Abstract

This beverage extractor (A) does not have a spout, and the topmost part of a bowl-shaped extraction container (a) is formed to warp back toward the outside, thus allowing tea to be poured from the entire circumference thereof. A lid (b) is fitted to a tapered part (a-1) of an inner wall of the extraction container, and the lid is prevented from coming out by providing a raised bulging part (a-2-2) bulging slightly in the center direction on an inner wall between a fitting part and an opening topmost part. Since there is no step on the inner surface, fine recesses/protrusions provided to the entire circumferential side surface of the lid serve as a flow path during tea discharge. When the lid is fitted to the inner side of the extraction container and the beverage extractor is to be used, a warped-back portion of the opening topmost part of the container is the handle for holding the container, and at the same time the palm contacts the lid and presses a knob (b-1), which facilitates usage with one hand. Since there is no step on the flow path, used tea leaves etc. can be easily discharged. This structure makes it possible to eliminate the spout, handle, and tea strainer from a conventional beverage extractor, and thus usage and cleaning after usage are simple, and not much storage space is taken.

Description

beverage extractor

The present invention relates to a beverage extractor.

A beverage extractor extracts ingredients contained in tea leaves, coffee powder, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "tea leaves, etc.") into a liquid such as water or hot water, and extracts the resulting beverage such as tea or coffee into a cup or the like. A tool for pouring into a container. With the recent prevalence of PET bottled beverages, fewer people use such beverage extractors and more people do not own them. However, although PET bottled beverages are useful for easily removing water, the amount of tea leaves used is small, and in terms of taking in the nutritional ingredients such as tea leaves and enjoying the original taste of tea leaves, it is difficult to use a beverage extractor. It is far inferior to beverages extracted with In addition, the use of PET bottles leads to the disposal of a large amount of plastic, which is an environmental problem. For this reason, it is desirable to overturn the current situation of avoiding the use of beverage extractors and encourage the use of beverage extractors.

For that reason, there is a demand for a beverage extractor that is easy to use and easy to extract, easy to dispose of tea leaves after use, and easy to clean tools.

　Conventionally, there have been various proposals for beverage extractors that are easy to discharge tea leaves, etc., and easy to clean. For example, in Patent Document 1 (JP 2018-198815), Patent Document 2 (JP 2014-039655), and Patent Document 3 (JP 2004-230101), the tea strainer is made detachable and easy to remove, and the tea strainer A beverage extractor is described which has a flat surface to facilitate cleaning.

In Patent Document 4 (JP 2017-6412) and Patent Document 5 (JP 2001-292883), a groove that serves as a tea strainer is provided in the main body of a beverage extractor for the purpose of eliminating the tea strainer and facilitating cleaning. Alternatively, a device with a small hole is described, and Patent Document 6 (JP 2015-208668) describes a beverage extractor lid with a hole that serves as a tea strainer for the same purpose. It is

In Patent Document 7 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2012-147946) and Patent Document 8 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2006-304978), the shelf portion (the portion where the lid is placed) provided on the main body of the beverage extractor protrudes toward the inside of the main body. It has been proposed to be gradual or absent to facilitate evacuation of tea leaves after use.

Patent Document 9 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2020-14564) discloses a flow path for allowing liquid to pass between the groove and the shelf on which the lid is placed by providing a groove on the entire periphery of the lid of a beverage extractor. is formed, and the lid is used to dam tea leaves and the like, eliminating the need for a tea strainer to facilitate disposal of tea leaves and maintenance of utensils.

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-198815 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-39655 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-230101 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2017-6412 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-292883 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-208668 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-147946 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-304978 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2020-14564

In the case of a mechanism that requires a tea strainer in addition to the main body and lid of the beverage extractor, even if the wire mesh of the tea strainer is flat as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, the trouble of removing tea leaves can be completely eliminated. cannot be ruled out.

