SK7047Y1 - The kettle for hot and also chilled drinks - Google Patents

Abstract

The kettle for making hot and cold drinks comprises a container (6) with a circular lid (2), wherein the through hole (2.1) is situated the extraction section (5) and / or the cooling element (3).

Description

Technical field

The technical solution relates to a kettle for preparing, transporting, storing and serving hot and cold beverages, for example tea, both hot and cold, as well as hot water beverages and also for cooling and maintaining cold beverages.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Known kettles for preparing, storing, transporting or serving hot or cold beverages consist of a glass, metal, ceramic, plastic or porcelain container equipped with a handle, a spout and a lid. Kettles are used for the direct heat preparation of hot drinks, which are made of stainless steel or boiling glass, which make it possible to boil water directly on an electric or gas cooker without having to pour water. Kettles are also known which use an electric heating element for heating the medium, for example known from CZ utility model no. No. 23686, CZ patents no. 224827, no. 231940 and the like. These kettles are either single-shell or multi-shell flat-bottomed.

However, all known kettles have one common disadvantage that the prepared beverage is cooled either by placing the entire kettle in the refrigerator or by placing a plurality of ice cubes in the beverage, but the beverage itself is diluted with water.

The essence of the technical solution

The aforementioned disadvantages of the known pots for preparing hot or cold drinks are largely eliminated by the pot according to the invention, consisting of a container on the neck of which a circular cap is provided. The essence of the invention is that the lid is provided with an internal passage opening through which the infusion portion and / or the cooling portion is introduced into the container, the infusion portion in the portion introduced into the container comprises tea infusion openings and the cooling portion is in the portion introduced into the container. a container formed as a solid cylinder with an opening extending above the lid. To prepare chilled drinks, the cooling portion is introduced into the leaching portion. In order to keep the leaching part or the cooling part through the lid into the container stable, there is a wall with a thickness of about 1.5 cm in the inner through hole of the lid. In order to hold the lid in the neck of the container, an outer circular wall is formed below the outer shoulder of the lid, terminated by resilient stops that rest against the peripheral wall of the container. In order to fit the cooling part into the leaching part, four protrusions are formed between the end of the cylinder and below the shoulder of the cooling part, which fit into the grooves formed on the leaching part.

The advantage of the technical solution is that both hot beverage and chilled beverage can be prepared in one pot. To prepare a chilled beverage, the cooling portion is first filled with water, then frozen in the freezer and placed in the beverage. This effectively cools the beverage and does not dilute the prepared beverage, for example, with ice cubes.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The technical solution is explained in more detail in the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 shows an exploded arrangement of the individual parts of the kettle; figure 2 shows an exploded arrangement of the cooling and leaching part of the kettle; figure 3 shows the assembled kettle;

Figure 4 shows the seating of the cooling part itself in the kettle; Figure 5 shows the location of the leaching part itself in the kettle.

EXAMPLES

The pot 10 for preparing hot or cold drinks according to Figures 1 to 5 consists of a conical container 6 made for example of boiling glass. The conical vessel 6 terminates in a neck 6.1 on which the outlet part 6.2 is formed. A circular plastic cap 2 is disposed on the neck 6.1, the outer shoulder 2.3 of which extends somewhat beyond the outer diameter of the neck 6.1 of the container 6. An inner through hole 2.1 is formed in the cap 2, the wall 2.2 facing the container 6 has a length of about 1.5 cm. Under the outer shoulder 2.3 of the lid 2 an inner annular wall 2.4 is formed, terminated by resilient stops 2.5 which abut against the circumferential wall of the container 6 and thereby hold the lid 2 on the neck 6.1 of the container 6. The inner circular wall 2.4 of the lid 2

SK 7047 Υ1 is smaller in diameter than the diameter of the neck 6.1 of the container 6. Between the through hole 2.1 and the outer shoulder 2.3, two circular grooves 2/7 are formed on the wall 2.6 of the cap 2, into which the stops 1.1 of the cap 1 are inserted. when the kettle 10 is assembled as a whole, as shown in Figure 3.

A leaching portion 5, which is made of a durable plastic, is inserted into the inner passage opening 2.1 of the cap 2. The leaching part 5 consists of a slightly conical part 5.1 extending towards the outer shoulder 5.3, by which this leaching part 5 is placed on the wall 2.6 of the lid 2. On the slightly conical part 5.1, rectangular apertures 5.2 are formed in two thirds of its length. extracting, for example, a leaf tea mixture. Four grooves 5.4 are formed on the outer shoulder 5.3 of the leaching part 5.

A cooling part 3, which is also made of durable plastic, is inserted into the opening 5.5 of the leaching part 5. This cooling part 3 is designed as a slightly conical cylinder 3.1 with a full wall. This cylinder 3.1 is terminated on the side protruding from the container 6 by an opening 3.4 with a shoulder 3.2. Four protrusions 3.3 are formed between the end of the cylinder 3.1 and below the shoulder 3.2. which fit into the grooves 5.4 formed on the leaching part 5, thereby connecting the leaching part 5 and the cooling part 3 together. Water is poured into the cylinder 3.1 of the cooling part 3 and subsequently frozen or ice pieces placed thereon, suitable for making chilled drinks .

The opening 3.4 of the cooling part 3 is closed by a plastic plug 4 made of resistant plastic. The plastic plug 4 in section 4.1 comprises a flexible seal 4.2 preventing water from escaping from the cylinder 3.1 of the cooling section 3 when frozen in the freezer.

The kettle 10 is covered by a plastic closure 7, the stops of which are inserted into the grooves 2.7 as mentioned above.

All parts of the kettle are easy to clean and resistant to temperatures up to 100 ° C. However, when heating hot water on a cooker, for example for making tea, it is necessary to remove the plastic parts from the kettle and only heat the water in a container made of boiling glass.

Example 1 - Preparation of tea and hot drinks

Pour the necessary amount of the selected type of tea, mint, herbs, ginger, fruit and the like into the infusion portion 5. The necessary amount of water is poured into the container 6 and the infusion part 5 is inserted through the lid 2 into the container 6. Subsequently, the closure 1 is put on and the tea is infused.

Example 2 - Preparation of ice tea

Tea is prepared as described above. After the infusion of the tea mixture, the infusion part 5 is removed from the container 6, the tea is allowed to cool to room temperature, then the cooling of the tea is accelerated by inserting a cooling part 3 into the lid 2 into which cylinder 3.1 was previously poured and frozen; ice pieces are placed in cylinder 3.1.

When storing the kettle, the individual parts are housed in the container 6 as shown in Figures 1 and 3.
