Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 is a front view of a dripper according to the present invention, FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a dripper according to the present invention in an assembling start state, FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a dripper assembling end state, FIG. 5 is a front view of a dripper assembling end state, and FIG. It is a set state front view of a dripper.

In the figure, 10 is a dripper. The dripper 10 comprises two dripper mounts 11 and a filter 12 arranged between the dripper mounts 11. The dripper mount 11 is made of thick paper, and the two dripper mounts 11 are aligned with each other and fixed to each other by fixing portions (glue allowances) 13 and 14 formed on the left and right sides of the drawing.
Between the fixing portions 13 and 14 and the main body portion 15 of the dripper mount 11 other than the fixing portions 13 and 14, folding portions 13a and 14a for valley folds are formed, and a vertical direction is formed in the center of the main body portion 15. The bent portion 15a of the mountain fold is formed.

Although the upper edge 15b of the main body 15 on the side of the fixed portion 13 with respect to the bent portion 15a is formed flat, the upper edge 15c of the main body 15 on the side of the fixed portion 14 with respect to the bent portion 15a is formed. The fixing portion 14 is inclined and the fixing portion 14 is shorter than the fixing portion 13 in the vertical direction. On the other hand, the filter 12 is formed by laminating two filter papers. A lower edge 12a of the filter 12 is curved, and an upper edge 12b, which extends along the upper edges 15b, 15c of the main body portion 15,
It has 12c. Then, the lower edge 12a and the side edge 12
d is fixed to form a bag having an opening 18 (FIG. 3) on the upper side.

An "L" -shaped seal portion 19 is formed on the outer surface along the upper edge 12b and the side edge 12d of the filter 12, and the upper edge 12b of the filter 12 is inserted through the seal portion 19. The side edges 12d are fixed to the inner surface of the main body 15. Reference numeral 21 denotes a cup locking piece formed to project from the lower end of the fixing portion 13, and 22 denotes a cup locking piece formed to project to the lower end of the bent portion 15a of the main body 15. In this case, there are a total of three cup locking pieces 21, 22.

When the dripper 10 having the above-mentioned structure is set in the cup, first, the fixing portion 13 and the fixing portion 14 are pushed from both sides as shown by arrows A and B, and the bending portion 1 as shown in FIG.
5a is mountain-folded and the opening 18 of the filter 12 is opened.
At this time, the main body 15 and the filter 12 are sealed by the seal portion 1.
Since it is fixed via 9, the upper edge 12b of the filter 12 is pulled and opened by the upper edge 15b of the main body 15 when the main body 15 is opened by bending the bent portion 15a. On the other hand, the upper edge 12c of the filter 12 is not fixed to the main body portion 15, is in a floating state, and can freely move. Therefore, as the upper edge 12b opens, the floating upper edge 12c rotates around the end D of the seal portion 19 and rises. Then, by further pushing the fixing portions 13 and 14 to make the dripper 10 substantially quadrangular when viewed from above, the opening 18 also becomes substantially quadrangular, and the coffee bean accommodating portion can be automatically formed. . And at this time, the upper edge 12c of the filter 12
Stands up as shown by arrow C in FIG.

The dripper 10 thus assembled is set by engaging the cup engaging pieces 21 and 22 with the upper edge 23a of the cup 23, as shown in FIG. The cup locking pieces 21 and 22 are arranged at three positions on the periphery of the cup. In this case, it is possible to prevent slipping by forming unevenness at a portion of the dripper mount 11 that contacts the upper edge of the cup 23.

In the set state, a rising portion 12e is formed by the upper edge 12c of the filter 12, and the rising portion 12e prevents splashing of hot water or coffee beans when pouring hot water from the left side of the drawing. . Since the upper edge 12c of the filter 12 is inclined to match the upper edge 15c of the main body 15, the rising of the rising portion 12e is an appropriate amount.

In the above embodiment, the opening 18 of the filter 12 is widened by pushing the fixing portions 13 and 14 to automatically form the coffee bean accommodating portion. It is also possible to form an ear piece in the vicinity of the bent portion 15a and pull the ear pieces of the dripper mount 11 on both sides. In this way, the upper edge 12b of the filter 12 is pulled and opened by the upper edge 15b of the dripper mount 11 by simply pushing both ends of the dripper mount 11 or pulling the center ear piece, and the filter 1
The second opening 18 is enlarged and the coffee bean accommodating portion is automatically formed.

Then, in this state, the bent portion 15a is formed.
The dripper 10 can be set in the cup 23 easily, reliably and in a stable state only by locking the cup locking piece 22 formed at the lower end of the cup 23 to the upper edge 23a of the cup 23. Moreover, since the number of cup locking pieces 22 and 23 is small, it is possible to set the cups of various shapes and sizes.

At this time, since the remaining portion other than the seal portion 19 is in a floating state with respect to the dripper mount 11, the upper edge 12c of the filter 12 rotates about the end D of the seal portion 19 as an axis, The rising portion 12e is formed.
Therefore, splashing of hot water or coffee beans due to the impact of hot water when pouring can be prevented. Further, as the upper edge 15b of the dripper mount 11 is opened, the filter 1
Since the upper edge 12b of 2 is open, the opening 18 can be enlarged.

Next, a second embodiment of the dripper of the present invention will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a second embodiment of the dripper of the present invention. In the figure, 40 is a dripper, 41 is a dripper mount, 43 and 44 are fixing portions formed on both sides of the dripper mount 41, and 45 is a main body. The dripper mount 41 has a symmetrical shape centering on a bent portion 45a at the center of the main body 45.

Reference numeral 46 is a filter disposed inside the main body 45. The filter 46 has a semicircular shape, and a curved peripheral edge 46a is attached to form an opening at the top. Reference numerals 48 and 49 denote the fixed portion 43 and the bent portion 45.
The seal portions 48 and 4 are formed substantially in the middle of a and in the middle of the fixed portion 44 and the bent portion 45a.
The outer surface of the upper edge of the filter 46 is connected to the main body 4 through
It is fixed to the inner surface of 5.

The slanted edges 46b and 46c of the filter 46 are formed outside the seal portions 48 and 49. The inclined edges 46b and 46c rotate around the ends of the sealing portions 48 and 49 and rise up when the fixing portions 43 and 44 are pushed from both sides. Reference numeral 50 denotes a cup locking piece for setting the dripper 40 in the cup, and in this case, it is formed at the central bent portion 45a of the main body portion 45 of the two dripper mounts 41. Therefore, there are two in total.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but various modifications can be made based on the spirit of the present invention, and these are not excluded from the scope of the present invention.
