Each spring accommodating shaft portion 15a is inserted into the through hole 31a4 of each shaft accommodating portion 31a2 of the pressing member 31. A disc-shaped retaining portion 15b extending outward in the radial direction is formed on the distal end side of each spring accommodating shaft portion 15a. Since each retaining portion 15b abuts on the inner peripheral edge of the through hole 31a4 of each shaft accommodating portion 31a2, the spring accommodating shaft portion 15a is prevented from coming off from each shaft accommodating portion 31a2. On the outer periphery of the pair of spring accommodating shaft portions 15a, a pressing member spring 32, which is a coil spring, is provided. The pair of pressing member springs 32 urges the pressing member 31 toward the installation plate portion 12 via the shaft accommodating portions 31a2 by the respective elastic forces. The pair of pressing member springs 32 is set so that the pressing force of the pressing member 31 on the container 50 is larger than the pressing force of the container side pressing portion 14 b of the lever 14 on the container 50.

(Operation)
Next, an operation when the container 50 is inserted into the extractor body 10 will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 5 (c) and 5 (d), in a state where the container 50 is not installed in the extractor body 10, the pressing member 31 is moved toward the installation plate portion 12 by the elastic force of the pressing member spring 32. Located in an energized position. At this time, the distance between the contact portion 31 a 1 of the pressing member 31 and the installation plate portion 12 is smaller than the height of the container 50. In this state, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4A, the user inserts the container 50 into the container storage space 10a while holding the handle 51b. When the container 50 is inserted into the back side, as shown in FIG. 1, the outer bottom surface of the container 50 slides along the inclined surface 12a1 of the first convex portion 12a. At this time, the spout 51 c of the container 50 enters the valley 31 b of the pressing member 31. Further, at this time, the second convex portion 12 b of the installation plate portion 12 enters the second concave portion 51 e of the container 50. When the container 50 reaches a predetermined position, the upper end of the container main body 51 comes into contact with the inclined surface 31a3 of the pressing member 31 as shown in FIG. When the container 50 is further inserted into the rear side from this abutted state, the pressing member 31 is moved upward against the elastic force of the pressing member spring 32 as shown in FIG. Moving. Furthermore, the upper end of the container main body 51 comes into contact with the contact portion 31 a 1 of the pressing member 31 by inserting the container 50 into the back side. At this time, the two contact portions 31 a 1 press the upper end of the container main body 51 toward the installation plate portion 12 based on the elastic force of the pressing member spring 32. Therefore, the container 50 is positioned by the pressing member 31.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the lever 14 is opened from the valve closing position when the container side pressing portion 14 b is pressed against the outer side surface of the container 50 as the container 50 is inserted into the back side. The valve rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 2 against the elastic force of the first coil spring 14c toward the valve position. The valve member 17 rotates counterclockwise in FIG. 2 against the elastic force of the second coil spring 18 by being pushed by the dripper side pressing portion 14a of the lever 14 as the lever 14 rotates. Thereby, the plug part 17a of the valve member 17 is separated from the discharge port 16b, and the coffee in the dripper 16 is poured into the container 50 from the discharge port 16b.

(effect)
As mentioned above, according to one Embodiment described, there exist the following effects.

(1) The beverage extractor 1 includes a container 50 and an extractor body 10 that pours the beverage (coffee in this example) extracted into the installed container 50. The extractor body 10 includes a dripper 16 that generates coffee by pouring hot water in a state in which a beverage extraction raw material (coffee powder in this example) is accommodated, and a dripper when the container 50 is not installed in the extractor body 10. When the container 50 is placed in the extractor body 10 by being urged to a valve closing position that restricts the flow of beverage from the inside of the container 16 into the container 50, the container 50 is pushed by the container 50, thereby A lever 14 that rotates to a valve-opening position that allows the beverage to flow, and a pressing member 31 that holds the container 50 in a position (inside the container storage space 10a) from which the beverage is poured from the extractor body 10. .
According to this configuration, when the container 50 is installed in the extractor main body 10, the container 50 is pressed by the pressing member 31, thereby suppressing the container 50 from being moved by being pushed by the lever 14.
Further, the pressing member 31 is provided not in the container 50 but in the extractor body 10. For this reason, even if it is a case where the pressing member 31 is newly provided in the drink extractor 1, the design change of the container 50 according to it is unnecessary. Therefore, the container 50 can be maintained in a simple configuration.

(2) The extractor body 10 includes an installation plate portion 12 on which the bottom surface of the container 50 is installed. A first recess 51d is formed on the bottom surface of the container 50, and the container 50 in the installation plate portion 12 is installed. A first convex portion 12a that fits into the first concave portion 51d is formed on the surface.
According to this configuration, the container 50 can be stably installed on the installation plate portion 12 by fitting the first convex portion 12 a of the installation plate portion 12 into the first recess 51 d of the container 50. .

(3) The upper surface of the first convex portion 12a is inclined so that the height in the thickness direction of the installation plate portion 12 increases as it goes in the direction (back side) in which the container 50 is inserted into the extractor body 10. A surface 12a1 is provided.
According to this configuration, when inserting the container 50, the container 50 is guided while sliding on the inclined surface 12 a 1 of the installation plate portion 12. Thereby, the container 50 can be smoothly inserted into the extractor body 10.

(4) The extractor body 10 includes a pressing member spring 32 that presses the container 50 through the pressing member 31 with a force larger than the force by which the lever 14 presses the container 50 installed in the extractor body 10.
According to this configuration, when the container 50 is installed in the extractor body 10, the container 50 is more reliably suppressed from being pushed and moved by the lever 14.

