[飲料グラス用反射鏡の第1の実施の形態]
以下、本発明の飲料グラス用反射鏡の第1の実施の形態を図面を用いて示す。
図1(a)に示すように、本実施の形態の飲料グラス用反射鏡1は反射鏡本体部2と飲料用グラス10の上部開口11の端部を挿入するためのコの字の形状のコの字フレーム3と支持棒4から概略構成される。
反射鏡本体部2は板状の部材であり、コの字フレーム3と支持棒4に依って飲料用グラス10の内部に支持又は固定される。反射鏡本体部2は図1(b)のように反射鏡本体部2の上面(つまり反射鏡本体部2をグラス内部に設置した際に上部開口11に面する側の面)に光を反射する反射面8を備え、飲料用グラス10の内部の反射鏡本体部2(より厳密には反射面8)により飲料用グラス10の内部(又は内部の飲料Lに)飲料用グラス10の周辺の(映像表示装置の)映像や風景又は光を投影出来る。なお、反射面8の素材としてはステンレスやアルミ等の鏡として適した金属等が挙げられるが、アクリル等の半透明又は透明な物体を用いても良い。なお、反射鏡本体部2及び反射面8に透明又半透明な物体を用いると反射鏡本体部2が光を反射光と透過光に分けるビームスプリッターとして機能するため、通常の鏡と違い飲料用グラス10の周辺の映像や風景を半透明な状態で飲料用グラス10内部に投影出来る。反射鏡本体部2の素材には特に制限は無いが樹脂や金属等の常温では水に溶けない素材が好ましい。反射面8は飲料用グラス10内部の氷により傷付くことが有るため、反射面8が反射鏡本体部2から着脱可能にすることにより反射面8だけをサンドペーパーや砥石等で研磨できる構成にしても良い。
支持棒4は反射鏡本体部2とコの字フレーム3を支持する棒状の部材である。支持棒4の下端には反射鏡本体部2の下端(又は下端部)が接合されており、支持棒4の上端には上部開口11の端部と結合するようにコの字の形状をしたコの字フレーム3を備えている。支持棒4の材質としては金属、樹脂、ガラス等の水でふやけない材質(つまり水により変形し難い材質)が挙げられる。図1(a)のようにコの字フレーム3を上部開口11の端部に挿入した際に反射鏡本体部2(又は反射面8)は支持棒4によりコの字フレーム3より下方のエリアに支持固定または配置される。
コの字フレーム3は(飲料用グラス10の)上部開口11の端部と結合するようにコの字の形状をした部材であり、図1(b)のように上部開口11の端部をコの字フレーム3に挿入することにより飲料用グラス10の内部に反射鏡本体部2(又は反射面8)が固定される。コの字フレーム3の材質としては金属、樹脂、ガラス等が挙げられる。
図1(a)のようにコの字フレーム3と支持棒4により反射鏡本体部2(反射面8)は飲料用グラス10内部に配置されるため、ユーザーの手UHや指等でコの字フレーム3を摘まむだけで飲料グラス用反射鏡1を飲料用グラス10から着脱できる。また、飲料グラス用反射鏡1を飲料用グラス10から着脱する際は飲料用グラス10の内部の飲料Lによりユーザーの手UHが濡れる事は一切無い。
[First Embodiment of Reflector for Beverage Glass]
Hereinafter, the first embodiment of the reflecting mirror for a beverage glass of the present invention will be shown with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the beverage glass reflector 1 of the present embodiment has a U-shape for inserting the reflector main body 2 and the end portion of the upper opening 11 of the beverage glass 10. It is roughly composed of a U-shaped frame 3 and a support rod 4.
