Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention aims to solve the following problems.

(Industrial Field of Application) This invention relates to a pot that can be used to hold and dispense tea, coffee, black tea or any other liquid.

(Prior art) In a conventional pot, the handle provided on the side of the main body and the main body form an insertion space large enough to insert the index finger or the index finger and the middle finger, and the shape of the upper part of the insertion space is It is shaped so that the index finger inserted into it is located far from the main body and higher than the top edge of the main body, so if you hold the handle with one hand and tilt the main body, you can use the other hand to open the lid. There was a problem in that the lid would fall off if it was not held down, making it impossible to pour a sufficient amount of liquid with one hand while keeping the lid on.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) This invention solves the problems of the Pano L in the prior art, except that the top of the lid can be inevitably pressed with the thumb of the hand holding the handle, and the liquid can be dispensed with only one hand. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pot whose lid can be prevented from falling off even when pouring.

The configuration of the present invention is as follows.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention takes the measures as described in the claims above, and its effects are as follows.

(Function) If you hold the handle by inserting at least your index finger, middle finger, and ring finger into the insertion space between the handle and the main body, you will inevitably hold the handle with the part between the first and second joints of your index finger and your thumb. , the upper end of which is then placed close to the body, and the tip of the thumb is necessarily placed on the lid. Therefore, even when pouring the liquid inside the main body by tilting the main body with only the hand holding the handle, the lid can be prevented from falling off.

(Embodiments) The drawings showing the embodiments of the present application will be explained below. In FIGS. 1 to 5, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body, which is made of ceramic material. In the main body 1, reference numeral 2 denotes a hollow cylindrical side wall, the upper half of which is formed as a small diameter portion 2a with a relatively small outer diameter, and the lower half of which is a large diameter portion that bulges laterally more roundly than the small diameter portion 2a. 2b. 3 is a bottom wall, 4 is an internal liquid chamber, 5 is an opening, and 6 is a seat provided around the opening 5, excluding a spout portion to be described later.

The inner diameter of the seat 6 is set to a size corresponding to the outer diameter of an engagement piece of the filter so that a commercially available filter, which will be described later, can be mounted thereon.

Next, reference numeral 7 denotes a viewing window that is integrally provided on one side of the main body 1, and also serves as a spout 8. Peephole 7 above
A pouring groove 8a is formed in the small diameter portion 2a so as to protrude by the same amount as or larger than that of the large diameter portion 2b, and stands up almost directly above so that the bottom of the large diameter portion 2b can be seen from directly above. It is equipped with Reference numeral 9 denotes a handle integrally provided on the other side of the main body l, the upper end of which is integrally connected to the upper edge of the main body l;
The upper end portion 9a of the handle 9, whose lower end portion is integrally connected to the large diameter portion 2b, is formed to have a small thickness (for example, about 3 to 5 to 8 fins). Moreover, the cross-sectional shape is formed into a curved shape with a concave upper side as shown in FIG. 7, so that the strength can be increased even if it is thin. Reference numeral 10 denotes an insertion space formed between the handle 9 and the main body 1, and is formed in a size that allows insertion of four fingers, the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger, as shown in FIG. The shape of the upper part of the insertion space 10 is such that when the handle 9 is held in the hand as shown in FIG. Moreover, it is formed so that it touches the lower surface of the upper end 9a of the handle 9, and the abdomen of the thumb inevitably presses the upper surface of the upper end 9a of the handle 9. Furthermore, the shape of the middle part of the insertion space 10 is such that when the handle 9 is held in the hand, the thumb is attached to the main body 1 as shown in FIG.
It is formed diagonally so that it goes into the top. The inclination angle θ of the intermediate portion 9b of the handle 9 with respect to the vertical line is 10 to 20
It is set to ~30 degrees. Reference numeral 11 denotes a commercially available resin filter, which, as is well known, is composed of a main body 11a and a retaining piece 11b projecting from the periphery of the main body 11a in the shape of a brim. It is posted. Note that the filter 11 may be a strainer net, and 12 is a lid, which is made of ceramic material like the main body 1 described above. This lid 12 is placed on the seat 6 and closes the opening 5 of the main body 1. The position of the peripheral edge 12a of the lid 12 is set to be closer to the handle 9 than the position 13 of the tip of the thumb when the handle 9 is held in the hand as shown in FIG.

