As shown in FIG. 3, the fixed body 20A has an opening 64 in the center. A plurality of communication paths 38 are formed on the second bottom cover 36. In the case of this figure, the communication paths 38 are arranged at specific intervals in the circumferential direction of the second bottom cover 36.

(Instructions) The procedure for putting the substance into the container with a lid 10A will be described. As an example, a case of applying milk powder as the first substance, water as the second substance and the third substance, and a heating agent as the fourth substance will be described. The heating agent is preferably packaged in a water-permeable bag. The heating agent includes, for example, powdered aluminum and powdered quicklime. The bag body can be formed by non-woven fabric, Japanese paper, synthetic paper, etc. of a specific weight per unit area soaked with water.

First, as shown in FIG. 4A, the top cover 30 of the cover body 16 is directed downward, and the second substance 27 is introduced into the second storage portion 28 from the second opening 27 that becomes upward. Next, the female thread 44 is screwed into the male thread 32 until the front end of the outer wall portion 24 contacts the second bottom cover 36, whereby the fixing body 20A is attached to the cover body 16 (FIG. 4B). Then, the first substance 68 is introduced into the first storage portion 26 from the upward first opening 25. Next, the front end of the inner wall portion 22 is fitted into the groove 19, whereby the first bottom cover 18 is attached to the cover body 16 (FIG. 4C). In the manner described above, the lid 12 containing the first substance 68 and the second substance 66 is obtained.

With the top cover 30 facing upward, the small-diameter male thread 58 is screwed into the small-diameter female thread 50, whereby the inner container 52 in which the third substance 70 is put in advance is attached to the cover 12 (FIG. 5). Next, the large-diameter male screw 62 is screwed into the large-diameter female screw 46, whereby the container 54 in which the fourth substance 72 is put in advance is attached to the lid 12. In the above manner, a container 10A with a lid that accommodates the first substance 68, the second substance 66, the third substance 70, and the fourth substance 72 in separate states is obtained (FIG. 6 ). In other words, a food and beverage packaged in a container in which the food and beverage (the first substance 68 and the third substance 70) are contained in the container with a lid 10A is obtained.

Next, the procedure for transferring the first substance 68 and the second substance 66 contained in the lid 12 into the container 14 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 7, the cover 16 is rotated in the opening direction. The cover 16 moves upward in the axial direction by rotation. When the edge of one side surface of the first bottom cover 18 contacts the contact portion 34, the first bottom cover 18 is detached from the front end of the inner wall portion 22 and falls into the inner container 52. The first substance 68 in the first accommodating portion 26 falls into the inner container 52 together with the first bottom cover 18. The first substance 68 that falls into the inner container 52, that is, milk powder, is mixed into the third substance 70, which is contained in the inner container 52, that is, water. When the first bottom cover 18 dropped into the inner container 52 shakes the container 10A with the cover, it functions as a stirring element to mix the first substance 68 and the third substance 70 more effectively.

Furthermore, during the period when the cylindrical sealing portion 48 is in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the inner wall portion 22, the second storage portion 28 and the first storage portion 26 are sealed, so the second substance 66 does not escape from the first storage portion 26 The inside flows into the inner container 52.

As the cover 16 moves upward in the axial direction, the front end of the outer wall portion 24 is separated from the second bottom cover 36, and a gap is formed between the front end and the surface of the second bottom cover 36. The second substance 66 in the second accommodating portion 28 flows out of the gap and flows into the space between the outer container 54 and the inner container 52 through the communication path 38 (arrow in FIG. 7). The second substance 66 flowing between the outer container 54 and the inner container 52 reaches the fourth substance 72 contained in the outer container 54. The water as the second substance 66 penetrates the bag body and comes into contact with the heating agent. The heating agent generates an exothermic reaction by adding water. By the exothermic reaction, the first mixture 68 which is the first substance 68 and the third substance 70 in the inner container 52 is heated, that is, the milk 71.

After the exothermic reaction is completed, the lid 16 is removed from the fixed body 20A (FIG. 8 ), and then the outer container 54 and the inner container 52 are removed from the fixed body 20A (FIG. 9 ). In the above manner, milk 71 heated to a specific temperature is obtained. On the inner container 52, another cover with a drinking mouth (such as an artificial nipple) can also be reinstalled in the opening.

