Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mudler having a concentration measuring function for diluted beverage, which can dilute the diluted beverage stock solution with water to make the diluted drinking water have a desired constant concentration. It is about.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional muddler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverages is used as a target diluted beverage concentrate such as whiskey, which is attached to the muddler body under the surface of the water, that is, it can be moved up and down. On the other hand, a plurality of ring-shaped floats each having a different specific gravity measure the alcohol concentration of the diluted drinking water according to the floating state.

[0003]

In the conventional muddler with concentration measuring function for diluted beverage, the target diluted beverage stock solution is semitransparent or transparent whiskey or the like, and the container is limited to a transparent cup or the like. That is, the alcohol concentration of the diluted drinking water is measured by observing the state in which a plurality of ring-shaped floats that float in and out of water float up and down due to the difference in their specific gravities. Therefore, the state of the ring-shaped float that floats and sinks in water is visually recognized from the outside through the side surface of the container such as a transparent cup, and the concentration is measured and the concentration of the target diluted beverage is semi-transparent. Or it is limited to a transparent one, and it is extremely difficult and almost impossible to use it for an opaque diluted juice concentrate such as concentrated juice, let alone when the diluted beverage concentrate is put in a container such as an opaque coffee cup. Completely impossible. Also, the usage method is a little complicated, and it takes time until it can be used without an instruction manual. The present invention has been made to solve these disadvantages.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A weight (2) is attached to the bottom of a lightweight muddler main body (1) that floats on water so that it floats vertically on the water surface. Mark the scale (3). The present invention is a muddler having a concentration measuring function for a diluted beverage having the above-mentioned configuration.

[0005]

The principle of the present invention will be explained with its usage. The principle of the float used in fishing is applied. A weight is directly attached to the bottom of the float main body excluding the fishing line. Adjust the weight of the weight so that the body alone floats vertically on the water surface. At this time, the weight should be adjusted so that it will sink a little further after floating vertically. This floating body modified into a muddler type is a prototype of the muddler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverage of the present invention. The muddler processed in this way is floated in water contained in a container such as a cup. Mark the water surface at that time. Then, gradually add the diluted juice stock solution with a specific gravity of 1.0 or more to the water while stirring,
The concentration of the diluted drinking water gradually increases. The specific gravity of water is 1.0, so naturally the specific gravity of the diluted drinking water will increase, and the buoyancy of the muddler will increase,
As the entire muddler gradually emerges, the water line of diluted drinking water gradually moves below the scale of the water line at the time of fresh water. In advance, float the muddler on the diluted drinking water prepared to the standard concentration, and mark the scale on the water surface at that time. The position of this scale is below the water surface line for fresh water. Further, when the diluted beverage stock solution is added and the water surface of the diluted drinking water coincides with the scale, it indicates that the diluted drinking water has reached the standard concentration. Further, in the case of a diluted beverage stock solution such as whiskey having a specific gravity of less than 1.0, the concentration of the diluted beverage water gradually increases when the diluted beverage stock solution is added, contrary to the case of concentrated juice. However, the specific gravity will decrease,
The buoyancy of the muddler diminishes, and as the entire muddler gradually sinks, the water line of the diluted drinking water gradually moves above the scale of the water line at the time of fresh water. In advance, float the muddler on the diluted drinking water prepared to the standard concentration, and mark the scale on the water surface at that time. The position of this scale is above the water surface line for fresh water. Further, when the diluted beverage stock solution is added and the water surface line of the diluted drinking water coincides with the scale, it indicates that the diluted drinking water has reached the standard concentration. In this way, the muddler body floats and sinks due to the adjustment of the concentration of diluted drinking water, and by marking the scale on the position of the water surface when floated on the diluted drinking water that had been made to the standard concentration beforehand, the dilution was diluted. Float the muddler on the diluted drinking water that should be, and put the diluted beverage stock solution so that the water line at that time matches the scale,
You can easily make diluted drinking water with standard concentration.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below. A weight (2) is attached to the bottom of a lightweight muddler body (1) that floats on water so that it floats vertically on the water surface, and marks the water surface line and one or more scales (3) based on it. The present invention is constructed as described above, and when using the present invention, first, a diluted beverage stock solution to be diluted and containers such as water and a cup are prepared. The container such as a cup may be transparent or opaque. First, add the diluted beverage stock solution and water in a proportional amount so that the concentration is slightly lower than the desired concentration. After that, the diluted drinking water is well stirred by the mudler with concentration measuring function for diluted beverage according to the present invention. Take your hand off the concentration measuring mudler for diluted beverage and wait a few seconds until it floats vertically on the surface of the diluted drinking water. Float a muddler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverages on the diluted drinking water prepared to a standard concentration in advance, and mark the water surface line at that time. After a few seconds, the diluted beverage stock solution is further added so that the water surface line matches the standard concentration scale of the vertically suspended muddler with concentration measuring function for diluted beverage. Then, when the scale and the water surface line substantially coincide with each other, it indicates that the diluted drinking water has reached the standard concentration. The specific gravity of the diluted beverage concentrate is 1.0 or higher, or
If the value is less than 1.0, the usage method differs as follows. (B) Concentrated juice, etc., in which the specific gravity of the diluted beverage concentrate is 1.0 or more. As shown in FIG. 2, a muddler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverage is floated on water contained in a container such as a cup, and the water surface line at that time is marked, and this is designated as a scale A (4).
