Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a dripper-equipped container in which a dripper such as coffee or tea is stored.

[0002]

[Background of device]

 In recent years, even in general households, coffee is often dripped and drunk, and disposable drippers are widely used. Conventionally, as this kind of disposable dripper, there is one as shown in FIG. In the conventional dripper 1 shown in FIG. 8, an outer peripheral edge portion of a container-shaped straining bag 21 is adhered (adhesive portion 22) to a back surface of a mount 13 having an opening 14 for introducing coffee powder in a central portion. Is formed. The mount 13 is formed in a substantially rectangular shape, and has a size with a long side length of 130 mm and a short side length of about 86 mm.

At the time of shipping, the dripper 1 is packaged (eg, boxed) in a state of a thin flat surface, and a predetermined number of sheets are vertically or horizontally superposed on each other to form a dripper bundle. In this case, the packaging shape of the dripper bundle is generally a rectangular parallelepiped. When the dripper 1 is used, as shown in FIG. 9, the liner 20, 20 ... of the mount 13 is folded and strained to put the bag 21 on the rim of the cup C for use. .

By the way, the coffee powder of the drip extraction type has a property that its quality deteriorates quickly when exposed to air (the flavor becomes poor), and in recent years, it has been often marketed in the state of being housed in a sealed container. ing. As this coffee powder storage container, a cylindrical one is often used. For example, when the internal capacity is 200 g, most of them have an outer diameter of 80 mm and a height of about 135 mm.

In this type of extraction-type coffee powder, a dripper for coffee extraction is used as a set. However, in designing the coffee powder storage container and the dripper bundle, the dripper is used for sale or at home. It is desirable that it has the same shape as the packaging container. Conventionally, however, coffee powder is generally stored in a cylindrical container, while the dripper bundle is currently packed in a rectangular parallelepiped shape.In this way, the coffee powder-containing container and the dripper bundle storage container are If the shapes differ greatly, there is room for improvement in terms of design, for example, when the coffee powder storage container and the dripper bundle packaging container are sold as a set, or used at home. Further, since the dripper bundles are packaged by superimposing each of the drippers in a flat state, the outer shape of the dripper bundle package (the area of the dripper plane) becomes large and a large space for storage is provided. Is required. Furthermore, when drinking coffee, a small tool such as a spoon is used when the coffee powder in the container is put in the dripper, when sugar is put in the cup of extracted coffee, or when the cup is stirred. However, in that case, it was necessary to bring the spoon from the storage location and prepare it, which was troublesome.

[0006]

[The purpose of the device]

 In view of the above background, the invention of the present application stores a large number of drippers in a cylindrical container having the same shape as a commonly used cylindrical coffee powder storage container, and stores the outer shape of the dripper-containing container in the coffee powder storage container. In addition to having the same shape as the container, the dripper bundle can be compactly stored to reduce the outer diameter of the container, and even if the dripper bundle is compactly stored, a spoon, etc. can be placed inside the dripper container. The purpose is to be able to secure a space for small items.

[0007]

[Means for achieving the purpose]

 The dripper-equipped container of the present invention has the following structure as means for achieving the above object.

That is, the present invention is a dripper-equipped container in which a large number of drippers, each of which has a bag attached to one side of a mount having a substantially rectangular plane and an opening in the vicinity of the central portion, are housed in a container. A cylindrical shape with an inner diameter is used, while each dripper is folded in half vertically near the center.

As a container for storing the dripper, it is preferable to use a container having the same shape as a cylindrical container generally used as a coffee powder storage container. For example, the container has an outer diameter of 80 mm (an inner diameter of about 75 mm) and a height of about 135 mm, which is generally used as a coffee powder container (for example, a coffee powder content of about 200 g). It is preferable to use a cylindrical container having a size.

The dripper is formed into a substantially rectangular plane (either rectangular or square) in the expanded state. When the dripper has a rectangular shape, for example, in the expanded state, the long side length is set to about 110 to 130 mm, which is the same as or slightly shorter than the depth in the container, and the short side length is set to the container. The inner diameter is 80 to 110 mm (preferably 90 to 100 mm) larger than the inner diameter. This dripper is stored in the container with the short side length part folded in half, and the length of the folded side part is 1/2 to 3/4 of the inner diameter of the container. More preferably, it is set to about 3/5 to 2/3).

Further, each of the two-fold drippers is sequentially polymerized in a vertical posture along the inner surface of the container with one longitudinal end of each of the two-fold drippers coming into contact with or close to the inner surface of the container. Each of the two-fold folded drippers is housed in a container with a vertically long space formed in the inner end thereof. The size of the vertical space surrounded by the inner edge of each double-fold dripper is determined by the ratio of the horizontal length of the double-fold dripper and the inner diameter of the container. The vertical space contains a small vertical product such as a spoon. It is necessary to secure a size that can be stored. In addition, this dripper-equipped container may be shipped with small articles such as spoons stored in the vertically long space, or the user may store the spoon, etc. after purchasing the dripper-equipped container. You may

[0012]

[Operation] Since the dripper-equipped container of the present invention uses a cylindrical container as the container, it has the same shape as a commonly used cylindrical coffee powder-containing container. For example, this dripper-containing container and coffee powder-containing container When sold together with a container as a set, or when used in the home, the two containers will become harmonious in design.

