Description

香料保持具、飲料容器、飲料製品、および飲料製品の製造方法Flavor holder, beverage container, beverage product, and method for manufacturing beverage product
 本発明は、香料保持具、飲料容器、飲料製品、および飲料製品の製造方法、に関する。 The present invention relates to a flavoring holder, a beverage container, a beverage product, and a method for manufacturing a beverage product.
 飲料製品の商品価値を構成する要素として、味と香りは極めて重要である。このため、消費者が飲料の香りをより一層楽しめるようにする手段が種々提案されている。たとえば特開2006-168788号公報(特許文献1)には、容器の口部に香気成分を封入したマイクロカプセルを付着させてあり、これによって開封時にフレーバーを発する容器が開示されている。また、特開2022-62504号公報(特許文献2)には、飲み口と別に香り口を設けた缶蓋が開示されている。 Taste and aroma are extremely important elements that determine the commercial value of a beverage product. For this reason, various means have been proposed to allow consumers to further enjoy the aroma of beverages. For example, JP 2006-168788 A (Patent Document 1) discloses a container in which microcapsules containing aromatic components are attached to the mouth of the container, thereby releasing a flavor when the container is opened. In addition, JP 2022-62504 A (Patent Document 2) discloses a can lid that has a aroma port separate from the drinking port.
特開2006-168788号公報JP 2006-168788 A 特開2022-62504号公報JP 2022-62504 A
 しかし、特許文献1の技術では、マイクロカプセルを口部のネジ山に付着させており、容器および飲料製品の生産性が低下するおそれがあった。また、特許文献2の技術では、飲料自身に由来する香りを消費者に届けやすくなるものの、付加的な香りを提供することはできなかった。 However, in the technology of Patent Document 1, the microcapsules are attached to the threads of the opening, which may reduce the productivity of the container and beverage product. In addition, while the technology of Patent Document 2 makes it easier to deliver the aroma derived from the beverage itself to the consumer, it is not able to provide additional aromas.
 そこで、比較的簡便な方法で香料を設置する手段としての香料保持具、ならびに、当該手段を適用した飲料容器、飲料製品、および飲料製品の製造方法の実現が望まれる。 Therefore, it is desirable to develop a flavoring holder that can be used to install flavorings in a relatively simple manner, as well as a beverage container, a beverage product, and a method for manufacturing a beverage product that employs this device.
 本発明に係る香料保持具は、飲料容器の内側に設置可能な香料保持具であって、香料を含む香料シート、および、前記香料シートに接続する弾性部材、を備え、前記弾性部材が前記飲料容器の内側に加える付勢力によって、当該飲料容器の内側に固定されることを特徴とする。 The flavoring holder of the present invention is a flavoring holder that can be installed inside a beverage container, and is characterized in that it comprises a flavoring sheet containing a flavoring and an elastic member that connects to the flavoring sheet, and is fixed to the inside of the beverage container by a biasing force applied by the elastic member to the inside of the beverage container.
 本発明に係る飲料容器は、香料を含む香料シート、および、前記香料シートを支持する弾性部材、を有する香料保持具と、飲料を収容する飲料収容部と、を備え、前記香料保持具が、前記弾性部材が前記飲料収容部の内側に加える付勢力によって、当該飲料収容部の内側に固定されていることを特徴とする。 The beverage container according to the present invention comprises a flavoring holder having a flavoring sheet containing a flavoring and an elastic member supporting the flavoring sheet, and a beverage storage section for storing a beverage, and is characterized in that the flavoring holder is fixed to the inside of the beverage storage section by the biasing force applied by the elastic member to the inside of the beverage storage section.
 本発明に係る飲料製品は、上記飲料容器の前記飲料収容部に飲料が収容されていることを特徴とする。 The beverage product according to the present invention is characterized in that a beverage is contained in the beverage storage section of the beverage container.
 本発明に係る飲料製品の製造方法は、飲料容器の飲料収容部に飲料を収容する第一の工程と、前記飲料が収容されている前記飲料収容部の内側に、香料を含む香料シート、および、前記香料シートを支持する弾性部材、を有する香料保持具を、前記弾性部材が前記飲料収容部の内側に加える付勢力によって固定する第二の工程と、前記香料保持具が固定された前記飲料収容部に蓋を装着する第三の工程と、を備えることを特徴とする。 The manufacturing method of the beverage product according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a first step of storing a beverage in a beverage storage section of a beverage container, a second step of fixing a flavoring holder having a flavoring sheet containing a flavoring and an elastic member supporting the flavoring sheet to the inside of the beverage storage section in which the beverage is stored by a biasing force applied by the elastic member to the inside of the beverage storage section, and a third step of attaching a lid to the beverage storage section to which the flavoring holder is fixed.
