Definitions

• Holder made of elastic material, especially plastic, for holding a filter bag for the preparation of beverages such as tea and coffee
• the invention relates to a holder made of elastic material, in particular plastic, for holding a filter bag for the preparation of beverages such as tea and coffee, the filter bag with the tea leaves or the ground coffee being immersed in the hot water of the beverage container.
• This holder has a tubular connecting piece which tapers towards the lower end for holding a filter bag with a slit or the like provided in the connecting piece running in the axial direction for the purpose of reducing the circumference of the connecting piece against spring force.
• this known holder has projections arranged at the upper end of the connector for the purpose of placing the holder on the opening edge of a beverage container.
• a circumferential extension provided at the upper end of the nozzle serves as a limitation when a filter bag is pushed onto the nozzle of this holder.
• ter handle for its use, namely a handle and a so-called grip cam, with the aid of which the socket can be reduced in size for the purpose of being introduced into a filter bag or compressed to a certain extent.
• DE-OS 20 17 606 also shows a one-piece holder for holding a filter bag for tea or coffee, which has a neck which tapers towards the lower end. Also in the case of this holder, the neck is slotted in the axial direction, the neck, as in the case of the holder according to DE-GM 77 18 546, also being able to be reduced or compressed in its circumference against spring force.
• the present invention has for its object to provide a holder that is generally easy and safe to handle and in particular the attachment of a
• the neck of the holder according to the invention can easily be inserted into a filter bag made as a flat bag. For this it is only necessary, by operating the handles provided, to reduce the diameter or circumference of the nozzle by compressing the handles, after which the wedge-like or cutting-like end region of the nozzle can be pushed between the superimposed parts of a filter bag, gradually widening the Mouth area of the filter bag.
• the narrow flow cross-section formed by the wedge-like or cutting-like end region of the nozzle also causes a certain regulation of the water flow when the water is poured into the nozzle. This helps to ensure that a filter bag can no longer be torn from the holder due to excessive water supply.
• An advantageous development of the holder according to the invention is characterized according to claim 2, that the nozzle ends at the upper end in a hollow flange.
• a secure limitation is initially formed when a filter bag is pushed onto the nozzle or the nozzle is inserted into a filter bag and, moreover, also a good possibility of being placed on the opening edge of beverage containers with different diameters of the opening.
• a preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the connector has a second slot diametrically opposite the first slot provided in the connector, which extends from the lower end of the connector to approximately the flange, so that connector parts are formed, and that parts of the flange serve as a resilient connecting piece for the two connecting piece parts. This makes it easy to adjust the spring force of the holder, in particular, made in one piece from plastic, in the area of the connecting piece, if necessary
• the resilient connector is also an extension for the purpose of placing the holder on the opening edge of a beverage container.
• the connecting piece together with the region of the handle adjacent to the socket, can also serve as a support for the holder on the beverage container beyond the flange.
• a preferred embodiment of the invention is specified in claim 5.
• the flange of the slot runs into a handle on the one hand and the slot into a pressure piece running in the direction of the handle on the other hand, which pressure piece delimits a recess provided in the area of the pressure piece in the handle in such a way that the side of the pressure piece facing away from the handle with the The adjacent longitudinal side of the handle adjoining the recess lies approximately in a plane and the side of the pressure piece facing the handle is at a distance of the order of the width of the slot from the opposite side part of the handle.
• This embodiment is characterized by particular handiness and safety in use.
• the thumb of the hand encompassing the handle of the holder must not be spread far from the hand.
• the pressure piece is also arranged so that it cannot be actuated accidentally or unintentionally.
• the neck or the neck parts are provided with one or more barb-like pins for piercing the filter bag in the mouth area.
• the flange is designed as a self-contained ring and that diametrically opposed thrust pieces are provided for use on the flange.
• the socket when it is inserted into a filter bag, the socket will change its respective cross-section unevenly when the pressure pieces provided are operated accordingly, increasingly from the upper end to the lower end of the socket.

• Fig. 4 shows another possible embodiment of a holder.
• the holder 1 for holding a filter bag 2, in particular a filter bag made as a flat bag.
• the holder 1 consists essentially of a socket 3 with a slot 4 and a handle 7 located on the one hand of the slot 4 and a pressure piece 16 on the other side of the slot 4.
• a slot 23 diametrically opposite the slot 4 provided in the nozzle 3 so that the nozzle 3 is divided into nozzle parts 14 and 15.
• the connecting piece parts 14 and 15 are connected to one another via a resilient connecting piece 13.
• Areas of the handle 7, the pressure piece 16 and the connecting piece 13 form supports 5 and 6 for placing the holder on the opening edge of a beverage container.
• the nozzle 3 ends in a hollow flange 11. Parts of the flange 11 designated with 12 serve as a resilient connecting piece 13. Furthermore, the flange 11 runs out on the side of the connecting piece 3 opposite the connecting piece 13 into the handle 7 or into the pressure piece 16.
• the nozzle 3 is etv / a cylindrical or slightly conical.
• opposite surfaces 8 and 9 are provided on the one or on the other side of the slot 4.
• the surfaces 8 and 9 are inclined in relation to the longitudinal axis of the nozzle 3 in such a way that a wedge-like or cutting-like end region 10 of the nozzle 3 facilitating the insertion of the nozzle 3 into a filter bag 2 is formed.
• the hollow ring-shaped flange 11 offers a safe limitation when a filter bag 2 is pushed onto the nozzle 3 of the holder 1.
• the pressure piece Iß of the holder 1 is located in the space of a recess 17 provided in the handle 7.
• the side 18 of the pressure piece 16 facing away from the handle 7 lies approximately flush with the adjacent longitudinal side of the handle 7 adjoining the recess 17
• the plane and the side 19 of the pressure piece 16 facing the handle 7 are at a distance from the opposite side part 24 of the handle 7 in the order of magnitude of the width of the slot 4 or slots 4 and 23 provided in the socket 3
• Barb-like pins are provided on the nozzle 3 or the nozzle parts 14 and 15 for piercing the filter bag 2 in the mouth area.
• Fig. 4 shows a holder 25, which is also suitable for holding a filter bag 2.
• the holder 25 consists of a socket 26 with slots 27 and 28.
• the cylindrical or slightly conical socket 26 has at its lower end, like the holder 1 according to FIGS. 1 to 3, designated 29 and 30, opposite surfaces, which form a wedge-like or cutting-like end region 31.
• the nozzle 26 runs into a flange 32, the has the shape of a self-contained ring.
• pressure pieces 33 and 34 are integrally formed on the approximately hollow annular flange.
• the slots 27 and 28 continue in the downward-facing edge 35 of the flange 32.
• Regions 36 and 37 thus remain on the flange 32, which act as resilient connecting pieces for the connecting piece parts 38 and 39 formed by the slots 27 and 28. - By pressing the pressure pieces 33 and 34 against each other, the already narrow opening cross-section in the lower region of the nozzle 3 can be reduced even further so that the nozzle 26 of the holder 25 can be easily inserted into a filter bag made as a Flac bag.
