Such an action can be expected not only for rare minerals such as so-called gems containing various metals, but also visually preferable by carrying valuables such as gems. A complementary effect that enhances value can be expected.

Hereinafter, the container accessory and the beverage container set according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Example 1
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration of a beverage container of the present invention. It is composed of a container accessory 1 having a function of dispersing ornaments, jewels such as tourmaline and precious metals such as gold leaf in a beverage, and a beverage storage container 8 for storing the beverage. As shown in FIG. 1, it is also possible to attach the container cap 16 to the container accessory 1 so that the beverage does not spill from the container.

FIG. 2 shows a detailed configuration of the container accessory 1. In order to hold the dispersion 4 in the tubular structure 5, the outlet side is sandwiched by the outlet side covering 2 and the inlet side is sandwiched by the inlet side covering 3. Further, the tubular structure 5 is internally threaded so as to be fixed to the beverage storage container 8. Further, in order to attach the cap, a screw portion is also provided on the outer peripheral portion. However, it does not have to be a screw for fixing the cap. The tubular structure is a material used for containers such as metal and plastics such as pets. Since the dispersion 4 requires a luxurious appearance when dropped into a beverage, it is composed of, for example, tourmaline (mineral) having many color variations, glittering gemstones, colored glass, gold powder, and the like. It may be single or a combination of multiple types. However, it is necessary to select a material in which ingredients that are harmful to humans do not dissolve in the beverage. The outlet-side covering 2 has a network finer than the size of the dispersion here so that the dispersion 4 does not come out directly with the beverage, and the dispersion 4 does not flow out, but is a liquid beverage. Is flowing out. The material of the outlet side covering body 2 includes metal, resin, silicon rubber and the like. The inlet side covering 3 is configured to drop the dispersion 4 onto the beverage in the container. The material of the inlet side covering 3 is a film that is easily broken, or an elastic body that can reversibly shift between a closed state and an open state.

FIG. 3 shows a process of damaging the inlet side covering 3 when the container accessory 1 is attached to the beverage container 8 by screwing. The beverage storage container 8 for holding the beverage is provided with a beverage storage container side screwing portion 7a, and the container accessory 1 is provided with a container accessory side screwing portion 6. By screwing the container accessory 1, the beverage storage container 8 is provided. Connect with. In this case, the tip 7b of the container-side screwing portion 7a comes into contact with the inlet-side covering 3 provided in the container accessory 1, and the inlet-side covering 3 is destroyed, so that the dispersion 4 falls into the beverage. .. The dispersion 4 that has fallen into the beverage falls while reflecting light. Due to this light-reflecting effect, the luxury and cleanliness of the beverage will impress people. When the beverage storage container 8 is made of general glass, it is preferable that the tubular structure 5 of the container accessory 1 is made of a different material such as metal or plastic in order to prevent liquid leakage.

FIG. 4 shows an O-ring type screwed portion, in which the container accessory 1 is pushed into the beverage storage container 8 instead of being screwed. The O-ring 9 is attached to the container accessory 1. The screwed portion has high adhesion to glass, which is generally used as a material for bottles, and a resin or rubber having a certain amount of deformation, specifically, a silicone resin, butyl rubber, or the like is suitable. The container accessory 1 is provided with a container stopper 10. This stopper has the effect of controlling the pushing amount of the container accessory 1 so that the stopper is not pushed into the beverage storage container 8 more than necessary. Without the container stopper 10, there is a risk that the glass portions of the container accessory 1 and the beverage storage container 8 will come into contact with each other and one of them will be damaged, which is prevented.

FIG. 5 shows a mechanism for damaging the inlet side covering 3 of the container accessory device attached to the beverage storage container 8. The inlet-side covering destruction mechanism 11 is a thin metal foil, which moves along the inside of the container accessory 1 and comes into contact with the inlet-side covering 3 to destroy it. The inlet-side covering breaking mechanism 11 does not have to be metal, and other materials such as hard plastic may be used without any problem.

FIG. 6 shows a process of damaging the inlet side covering 3 when the container accessory 1 is attached to the beverage container 8 by pushing it. The O-ring 9 is attached to the container accessory 1. The O-ring 9 may be attached to either the container accessory 1 or the beverage storage container 8, but since the beverage storage container 8 is generally made of glass, it can be more easily manufactured by attaching it to the container accessory 1. In the case of O-ring, there is no need to screw it in, just push it in, so the mechanism is simple and cost reduction is possible even during mass production. However, the container accessory 1 is easier to come off than the screw-in type. Select either screw-in type or push-in type depending on the environment, situation, cost, etc. to be used.