As in

Patent Documents

4 and 5, in the case of a beverage extractor in which a plurality of grooves or small holes are provided in the vicinity of the spout of the main body so that this portion functions as a tea strainer, the tea leaves swelled by absorbing moisture. There is a problem that such as is accumulated in the vicinity of the spout, making it difficult to discharge the extracted beverage.

As in Patent Document 6, even when a hole is provided in a part of the lid to play the role of a tea strainer, tea leaves, etc. that have absorbed water and swelled up accumulate in the vicinity of the hole, and the extracted beverage is discharged. Hateful.

As in Patent Documents 7 and 8, when the shelf on which the lid is placed is designed to be easy to discharge at once by eliminating or reducing the inward protrusion of the shelf on which the lid is placed, tea leaves, etc. Although the tea strainer becomes easy to discharge, a separate tea strainer is required, and cleaning thereof is troublesome, and the inside of the spout is difficult to clean.

As in Patent Document 9, when a groove is formed around the entire periphery of the lid portion and the combination of the groove and the main body serves as a tea strainer, it is easy to discharge used tea leaves and the like. However, in order to secure a liquid flow path between the shelf on which the lid is placed and the groove formed on the outer periphery of the lid, the depth of the groove must be adjusted to the thickness of the shelf (inside the main body). (the size of the protrusion toward the side), or the outer peripheral edge of the lid must be formed downward. Therefore, the design of the outer circumference of the lid is limited, and the strength of the outer circumference of the lid is weakened, which causes problems in safety and durability.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and its object is to pour a beverage without using a tea strainer separate from the main body and lid, and to remove tea leaves after use. To provide a beverage extractor which is easy to remove and has a high degree of freedom in the shape of the lid.

The present invention, which has been made to solve the above problems,
A beverage extractor for extracting a beverage component from a material to be extracted into a liquid,
a cup-shaped main body comprising a bottom and a peripheral wall rising from the bottom and containing the material to be extracted and the liquid;
a lid removably fitted into a circular upper opening defined by the peripheral wall of the body;
has
three or more extending portions extending from the peripheral edge by 0.2 mm to 2 mm are provided on the peripheral edge of the lid, and are spaced apart from each other;
The peripheral wall has a tapered portion whose inner diameter gradually decreases downward,
The lid is inserted into the main body through the upper opening, and is supported by the main body by contacting the tips of the three or more extensions with the inner surface of the tapered portion.

According to the beverage extractor according to the present invention having the above configuration, when the lid is fitted into the upper opening of the main body, the tip of each of the three or more extending portions provided on the peripheral edge of the lid becomes the tapered portion. A lid is supported within the body by abutting the inner surface. Therefore, there is no need to provide a step (that is, a shelf) in the main body for placing the lid, and the extracted material (tea leaves, etc.) after use can be easily discharged. Further, when the lid is fitted into the upper opening, a minute gap is generated between the inner surface of the tapered portion and the area between the two extending portions adjacent to each other in the peripheral edge of the lid. It becomes a channel for passing liquid. Therefore, after the substance to be extracted and the liquid are accommodated in the main body and the beverage component is extracted, the beverage extractor is tilted with the upper opening of the main body covered, so that the liquid is extracted through the flow path. (i.e. beverage) can only flow out of the beverage extractor. As a result, it is possible to pour the beverage into a drinking container such as a cup while keeping the extracted substance after use within the main body, so there is no need to provide a tea strainer (strainer) as a separate component. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of removing tea leaves or the like caught in the mesh of the tea strainer. In addition, as described above, the beverage extractor according to the present invention does not need to provide a shelf on which the lid is placed on the inner surface of the main body, and the shelf does not impede the flow of the liquid passing through the channel. Therefore, the degree of freedom in the shape of the lid can be increased.

A beverage extractor according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a beverage extractor A according to this embodiment, showing a state in which the lid b is lifted upward.

Beverage extractor A is a device for extracting beverage components from solid matter to be extracted such as tea leaves or coffee powder (hereinafter referred to as "tea leaves, etc.") to produce beverages such as tea or coffee.