When the diluted beverage stock solution having a specific gravity of 1.0 or more such as concentrated juice is gradually added to the water while stirring, the concentration of the diluted drinking water gradually rises. The specific gravity of water is 1.0, so naturally the specific gravity of the diluted drinking water will increase, and the buoyancy of the muddler with concentration measuring function for diluted beverage will increase, and the mudler with concentration measuring function for diluted beverage will increase. As the whole floats up, the water level line of the diluted drinking water gradually changes to the water level line A (4) of the fresh water.
It will move downward. Float a muddler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverages on the diluted drinking water prepared to a standard concentration in advance, and mark the water surface line at that time. This is referred to as Scale B (5), and the diluted beverage stock solution is further added, and the water line of the diluted drinking water is the previous Scale B.
When it matches with (5), it indicates that the diluted drinking water has reached the standard concentration. Therefore, when measuring the concentration of the diluted drinking water, when the water surface line is between the scale A (4) and the scale B (5), it indicates that the diluted drinking water at that time is thinner than the standard concentration. When the water surface line is closer to scale A (4), it indicates that it is closer to fresh water, and the water surface line is scale B (5).
A value closer to indicates that the concentration is closer to the standard concentration. And
The lower the water surface line is from the scale B (5), the denser the drinking water at that time is. (B) Whiskey or the like in which the specific gravity of the diluted beverage concentrate is less than 1.0. As shown in FIG. 3, in the case of a diluted beverage stock solution such as whiskey having a specific gravity of less than 1.0, contrary to the case of concentrated juice, when the diluted beverage stock solution is added, the concentration of the diluted drinking water gradually increases. As the specific gravity decreases, the buoyancy of the diluted beverage concentration measuring mudler decreases, and as the diluted beverage concentration measuring mudler sinks, the water level of the diluted drinking water gradually increases. Moves above the scale A (4) of the water surface line at the time of fresh water. Float a muddler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverages on the diluted drinking water prepared to a standard concentration in advance, and mark the water surface line at that time. This is scale C
(6) Further, when the stock solution of diluted beverage is added and the water line of the diluted drinking water coincides with the previous scale C (6), it indicates that the diluted drinking water has reached the standard concentration. Therefore, when measuring the concentration of the diluted drinking water, when the water surface line is between the scale A (4) and the scale C (6), it indicates that the diluted drinking water at that time is thinner than the standard concentration. When the water surface line is closer to the scale A (4), it is closer to fresh water, and when the water surface line is closer to the scale C (6), it is closer to the standard concentration. And, the higher the scale indicated by the water surface line is above the scale C (6), the more the diluted drinking water at that time is denser than the standard concentration. In this way, the muddler itself with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverage floats and sinks due to the adjustment of the concentration of the diluted drinking water, and floats the muddler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverage in the diluted drinking water made to the standard concentration in advance. Make a mark on the water surface at that time. Then, a mudler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverage is floated on the diluted drinking water to be diluted, and the diluted beverage stock solution is put on the scale so that the water surface line of the diluted drinking water matches, so that the diluted drinking water of standard concentration can be easily prepared. As another usage of the present invention, there is the following usage. That is,
If you do not measure the diluted concentration only in the condition that the muddler with concentration measuring function for diluted beverage floats and sinks, but set the scale indicating the standard concentration as follows, in addition to the state of floating and sinking, the mudler with concentration measuring function for diluted beverage It can also be measured by the degree of inclination on the water surface. In other words, if the diluted beverage concentrate to be diluted does not differ much from 1.0, which is the specific gravity of water, the mudler with concentration measuring function for diluted beverage will naturally be less likely to float, and the intervals between the scales will be narrower and difficult to see. There will be some difficulties. Then, the method of setting the scale shown below is a solution to such a difficulty. The specific gravity of the diluted beverage concentrate is 1.0
