Brewing container with elastic assembly ring

The invention relates to a brewing container with an elastic assembly ring, in particular to be able to seal a gap between a container body and a base by using an elastic assembly ring to improve design flexibility, storage management and ensure watertight brewing. container.

In recent years, due to the advancement of process technology and the improvement of the quality of life, when purchasing a new product, in addition to paying attention to whether the product is inexpensive, it will be more convenient, easy to use and even safe. Taking into account, this change in market trends has also made it necessary for industry and industry players to continuously develop newer and more progressive products to meet the needs of most customers. For example, in the beverage containers that can be seen everywhere in daily life, in the past, when you want to drink the tea or coffee that is brewed, the user must brew the tea or coffee powder through the tea bag or the filter. Filter out for easy drinking. However, after brewing the beverage in this way, the user must immediately discard the tea bag, or first place the tea bag, filter, etc. in a container, otherwise, the moisture remaining in the tea bag and the filter net It will soak the surrounding environment and cause inconvenience to the user.

In view of this, the inventors have developed a brewing container for the user to conveniently carry and quickly brew tea or coffee, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the top side of the brewing container 1 An accommodating space 10 is defined in the recess, and a through hole 13 and a plurality of assembling holes 18 are defined in the bottom side; a water stopping tray 2 is assembled to the bottom side of the brewing container 1, and a plurality of protruding rods 21 are disposed on the periphery thereof. Each of the protruding rods 21 can be respectively inserted into each of the assembly holes 18, and can be reciprocally moved up and down in the assembly hole 18. The center of the water stop plate 2 is further provided with a column 23, and the column body 23 can be extended. The through hole 13 is inserted into the through hole 13 and a water stop block 25 is assembled at the top end thereof.

When the brewing container 1 is placed on the table top, and the water stopping tray 2 is naturally dropped, each of the protruding rods 21 abuts against the lower edge of each of the assembling holes 18, and at the same time, the water stopping block body 25 can The through hole 13 is completely shielded (as in the state of FIG. 1), so that the liquid in the accommodating space 10 cannot flow out from the through hole 13; and when the brewing container 1 is placed on a cup, The water stop plate 2 will be pushed by the cup, so that the protrusions 21 will abut against the upper edge of each of the assembly holes 18, and at this time, the water stop block 25 will leave the position of the through hole 13 . The liquid in the accommodating space 10 is caused to flow out from the through hole 13. In this way, the user can conveniently store the tea bag or the coffee powder through the brewing container 1, without worrying about the outflow of the liquid remaining in the brewing container 1.

Although the aforementioned brewing container 1 can effectively be used for the user to place tea bags or coffee powder, in recent years, with the plasticizer incident and the news of various food safety storms flooding the media layout, the safety of consumers for food safety has been increased. The more attention is paid to it, and for brewing containers made of plastic or acrylic materials, there are many consumers who have low heat resistance. Although the brewing container 1 can also be made of glass, To design the brewing container 1 into a variety of different styles of design, not only will the processing cost of the glass be increased, but the yield will also be affected. Therefore, the inventor is thinking about whether the brewing container 1 can be designed. Into a "two-piece" structure? That is, the main part of the brewing container 1 carrying the beverage is made of glass, and the parts of the handle and the base are still made of plastic material, so as to facilitate the design. In this way, not only can consumers effectively solve the doubts of consumers, but also take into account the production costs, in addition, the industry can still use the same style of container body (whether the material is glass), with different styles of base, to match a variety of different looks and textures Brewing container.

However, after the actual test by the inventors, it was found that since the container made of glass is difficult to control its tolerance, if the brewing container is designed in a two-piece type, the brewing container can easily cause the beverage to ooze out due to the seam on the assembly. Completely destroys the basic functional requirements of the brewing container; even if the assembly precision is improved, the "two-piece" brewing container can be tightly bonded together, but the hot expansion and contraction characteristics of the glass are obvious, resulting in rapid injection of the hot beverage. The joint of the brewing container is broken due to the thermal expansion property. Therefore, how to design a new brewing container structure can not only be assembled into a brewing container in a "two-piece" structure, but also ensure the stability and ease of use of the assembly, so as to prevent the beverage from oozing out of the assembly gap. That is, the important problem that the present invention is intended to solve here.

In view of the fact that the brewing container is designed in a "two-piece" assembly manner, it is impossible to accurately assemble, causing the problem that the beverage is easily oozing out of the gap. The inventor has undergone many tests, after many years of practical experience. After the improvement, finally designed one of the inventions The flexible packaging ring brewing container can provide a product structure that is easier to produce, assemble and more effective, so that users can brew all kinds of drinks with more peace of mind.
