Description
本発明は、液体であるビール等の発泡性飲料を収容し、ジョッキ、グラス等に注ぐピッチャーに関する。 The present invention relates to a pitcher that contains an effervescent beverage such as beer that is a liquid and pours it into a mug, glass or the like.
飲食店等でビール等の発泡性飲料を来店者に提供する際に、一般的な方法としては、サーバーから直接ジョッキ、グラス等にビールを注いで提供する方法と、ピッチャーに数人分のビールを入れて来店者に提供し、来店者が必要に応じてジョッキ、グラス等に注ぐ方法がある。 When providing effervescent beverages such as beer to restaurants at restaurants, etc., general methods include pouring beer directly from the server to mugs, glasses, etc., and beer for several people to the pitcher There is a method in which the store is provided to the store visitor, and the visitor pours it into a mug, a glass or the like as necessary.
ビール等の発泡性飲料を提供する際には、口当たり、味覚、見た目等の点からクリーミーできめ細かな泡の層を形成することが求められるので、サーバーから発泡性飲料を注ぐ際には、ジョッキ、グラス等を傾けて高圧で発泡性飲料を注ぐことでクリーミーできめ細かな泡の層を形成している。 When providing effervescent beverages such as beer, it is required to form a creamy and fine foam layer in terms of mouth feel, taste, appearance, etc. By pouring a sparkling beverage at a high pressure by tilting a glass or the like, a creamy and fine foam layer is formed.
しかしながら、ピッチャーを用いて発泡性飲料を注ぐ場合、サーバーのような圧力を発泡性飲料に加えることができないために十分な泡の層を形成できないという問題があった。このような問題を解消するために、ピッチャーおよびピッチャーカバーを改良し、ジョッキ、グラス等に発泡性飲料を注ぐ際に、注ぎ口から主流と副流という異なる２つの流れを生じさせ、さらに、副流によって主流に適度な刺激を与えながら発泡性飲料を注ぐことでクリーミーできめ細かな泡の層の形成を実現したもの（特許文献１参照）がある。 However, when a sparkling beverage is poured using a pitcher, there is a problem that a sufficient foam layer cannot be formed because pressure like a server cannot be applied to the sparkling beverage. In order to solve such problems, the pitcher and the pitcher cover are improved, and when a sparkling beverage is poured into a mug, a glass, etc., two different flows, a main flow and a sub flow, are generated from the spout. Some have realized the formation of a creamy and fine foam layer by pouring a sparkling beverage while giving an appropriate stimulus to the mainstream by the flow (see Patent Document 1).
特許文献１のような、主流と副流の２つの流れを生じさせる構造のピッチャーは、適切に使用しない場合、例えば、発泡性飲料を勢いよく注いだ場合、主流と副流とが平行に流れ出て副流が主流に対して適切な刺激を与えることなくジョッキ、グラス等内に注がれて泡が多くなるという問題があった。また、ピッチャー内の発泡性飲料の量が多いと、小さなグラスに発泡性飲料を注ぐ際にピッチャーを傾けすぎるとグラスから発泡性飲料が零れることから、ピッチャーを僅かに傾けて発泡性飲料を注ぐことになり、主流と副流の勢いが弱く主流に対して副流が十分な刺激を与えることができなくなり泡が十分に形成されないという問題がある。そして、ピッチャー内の発泡性飲料が残り少なくなった時、および、ピッチャーを傾ける角度が小さい場合にも、主流と副流の勢いが弱くなり副流が主流に十分な刺激を与えることができなくて、泡が十分に形成されないという問題が生じる可能性がある。このように、発泡性飲料を注ぐ際に、主流に対して副流が適切に刺激を与えることができないとクリーミーできめ細かな泡の層が形成できないという問題が生じている。 When a pitcher having a structure that generates two flows of a main flow and a sub flow as in Patent Document 1 is not used properly, for example, when a sparkling beverage is poured vigorously, the main flow and the sub flow flow out in parallel. Thus, there was a problem that the side stream was poured into a mug, a glass or the like without giving an appropriate stimulus to the main stream, and bubbles increased. In addition, if the amount of sparkling beverage in the pitcher is large, if the pitcher is tilted too much when pouring the sparkling beverage into a small glass, the sparkling beverage will spill out of the glass, so the pitcher is tilted slightly and the sparkling beverage is poured. In other words, there is a problem that the mainstream and the substream are weak and the substream cannot give sufficient stimulation to the mainstream and bubbles are not sufficiently formed. And when there is little remaining sparkling beverage in the pitcher and when the angle at which the pitcher is tilted is small, the momentum of the mainstream and sidestream will be weak and the sidestream will not be able to sufficiently stimulate the mainstream. There may be a problem that bubbles are not sufficiently formed. Thus, when pouring sparkling beverages, there is a problem that a creamy and fine foam layer cannot be formed unless the side stream can properly stimulate the main stream.