The setting method differs depending on the above or less than 1.0. (C) Concentrated juice or the like in which the specific gravity of the diluted beverage stock solution is 1.0 or more. As shown in FIG. 4, a muddler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverage is floated on the diluted drinking water which has been prepared in advance to a standard concentration. When the weight (2) is too light, the diluted beverage concentration measuring mudler does not stand vertically but floats obliquely. Then, gradually increase the weight of the weight (2), and when first standing vertically, mark the water surface line at that time. This is designated as scale D (7). Using a mudler with a measuring function for diluted beverages adjusted in this way, it is as follows. The water surface line when it is put in fresh water shows the scale A (4), and when the water surface line of the diluted drinking water is added and the water surface line of the diluted drinking water matches the previous scale D (7), the diluted drinking water is Indicates that the standard concentration has been reached. Furthermore, when the diluted beverage stock solution is added, the specific gravity of the diluted drinking water increases and the buoyancy of the muddler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverage increases, and the buoyancy becomes too large for the diluted drinking water. It can no longer float vertically on the water surface and begins to tilt on the water surface. The higher the concentration of diluted drinking water, the greater the slope. Therefore, when measuring the concentration of diluted drinking water, if the scale indicated by the water surface line is between the scale A (4) and the scale D (6), it indicates that the diluted drinking water at that time is thinner than the standard concentration. , The water line is closer to fresh water when it is closer to the scale A (4), and the water line is the scale D.
When it is closer to (6), it means that the concentration is closer to the standard concentration. Then, the muddler with concentration measuring function for diluted beverage can roughly determine how much the standard concentration is by adjusting the inclination on the water surface. A larger slope indicates that the diluted drinking water at that time is thicker than the standard concentration. (D) Whiskey or the like in which the specific gravity of the diluted beverage concentrate is less than 1.0. As shown in FIG. 5, a muddler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverage is floated on the diluted drinking water prepared in advance to a standard concentration. If the weight (2) is too light, the muddler will not stand vertically but will float diagonally. Then, gradually increase the weight of the weight (2), and when first standing vertically, mark the water surface line at that time. This is the scale E (8). Using a mudler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverages adjusted in this way is as follows. When a muddler with a concentration measurement function for diluted beverage is floated on fresh water, its buoyancy is too large for fresh water, so it floats diagonally instead of standing vertically on the water surface. After that, according to the amount as you add the diluted beverage stock solution,
When standing upright and standing vertically, it indicates that the diluted drinking water has reached a standard concentration. Furthermore, when the diluted beverage stock solution is added, the specific gravity of the diluted drinking water gradually decreases, and the buoyancy of the muddler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverage also decreases and gradually sinks. Therefore, when measuring the concentration of diluted drinking water, when the mudler with concentration measuring function for diluted beverage does not stand at all, it indicates that the diluted drinking water is almost water, and when it stands vertically, it becomes the standard concentration. Indicates. The larger the gradient of the muddler with concentration measuring function for diluted beverage is, the closer it is to water, that is, the concentration of diluted drinking water at that time is thinner. The water surface is
When it is above the scale E (8), it is darker than the standard concentration, and when it is above it, it is darker. The present invention is configured as described above, and there are the following as other embodiments. (E) As shown in FIG. 6, the side surface of the muddler body (1) is not graduated so that the water surface line can be more easily confirmed, and a plurality of rings (9) colored in several colors are also designed. A muddler with a concentration measurement function for diluted beverage marked with is also available. (F) As shown in FIG. 7, the muddler body (1) or the surface of the muddler body (1) is made of a material whose color changes depending on the temperature, and only the portion in contact with the diluted drinking water changes color. In particular, when the diluted drinking water itself is transparent or translucent, it is difficult to find out the water surface line only by the scale. In such a case, if only the water surface and below are discolored,
The position of the water surface line can be more easily visually recognized. (G) As shown in FIG. 8, a muddler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverages may be provided in which a plate-like handle portion (10) is attached to the uppermost end of the muddler main body (1). The shape of the plate-shaped handle is
There are circles, squares, triangles, etc., and pictures or letters may be written on the surface. (H) As shown in FIG. 9, a muddler with a concentration measuring function for diluted beverages in which a three-dimensional object (11) such as a doll is attached to the uppermost end of the muddler main body (1) is also possible.
