Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a stopper with a beer pouring device used as a container for canned beer or the like.

[Prior Art] This type of beer container generally has an opening section on the top plate, and the beer inside can be drunk directly by removing a pull tab or the like blocking the opening section.

By the way, there are cases where beer from this type of beer container is transferred to a container such as a cup or a cup and drunk.In that case, if the beer is simply transferred from the beer container to the container, it will not produce fine foam like draft beer. Instead, only a small amount of large bubbles are generated, and these bubbles do not last long and disappear quickly, so not only does it look bad, but it also fails to produce the soft taste characteristic of beer. However, when pouring the beer in the beer container into the receiver, the beer is poured into the receiver from both the main pouring port and the sub-pourout, and the trickle of beer that is poured into the receiver from the sub-pourout is not the same as the one poured first. The surface of the beer is pounded finely, and the vibrations promote the vaporization of the carbon dioxide gas dissolved in the beer, forming a layer of minute carbon dioxide bubbles, which are then poured from the main spout. It is known that it prevents air from being entrained when the flow of beer enters the liquid surface, resulting in a soft taste with fine, creamy foam similar to draft beer.

Therefore, the applicant utilizes the above principle,
The beer containers and their lids disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-23717 and Publication No. 59-27379 were proposed as being capable of generating fine-textured foam when poured into a container.

In other words, the product of Utility Model Publication No. 59-23717 is ``a synthetic resin lid that is fitted onto the top plate of a metal beer container that has an opening for drinking on the top plate; A main spout, a sub spout, and an air inlet are provided on the top surface of the fitting part to the plate, and a protrusion to prevent liquid leakage is provided on the back side in the area surrounding the main, sub spout, air suction port, and the above-mentioned opening section. The lid of a metal container for beer" and the one published in Utility Model Publication No. 59-27379 is "a metal beer container with an inner lid provided on the back of the top plate that is equipped with a pull tab for opening. This is a metal container for beer that has a main spout and a sub-spout with a smaller diameter around the can where the lid is exposed, and an air hole in the center of the can.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] By the way, in the product disclosed in Utility Model Publication No. 59-23717, the main spout and sub-spout are formed in the lid, which must be attached to the beer container when in use. It is troublesome, and the method disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-27379 has an inner lid attached (attached) to the back of the top plate so as to cover the cutout (opening part), and holes of various sizes are made in the inner lid. However, since the main spout, auxiliary spout, or air suction port was used, the following problems arose.

(1) Because the inner lids are tightly stacked directly under the cutout, it is difficult to install a protruding conduit to ensure beer is delivered from the sub-pour spout. Some or all of the beer that is dispensed from the spout runs down the inner lid and drips down.

(2) The size of the main spout, auxiliary spout, or air intake port is limited to the size of the cutout, and if you try to make the main spout or auxiliary spout larger, you will have to enlarge the cutout. No.

The present invention has been made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned conventional problems.

[Means for solving the problem] The top plate has a double-walled structure with inner and outer walls running parallel to each other at a predetermined interval, and an opening for drinking is provided on the outer wall, while a main spout is provided on the inner wall. A conduit extending toward the outer wall was attached to at least the sub-outlet of the main outlet and the sub-outlet.

[Function] The top plate is double-walled with an inner and outer wall, an opening for drinking is provided on the outer wall, a main spout and a sub-spout are provided on the inner wall, and the gap between the inner and outer walls is used to connect the main spout and Since the conduit is attached to at least the sub-pouring port among the sub-pouring ports, beer can be reliably delivered from the sub-pouring port. A conduit is also provided at the main spout to prevent beer from dripping into the inner lid. Furthermore, if the unsealing part is enlarged so that it occupies almost the entire outer wall, the size of the main spout and the sub-spout can be set arbitrarily, and there is no need to determine the direction of installation.

