Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that, even when favorable beverage water is made by using a PET bottle, a paper bag of the regular size is too large, the kind of tea bags exclusive for the PET bottle is limited, and even when orange tea, green juice powder, cocoa, coffee or the like is made, the mouth size of tea bags is too small and throw-in of the beverage in the PET bottle is troublesome.SOLUTION: A container to be directly fitted to a mouth of a PET bottle is formed, and a large sealable lid is fitted to its upper end portion so that most kinds of tea bags can be thrown in. After the throw-in of the tea bags, the lid is closed to set the container in an upside-down state. Then, water drops from the PET bottle by the gravity to perform the extraction. After the extraction is completed, the PET bottle is again set upside down to allow the beverage water to drop into the PET bottle. When the container is detached, beverage water is completed. In addition, orange tea, green juice powder, cocoa or the like can be thrown in, and when a filter is equipped, tea leaves, coffee or the like can be thrown in.

Description

  The present invention relates to a plastic bottle.

  The number of natural water and pure water sold by PET bottles has been increasing in recent years. In addition, reuse such as putting water in a used empty plastic bottle and storing it in a refrigerator is also performed. When these waters are used as barley tea, rice cake, green tea, cocoa, etc., many of the plastic bottles have narrow mouths and narrow, making it difficult to put tea bags such as green tea and barley tea in and out of the plastic bottles. .

Patent Document 1 discloses a tea bag that is longer than the mouth of a PET bottle as an improvement measure.

JP 2003-246365 A

  When we wanted to make barley tea or green tea from water using plastic bottles, we could only use products whose tea bags were designed specifically for plastic bottles. Therefore, options such as the type of product are limited.

  When trying to make beverages with a lot of solids such as yuzu tea, honey lemon, green juice, and cocoa using plastic bottles, it was cumbersome to put in because the mouth of the plastic bottle was narrow.

  The present invention solves the above problem by connecting a bottle having a structure similar to that of a PET bottle to a drinking mouth and attaching a separate large mouth and its lid to the upper end thereof.

  The part connected to the plastic bottle is threaded with the same specifications as the plastic bottle, and it is firmly fixed by turning by hand, and the packing is processed to prevent water leakage.

The large lid attached to the upper end is threaded and packed, so that it can be capped sufficiently by hand and can prevent water leakage.
After connecting the PET bottle and the present invention, the lid at the upper end is opened, and a tea bag of barley tea or green tea that suits the taste is inserted from there and the lid is capped. In addition, honey, brown sugar, yuzu tea, cocoa, coffee, and other raw materials that have been difficult to input can be used.

A mesh can be fixed in the container of the present invention as necessary. As for the mesh, the one used to prevent the tea bag from moving toward the plastic bottle is a coarse one. When putting green tea or oolong tea leaves directly into a tea bag, or when installing them as a filter for coffee bean powder, use a very fine one. With this filter, it is possible to prevent tea leaves from being mixed into the PET bottle body.

The specifications of the screw caps on PET bottle lids are uniform to some extent in Japan, but lids with slightly different specifications are used for imported products such as Europe and the United States. An adapter for conversion is prepared as necessary so that the container of the present invention can be attached even if there is a difference in this specification.

  By using the container for a plastic bottle of the present invention, a tea bag not designed for a plastic bottle can be used. Barley tea, green tea, coffee, etc. can be freely selected and extracted regardless of the size of the tea bag. In addition, PET bottles that were often used with cold water in the past can be used to extract beverages such as hot coffee, hot green tea, and hot lemon from the hot water state. Therefore, warm natural water, warm pure water, etc. can be sold in the corner of warm drinks such as convenience stores.

By using the container of the present invention, raw materials that have conventionally been troublesome such as yuzu tea, cocoa, green juice, honey, and lemon peel can be easily added.

By attaching a disk-shaped filter to the inside of the container of the present invention, raw materials that are not subdivided into tea bags, such as oolong tea, green tea, and coffee bean powder, can be charged. With this filter, tea leaves and drinking water are finally separated.

It is the figure which showed the external appearance of this invention container main body. (A) is the figure seen from diagonally below so that the screw thread of the part connected with a plastic bottle can be seen. (B) is the side view which showed that the cover of an upper end removed. It is the figure which showed that this invention container can be connected with a PET bottle. (A) shows before connection, (b) shows after connection. It is the figure which showed the conversion adapter which can be connected with the plastic bottle from which the size and specification of mouth differ in an overseas product. (A) shows before connection, (b) shows after connection. It is the example which set the tea bag using this invention container. In addition, powdered drinks and honey can be added. The figure which rotated 180 degree | times in the state which closed the lid | cover, and showed the extraction state of the tea bag. The upper water comes down by gravity. The figure which showed the state which rotated 180 degree | times again after completion of extraction, and the drinking water was completed. The upper water comes down by gravity. Complete by removing the container. (A) shows before removal, (b) shows after removal.

