Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a cap-type tea strainer that can be used as a tea strainer by covering the opening of a cup such as a mug.

(Conventional technology) Green tea and black tea have traditionally been made using special teapots or teapots, but conventional teapots and teapots have a through hole in the body wall and a spout connected to the hole. Usually, a strainer is installed in the hole in the main body made of ceramic. (For example, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-64079) (Problem to be solved by the invention) However, the teapots and teapots described above have complex overall shapes, which requires time and effort to form, and the position of the strainer is difficult to form. Since the strainer is located inside the main body at waist height, there are various inconveniences such as the labor involved in installing the strainer, the troublesome cleaning of the strainer portion, and the high cost.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned inconveniences and provides a cap-type tea strainer that can be used in combination with an inexpensive and easily available cup such as a mug to easily brew green or black tea. The cap body is made of synthetic resin, and the fitting cylinder part that fits into the opening of the cup is provided below the flange part on the upper periphery. An inverted gutter-like bulging part is integrally formed as a receiving part, the tip of which continues to the spout extending from the cap main body, and within the inverted gutter-like bulging part, there is a part between the strainer receiving part and the spout. It is characterized by being fitted with a strainer.

(Embodiments) Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to illustrated embodiments.

1 is a hand-held cup such as a ceramic mug; 2 is a cap body made of strong synthetic resin such as polypropylene resin that can be fitted into the opening 3 of the cup 1; A fitting cylinder part 6 is provided below the flange part 7 of the cap body 2, and on the upper surface of the top plate part 5 of the cap body 2, the base end is the strainer receiving part 12, and the tip part is connected to the cap body 2. An inverted gutter-like bulging part 8 that continues to the projecting spout 4 is integrally formed. and,
The strainer receiving portion 1 is disposed within the inverted gutter-like bulge portion 8.
2 and the spout 4, a strainer 11
is fitted. In addition, the cap body 2 is provided with a plurality of vertical notches 9 in the fitting cylindrical portion 6 as a means for airtightly fitting and closing the cap body into the opening 3 of the cup 1. is formed on the elastic piece 6a, and the claw portions 6b are slightly bulged on the outer surface of the plurality of elastic pieces 6a arranged in the fitting cylinder 6, and the elastic pieces 6a with the claw portions 6 are attached. Opening 3 of cup 1
In addition, a heat-resistant packing material 10 such as silicone rubber is fitted to the fitting cylinder part 6 so as to be attached to the lower surface of the flange part 7 on the upper periphery of the cap body 2. There is. Note that the number of the elastic pieces 6a is preferably about 2 to 4, for example,
They are arranged at left and right opposite positions with the spout 4 in between. In addition, in the figure, 13 indicates a strainer 11 at a position near the spout 4 following the inverted gutter-like bulge 8.
A plurality of needle-like protrusions are planted on both sides of the tea cup, and the needle-like protrusions 12 are used to prevent the strainer 11 near the spout 4 from being covered with tea leaves during pouring, making it impossible to pour tea. 14 is an air circulation hole provided in the top plate portion 5.

With this structure, tea leaves such as green tea or black tea and hot water are placed in the cup 1, and the fitting cylinder part 6 of the synthetic resin cap body 2 is fitted into the opening 3 of the cup 1. , this fitting cylinder part 6 is provided with elastic pieces 6a divided by vertical cuts 9, 9, and a claw part 6b is formed on the outer surface of each elastic piece 6a, so that the coupling 1 is made of ceramics, and even if there is an error in the diameter due to shrinkage during firing, this is absorbed, and together with the sealing effect of the heat-resistant packing material 10, the opening 3 of the cup 1 is securely closed by the cap body 2. There is no risk of it falling off,
Therefore, by grasping the handle 1a of the cup 1 and tilting it, the tea leaves are strained by the strainer 11 and the tea leaves are obtained from the spout 4 in the same way as when green tea or black tea is brewed in a teapot or teapot. Green tea or black tea can be easily obtained using a cup such as a mug without preparing a teapot, but at this time, the cap body 2 is thermally deformed due to formation on the top surface of the top plate 5 of the cap body 2. The strainer receiving portion 12 at the proximal end is located within the inverted gutter-like bulge portion 8 which works together with the collar portion 7 to prevent this.
and the strainer 1 fitted between the spout 4 and the spout 4.
There is no fear that the tea leaves will be moved by the flow of hot water passing from the inverted gutter-like bulging portion 8 toward the spout 4, and the tea leaves can always be accurately collected. When the strainer 11 is removed, the strainer 11 provided in the shallow cap body 2 is easy to clean, which is preferable from a sanitary standpoint.

(Effects of the invention) As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, the present invention is a cap-type tea strainer that can be used as a teapot or teapot by simply fitting the lid into the opening of a cup such as a mug. By fitting and holding the tea leaves in the inverted gutter-like bulge formed integrally on the upper surface of the top plate of the main body, the tea leaves can be collected accurately at all times without being affected by the flow of hot water, and moreover, they are easily deformed by heat. The deformation of the synthetic resin cap body is prevented by the inverted gutter-like bulge and the flange provided on the upper periphery of the fitting cylinder, and it is easy to clean and can be provided without any worries. Together they have extremely great practical value.