 本発明では、香料を含む香料シートを弾性部材の付勢力によって固定する構成を採用することにより、飲料容器と別個にあらかじめ生産しておくことができ、かつ簡単に設置できる香料保持具を実現した。また、この香料保持具を用いることで、飲料容器および飲料製品に対して比較的簡便な方法で香料を設置することを実現した。 In the present invention, a fragrance sheet containing a fragrance is fixed by the biasing force of an elastic member, resulting in a fragrance holder that can be produced separately from the beverage container in advance and can be easily installed. Furthermore, by using this fragrance holder, it has been possible to install fragrance in the beverage container and beverage product in a relatively simple manner.
 以下、本発明の好適な態様について説明する。ただし、以下に記載する好適な態様例によって、本発明の範囲が限定されるわけではない。 The following describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments described below.
 本発明に係る香料保持具は、一態様として、前記弾性部材が、略C字型の板ばねを含むことが好ましい。 In one embodiment of the fragrance holder according to the present invention, the elastic member preferably includes a substantially C-shaped leaf spring.
 この構成によれば、飲料容器に挿入しやすく、かつ固定しやすい香料保持具を提供できる。 This configuration provides a flavoring holder that is easy to insert into and fix in a beverage container.
 本発明に係る香料保持具は、一態様として、前記香料シートが、高分子製フイルムシート、繊維シート、およびセラミックス製多孔質シート、からなる群から選択される基材を含み、前記香料が、前記基材に保持されていることが好ましい。 In one embodiment of the fragrance holder according to the present invention, the fragrance sheet preferably includes a substrate selected from the group consisting of a polymer film sheet, a fiber sheet, and a ceramic porous sheet, and the fragrance is preferably held by the substrate.
 この構成によれば、香料シートが香料を保持しやすいため、消費者に香りを届けやすくなる。 This configuration allows the fragrance sheet to easily retain fragrance, making it easier to deliver the scent to consumers.
 本発明に係る飲料容器は、一態様として、前記飲料収容部が缶であることが好ましい。 In one embodiment of the beverage container according to the present invention, the beverage storage portion is preferably a can.
 この構成によれば、容器自体への香料の吸着が難しい缶入り飲料に対して、香料を付加できる。 This configuration makes it possible to add flavoring to canned beverages, where it is difficult for flavoring to adhere to the container itself.
 本発明のさらなる特徴と利点は、図面を参照して記述する以下の例示的かつ非限定的な実施形態の説明によってより明確になるであろう。 Further features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of exemplary, non-limiting embodiments, which are given with reference to the drawings.

 本発明に係る香料保持具、飲料容器、飲料製品、および飲料製品の製造方法の実施形態について、図面を参照して説明する。以下では、本発明に係る飲料製品の一実施形態である飲料製品1を例として説明する。なお、飲料製品1において飲料を収容している飲料容器2は本発明に係る飲料容器の一実施形態であり、飲料容器2に固定されている香料保持具3は本発明に係る香料保持具の一実施形態である。 Embodiments of the flavoring holder, beverage container, beverage product, and beverage product manufacturing method according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following, a beverage product 1, which is one embodiment of the beverage product according to the present invention, will be described as an example. Note that the beverage container 2 that contains the beverage in the beverage product 1 is one embodiment of the beverage container according to the present invention, and the flavoring holder 3 fixed to the beverage container 2 is one embodiment of the flavoring holder according to the present invention.
〔飲料製品の構成〕
 飲料製品1は、飲料容器2に飲料Bが収容された状態で流通および販売に供される商品である(図1、図2)。本実施形態では、飲料製品1はいわゆる缶飲料製品である。なお、飲料Bは、清涼飲料水、アルコール飲料、乳飲料など、種類を問わない。
[Beverage product composition]
The beverage product 1 is a product that is distributed and sold in a state in which a beverage B is contained in a beverage container 2 (FIGS. 1 and 2). In this embodiment, the beverage product 1 is a so-called canned beverage product. The beverage B may be any type, such as a soft drink, an alcoholic beverage, or a dairy beverage.
(飲料容器の構成)
 飲料容器2は、香料を保持する香料保持具3と、飲料を収容する飲料収容部4と、を備える(図1、図2)。飲料収容部4はいわゆるステイオンタブ式の缶であり、飲料を収容する部分として機能する缶胴部41と、缶胴部41に巻き締められている缶蓋部42と、を有し、缶蓋部42にはステイオンタブ43が設けられている。缶蓋部42は、ステイオンタブ43が設けられている他は、後述する開口部45を含め概ね平坦である。
(Configuration of beverage container)
The beverage container 2 includes a flavor retainer 3 for retaining a flavor, and a beverage storage section 4 for storing a beverage (FIGS. 1 and 2). The beverage storage section 4 is a so-called stay-on-tab type can, and includes a can body 41 that functions as a portion for storing the beverage, and a can lid 42 that is wrapped around the can body 41, and the can lid 42 is provided with a stay-on tab 43. Apart from the stay-on tab 43, the can lid 42 is generally flat, including an opening 45 described below.
