【発明の詳細な説明】 〔産業上の利用分野〕 本発明は飲料容器に関する。さらに詳しくは、何回か
に分けて飲料を取り出しても、飲料の味覚などが変わら
ない飲料容器に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a beverage container. More specifically, the present invention relates to a beverage container in which the taste and the like of the beverage do not change even if the beverage is taken out several times.
従来はビンや缶入りの飲料を何回かに分けて取り出す
ばあいは、使用するたびにネジ式または弾力性を利用し
たキャップで栓または蓋をし、そのまま冷蔵庫などで収
容している。Conventionally, when a bottled or canned beverage is to be taken out in several batches, it is stored in a refrigerator or the like, each time it is used, with a screw-type or elastic cap that is used as a stopper or lid.
〔発明が解決しようとする課題〕 飲料が炭酸系のものであるばあいは、長時間（たとえ
ば半日〜１日）放置しておけばいわゆる気が抜けた状態
になってしまう。また炭酸系以外の飲料でも、飲料の一

味覚がおちるおそれがある。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] When a beverage is carbonated, it will be in a so-called deprived state if it is left for a long time (for example, half a day to 1 day). In addition, even for non-carbonated drinks, when air is taken out when a part of the drink is taken out, various bacteria invade and the contents are oxidized, which deteriorates the quality,
Taste may fall.
本発明は前記従来の容器の問題を解消し、何回かに分
けて飲料を取り出しても気が抜けたり品質が劣化しない
飲料容器を提供することを目的としている。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional container and to provide a beverage container which does not lose its consciousness or deteriorate in quality even if the beverage is taken out several times.
本発明の飲料容器は、 （ａ）その蓋部にプルトップ式の開口部材が設けられて
なる、飲料を収容するための耐圧性の本体と、 （ｂ）該本体の蓋部に設けられており、当該本体の内部
と外部を連通する開閉自在のバルブと、 （ｃ）前記本体内に飲料と共に充填される加圧ガス とからなり、前記バルブは、前記本体外部部分に着脱自
在に取り付けられる飲料液の吐出口を備えたスパウトを
有し、かつ、該スパウトを押し下げることによりバルブ
が開放され、前記バルブの前記本体内側に接続されたデ
ィップチューブの先端開口から前記スパウトの吐出口に
向けて飲料液が吐出可能となる ことを特徴としている。The beverage container of the present invention comprises: (a) a pressure-resistant main body for storing a beverage, which has a lid portion provided with a pull-top type opening member; and (b) a lid portion of the main body. A beverage that is openably and closably connected between the inside and the outside of the main body, and (c) a pressurized gas that is filled in the main body together with a beverage, and the valve is a beverage that is detachably attached to an external portion of the main body. A spout having a liquid discharge port, and by pressing down the spout, the valve is opened, and the beverage is discharged from the tip opening of the dip tube connected to the inside of the main body of the valve toward the spout discharge port. The feature is that the liquid can be discharged.
本体内には加圧ガスが充填されているので内圧が高
く、バルブを開いて飲料を取り出すときは飲料が噴出し
てくる状態となる。したがって内部には空気が入り込ま
ず、雑菌が入り込んだり飲料が酸化して品質が劣化した
りすることがない。Since the main body is filled with pressurized gas, the internal pressure is high, and when the valve is opened and the beverage is taken out, the beverage comes out. Therefore, air does not enter the inside, so that germs do not enter and the beverage is not oxidized to deteriorate the quality.
またバルブが本体の内外を気密に遮断するので、炭酸
系飲料のばあいでも気が抜けたりしない。In addition, since the valve shuts the inside and outside of the body airtight, even when carbonated beverages are used, the air will not be lost.
加圧ガスとしては炭酸系飲料のばあいは炭酸ガスガ用
いられるが、あわせて窒素ガスなどの不活性ガスを用い
るのが好ましい。炭酸系以外の飲料のばあいは窒素ガス
のような不活性ガスが加圧ガスとして用いられる。As the pressurized gas, carbon dioxide gas is used in the case of carbonated beverages, but it is also preferable to use an inert gas such as nitrogen gas. In the case of non-carbonated beverages, an inert gas such as nitrogen gas is used as the pressurized gas.
容器の本体の蓋部にプルトップ式の開口部を設けてお
くと、全量を一度に使いきるとき、あるいはバルブから
全部出し切れないとき、とくに誤って加圧ガスだけを放
出して内圧が少なくなったときなどにプルトップを開け
て飲料を取り出せる利点がある。By providing a pull-top type opening on the lid of the container body, when the entire amount was used up at once, or when the valve could not be completely exhausted, especially the pressurized gas was accidentally released and the internal pressure decreased. There is an advantage that you can open the pull top and take out the beverage at times.

