Description

Beverage containers and spice containers

The present invention relates to the field of beverage container technology, specifically beverage containers and flavor containers.

Because water is colorless and odorless, it rarely arouses the desire to drink it, but juice is different. Most people like juice, and sweet juice smells very attractive in the mouth, so we don't feel any pain when drinking juice, but drinking a lot of juice is not good for the body, and people suffering from diabetes also drink juice. You must not drink it.

In general, the flavor of a beverage is determined by smell and taste. The human tongue can taste five tastes (sweet, bitter, sour, salty, and fresh), and smell is responsible for 80% of taste. This also shows why we can't always taste anything when we have a cold and a stuffy nose. For this reason, it is necessary to design beverage containers so that people think they are drinking juice when they drink water, thereby increasing their desire to drink healthy boiled water.

In response to the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a container and a flavor container for beverages, and solves the problem that although people currently have little desire to drink purified water, drinking beverages for a long period of time is harmful to the body.

In order to implement the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions. Drink containers,

Mounted on the part 24, and then the mounting part 24 on which the spice container 23 and the straw part 22 are mounted is mounted on the neck part 21a of the container body 21, and the neck part 21a ) blocks the opening.

When using, first remove the lid (25), remove the mounting part (24), and fill the container body (21) of the beverage container (20) with water (26) from the opening of the neck portion (21a). , When the user drinks water 26, he separates the lid 25 from the container body 21, places his mouth on the inlet 22b and inhales air, and the water 26 is sucked in along the straw 22a. That is, you can drink the water 26 inside, and the straw 22a is covered, for example, by a transparent straw lid, etc., and the straw 22a penetrates the straw lid installed on the straw stand 22c, and the straw stand 22c is mounted on

The lid 25 serves as a cover, and when the user does not use the beverage container 20, if the lid 25 is attached to the container body 21, it covers the inlet 22b of the straw 22a. In this way, the suction port 22b of the straw 22a is hygienic because it is not exposed to the outside. In addition, when the beverage container 20 is placed in a bag, the straw 22a rubs against the lining of the bag, It is possible to prevent the straw 22a from being damaged due to collision with an internal object, and even if the water 26 overflows, the bag and the internal object do not get wet.

The straw (22a) is provided with a suction hole (22d), and the suction hole (22d) is installed in a hole on the side of the straw (22a), and the flavor (27) is supplied from the supply hole (23f) disposed in the flavor container (23). ), and receives the flavor 27 from the suction hole 22d, and the flavor 27 is mixed with air as bubbles in the water 26 sucked into the straw 22a, and the drink itself is water 26. , What the user feels is a beverage with a flavor (27), and since most human tastes come from smells, by mixing various flavors into simple water (26), it is still water (26), but the user is drinking a beverage with this flavor. We can be mistaken, and this embodiment takes advantage of this human illusion.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the user wants to fill the container body 21 with water 26, by separating the mounting part 24 from the neck part 21a, the opening of the neck part 21a can be easily opened. Water 26 can be replenished from the portion, and after replenishing the water 26, the user attaches the mounting portion 24 to the neck portion 21a again to block the opening of the neck portion 21a, The water 26 replenished in the container body 21 is sealed in the beverage container 20. In addition, the end of the straw 22a opposite the suction port 22b extends to the lowest part of the container body 21, and the end of the straw 22a opposite the suction port 22b may be bent at a predetermined position, like this. By bending the front end of the straw 22a, the user can completely drink the filled water 26 by slightly tilting the beverage container 20. In addition, the container body 21 is made of metal or plastic, but is not limited to this and may be resin or alloy. In this embodiment, the container body 21 is made of stainless steel, and the container body 21 is made of stainless steel. It may be a commercially available plastic bottle of bottled water or soft drink (e.g., a PET bottle), a glass bottle, etc. In this case, a part that can directly insert the flavor container 23 into the drinking port of a commercially available plastic bottle or glass bottle, etc. All that is needed is the perfume container 23, which can be made small and attached directly to the bottle mouth of a commercially available plastic bottle or glass bottle, without using any parts.

Referring to Figures 4-5, the flavor container 23 is an overall ring-shaped (donut-shaped) part, and the straw 22a penetrates the hole formed in the center of the flavor container 23, that is, the central hole 23a. The diameter of the central hole 23a may be large enough for the straw 22a to pass through, but the inner peripheral surface of the spice container 23, which will be described later, is close to the straw 22a.

