Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a dripper and instant cooler for instant coffee.

(Prior art) There are iced coffee makers devised by Utility Model Application No. 1983-4783, which uses powdered coffee, and Utility Model Application No. 15227, which uses instant coffee, but the former uses a filter. and
The latter eliminates the use of a filter, but the coffee liquid that flows down from the small hole at the bottom of the dripper flows through the flow groove of the complicated diffuser and then flows into the ice container, so in both cases, the coffee liquid flows down from the small hole at the bottom of the dripper, and then flows into the ice container. It takes a considerable amount of time to reach the surface.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, conventional iced coffee makers, including the two examples mentioned above, not only have a complicated structure and are inconvenient to clean after use, but also cause the coffee liquid dripping from the dripper to fall onto the ice surface. There are many contact surfaces and it takes a considerable amount of time to reach this temperature, and during this time the temperature of the liquid gradually decreases, resulting in a loss of flavor.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention relates to an iced coffee maker devised for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems, and its configuration is explained using drawings as shown in Figs. 2 to 10. The dripper 1 has an inverted conical shape, with a drip hole 2 in the center of the bottom, and several hanging blades 3 radially arranged around the hole, and an inwardly folded edge 12 at the top. It consists of an annular cylinder 11 with an enlarged inner diameter edge 13 and a notch 14 in a part of the enlarged edge 13, and an ice container cup 21 with an outlet 22 in a part of its upper side. Assemble the annular cylinder 11 on top of the cup 21 as shown in the figure.
It is used by placing the notch 14 facing the outlet 22, placing the enlarged edge 13 over the upper side of the cup 21, and inserting the lower part of the dripper 1 into the upper part of the annular cylinder 11.

In the figure, reference numeral 4 denotes reinforcing longitudinal protrusions formed at regular intervals on the outside of the dripper 1. A step 5 is provided in the middle of each protrusion 4, so that when the dripper 1 is inserted into the annular tube 11, Dripper 1 by placing it in contact with the mouth area
It is designed to be placed in a horizontal position.

(Function) After the iced coffee maker of the present invention is assembled as shown in Fig. 1, ice is stored in the cup 21, instant coffee is poured into the dripper 1, and hot water is poured onto it, the coffee solution drips. The water drips from the hole 2 through several hanging blades 3 onto the ice surface. During this time, the path from melting the coffee to reaching the ice surface is much shorter than in conventional systems, and the solution is sprayed from the lower end of each hanging blade 3 onto the ice surface at various locations within the cup 21 in a short period of time, rapidly cooling it. There is no risk that the so-called original flavor of coffee will be impaired.

Further, when hot water is poured into the coffee particles, the foam, undissolved substances, etc. that are generated remain attached to the inner surface of the dripper 1, so that the dripped liquid is extremely pure.

Furthermore, since each used part has a simple structure, it can be easily and completely cleaned, and after use, the annular cylinder 11 is raised and the cup 21 and the dripper 1 are polymerized in this order. It is low in bulk and does not take up much space for storage.

(Effects) As mentioned above, in the iced coffee maker of the present invention, the time required for the coffee liquid extracted with hot water to reach the ice surface is short, and the solution dropped onto various parts of the ice surface undergoes rapid cooling. Therefore, it not only does not lose its unique flavor and aroma, but also is suitable for cleaning, storage, etc.
