2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 14, a beverage manufacturing apparatus has a water boiling tank having a water supply tank 102 at the upper portion of a beverage manufacturing apparatus 101 and a heater 103 arranged in the body.
104, a water supply pipe 105 that connects the water tank 102 and the boiling water tank 104, a basket-shaped basket 108 in which raw materials such as coffee powder, tea leaves, and tea leaves are set, and boiling water in the boiling water tank is moved upwards from the basket. Leading discharge pipe
106, and a storage container 110 is placed below the basket 108.

The beverage manufacturing apparatus 101 includes a water supply tank 102.
When a predetermined amount of water is supplied to the tank, the water is boiled through the water supply pipe 105 into the tank 104, and the water in the tank 104 is heated by the heater 103. If a predetermined amount of water is further added to the water supply tank in this state, the added water will boil and enter the tank, and at the same time, the previously heated and boiled water will be discharged from the discharge pipe 10.
It is discharged from the upper part of the basket 108 through 6. After the filter paper is laid on the basket 108, raw materials such as coffee powder, tea leaves, and tea leaves are set. This basket
The boiling water discharged from the upper part of 108 mixes with the raw material and is dripped from the bottom of the basket 108 as an extract. The dropped extract is stored in the storage container 101.

The storage container 110 includes an outer casing 112 surrounding a middle bottle 111, a bottom member 113 connected to the lower end of the outer casing, and a shoulder member 115 with a handle 114 connected to the upper end of the outer casing.
And a lid 116 detachably attached to the mouth of the inner bottle 111 at the upper end of the shoulder member. The lid of this storage container 110
As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, the reference numeral 116 denotes an upper lid 122 having a funnel-shaped opening 121 in the center, and a lower lid 123 surrounding the lower portion of the upper lid 122 and having a screw portion for screwing the storage container 110 on the outer periphery of the lower lid 123. It consists of The storage container 110 has a lid 116.
Place it on the lower part of the basket 108 of the beverage manufacturing apparatus 101 with the attached, and extract the liquid extracted from the bottom of the basket 108 with the lid 116.
It was stored in the inside bottle of the storage container container 110 through the funnel-shaped opening 121 of.

[0005]

However, in the lid of this kind of storage container, the extract is smoothly stored in the storage container through the opening of the lid, but on the other hand, dust easily enters and The vicinity of the lid was always kept warm by the extract, and small insects gathered into the storage container through the opening of the lid, which was very unsanitary.
Further, since the opening of the lid communicates with the inner bottle of the storage container, the temperature of the extraction liquid in the storage container is drastically lowered, and there is a disadvantage that the extraction liquid in the storage container does not become a hot drink unless it is reheated. there were.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances and is very hygienic and has a simple structure.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a lid for a storage container of a beverage manufacturing device that is excellent in heat retention.

[0007]

In order to achieve the above object, in a lid for a storage container of a beverage manufacturing apparatus of the present invention, the lid has a through hole which communicates with the mouth of the storage container at the center and a lower portion. The lower lid provided with a screw on the outer periphery, the upper lid which is connected to the upper surface of the lower lid and has a central hole communicating with the through hole of the lower lid in the center, and the through hole of the lower lid between the upper lid and the lower lid. The structure is such that an opening / closing member for opening / closing and an operating member for operating the opening / closing member are provided.

[0008]

In the lid for the storage container of the beverage manufacturing apparatus configured as described above, when the extract from the basket portion is stored in the storage container, the center of the lid is positioned directly below the basket and the operation lever is operated. When moved, the opening / closing member is moved by the pivot shaft hole pivotally supported by the support shaft together with the sliding shaft of the operation member, and the respective central openings of the lower lid, the operation member, the opening / closing member, and the upper lid communicate with each other to open the storage container mouth. Will be in communication with. Furthermore,
When the operating lever is moved in the opposite direction, the closing plate portion of the opening / closing member is sandwiched between the central openings of the operating member and the upper lid to close the openings.
