The main body 10 is injection molded from a transparent or translucent synthetic resin material such as polypropylene (PP). The main body 10 has a predetermined volume of the inner space 12 with the lower end closed and the upper end open, and a predetermined amount of the liquid A is accommodated in the inner space 12.

The liquid A as described above is a beverage having a predetermined shelf life in the air or in a vacuum, and includes, for example, water, milk, coffees, medicinal herbs, various teas or grain beverages.

The subbody 20 is a lid that can substantially seal the open end of the main body 10, is provided with a sealed space in which a predetermined auxiliary content (B) is stored and to open the sealed space forcibly by a predetermined external force. The storage / opening means 30 and the discharge member 40 communicating with the internal space 12 of the main body 10 are integrally formed. The subbody 20 is injection molded from a transparent or translucent synthetic resin material like the main body 10. The lower edge of the subbody 20 is in contact with the upper edge of the main body 10.

The auxiliary contents B described above are selectively discharged from the closed space of the subbody 20 by the storage / opening means 30 to be mixed with the liquid contained in the internal space 12 of the main body 10 or It itself has a powder wire that can be dissolved in the liquid. More specifically, the auxiliary content (B) includes a baby food, rice powder, yulmu powder, soybean powder, sesame powder, etc. having various nutrients that are easy to lack in the human body. In addition, the auxiliary content (B) may be provided with powdered supplements and medicines such as powdered milk, coffee, cream, sugar, granular vitamins or fatigue recovery agents, granular herbal medicines. In addition, the auxiliary content (B) is not limited to having a powdered food as described above, it may be provided with a liquid such as a preference food consisting of a liquid, for example, prim liquid, sugar syrup.

The storage / opening means 30 may include a storage part 31 capable of accommodating a predetermined amount of auxiliary contents B, and an aluminum thin plate 32 capable of substantially sealing the internal space 34 of the storage part 31. And a break portion 33 accommodated in the internal space 34 of the storage portion 31 to break the thin aluminum plate 32.

The storage part 31 has an internal space 34 that can accommodate the auxiliary contents B, and protrudes into a dome shape so as to be deformable by a predetermined external force. The storage unit 31 is provided with a hole 35 through which the internal space 34 and the internal space 12 of the main body 10 can communicate with each other. Therefore, the auxiliary content B can be accommodated in the internal space 34 of the storage part 31 through the hole 35. More specifically, the storage part 31 is composed of an upper surface formed in a substantially elliptical shape, a side surface extending round from the upper surface to the lower side, and a bottom surface on which the hole 35 as described above is provided. Here, it is preferable that the storage portion 31 is formed to be substantially thicker than the thickness of the side surface of the upper surface. That is, when a predetermined external force acts on the hole 35 side with respect to the upper surface of the storage unit 31, the storage unit 31 has a structure in which the side surface thereof can be easily deformed by the thickness difference from the upper surface. Alternatively, the storage unit 31 may have a structure in which the side surface is corrugated in a bellows shape.

The aluminum thin plate 32 is a film that can be easily broken by a sharp tool, and for sealing the hole 35 in a state where the auxiliary contents B are accommodated in the internal space 34 of the storage part 31. will be.
