Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention relates to a tea filter that is fixed to the opening edge of a pot teapot, etc., and is particularly versatile and can be used for containers such as teapots, pots, and cups of various sizes. Concerning a hanging ring for tea filters.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a bowl-shaped tea filter made of aluminum plastic or mesh with a plurality of small holes has been used as a tea filter that is attached to the opening edge of a pot, teapot, etc.

Problems with the conventional technology However, with this type of tea filter for teapots, even if tea filters of various sizes are made, the shapes and sizes of teapots and pots are different, so there is a problem with the opening rim. There was a problem that it could not be locked.

Means for Solving the Problems The universal tea filter hooking ring according to the present invention has appropriate elasticity and is used to lock the tea filter body to a teapot or the like.

An outward flange is formed at the upper end of this engaging ring, and an inward flange is formed at the lower end.

Cutting portions are formed at predetermined intervals at one location on this engaging ring.

On the other hand, the tea filter main body has an edge formed at the upper end of the filtration part, and this edge engages on the upward flange of the hooking ring.

Furthermore, an extension part 8 is formed at one end or both ends of the ring-shaped part in the cutout part, and is in contact with the rear side of the other end of the ring-shaped part or the rear side of another ring-shaped part.

Embodiments Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 4, 1 is a teapot and 2 is a lid. A stepped portion 1b is formed at the opening edge 1a of the teapot 1. 3 is a tea filter, which is composed of a hanging ring 4 and a tea filter body 5.

The engaging ring 4 has a short cylindrical ring-shaped portion 4.
c, an outward flange 4a formed at the upper end of the ring-shaped portion 4c, and an inward flange 4b formed at the lower end, and is made of elastic synthetic resin. The outward flange 4a
is engaged with the stepped portion 1b of the teapot 1, while an edge 5a of a tea filter main body 5, which will be described later, is engaged with the inward flange 4b.

This engaging ring 4 is 1 as shown in Figs.
Cutting portions 6 are formed at predetermined intervals in the axial direction. One or both ends of the ring-shaped portion 4c in this cut-out portion are extended to form an extension portion 8.

Effect According to the present invention, when the diameter of the opening 1a of the teapot 1 is medium as shown in FIG.
Attach the outward flange to b.

Then, the edge 5a of the small tea filter 3 is engaged with the inward flange 4b of the engagement ring 1. At this time, an edge 5 is attached to the innermost part of the inward flange 4b.
The outer edges of a are engaged. At this time, since the extension part 8 abuts the gap between the cutout part 6 and the rear side of the other end of the ring-shaped part 4c, the gap by the cutout part 6 is completely closed and no tea leaves leak.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, when the diameter of the teapot 1 is the smallest, both ends of the cutout 6 are brought into contact with each other so as to reduce the diameter of the engagement ring 4, and the tea strainer 5 is engaged with this. let

At this time, the edge 5a completely overlaps the upper surface of the inward flange 4b.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the opening of the teapot 1 is the largest, the same engagement ring 4 is used and a large-diameter tea strainer 7 is used. At this time, the edge 7 of the large diameter tea filter 7
When a is engaged with engagement ring 1, engagement ring 1
Its diameter is widened and can be engaged with teapots with large diameters.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, if the extension part 8 is formed rearward by the thickness of the ring-shaped part 4c, the ring-shaped part 4c will also be flush even when the outward flange 4a is tight.

Note that the engagement ring may be made of any material other than metal.

Effects of the invention According to the versatile tea filter according to the invention, as long as there are one or two hanging rings with different diameters and one to three tea filters, various sizes can be created by arbitrary combinations. This has the effect of providing a tea strainer that fits perfectly in the teapot. Moreover, even if the diameter of the engagement ring is expanded and used, the extension part will not block the cutout part and the tea leaves will not spill out. In addition, the extension part has a structure in which only the ring-shaped part excluding the outward flange and inward flange is extended to one or both ends of the engaging ring, so the extension part can be stacked behind the ring-shaped part or the extension parts can be stacked together. In this case, both ends of the outward flange and both ends of the inward flange do not overlap, and the edge of the tea filter body is flatly locked to the inward flange, and the lid of the teapot etc. is also placed on the top surface of the outward flange. It has the effect of being stably held.
