Description

  The present invention relates to a cocktail shaker used for stirring and mixing liquid drinks of different types or powders such as tea and various juices.

Traditionally, a cocktail shaker is used to make cocktails by adding liqueurs, fruit juice, ice pieces, etc. to Western liquors such as whiskey and brandy. This cocktail shaker is made of, for example, a container body that is made of metal and has a peripheral side wall that bulges outwardly like a drum body and has a circular cross-sectional plane, and a spout of the container body And a cap that covers the outside of the inner lid (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
Utility Model Registration No. 3069901 (page 4, FIG. 1)

  The cocktail shaker of Patent Document 1 is usually used when a bartender makes a liquor cocktail according to the customer's request in a bar such as a bar or cabaret. There are increasing cases of being used within. For example, to make a juice containing young barley leaves, water, ice pieces and young barley powder are shaken in a cocktail shaker, and the resulting cocktail is poured into a glass for drinking. In this case, children and adults who are not accustomed to shaking a cocktail shaker do not understand how to shake a cocktail well, and exclusively shake it.

  By the way, the cocktail shaker has a peripheral side wall that bulges outward like a drum drum, and its inner peripheral surface is also formed into an arc surface. Also, as described above, in the state where the powder of barley young leaves is put together with water and ice pieces as described above, the cocktail shaker is shaken along an almost arcuate path rather than being shaken mechanically and linearly. . For this reason, the cocktail inside tends to flow in the circumferential direction along the inner peripheral surface of the cocktail shaker. Therefore, when the cocktail flows along the entire circumferential direction, it seems as if the water and ice pieces are rotating together, and the mixing cannot be performed well or even if it is possible. The current situation is that you cannot use a cocktail shaker.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a cocktail shaker that can be mixed well without taking time even for an unfamiliar child or adult. Is.

  To achieve this object, a cocktail shaker according to the present invention comprises a container body and a lid that is detachably attached to the container body, and the inner peripheral side surface of the container body has a plurality of continuous flat surface groups. The connecting portions of the two flat surfaces adjacent to each other are shaped so as to be concave inside, and when the container body containing the liquid beverage is shaken, the liquid beverage along the flat surfaces by the connecting portions. The flow direction is changed.

  At this time, it is preferable that the container body and the lid body are molded by mixing a powder material that generates negative ions into the synthetic resin material.

  The cocktail shaker according to the present invention is composed of a plurality of flat surface groups in which the inner peripheral side surface of the container body is continuous, and the connecting portions of the two adjacent flat surfaces are formed so that the inner side is concave. Therefore, when the container main body containing the liquid beverage is shaken, the flow direction of the liquid beverage along each flat surface is changed at the connected portion, and the liquid beverage is stirred in a complicated manner. This has the effect that even an unfamiliar child or adult can make a cocktail that is successfully stirred and mixed in a short time.

  In addition, if the container body and the lid are molded by mixing a powder material that generates negative ions into a synthetic resin raw material, the negative ions act on the cocktail in the cocktail shaker to maintain the taste, There is an effect that you can always drink deliciously.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of a cocktail shaker according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a cocktail shaker, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal side view thereof. The cocktail shaker A is made of, for example, a synthetic resin material and is translucent. The cocktail shaker A includes a container body 1 and a lid 2 that is detachably attached to the container body 1.

  More specifically, the container body 1 has an opening 3 on the upper surface and a funnel shape as the side wall 1a advances downward, and 50 ml along the axial direction for weighing on one side of the outer peripheral surface. , 100 ml, 150 ml, and 200 ml are provided so that the scale 4 is raised.

  And the inner peripheral side surface of the said container main body 1 consists of several continuous flat surface 5 groups. In this case, each flat surface 5 is provided along the central axis of the container body 1, and the plane cross section of the flat surface 5 group is a regular hexagon. Of these, the connecting portions 6 of the two adjacent flat surfaces 5 and 5 are formed so that the inside is concave. In the present invention, the planar cross section may be another polygon such as a regular quadrangle, a regular pentagon, a regular heptagon, and a regular octagon as long as the effect of the present invention is obtained, and further satisfies the above condition. As long as other shapes are possible. On the outer peripheral surface of the upper end of the container main body 1, an annular convex portion 7 is projected.

