  The present invention relates to a lid for a beverage container to be attached to an upper opening of a container body.

  The lid attached to the container body opening of the beverage container has an outlet on the lid plate that closes the opening and an open / close lid that opens and closes the outlet, allowing drinking without removing the lid Is known.

  For example, in Patent Document 1 (Registered Utility Model No. 30018750), a peripheral wall is provided around the lid plate portion, an outlet is provided on one side of the peripheral wall, an opening / closing lid that opens and closes the outlet, and an outlet is closed. An open / close lid provided with an operation stand plate that comes into contact with the peripheral wall on the outlet forming side is pivotally connected to the cover plate portion on the side opposite to the operation stand plate, and the open / close cover is fitted when the open / close cover is open. A lid having a cutout is disclosed.

  In particular, the lid includes a protrusion provided on the inner peripheral end surface of the outlet and an engaging portion provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outlet closing portion provided on the opening / closing lid as a locking structure when the opening / closing lid is closed and opened. A structure is shown in which a protrusion is provided on the end face of the peripheral wall notch when the opening is opened, and the opening / closing lid side end face is locked by exceeding the protrusion.

  Further, in Patent Document 2 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-260544), a semicircular opening and closing provided with a peripheral wall and an outflow port as in the above-mentioned Patent Document and projecting to the opposite side of the outflow port from the center line of the lid plate portion. There is disclosed a lid body that includes a lid portion, a shaft portion is provided at a side end of the opening / closing lid portion, and the shaft portion is attached to a shaft hole provided in a peripheral wall to open / close the opening / closing lid portion.

  The lid has a locking structure at the time of closing and opening of the opening / closing lid, and moves over the steps of the uneven portion provided on the inner peripheral wall surface of the peripheral wall and the end surface of the opening / closing lid at the location near the axis at the time of closing and opening. The structure which latches by is disclosed.

  Moreover, the structure by which the drink preparation part is integrated in the cover member of a drink container is known. For example, Patent Document 3 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-253132) discloses a beverage container including a lower cylinder body having a tea strainer at the bottom and a lid body that closes an upper opening of the lower cylinder body. Yes.

Registered utility model No. 30018750. JP 2008-260544 A. JP-A-11-253312.

  As in the beverage container described in Patent Document 3 described above, the beverage preparation unit is incorporated in the lid, and the beverage preparation unit (lower cylinder) is provided so as to block the entire upper opening portion of the beverage container. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the entire lid member (the lid and the lower cylinder) from the container body when drinking tea after putting tea leaves into the tea strainer and pouring hot water into it. It's not always easy to use.

  In addition, when a lid with an open / close lid that allows drinking while the lid is attached to the container body is employed, in the lid disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the open / close lid is the center of the lid plate portion. Since it has been extended to the position, even if it tries to attach a drink preparation part to a cover plate part, sufficient size cannot be secured.

  In addition, the locking structure disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 when the open / close lid is closed and opened is a structure that locks over protrusions / projections using the elasticity of resin, but operates in the elastic direction. Since only the elasticity of the protrusions / projections provided on the base that is not used is used, the elastic range (movement distance due to elasticity) is small, and the uneven steps beyond the protrusions / projections must be reduced. Due to wear, the locking capability is quickly reduced.

  The present invention proposes a novel beverage container lid that is easy to drink.

The lid of the beverage container according to the present invention is attached to the upper opening of the beverage container, includes a peripheral wall and a lid plate that closes the upper opening, and has an outlet on one side of the lid, In the lid of a beverage container having an opening / closing lid that opens and closes the outlet, the opening / closing lid includes a lid portion that closes the outlet, and pivotally supports the opening / closing lid so as to be rotatable. Is provided inside the peripheral wall above the lid portion when fully closed, the lid portion is positioned horizontally on the peripheral wall portion when fully opened, and the peripheral wall portion on the outlet side is formed in the drinking mouth portion. Is.

  Thus, a lid is attached to a beverage container (container body) into which a beverage is injected, and the opening / closing lid of the lid body is rotated to open the outlet, thereby drinking the beverage in the container. In particular, the pivoting position of the opening / closing lid is set higher than the lid on the inside of the peripheral wall, and the lid is positioned horizontally on the peripheral wall when fully opened. There are advantages that the attached droplets do not adhere to the nose and that the opening / closing lid does not get in the way when drinking.