This embodiment is a beverage container composed of at least two parts. In sales, the beverage storage container 8 has a function of storing beverages, and various beverages such as sake, wine, whiskey, and water are stored and has a lid so that the beverages do not leak. The container accessory 1 is packaged with, for example, a food film so as to keep the dispersion 4, specifically the precious metal and gems entering the beverage clean. The portion that holds the dispersion 4, the inlet side covering 3, is also kept clean by the food film packaging. The beverage storage container 8 and the tubular structure 5 are materials generally used for containers such as glass, porcelain, metal, plastic, and wood, and their versatility can be ensured by combining them. It is important that the combination of materials does not leak the beverage during connection. Since it is a beverage container in which the beverage storage container 8 filled with the beverage and the container accessory 1 for holding the dispersion 4 are combined, the dispersion 4 can be easily dropped into the beverage storage container 8 after the beverage is finished. , The container accessory 1 is separated, and the dispersion 4 can be easily collected.

Example 2
FIG. 7 shows a beverage storage container 8, a container accessory 1 inserted into a spout portion thereof, and a container cap 16. In this embodiment, the container accessory 1 is inserted and fixed to the spout of the beverage storage container 8, and the container cap 16 is combined therewith.

FIG. 8 shows an example of the configuration and shape of the container accessory 1. The outer diameter of the tubular body 5 matches the inner diameter of the spout of the beverage storage container 8, and is attached to the inside of the spout. A regulating member 18 of the container accessory 1 that comes into contact with the spout and regulates the movement into the beverage storage container 8 is provided. Further, the container accessory 1 is provided with an outlet side covering body 2 and an inlet side covering body 3. The outlet side covering 2 has a mesh shape finer than the size of the dispersion 4 in order to prevent the dispersion from popping out from the spout. Further, a push rod 19 is attached to the central portion. The push rod tip portion 20 has a sharp shape here, but the shape can be changed depending on the method of dropping the dispersion 4 into the beverage. The push rod 19 is provided with a push rod regulating member 21 so as not to enter the container more than necessary.

FIG. 9 shows an example of the dropping method, and shows a means for making a hole in the inlet side covering body 3 by forming the tip portion of the push rod 19 into a sharp shape. By pressing the container cap 16 against the spout of the beverage storage container 8, the pushing-down member 17 provided on the container cap 16 side pushes the push rod 19. The tip of the push rod 19 has a sharp shape, and the tip breaks the inlet side covering body 3, so that the dispersion 4 falls into the beverage. Here, the push rod 19 is pushed by the push-down member 17 provided on the container cap 16, but the mechanism is not limited to this, and the push rod 19 may be pushed with a finger, for example.

FIG. 10 is an example in which the inlet side covering 3 is configured by using an elastic body, for example, stainless steel for a spring. The inlet side covering 3 is viewed from the container side of the beverage container 8 to form a semicircular notch portion 12, and a part thereof is left as a connecting portion 13 to give the inlet side covering 3 elastic properties. I have it. In the above invention, since the inlet side covering 3 is destroyed, the container accessory 1 can be used only once, but in the present invention, it can be used repeatedly.

FIG. 11 shows the process of dropping the dispersion 4 into the beverage when the inlet-side covering 3 shown in FIG. 10 is used. The push-down member 17 provided on the container cap 16 side pushes the push rod 19. When the push rod 19 pushes the inlet side covering 3, only the notch portion 12 is deformed, and the dispersion 4 falls into the beverage through the hole. When the container cap 16 is returned to its original position after dropping, the cutout portion 12 of the inlet side covering 3 returns to its original position due to the elastic characteristics of the inlet side covering 3, and the opening of the inlet side covering 3 is returned to the original position. Close up. With this mechanism, the container accessory 1 can be used not only once but multiple times. However, the push rod 19 does not need to be pushed down by using the container cap 16, and may be pushed by, for example, a finger.

