One Example of the drink container of this invention and the usage method of the drink container are described with reference to drawings.
In FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 9, A is a container for drinks, and as shown in FIG. 2, the container A for drinks has opened the upper part and has the main body 1 which has the accommodating part 1a which accommodates the liquid, and the said main body 1 It is attached by screwing with the part on the opened side, and the upper part is opened, and has a recess 2a for storing beverage extraction materials (for example, tea leaves, tea, herbal tea, etc.), and the bottom of this recess 2a A filter body (filter) 2 having a plurality of openings 2b and a lid body that is attached by screwing the open portion above the filter body 2 and opens and closes the open portion above the filter body 2 3.
The main body 1, the filter body 2, and the lid body 3 are formed of, for example, a synthetic resin.
2 is a first seal member that seals between the filter body 2 and the main body 1, and 5 is a second seal member that seals between the lid body 3 and the filter body 2. is there. The first seal member 4 and the second seal member 5 are molded from, for example, silicon rubber.

In the beverage container A described above, since the main body 1 and the filter body 2 are attached by screwing, the main body 1 and the filter body 2 can be separated from each other, and beverage extraction raw materials (for example, tea leaves), liquid Depending on the temperature (for example, winter and summer when the liquid is water), for example, in the summer, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. , So that beverage extraction raw materials can always be extracted into water.
In the case of drinking, the lid 3 can be removed from the filter body 2 and drink from the part where the upper part of the filter body 2 is opened. At this time, the plurality of openings 2b provided in the filter body 2 function as a filter. Therefore, the remaining beverage extraction ingredients can be left in the main body 1.

In winter, as shown in FIGS. 5 to 9, the tea leaves are not put into the main body 1, the tea leaves are put into the recess 2 a of the filter body 2, and hot water is put into the main body 1 without going through the filter body 2. After injection, the main body 1 and the filter body 2, and the filter body 2 and the lid body 3 are attached by screwing and integrated. (Depending on the case, hot water may be passed from above the filter body 2 containing the tea leaves, and the extract may be put into the main body 1).
When it is desired to increase the concentration of the extract, as shown in FIG. 7, the bottom of the main body 1 faces upward, or although not shown, the main body 1, the filter body 2 and the lid 3 are integrated. The beverage container A is swung. Even if rocked, the filter body 2 and the main body 1 are sealed by the first seal member 4, and the lid body 3 and the filter body 2 are sealed by the second seal member 5.
In the case of drinking, the filter body 2 is removed from the main body 1, and as shown in FIG. 9, the upper part of the main body 1 can be drunk from the open portion. At that time, the filter body 2 is integrated with the filter body 2 by screwing. If the upper surface of the lid 3 is placed on a placement surface (not shown), leakage of liquid from the filter body 2 can also be prevented.
In addition, in the state in which the extraction raw material for drinks was put into the recess 2a of the filter body 2, it is in a standing state so that the site | part which the upper part of the main body 1 opened in the main body 1 is located upwards. However, the state where it was put to the position which does not contact the said extraction raw material for drinks put into the recess 2a of the filter body 2 is desirable.

As described above, in the beverage container A described above, the beverage extraction material can be selectively placed in the main body 1 or in the filter body 2, and the filter body 2 and the main body 1 can be selected. Is the first seal member 4, the lid 3 and the filter body 2 are sealed by the second seal member 5, respectively, and therefore can be prevented from leaking. Can be separated into the main body 1, the filter body 2, and the lid body 3, so that each member can be easily cleaned, the beverage container A can be kept clean, and a convenient beverage container A is obtained. be able to.
In addition, in the usage method of a drink container, the immersion time of the drink extraction raw material can be selectively performed in the body 1 or the filter body 2 in the body 1 or the filter body 2 as described above. When it is desired to take a large amount, the beverage extraction raw material is put in the main body 1 together with the liquid, and when it is desired to reduce the immersion time of the beverage extraction raw material, the beverage extraction raw material is not put in the main body 1 and the filter 2 The beverage extraction raw material is placed in the recess 2a, and the liquid can be injected into the main body 1 through the filter body 2.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the cover body side protrusion part 3A which protrudes in the filter body 2 side of the cover body 3 is provided, and the cover body side external thread 3B is provided in the outer periphery of this cover body side protrusion part 3A. The lid body side male screw 3 </ b> B is screwed into a filter body side female screw 2 </ b> A provided on the inner wall of the filter body 2.
In addition, it is preferable that at least the dimension of H (for example, 5 mm or more) from the front end of the filter body 2 is not provided on the inner wall of the filter body 2 with the female thread of the filter body side female screw 2A. This is in order to prevent the lips from coming into contact with the female screw threads when the lid 3 is removed from the filter body 2 and the upper part of the filter body 2 is taken from the open portion, thereby preventing a sense of discomfort.
Moreover, as shown in FIG.6 and FIG.7, the recessed part 3C is formed in the side which faces the filter body 2 of 3 A of cover body side protrusion parts. Due to the recesses formed in the recesses 3C and the filter body 2, a large space for brewing beverage extraction ingredients can be provided.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 4, the filter body side protrusion part 2B is provided so that it may protrude to the main body 1 side of the filter body 2, and the filter body side external thread 2C is provided in the outer periphery of this filter body side protrusion part 2B. .
The filter body side male screw 2 </ b> C is screwed into a main body side female screw 1 </ b> A provided on the inner wall of the main body 1.
In addition, it is preferable that at least the dimension of h (for example, 5 mm or more) from the front end of the main body 1 is not provided on the inner wall of the main body 1 with the female thread of the main body side female screw 1A. This is because when the filter body 2 is removed from the main body 1 and the lip does not come into contact with the female thread when drinking from a portion where the upper portion of the main body 1 is opened, as shown in FIG. It is.
Further, as shown in FIG. 6, a recess 2 </ b> D is formed on the side facing the main body 1 of the filter body side protruding portion 2 </ b> B. The recess 2D and the recess formed in the main body 1 allow a large space for storing the liquid.

The lid side male screw 3B is screwed to the filter side female screw 2A, but may be screwed to the main body side female screw 1A. This is because, when the filter body 2 is unnecessary, as shown in FIG. 8, the opening of the main body 1 is closed with the lid body 3 to obtain a compact beverage container A that is convenient to carry.
Further, although the bottom portion of the main body 1 described above is integrated, as shown in FIG. 10, the main body 1 and the bottom portion 11 of the main body 1 are attached by screwing so that the first gap is formed between the main body 1 and the bottom portion 11 of the main body 1. 3 may be sealed to facilitate cleaning of the inside of the main body 1 and keep cleanliness.