そこで、本発明は従来の問題を解決するために、発泡性飲料を注ぐ際に、クリーミーできめ細かな泡の層をより確実に形成することが可能なピッチャーを提供することを目的とする。 Therefore, in order to solve the conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a pitcher capable of more reliably forming a creamy and fine foam layer when pouring a sparkling beverage.

本発明のピッチャー１を、図を用いて以下に詳細に説明する。図１が本発明のピッチャー１の斜視図であり、図２が断面図、図４が平面図である。 The pitcher 1 of this invention is demonstrated in detail below using figures. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the pitcher 1 of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view, and FIG. 4 is a plan view.
本発明のピッチャー１は、図１，２に示すように、収容部４、注ぎ口５、および、持ち手６が設けられた本体２と、前記本体２の開口に被せて取り付けるカバー３からなり、前記収容部４内にビール等の発泡性飲料を収容し、前記注ぎ口５から発泡性飲料をジョッキ、グラス等に注ぐものである。 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pitcher 1 of the present invention includes a main body 2 provided with a housing portion 4, a spout 5, and a handle 6, and a cover 3 that is attached to the opening of the main body 2. The effervescent beverage such as beer is accommodated in the accommodating portion 4 and the effervescent beverage is poured from the spout 5 into a mug, a glass or the like.
前記本体２は、図２の断面図に示すように、内側部１１と外側部１２の２つの部材からなり、前記内側部１１と前記外側部１２との間に空間１３が設けられた２重構造である。前記本体２を２重構造とすることで、前記本体２の保冷性を高め、前記収容部４内の発泡性飲料をより長く冷えた状態を保つことができる。 As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 2, the main body 2 is composed of two members, an inner portion 11 and an outer portion 12, and is a double layer in which a space 13 is provided between the inner portion 11 and the outer portion 12. Structure. By making the said main body 2 into a double structure, the cold-retaining property of the said main body 2 can be improved, and the state which cooled the effervescent drink in the said accommodating part 4 for a longer period can be maintained.
前記内側部１１は略円筒形状を有し、側壁の上端を外側に折り返して折り返し部が形成されており、前記折り返し部の下端に沿って凹部２４が形成されている。そして、前記外側部１２も略円筒形を有し、側壁の上端に前記内側部１１の凹部２４に挿入される凸部２５が円弧状に形成されており、前記凹部２４に前記凸部２５を挿入して接着剤、超音波接合等を用いて固定することにより、前記内側部１１と前記外側部１２とは互いに固定され前記本体２が形成される。前記本体２の構造としては、２重構造に限定するものではなく、単一の部材からなる構造とすることも可能である。前記本体２は、前記内側部１１および前記外側部１２をそれぞれ合成樹脂材料で形成したものである。 The inner portion 11 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and a folded portion is formed by folding the upper end of the side wall outward, and a recess 24 is formed along the lower end of the folded portion. The outer portion 12 also has a substantially cylindrical shape, and a convex portion 25 to be inserted into the concave portion 24 of the inner portion 11 is formed in an arc shape at the upper end of the side wall, and the convex portion 25 is formed in the concave portion 24. By inserting and fixing using an adhesive, ultrasonic bonding, or the like, the inner portion 11 and the outer portion 12 are fixed to each other to form the main body 2. The structure of the main body 2 is not limited to a double structure, and may be a structure composed of a single member. In the main body 2, the inner portion 11 and the outer portion 12 are each formed of a synthetic resin material.