In FIG. 12, the shape of the tip portion 20 of the push rod is substantially the same as the inner shape of the tubular structure 5 of the container accessory 1, and when the push rod 19 is pushed, the inlet side covering 3 is passed through the dispersion 4. Press, resulting in destruction. In FIG. 12, the push-down member 17 provided on the container cap 16 side pushes the push rod 19 by pressing the container cap 16 against the spout of the beverage storage container 8. In this case, the flat portion of the push rod tip portion 20 is formed into a wire mesh that does not allow the dispersion 4 to pass through, as in the outlet side covering 2, but allows the beverage to pass through from the spout side of the dispersion 4. Prevent the outflow of. However, the push rod 19 does not need to be pushed down by using the container cap 16, and may be pushed by, for example, a finger.

FIG. 13 is an example in which the inlet side covering body 3 of the container accessory 1 is configured by using an elastic body, for example, rubber. It is composed of a linear warp 14 provided toward the center and a weft 15 in which the linear warp threads are connected in a circular shape. In the initial state, the warp threads 14 and the weft threads 15 are combined so as to have a gap smaller than that of the dispersion 4. The weft thread 15 is an elastic body having a large elastic region like rubber. The warp thread 14 is preferably elastic, but can be configured without having elasticity. If the elasticity is small, the circular portion at the center becomes large, and the dispersion 4 falls from here.

FIG. 14 shows a process in which the dispersion 4 drops from the container accessory 1 using the inlet side covering 3 shown in FIG. Similar to FIG. 12, when the dispersion 4 is arranged on the inlet side covering 3 and the dispersion 4 is pushed by the push rod 19, the entrance side covering 3 which is an elastic body extends downward. By stretching, the gap formed by the warp 14 and the weft 15 expands, and when the gap becomes larger than the outer shape of the dispersion 4, the dispersion 4 falls from this gap. After all the drops, if the push rod 19 is returned to the original position or removed, the inlet side covering 3 also returns to the initial state and the gap becomes smaller than the dispersion 4, so that the dispersion 4 once dropped in the beverage Does not come out of the spout. In this case, the inlet side covering 3 has a function of preventing the dispersion 4 from popping out from the spout. Therefore, if the outlet side covering 2 prevents the dispersion 4 from popping out in the initial state, the dispersion 4 May be removed after dropping into the beverage. The method of pushing the push rod 19 may be either using the container cap 16 or using a finger. After the dispersion 4 has fallen, the push rod 19 may be pulled out without any problem.

In FIG. 15, the dispersion 4 is dropped into a beverage by using a push rod 19 having a basket-shaped push rod tip 20 on the container accessory 1. In the state before the push rod 19 is pushed, the push rod tip 20 is in the shape of a basket, and the outer frame thereof contacts the tubular structure 5 of the container accessory 1 to close the gap and hold the dispersion 4. To do. When the push-down member 17 provided on the container cap 16 side pushes the push rod 19, the basket-shaped portion moves to create a gap between the basket-shaped portion and the tubular body 5, and the dispersion 4 falls from this gap. .. Like the outlet side covering body 2, the cage-shaped portion needs to have a wire mesh shape that allows the dispersion 4 to pass through but allows the liquid to pass through. In this case, the outlet-side covering 2 may have a function of not allowing the dispersion to pass through before the dispersion 4 is dropped, and may be removed at the time of use after the fall. In the figure, an elastic rubber 22 is attached in order to automatically return the tip portion 20 of the push rod to the original position. The elastic rubber 22 may be attached to the outlet side covering body, or a structure for fixing the push rod 19 may be separately provided.

In the case of the present invention, the beverage storage container 8 and the container accessory 1 can be combined in advance and the container cap 16 can be set and sold, but the beverage storage container 8 and the container accessory 1 can also be sold separately. is there. For example, as the beverage storage container 8, a general beverage that is already on the market may be purchased, and a container accessory 1 that matches the size of the spout may be purchased and combined.

Example 3
By separating the beverage storage container 8 for holding the beverage and the container accessory 1 for holding the dispersion 4, the combination of the beverage and the dispersion can be freely selected. FIG. 16 shows an example thereof, and shows a combination of a plurality of container accessories 1 and a beverage container 23 containing a plurality of different beverages. In the figure, for example, in sake, gold leaf is often combined, but if you change the material and combine tourmaline with multiple colors, you can appeal to foreigners. In the case of the same material, for example tourmaline, the color can be changed, so you can select by color according to your preference. Champagne is used for toasts at wedding receptions, but in Asia, including Japan, champagne may be combined with gold leaf and pearls.

With this configuration, customers will have the freedom to choose the combination of beverages and dispersions, and it is expected that the enjoyment will increase at banquets and the like.