The reflector main body 2 is a plate-shaped member, and is supported or fixed inside the beverage glass 10 by a U-shaped frame 3 and a support rod 4. The reflector main body 2 reflects light on the upper surface of the reflector main body 2 (that is, the surface facing the upper opening 11 when the reflector main body 2 is installed inside the glass) as shown in FIG. 1 (b). The reflecting surface 8 is provided, and the inside of the drinking glass 10 (or the inside of the drinking glass L) is surrounded by the reflecting mirror main body 2 (more strictly, the reflecting surface 8) inside the drinking glass 10. Can project images, landscapes or light (of image display devices). Examples of the material of the reflective surface 8 include a metal suitable as a mirror such as stainless steel and aluminum, but a translucent or transparent object such as acrylic may be used. If a transparent or translucent object is used for the reflecting mirror main body 2 and the reflecting surface 8, the reflecting mirror main body 2 functions as a beam splitter that divides light into reflected light and transmitted light, so that it is used for drinking unlike a normal mirror. Images and landscapes around the glass 10 can be projected inside the drinking glass 10 in a translucent state. The material of the reflector main body 2 is not particularly limited, but a material such as resin or metal that is insoluble in water at room temperature is preferable. Since the reflective surface 8 may be damaged by the ice inside the beverage glass 10, by making the reflective surface 8 removable from the reflector main body 2, only the reflective surface 8 can be polished with sandpaper, a grindstone, or the like. May be.
The support rod 4 is a rod-shaped member that supports the reflector main body 2 and the U-shaped frame 3. The lower end (or lower end) of the reflector main body 2 is joined to the lower end of the support rod 4, and the upper end of the support rod 4 is U-shaped so as to be connected to the end of the upper opening 11. It has a U-shaped frame 3. Examples of the material of the support rod 4 include materials such as metal, resin, and glass that are not soaked in water (that is, materials that are not easily deformed by water). When the U-shaped frame 3 is inserted into the end of the upper opening 11 as shown in FIG. 1A, the reflecting mirror main body 2 (or the reflecting surface 8) is in an area below the U-shaped frame 3 by the support rod 4. Supported and fixed or placed on.
The U-shaped frame 3 is a member having a U-shape so as to be connected to the end portion of the upper opening 11 (of the drinking glass 10), and the end portion of the upper opening 11 is formed as shown in FIG. 1 (b). By inserting it into the U-shaped frame 3, the reflector main body 2 (or the reflecting surface 8) is fixed inside the drinking glass 10. Examples of the material of the U-shaped frame 3 include metal, resin, and glass.
As shown in FIG. 1A, the reflector main body 2 (reflecting surface 8) is arranged inside the drinking glass 10 by the U-shaped frame 3 and the support rod 4, so that the user's hand UH, fingers, or the like can be used to move the reflector. The reflector 1 for a beverage glass can be attached to and detached from the beverage glass 10 simply by picking the character frame 3. Further, when the reflector 1 for a beverage glass is attached to and detached from the beverage glass 10, the beverage L inside the beverage glass 10 does not wet the user's hand UH at all.