前記本体２は、前記外側部１２の側壁に持ち手６が一体形成されており、前記内側部１１の内部が前記収容部４として形成されている。前記収容部４の容量としては、ビール等の発泡性飲料を入れることを踏まえて１．４〜２．０Ｌを想定しており、本実施形態では１．４Ｌを想定して図示しているが、前記収容部４の容量は限定するものではなく、用途に応じて適宜設定することができる。さらに、前記内側部１１の側壁には、前記注ぎ口５が形成されている。前記注ぎ口５は、前記内側部１１の側壁の一部を上端から略逆三角形に切欠いた部分の２辺から外側に突出するように形成された２つの傾斜壁１７が先端で接続されて形成されており、前記内側部１１の側壁と一体形成されている。前記２つの傾斜壁１７は、図４，５に示すように、平面視が略Ｖ字状となるように配置されており、前記本体２内に収容されたビール等の発泡性飲料をジョッキ、グラス等に注ぐためのものである。 In the main body 2, a handle 6 is integrally formed on the side wall of the outer portion 12, and the inside of the inner portion 11 is formed as the accommodating portion 4. The capacity of the housing portion 4 is assumed to be 1.4 to 2.0 L in consideration of putting an effervescent beverage such as beer. In the present embodiment, the capacity is assumed to be 1.4 L. And the capacity | capacitance of the said accommodating part 4 is not limited, It can set suitably according to a use. Further, the spout 5 is formed on the side wall of the inner portion 11. The spout 5 is formed by connecting two inclined walls 17 formed so as to protrude outward from two sides of a portion where a part of the side wall of the inner portion 11 is cut out from the upper end into a substantially inverted triangle. It is formed integrally with the side wall of the inner part 11. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the two inclined walls 17 are arranged so as to be substantially V-shaped in a plan view, and mugs a sparkling beverage such as beer accommodated in the main body 2. For pouring into glass.
前記カバー３は、前記収容部４の上方に位置し、その少なくとも一部を覆い閉じるための第1の部分７、および、前記注ぎ口５内でその一部分を閉じる第２の部分８を有し、さらに、前記本体２の外周面と着脱可能に係合される外周部９を有する。前記第１の部分７、前記第２の部分８、および、前記外周部９は、合成樹脂材料で一体成形されている。 The cover 3 is located above the accommodating portion 4 and has a first portion 7 for covering and closing at least a portion thereof, and a second portion 8 for closing the portion within the spout 5. Furthermore, it has the outer peripheral part 9 detachably engaged with the outer peripheral surface of the main body 2. The first portion 7, the second portion 8, and the outer peripheral portion 9 are integrally formed of a synthetic resin material.
前記第１の部分７は、図４に示すように、円形の一部を直線で切断した平面形状を有しており、前記第２の部分８は、前記第１の部分７の直線部分から水平方向に対して下方に傾斜して延伸するように一体形成されており、先端側の幅が狭い略台形に形成されている。前記外周部９は、前記第１の部分７の曲線部分の周縁から下方へと延伸し、前記本体２の外周面の一部を覆うように形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 4, the first portion 7 has a planar shape obtained by cutting a part of a circle with a straight line, and the second portion 8 is formed from a straight portion of the first portion 7. It is integrally formed so as to extend while being inclined downward with respect to the horizontal direction, and is formed in a substantially trapezoidal shape with a narrow width on the tip side. The outer peripheral portion 9 extends downward from the peripheral edge of the curved portion of the first portion 7 and is formed so as to cover a part of the outer peripheral surface of the main body 2.
