Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a tea ceremony vending container that is handled inside a train or the like, and is particularly characterized by an easy fitting of a cap.

(Conventional technology) A tea ceremony container is a container that serves as both a teapot and a teacup.
In particular, a cap is fitted over the hot water spout to prevent the tea water from spilling out even if the container is tipped on its side.

In other words, the container for selling tea ceremony has a hanging handle formed on the top of the container body so that the container can be hung, and also has a spout formed at the top of the container body, from which the container can be hung. It is designed to pour out tea water. This spout also serves as a hot water inlet and a drinking spout, and is relatively large.A male thread is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the spout, and a cap is screwed into this spout. It is meant to be worn.

By the way, when selling tea tea, boiling water is poured into the container immediately before selling the tea, in other words, just before drinking the tea, so in many cases the cap is fitted manually. Therefore, it is important that the cap can be fitted easily and quickly in a tea ceremony container, but as mentioned above, conventional tea ceremony containers have a cap that is attached to the spout. Since it is designed to fit by screwing together the cap, it is necessary to repeat this operation at least several times in order to fit the cap, which makes it troublesome to fit the cap. This became a bottleneck in selling tea ceremony.

(Objective of the Invention) An object of the present invention is to reliably fit the cap into the spout with the minimum amount of movement, thereby shortening the time required for fitting and increasing the sales efficiency of tea ceremony.

(Summary of the invention) The present invention takes advantage of the fact that tea ceremony containers are molded using a synthetic resin with appropriate elasticity and flexibility, such as polyethylene, and has a protrusion on the outer periphery of the spout. A screw thread is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the cap to intersect with the protrusion, and the cap is fixed to the spout by engaging the protrusion with the protrusion.

(Examples) Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described based on illustrated examples.

In the figure, numeral 1 is a container, and 2 is a cap.

The container 1 is a type of teapot molded using a synthetic resin having appropriate elasticity and flexibility, such as polyethylene,
A hanger 4 is formed on the top of the container body 3 so that the object can be carried by hand, and a spout 5 is also formed in the top of the container body from which the tea ceremony can be poured. It is meant to be poured out. Further, this container 1 also serves as a teacup, and the spout 5 is formed upward and is relatively large, so that the tea ceremony can be directly drunk from there. The spout 5 has a protrusion 7 extending outward over its entire circumference at a position slightly lower than its upper edge 6, and further below that, several guide protrusions 8 are formed in the vertical direction. . This protrusion 7 corresponds to a male thread formed on the spout of a conventional tea tea vending container of this type, and due to its elasticity and flexibility, it is designed to engage with the thread 9 of the cap 2, which will be described later. It has become. In addition, the guide protrusion 8 is connected to the cap 2.
The inner surface of the cap 2 and the spout 5 when it is placed over the spout 5
The posture of the cap 2 with respect to the spout 5 is maintained by reducing the gap created between the cap 2 and the outer circumferential surface of the spout 5. Therefore, it is not necessarily necessary to make this shape.

In short, it is sufficient if the play between the cap 2 and the spout 5 can be reduced so that the cap 2 can fit into the spout 5 without being biased to either side. ,for example.

There is no problem even if this part of the spout 5 is uniformly bulged over the entire surface. The cap 2 covers the pouring spout 5 to prevent the vicinity of the upper edge 6 from getting dirty, and also seals it to prevent the contents of the tea liquid from spilling out even if the container 1 is tipped on its side. In particular, it is formed so that it can be fitted into the spout 5 with an extremely simple operation.

That is, two or more, preferably
Three to four screw threads 9 are provided protrudingly. This screw thread 9 goes without saying.
This corresponds to a female thread formed on the inner circumferential surface of the spout 5, and engages with the protrusion 7 of the spout 5, as described above. Therefore, the screw thread 9 is inclined by several degrees to several degrees with respect to the protrusion 7, so that when the cap 2 is fitted into the spout 5, this intersects with the protrusion 7. The diameter of the circle drawn by the ridgeline is formed to be slightly smaller than the diameter of the ridgeline of the protrusion 7, and the screw thread 9 bites into the protrusion 7 at the point where it intersects with the protrusion 7. In addition, the code 10 is a circular protrusion for sealing the spout 5,
The diameter of the circle drawn by the ridgeline is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the upper edge 6 of the spout 5, and the diameter of the base is slightly larger, so that the cap 2 can be fitted into the spout 5. The upper edge 6 is pressed against the outer slope of the circular protrusion 10.

(effect) When fitting the cap 2 to the spout 5.

First, hold the cap 2 in your hand and place it over the spout 5,
The circular protrusion lO enters the upper edge 6 of the spout 5, and the upper edge 6
Push it down until it contacts the outer surface of the circular protrusion 10. At this time, the screw thread 9 descends to the same height as the protrusion 7, but as mentioned above, since the container is molded using a synthetic resin having appropriate elasticity and flexibility, , the protrusion 7 is pushed by the thread 9 and deforms inward, and the thread 9 intersects with the protrusion 7 (see FIG. 2 (a)). Then, when the cap 2 is twisted to the right, the deformed part that intersects with the thread 9 of the protrusion 7 becomes a female thread.
The cap 2 is screwed into the spout 5 in the same way as when the thread 9 acts like a male thread and is screwed into the protrusion 7. At this time, the range of the deformed portion of the protrusion 7 becomes narrower, the screw thread 9 bites into the protrusion 7, and the cap 2 is fixed to the spout 5. By the way, as mentioned above, when fitting the cap 2, first push it until the upper edge 6 of the spout 5 comes into contact with the outer surface of the circular protrusion 10 and the cap 2 cannot be lowered. Since it is pressed down, cap 2
The twisting angle is small, at most a few degrees to a few tens of degrees. That is, by doing it like this.

Since the upper edge of the spout 5 is pressed against the outer surface of the circular protrusion 10, the spout 5 is completely sealed.

(Effects) As detailed above, the present invention takes advantage of the fact that the tea ceremony vending container is molded using a synthetic resin such as polyethylene that has appropriate elasticity and flexibility, and the outer circumference of the spout of the container is A protrusion is formed on the surface, and several screw threads are formed on the inner surface of the cap that intersect with the protrusion.Simply place the cap over the spout and turn it slightly to remove the threads. The cap engages with the protrusion, creating a threaded state, and the cap is securely fitted into the spout.