The beverage extractor A includes an extraction container a (corresponding to the "main body" in the present invention) and a lid b, both of which are circular in top view.

As shown in FIG. 2, the extraction container a has a bottom part a-4 and a peripheral wall a-5 standing up from the bottom part a-4, and contains tea leaves and a liquid such as hot water or water (hereinafter referred to as "hot water etc."). ) is formed into a container (cup-like) that can store. The extraction container a and lid b are made of, for example, ceramics or resin. As shown in FIG. 2, the peripheral wall a-5 of the extraction vessel a has a tapered portion a-1 and an opening defining portion a-2 positioned above the taper portion a-1 and defining a circular upper opening. Furthermore, below the bottom part a-4 of the extraction container a, a platform a-3 is provided so that the extraction container a can be stably placed on a desk.

The taper part a-1 is formed so that the inner diameter becomes smaller toward the bottom (that is, the bottom part a-4 side), and the lid b is attached to the inner wall slope of the upper part. Tea leaves or the like and hot water or the like are put into the space surrounded by the attached lid b and the inner wall of the extraction container a to extract a beverage such as tea. The tapered portion a-1 has a minimum inner diameter of the outer diameter of the lid b (i.e., an imaginary tip of each of the plurality of extending portions b-5 (described later) provided on the peripheral edge of the lid b. is smaller than the diameter of a virtual circle C (see FIG. 13), which is a circular circle, and the maximum value of the inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the lid b. As a result, when the lid b is attached to the extraction container a, the tips of the plurality of extensions b-5 and the inner surface of the tapered portion a-1 abut to support the lid b on the extraction container a. state.

As shown in FIG. 3, the opening regulating portion a-2 is composed of an uppermost curved portion a-2-1 which is curved outward and a curved portion a-2-1 which is positioned below the curved portion a-2-1 and is formed to be finely protruded inward. a raised portion a-2-2 (corresponding to the “inward bulging portion” in the present invention), and a fine recessed portion a-2-3 formed by the formation of the raised portion a-2-2. It has In addition, the curvature radius R-2 of the warped portion a-2-1 and the raised portion a-2-2 may be 5 mm to 10 mm, and the curvature radius R-3 of the recessed portion a-2-3 may be 3 mm to 6 mm. desirable. The outer diameter of the lid b (that is, the diameter of the imaginary circle C described above) is smaller than the inner diameter of the protuberance a-2-2, and the lid b passes through the protuberance a-2-2 and is wider than the opening regulating portion a-2. It is attached to the inside lower part of the extraction container a. Specifically, the outer diameter of the lid b is preferably about 1 mm to 3 mm (more preferably about 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm) smaller than the inner diameter of the protrusion a-2-2.

The warped portion a-2-1 serves as a spout when the beverage is discharged from the extraction container a as shown in FIG. Since this warped portion a-2-1 is formed along the entire periphery of the uppermost portion of the opening defining portion a-2, the entire periphery of the extraction vessel a serves as a spout. In addition, the raised portion a-2-2 is just below the curved portion a-2-1, specifically, about 10 mm to 20 mm (preferably 13 mm to 17 mm, more preferably about 15 mm) below the upper end of the extraction container a. It is preferable to provide As a result, when the extraction container a is tilted and the beverage is discharged, the flow path of the beverage is directed upward at the protuberance a-2-2, and then immediately led outward at the warped portion a-2-1. Therefore, the beverage can be easily discharged. Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the curved part a-2-1 stabilizes the support of the beverage extractor A by engaging the joint of the finger when the beverage extractor A is lifted with one hand. In order to facilitate the support with one hand, it is appropriate that the outer diameter of the upper end of the extraction container a is about 90 mm to 130 mm.

As shown in FIG. 6, the protuberant part a-2-2 at the lower part of the bent part a-2-1 has a difference a-2- 4 is formed to be 1 mm or more. As a result, the movement of the lid b attached below the lid b to the outside of the extraction container a is stopped by the recess a-2-3.