前記第１の部分７は、平面形状が略半円形で上方に突出した凸部２０と、平面形状が略半円形で、下方に突出した湾曲面からなる凹部２１が設けられ、前記凸部２０と前記凹部２１との間には開口２２が形成されている。前記開口２２は、指を入れて前記カバー３を前記本体２から取り外す際に使用される。前記第１の部分７は、このような構造に限定するものではなく、前記凸部２０等を設けないで平坦な構造としてもよい。 The first portion 7 is provided with a convex portion 20 having a substantially semicircular planar shape and projecting upward, and a concave portion 21 having a substantially semicircular planar shape and a curved surface projecting downward. And the recess 21 is formed with an opening 22. The opening 22 is used when inserting the finger and removing the cover 3 from the main body 2. The first portion 7 is not limited to such a structure, and may be a flat structure without providing the convex portion 20 or the like.
前記第２の部分８は、前記第1の部分７から水平方向に対して下方に傾斜するように一体形成されていることから、従来のように、前記注ぎ口５をその上端部分で一部を塞ぐのではなく、前記注ぎ口５内へと延伸し、前記注ぎ口５内でその一部を塞ぐ状態となる。前記第２の部分８の平面視は略等脚台形であり、前記第２の部分８を、前記第１の部分７との接続部分を下底とした略等脚台形とした場合、図４，５に示すように、２つの脚の部分に相当する２つの辺は、前記注ぎ口５を形成する２つの傾斜壁１７の内面と当接し、上底となる先端側の直線部分と２つの前記傾斜壁１７の内面とで形成される略三角形の部分が開口１９となり、発泡性飲料を注ぐ際の主流を形成する。前記第２の部分８の２つの脚の部分に相当する２つの辺は、前記注ぎ口５の２つの傾斜壁１７の内面と当接するように曲線で構成されている。 Since the second portion 8 is integrally formed so as to incline downward with respect to the horizontal direction from the first portion 7, a part of the spout 5 is formed at its upper end portion as in the prior art. Rather than closing the pour spout 5, the pour spout 5 is stretched and a part of the pour spout 5 is blocked. When the second portion 8 is substantially isosceles trapezoidal in plan view, and the second portion 8 is substantially isosceles trapezoidal with the connection portion with the first portion 7 being the bottom, FIG. , 5, the two sides corresponding to the two leg portions are in contact with the inner surfaces of the two inclined walls 17 forming the spout 5, and the straight portion on the tip side serving as the upper bottom and the two sides A substantially triangular portion formed by the inner surface of the inclined wall 17 becomes an opening 19 and forms a mainstream when pouring a sparkling beverage. Two sides corresponding to the two leg portions of the second portion 8 are configured by curves so as to abut against the inner surfaces of the two inclined walls 17 of the spout 5.
前記第２の部分８には、図２，３に示すように、２つの貫通孔１０が設けられている。前記貫通孔１０は、発泡性飲料を注ぐ際の副流を形成するものであり、前記第２の部分８が下方に傾斜していることにより、前記貫通孔１０からの副流は、前記主流とは異なる角度で形成されることになり、前記注ぎ口５付近で前記副流は前記開口１９からの主流に適度な刺激を与えながら合流することができる。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the second portion 8 is provided with two through holes 10. The said through-hole 10 forms the side flow at the time of pouring an effervescent drink, and since the said 2nd part 8 inclines below, the side flow from the said through-hole 10 is the said mainstream. Therefore, the substream can join the main flow from the opening 19 while giving an appropriate stimulus in the vicinity of the spout 5.