In the expanded state, the lateral length of the dripper becomes larger than the inner diameter of the container. However, since the drippers are stored in the container in a folded state, a large area ( Even if it has a lateral length larger than the inner diameter of the container in the expanded state, it can be compactly stored.

Further, in this dripper-equipped container, the lateral length of each two-fold dripping device is set to be about 1/2 to 3/4 of the inner diameter of the container, and each two-fold dripping device is placed in the container. The folded drippers are housed in such a manner that one side end in the vertical direction is in contact with or close to the inner surface of the container, and is sequentially stacked along the inner surface of the container in a vertical posture. By doing so, a vertically long space is formed in the inner end of each double-fold dripper, and the vertically long space can be used as a space for storing small articles such as spoons. If small articles such as spoons are stored in this vertically long empty space, it is not necessary to take the spoons from another storage place when extracting or drinking coffee.

[0015]

[Effect of device]

 The dripper-equipped container of the present invention has the following effects.

(1) Since a cylindrical container is used, this dripper-containing container has the same shape as a commonly-used cylindrical coffee powder-containing container. Therefore, for example, when this dripper-equipped container and coffee grounds-equipped container are sold as a set, or when used at home, the two containers become harmonious in design and look good. Become.

(2) Since each dripper is stored in the container in a folded state, the outer diameter of the entire dripper-containing container is large even if the dripper has a large area in the expanded state. Can be made compact.

(3) The horizontal length of each two-fold dripper is set to be about 1/2 to 3/4 of the inner diameter of the container, and each of the two-fold dripper has its one vertical end facing the inner surface of the container. By vertically superposing them in a vertical posture along the inner surface of the container in a state of abutting on or in close proximity to each other, a vertically long space is formed in each inner end of each of the double-fold drippers. It can be effectively used as a space for storing small items such as spoons.

The container with dripper according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 has a cylindrical container 3 in which a large number of drippers 1, 1 ... Are folded in half (state 1A). It is configured to be stored in.

The container 3 is configured by detachably screwing a lid body 32 on an upper portion of a cylindrical main body 31. As the container 3, it is preferable to use a container having the same shape as a cylindrical container generally used as a coffee powder storage container (for example, having a coffee powder content of 200 g). It is advisable to use a cylindrical container having a diameter of 80 mm (inner diameter D is about 75 mm) and a height of about 135 mm.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the dripper 1 has a container-shaped strainer on the back surface of the mount 13 which is substantially rectangular in a plane and has an opening 14 for introducing coffee powder in the vicinity of the central portion in the expanded state. The outer peripheral edge portion of the bag 21 is formed by adhering (adhesive portion 22). In the stretched state shown in FIG. 4, the dripper 1 has, for example, a lateral side length of 80 to 110 mm (preferably 90 to 100 mm) and a longitudinal side length of about 110 to 130 mm. Further, the dripper 1 has a single folding line 10 formed at the center thereof, and the folding line 10 may be mountain-folded to form a vertically long two-fold dripper 1A as shown in FIG. it can. In the state of this two-fold dripper 1A, its lateral length L (Fig. 3) is within the range of about 1/2 to 3/4 (preferably 3/5 to 2/3) of the inner diameter D of the container 3. Is set.

A pair of folding lines 20, 20, ... (A total of four) are formed on the mount 13 of the dripper 1 with the opening 14 interposed therebetween. Then, this dripper 1 is used by placing it on the cup C as shown in FIG. 6 by mountain-folding a total of four fold lines 20, 20 ... And inflating the bag 21 portion. Are able to do so.

In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, about 40 pieces of the double-folded dripper 1 A are collectively stored in one container 3. Each of the two-fold drippers 1A, 1A, ... is vertically oriented along the inner surface of the container in such a manner that one longitudinal end 11 of each of the two-fold drippers 1A is in contact with or close to the inner surface of the container 3, respectively. It is stored so that it will be polymerized with. Further, in the storage state of each two-fold dripper 1A, 1A ..., Since the lateral length L of the two-fold dripper 1A is about 1/2 to 3/4 of the container inner diameter D, each 2 A vertically long space 4 is formed at a portion surrounded by the inner ends 12, 12, ... Of the folded fold dripper 1A. The size of the vertically long space 4 is determined by the ratio of the lateral length L of the double-fold dripper 1A and the inner diameter D of the container, but the vertically long space 4 can accommodate small vertically long articles such as a spoon 5. It is necessary to ensure the size. In this dripper-equipped container, small items such as a spoon 5 may be stored in the vertically long space 4, or the user may store the spoon 5 after purchasing the dripper-equipped container.
