Description

[0001]
[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a mudler, particularly a mudler suitable for use with a takeaway drinking container.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a take-out drinking container, a disposable cup with a disposable lid is generally used. If you want to drink a beverage from a container with such a lid, you must remove the lid, but it is extremely inconvenient if you can use only one hand. In addition, there are problems such as spilling due to the shaking of the car when drinking while moving in the car.
[0003]
On the other hand, a lid has been proposed in which an opening is provided in a part of the lid so that a drinking mouth is formed, and the lid is made to drink directly from the opening or through a straw (for example, Japanese Utility Model Sho 63- 192265 publication). The mouthpieces opened in these lids usually remain open and are not sealed. Therefore, it is inevitable that the internal solution spills out when the cup falls. Moreover, since it does not have a sealing means, there exists a fault which cannot block an opening, for example, when stopping drinking on the way, for example.
[0004]
On the other hand, in the case of coffee, tea, etc., when sugar or milk is added, a mudler is used to agitate it. In the case of a take-away cup drink, it is generally supplied as a separate accessory from the cup. Conventionally, this type of mudler is often made of plastic with a small stirring part formed at the tip of the stick, which is a handle, but these only have a function for stirring. There were many troubles with the place and it was thrown away.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As mentioned above, since the cup with a lid with a conventional drinking mouth opened is in an open state, the opening is small, but not only the internal solution leaks out when it vibrates or falls, There are problems such as invasion of dust and dirt or direct contact of the internal solution with the outside air. Therefore, it is desirable to be able to seal the opening at least when, for example, purchasing from a store and taking it home, or when drinking is temporarily interrupted. However, if the lid is provided with a means for sealing the opening serving as a drinking mouth, the cost increases accordingly, and it is difficult to adopt in a disposable cup. On the other hand, the conventional disposable mudler is supplied as an accessory separately from the drink with a cup, but it is too small to drop in the middle of carrying it because it is small, and it is troublesome to store what has been used once in a clean state, Usually, it is discarded after the first use. Therefore, it is inconvenient to use again during drinking or when drinking again after stopping drinking.
[0006]
The present invention is intended to provide a mudler that can solve the above problems all at once, and the disposable mudler not only has a stirring function, but also has a function of sealing the drinking mouth of the cup lid, and is very inexpensive. It aims to provide a muddler that can solve the problem.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A mudler according to the present invention that solves the above-mentioned problems is a mudler used with a cup that is provided with an opening in a part of a lid and drinks from the opening. An opening sealing portion is provided that fits into the opening and seals the opening. More specifically, the opening sealing portion includes a hook engaging with the upper end of the opening of the lid, and subsequently a fitting portion having substantially the same cross section as the opening.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, specific description will be given with reference to the drawings.
In the mudler of this embodiment, as shown in a front view (a), a side view (b), and a plan view (c) in FIG. Following this, the flange portion 4 and the fitting portion 5 are formed. The fitting portion 5 is formed in a cross-sectional shape that matches the shape of the opening so as to be closely fitted in the drinking mouth opening of the lid, and in the present embodiment, is formed in a substantially cross-sectional ellipse shape as illustrated. And when engaging with a drinking mouth, an outer peripheral part is a taper shape so that the cross-sectional area may become large gradually from the bottom so that it may be easy to insert in a drinking mouth and closely fit. Further, the jaw portion is formed in a flange shape to the outside from the upper end edge of the fitting portion 5 so as to cover the drinking mouth and come into contact with the outer peripheral surface thereof, so that the mudler does not fall into the cup. In addition to the locking function, the opening is sealed. In addition, the stirring part 2 is formed in the magnitude | size which can pass freely through the drinking mouth of a lid | cover.
[0009]
In this embodiment, the heel part 4 and the fitting part 5 constitute an opening sealing part that seals the drinking mouth, but the sealing function of the opening does not necessarily have to be fulfilled by both, only the jaw part. Or you may comprise so that it may fulfill | perform only by a fitting part.
[0010]
FIG. 2 shows the state of use, and a cup 7 containing a beverage 6 such as coffee or tea is covered with a lid 8. The lid body 8 is provided with an opening 9, and this opening 9 serves as a drinking mouth that can be drunk with the lid on when the beverage as the contents is to be drunk. When carrying or when stopping drinking, the mudler 1 of the present invention is inserted and fitted into the opening 9 as shown in the figure. Thereby, the opening 9 is covered and sealed with the flange portion 4, and the fitting portion 4 is fitted into the opening 9, so that the opening 9 does not come off.
[0011]
Therefore, when a beverage container is provided in a store, if the mudler of this embodiment is inserted into the opening, the purchaser can keep the cup sealed until it is beveraged, which is convenient for carrying around. Yes, it is easy to handle without forgetting the mudler or dropping it on the way. In the case of beverages, the lid 8 can be removed and sugar, milk or the like can be added as necessary, and then stirred by the mudler 1 and then the lid 8 can be put again to drink from the opening 9. When you stop drinking, if you insert a mudler into the opening 9, it will be tightly sealed again by the collar 4 and the fitting part 5, so there is no risk of the beverage leaking due to shaking or falling of the cup. Or you can place it in the car, and you won't have to worry about where the used Madler is.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
The mudler of the present invention can function not only as a mudler as described above, but also as a beverage container sealing device, and can be provided with a simple configuration at a cost comparable to that of an ordinary mudler. Thus, it is an invention having excellent practicality that can solve the problems of conventional drinking cup drinks at once.