図３に示す前記第２の部分８の傾斜角度αは、前記貫通孔１０からの副流が、前記注ぎ口５付近で前記開口１９からの主流に適度な刺激を与えながら合流できるようにするために、水平方向に対して下方に３０〜５０°とする。傾斜角度αが小さくなる（水平に近づく）と、使用状態によっては、副流が主流に適切な刺激を与えることができなくてクリーミーできめ細かな泡の層を形成できないという問題点を解消することができなくなる可能性がある。また、傾斜角度が大きくなる（垂直に近づく）と、副流が主流に十分な刺激を与えることなく直ぐに合流するような状態となることから、泡の形成が不十分となる可能性が高い。これらを考慮して、前記第２の部分８の傾斜角度については、水平方向に対して下方に３０〜５０°としているが、好ましくは３５〜４５°、より好ましくは３８〜４２°とする。しかしながら、前記第２の部分８の最適な傾斜角度については、前記貫通孔１０の位置、方向、大きさ、前記注ぎ口５との位置関係などを考慮することで、適宜、変更することが可能である。 The inclination angle α of the second portion 8 shown in FIG. 3 allows the secondary flow from the through hole 10 to merge while giving an appropriate stimulus to the main flow from the opening 19 in the vicinity of the spout 5. Therefore, it is set to 30 to 50 ° downward with respect to the horizontal direction. When the inclination angle α is small (approaching to the horizontal), the problem that the side flow cannot give the main stream an appropriate stimulus depending on the state of use, and a creamy and fine foam layer cannot be formed is solved. May not be possible. In addition, when the inclination angle is increased (approached perpendicularly), the side flow immediately joins without giving sufficient stimulation to the main flow, so that the formation of bubbles is likely to be insufficient. Considering these, the inclination angle of the second portion 8 is set to 30 to 50 ° downward with respect to the horizontal direction, preferably 35 to 45 °, more preferably 38 to 42 °. However, the optimum inclination angle of the second portion 8 can be changed as appropriate by taking into consideration the position, direction, size of the through hole 10, the positional relationship with the spout 5, and the like. It is.
前記第２の部分８の貫通孔１０の角度は、図３に示すように、前記第２の部分８の平坦な面に対して垂直に形成することが好ましい。このような角度に形成することで、前記貫通孔１０からの副流は前記注ぎ口５付近で前記開口１９からの主流に適度の刺激を与えやすくなり、また、スムーズに副流を形成することができる。しかしながら、前記貫通孔１０からの副流により主流に適度な刺激を与えるためには、前記第２の部分８の傾斜角度αに応じて、前記第２の部分８に対する前記貫通孔１０の角度も変化させることも考えられることから、垂直に限定するのではなく、適宜角度を変更し斜めとすることも可能である。 As shown in FIG. 3, the angle of the through hole 10 of the second portion 8 is preferably formed perpendicular to the flat surface of the second portion 8. By forming at such an angle, the side flow from the through-hole 10 can easily give an appropriate stimulus to the main flow from the opening 19 in the vicinity of the spout 5 and can smoothly form the side flow. Can do. However, in order to give an appropriate stimulus to the main flow by the side flow from the through hole 10, the angle of the through hole 10 with respect to the second portion 8 is also set according to the inclination angle α of the second portion 8. Since it is possible to change the angle, the angle is not limited to the vertical direction, but the angle can be changed as appropriate to make the angle oblique.
そして、前記貫通孔１０の配置については、副流が確実に主流に適度な刺激を与えながら合流するようにするために、２つの前記貫通孔１０を、主流の幅Ｗの範囲内に、副流が形成されるように決定することが好ましい。つまり、図５において、前記開口１９の最も広い部分の幅Ｗ（前記第２の部分８の上底の長さに相当する）の範囲内に、２つの前記貫通孔１０を形成する必要がある。そして、図５に示すように、２つの前記貫通孔１０が前記第２の部分８の幅方向の中心軸Ｓに対して対称となるように配置する。このように、前記貫通孔１０を配置することで、２つの前記貫通孔１０からの副流は確実に、そして、均等に、前記開口１９からの主流に適度な刺激を与えることになる。 And about the arrangement | positioning of the said through-hole 10, in order to ensure that a substream merges, giving an appropriate irritation | stimulation to a mainstream, two said through-holes 10 are made into the range of the width W of a mainstream. It is preferable to determine that a flow is formed. That is, in FIG. 5, it is necessary to form the two through holes 10 within the range of the width W of the widest portion of the opening 19 (corresponding to the length of the upper base of the second portion 8). . Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the two through holes 10 are arranged so as to be symmetric with respect to the central axis S in the width direction of the second portion 8. As described above, by arranging the through hole 10, the secondary flow from the two through holes 10 reliably and evenly gives an appropriate stimulus to the main flow from the opening 19.
