Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a teapot and a method for manufacturing the teapot, in which the teapot is provided with a lid placing portion capable of holding the lid portion of the teapot.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional teapot, when a tea is consumed, the lid portion provided at the upper opening of the teapot is removed,
Tea leaves are put in from the opening, and the tea is poured and brewed through an arbitrary tea strainer and poured into a tea cup or the like. In this case, the lid can be removed and the lid can be placed in a tubular shape or the like. It is placed on a lid placing member different from the teapot, or placed directly on a table or tatami mat.

[0003]

However, if the lid placing member of the lid portion is separated from the teapot, it is necessary to manufacture a lid placing member on which the lid portion can be placed. It is disadvantageous for consumers because it requires various costs associated with the material itself, and also has a drawback in terms of economy. Also,
By directly placing it on a table or tatami without using the lid placing member, it is unsanitary, and further, it is unstable when placed, so that it may be damaged by dropping, etc.
It is very common. As described above, various problems have arisen with respect to the placement of the conventional teapot, especially the lid portion. Therefore, the present invention does not use a separate lid placing member other than the teapot, and without changing the basic form of the conventionally used teapot, only by fitting and locking the lid member,
Easy and reliable placement is possible, there is no need to use separate parts as in the past, which is advantageous for consumers, and the manufacturer has modified the spout part that has been conventionally used. Since the lid placing portion can be formed by adhering to the main body of the teapot, it is easy to manufacture, and therefore, the economical effect as a whole is high, and the object thereof is to provide.

[0004]

The present invention was created to solve the above problems, and firstly, an opening for supplying tea leaves from the outside and then pouring a liquid,
A teapot body having a hot water outlet for pouring liquid outside,
A teapot which is provided at a position corresponding to the hot water outlet of the teapot main body and has a pouring portion having a tea pouring passage communicating with the hot water outlet, and a joining portion between the teapot main body and the pouring portion, A lid placing portion for placing the lid portion of the teapot body is provided near the joint portion. In the teapot of this first configuration, without changing the basic form of the conventional teapot, without attaching a separate member, without using a separate component as in the conventional, and use Since the lid placing portion is formed as a structure that does not cause any trouble in this case, it is highly economical for consumers and manufacturers.

Secondly, the teapot of the first construction is characterized in that the lid placing portion has a notched portion provided on an upper portion of the spout portion. In the teapot of this second configuration, the lid placing portion is a notched portion provided on the top of the conventionally used spout portion, so that it can be detachably attached to the opening portion when drinking tea. The lid can be placed in a stable upright position simply by lifting the lid with the lid handle, removing it from the opening, and fitting it into the notch nearby. Can be put in.

Thirdly, the teapot of the second construction is characterized in that the lid placing portion is formed in a concave shape by the cutout portion and the outer wall portion of the teapot body. It is a thing.
In the teapot of the third configuration, as described above, the lid placing portion, the joint portion of the spout portion, and the notch-like portion formed by recessing the vicinity of the joint portion in the notch shape, and this. Since the outer wall portion of the main body wall portion of the corresponding teapot body is formed in a concave shape, it can be formed by using the basic form of the teapot that has been conventionally practiced, so that the structure is extremely simple.

Fourthly, the teapot of the second or third construction, wherein the shape of the notch portion is such that the back side of the lid portion faces the tip side of the spout portion. It is characterized in that it is formed so that the can be placed. In the teapot of the fourth configuration, the shape of the cutout portion is such that the back surface side of the lid portion is directed toward the tip end side of the spout and the outside corresponding to the cutout portion. With the wall part, just by fitting the lid part in a locking shape, you can stably place it in the upright state,
Therefore, handling is extremely easy and reliable.

Further, it is a method for manufacturing a teapot having a fifth structure, which has a pouring passage, a joint portion to the main body of the teapot, and a cutout portion provided in the vicinity of the joint portion. And a step of attaching the pouring portion to the outer wall portion of the teapot body so that the tea pouring path of the pouring portion and the hot water outlet of the teapot body correspond to each other. It is a manufacturing method. In the fifth aspect of the method for manufacturing a teapot, the tea pouring passage, a joint portion to the teapot body at the end of the teapot, and a cutout formed in a notch shape provided in the vicinity of the joint portion. The step of manufacturing a pouring portion having a notch-shaped portion, and the pouring portion such that the tea pouring passage and the pouring opening correspond to the outer wall portion of the teapot main body having the pouring opening opened in the main body wall portion. And the step of adhering, the lid placing portion is formed along with adhering the spout portion to the outer wall portion of the main body wall portion of the teapot main body, which is extremely easy to manufacture and also increases the manufacturing cost. Without it, it will be advantageous to manufacturers and consumers.
