main body 2 for storing hot water becomes bulky, the distribution cost and the selling cost are high, and it is inconvenient to carry and extremely lacking in convenience. In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the present applicant folds and inverts the side wall portion 6 of the main body portion 2 at an intermediate portion in the height direction, and halves the height of the cartridge 1 to reduce the volume of the packaging form. Invented the following method.
