Description

  The present invention relates to tableware for drinking that is easy to drink and difficult to spill.

  At present, containers such as hot drinks, coffee cups, and glass cups are used as tableware for drinking.

  For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a tableware that can suppress the repetition of head movement without requiring specific training, etc., and in the drinking operation and swallowing operation of the food that becomes a fluid system, The purpose is to reduce head movement to a small angle.

JP 2010-193981 A

  However, there was no tableware that was easy to drink and difficult to spill, mainly due to the relationship between the tilt of the tableware and the lips.

  Therefore, the present invention has an object to provide drinking tableware that is easy to drink and hard to spill from the edge shape of the tableware for drinking and the shape of the tableware mainly from the relationship between the inclination of the tableware for drinking and the lips.

In order to solve the above problems, a tableware for drinking according to one aspect of the present invention is as follows.
Provide a mouthpiece at the opening,
The drinking mouth portion has a drinking mouth wall surface near the opening side of the wall surface rising from the bottom,
The drinking wall surface is lowered to the bottom side from the opening, and has a shape protruding outward from the periphery of the opening.

  According to the present invention, the fluid inside the tableware stably flows out when tilting, and quickly and stably flows into the oral cavity because it follows the shape of the oral cavity that receives the fluid. Further, even if the water level (fluid surface position) of the fluid at the drinking mouth portion due to the inclination rises, it is difficult to overflow from the outer wall near the opening portion, so that drinking is reduced. In addition, it is possible to prevent clothes and the like from being dirty due to spilling, and reduce waste. In particular, it is easy for children and elderly people to drink, and it is possible to prevent or reduce the behavior caused by the flow of an unexpected fluid when tilted and flowing into the bronchi.

  Also, the act of spilling the elderly can lead to the act of raising the human mind. Such actions can be prevented or reduced.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<First embodiment>
Fig.1 (a) is a front view of the drinking tableware 1 which concerns on 1st embodiment of this invention. FIG. 1B is a right side view thereof. (C) is a plan view thereof.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 (a), (b), and (c), the drinking tableware 1 is a substantially cylindrical container with a slightly narrowed bottom portion 12, and a drinking mouth portion 11 is provided in a part of the opening portion 14. Is. The drinking mouth portion 11 has a portion near the opening 14 of the wall surface 13 rising from the bottom portion 12 as a drinking mouth wall surface 11m, lowers the drinking mouth wall surface 11m to the bottom portion 12 side from the opening portion 14, and protrudes outward from the periphery of the opening portion 14. It is a thing.

  That is, the edge 11a of the drinking mouth part 11 is formed in a “U” shape when viewed from above, and is separated from the central axis of the cylindrical container toward the tip, and is lowered to the bottom 12 side. The edge 11 a of the drinking mouth part 11 is inclined with respect to the edge surface of the surrounding opening 14.

  Here, the effect | action of the tableware 1 for drinking is demonstrated.

  Fig.11 (a) is the figure which showed the flow of the internal water when the normal cup 80 containing water was inclined. At the time of the first tilt, the water is collected on the side surface of the cup 80 in the tilt direction, and when it is further tilted, it can be seen that the water inside flows out.

  As conditions for tableware that is easy to drink at the time of drinking, (1) the fluid always flows in the tilt direction even when the fluid content changes, (2) the flow is always smooth, (3) everything flows out with less inclination, Can be considered.

  FIG.11 (b) shows the flow of the water at the time of inclination at the time of putting water into the tableware 1 for drinking of 1st embodiment shown in FIG. From the beginning of the tilt, it can be seen that it tends to flow in the tilt direction.

  The operation of this shape will be described with reference to FIG. Fig. 13 (a) is a tableware 1 'having a shape that is in the same plane as the edge surface of the opening portion 14' without tilting the edge surface of the drinking mouth portion 11 '. It is the drinking tableware 1 which concerns on this 1st embodiment. In the drinking tableware 1 ′ in FIG. 13A, when the drinking mouth part 11 ′ is placed on the lips and the water level of the tilted container rises, water is likely to spill from the gap between the lips and the container. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13 (b), in the case of the tableware 1 for drinking, since the tip of the mouth part 11 is slightly lowered in the direction of the bottom part 12, the mouth wall surface 11m becomes a “wall” and is tilted. Even if the water level sometimes increases, it is difficult for water to spill from the lips.

  When the container is tilted, it is difficult to spill the drink when drinking. Factors such as an average flow, and even the movement of the hand holding the container are listed. According to the drinking tableware 1 of this embodiment, these problems can be solved.

<Second Embodiment>
Fig.2 (a) is a front view of the tableware 2 for drinking which concerns on 2nd embodiment of this invention. FIG. 2B is a right side view thereof.

  The tableware 2 for drinking has the shape similar to the tableware 1 for drinking of FIG. 1, but is different in the following points. That is, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), the drinking portion 11a and the edge 14a of the opening 14 located on the opposite side of the drinking portion 11 are so that they are "shaped" in a side view. An edge 14b close to the mouth 11 is raised upward. In other words, the edge 14b between the drinking mouth part 11 and the portion of the edge 14a of the opening 14 located on the opposite side of the drinking mouth part 11 is provided so as to be located at the upper part thereof.

