Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a disposable tea cup using a tea bag, and is particularly characterized in that a tea bag and a tea bag holder are loaded into a container and sealed. .

(Prior art) When drinking sencha or black tea, drinking utensils such as a teapot or teapot are required. For this reason, drinking these drinks is limited to places where designated drinking utensils are available, and even if drinking utensils are available, preparing them and cleaning up afterwards is a hassle, so it is best used when you are in a hurry or want to drink easily. It is inappropriate if

Furthermore, tea bags have conventionally been used to save the above-mentioned effort.

This is a method in which a water-permeable bag is filled with drinking ingredients such as green tea or black tea, which are then immersed directly into hot water in a teacup or teacup, and no drinking utensils are required. You can easily drink sencha or black tea because you don't have to worry about preparing it and cleaning up afterwards, but on the other hand, green tea and other tea that are filled into tea bags require processing to increase the dissolution of soluble components. Since it has no choice but to add ingredients, it has the disadvantage of being inferior in taste and aroma compared to regular products.

As a measure to solve this problem, the present inventor invented a hot water pot that has the function of tea utensils such as a teapot or teapot, and has already filed an application for the invention on February 12, 1988. This hot water dispenser is equipped with a tea bag holder consisting of a weight part and a knob part, and the tea bag holder applies pressure to the tea bag to push out the hot water inside the bag. Since the elution of the ingredients is promoted, there is no need to add any treatment to increase the elution property, and you can enjoy high-quality sencha and black tea with high taste and aroma.

(Problems with the prior art) The above-mentioned hot water cup is used for green tea, black tea, etc. that is filled in a water-permeable bag in a fixed amount in the same manner as the conventional tea bag, and moreover, the tea bag soaked in hot water can be used from a hot water cup. Operation has become even easier as there is no need to take it out, but
Since the container and the tea bag holder are formed separately, the place where this is used is the same as when using a tea bag.
For example, the range of use was limited because it was limited to places such as the home where the two could be kept separately.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention is directed to drinks such as green tea, black tea, or coffee that are filled in water-permeable bags in fixed amounts, and are simple and disposable that can be used outdoors or in train cars. The purpose is to provide hot water.

(Summary of the invention) The hot water cup according to the present invention consists of a container, a tea bag holder, and a top lid, and a bag filled with a predetermined amount of green tea, black tea, coffee, etc. is placed in the container, and the tea bag holder is further loaded into the container. It was designed to be sealed with a top lid.

(Example 1) Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described based on illustrated examples.

FIG. 1 is an r1 perspective view showing an embodiment of a hot water cup according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view, in which reference numeral 1 indicates a container;
2 is a tea bag holder, and 3 is an upper lid.

The container 1 corresponds to a drinking vessel such as a hot water cup or a teapot, and at the same time, it can also be used as a storage container for drinking materials such as green tea, black tea, or coffee, as well as a teapot, tea pot, etc.
It also functions as a tea utensil, such as a coffee pot, and is equipped with a water-permeable bag filled with drinking materials (each with a front collar).
A tea bag holder 2 is loaded into the tea bag, and the tea bag holder 2 is sealed with a top lid 3. When drinking sencha, etc., the top lid 3 is removed and hot water is poured into the tea bag. .

The tea bag holder 2 promotes the elution of the drinking ingredients from the drinking material in the tea bag T when a predetermined amount of hot water is poured into the container 1, and is made up of a stick 4 and a pressing piece 6. A knob 5 is formed at the upper end, and by pinching this knob, pressure is applied to the tea bag T to force out the eluate inside the bag into hot water.

The code 7 is a hook. This product is designed so that the tea bag holder 2 does not get in the way when drinking after the elution operation of the drinking ingredients is finished, and the tea bag T
It is formed on the back of the upper end of the tea bag holder 2, and by pinching the upper edge of the container 1, the tea bag holder 2 is prevented from floating up.
is fixed to the container.

(Embodiment 2) FIGS. 3 and 4 show another embodiment in which, instead of forming a hook 7 on the tea bag holder 2 and fixing the tea bag holder 2 to the container 1, A sliding groove is formed in the upper part of the tea bag holder 2, and the tea bag holder 2 is supported by this sliding groove.

That is, these are basically the same as those shown in Example 1, except that the tea bag holder 22 is supported by a sliding groove 28 formed on the inside upper part of the container 21. , container 21 and top lid 23. and a tea bag holder 22, and the container 21 is loaded with the tea bag T and the tea bag holder 22, and is sealed with an upper lid 23.

The sliding groove 28 supports the tea bag holder 22 and holds the container 2.
This prevents the stick 24 from falling forward when drinking green tea, etc., and also prevents the Teiba Soge T from floating up.The opening part is slightly narrower than the width of the Stay Tsuku 24, and the pocket part is the same. The stick 24 is inserted through this width. In addition, in the figure, container 2
1 is formed using a paper tube, and a cap 29 molded using a material having appropriate elasticity such as polyethylene is attached to this to prevent the upper edge from being exposed. is formed integrally with the cab 29.

By the way, in this embodiment, the Tiber/Y-gage presser 22 is formed by forming the stick 24, the pressing piece 26, the knob 25, and the reinforcing member 30 into a flat shape in advance, and then standing up the stick 24 and the reinforcing member 30. This requires time and effort to assemble the tea bag holder 22, but on the other hand, it facilitates handling from the time of forming to the time of loading the tea bag into the container 21.

To use this hot water cup, first put the tea bag T into the container 21, then load the tea bag holder 22 into it, push the stick 24 into the sliding groove 28, and then put the top lid 23 into the container 21. Attach the container to seal the inside of the container, and store, transport, sell, carry, and otherwise handle the container in this state.

When drinking sencha etc., remove the top lid 23 and use the container 2.
Open 1 and pour the desired amount of hot water into it. A portion of the hot water enters the tea bag T and the soluble components of the drinking material are eluted therein, so the tea bag T is lightly compressed by pinching the knob 25 of the tea bag holder 22 and pushing it down. The eluate is then forced out of the bag.

When the pressure is released, new hot water enters the teaba soge T and dissolves the soluble components of the drinking material again, so if you repeat this operation several times, the concentration of hot water in the container 21 will gradually increase, and eventually the desired concentration will be obtained. becomes. Even if you take your finger off the knob 25, the tea bag holder 22 remains in the stain 24
is inserted into the sliding groove 28 and supported by it, so that the liquid inside can be drunk.

(Effects) As described in detail above, the present invention is a container in which a teabag T is placed in a container, a teabag holder is loaded, and the container is sealed. It can be drunk anywhere where it is prepared, so it can be used widely, such as outdoors or in a train car.