前記幅Ｗと直交する方向、つまり、前記第２の部分８の下方に傾斜する長さ方向における前記貫通孔１０の位置については、長さ方向の中央付近に配置しているが、図５に示すように、前記第２の部分８を長さ方向に均等に３分割した真ん中の領域Ｌに、前記貫通孔１０の中心軸が位置するように配置することが好ましい。これにより、前記貫通孔１０からの副流は、主流に対して適度な間隔を有して形成されることになり、前記開口１９からの主流に適度な刺激を与えることになる。 The position of the through hole 10 in the direction orthogonal to the width W, that is, the length direction inclined downward of the second portion 8 is arranged near the center in the length direction. As shown, it is preferable to arrange the second portion 8 so that the central axis of the through hole 10 is located in the middle region L obtained by equally dividing the second portion 8 into three in the length direction. As a result, the side flow from the through-hole 10 is formed with an appropriate interval with respect to the main flow, and an appropriate stimulus is given to the main flow from the opening 19.
前記貫通孔１０は、主流の幅Ｗの範囲内に副流が形成されるように配置すればよいことから、図５の配置に限定するものではない。例えば、図８に示すように、２つの貫通孔１０’を、前記開口１９の最も広い部分の幅Ｗの範囲外に形成し、２つの前記貫通孔１０’からの２つの副流が互いに近づく方向に生じるように、２つの前記貫通孔１０’の中心軸（図８の一点鎖線）が互いに近づく方向に傾けて形成することも可能である。このように前記貫通孔１０’の中心軸を傾けることで、２つの前記貫通孔１０’が前記開口１９の最も広い部分の幅Ｗの範囲外に位置していても、２つの前記貫通孔１０’からの副流は、前記開口１９の最も広い部分の幅Ｗの範囲内に収まり、主流に適度な刺激を与えながら合流することができる。 The through-hole 10 is not limited to the arrangement shown in FIG. 5 because the through-hole 10 may be arranged so that the sub-flow is formed within the range of the mainstream width W. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, two through holes 10 ′ are formed outside the range of the width W of the widest portion of the opening 19, and two substreams from the two through holes 10 ′ approach each other. It is also possible to form the two through holes 10 'so as to be inclined in a direction in which the central axes of the two through holes 10' (the one-dot chain line in FIG. 8) approach each other. By tilting the central axis of the through-hole 10 ′ in this way, the two through-holes 10 ′ are positioned even if the two through-holes 10 ′ are located outside the width W of the widest portion of the opening 19. The substream from 'falls within the range of the width W of the widest portion of the opening 19 and can merge while giving an appropriate stimulus to the mainstream.
