It is characterized in that it is formed in the shape provided.

According to the shaker of the present invention, the packing member divides the liquid storage space and the liquid stirring space, and also serves as the stirring member formed with a through hole through which the liquid flows between the liquid storage space and the liquid stirring space. By doing so, the shaker can be composed of three members, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced by reducing the number of parts.
In addition, the packing member that also serves as the stirring member is formed by fitting the outer peripheral edge of the packing member to the undercut portion formed on the inner surface of the lid so as to be separated from the lid. , The water tightness of the shaker can be maintained and liquid leakage during stirring can be prevented, and the container body can be completely opened when the lid is opened, and the prepared food and drink can be easily taken out. After use, cleaning can be easily performed by separating the packing member from the lid.

  In addition, a through-hole is formed at least in the central part of the packing member, and the inner peripheral edge of the through-hole is formed in a shape having a recess cut in the radial direction. It is possible to increase the stirring efficiency by elongating the length of the solid and to dissolve (or disperse) the solid content that is difficult to dissolve in the liquid in a short time by efficiently stirring the solid.

One Example of the shaker of this invention is shown, (a) is a front view, (b) is sectional drawing of the principal part. It is explanatory drawing which shows embodiment of a packing member. It is explanatory drawing which shows embodiment of a packing member.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the shaker of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 to 2 show an embodiment of the shaker of the present invention.
This shaker is used to prepare food and drink by stirring liquid and solid content, and includes a container body 1 constituting a liquid storage space 11, a lid 2 constituting a liquid stirring space 21, From the packing member 3 that maintains the watertightness between the container body 1 and the lid 2 by being sandwiched between the upper edge 12 of the container body 1 and the step portion 22 formed on the inner surface of the lid 2. Become.

  The packing member 3 divides the liquid storage space 11 and the liquid stirring space 21, and is formed with a through hole 31 through which the liquid flows between the liquid storage space 11 and the liquid stirring space 21. An undercut portion 23 formed on the inner surface of the lid 2 by the outer peripheral edge 32 of the member 3 (here, the undercut portion 23 is constituted by a concave groove between the step portion 22 and the packing member retaining protrusion 24. ) So that it is separable from the lid 2.

  In this case, the size of the liquid storage space 11 of the container main body 1 is a size corresponding to the amount of food and drink to be prepared, specifically about 110 to 150% of the amount of food and drink to be prepared. It is desirable to do.

  Moreover, the magnitude | size of the liquid stirring space 21 of the lid | cover 2 can be made into the magnitude | size according to the quantity of the food / beverage to prepare, specifically about 30 to 80% of the quantity of the food / beverage to prepare. desirable.

The container main body 1 and the lid 2 are connected to each other via a packing member 3 so as to be able to quickly perform the attaching / detaching operation of the lid 2 in the present embodiment. 25, and 25), and are fixed and integrated by any fixing means such as fitting means, so that the watertightness between the container body 1 and the lid 2 is maintained.
Here, in order to improve watertightness, a ring-shaped thin protrusion (contact ring) can be formed on the step portion 22 formed on the inner surface of the lid 2 with which the packing member 3 abuts.

  The packing member 3 maintains the water tightness of the shaker to prevent liquid leakage during stirring, and the packing member 3 can be easily attached to and detached from the lid 2 with a relatively soft flexible material such as polyethylene resin. For example, various soft synthetic resins such as polyolefin resins such as silicone resins, thermosetting resin elastomers and foams, or blends of these synthetic resins can be suitably used.

As shown in FIG. 2, the packing member 3 is formed in a dish shape with a raised peripheral edge, and has a through hole 31 through which liquid flows between the liquid storage space 11 and the liquid stirring space 21 in a rotationally symmetrical manner. To do.
In this case, it is preferable to form the upper surface of the packing member 3 so that the center side is low so that food and drink prepared on the packing member 3 do not remain.

The shape of the through hole 31 formed in the packing member 3 can be any shape as shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C, but the peripheral length of the inner periphery of the through hole 31 is increased. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) to 2 (b), a through hole 31 is formed at least in the center of the packing member 3, and the inner periphery of the through hole 31 is directed in the radial direction. It is preferable to form in the shape provided with the recessed part cut | disconnected.
In this way, by increasing the peripheral length of the inner peripheral edge of the through-hole 31, the stirring efficiency is increased, and solids that are difficult to dissolve in the liquid (for example, powdery or granular supplements) are converted into liquid (for example, , Milk, etc.) can be dissolved (or dispersed) reliably in a short time.
As shown in FIG. 3, the packing member 3 is formed in a three-dimensional dish shape having a peripheral portion and a step, and is rotationally symmetrical and has a liquid storage space 11 and a liquid on the rising surface. It is also possible to form a through hole 31 through which liquid flows between the stirring space 21.

  The total area of the through-holes 31 formed in the packing member 3 is determined in consideration of the flow resistance of the liquid. (If the flow resistance is too large, the flow of the liquid is hindered and the stirring efficiency is lowered. If it is too small, the liquid flows without stirring and the stirring efficiency is reduced.), About 25% to 60%, preferably about 30% to 50% with respect to the opening area of the container body 1 (here, 2 (a): 45%, FIG. 2 (b) 55%, FIG. 2 (c) 35%).

The shaker of the present embodiment having the above configuration has the following effects.
(1) The shaker can be composed of three members, that is, the container body 1, the lid 2, and the packing member 3 that also serves as a stirring member, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced by reducing the number of parts.
(2) The stirring member is formed by fitting the outer peripheral edge 32 of the packing member 3 to the undercut portion 23 formed on the inner surface of the lid 2 so as to be separated from the lid 2. The packing member 3 that also serves as a container can maintain the water-tightness of the shaker and prevent liquid leakage during stirring, and when the lid 2 is opened, the container body 1 is completely opened and the prepared food and drink is taken out. In addition, after use, the packing member 3 can be separated from the lid 2 for easy cleaning.
(3) Increasing the stirring efficiency by increasing the peripheral length of the inner peripheral edge of the through hole 31 and dissolving (or dispersing) solids that are difficult to dissolve in the liquid in a short time by efficiently stirring the liquid. can do.

  As mentioned above, although the shaker of this invention was demonstrated based on the Example, this invention is not limited to the structure described in the said Example, The structure is suitably changed in the range which does not deviate from the meaning. It is something that can be done.