The spice container 23 includes a perfume container body 23b and a top cover 23c, and the perfume container body 23b has a bottom surface 23d, and a vertical direction along the outer and inner circumferences of the bottom surface 23d. It is provided with an outer circumferential wall and an inner circumferential wall installed, and the spice container 23 is entirely surrounded by the bottom surface 23d, the outer circumference wall, and the inner circumference wall, and becomes an annular groove open upward in the vertical direction, that is, the perfume container 23 The barrel body 23b is a ring-shaped part with an open top, and when the top cover 23c covers the upper part of the perfume barrel body 23b, the upwardly open groove is closed and the inside of the perfume barrel 23 is closed. is sealed.

A sponge 23h is provided inside the flavor container 23, that is, in the groove portion, and the flavor 27 permeates the sponge 23h. When the flavor container 23 is sealed, the inside of the flavor container 23 is Spices (27) are filled.

The bottom surface 23d of the spice container body 23b is provided with an inlet hole 23e through which external air is introduced into the interior. In addition, a supply hole (23f) is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the spice container body (23b), and the supply hole (23f) penetrates into the sponge (23h) to release the flavor (27) stored in the perfume container body (23b) into a perfume. It is supplied to the outside of the container 23, and the flavor 27 flowing out from the supply hole 23f is supplied to the straw 22a.

In the straw (22a), a suction hole (22d) is provided at a position corresponding to the supply hole (23f), and the supply hole (23f) and the suction hole (22d) are in close communication, so the flavor (27) is transmitted along with the air through the straw ( 22a) is mixed with the inhaled water (26).

Two gripping parts (23g) are provided on the outside of the spice container (23), and the user can rotate the flavoring container (23) by holding the gripping portions (23g). Although in the example, the flavor container (23) has two gripping parts (23g), Although the gripping portion (23g) is provided, the quantity of the gripping portion (23g) is not limited.

In addition, a protruding portion 23i is provided on the outside of the spice container 23 to fix the position of the perfume container 23, that is, by rotating the flavor container 23, the protruding portion 23i is attached to the mounting portion 24. ), when fitted with the concave portion 24a, the rotation of the spice container 23 is stopped and the flavor container 23 is fixed in a predetermined position, for example, the protruding portion 23i is connected to the concave portion 24a. In the fitted state, the suction hole 22d of the straw 22a and the supply hole 23f of the flavor container 23 are in communication, and the flavor 27 is mixed with air in the water 26 as bubbles, When the user applies force to rotate the spice container 23, the protruding portion 23i is separated from the concave portion 24a, the suction hole 22d and the supply hole 23f are not in communication, and the This is water (26) with no fragrance mixed in.

Next, the flow of fragrance 27 and air 28 inside the spice container 23 will be described. The flow direction of the air 28 flowing into the interior from the inlet hole 23e of the bottom surface 23d of the spice container 23 changes from an upward flow in the vertical direction to a direction parallel to the bottom surface 23d. In this case, the air 28 is divided into two directions, and the air 28 divided into two directions flows half a turn inside the spice container 23, and the air 28 that flows half a turn changes direction and changes the direction of the flavor container (28). It flows in the direction of the central hole 23a of 23) and is supplied to the straw 22a from the supply hole 23f.

The inlet hole (23e) and the supply hole (23f) are arranged in a diagonal position. In other words, the inlet hole (23e) and the supply hole (23f) are arranged in separate positions, so that the inflow hole (23e) and the supply hole (23f) are disposed in a separate position from each other, so that the inflow hole (23e) and the supply hole (23f) are disposed in a diagonal position. By allowing the air 28 to flow the longest distance, the air 28 can flow inside the spice container 23 for a long time, the air 28 is exposed to the flavor 27 for a long time, and the contact time This increases, and a large amount of fragrance 27 can be contained in the air 28 during the period before reaching the supply hole 23f.

In addition, two supply holes (23f) are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the spice container (23), the diameters of these two supply holes (23f) are different, and by changing the supply holes (23f), different supply holes (23f) are provided. By aligning 23f) with the suction hole 22d of the straw 22a, the amount of flavor 27 mixed into the water 26 is changed, for example, by rotating the flavor container 23, The mixing switch of the fragrance 27 can be switched, and when open, the mixing amount of the two stages can be adjusted as the mixing amount of the fragrance 27 is different. Additionally, the size of the two supply holes 23f may be the same. There may be one supply hole 23f, or there may be three or more.

