DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The drawings show a beverage container according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the beverage container includes an original container 11, a lid 12, and the lid 12. It is comprised from the several cup-shaped simple container 14 currently hold | maintained at the holding | maintenance part 13 which consists of the recessed part formed in the upper part. That is, this beverage container is a composite container.
[0009]
The original container 11 is made of a foam formed by foaming polystyrene beads, and includes a truncated cone-shaped body portion 18, and the lower end side of the body portion 18 is integrally provided as shown in FIG. 2. The bottom plate 19 is closed. A rib 20 is formed on the outer peripheral side of the upper portion of the body portion 18, and the opening edge of the upper opening 21 is reinforced by the rib 20.
[0010]
Next, the lid body 12 to be mounted so as to close the upper opening 21 of the original container 11 is a molded body formed by, for example, pressure forming or vacuum forming a polystyrene sheet, and a peripheral portion on the lower end side thereof is surrounded by a periphery. A wall 25 is formed. The peripheral wall 25 is intermittently provided with locking ribs 26 so as to protrude inward along the circumferential direction. Such a locking rib 26 is adapted to be engaged with a lower end side portion of the ring-shaped engaging portion 22 at the upper edge of the rib 20 at the peripheral edge of the upper opening 21 of the original container 11. Thus, the lid 12 is locked in a state where the upper opening 21 of the original container 11 is closed. Further, another retaining rib 27 is formed along the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral surface of the holding portion 13 formed of a recessed portion provided in the upper portion of the lid body 12, and a plurality of cup-shaped simple When the container 14 is superposed and stored in the opposite state, the cup-shaped simple container 14 is prevented from falling off.
[0011]
Next, a description will be given of the cup-shaped simple container 14 held by the holding portion 13 formed of the concave portion of the lid 12. Here, a paper cup is used as the cup-shaped simple container 14. The paper cup is obtained by winding a paper board punched in a fan shape and forming a cylinder portion with a truncated cone shape. The edge of the upper opening is wound outward to form a curled portion 32, and the periphery of the upper opening 31 The part is reinforced. Further, a bottom plate 33 is coupled to the lower end side of the body portion, thereby closing the bottom opening. Such a cup-shaped simple container constitutes a distribution container.
[0012]
Next, a method of using such a composite beverage container will be described. The original container 11 is filled with a predetermined amount of beverage, for example, a heated coffee beverage or a liquid beverage such as a cooled soft drink. Thereafter, the upper opening 21 is closed by the lid 12. The lid 12 is engaged with a ring-shaped engagement portion 22 on the upper edge of the rib 20 on the upper end side of the body portion 18 of the original container 11, with the locking rib 2 formed on the peripheral wall 25. It is stably held with the upper opening 21 closed.
[0013]
Next, for example, five paper cup simple containers 14 constituting the distribution container are overlapped, and the five superposed cup-like simple containers 14 are reversed as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. It inserts in the holding part 13 which consists of a recessed part of the cover body 12. Then, the curled portion 32 of the cup-shaped simple container 14 located on the uppermost side of the five cup-shaped simple containers 14 superposed on each other is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the holding portion 13 of the lid 12. Thus, the five cup-shaped simple containers 14 thus superposed are stably held.
[0014]
When a plurality of people drink the beverage in the original container 11, as shown in FIG. 3, first, the cup-shaped simple container 14 held by the holding portion 13 of the lid 12 is taken out, separated, and placed separately. Thereafter, the lid 12 of the original container 11 is further removed. Then, the coffee drink or soft drink in the original container 11 is poured into the cup-shaped simple container 14. As a result, a large number of people can drink together the beverage dispensed and dispensed to each cup-shaped simple container 14.
[0015]
According to such a composite beverage container, it is possible to maintain a warmed beverage or a cooled beverage at almost the same temperature by the original container 11 made of a foamed molded product. In addition, since the disposable cup-shaped simple container 14 for distributing and drinking the beverage filled in the original container 11 is held by the holding portion 13 of the lid 12 of the original container 11, It is not necessary to prepare the cup-shaped simple container 14 separately, and it becomes very easy to carry and manage the cup-shaped simple container 14 constituting the distribution container.
[0016]
In particular, when such a composite beverage container is a container having a capacity of about 1000 to 1500 cc as the original container 11, the original container 11 can be used like a simple bottle, water bottle, or thermos. . And the drink with which such an original container 11 is filled can be filled with the cup-shaped simple container 14 for distribution currently hold | maintained at the cover body 12, and can be drunk. Therefore, the lid 12 has a function of a dispenser for the cup-shaped simple container 14. Therefore, using such a composite container, it is possible to easily take out the cup-shaped simple container 14 and drink a beverage regardless of whether it is indoors or outdoors.
[0017]
FIG. 4 shows the change in temperature with respect to time when such a composite beverage container is filled with coffee, particularly in the original container 11. This temperature was measured using a foamed molded container having a capacity of 1500 cc as the original container 11, filled with 750 cc of heated coffee and measuring how the temperature changes with time. It is. As is apparent from the measurement results, according to the original container 11, it is possible to minimize a decrease in temperature, and as long as the time is substantially about 30 minutes, it can be used as a heat insulation container or a cold insulation container. It turned out to be possible.
[0018]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the present invention comprises an original container filled with a beverage and a plurality of cup-shaped simple containers having the same shape and size for dispensing and injecting the beverage in the original container. A plurality of cup-shaped cups having the same shape and dimensions, each of which includes a distribution container and a holding portion including a recessed portion whose upper portion is opened upward , and which closes the upper opening of the original container . A plurality of dispensing containers are reversed and held in the holding part of the lid body, and the curl part on the outer peripheral side of the opening of the uppermost dispensing container is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the recessed part It is intended to be locked by a rib for use .