図1(b)のように上部開口11の端部をコの字フレーム3に挿入することにより飲料用グラス10の内部に反射鏡本体部2が(反射面8が飲料用グラス10の底面又は底部に対して傾斜した状態で)固定される(別の言い方をすると本発明の飲料グラス用反射鏡1では反射鏡本体部2が飲料グラス用10内に在る時には飲料用グラス10の底面に対して反射面8が傾斜するように支持棒4が反射鏡本体部2が連結または接合されている)。そのため飲料用グラス10の内部(又は内部の飲料に)飲料用グラス10の周辺の画像や風景又は光を投影出来る。
図1(a)と図1(b)中の点線の矢印は飲料用グラス10の側面から入射したグラス側面の光の光路Wのイメージを表現した物であり、図1(a)の光路Wのようにグラス側面から入射したグラス側面の像S(つまりグラス側面の風景)の光は反射面8により上部開口11の方向に反射(又は投射)される。従ってユーザーUは図1(a)のように飲料用グラス10の上部開口11側からグラス側面の像S(つまりグラス側面の風景)の反射像RSを視認する事が可能である。
一つ注意点があり、本発明の飲料グラス用反射鏡1では光路Wを遮らないように支持棒4の下端は必ず(図1(a)や図2のように)反射鏡本体部2の左端20エリアの近傍又は右端21エリアの近傍のいずれかの位置に接合されてなければならない。何故なら仮に支持棒4が光路Wを遮る位置(例えば反射鏡本体部2の中央近傍のエリア)に接合されているとユーザーUの視点の位置によっては反射像RS(グラス側面の風景)に支持棒の像が合成されてしまうからである(つまり支持棒4が反射鏡本体部2の中央近傍のエリアに接合されているとユーザーUが上部開口11から反射像RSを正常に視認するのが著しく困難になるからである)。また、支持棒4が反射鏡本体部2の中央近傍のエリアに接合されているとユーザーUが飲料用グラス10内の飲料を飲む際にコの字フレーム3がユーザーUの唇に触れてしまい危険である。
なお、本発明の飲料グラス用反射鏡1で用いる飲料用グラス10としては透明な通常のグラス(つまり透明なガラスや樹脂製のグラス又はコップ等)を想定している。
なお、反射鏡本体部2は図1(b)のように反射鏡本体部2の上面(つまり反射鏡本体部2をグラス内部に設置した際に上部開口11に面する側の面)に光を反射する反射面8を備える(別の言い方をすれば本発明の飲料グラス用反射鏡1では上部開口11の端部をコの字フレーム3に挿入することにより反射面8が上部開口11に面した状態で飲料用グラス10の内部に反射鏡本体部2が固定される)。
また、入射角と反射角が等しいという光学の基本法則により、飲料用グラス10の底部と反射鏡本体部2(又は反射面8)なす角Aが45度の場合に飲料用グラス10の側面(又は真横)から入射した光や像が上部開口11方向に形状の歪みなく投射(反射)される。
By inserting the end of the upper opening 11 into the U-shaped frame 3 as shown in FIG. 1 (b), the reflecting mirror main body 2 is formed inside the drinking glass 10 (the reflecting surface 8 is the bottom surface of the drinking glass 10 or the bottom surface of the drinking glass 10. It is fixed (in an inclined state with respect to the bottom) (in other words, in the reflector 1 for a beverage glass of the present invention, when the reflector main body 2 is inside the beverage glass 10, it is attached to the bottom surface of the beverage glass 10. On the other hand, the support rod 4 is connected or joined to the reflecting mirror main body 2 so that the reflecting surface 8 is inclined). Therefore, it is possible to project an image, a landscape, or light around the beverage glass 10 inside (or on the beverage inside) the beverage glass 10.
The dotted arrows in FIGS. 1 (a) and 1 (b) represent an image of the light path W of the light on the side surface of the glass incident from the side surface of the drinking glass 10, and the light path W in FIG. 1 (a). The light of the image S of the side surface of the glass (that is, the landscape of the side surface of the glass) incident from the side surface of the glass is reflected (or projected) in the direction of the upper opening 11 by the reflecting surface 8. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1A, the user U can visually recognize the reflected image RS of the image S on the side surface of the glass (that is, the landscape on the side surface of the glass) from the upper opening 11 side of the drinking glass 10.
One caveat is that in the beverage glass reflector 1 of the present invention, the lower end of the support rod 4 is always (as shown in FIGS. 1A and 2) the reflector main body 2 so as not to block the optical path W. It must be joined either near the leftmost 20 area or near the rightmost 21 area. This is because if the support rod 4 is joined to a position that blocks the optical path W (for example, an area near the center of the reflector main body 2), it is supported by the reflection image RS (landscape on the side surface of the glass) depending on the position of the viewpoint of the user U. This is because the images of the rods are combined (that is, when the support rod 4 is joined to the area near the center of the reflector main body 2, the user U normally visually recognizes the reflected image RS from the upper opening 11. It will be extremely difficult). Further, if the support rod 4 is joined to the area near the center of the reflector main body 2, the U-shaped frame 3 touches the lips of the user U when the user U drinks the beverage in the beverage glass 10. It is a danger.