(Function and effect) Since the lid 12 has the first storage portion 26 and the second storage portion 28, the first substance 68 and the second substance 66 can be stored separately. By rotating the lid body 16 in the opening direction, the lid 12 can cause the first bottom cover 18 to fall off from the inner wall portion 22, and release the seal between the outer wall portion 24 and the second bottom cover 36, so that the first substance 68 and the 2 The substance 66 is transferred into the container 14. That is, the user can transfer the first substance 68 and the second substance 66 into the container 14 by one operation of rotating the lid 16 in the opening direction. In the case of this embodiment, the first accommodating portion 26 is sealed by the first bottom cover 18, so that the first substance 68 can be transferred from the cover 12 to the inner container 52 without being exposed to the outside atmosphere.

In the case of this embodiment, by including the inner container 52 and the outer container 54, the first mixture 68 including the first substance 68 of the first container 26 and the third substance 70 within the inner container 52 and the second mixture including the second substance 70 can be obtained The second mixture of the second substance 66 of the container 28 and the fourth substance 72 in the outer container 54.

By applying a heating agent as the fourth substance 72, the second mixture in the inner container 52 can be heated. Therefore, the first substance 68, that is, milk powder, and the third substance 70, or water, can be mixed without being exposed to the outside atmosphere, and then heated to a specific temperature, so a hygienic and simple procedure can be created to heat to a specific temperature Temperature of milk 71.

(Variation) The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and can be appropriately changed within the scope of the gist of the present invention.

In the above embodiment, the case where the cover 16 is removed has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, by using a lid with a drinking opening as the top lid 30, the lid and the fixed body 20A can be used while being attached to the container 14. In this case, it is preferable to have a case covering the cover.

In the above embodiment, the case where the heating agent is used as the fourth substance 72 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, by appropriately selecting the second substance 66 and the fourth substance 72, a food (second mixture) obtained by mixing the second substance 66 and the fourth substance 72 can also be obtained, and further the first mixture and the first substance can be obtained. 2 Mixed food (the third mixture).

In the case of the above embodiment, the case where the first substance 68 is transferred into the inner container 52 is almost the same as the moment when the second substance 66 is transferred into the outer container 54, but the present invention is not Limited to this. For example, the second substance 66 may be transferred into the outer container 54 before the first substance 68. In this case, the distance between the first bottom cover 18 and the contact portion 34 becomes longer, whereby the time when the first substance 68 is transferred into the inner container 52 is transferred to the outer container 54 compared with the second substance 66 It's late inside.

In the case of the above embodiment, the case where the container 14 has the inner container 52 and the outer container 54 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the container 10B with a lid shown in FIG. 10 omits the inner container 52. That is, the container 10B with the lid is the outer container 54 only. The second inner tube portion is omitted in the fixed body 20B. In the container 10B with a lid, a first substance 68 and a second substance 66 are accommodated in the lid 12, and a third substance 70 is accommodated in the outer container 54. The cover 16 has a third sealing surface 74 at a position where the base end of the outer cylinder 40 contacts. The third sealing surface 74 is an annular surface parallel to the radial direction of the cover 16. The outer container 54 is sealed with the third sealing surface 74 and the second sealing surface 60.

By rotating the cover 16 in the opening direction, the first bottom cover 18 is detached from the front end of the inner wall portion 22 (FIG. 11 ). The first substance 68 in the first accommodating portion 26 falls into the outer container 54 together with the first bottom cover 18. At the same time, by moving the cover 16 upward in the axial direction, the second substance 66 in the second accommodating portion 28 flows out from the gap between the front end of the outer wall portion 24 and the surface of the second bottom cover 36 and flows in through the communication path 38 Inside the container (arrow in Figure 11). In this way, in the outer container 54, the food (the fourth mixture) obtained by mixing the first substance 68, the second substance 66, and the third substance 70 can be obtained.

In the case of the above embodiment, the case where the first sealing surface 56, the second sealing surface 60, and the third sealing surface 74 are annular surfaces parallel to the radial direction has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this, It may be an annular surface inclined with respect to the axial direction.
