Description

  The present invention relates to a pouring tool for pouring beer (including sparkling liquor) filled in barrels, cans, bottles and the like into drinking containers such as cups and mugs.

When drinking beer filled in cans, the required amount of beer is usually poured into a cup or mug for drinking.
At that time, bubbles are generated by gas saturation due to a temperature difference from the outside air or the like, or by agitation due to collision with an inner wall such as a cup or beer poured into the tip. At this time, bubbles with gas saturation have small bubbles, bubbles with stirring have large bubbles, and usually both bubbles are mixed.
This foam covers the beer liquid surface, suppresses the subsequent generation of beer foam, and exhibits a cooling effect, giving the beer a feeling of being over the throat. Further, the presence of foam prevents carbon dioxide in the beer from escaping into the air, and prevents the beer from directly contacting the air (oxygen).

However, the large foam worsens the mouthfeel, and when the foam duration is short, the foam disappears and the foam on the beer liquid disappears, the carbon dioxide in the beer escapes into the air and the beer directly Oxidation proceeds by touching the air, reducing the taste of beer.
For this reason, the technique of pouring the bubbles finely has been conventionally required for professional pourers, and is regarded as a craftsmanship. However, since amateurs do not have the technology, even amateurs can pour the bubbles finely through the unglazed ceramic surface (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
JP-A-6-345097 JP 2002-332052 A

The surface of the unglazed pottery contains air in the unglazed porcelain surface, and the beer poured into the surface of the unglazed pottery promotes the gasification of the saturated gas in the beer by the porous included air. A fine foam layer is formed on the surface of the beer in contact with the unglazed ceramic surface.
For this reason, beer is poured into a cup etc. in the state wrapped in the fine foam layer, the impact with a cup inner surface etc. is eased, and stirring will also be suppressed. In addition, since the beer poured with the fine foam layer immediately covers the liquid surface, the generation of large foam is suppressed, and a cream-like foam layer is formed on the beer liquid surface.
This creamy foam layer has a good mouthfeel, a long foam duration, and suppresses an increase in beer temperature. For this reason, you can enjoy delicious beer forever.

However, any conventional pouring tool having an inner surface of an unglazed earthenware is attached to a beer bottle (Patent Document 1) or a beer can (Patent Document 2).
The pourer attached to the beer bottle has a longer spout and tends to shift the aim of the cup etc. In addition, there are too many bubbles covering the beer liquid surface in the drinking container, so that it can be adjusted to an appropriate amount of foam It is very troublesome to remove and install the pouring tool. The pouring tool attached to the beer can has a complicated structure for attaching to the can, and it is difficult to match the pouring outlet of the can with the mouth of the pouring tool, and there is a risk that beer may accumulate between the pouring tool and the surface of the can. .

  This invention makes it a subject to provide the pouring tool which can be attached to drinking container side, such as a cup, in view of said situation.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention uses a coffee dripper as a reference to form the inner surface of a funnel-shaped cylinder with unglazed earthenware and pour beer into a drinking container through the unglazed earthenware surface. As the funnel shape, an inverted truncated cone shape such as an inverted truncated cone shape, a triangular shape, a quadrangular shape or the like can be considered.

In this way, beer is poured into the drinking container in a state of being wrapped in a fine foam layer by the action of the air contained in the porous surface of the unglazed earthenware mentioned above, A creamy foam layer is formed.
Moreover, since a cylinder is funnel shape, as long as the lower part of the cylinder is fitted in the opening part of a drinking container, it can be fitted without choosing the internal diameter of the opening part, and attachment property is also high.
Furthermore, the mode in which this cylinder is attached to a drinking container is similar to the use of a coffee dripper, and since the general public is accustomed to using a coffee dripper, there is no sense of incongruity and this pouring tool can be easily set in a drinking container. And can be used.
By the way, being able to attach and detach the pouring tool means that the pouring tool can be washed, and it is hygienic by preventing the occurrence of mold.

  As described above, the present invention is a drinking container while forming a creamy foam layer with a simple operation of being attached to the opening of a drinking container with a funnel-shaped pouring tool having an inner surface of an unglazed pottery even for an amateur. Can be poured into. For this reason, delicious beer can be enjoyed even in ordinary households.

  As an embodiment of the present invention, an inner surface of an inverted frustoconical or inverted truncated pyramid cylinder is formed of unglazed ceramics, and the cylinder is attached to the drinking container by fitting the lower part thereof into the opening of the drinking container. A configuration may be employed in which beer is poured into a cylinder and the beer is poured into the drinking container through the unglazed ceramic surface.

  In this configuration, if a cylinder is provided on the outer periphery of the lower part of the cylinder, and the cylinder is placed on the periphery of the opening of the container so that the cylinder is attached to the drinking container, the cylinder can be made small, and the design is improved. It also has an excellent shape. In addition, as long as the basket is placed on the opening of the drinking container, the pouring tool can be attached to the drinking container.