[Example] Next, an example of the tap with a beer pouring device of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Figures 1 to 4 show the first tap with a beer pouring device of the present invention.
An example is shown in which 1 is a top plate, 1a and 1b are inner and outer walls constituting the top plate 1, and these inner and outer walls 1a,
1b are arranged in parallel with a predetermined interval δ. 2 is a fan-shaped opening provided on the outer wall 1b, 3, 4, and 5
are a large-diameter main spout, a small-diameter auxiliary spout, and an air intake hole provided on the inner wall 1a, and the main spout 3 and the auxiliary spout 4 are located directly below the periphery of the fan-shaped opening 2. The air suction ports 5 are formed substantially parallel to each other with a constant distance d between them, and the air suction ports 5 are formed at positions approximately 180° out of phase with the main spout 3 and the sub-spout 4. Reference numeral 6 denotes a conduit for the main spout, which extends from the main spout 3 toward the outer wall 1b, and 7 extends from the auxiliary spout 4 toward the outer wall 1b. This is the conduit for the sub-outlet. In the first embodiment, a flange portion 1c is formed at the upper end of the inner wall 1a, and the flange portion 1c
By adhering to the lower surface of the outer wall 1b, the inner wall 1a
Although it is configured to be attached to the outer wall 1b, the connection structure between the inner wall 1a and the outer wall 1b is arbitrary, and by welding,
Alternatively, the inner wall 1a may be attached by fitting into the cylindrical portion 1d of the outer wall 1b. Further, the unsealing section 2 is provided with a so-called pull tab (not shown), and the unseal can be opened by tearing off the pull tab.

Since the beer container of the first embodiment has the above-mentioned structure, if you tear off the pull tab, open the unsealing part 2, and pour beer into a container such as a beer cup or a beer cup, the main pouring spout 3 will be poured. Beer is poured into the receiver in a thick stream, and beer is poured into the receiver in a thin stream from the sub-pouring port 4. This thin stream then finely hits the surface of the beer that is being poured, and due to the vibrations,
It promotes the vaporization of carbon dioxide gas dissolved in beer, forming a layer of minute carbon dioxide bubbles. In the case of this embodiment, the main spout 3 and the sub-spout 4 are provided with conduits 6 and 7, respectively, so that beer can be prevented from being transmitted to the inner wall 1a (spilling down), and the beer can be prevented from spilling from the main spout. The flow of beer from the outlet 3 and the sub-pour spout 4 is adjusted, and the beer is blown further forward, making it easier to pour beer. The air intake port 5 makes beer pouring smooth.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In this second embodiment, the opening part 2 is of a so-called full open type, so that the positioning of the opening part 2, the main spout 3, the sub spout 4, etc. This shows the case where the need for is eliminated. Other parts are the same as in the first embodiment, but in the case of the shape of the main spout 3 shown in this example, the air intake port 5 can be omitted. Note that a notch 8 is provided in the conduit 6 in order to return beer that has accumulated on the inner wall 1a during transportation.

6 to 7 and FIG. 8 show a third embodiment and a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the third embodiment, a notch 8 is formed in the conduit 6 for the main spout. By slanting the inner wall 1a toward the direction, beer spilled onto the inner wall 1a during transportation due to reversal, etc., is returned into the container via the notch 8. The case is shown in which the beer spilled onto the inner wall 1a is returned into the container from the air inlet 5 by tilting it toward the air inlet 5. Other parts are the same as in the first embodiment.

Although the embodiment shows the case where the present invention is applied to a can lid, it can be applied to all caps, lids, and stoppers.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, the invention has a top plate 1 having a double wall structure of inner and outer walls 1a and 1b that are parallel to each other with a predetermined interval, and an opening part 2 for drinking on the outer wall 1b. At the same time, a main spout 3 and a sub spout 4 are provided on the inner wall 1a, and a main spout 3 and a sub spout 4 are provided on the inner wall 1a.
Since a conduit 7 extending toward the outer wall 1b is attached to at least the sub-outlet 4, the following effects can be obtained.

(1) Main spout 3, sub spout 4 and air intake port 5
Since it is built into the container, it is
-There is no trouble of attaching and detaching the container like the one in Publication No. 23717.

(2) Since the conduit 7 is attached to the sub-spout 4, when pouring beer into the receiver, it is possible to prevent the beer from spilling from the sub-spout 4 along the inner wall 1a, and to prevent the beer from flowing. can give direction.

(3) The size of the main spout 3 and the sub spout 4 can be set freely.
