Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention makes effective use of the original shape of the molding in a teapot, and uses a strainer that is particularly inexpensive to assemble and disassemble, as well as molding, and achieves a particularly good straining effect. The present invention relates to the disclosure of a teapot structure that is expected to be effective.

Various improvements have been attempted in the past on the strainer structure of this type of teapot, but all of them had their advantages and disadvantages and were not necessarily satisfactory. Particularly in products that are intended to have a sufficient straining function, the structure of the product or the structure of the assembly surface is complicated, which increases the product cost and makes it difficult to put on and take off. In addition, the strainer structure, which is particularly simple in structure and designed to reduce product molding costs, reduce installation costs, and be easy to put on and take off, has had difficulties in sufficiently capturing and straining out used tea leaves. It is.

The teapot with a tea strainer according to the present invention was specially devised in view of the inconveniences of the strainer structure in the prior art. In addition, we aim to reduce the cost of forming the teapot by eliminating the need for any special mounting structure on the assembled teapot body, and at the same time, we aim to reduce the cost of forming the teapot. The strainer has a sturdy structure that can withstand continuous use and avoid accidents.

Furthermore, it is particularly easy to attach and remove the strainer, the attached strainer does not come off from the pouring spout even during unusual movements such as shaking out the teapot, and the strainer surface is especially widened to prevent the attachment of used tea leaves. The gist of its structure is to provide grooves on the inside bottom of the teapot along the rising peripheral wall and on the inside top surface of the teapot along the rising peripheral wall. The tea strainer, which is spring-stretched by engaging the free end portions facing each of the grooves with the eggplant, is placed at a point so as to close the front side of the spout of the teapot as follows. Specific examples and significant design changes associated with these examples are planned.

A typical embodiment of the teapot with a tea strainer according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings, where a indicates a teapot, b indicates a strainer, and the strainer b is inserted through the opening i in the teapot a. , which is attached to the teapot so as to have a necessary elastic force to close the front part of the pouring spout 2 of the teapot a, thereby preventing the outflow of used tea leaves.

Thus, the teapot a has a groove 5 between the lower end of the peripheral wall 3 and the peripheral side of the bottom surface 4, and a groove 5 between the upper end of the peripheral wall 3 and the inner peripheral side of the jaw 6 of the teapot opening 1. A concave groove 7 is provided in the holder so that the shaving tool b can be engaged therewith. Although the grooves 5 and 7 are typically formed in an annular shape extending along the upper and lower ends of the peripheral wall 3, they may also be provided only at the front of the spout 2. It was planned. In addition, it was planned that the joining edges of the surfaces or the gently curved concave surfaces of the jaws 6 would be recognized as the grooves 5 and 7, without forming a clear groove shape as in the illustrated example. It is.

Next, the sifting tool b to be attached is usually made of a flat-shaped sifting net 8 having elasticity, and its upper and lower ends 8a and 8b are made into parallel surfaces that engage the grooves 5 and 7. Both sides 8c of the upper and lower ends 8a and 8b,
8c is expanded so as to come into contact with the three surfaces of the rising peripheral wall.

The composition ratio of the upper and lower ends 8a, 8b and both sides 8c is the same as the grooves 5, 7 provided in each teapot.
It is set appropriately according to the circumferential ratio of , the rising dimension and the swelling dimension of the peripheral wall 3, but since the sieving net 8 itself has sufficient elasticity, the installation of the sieving net 8 is generally a one-size-fits-all method. The extra net portion bulged out toward the two spouts of teapot A and was absorbed.

Next, a frame 9 is prepared to reinforce the elasticity of the sifting tool b mentioned above, or to provide elasticity to replace the elasticity of the sifting net 8, and a sifting net is attached to the frame 9. 8 is separately planned for use, and as shown in the illustrated example, various frame shapes are planned, and a frame extending outward from the frame 9, that is, on three sides of the peripheral wall of the teapot a. It is further planned that the abutting end surface be made of a tongue piece 10 made of a resin plate or the like having particular flexibility and elasticity.

In addition, the sieve net 8, frame 9, tongue piece 1 in the story
0 and the like are resin materials having elasticity such as polypropylene, stainless steel materials, natural resin materials, etc., which are appropriately selected and used as a single material or a composite material.

The strainer b constructed in this manner is engaged and installed in the annular grooves 5 and 7 of the teapot a with the upper and lower ends 8a and 8b bent, that is, in a state that generates sufficient elastic force. As a result, the strainer b is elastically supported between the grooves 5 and 7, and with the curved locking of the upper and lower ends 8a and 8b, both sides 8c and 8c are elastically and pressed against the three peripheral walls of the teapot a, forming the pouring spout. The two parts and the inside of the teapot are clearly separated to ensure that used tea leaves, etc., do not leak out.

In addition, make a cutting line 11 on the upper or lower part of the strainer b,
If these straining utensils b are particularly too large for the teapot a being used and their bulges are extreme, it is planned that they will be cut out and used in a modified manner.

The teapot with a tea strainer according to the present invention has the characteristic structure described above, and in particular, by making use of grooves that are usually provided in the molding of teapots, or by emphasizing the molding of these grooves. A structure for attaching the skiving tool b can be prepared easily and without increasing the molding cost, and by making the skiving tool b into a simple plate shape, it is possible to reduce the molding cost and at the same time make it easy to put on and take off. This product is designed to ensure that general consumers can wear and use the product reliably.

In addition, since the strainer b to be attached is attached with sufficient tension, it will not come off even when the hot water moves, especially during the shaking operation, and the attachment surfaces are only the grooves 5 and 7. As a result, there was no room for detachment due to missing or damaged attachment structures.

Furthermore, in such a strainer structure, the front part of the pouring spout 2 is made into a net with large sections, so the straining surface is extremely widened, and the pouring surface is extremely widened due to clogging with used tea leaves. Most problems with defects have been avoided, and continued good use is guaranteed.
