Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a teapot.

[Conventional technology]

In a teapot equipped with a heat-retaining container, high-temperature hot water is stored for a long period of time, so if the tea strainer is left alone, the tea may be excessively extracted and become too thick. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the tea strainer after pouring hot water into the pot, so that the tea strainer is put in and taken out more frequently than in a normal teapot.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, in the conventional teapot, since the upper brim of the tea strainer is configured to be engaged with the shoulder body above the opening end of the heat insulation container, the fingertip must be inserted through the opening of the shoulder body when attaching or detaching the tea strainer. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to work because there is not enough working space inside the shoulder.

Then, this invention aims at providing the teapot which can remove the tea strainer easily.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

As a first means for solving the problem of the upper part, the present invention forms an opening in the shoulder body provided in the upper part of the teapot, and a receiving collar is provided in the lower part of the inner peripheral wall of the opening, and the outer periphery of the upper end of the tea strainer container. In the teapot in which the locking brim is hung on the receiving collar to hang and support the tea strainer container, and the inner peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the tea strainer container is sealed with a plug attached to the opening of the shoulder body,
The upper end of the tea strainer container is formed at a position lower than the upper surface of the shoulder body opening, and an air reservoir is formed at the center of the bottom surface of the tea strainer container to inwardly recess the volume of the air reservoir inside thereof. The tea strainer container is formed to have a size necessary to float by the buoyancy of the accumulated air, and the lift is held down by the plug.

In addition, as a second means, the present invention forms an opening in the shoulder body provided at the upper part of the teapot, and provides a receiving collar at the lower part of the inner peripheral wall of the opening, and the above-mentioned receiving collar at the upper and outer periphery of the tea strainer container. Hanging and supporting the tea strainer container by hanging it on the brim, in a teapot in which the inner peripheral surface of the upper end portion of the tea strainer container is sealed with a plug attached to the opening of the shoulder body, to the locking collar of the tea strainer container, A pin protruding from and retracting to the lower surface of the collar is provided, a downward spring force is applied to the pin, and the lifting of the tea strainer container due to the spring force is pressed by the plug.

[Action]

In the first means, when the tea strainer container is inserted into the teapot, air remains in the air reservoir on the bottom surface of the tea strainer container. Therefore, if you remove the stopper holding the tea strainer container,
The buoyancy of the air pushes up the tea strainer container.

In the second means, when the stopper holding the tea strainer container is removed, the spring force causes the pin to project to the lower surface of the brim, so that the tea strainer container is pushed up accordingly.

In any of the above cases, the upper end portion of the tea strainer container is not exposed on the upper surface of the shoulder body when the stopper is inserted.

〔Example〕

1 and 2 show the first embodiment. In this case, the tea strainer container 1 of the teapot has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and an air reservoir 2 which is recessed inward of the container 1 is formed at the center of the bottom surface thereof.
A large number of small holes 3 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the tea strainer container 1.
A plastic sleeve 4 is attached to the upper end of the tea strainer container 1.
Is formed on the outer periphery of the upper end portion of the sleeve 4, and a locking collar 5 that projects outward is formed.

The volume of the air reservoir 2 is large enough to float the tea strainer container 1 by the buoyancy of the accumulated air when the tea strainer container 1 is inserted into the heat insulation container 8 described later.

The teapot 7 is, as shown in FIG. 2, a shoulder body provided on the upper portion thereof.
An opening 9 is formed in the opening 17, and a receiving collar 18 is provided at the lower portion of the inner peripheral wall of the opening 9, and the mouth portion of the heat insulation container 8 made of a vacuum double bottle housed in the teapot 7 is provided in the receiving receptacle 18. The packing 19 is attached to the lower surface. The tea strainer container 1 is inserted into the heat insulating container 8 through the mouth portion thereof.
The locking brim 5 of is hung on the receiving brim 18 above.

A screw 20 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the opening 9 of the shoulder body 17, and the plug 10 screwed into the screw 20 is inserted into the opening 9. The outer peripheral surface of the lower end portion of the stopper 10 is pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the locking collar 5 of the tea strainer container 1 through the packing 9 '.

The upper end of the tea strainer container 1 is located at a position lower than the screw portion of the stopper 10.

The heat insulation teapot of the first embodiment is as described above, and the second
Put tea leaves 6 in the tea strainer container 1 as shown in the figure
Air is left in the air reservoir 2 by inserting it straight with the liquid such as hot water inside. The buoyancy of the remaining air urges the tea strainer container 1 upward. The air remaining in the air reservoir 2 does not escape unless the teapot 7 is tilted at a considerably large angle. When you remove the stopper 10,
The tea strainer container 1 is pushed up by the buoyancy of the air.

FIGS. 3 and 4 show a tea strainer container 1 of the second embodiment. In this case, the bottom face of the tea strainer container 1 is formed flat like an ordinary one, but the collar 5 of the sleeve 4 is formed. A projecting portion 11 projecting outward is provided at a portion rising from the. A large-diameter hole 12 in the vertical direction and a small-diameter hole 13 continuous with this are formed in the protruding portion 11, and a flange pin 14 is formed in the large-diameter hole.
The small-diameter hole 13 is passed through from 12, and the tip is projected to the lower surface of the collar 5. A coil spring 15 is inserted in the large diameter hole 12,
Blocked by 16. In a normal state, the pin 14 projects to the lower surface of the collar 5 by the elastic force of the coil spring 15.

When the tea strainer container 1 described above is inserted into the teapot 7 and the stopper 10 is applied in the same manner as described above, the pin 14 compresses the coil spring 15 and retracts into the small diameter hole 13 and the large diameter hole 12. Remove the plug 10 and pin
Since 14 is projected to the lower surface of the collar 5 by the spring force of the coil spring 15, the upper end of the tea strainer container 1 is pushed up accordingly.

[Effect of device]

As mentioned above, this device has the buoyancy by the air in the air reservoir,
Alternatively, the spring force that pushes out the pin imparts self-floating property to the tea strainer container. Therefore, when the stopper is removed, the tea strainer container is naturally pushed up, and its upper end approaches the opening of the shoulder body. Therefore, the work of removing the tea strainer container is facilitated.

In addition, since the upper end of the tea strainer container is not exposed on the opening of the shoulder body with the stopper provided, and only the upper end of the stopper is exposed from the opening, the appearance is good. .
