Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a tea strainer that is detachably attached to the opening formed between the body and the spout of a tea sencha to prevent tea leaves from flowing out. be.

The purpose is to provide a tea strainer having a structure that can firmly maintain the state of attachment to the opening and can be manufactured at low cost.

The drawings showing the embodiments of the present application will be described below.

Reference numeral 1 designates a well-known tea cup, 2 a body, 3 an opening, 4 an outer wall of the opening, 5 a spout, and 6 a lid.

7 shows a tea strainer attached to the opening 3.

In this tea strainer 7, reference numeral 8 indicates a base plate, 9 indicates a surface that abuts against the tea cup, and 10 indicates a retaining material surface.

Reference numeral 11 indicates a through hole drilled in the center of the substrate.

Reference numeral 12 indicates an overlapping piece extending toward the stopper surface 10 at the periphery of the substrate 8.

13 is a mesh body provided so as to cover the through hole 11;
The periphery of the net 13 is positioned between the retaining material surface of the substrate 8 and the overlapping piece 12, and the periphery of the net 13 is bonded between the overlapping piece 12 and the substrate 8 in the form of a sandwich material, thereby connecting the substrate 8 and the net 13. Integration is being planned.

This net body 13 is made of a sanitary and heat-resistant material such as VOPP propylene.

Next, reference numeral 14 denotes a stopper body that projects on the side of the abutment surface 9 of the substrate 8.

In this stopper body 14, reference numeral 15 denotes an engaging member, and the through hole 11
It consists of an insertion piece 16 projecting from the edge of the hole and a retaining piece 17 provided at the tip of the insertion piece.

The insertion piece 16 is formed into an arc shape as shown in the figure, and its radius is formed to be approximately the same as the radius of the opening 3 in the tea sencha 1.

Further, the length is formed to be approximately the same as the thickness of the body at the opening 3.

In the engaging piece 17, reference numeral 18 indicates a guide surface, and reference numeral 19 indicates a retaining surface, and as shown in FIG. 4, these are connected in a dogleg shape.

Next, reference numeral 20 indicates a connecting piece that connects adjacent retaining members 15, and a connecting piece element 21 connected to one engaging member 15 and a connecting piece element 21 connected to the other engaging member 15.
As a result, as shown in FIG. 3, it is configured in a V-shape when viewed from the axial direction of the substrate 8 (left-right direction in FIG. 4).

Reference numeral 22 indicates a connecting portion between both connecting piece elements 21 and 21.

The substrate 8, the polymer piece 12, and the fastener 14 are integrally formed by blow molding a sanitary and heat-resistant material, such as PP propylene.

Therefore, in the connecting piece element 21 of the connecting piece 20,
The connecting portion 22 and the portions near it are thickest and become thinner toward the tip, that is, as the distance from the axis of the substrate 8 increases.

Note that the fastening body 14 has three retaining members] 5 and a connecting piece 2.
0, but it may be constructed with a larger number of engaging members 15 and connecting pieces 20.

The tea strainer 7 having the above structure is used by fitting the fixing member 14 into the opening 3 of the tea sencha 1, as shown in FIG.

In this case, the engagement piece 17 has a guide surface 18 as shown in FIG. Each retaining member is guided by the surface 18 and deflects in the direction of arrow A.

Therefore, the operation of inserting the retaining member 15 into the opening 3 can be easily performed.

When the engaging pieces 17 of the engaging members 15 pass through the openings 3, each engaging member 15 returns to its original state due to its own elasticity and the elasticity of the connecting pieces 20.
As shown in FIG. 4, the engaging surface 19 engages with the hole edge of the outer wall surface of the opening 3. As shown in FIG.

Therefore, in this state, the tea strainer 7 is prevented from falling off from the opening 3.

Also, in this case, the connecting piece element 21 in the connecting piece 20 is the third
As is clear from the figure, since the surface is approximately radial around the axis of the tea strainer 7, even if the engagement member 15 tries to bend in the direction of arrow A, the connecting piece element 21 becomes a tension shape. Prevent that deflection.

Therefore, the state in which the tea strainer 7 is fixed to the opening 3 as described above is firmly maintained.

Furthermore, in the above case, each connecting piece element 21 is thickest near the connecting part 22, so the engaging member 15 as described above is thickest near the connecting part 22.
The effect of preventing deflection in the direction of arrow A is extremely large, and therefore the above-mentioned state of the retaining member is maintained more firmly.

In the above-mentioned installed state, when trying to pour out tea from the tea sencha utensil 1 through the spout 5 in the same manner as a well-known tea strainer, the mesh 13 prevents tea leaves from flowing out into the spout 5. Only tea is poured out from the spout 5 through the net body 13 and the through holes 11.

As described above, in this invention, the substrate 8 is transparent (Lll
In addition, a tea strainer net 13 covering the through hole 11 is attached to one surface of the substrate 8, and a retaining member 15 is attached to the other surface of the substrate 8, so that the structure shown in FIG. By attaching the tea strainer 7 to the tea sencha utensil 1 as shown in the figure, it is possible to prevent tea from being poured out from within the tea sencha utensil.

Moreover, in the installed state, the engagement piece 17 engages with the outer wall surface of the body to prevent the tea strainer 7 from falling off. Each engaging member 15 is always in a state of being stretched toward the outer circumference, and the engaging piece 17 of the engaging member 15 maintains a retained state with less risk of being pulled toward the inner circumference, that is, with less risk of coming off. Furthermore, since the engaging member 15, connecting piece 20, substrate 8, etc. of the present invention have a shape that can be manufactured by blow molding, there is also a structural advantage that they can be manufactured at extremely low cost.