kg f/cm2としておく。The pressurized gas (G) used in the present invention is preferably an inert gas such as nitrogen gas, but any gas can be used without particular limitation as long as it does not deteriorate the beverage. In the case of carbonated drinks, carbon dioxide or a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas may be used. Pressurized gas pressure is usually 0.3-7.0
Keep it as kg f / cm 2 .
つぎに叙上のごとく構成される飲料容器の使用方法を
説明する。Next, a method of using the beverage container configured as described above will be described.
スパウト（15）を押し込むと軸部（16）が下降して弁
座（10）をパッキン（６）から離すので、軸部（16）の
孔（16a）とハウジング（７）の空所（7a）とが連通す

っているので、飲料（Ｄ）はディップチューブ（18）、
ハウジング（７）、軸部（９）およびスパウト（15）を
通って吐出口（19）から外部へ吐出される。したがって
使用者は吐出口（19）の下方でコップ（第２図の（2
1））などで受けておけばよい。When the spout (15) is pushed in, the shaft portion (16) descends to separate the valve seat (10) from the packing (6), so the hole (16a) in the shaft portion (16) and the space (7a) in the housing (7). ) Communicates with. Since pressure is applied to the beverage (D) by the pressurized gas (G), the beverage (D) is a dip tube (18),
It is discharged from the discharge port (19) to the outside through the housing (7), the shaft portion (9) and the spout (15). Therefore, the user can use the cup ((2) in Fig. 2 below the discharge port (19).
1)) and so on.
スパウト（15）を放すと弁座（10）はバネ（11）の力
で上方に戻り、内部と外部の連通が遮断される。そのと
きも本体（３）内の圧力がそれほど低下せず、外部から
本体（３）内に空気が入ったり、内部の炭酸ガスが逃げ
出すことがない。When the spout (15) is released, the valve seat (10) returns upward due to the force of the spring (11), and the communication between the inside and the outside is cut off. At that time as well, the pressure in the main body (3) does not drop so much, and air does not enter the main body (3) from the outside and carbon dioxide gas inside does not escape.
再度、飲料を取り出すばあいは前記手順を繰り返すだ
けでよく、内部の飲料がすべて使用されるまで繰り返さ
れる。When the beverage is to be taken out again, all that is required is to repeat the above procedure, until all the beverage inside has been used.
加圧ガスの圧力はたとえば初期では0.3〜7.0kg f/cm2
であるが、最後には0.1〜2.0kg f/cm2程度となる。The pressure of the pressurized gas is, for example, 0.3 to 7.0 kg f / cm 2 in the initial stage.
However, the final value is about 0.1 to 2.0 kg f / cm 2 .
なお誤って本体（３）を上下逆にしたり、横向きにし
てバルブ操作をすると、加圧ガスのみがディップチュー
ブ（18）を通して外部に逃げてしまうばあいがある。そ
のときはプルトップの引手（20）を引いて開缶し、飲料
を取り出せばよい。If the body (3) is accidentally turned upside down or the valve is turned sideways, only the pressurized gas may escape to the outside through the dip tube (18). In that case, pull the pull-top puller (20) to open the can and take out the beverage.
またプルトップは内容物の全量を一度に使うばあいに
も用いられ、さらにバルブによって全量を出した後に、
缶体を捨てる前に中が空であることを確かめるためにも
用いられる。The pull-top is also used when the entire amount of the contents is used at once, and after the valve has exhausted the entire amount,
It is also used to make sure the inside is empty before discarding the can.
第１〜２図では金属缶の本体を用いた飲料容器が示さ
れているが、本発明の飲料容器においては金属缶のほ
か、合成樹脂製やガラス製など、他の材料からなる本体
を用いることもでき、形状や容量もとくに限定されるも
のではない。Although a beverage container using a main body of a metal can is shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a main body made of other material such as synthetic resin or glass is used in the beverage container of the present invention in addition to the metal can. However, the shape and capacity are not particularly limited.