  In addition, the beverage container according to the present invention (Claim 2) is configured such that a portion serving as a drinking mouth portion in the peripheral wall portion is formed high, and the opening / closing lid does not get in the way when drinking more.

  The structure of the present invention is as described above, and in the lid body of the lid beverage container provided with the opening / closing lid, in particular, the pivoting position of the opening / closing lid is made higher than the lid portion, and is moved over the peripheral wall when the opening / closing lid is fully opened. The opening / closing lid does not get in the way when drinking.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. 1 to 7 show a first embodiment of the present invention, in particular, an example in which a beverage preparation unit is not incorporated.

The present invention relates to a lid B attached to a beverage container (container body) A, and the container body A is not particularly limited. However, considering the heat retaining effect, the container main body a having a stainless steel vacuum double structure and the container main body A resin shoulder b that protects the upper opening and a handle c are employed.

The lid B is attached to the upper opening of the container body A, and is composed of two members, a lid body 1 and an opening / closing lid 2.

The lid main body 1 includes a peripheral wall portion 11 fitted and attached to the upper opening portion of the container body A, and a lid plate portion 12 that closes the opening portion of the container body A at an inner lower portion of the peripheral wall portion 11. The part 12 is an inclined surface formed with a low side on one side (defined forward), the outlet 13 is provided at the lowest position, the packing 14 is provided on the lower outer periphery of the peripheral wall part 11, and the upper opening of the container body A is provided. It is fitted and mounted in a liquid sealed state.

  Further, the front portion of the peripheral wall portion 11 where the outflow port 13 is formed is formed at the drinking mouth portion 111 by raising it slightly. Moreover, the outflow port 13 is formed in the area corresponding to the magnitude | size of the cover part 21 of the opening-and-closing lid 2 mentioned later.

  The opening / closing lid 2 includes a lid portion 21 that closes the outflow port 13, support arms 22 that project from both sides of the lid portion 21, and the front peripheral wall portion 11 when the outflow port 13 is closed by the lid portion 21. And an operation knob 23 that covers the upper end of the mouthpiece 111 in a bowl shape.

  The mounting of the opening / closing lid 2 is such that the end of the support arm 22 is pivotally supported on the inner peripheral surface 112 of the peripheral wall portion so as to be rotatable. In particular, the size of the lid portion 21 is set when the outlet is fully closed. The lid portion 21 does not reach the center of the lid plate portion 12 (the front-rear center in the plan view of the lid body), and the lid portion 21 is positioned on the rear peripheral wall portion 11 when fully opened, and the lid plate portion 12 is not concealed. It is what I did. In order to realize this configuration, the end portion of the support arm 22 serving as a pivot position is formed in a shape that jumps upward when fully closed.

  In addition, the pivot structure has a shaft portion 221 projecting from the outer surface of the end portion of the support arm 22, a locking projection 222 provided on the outer periphery of the shaft portion 221, and a predetermined position on the inner peripheral surface 112 of the peripheral wall portion 11. A locking recess 114 for locking the shaft hole portion 113 and the locking projection 222 is provided at the front and rear.

  Thus, the lid B of the beverage container is used by being attached to the beverage container A, and the lid B may be attached after pouring the beverage into the beverage container A, or the lid B After installing, the outlet 13 may be opened, and the beverage may be poured from the outlet 13.

  In the state where the beverage is filled in the beverage container A, the open / close lid 2 is rotated to open the outlet 13 to drink when drinking, and the outlet 13 is closed with the open / close lid 2 when not drinking. It is something to keep.

  In particular, in the embodiment, when the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing lid 2 is performed, the locking projection 222 is fitted into the locking recess 114 on the front side when fully closed, and the opening / closing lid 2 is fully opened. When the rotation is made to shift to the position, the locking projection 222 comes out of the locking recess 114, and when the locking projection 222 is fully closed, the locking projection 222 is fitted into the locking recess 114 on the rear side and locked. Even if the beverage container is tilted, the opening / closing lid 2 is locked in a stable state, so that there is no obstacle to drinking, and the lid portion 21 is positioned horizontally on the peripheral wall portion 11 and is especially operated when fully opened. Since the knob portion 23 is also located on the outer peripheral side of the peripheral wall portion 11 and the drinking mouth portion 111 is formed high, the opening / closing lid 2 does not get in the way when drinking.

