Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Use The present invention relates to a dripper used in a coffee brewer.

(B) Conventional Technology A conventional dripper, as disclosed, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 61-140720, has a preliminary filter provided on the inner bottom of the dripper in combination with a paper filter. Has a drawback that the preliminary filter is pivotally supported so as to rotate, and the structure is complicated and the cost is high. Further, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-36435, a filter is insert-molded on the bottom part of the dripper, and a frame is used as in the extraction device of Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-179322 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-13075. There is a filter attached to the body on the bottom part of the dripper, but these are not configured to use a paper filter.Because the filter is on the bottom part of the dripper, the coffee powder is above the filter. It has a drawback that it easily falls through the coffee machine and gets into the coffee liquid in the decanter arranged at the lower part of the dripper.

(C) Problems to be solved by the invention Therefore, the present invention can use a paper filter, and can filter the coffee liquid even when there is no paper filter, and the coffee powder can be filtered without using the paper filter. It is an object of the present invention to provide a dripper in which coffee powder does not easily fall through a filter when performing.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems An opening for draining the coffee liquid in the dripper is formed only in the lower part of the side wall of the dripper, and the opening is covered with a cloth filter.

(E) Action The coffee liquor can be filtered by storing the paper filter in the dripper, or the coffee liquor can be filtered directly by the cloth filter by directly storing the coffee powder in the dripper without the paper filter. . or,
Since the filter is installed only on the lower part of the side wall of the dripper, even if coffee powder is directly stored in the storage part of the dripper without using a paper filter, the coffee powder will not pass through the filter and fall into the decanter. can do.

(F) Example 1 is a coffee brewer body, and a water tank 3 having a lid 2.
It has a base 4 having a heater 2, a pipe 5 for guiding water and hot water, a decanter 6 for receiving coffee liquid, and a dripper 7 which is attached to and detached from the upper surface of the decanter 6. 8 is a check valve. Reference numeral 9 is a switch for energizing the heater 2.

The dripper 7 is entirely composed of a main body portion 7a having an open top surface and an inverted frustoconical bottomed storage portion 7b which is arranged in the main body portion 7a and is disposed in the main body portion 7a. A diffusion lid 11 having a drip hole 10 which is detachable is provided. A plurality of elongated ribs 13 are formed on the inner wall of the accommodating portion 7b of the dripper 7 so as to extend in the vertical direction, and substantially triangular openings 15 and 15 are formed at the lower portions of both side walls of the accommodating portion 7b. ing. The openings 15 and 15 are covered with a breathable cloth filter F which is insert-molded at the same time when the dripper 7 is molded. Reference numeral 16 is an annular engaging recess for engaging with the upper opening of the decanter 6.

According to such a configuration, during normal use, the coffee liquid is filtered by both the paper filter P and the cloth filter F by disposing the paper filter P in the storage portion 7b, so that the filtering accuracy is improved. Moreover, even if the coffee powder is directly stored in the storage portion 7b of the dripper 7 even if there is no paper filter, the coffee liquid can be filtered by the cloth filter F. In addition, since no holes are formed in the bottom surface of the dripper 7 in this usage state, coffee powder does not drop into the decanter 6.

(G) Effect of the Invention Since the present invention has such a configuration, it is possible to filter the coffee liquid by using a paper filter, and the coffee liquid can be filtered only by the cloth filter without the paper filter. It is also possible. When coffee powder is filtered without using a paper filter, it is possible to prevent the coffee powder from passing through the filter, falling into the decanter, and mixing into the coffee liquid, so that coffee liquid with good filtration accuracy can be obtained. can get.