For example, when extracting coffee, the filter 11 is first installed inside the main body l, and then a predetermined amount of coffee raw material is poured into the filter 11. When hot water is poured onto the raw material in the filter 11, the hot water becomes coffee liquid and accumulates at the bottom of the liquid chamber 4 of the main body 11. In this case, since the lower half of the main body 1 is formed into the large diameter portion 2b, a large amount of coffee liquid can be put into the main body 1. After pouring hot water into the raw material in the filter ll, place the lid 12 on the retaining piece 11b on the catch seat 12a,
By covering the opening 5 of the main body 1 with the lid 12 in this way, it is possible to prevent the aroma of coffee from escaping, and also to slow down the cooling of the coffee and prevent the inside of the main body 1 from escaping. can prevent dirt from entering.

Next, when pouring the coffee liquid in the main body 1 into the container, first insert four fingers into the insertion space 10 and hold the handle 9 with your hand as shown in FIG. The part between and the second joint is close to the side surface of the main body 1 and touches the lower surface of the upper end 9a of the handle 9, and the thumb inevitably presses the upper surface of the upper end 9a of the handle 9 as a habit of the hand. Hold the handle 9 between your index finger and thumb. As a result, a portion of the thumb is positioned above the main body 1 and the lid 12. Next, lift the main body 1 with the hand holding the handle 9, and tilt the main body 1 so that the spout 8 is on the lower side, as shown in FIG. As a result, the coffee liquid in the main body 1 is poured out through the pouring groove 8a of the spout 8. In this case, as the thumb of the hand gripping the handle 9 presses down on the lid 12 as described above, the MI
The lid 12 can be prevented from falling off even if the lid 12 is not pressed with the other hand. Furthermore, since the handle 9 is provided on the side of the small diameter portion 2a of the main body 1, the fingers grasping the handle 9 can be brought closer to the center of gravity of the main body 1, and as a result, the main body 1 can be easily tilted with relatively little force. can be done. Furthermore, since the spout 8 is constituted by a peephole 7 formed so that the bottom of the large diameter portion 2b can be viewed from directly above, the lower half of the main body 1 can be viewed from above. Even if it is formed in the diameter portion 2b, all the coffee liquid in the main body 1 can be poured out from the pouring groove 88 by tilting the main body 1 by approximately 90 degrees. The above-mentioned pouring out of the coffee liquid is performed by extracting the coffee inside the main body 1 with the lid 12 covering the filter 11.
Can be poured immediately without processing.

Next, if you want to check the amount of coffee liquid in the main body 1, raise the main body 1 as shown in FIG. The amount of coffee liquid can be visually checked, and even if the main body 1 and the lid 12 are opaque, the amount of coffee liquid in the main body 1 can be visually checked without removing the lid 12.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, in the present invention, by removing the lid 12 from the top of the main body 1 and opening the opening 5, liquid can be easily supplied into the main body 1 from the opening 5, and By covering the opening 5 with the lid 12, it is possible to slow down the liquid in the main body 1 and prevent dirt from entering the main body.

When pouring the liquid in the main body 1, insert at least the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger into the insertion space 1o, grasp the handle, and tilt the main body 1 so that the bottom part is higher than the spout 8. liquid can be easily poured from the spout 8.

In addition, when pouring liquid from the spout 8 by tilting the main body 1 as described above with the lid 12 still on, the part between the first joint and the second joint of the index finger inserted into the insertion space 10 is inserted into the main body 1.
and touches the lower surface of the highest part of the upper end 9a of the handle 9, and the thumb inevitably presses the upper end 9a of the handle 9, and the tip of the thumb is positioned above the upper surface of the lid 12. This prevents accidents such as the lid 12 on the main body 1 falling off and getting dirty when holding the handle 9 casually with one hand and holding the main body 1 thickly (even when tilted, the lid 12 on the main body 1 may fall off and get dirty), and can be used with only one hand. This has the effect that all the liquid inside the main body 1 can be poured out.