前記貫通孔１０の個数については２つに限定するのではなく、３つ以上とすることも可能であるが、個数を増やす場合にも、全ての貫通孔１０は、全ての副流が主流の幅Ｗの範囲内に収まるように配置し、さらに、前記第２の部分８の幅方向の中心軸Ｓに対して対称となるように配置することが好ましい。この場合、全ての貫通孔１０を主流の幅Ｗの範囲内に収まるように配置する実施形態に限定するものではなく、例えば、図８に示すような主流の幅Ｗの範囲外に配置した貫通孔１０’と、図５に示すような主流の幅Ｗの範囲内に配置した貫通孔１０とを組み合わせることも可能であり、全ての副流が主流の幅Ｗの範囲内に収まれば、前記貫通孔１０，１０’の個数および配置は様々な組合せが可能である。 The number of the through-holes 10 is not limited to two, but can be three or more. However, even when the number is increased, all the through-holes 10 have the mainstream. It is preferable that the second portion 8 is arranged so as to be within the range of the width W, and is arranged so as to be symmetric with respect to the central axis S in the width direction of the second portion 8. In this case, the embodiment is not limited to the embodiment in which all the through holes 10 are arranged so as to be within the range of the mainstream width W. For example, the through holes arranged outside the mainstream width W as shown in FIG. It is also possible to combine the hole 10 ′ and the through hole 10 disposed within the range of the mainstream width W as shown in FIG. 5, and if all the substreams are within the range of the mainstream width W, Various combinations are possible for the number and arrangement of the through holes 10 and 10 '.
前記外周部９は、前記カバー３を前記本体２に取り付けた時に、前記カバー３の外周面の一部を覆うように形成されており、前記カバー３を前記本体２に固定するための係合部が、前記外周部９の内周面の下端において内側に突出する凸部２３として形成されている。前記凸部２３は、前記外周部９の下端に沿って円弧状に形成されており、前記本体２における前記内側部１１と前記外側部１２とが固定されている箇所に生じている段差と係合することで、前記カバー３は前記本体２に着脱可能に固定される。前記カバー３と前記本体２との固定については、特に限定するものではなく、前記カバー３を前記本体２に着脱可能であれば他の固定方法を用いてもよい。 The outer peripheral portion 9 is formed so as to cover a part of the outer peripheral surface of the cover 3 when the cover 3 is attached to the main body 2, and is an engagement for fixing the cover 3 to the main body 2. The portion is formed as a convex portion 23 protruding inward at the lower end of the inner peripheral surface of the outer peripheral portion 9. The convex portion 23 is formed in an arc shape along the lower end of the outer peripheral portion 9, and is associated with a step generated at a location where the inner portion 11 and the outer portion 12 of the main body 2 are fixed. By combining, the cover 3 is detachably fixed to the main body 2. The fixing of the cover 3 and the main body 2 is not particularly limited, and other fixing methods may be used as long as the cover 3 can be attached to and detached from the main body 2.
次に、本発明のピッチャー１の収容部４内に収容された発泡性飲料を、ジョッキ、グラス等に注ぐ方法について説明する。本発明のピッチャー１は、ジョッキだけではなく、容量の少ないグラス等に発泡性飲料を注ぐ際にも、クリーミーできめ細かな泡の層を形成できることから、図６，７に示すような一般的な大きさのグラス３０に発泡性飲料を注ぐ場合を用いて説明する。 Next, a method of pouring the sparkling beverage accommodated in the accommodating portion 4 of the pitcher 1 of the present invention into a mug, a glass or the like will be described. Since the pitcher 1 of the present invention can form a creamy and fine foam layer not only for a mug but also when pouring a sparkling beverage into a glass or the like having a small capacity, a general foamer as shown in FIGS. The case where a sparkling beverage is poured into a glass 30 having a size will be described.