  Further, since the locking projection 222 is released from the locking recess 114 and fitted and locked when the opening / closing lid 2 is rotated, the elastic range (locking) The step) can be increased, and the durability against wear of the locking recess 114 and the locking projection 222 can be increased.

  Further, the embodiment can increase the area of the cover plate portion 12 as shown in FIG. 7, and the cover portion 21 does not interfere with the exposure of the cover plate portion 12 when fully closed and fully opened. Another advantage is that it is easy to incorporate other functional structures such as a beverage preparation section on the back surface of the plate section 12.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The second embodiment is shown in FIGS. 8 to 15, and the beverage preparation unit 4 is attached to the lid plate unit 12.

  The lid C of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment except for the structure in which the beverage preparation unit 4 is incorporated, and the same number shown in the figure is the same as the configuration of the first embodiment.

  The beverage preparation unit 4 includes a cylindrical part 41 and a net-like bottomed cylindrical part 42, and the cylindrical part 41 is formed integrally with the lid main body 1 a and is continuous with the charging port 15 provided in the lid plate part 12. The locking projection 411 is provided on the inner periphery of the bottom edge, and the locking receiving portion 412 of the inlet opening / closing lid 3 described later is formed on the inner periphery of the upper edge.

  The net-like bottomed cylinder part 42 is a container body that is sized to be inserted into the cylinder part 41 and whose peripheral surface is formed in a net-like shape, and has a locking protrusion 411 and an outer periphery of the upper edge part and the lower edge part, respectively. A projecting upper locking portion 421 and a lower locking portion 422 are provided.

  The insertion port opening / closing lid 3 is detachably attached to the insertion port 15, and is provided with a hanging locking part 31 that engages with the locking receiving part 412.

  Thus, the beverage container adopting the lid C of the second embodiment can prepare a desired beverage. The reticulated bottomed cylindrical portion 42 is drawn downward from the cylindrical portion 41, and the locking projection The meshed bottomed cylinder part 42 is suspended from the cylinder part 41 by the engagement of the part 411 and the upper locking part 421 (FIG. 12).

  Therefore, a beverage extraction target (beverage preparation) is performed by a drip method by putting a predetermined amount of a beverage extraction target to be prepared, such as tea leaves and coffee powder, from the inlet 15 and pouring hot water from the inlet 15. When a beverage with a high concentration is desired, the state where the reticulated bottomed cylindrical portion 42 is suspended from the tubular portion 41 is maintained (FIG. 13), and if an appropriate beverage concentration is obtained, the reticulated bottomed tubular portion 42 is obtained. Is pulled up into the cylindrical portion 41, and the engagement of the locking projection 411 and the lower locking portion 422 (FIG. 14) accommodates the reticulated bottomed cylindrical portion 42 in the cylindrical portion 41 and stops the beverage extraction state. .

  When drinking a beverage prepared by performing beverage extraction, the opening / closing lid 2 is rotated to open the outlet 13 and drink.

  In particular, by pulling up the net-like bottomed cylinder portion 42 to stop the beverage extraction from the extraction object, the beverage concentration does not become unnecessarily thick, and the inlet opening / closing lid 3 is removed and the inlet 15 is again opened. By pouring hot water, the drink can be re-prepared.

  As described above, the lid C 12 can have a large area in the lid C. As a result, a structure in which the beverage preparation unit 4 can be easily incorporated can be adopted, and the lid 2 can be fully opened and fully opened. Since the lid portion 21 does not block the insertion port 15 at the time, the beverage adjustment operation can be easily performed. Of course, the operation and effect when the open / close lid 2 is fully opened and fully closed are the same as in the second embodiment.

  Next, reference embodiments of the present invention will be described. The reference embodiment is shown in FIGS. 16 to 19, and the beverage preparation unit 4 a is attached to the lid plate portion 12 as in the second embodiment, but the opening / closing lid 2 a adopts the support arm structure of the present invention. This is not an example. The lid D of this reference embodiment is the same as the first embodiment and the second embodiment described above except that the beverage preparation unit 4a is incorporated and the configuration of the opening / closing lid 2a is different. The same structure as one embodiment and 2nd embodiment is shown.
