Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to an extraction container containing raw materials, and more specifically, it is mainly used for automatic beverages that are hermetically sealed in a container together with a filtering member for extracting coffee, tea, etc. This invention relates to an extraction container containing raw materials used in a vending machine.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as an extraction device for extracting raw materials in an extraction container with hot water to make it drinkable, a coffee storage chamber is provided at the bottom of a hot water receiver, and the coffee is A hot water inlet through which the hot water stored in the hot water receptor passes is formed in the upper and lower plates of the storage chamber, and a filter material is installed in the hot water outlet provided in the lower plate, and the entire hot water receptor is coated. Coffee storage containers are well known which are characterized by being coated with.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

In the conventional technology described above, there are hot water inlets on the partition plate of the hot water receptor and the bottom plate of the container, and the coffee (raw material) is extracted with the hot water that passes through the hot water outlet on the top, and the raw material is extracted by filtering it with a filter medium. The liquid is dripped into a coffee bowl through a spout at the bottom for drinking.

The coffee material on the filter medium 10 needs to be protected from atmospheric moisture entering through the hot water outlet, and since the entire hot water receptor is covered with a film, multiple hot water receptors cannot be bonded together, so they are stored. There is a problem in that a large amount of space is required for storage and transportation, and since handling must be done one by one, a separate tray is required for storing and transporting a large number of items.

Furthermore, in use, it is necessary to remove the film that covers the entire hot water receptor, making it extremely difficult to apply it to beverage vending machines, and the film itself and its coating process are required for shipping. There is also the problem that it is disadvantageous in terms of cost and that the product does not look good when sold in stores.

In order to eliminate each of the above-mentioned problems, this invention enables containers to be hermetically sealed by fitting them in stacks one after the other, protecting raw materials from moisture, and allowing for automatic supply and extraction of raw materials. The purpose is to facilitate the disposal of slag.

[Means to solve the problem]

The purpose of this invention described above is to put a certain amount of raw material into a container in which a filtration member is stretched inside a bottom plate with an opening, and a sealing member that covers almost the entire surface of the bottom plate is attached to the outside of the bottom plate. This is achieved by attaching a sealing member to a stepped portion formed at the lower part of the side wall of the container to airtightly seal the raw material, constructing an extraction container containing the raw material, and polymerizing this extraction container containing the raw material up to the stepped portion. Ru.

[Effect]

After removing the sealing member attached to the step formed at the bottom of the container via the pull string and removing the sealing member on the outside of the bottom plate via the tabs, hot water is supplied into the extraction container. The raw material in the extraction container can be extracted with hot water, and the extracted raw material liquid flows down through the filtration member into the lower drinking container and can be drunk.

〔Example〕

The raw material extraction container 5 of this invention is composed of an extraction container 1, seal members 2, 4, and a filter member 3, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3.

The container 1 is made of synthetic resin for casting, and includes a raw material storage portion 14 formed of a bottom plate 12 having an opening 11 and a side wall 13 that slopes inward.
Step portion 1 extending horizontally outward from the upper edge of the side wall
5, a side wall 16 which is slightly inclined outward from this outer edge and has a curl 17 on the edge, and a hot water pouring part 18 which temporarily stores hot water for extraction.

The seal members 2 and 4 are attached to the bottom plate 1 by holding thick paper sheets.
2, the seal body 21, 41 is large enough to cover almost the whole of the seal body 21, 41.
and a tab 22 for peeling off the seal on a part of its periphery.
42, and one or both surfaces of the seal body and tab are coated with a synthetic resin thin film.

The filter member 3 is made of a filter material made of natural or synthetic fibers made of paper, twisted, or woven, and processed into a size that substantially covers the entire inner surface of the bottom plate 12.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the extraction container 5 containing raw materials of this invention has a filter member 3 attached to the inside of the bottom plate 12 of the container 1 using a glue that does not pose a problem in terms of food hygiene. The sealing member 2 is adhered so as to maintain airtightness by a method that does not cause peeling or hygienic problems.

Next, put one person's worth of raw material 6 such as medium-finely ground regular coffee or black tea into the raw material storage part 14, and attach the sealing member 4 on the stepped part 15 at the bottom of the hot water pouring part 18 in the same manner as described above. By attaching both the seal members 2 and 4, the raw material 6 is hermetically sealed within the raw material storage section 14.

A pull string 7 is attached to the tab 42 of the seal member 4 to pull it out of the container.

The raw material-containing extraction containers 5, which individually accommodate raw materials for one person and are hermetically sealed, are stacked in a predetermined number of stages in order and stored in a beverage vending machine, as shown in FIG.

The extraction container 5 containing raw materials of this invention is constructed as described above, and when in use, it is stored in a beverage vending machine (not shown) and sealed one by one in the extraction part 81 of the vending machine by the customer's purchase operation. Part 2,
4 is pulled out or holes are made in the seal members 2 and 4 with a hole punching member, and then hot water is poured from the hot water supply nozzle 82 into the extraction container 5 containing the raw material.

The funnel-shaped hopper 83 pioneered this hot water supply operation.
A drinking container 9 is automatically taken out from below, and the amount of sugar preselected by the customer is contained in this drinking container 9.
Milk etc. are supplied, and then boiling water is poured into the container to extract regular coffee.

When one cup of coffee has been extracted, the sweeper 84 operates, and after the extraction is completed, the brewing container 5 with remaining dregs is discharged from above the brewing part 81 into an unillustrated extraction container collection tank for the next customer. goes into standby mode.

Note that if the area around the raw material 6 between the seal members 2 and 4 is filled in advance with an inert gas such as nitrogen gas, oxidation and deterioration of the raw material can be prevented.

Note that the polymer in the raw material-containing extraction container according to this invention can also be drunk manually by dripping the extract from the raw material-containing extraction container 5 into the drinking container 9.

[Effect of idea]

Since this invention is configured as described above, it produces the effects described below.