As the beverage glass 10 used in the beverage glass reflector 1 of the present invention, a transparent ordinary glass (that is, a transparent glass, a resin glass, a cup, or the like) is assumed.
As shown in FIG. 1B, the reflector main body 2 illuminates the upper surface of the reflector main body 2 (that is, the surface facing the upper opening 11 when the reflector main body 2 is installed inside the glass). (In other words, in the reflecting mirror 1 for beverage glass of the present invention, the reflecting surface 8 becomes the upper opening 11 by inserting the end portion of the upper opening 11 into the U-shaped frame 3. The reflector main body 2 is fixed inside the drinking glass 10 in a facing state).
Further, according to the basic optical law that the incident angle and the reflection angle are equal, when the angle A formed by the bottom of the drinking glass 10 and the reflecting mirror main body 2 (or the reflecting surface 8) is 45 degrees, the side surface of the drinking glass 10 (or the side surface of the drinking glass 10 (or the reflecting surface 8). Or, the light or image incident from the side) is projected (reflected) in the direction of the upper opening 11 without distortion of the shape.

本発明の飲料グラス用反射鏡1における反射鏡本体部2と支持棒4の接合位置及びその注意点の詳細を図3を用いて説明する。
本発明の飲料グラス用反射鏡1では図1(b)や図3に示すように、飲料用グラス10の底部に対して傾斜した状態で配置される反射鏡本体部2に対して、支持棒4の下端を反射鏡本体部2の下端に接合し、支持棒4の上端にはコの字フレームを備える。
図3に示すように、反射面8がグラスの底部に対して反時計回りに45度傾斜した状態において、飲料用グラス10の左側面から入射し、反射面8で上方に反射した光や像S(反射像RS)をユーザーUが見る場合、ユーザーUはグラスの右側に居るのが好ましい。なぜなら、仮にユーザーUがグラスの左側に居るものとすると、ユーザーの体UBやユーザーUの頭部が邪魔になって光や像Sが飲料用グラス10の左側面から反射面8に入射できなくなるからである。そして、ユーザーUがグラスの右側に居ることを想定すると、支持棒4及びコの字フレーム3は飲料用グラス10の左側に位置する必要がある。なぜなら、仮に支持棒4及びコの字フレーム3がグラスの右側に位置するものとすると、コの字フレーム3が邪魔になって、ユーザーUが飲料を飲み辛くなったり、ユーザーUの唇がコの字フレームに接触して怪我をしたりするおそれがあるからである。
そこで、支持棒4の下端を、飲料用グラス10内で傾斜して配置される反射鏡本体部2の下端に接合し、支持棒4の上端にコの字フレームを接合することで、グラスの側面から入射して反射面8で上方に投射された光や反射像RS(つまり像S)をユーザーUが見やすくなり、且つ飲料Lを安全に飲むことが可能になる。また、支持棒4を反射鏡本体部2と接合することでユーザーUは飲料Lに手を入れること無しに反射鏡本体部2の着脱を行うことが可能となる。
なお、支持棒4の下端は反射鏡本体部2の下端ならどのエリアにでも接合して良い訳で無く、支持棒4の下端は反射鏡本体部2の下端且つ左右両端エリアの近傍の位置に接合されてなければならない(別の言い方をすると支持棒4の下端は反射鏡本体部2の右下近傍のエリア又は左下近傍のエリアに接合されてなければならない)。
The details of the joint position between the reflector main body 2 and the support rod 4 and the precautions thereof in the beverage glass reflector 1 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the beverage glass reflector 1 of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 (b) and 3, a support rod is provided with respect to the reflector main body 2 arranged in an inclined state with respect to the bottom of the beverage glass 10. The lower end of 4 is joined to the lower end of the reflector main body 2, and the upper end of the support rod 4 is provided with a U-shaped frame.
