Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] Purpose of invention (Industrial application field) This invention relates to a tea strainer case.

(Prior Art) Generally, a tea strainer holder and a tea shell holder are used as a set. However, since the tea strainer holder and tea shell holder are formed separately, it is necessary to transfer the tea strainer between the tea strainer holder and the tea shell holder when discarding the tea filter after straining the tea. However, the tea strainer was difficult to handle.

Furthermore, when the tea strainer holder and tea shell holder are not in use, they must be stored in one place, requiring a relatively large storage space.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) As mentioned above, this invention solves the problem that the tea strainer is complicated to handle when in use, and requires a relatively large storage space when not in use. That is.

Structure of the invention (Means for solving the problem) This invention is the first step to solve the above problem.
As shown in the figure, a tea strainer holder 1 is attached to a tea strainer holder 11 so that it can be rotated to open and close.

(Function) As a result of adopting the above-mentioned means, this device allows the tea strainer 8 to be placed on the tea strainer holder 1 when the tea strainer holder 1 is in the open state with respect to the tea shell holder 11, and the tea strainer 8 can be placed in the closed state. , the tea shell placed in the tea strainer 8 falls into the tea shell holder 11.

(Example) Hereinafter, a first example embodying this invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a tea strainer holder, which is made of a synthetic resin material and is formed into a substantially bowl shape. As shown in Figures 1 and 4, 2 is a sink protrusion formed by projecting upward a part of the upper end surface of the tea strainer holder 1, and the inner surface thereof has a sink that slopes outward toward the top. A surface 3 is formed. 4 is a connection part protruding slightly below the sink part 2 on the outer surface of the tea strainer holder 1,
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, it consists of a pair of front and rear holding pieces 5 and a stopper plate 6 that connects the lower ends of the holding pieces 5. In addition, in FIGS. 2 and 3, reference numeral 7 indicates a pair of connecting holes provided through both the holding pieces 5.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a tea strainer disposed on the tea strainer holder 1, the ring portion 9 at the tip (left end in FIG. 1) contacts the sink surface 3 of the sink portion 2, and the handle 10
protrudes outward from the upper end surface on the opposite side in the circumferential direction from the sink portion 2.

Reference numeral 11 is a bowl-shaped tea strainer holder placed adjacent to the tea strainer holder 1, and a supporting portion 12 protruding in the direction of the tea strainer holder 1 from the upper end of the outer surface on the tea strainer holder 1 side serves as a tea strainer holder. It is connected to the connecting portion 4 of No. 1. The support portion 12 is formed into a U-shape in plan by connecting the front and lower ends of a pair of side pieces 13 with a front plate 14 and a bottom plate 15, respectively, and a loose insertion hole 16 is formed in each side piece 13. has been done. Also,
The distance between the two side pieces 13 is slightly smaller than the distance between the two holding pieces 8 of the tea strainer holder 1, and after the both side pieces 13 are fitted between the two holding pieces 8, the connecting holes 10 of the respective holding pieces 8 are inserted. A pin 17 is loosely inserted into the corresponding loose insertion hole 16 of the side piece 13, and the tea strainer holder 1 is rotatably connected to the tea shell holder 11 around its connecting portion 4. .

Note that 18 is a holding recess that is cut out slightly downward from the upper end surface on the side opposite to the support part 12 in the circumferential direction of the tea shell holder 11.

Reference numeral 19 is a tea shell holder placed within the tea shell holder 11, and its height is lower than that of the tea shell holder. The tea shell receptacle 19 is provided with a water receptacle 20 and a gripping piece 21 extending horizontally outward at positions corresponding to the support part 12 and the holding recess 18 of the tea receptacle holder 11 at the upper end thereof. 20
protrudes into the support part 12, and the gripping piece 21
protrudes from the holding recess 18 to the outside of the tea shell holder 11. The inner diameter of the tea shell holder 19 and the tea strainer holder 1
The inner diameters of the two are almost the same. Also, tea shell case 1
1. Like the tea strainer holder 1, the tea shell holder 19 is made of a synthetic resin material. Note that 22 is a non-slip hole provided transparently in the grip piece 21.

Note that 23 is a locking member attached to the upper end of the tea strainer holder 1 on the side opposite to the tea shell holder 11;
As shown in the figure, when the tea strainer holder 1 is closed, the tea strainer holder 1 is engaged with the ring at the upper end of the tea shell holder 11.
It is held in such a way that it cannot be opened.