  On the other hand, the lid body 2 has a shape in which the heel is turned upside down, and is provided with a cylindrical portion 8 that is open at the lower end surface and protrudes upward at the central upper end surface. A spout 9 is opened at the tip of the cylindrical portion 8, and a cap 10 that can be freely opened and closed is attached to the spout 9. Further, an annular concave portion 11 having the same contour in which the annular convex portion 7 is fitted is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the lower end of the lid body 2.

  The cocktail shaker A according to the present invention has the above-described configuration. For example, the lid 2 is removed, the opening 3 is opened, and a predetermined amount of chilled water W and ice I, which are liquid drinks, are placed in the container body 1, and barley is further contained therein. Add a predetermined amount of powder of young leaves. Then, the opening 3 is closed with the lid 2, and a cap 10 is attached to the spout 9. In this state, hold the cocktail shaker A with both hands and shake it up and down while pressing the lid 2 against the container body 1 and the cap 10 against the lid 2 closely. At this time, the water W and several ice pieces I in the cocktail shaker A reciprocate along the center line direction of the container body 1 and also move around the center line by the flat surfaces 5 on the inner periphery of the container body 1. To do.

  Therefore, the present invention comprises a group of a plurality of flat surfaces 5 and 5 in which the inner peripheral surface of the container body 1 is continuous, and the connecting portions 6 of the two adjacent flat surfaces 5 and 5 are formed so that the inside is concave. ing. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the flow direction of the water W moving along each flat surface 5 is changed at the connecting portion 6, and the water W is stirred in a complicated manner. Further, the ice pieces I hit each flat surface 5 while the cocktail shaker A is being shaken. The ice pieces I that have hit the flat surfaces 5 are slanted back in a certain direction with respect to the flat surfaces 5, and are also bounced in the other direction by hitting the other flat surfaces 5. In this way, the ice piece I is constantly rebounded by the flat surface 5 in an irregular direction, and hardly moves along the inner peripheral surface like an arc surface, thereby improving the stirring effect. . If the inner peripheral surface of the container body is formed into a circular arc surface, the ice pieces I move along the inner peripheral surface, and the water W easily moves along with this, so-called rotation occurs and stirs. The companion effect will fade.

  As described above, since a plurality of flat surfaces 5 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the container body 1, the water W and the ice pieces I are complicatedly stirred, so that children and adults who are not accustomed to it can use it. Even in such a case, it is possible to make a well-mixed cocktail in a short time. Further, since the annular convex portion 7 is firmly fitted in the annular concave portion 11, even if the cocktail shaker A is shaken, the internal water W does not leak from there. When the cocktail is completed, it is poured into a glass. When the ice piece I is not required, the cap 10 is removed with the lid 2 attached, and the cocktail with the ice piece I removed is poured out from the spout 9. Further, when the ice piece I is also required, the lid 2 is removed and a cocktail including the ice piece I is taken out from the opening 3.

  The cocktail shaker A of the present invention is molded from a synthetic resin material, but a powder material (not shown) that generates negative ions may be mixed with the synthetic resin material. As a powder substance that generates negative ions, there is a tourmaline which is a kind of natural ore and is also called tourmaline. This tourmaline has the property of emitting weak currents and far infrared rays in addition to negative ions.

  In the present invention, tourmaline is formed into fine particles. The mixing ratio of tourmaline with respect to the synthetic resin raw material is determined and appropriately selected, but is not particularly limited. However, even if a large amount of tourmaline is mixed with the synthetic resin raw material, the effect will be saturated, so the tourmaline content with respect to the synthetic resin raw material is preferably 5 to 10% by weight. As described above, by adding tourmaline to the cocktail shaker A, negative ions are generated from the tourmaline, and this acts on the cocktail in the cocktail shaker to maintain the umami so that the cocktail can be always enjoyed deliciously. Become.

  When the cocktail shaker A is formed of a metal such as stainless steel, a synthetic resin material in which fine tourmaline is mixed may be coated on the inner peripheral surface thereof. Of course, the cocktail shaker according to the present invention can be used to make any cocktail of Western liquor and various juices such as young barley leaves.