As shown in FIG. 3, a light or an image incident from the left side surface of the drinking glass 10 and reflected upward by the reflecting surface 8 in a state where the reflecting surface 8 is tilted 45 degrees counterclockwise with respect to the bottom of the glass. When the user U sees the S (reflection image RS), the user U is preferably on the right side of the glass. This is because, assuming that the user U is on the left side of the glass, the user's body UB and the user U's head are obstructed, and light and the image S cannot be incident on the reflecting surface 8 from the left side surface of the drinking glass 10. Because. Assuming that the user U is on the right side of the glass, the support rod 4 and the U-shaped frame 3 need to be located on the left side of the beverage glass 10. This is because, if the support rod 4 and the U-shaped frame 3 are located on the right side of the glass, the U-shaped frame 3 becomes an obstacle and the user U has difficulty drinking a drink, or the user U's lips are injured. This is because there is a risk of injury due to contact with the character frame.
Therefore, the lower end of the support rod 4 is joined to the lower end of the reflector main body 2 which is inclinedly arranged in the beverage glass 10, and the U-shaped frame is joined to the upper end of the support rod 4 to form the glass. The light incident from the side surface and projected upward by the reflecting surface 8 and the reflected image RS (that is, the image S) can be easily seen by the user U, and the beverage L can be safely drunk. Further, by joining the support rod 4 to the reflector main body 2, the user U can attach / detach the reflector main body 2 without touching the beverage L.
The lower end of the support rod 4 may not be joined to any area as long as it is the lower end of the reflector main body 2, and the lower end of the support rod 4 is located at the lower end of the reflector main body 2 and near the left and right end areas. It must be joined (in other words, the lower end of the support rod 4 must be joined to the area near the lower right or the area near the lower left of the reflector main body 2).

飲料グラス用反射鏡1を設計する上で一つ重要な注意点があり、支持棒4は反射鏡本体部2の中央部(特に反射鏡本体部2の下面で且つ中央部近傍のエリア)に接合してはならない。何故なら仮に支持棒4を反射鏡本体部2の中央部(又は中央部近傍のエリア)に取り付けると飲料用グラス10傾斜時に反射鏡本体部2の中央近傍の支持棒4と飲料用グラス10の底面の間で氷が詰まって(スタックして)しまい氷がグラスから取り出すのが困難になるからである(特に氷が複数ある場合、支持棒4が反射鏡本体部2の中央部に有ると非常にスタックしやすい)。氷を取り出しやすくする観点から支持棒4の下端は反射鏡本体部2の下端に接合(又は溶着)されている事が最も望ましい。
なお、支持棒4が反射鏡本体部2の下面の中央部に接合されている場合は大きな体積の氷を飲料用グラス10に入れる(配置する)ことは支持棒4が反射鏡本体部2の下端部に接合されている場合に比して困難である。例えば支持棒4が反射鏡本体部2の下面の中央部近傍に接合されている場合はウィスキー用の丸氷(通常は直径6[cm]~8[cm]程度)をグラス底面に入れる(配置する)事は物理的にほぼ不可能になる。
There is one important point to note when designing the reflector 1 for beverage glasses, and the support rod 4 is located in the center of the reflector body 2 (particularly on the lower surface of the reflector body 2 and in the vicinity of the center). Do not join. This is because if the support rod 4 is attached to the central portion (or the area near the central portion) of the reflector main body 2, the support rod 4 and the beverage glass 10 near the center of the reflector main body 2 are tilted when the drinking glass 10 is tilted. This is because the ice is clogged (stacked) between the bottom surfaces and it becomes difficult to remove the ice from the glass (especially when there are a plurality of ice, if the support rod 4 is located in the center of the reflector main body 2). Very easy to get stuck). From the viewpoint of facilitating the removal of ice, it is most desirable that the lower end of the support rod 4 is joined (or welded) to the lower end of the reflector main body 2.