ピッチャー１内の発泡性飲料の量が多い場合、前記グラス３０に発泡性飲料を注ごうとしてピッチャー１を傾けすぎると、前記グラス３０から零れることから、前記ピッチャー１を僅かに傾けた状態で発泡性飲料を注ぐ必要がある。この時、図７に示すように、ピッチャー１の前記開口１９から主流として、そして前記貫通孔１０から副流として発泡性飲料が流れてくるが、前記注ぎ口５付近で前記主流に前記副流が適度な刺激を与えながら合流し、その後、前記発泡性飲料が前記グラス３０に注がれることで、前記グラス３０内にはクリーミーできめ細かな泡の層が形成されることになる。同様に、ピッチャー内の発泡性飲料が残り少なくなった場合にも、前記注ぎ口５付近で前記主流に前記副流が適度な刺激を与えながら合流した状態で、発泡性飲料は前記グラス３０に注がれることになり、前記グラス３０内の発泡性飲料の液面にクリーミーできめ細かな泡の層を形成することができる。 When the amount of sparkling beverage in the pitcher 1 is large, if the pitcher 1 is tilted too much in order to pour the sparkling beverage into the glass 30, the pitcher 1 spills from the glass 30, so that the pitcher 1 is slightly tilted. It is necessary to pour sex beverages. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the sparkling beverage flows from the opening 19 of the pitcher 1 as a main flow and from the through-hole 10 as a sub flow, but in the vicinity of the spout 5, the sub flow flows into the main flow. Are joined while giving a moderate stimulus, and then the sparkling beverage is poured into the glass 30, whereby a creamy and fine foam layer is formed in the glass 30. Similarly, even when the remaining amount of sparkling beverage in the pitcher is low, the sparkling beverage is poured into the glass 30 in a state where the main stream joins the main stream while giving an appropriate stimulus in the vicinity of the spout 5. As a result, a creamy and fine foam layer can be formed on the liquid level of the sparkling beverage in the glass 30.
主流と副流を形成する従来のピッチャーでは、小さなグラスに発泡性飲料を注ぐ場合、ピッチャーを傾ける角度が小さいために、主流と副流の勢いが弱く主流に対して副流が十分な刺激を与えることができなくなり、十分な泡を形成することができなかった。これに対し、本発明のピッチャー１は、上述のように、ピッチャーを傾ける角度が小さくても注ぎ口５付近で副流が主流に適度な刺激を与えながら合流することで、前記グラス３０内の発泡性飲料の液面にクリーミーできめ細かな泡の層を形成することが可能となる。 In conventional pitchers that form mainstream and sidestream, when pouring a sparkling beverage into a small glass, the angle of the pitcher is small, so the momentum of the mainstream and sidestream is weak and the sidestream is sufficiently stimulated against the mainstream. It was not possible to give, and sufficient foam could not be formed. On the other hand, as described above, the pitcher 1 of the present invention joins the sidestream near the spout 5 while giving an appropriate stimulus to the mainstream even if the angle at which the pitcher is inclined is small. It becomes possible to form a creamy and fine foam layer on the liquid surface of the sparkling beverage.
また、従来のピッチャーでは、勢いよく発泡性飲料を注いだ場合に、主流と副流とが平行に流れ出ることになり、副流が主流に対して適切な刺激を与えることなくジョッキ、グラス等内に注がれて泡が多くなるという問題があったが、本発明のピッチャー１は、勢いよく発泡性飲料を注いだ場合でも、主流および副流が形成される角度が異なることから、前記注ぎ口５付近で前記主流に前記副流が適度な刺激を与えながら合流し、その後、前記発泡性飲料は前記グラス３０に注がれることになり、前記グラス３０内の発泡性飲料の液面にクリーミーできめ細かな泡の層を形成することができる。 In addition, in the conventional pitcher, when the sparkling beverage is poured vigorously, the main flow and the side flow will flow out in parallel, and the side flow does not give an appropriate stimulus to the main flow, such as in mugs, glasses, etc. However, the pitcher 1 of the present invention has a problem that the angle at which the main stream and the side stream are formed is different even when the sparkling beverage is poured vigorously. In the vicinity of the mouth 5, the substream merges with the main stream while giving an appropriate stimulus, and then the sparkling beverage is poured into the glass 30, and the liquid level of the sparkling beverage in the glass 30 A creamy and fine foam layer can be formed.
このように、本発明のピッチャー１は、どのような場合でも、ジョッキ、グラス等内の発泡性飲料の液面にクリーミーできめ細かな泡の層を形成することを実現する。 Thus, in any case, the pitcher 1 of the present invention realizes the formation of a creamy and fine foam layer on the liquid level of the sparkling beverage in a mug, glass or the like.