(5) The container 50 includes a bottomed cylindrical container body 51 and a lid body 52 that covers the opening 51f of the container body 51. The pressing member 31 includes an abutting portion 31 a 1 that is located above the installed container 50 and abuts against the upper end of the container body 51.
According to this configuration, the container 50 can be stably pressed by pressing the container main body 51 instead of the lid 52 by the contact portion 31 a 1 of the pressing member 31. Moreover, the container 50 can be more stably pressed by pressing the container 50 with the two contact portions 31a1.

(6) When the container 50 is inserted, the pressing member 31 is provided at a position where it comes into contact with the container 50 before the contact portion 31a1, and the inclined surface 31a3 that becomes closer to the installation surface 5 toward the contact portion 31a1 side. Is provided.
As the container 50 is inserted, the holding member 31 can be retracted in a direction away from the installation surface 5 of the extractor body 10 by sliding the container 50 on the inclined surface 31a3. Therefore, the container 50 can be smoothly inserted into the extractor body 10.
For example, when inserting the container 50 into the extractor main body 10 installed on the table while the user is standing, it is assumed that the container 50 is inserted into the extractor main body 10 in an inclined state. Even in this case, the inclination of the container 50 is corrected by sliding and guiding the container 50 on the inclined surface 31a3. Therefore, the container 50 can be inserted into the extractor body 10 more reliably.

(7) The container body 51 includes a spout 51 c that is connected to the upper end of the container body 51 and protrudes toward the outside of the container body 51 when viewed from the height direction of the extractor body 10. The holding member 31 is formed with a valley 31b that avoids the spout 51c when the container 50 is inserted.
According to this configuration, when the container 50 is inserted into the extractor main body 10, the spout 51 c of the container 50 is suppressed from coming into contact with the pressing member 31. Therefore, the container 50 can be smoothly inserted into the extractor body 10. Moreover, when the insertion of the container 50 is completed, the spout 51c can be set to a desired position, specifically, a position where the beverage can be reliably poured from the extractor body 10.

(8) The container 50 is entirely formed of a synthetic resin. According to this structure, the container 50 can be reduced in weight and a user does not require big force when pouring a drink from the container 50 to a cup. Further, even if the container 50 is relatively light as described above, the holding member 31 that holds the container 50 is provided as described above, so that the container 50 is prevented from being pushed and moved by the lever 14. The Therefore, the beverage extractor 1 provided with the pressing member 31 is particularly suitable when the lightweight container 50 is employed.
Further, by adopting the lightweight container 50, the urging force from the container side pressing portion 14b of the lever 14 to the container 50 can be set smaller than that of a beverage extractor provided with a conventional stainless steel container. Thereby, since the reaction force by the lever 14 at the time of inserting the container 50 becomes small, the container 50 can be inserted in the extractor main body 10 smoothly. Moreover, when inserting the container 50, it can suppress that the extractor main body 10 moves. Therefore, the user can easily insert the container 50 into the extractor body 10 with one hand.

For example, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the pair of pressing members 231 are arranged along the same direction as the rotation axis O1 of the lever 14 and are positioned so as to sandwich the ceiling member 138 therebetween. The pair of pressing members 231 urges the upper end of the container body 51 through an elastic member (not shown) such as a spring. Thereby, the container 50 is hold | maintained in the container storage space 10a.

  In the said embodiment, although the pressing member 31 was pressing the container 50 from upper direction, you may press the container 50 from a side or the downward direction.

  In the above-described embodiment, the first concave portion 51d is formed on the bottom surface of the container 50, and the first convex portion 12a that fits into the first concave portion 51d is formed on the installation plate portion 12, Conversely, a convex portion may be formed on the bottom surface of the container 50, and a concave portion that fits into the convex portion may be formed on the installation plate portion 12. For example, by forming a pair of rail-shaped protrusions on the bottom surface of the container 50, the container 50 can be stably placed on the table or the like even when the container 50 is placed on a table or the like.

  Although the inclined surface 12a1 is formed on the upper surface of the first convex portion 12a of the installation plate portion 12 in the above embodiment, the upper surface of the first convex portion 12a is formed in a planar shape along the installation surface 5. Also good. Moreover, the 2nd convex part 12b of the installation board part 12 in the said embodiment and the 2nd recessed part 51e of the container 50 may be what kind of shape, as long as it can mutually fit. Moreover, you may abbreviate | omit the 2nd convex part 12b and the 2nd recessed part 51e. Similarly, the first convex portion 12a of the installation plate portion 12 and the first concave portion 51d of the container 50 may have any shape as long as they can be fitted to each other. Moreover, you may abbreviate | omit the 1st convex part 12a and the 1st recessed part 51d. Furthermore, the installation plate portion 12 in the extractor body 10 may be omitted. In this case, the container 50 is installed directly on the installation surface 5 of the extractor body 10.

  In the said embodiment, although the inclined surface 31a3 was formed in the pressing member 31, you may abbreviate | omit the inclined surface 31a3.

  In the above embodiment, the container 50 is entirely made of synthetic resin, but may be made of stainless steel.

  In the said embodiment, although the extractor main body 10 was provided with the liquid supply part 20a which supplies hot water to the dripper 16, the liquid supply part 20a may be abbreviate | omitted. In this case, the hot water may be supplied from the outside of the extractor body 10 to the extractor body 10, or the hot water may be supplied to the dripper 16 by the user.