When the support rod 4 is joined to the central portion of the lower surface of the reflector main body 2, it is possible to put (place) a large volume of ice in the drinking glass 10 so that the support rod 4 is attached to the reflector main body 2. It is more difficult than when it is joined to the lower end. For example, when the support rod 4 is joined near the center of the lower surface of the reflector main body 2, put round ice for whiskey (usually about 6 [cm] to 8 [cm] in diameter) into the bottom of the glass (arrangement). ) Things are physically almost impossible.

図4のように(コの字フレーム3を上部開口11端部に挿入時に)反射鏡本体部2の上端と飲料用グラス10の壁面(又は内壁面)の間に隙間22が出来た状態で飲料用グラス10の内部に反射鏡本体部2又は反射面8が固定されるようにしても良い(別の言い方をすれば飲料用グラス10に配置した反射鏡本体部2の上端と飲料用グラス10の壁面の間に接触しないエリアである隙間22が生じるように反射鏡本体部2の形状を工夫して設計しても良い)。
隙間22は図4のように飲料用グラス10内の飲料Lの流れ(Stream)を確保するための飲料用グラス10壁面(又は内壁面)と反射鏡本体部2の間の空間である。また隙間22により飲料用ストローを差すための空間(又はグラス底面に氷を挿入するための空間)を確保できるという大きなメリットがある。図4のように本発明の飲料グラス用反射鏡1は飲料用グラス10の内壁面と反射鏡本体部2の上端の間に隙間22(物理的な空間)が生じるようになっているため、反射鏡本体部2によりグラス内の飲料Lの流れ(Stream)が妨げられる事は無い。より具体的には反射鏡本体部2は傾斜しており且つ反射鏡本体部2上端に隙間22が存在しているため、グラス傾斜時にはユーザーUの口部に集中するような飲料Lの流れ(Stream)が自動形成される。ユーザーUは飲料用グラス10傾斜時やストロー挿入時に快適な飲料行為や飲酒を楽しめる。なお、(板状の)反射鏡本体部2のデザインは隙間22が生じるデザインであれば特に制限は無いが、図1(a)のように反射鏡本体部2の上端を直線状に加工(カット加工)する事により隙間22を生じるようにしても良い。
また、図5のように反射鏡本体部2の上端の長さを反射鏡本体部2の下端の長さより短くする(つまり反射鏡本体部2を台形形状又は台形形状に近い形状に)することにより反射鏡本体部2の左右のエリアにも隙間22を設けても良い。反射鏡本体部2を台形形状にすることにより反射鏡本体部2の下端近傍エリアの反射面8の面積を出来るだけ確保したまま隙間22の面積を増やせる。
また、隙間22が生じる程度に意図的に反射鏡本体部2(反射面8)の飲料用グラス10の底面に対する傾斜角を大きくしても良い。
As shown in FIG. 4 (when the U-shaped frame 3 is inserted into the end of the upper opening 11), a gap 22 is formed between the upper end of the reflector main body 2 and the wall surface (or inner wall surface) of the beverage glass 10. The reflector main body 2 or the reflective surface 8 may be fixed inside the beverage glass 10 (in other words, the upper end of the reflector main body 2 arranged in the beverage glass 10 and the beverage glass). The shape of the reflector main body 2 may be devised and designed so that a gap 22 which is an area that does not contact between the wall surfaces of 10 is generated).