Also, normally, if beer falls in the form of foam, stirring is suppressed, but when the cylinder is attached to a drinking container, the lower end of the cylinder is located near (including when touching) the inner surface of the drinking container. If it does so, beer from this pouring tool will be poured into the drinking container along the inner surface, the impact of the beer on the inner surface of the drinking container will be reduced, and stirring will be suppressed. For this reason, generation | occurrence | production of a big foam is suppressed reliably and a cream-like foam layer is smoothly formed in the beer liquid surface.

Here, the unglazed earthenware is fired at about 750 to 910 ° C., and the surface thereof is porous as described above, and is not attractive. For this reason, for those who do not like the unglazed surface, the outer surface of the cylinder should be finished with a glaze. At this time, a glaze with a firing temperature that can maintain the unglazed surface of the inner surface of the cylindrical body is used. For example, most of the glazes usually have a firing temperature of 1000 ° C. or higher, but a special glaze that can be used at about 900 ° C. that can maintain the unglazed surface is used.
In addition, by fitting a cylindrical unglazed pottery along the inner surface of the cylinder to form an unglazed pottery surface on the inner surface of the cylinder, any material such as plastic, glass, metal, etc. can be used for the cylinder. Can use porcelain.

  FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show an embodiment. In this embodiment, the entire pouring tool 10 is an unglazed pottery, and the cylindrical body 11 has an inverted conical shape and has a gutter 12 around its lower part. ing. Further, a handle 13 is provided at the upper surface opening of the cylinder 11, and as shown in FIG. 1, the pouring tool 10 is attached to the opening of a beer glass (mug) 20 serving as a drinking container as shown in FIG. . At this time, the cup 21 is attached as shown in FIG.

In this attached state, as shown in FIG. 1, when beer b is poured from the beer bottle 30 or the beer can 31 onto the pouring tool 10, the beer b passes along the unglazed ceramic surface 14 on the inner surface of the cylinder 11 and is mug 20. Poured into.
At this time, since the unglazed earthenware surface 14 contains air in the unglazed porcelain porous surface, the beer b poured into the unglazed earthenware surface 14 is filled with the saturated gas in the beer b by the porous encapsulated air. Gasification is promoted, and a fine foam layer is instantaneously formed on the contact surface with the unglazed ceramic surface 14 of beer.

For this reason, the beer b is poured into the mug 20 in a state of being wrapped in the fine foam layer, the impact with the inner surface of the mug 20 is softened, and stirring is also suppressed. Moreover, since the beer b poured with the fine foam layer immediately covers the liquid surface, the generation of large foam is suppressed, and the beer liquid surface is mostly covered with the cream-like foam layer.
At this time, in the state where the eighth layer of the mug 20 is occupied by the foam layer, the pouring tool 10 is removed, and thereafter, when the beer b is poured so as to contact the inner surface of the mug 20 as usual, the foam layer is just : Beer b liquid layer = 3: 7 is the most ideal balance state.
The beer b poured in this way is covered with a creamy foam layer, has a good taste and is always delicious.

  FIG. 4 shows another embodiment. In this embodiment, the unglazed earthenware surface 14 is formed of an unglazed earthenware, and the shell, that is, the outer side portion 11a of the cylindrical body 11 is formed of plastic. Similarly, the pouring tool 10 can be eaten deliciously by pouring the beer b into the mug 20 or the like. Although the unglazed pottery 14 may be fixed to the outer cylindrical body portion 11a by adhesion or the like, if it is detachable, it can be cleaned and is hygienic.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the rod 12 is omitted, and the cylinder 11 is constituted by the unglazed pottery itself shown in FIG. 4. The pouring tool 10 can be used as the beer pouring tool 10 of the drinking container as long as it fits into the opening without falling into the drinking container (the mug 20, the cup 21). Similarly, the beer b is used as the drinking container. By pouring, you can eat deliciously.

  In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, when the pouring tool 10 is attached to the drinking containers 20 and 21, the lower end of the cylindrical body 11 touches the inner surface of the drinking container. When the beer b is poured into the drinking container from the pouring tool 10, the beer b is poured along the inner surface of the container as indicated by an arrow. For this reason, the impact of the beer b with the inner surface of the drinking container is reduced, stirring is also suppressed, the generation of large bubbles is suppressed, and a creamy foam layer is smoothly formed on the beer liquid surface.

  By the way, in unglazed earthenware baked at 800-900 ° C with soil mixed with appropriate red and white clay from Shigaraki district for 5 minutes and 5 minutes, a creamy foam layer was smoothly formed on the beer liquid surface. . Moreover, the formation of a cream-like foam layer was more effective for “Happoshu”, which is generally referred to, in terms of viscosity than ordinary “beer”.