Now, the operation of the tea strainer case constructed as described above will be explained below.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a tea strainer 8 is placed on the tea strainer holder 1. As mentioned above, the tea strainer 8
The ring part 9 is in contact with the sink surface 3 of the tea strainer holder 1, and the handle 10 is placed on the upper end surface of the tea strainer holder 1, so that the tea strainer 8 is not placed inside the tea strainer holder 1. It won't fall. In this state, if tea leaves are put into the tea strainer 8 and hot water is passed through the tea strainer case, the tea strainer case will perform the tea strainer function.

When using this tea strainer case as a tea strainer holder 11, rotate the tea strainer holder 1 in the direction of the arrow in FIG.
The tea strainer case is held in a closed state by turning it upside down and placing it on the tea strainer case 11. At this time, the handle 10 of the tea strainer 8 protrudes outward from the holding recess 18 of the tea shell holder 11 and is supported by overlapping the grasping piece 21 of the tea shell holder 19, and furthermore, the tip of the tea strainer 8 is supported by the grasping piece 21 of the tea shell holder 19.
It is supported by contacting the inner end portion of the water receptacle 20.
Therefore, the tea strainer 8 is held upside down in the closed tea strainer case, and the tea shells accumulated in the tea strainer 8 fall into the tea shell receiver 19.

Further, when the tea strainer case is closed, the hot water accumulated in the tea strainer holder 1 flows down into the tea strainer holder 19 along the sink surface 3 of the sink part 2. Furthermore, after most of the hot water in the tea strainer tray 1 has flowed down into the tea shell tray 19,
Since the remaining portion also drips down the sink surface 3 into the water receptacle 20 of the tea shell holder 19, the water in the tea strainer holder 1 is completely drained. In addition, since the inner diameters of the tea strainer holder 1 and the tea shell holder 19 are almost the same, the hot water flowing down from inside the tea strainer holder 1 enters between the tea shell holder 11 and the tea shell holder 19 and flows into the tea shell holder 11. There is almost no standing water.

By using the tea strainer case described above, it is possible to continuously strain the tea and discard the tea leaves in the tea strainer 8.
There is no need to replace the tea strainer 8 between the tea strainer holder 1 and the tea shell holder 11.

Furthermore, if you want to throw away the tea shells in the tea shell holder 19, you can simply pinch the gripping piece 21 of the tea shell holder 19 and take out the tea shell holder 19 from the tea shell holder 11, making it easy to dispose of the tea shells. It can be done. At this time,
Due to the action of the anti-slip holes 22 transparently provided in the grip piece 21, the fingers do not slip from the grip piece 21.

Additionally, since the tea strainer case can be stored in a closed state when not in use, storage space is small.

Next, a second embodiment of this invention will be described with reference to FIG.

In this embodiment, a handle 30 having a substantially semicircular shape is rotatably attached to the upper center end of the tea shell holder 19, and both base end portions of the handle 30 are attached to the tea shell holder 1.
The annular portion of the handle 30 is made to rotate outside the tea shell holder 11 by protruding outward from the tea shell holder 11 through a pair of rotation recesses 31 formed in the notches 1. With this configuration, by grasping the handle 30, the tea shell holder 1 can be moved.
9 can be taken out from the tea shell holder 11, and the tea shell receiver 19 can be handled more easily.

Note that this invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and includes, for example, a tea strainer holder 1, a tea shell holder 11, a tea shell holder 19.
Alternatively, a metal material or wood may be used instead of synthetic resin, or a concave portion may be formed in place of the anti-slip hole 22 of the gripping piece 21 to provide the same anti-slip effect as the anti-slip hole 22, as shown in FIG. As shown, a pair of support protrusions 24 are provided on the support part 12 of the tea strainer holder, and the support protrusions 24 are loosely inserted into a pair of loose insertion recesses 25 recessed in the connecting part 4 of the tea strainer holder 1. Arbitrary changes, such as connecting 1 and tea shell case 11, are possible as long as they do not depart from the spirit of the invention.

Effects As detailed above, this device is easy to handle by attaching the tea strainer holder 1 on which the tea strainer 8 is placed so that it can be rotated to open and close relative to the tea shell holder 11. This is a practical idea because it has the excellent effect of being able to be stored compactly.