When the spice container 23 is rotated and the protruding portion 23i is fitted into the concave portion 24a, the inlet hole 23e is located at the upper part of the concave portion 24c, so that the air 28 flows through the inlet hole (23i). 23e), the recessed portion 24c is two symmetrical grooves on the ceiling surface of the mounting portion 24 and is larger than the inflow hole 23e, and the recessed portion 24c has a mounting portion. A groove facing radially outward of (24) is provided, and air enters the recessed portion 24c through the groove and then enters the interior of the spice container 23 through the inlet hole 23e, and the air enters the flavor container 23 ( Two supply holes (23f) are provided on the inside of 23), and two recessed portions (24c) are also provided to match the supply holes (23f). By rotating the spice container (23), the two supply holes are Even when any one of (23f) is aligned with the suction hole (22d), the air (28) can enter, and the flavor container (23) is made of resin or plastic, but is not limited to this. It may also be made of metal or alloy.

When the user inhales the water 26 from the inlet port 22b, if the neck portion 21a is clogged, the inside of the container body 21 becomes negative pressure, and the user cannot inhale the water 26, so the air hole (24b) is installed at the uppermost part of the mounting portion 24 and supplies air 28 to the inside of the container body 21. By supplying the air 28 from the air hole 24b, the user can use the water 26 ) can be drunk.

Through this embodiment, a favorite flavor can be mixed into a beverage with a simple configuration, the user can enjoy water of various flavors, feel the feeling of actually drinking a beverage of that flavor, and also allow the user to drink the water. Therefore, users can enjoy a variety of drinks without worrying about the disease they are suffering from, and can even alleviate their condition by drinking only water.

Example 3:

As shown in Figure 6, comparing the beverage container of this embodiment and Example 2, the internal structure of the flavor container is different, and other structures and operations are the same as those of Example 2, so the same structure and operation They are indicated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

The spice container 33 has a middle partition 33a, and the middle partition 33a is installed between the top cover 23c and the bottom surface 23d of the spice container 33, and the inside of the spice container 33 is divided up and down into a first layer 33c and a second layer 33d, and the air 28 flowing in from the inlet hole 23e is divided into two directions in the first layer 33c and flows in half a circle. Next, through the through hole 33b provided in the intermediate partition 33a, it reaches the upper layer, that is, the second layer 33d, and after reaching the second layer 33d, like the first layer 33c, air ( 28) is divided into two directions, flows half a turn, and is then supplied to the straw 22a from the supply hole 23f installed inside the spice container 33, and is also supplied to the straw 22a through the through hole 33b installed in the middle partition 33a. The quantity may be plural, and a multi-layered spice container 33 may be formed by installing a plurality of intermediate partition walls 33a disposed inside the spice container 33.

Through this embodiment, the air flows further in the spice container, so even if the perfume container has a simple structure, more perfume can be supplied to the water.

Example 4:

As shown in Figure 7, the embodiment of the present invention provides a beverage container and a flavor container, and when comparing the beverage container of this embodiment with Examples 2 and 3, the internal structure of the flavor container is Since the different and other structures and operations are the same as those of Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 3, the same structures and operations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

Likewise, the inner flange (43c) is also installed on the inner peripheral surface (43d) of the spice container body (23b). ) extends a predetermined length from the inner peripheral surface 43e and is installed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction.

Since the length of the outer flange (43b) should not exceed the inner peripheral surface (43d), and the length of the inner flange (43c) should not exceed the inner outer peripheral surface (43e), air 28 is Prevents blockage of flowing passages.

The air 28 flowing inside the spice container 43 flows avoiding the outer flange 43b and the inner flange 43c, so the flowing distance is longer compared to the situation without the outer flange 43b and the inner flange 43c. In other words, the flow path through which the air 28 flows is curved, so the flowing distance becomes longer. In this way, the air 28 must flow a long distance, and the fragrance 27 and the perfume 27 that permeate the sponge 43a during the flow process. The contact time is longer, and more fragrance (27) can be supplied to the water (26).

Through this embodiment, even if it is a simple-structured perfume container, the contact time between the air and the perfume can be extended, and thus more perfume can be supplied to the water.
