Description

The present invention relates to a lid attached to the mouth of a beverage container.

Beverage containers include liquid containers made of metal such as aluminum and stainless steel, resin, and glass, which users pack and carry beverages such as water, tea, coffee, and juice, and manufacturers pack and sell beverages. A liquid container made of PET resin is conventionally known. The lid of a PET bottle is made of a resin material different from that of the container body. In order to reuse limited resources from the viewpoint of environmental protection, it is necessary to disassemble and clean the beverage container into a container body and a lid after use. Patent Publication No. 2017-206270 as an example of a beverage container pursuing ease of cleaning, and Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-002153 as an example of decorating the lid to promote the separation and reuse of the beverage container and the lid. Can be mentioned.

The structure of the beverage container disclosed in the public relations of Patent Publication No. 2017-206270 has the ease of disassembling and assembling the container and the lid, and the ease of cleaning each part.

The lid of the beverage container disclosed in the Public Relations of Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-002153 is intended to be used as a figurine by removing the lid after drinking the beverage.

Maintaining hygiene is essential for repeated use of beverage containers. In addition, it is necessary to separate and clean the liquid container and the lid for the reuse of resources in order to dispose of the beverage container and dispose of it as garbage. However, the conventional beverage container does not have a mechanism for inducing washing to the user.

The present inventor has proposed a ring having a fountain function in the public relations of No. 3195892. The ring has a ring that fits on the finger and a reflector that receives running water, allowing the user to form a fountain where water is used. A ring that can be used repeatedly makes the user feel attached to it, but because it has sharp angles and protrusions, it may hurt the user and surrounding objects.

An object to be solved by the present invention is to provide a lid having a fountain function in order to motivate the user to disassemble the beverage container and clean the lid.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and is a lid for a beverage container characterized by having a reflector for forming a fountain on the top surface and the inner surface of the lid of the liquid container.

The lid of the present invention includes a reflector having a screw portion on the inner side surface and an inner ring for sealing the inner mouth portion of the beverage container in the center of the inner side.

The outer top surface and the inner reflector of the lid are composed of concave surfaces and protrusions according to a preferred embodiment.

When cleaning the lid of the present invention, the user can apply running water such as a faucet to the reflector and enjoy the modeling formed by the reflected water.

It is sectional drawing of the cover of this invention. It is a top view of the lid of this invention. A schematic perspective view of the top surface of the lid according to the embodiment as viewed from above is shown. A schematic perspective view of the inside of the lid according to the embodiment as viewed from above is shown.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention shows a specific example and is not limited to the illustrated embodiment. In addition, since the characteristic parts of the invention may be emphasized in the drawings, the scale and arrangement of the components are intended to be examples, and the scope of the present invention is not limited. FIG. 1A is a cross-sectional view of the lid 1. A reflector 2 on the top surface, a screw portion 3 on the inner side surface, and an inner reflector 5 having an inner ring 4 for sealing the mouth portion of the beverage container in the center are provided. FIG. 1B is a plan view of the lid 1.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic perspective view of the usage mode of the lid of the present invention as viewed from above. The top surface of the lid 1 of the beverage container 8 is usually circular, but may be oval, triangular, rectangular, polygonal, or the like.

As the material of the lid 1, various metals, resin materials and the like can be used without particular limitation. Further, the lid 1 may have a decorative pattern or characters printed on it, or may have irregularities on its side surface. As for the method of manufacturing the lid, the conventional technique can be appropriately referred to, and techniques such as integral molding of resin, combination of divided parts, and crimping can be appropriately adopted.

When the reflector 2 on the top surface of the lid receives the flowing water 9, the water film is configured to have a predetermined shape by dispersing and bending the flow of the water. If the reflector is not provided with the protrusions 6, a circular or dome-shaped water film is formed when it receives running water.

FIG. 3 shows a schematic perspective view of the usage of the inside of the lid of the present invention as viewed from above. When the diameter of the lid is large, if the inner reflector 5 is provided according to the diameter of the inner ring inside, a fountain can be formed with a small amount of running water. A screw portion 3 is provided on the inner side surface of the lid, and an inner reflector 5 raised from an inner ring for sealing the mouth portion of the beverage container is provided in the center. The user grips the lid by hand (not shown) or places it on a beverage container and hits it with running water 9.

The inner reflector 5 is preferably provided with a protrusion 6. Typically, the protrusions 6 project substantially perpendicular to the plate surface of the reflector 5. The protrusion 6 divides the running water 7 on the reflector or divides the water film flowing out along the bottom surface of the reflector depending on its size. The depth of the concave surface of the reflector 5 is not particularly limited, and is preferably 5 to 10 mm.

A plurality of prism-shaped protrusions 6 can be arranged on the reflector 2 on the top surface and the reflector 5 on the inner surface to form a linear water flow or divide the water film, and by combining these, it is possible to form a linear water flow. It will be possible to generate water films that look like butterflies, cherry blossoms, spiders, stars, etc.

The edge of the reflector 5 is preferably at the same height as the edge of the lid 1 and may be higher. This is to prevent the running water or the water film formed by the reflector 5 from colliding with the edge of the lid 1.

To clean the threads on the inner side of the lid and the inner ring 4 in the center, run water towards them. You may rinse it by immersing it in water stored in another container.

The lid attached to the mouth of the beverage container of the present invention brings the added value of forming a small fountain to the cleaning of the beverage container, and expands the market for fountains in the home.