The lid b attached below the opening regulation part a-2 moves slightly along the inner wall of the tapered part a-1, but the inclination angle a-2-5 of the inner wall in the range of motion a-2-6 is If the angle is about 20° to the vertical, the range of motion a-2-6 will remain at about 10 mm. When the inclination angle of the range of motion a-2-6 is reduced to about 10°, the range of motion a-2-6 becomes large as shown in FIG. Further, when the inclination angle of the range of motion a-2-6 is increased to 30° or more, the range of motion a-2-7 indicating lateral movement as shown in FIG. 8 becomes large. Therefore, in the extraction vessel a, at a height where the inner diameter of the tapered portion a-1 is equal to the outer diameter of the lid b (the diameter of the imaginary circle C), the axis parallel to the central axis of the peripheral wall a-5 and the tapered portion a It is desirable that the angle formed by the inner surface of the peripheral wall a-5 at -1 (that is, the inclination angle a-2-5) is larger than 10° and smaller than 30°.

In the beverage extractor A according to this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the entire region of the peripheral wall a-5 below the opening defining portion a-2 may be a tapered portion a-1. As shown in FIG. 11, only part of the region may be tapered portion a-1. If the shape of the taper part a-1 keeps the inclination angle a-2-5 of the movable range a-2-6 of the lid b and decreases the inner diameter toward the bottom, the extraction vessel a The shape is as shown in FIG.

As long as the tilt angle a-2-5 is maintained for the range of motion a-2-6 of the lid b attached to the taper part a-1, the shape below the range of motion a-2-6 can be formed in any way. I don't mind. If it is formed in a bowl shape, it will become FIG. 10, and if it is formed in a cylinder shape, it will become FIG. By changing the shape of the container, the capacity can be increased or decreased.

Next, the lid b will be explained. As shown in FIG. 12, the lid b includes a knob portion b-1 (corresponding to the "knob" in the present invention), a dome portion b-2 which is the main body of the lid, and an outer peripheral side surface b-3 of the lid. have.

As shown in Fig. 14, the lid b is attached to the lower part of the inside of the extraction container a than the raised part a-2-2. FIG. 13 is a top view of the state.

As shown in FIG. 14, when the lid b is attached to the extraction container a, the top of the lid b (that is, the top of the knob b-1) is higher than the top of the extraction container a, and the lid b The height difference X between the top of the container a and the top of the extraction container a is about 15 to 35 mm. As a result, as shown in FIG. 15, when the beverage extractor A is lifted with one hand, the handle b-1 of the lid b is pressed with the palm, and the lid b is fixed.

　Fine irregularities are formed on the outer circumference side b-3 of the lid b. When the lid b is attached to the inside of the extraction container a, the convex portion (hereinafter referred to as the “extending portion b-5”) of the unevenness comes into contact with the inner surface of the tapered portion a-1 of the extraction container a. At that time, the gap formed between the concave part (hereinafter referred to as "dent b-4") of the unevenness and the inner surface of the tapered part a-1 serves as a discharge channel for the beverage in the extraction container a. Become. Since the inner wall of the extraction container a does not have a step (so-called shelf portion) for attaching the lid b, the step does not impede the flow of the beverage. Therefore, the extension amount of the extending portion b-5 from the peripheral edge of the lid b (that is, the distance from the center of the dome portion b-2 to the most recessed portion of the recess b-4 on the outer surface of the dome portion b-2) The difference Y between the length and the length from the center of the dome part b-2 to the tip of the extension part b-5 is about 0.2 mm to 2 mm, the beverage can be discharged from the brewing container a. It is possible.

Fig. 16 shows an example of the case where the unevenness of the outer peripheral side surface b-3 of the lid b is formed in a wavy shape.

Fig. 17 shows an example of fine grooves formed on the outer peripheral side surface b-3 of the lid b. In this case, the groove corresponds to the recess b-4 described above, and the region of the outer peripheral side surface b-3 where the groove is not formed corresponds to the extension b-5.