The gap 22 is a space between the wall surface (or inner wall surface) of the beverage glass 10 and the reflector main body 2 for ensuring the flow (Stream) of the beverage L in the beverage glass 10 as shown in FIG. Further, there is a great merit that a space for inserting a drinking straw (or a space for inserting ice into the bottom surface of the glass) can be secured by the gap 22. As shown in FIG. 4, the beverage glass reflector 1 of the present invention has a gap 22 (physical space) between the inner wall surface of the beverage glass 10 and the upper end of the reflector main body 2. The reflector body 2 does not obstruct the flow of the beverage L in the glass. More specifically, since the reflector main body 2 is tilted and the gap 22 exists at the upper end of the reflector main body 2, the flow of the beverage L that concentrates on the mouth of the user U when the glass is tilted ( Stream) is automatically formed. User U can enjoy comfortable drinking and drinking when the drinking glass 10 is tilted or when a straw is inserted. The design of the (plate-shaped) reflector main body 2 is not particularly limited as long as it has a gap 22. However, as shown in FIG. 1A, the upper end of the reflector main body 2 is processed into a straight line. A gap 22 may be generated by performing a cutting process).
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the length of the upper end of the reflector main body 2 is made shorter than the length of the lower end of the reflector main body 2 (that is, the reflector main body 2 is trapezoidal or close to a trapezoidal shape). Therefore, a gap 22 may be provided in the left and right areas of the reflector main body 2. By making the reflecting mirror main body 2 into a trapezoidal shape, the area of the gap 22 can be increased while keeping the area of the reflecting surface 8 in the area near the lower end of the reflecting mirror main body 2 as much as possible.
Further, the angle of inclination of the reflecting mirror main body 2 (reflecting surface 8) with respect to the bottom surface of the drinking glass 10 may be intentionally increased to the extent that a gap 22 is generated.

図6(a)又は図6(b)のように柔軟性を有する材料から成る層5でコの字フレーム3を覆っても良い。柔軟性を有する材料から成る層5がコの字フレーム3を覆っているため様々な厚さの飲料用グラス10に反射鏡本体部2を強固に固定出来る。
飲料グラス用反射鏡1を製造する際は反射鏡本体部2と前記支持棒4とコの字フレーム3が一体成型された金属から製造(より厳密には鍛造製造又は鋳造製造)しても良い。ステンレスやアルミ等の金属はスプーン等の食器に昔から用いられているため安全性の面からも飲料グラス用反射鏡1として適している。
The U-shaped frame 3 may be covered with a layer 5 made of a flexible material as shown in FIG. 6A or FIG. 6B. Since the layer 5 made of a flexible material covers the U-shaped frame 3, the reflector main body 2 can be firmly fixed to the beverage glasses 10 having various thicknesses.
When manufacturing the reflecting mirror 1 for a beverage glass, the reflecting mirror main body 2, the support rod 4, and the U-shaped frame 3 may be manufactured from a metal integrally molded (more strictly, forging or casting). .. Since metals such as stainless steel and aluminum have been used for tableware such as spoons for a long time, they are suitable as a reflector 1 for beverage glasses from the viewpoint of safety.

本発明は、飲料用グラスの内部への着脱が容易な飲料グラス用反射鏡であり、ユーザーは飲料用グラスの内部の飲料に手を濡らす事無しに飲料用グラスの内部の反射鏡を着脱できる。ユーザーは飲料用グラスの内部の飲料に手を濡らす事無しに飲料用グラスの内部に傾斜した状態で反射鏡本体部の反射面を配置する事ができる。また飲料用グラス内壁面と反射鏡本体部の上端部の間に飲料の流量確保用の隙間(空間)が生じる構造になっているため飲料用グラス内部の飲料の流れが反射鏡本体部により妨げられる事は無い。以上より本発明は産業上の利用可能性を有する。 The present invention is a beverage glass reflector that can be easily attached to and detached from the inside of the beverage glass, and the user can attach / detach the reflector inside the beverage glass without getting his / her hand wet with the beverage inside the beverage glass. .. The user can arrange the reflective surface of the reflector main body in an inclined state inside the beverage glass without getting his / her hand wet inside the beverage glass. In addition, the structure is such that a gap (space) for ensuring the flow rate of the beverage is created between the inner wall surface of the beverage glass and the upper end of the reflector body, so that the flow of the beverage inside the beverage glass is obstructed by the reflector body. It will never be done. From the above, the present invention has industrial applicability.
