  Hereinafter, embodiments of a shaker of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 show one embodiment of the shaker of the present invention.
This shaker is used for preparing food and drink by stirring liquid and solid content, and includes a container body 1 forming a liquid storage space 11, a lid 2 forming a liquid stirring space 21, The packing member 3 which is sandwiched between the upper edge 12 of the container body 1 and the step 22 formed on the inner surface of the lid 2 so as to maintain watertightness between the container body 1 and the lid 2. Become.

  The packing member 3 partitions the liquid storage space 11 and the liquid stirring space 21, and has a through hole 31 through which the liquid flows between the liquid storage space 11 and the liquid stirring space 21. An undercut portion 23 in which the outer peripheral edge 32 of the member 3 is formed on the inner surface of the lid 2 (here, the undercut portion 23 is constituted by a concave groove between the step portion 22 and the packing member stopping ridge 24. ) To form an integral structure that can be separated from the lid 2.

  In this case, the size of the liquid storage space 11 of the container body 1 is set to a size corresponding to the amount of the food to be prepared, specifically, a size of about 110 to 150% of the amount of the food to be prepared. It is desirable to do.

  In addition, the size of the liquid stirring space 21 of the lid 2 may be a size corresponding to the amount of the food to be prepared, specifically, about 30 to 80% of the amount of the food to be prepared. desirable.

The container main body 1 and the lid 2 are screwed together via a packing member 3 (in this embodiment, a double-threaded screw 13 is used as a screwing means so that the attaching / detaching operation of the lid 2 can be performed quickly. , 25 are provided.) And a fixing means such as a fitting means, so that water tightness between the container body 1 and the lid 2 is maintained.
Here, in order to enhance watertightness, a ring-shaped thin ridge (contact ring) can be formed on the step portion 22 formed on the inner surface of the lid 2 with which the packing member 3 contacts.

  The packing member 3 is made of a relatively soft and flexible material such as a polyethylene resin so as to maintain the watertightness of the shaker to prevent liquid leakage at the time of stirring and to allow the packing member 3 to be easily attached to and detached from the lid 2. Various soft synthetic resins such as polyolefin resins, silicone resins, thermosetting resin-based elastomers, foams, and the like, or blends of these synthetic resins can be suitably used.

As shown in FIG. 2, the packing member 3 is formed in a dish shape with its peripheral edge raised, and a through hole 31 through which the liquid flows between the liquid storage space 11 and the liquid stirring space 21 is formed in a rotationally symmetric manner. To do.
In this case, it is preferable to form the upper surface of the packing member 3 so that the center portion side is lower so that the food or drink prepared on the packing member 3 does not remain.

The shape of the through-hole 31 formed in the packing member 3 can be any shape as shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C, but the peripheral length of the inner peripheral edge of the through-hole 31 must be increased. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, a through hole 31 is formed at least in the center of the packing member 3, and the inner peripheral edge of the through hole 31 faces in the radial direction. It is preferable to form it into a shape having a recess cut out by cutting.
As described above, by increasing the peripheral length of the inner peripheral edge of the through-hole 31, the stirring efficiency is increased, and the solid content (for example, a powdery or granular supplement or the like) that is difficult to dissolve in the liquid is removed from the liquid (for example, water). And milk) can be dissolved (or dispersed) reliably in a short time.
As shown in FIG. 3, the packing member 3 is formed in a three-dimensional dish shape with the peripheral edge raised and a step provided, and the liquid storage space 11 and the liquid storage space 11 are rotationally symmetrically provided on the rising surface. It is also possible to form a through hole 31 through which the liquid flows with the stirring space 21.

  The total area of the through-holes 31 formed in the packing member 3 is determined in consideration of the flow resistance of the liquid (if the flow resistance is too large, the flow of the liquid is hindered and the stirring efficiency is reduced. If it is too small, the liquid will flow without being stirred and the stirring efficiency will be reduced.), And about 25% to 60%, preferably about 30% to 50% with respect to the opening area of the container body 1 (here, about 30% to 50%). 2 (a): 45%, FIG. 2 (b) 55%, and FIG. 2 (c) 35%).

The shaker of the present embodiment having the above configuration has the following operation and effects.