Fig. 18 shows an example of fine projections provided on the outer peripheral side surface b-3 of the lid b. In this case, the projection corresponds to the extension b-5 described above, and the area between two adjacent projections in the outer peripheral side surface b-3 corresponds to the recess b-4.

Beverage extractor A does not require a handle to support beverage extractor A, as shown in FIG. Also, since the lid b is held by the palm, there is no need to hold the lid b with the other hand when discharging the beverage.

As shown in Fig. 15, the beverage extractor A has a spout on the entire periphery, so even if the flow path for discharging the beverage is partially blocked by tea leaves, etc., there is an unblocked flow path around the entire periphery. It is possible to continue to discharge the beverage as it is. In addition, since the entire circumference serves as a spout, it is possible to avoid the part where tea leaves and the like are accumulated and to discharge the tea leaves from another channel. In addition, in the beverage extractor A according to the present embodiment, the lid body (dome portion b-2) is formed in a dome shape, so that when the beverage is poured out, more tea leaves, etc. can be dammed up.

As shown in Fig. 15, the beverage extractor A does not need to form a spout for discharging the beverage in the extraction container a, and does not require a handle to hold the beverage extractor A. Thus, since it is not necessary to form a difficult-to-clean portion, the extraction container a can be easily and completely cleaned.

As shown in FIG. 15, the beverage extractor A does not require a tea strainer (strainer). Tea leaves adhering to the side surface b-3 can be easily and completely washed off.

As shown in Fig. 9, the shape of the beverage extractor A is a container that does not have a handle or a spout, so it does not take up much space and is easy to store.

There are various sizes of tea leaves, etc., but the amount of extension of the extension b-5 of the lid b, the amount of recession of the recess b-4, or the extension b-5 adjacent to each other (or the recess b By preparing multiple lids with different intervals (e.g., 4 pairs), it is possible to easily change the straining method of the beverage simply by changing the lid b to be attached according to the tea leaves, etc. (i.e., various shapes and sizes) Extraction of the extractable material can be performed).

Depending on the shape of the platform a-3, it may not be necessary if it can be stably placed on the desk.

Although the beverage extractor according to the present invention has been described above with specific examples, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and modifications are permitted within the scope of the present invention. For example, as shown in FIG. 19, the beverage according to the present invention has an outward bulging portion a-6 bulging outward from the extraction container a below the taper portion a-1. good too. The inner diameter of the peripheral wall a-5 at the outward swelling portion a-6 is made larger than the inner diameter of the peripheral wall a-5 at the lower end of the tapered portion a-1. As a result, when the beverage extractor A is tilted, the tea leaves and the like that have sunk in the beverage in the extraction container a remain inside the outwardly bulging portion a-6, so that the tea leaves that reach the vicinity of the lid b. It is possible to prevent tea leaves from accumulating in the vicinity of the recessed portion b-4 of the lid b and obstructing the flow of the beverage.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, a large number of minute irregularities are formed on the entire outer periphery of the lid b. However, the present invention is not limited to this. An extension b-5) may be provided. Although FIG. 20 shows an example in which three minute protrusions are provided on the outer circumference of the lid b, minute grooves may be provided instead of such protrusions. Also, the number of projections or grooves is not limited to this, and may be three or more. It is preferable that adjacent protrusions (or grooves) are separated from each other by 1 cm or more (preferably 2 cm or more, more preferably 3 cm or more) in the circumferential direction of the lid b. As a result, the length of the flow path (dimension in the circumferential direction) for passing the beverage can be sufficiently secured, and the beverage can be efficiently discharged from the extraction container a.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the extraction container a and the lid b are made of ceramics or resin, but the material of the extraction container a and the lid b is not limited to this. Any material such as wood and metal may be used. However, when performing extraction with a high-temperature liquid such as boiling water, it is desirable that the extraction container a and the lid b be made of a material with low thermal conductivity such as resin.
