Description

[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a tea extractor capable of introducing negative ions into the body.
[0002]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the modern living environment, for example, the influence of exhaust gas from cars and the use of electrical appliances such as OA equipment such as personal computers, televisions, microwave ovens, and air conditioners oxidize nearby air, resulting in oxidation. Plus ions are increasing. It is known that living in an environment with many positive ions has various adverse effects on the human body.
[0003]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a tea extractor capable of easily taking in negative ions, which are considered to be good for the human body, into the body.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, an invention according to claim 1 has a container-shaped main body having an opening on an upper surface and a spout on a side surface, into which tea leaves and hot water can be put, and an upper surface of the main body. In the tea extractor having a lid mounted to open and close the opening, at least one of the inside of the main body and the inner surface of the lid, a negative ion generating member that generates negative ions It is characterized by being fixed.
[0005]
When tea is extracted using the tea extractor having the above-described configuration, negative ions generated from the negative ion generating member enter the extracted tea. By drinking the tea, negative ions that are considered good for the human body can be taken into the body. Further, in the above configuration, since the negative ion generating member is manufactured separately from the main body and the lid of the tea extractor and is provided to be fixed to them, for example, the main body and the lid of the tea extractor are manufactured. It can be manufactured more easily than mixing a negative ion generating member with clay or mixing a negative ion generating member with a glaze used when baking the body or lid of a tea extractor. .
[0006]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a ceramic teapot as a tea extractor will be described with reference to the drawings.
First, in FIGS. 1 and 2, the main body 1 of the teapot has a container shape having an opening 2 on an upper surface, and a spout 3 and a handle 4 are provided on a side surface so as to be integrated with the main body 1. Have been. A communication port 5 communicating with the spout 3 is formed in the main body 1. The spout 3 and the handle 4 are almost 90 degrees apart. A lid 6 for opening and closing the opening 2 is detachably mounted on the upper surface of the main body 1.
[0007]
Inside the main body 1, for example, a stainless steel strainer 7 is detachably attached so as to cover the communication port 5 from the inside. The tea strainer 7 has a circular shape, the upper end of which is brought into contact with the inner peripheral portion of the upper surface opening 2, and the lower end of which is engaged with the engaging projection 8 formed on the bottom 1 a of the main body 1. By doing so, it is attached so as to be in close contact with the inner surface of the main body 1.
[0008]
The negative ion generating member 10 is fixed to the upper surface of the bottom portion 1a in the inside of the main body 1. The negative ion generating member 10 is manufactured by mixing particles obtained by pulverizing kiyoseki, which generates a large amount of negative ions, with clay for pottery, and baking the mixture. As shown in FIG. It has a circular thin plate shape. In this case, the negative ion generating member 10 is formed by applying a transparent vitreous paint (flappice) used as a glaze between the negative ion generating member 10 and the bottom 1a of the main body 1 and baking it at about 720 ° C. It is fixed to the bottom 1 a of the main body 1. In addition, even if the negative ion generating member 10 is baked at about 720 ° C., the function of generating negative ions is not impaired.
[0009]
Now, in the above-described configuration, in order to extract tea, the lid 6 is covered with the tea leaves and hot water put inside the main body 1 and left for a while. Along with this, the tea extract is extracted, and the negative ions generated from the negative ion generating member 10 enter the tea (hot water). Then, the extracted tea is poured into the hot water or the like from the spout 3 and the tea is drunk, so that negative ions considered to be good for the human body can be taken into the body.
[0010]
Negative ions taken into the body travel around the whole body through the blood and, for example, have the effect of suppressing the oxidation of intracellular fat and the production of lactic acid (causing fatigue). Has the effect of activating the function of each cell, promoting the recovery of fatigue, and also improving the function of the autonomic nervous system, the function of the endocrine glands, and the balance of the whole body. It is said to be better.
[0011]
In the embodiment described above, the following effects can be obtained. That is, by drinking tea extracted using the tea extractor of the above embodiment, negative ions considered to be good for the human body can be easily taken into the body. Further, since the negative ion generating member 10 for generating negative ions is manufactured separately from the main body 1 and the lid 6 of the tea extractor and is provided fixed to the main body 1, for example, the main body of the tea extractor, It is easier to manufacture than to mix the negative ion generating member with clay when manufacturing the lid, or to mix the negative ion generating member with the glaze used when baking the tea extractor body or lid can do.
[0012]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, but can be modified or expanded as follows.
The tea extractor is not limited to a ceramic teapot, but may be a metal teapot, a clay pot, an iron kettle, or the like.
[0013]
The negative ion generating member 10 may be fixed to the inner surface of the cover 6 instead of being fixed to the inside of the main body 1, or may be fixed to both the inside of the main body 1 and the inner surface of the cover 6. Is also good.
In the negative ion generating member 10, tourmaline (tourmaline) may be used as a negative ion generating member instead of kiyoseki.
[0014]
【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the above description, according to the tea extractor of the present invention, by drinking tea extracted using the tea extractor, it is possible to easily take in negative ions that are considered to be good for the human body into the body. it can. In addition, since the negative ion generating member that generates negative ions is manufactured separately from the main body and the lid of the tea extractor and provided so as to be fixed to them, tea extraction having a function of generating negative ions is provided. The vessel can be manufactured easily.