  Attach another container with a shape similar to a plastic bottle to the mouth of the plastic bottle, and attach a large lid to the top so that it can be opened and closed.

  FIG. 1 is an appearance of the container of the present invention. The lower part is threaded with the same specifications as the lid of the plastic bottle, and there is a packing structure behind it to prevent water leakage. The top is equipped with a large lid that can be easily opened and closed by turning it by hand. This lid also has a packing structure so that water leakage does not occur. The size of the container can be changed exclusively for use in a 500 ml PET bottle and in a 2000 ml PET bottle often found in natural water.

FIG. 2 shows a state where the container of the present invention is attached to a plastic bottle. While there is a continuous space inside the PET bottle, the container is completely sealed when the top lid is closed.

Fig. 3 shows a conversion adapter that can be attached to a mouth of a size different from the general Japanese specifications found in PET bottles such as natural water imported from overseas.

  FIG. 4 shows a specific method for extracting drinking water. Open the lid on the top, put the tea bag there, and cover it. At this time, if there is a possibility that the tea bag falls off, a filter with a coarse mesh is placed. If this filter is replaced with a finer one, tea leaves can be put into tea bags without being subdivided. Also, if the filter is removed, materials with high viscosity or a lot of ingredients such as yuzu tea, green juice powder, cocoa, and honey can be added. Finally, make sure that all solids corresponding to ingredients such as lemon peel and yuzu peel easily flow into the PET bottle. In addition, instead of a mesh filter, a special pack containing coffee bean powder can be fixed so that coffee can be extracted.

FIG. 5 shows the tea bag extraction stage. After the process of FIG. 4, the main body is turned upside down and rotated 180 degrees. At this time, the container main body of the present invention becomes a pedestal and becomes independent without falling down. As a result, the water in the plastic bottle descends due to gravity. The incoming water and tea bags are mixed and the extraction of ingredients begins. At this time, if hot water is contained in the PET bottle, warm drinking water can be generated. On the other hand, in the case of cold water, it can be put in the refrigerator in this state, or it can be tilted sideways and put in the refrigerator. By allowing it to sleep overnight, barley tea can be extracted even with cold water. In addition, in the case of materials with high viscosity or ingredients such as yuzu tea, green juice powder, cocoa, and honey, they will not mix if left alone in this state. Complete the agitation work, and if all the material is melted, it is complete. When a coarse filter is installed, water naturally flows in from the plastic bottle due to gravity, but when using a fine filter, air and water cannot pass through the filter, stopping the flow of water. Resulting in. In that case, the movement of water can be completed if the inflow of air and water is assisted by pinching the bottles by hand or squeezing them.

FIG. 6 shows an operation method after completion of drinking water. Rotate 180 degrees again so that the container of the present invention is on top and wait for all the drinking water to fall into the plastic bottle. When using a filter with a coarse mesh, all the water comes down by the natural force of gravity, but if the mesh is fine, it takes time or clogs the water, so you can pinch a plastic bottle. By performing operations such as squeezing and sending air up, drinking water will come down even with a fine filter. When all the drinking water has come down, the container of the present invention is removed and the drinking water is completed. If the lid originally attached to the plastic bottle is closed, it can be stored and carried.

Plastic bottles are widely used as very useful tools. Also, the sales market for natural water and pure water through water purifiers continues to expand, and even if you want to make your favorite drink using such water, general tea bags are PET bottles. It ’s not big in my mouth,
I had to buy a tea bag for PET bottles. Also, even if you wanted to make cocoa, green juice, yuzu tea, etc. in a plastic bottle, there was a situation that it was troublesome because of its small mouth. The present invention has a possibility of giving a high industrial effect to the natural water and tea bag markets as a tool that can use PET bottles to produce a large amount of drinking water. Traditionally, natural water has been sold as cold, but it is sold as warm natural water in the warm drink corner and sold together with the container of the present invention, tea bags, yuzu tea, cocoa, coffee extraction packs, etc. For example, it is possible to obtain a high industrial effect as it is possible to extract fresh drinking water.