  The operation of this shape will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14A is the drinking tableware 1 according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 14B is the drinking tableware 2 according to the second embodiment. In the drinking tableware 1 of FIG. 14 (a), when the drinking mouth part 11 is put on the lips and the water level of the inclined container rises excessively, water is likely to spill from the gap between the lips and the container. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 14B, in the case of the tableware 2 for drinking, since the edge 14b close to the drinking mouth 11 is raised, it is difficult for water to spill from the lips even if the water level increases when tilting.

<Third embodiment>
Fig.3 (a) is a front view of the tableware 3 for drinking which concerns on 3rd embodiment of this invention. FIG. 3B is a right side view thereof.

  The drinking tableware 3 has a shape similar to that of the drinking tableware 2 of FIG. 2, but differs in the following points. That is, the drinking tableware 3 is characterized in that the drinking mouth wall surface 11m is curved in a side view. The flow of water flows more smoothly than the tableware 2 for drinking, and it becomes easy to drink smoothly. FIG. 15 is a three-dimensional view of the drinking mouth 11 of the tableware 3 for drinking. As shown in this figure, the mouth surface line 11e and the outer surface line 11f where the lips hit are curved surfaces, and the inner surface line of the edge 11a is also along the outer surface line 11f. It is what flows in.

  FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating another modified example in which the shape of the tip of the drinking mouth portion 11 is a curved shape. FIG. 16 (a) shows a state in which a beverage is poured into the oral cavity using a conventional tableware having a round mouth as a comparative example, and FIG. 16 (b) shows a tableware 3 for drinking according to this modification. The state which pours a drink in an intraoral area is shown. FIG. 16C is a three-dimensional representation of the vicinity of the tip. In this modification, the mouth surface line 11e formed by the edge 11a of the drinking mouth part 11 has a shape that draws a concave curve in accordance with the lip shape. In this way, by matching the edge curve and the lip curve, the edge 11a of the drinking mouth portion 11 fits to the lips, the fluid is not easily spilled, and a smooth feeling can be given.

  The drinking tableware 3 according to the present modification further includes a handle portion 40 in the body portion of the container between the direction perpendicular to the drinking mouth direction and the facing direction. An example is shown in which the user holds the wall of the container, puts a finger through the handle 40 and supports the back of the hand 60. The handle portion 40 makes it easier for the user to hold the drinking tableware 3 and makes it easier to use. Further, by directly holding the wall of the container, heat and coldness are easily transmitted. FIG. 16D shows a modification in which the wall surface 13 has a two-layer structure 13s, the inside is hollow, and heat is not easily transmitted. In addition, heat transfer may be prevented by attaching a silicon cover or the like to the surface of the container. This also eases slipperiness.

  FIG.3 (c) is a front view of another modification 3a of the tableware 3 for drinking which concerns on 3rd embodiment. FIG. 3D is a right side view thereof.

  As shown in FIG.3 (d), the shape of the drinking mouth wall surface 11 is formed so that the inner side may become an inner curved surface. Thereby, the effect which produces the protrusion (pushing flow of the inclination direction) of the fluid which flows from the front-end | tip of the drinking mouth 11 is expectable.

  The drinking mouth 11 may be further configured as follows.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the drinking mouth wall surface 11 m may be curved with a curvature radius of about 5 mm along the outer shape of the lips 50. It fits the roundness of the lips and gives a smooth sensation to the lips 50 when drinking, and also makes it difficult to spill.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the drinking mouth wall surface 11 m may be curved and the vicinity of the edge tip 11 p may be inflated. By doing so, since the upper part touching the lips 50 is rounded, the edge of the container is difficult to escape from the lips, and it is possible to drink stably. In addition, since the edge tip 11p is thick and round, the feeling of smoothness is increased, and even when manufactured with ceramics or porcelain, it is difficult to break. When manufactured with plastic or the like, the edge 11a is not easily damaged, and corners and cracks are not easily generated. A smooth sensation is sustained.

  The drinking tableware 4 has a shape similar to any of the drinking tableware 1, 2, and 3 in FIGS. 1 to 5, but further includes the following features. That is, the drinking tableware 4 is a container provided with an inclined wall surface 13m having a gentle inclination with the angle θ of the wall surface from the bottom portion 12 to the drinking wall surface 11m being 80 degrees or less.

  FIG. 7A is a modified example of the tableware 4 of FIG. 6, and is a tableware 4a having a curved bottom portion 12m having a curved surface with a radius of curvature of 2 cm or more from the bottom portion 12 to the inclined wall surface 13m. It is a front view. FIG. 7B is a right side view thereof.

  FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b) show the flow of water at the time of tilting when water is put into the above-mentioned drinking tableware 4 and 4a. As shown to Fig.12 (a), in order to provide the inclined wall surface 13m along a drinking mouth, a fluid content flows more smoothly. As shown in FIG. 12 (b), it can be seen that the vicinity of the bottom surface is round so that it flows more smoothly. Moreover, it turns out that the inclination | tilt angle which can flow all the fluids may be small compared with the thing without the inclination wall surface 13m shown to Fig.11 (a) (b).