 ステイオンタブ43を起こすように引っ張り力Fを加えると、缶蓋部42のうちのスコア線44で囲まれた部分(以下、開口部45と称する。)がステイオンタブ43に押されて他の部分から切り離されて、開口46が形成される(図3)。以上が飲料容器2を開封する手順である。 When a pulling force F is applied to raise the stay-on tab 43, the portion of the can lid 42 surrounded by the score line 44 (hereafter referred to as the opening 45) is pushed by the stay-on tab 43 and separated from the other portions, forming an opening 46 (Figure 3). This completes the procedure for opening the beverage container 2.
 飲料収容部4を構成する材料は、缶容器を構成する金属材料として一般的に使用される材料でありうる。たとえば、アルミニウムおよびアルミニウム合金、鉄および鉄合金、などが例示されるが、これらに限定されない。なお、缶胴部41と缶蓋部42との材料が同一であってもよいし、異なっていてもよい。 The material constituting the beverage storage portion 4 may be a material that is commonly used as a metallic material for constituting a can container. Examples include, but are not limited to, aluminum and aluminum alloys, iron and iron alloys, etc. The materials of the can body portion 41 and the can lid portion 42 may be the same or different.
 飲料収容部4(缶胴部41)の満容量は、飲料用のステイオンタブ式缶容器として一般的に使用される容量であってよい。当該満容量は、たとえば100~1000mLでありうるが、これに限定されない。なお、飲料Bの充填量は、飲料収容部4(缶胴部41)の満容量より少なく、たとえば満容量の95%程度である。したがって、飲料収容部4には、飲料Bの液面より上側に空隙Sが存在する。 The full capacity of the beverage storage section 4 (can body 41) may be a capacity generally used for stay-on-tab type beverage can containers. The full capacity may be, for example, 100 to 1000 mL, but is not limited to this. The amount of beverage B filled is less than the full capacity of the beverage storage section 4 (can body 41), for example, about 95% of the full capacity. Therefore, in the beverage storage section 4, there is a gap S above the liquid level of beverage B.
(香料保持具の構成)
 香料保持具3は、香料を含む香料シート31と、香料シート31に接続する弾性部材32と、を有する(図4)。香料保持具3は、弾性部材32の弾性力によって、飲料収容部4(缶胴部41)の内側の空隙Sに固定されている(図1、図2)。
(Configuration of fragrance holder)
The flavor retainer 3 has a flavor sheet 31 containing a flavor and an elastic member 32 connected to the flavor sheet 31 (FIG. 4). The flavor retainer 3 is fixed to the space S inside the beverage storage section 4 (can body 41) by the elastic force of the elastic member 32 (FIGS. 1 and 2).
 香料保持具3は飲料収容部4の内側に固定されているので、飲料製品1の運搬中などに飲料Bと直接に触れる可能性がある。したがって香料保持具3は、飲料Bの性質(酸、アルコールなど)によって侵されるおそれが少なく、かつ、食品容器を構成する材料としての要件(法令や業界標準など)を満たす材料により構成されうる。 Since the flavoring retainer 3 is fixed to the inside of the beverage storage section 4, there is a possibility that it may come into direct contact with the beverage B during transportation of the beverage product 1. Therefore, the flavoring retainer 3 is unlikely to be damaged by the properties of the beverage B (acid, alcohol, etc.), and can be made of a material that meets the requirements (laws, regulations, industry standards, etc.) for materials that constitute food containers.
 香料シート31は、香料を含むシート状の部材であり、その材質は香料を保持する方法に応じて選択される。香料シート31は、たとえば、高分子製の基材に香料を吸着させたもの、繊維製の基材に香料を含浸させたもの、多孔質材料製の基材の細孔に香料を担持させたもの、などでありうる。 The fragrance sheet 31 is a sheet-like member containing fragrance, and its material is selected depending on the method for retaining the fragrance. The fragrance sheet 31 can be, for example, a polymeric substrate with the fragrance adsorbed thereon, a fibrous substrate with the fragrance impregnated therein, or a porous substrate with the fragrance supported in the pores.
 香料は、たとえば、飲料Bを飲もうとする消費者のユーザー体験を向上する観点で選択される。具体的には、レモン味のチューハイ飲料にレモン香を組み合わせるなど、飲料Bの風味と同種の香料を使用すれば、飲料製品1を開封して飲料Bを飲もうとする消費者が、飲料Bの香りをより一層楽しむことができる。 The flavoring is selected, for example, from the perspective of improving the user experience of consumers who are about to drink beverage B. Specifically, if a flavoring similar to the flavor of beverage B is used, such as combining a lemon scent with a lemon-flavored chuhai beverage, consumers who open beverage product 1 and are about to drink beverage B can enjoy the aroma of beverage B even more.
 本実施形態における弾性部材32は、略C字状の板ばねである(図4)。弾性部材32の直径Dは、弾性部材32が応力を受けていない状態において、缶胴部41の内径より大きい。弾性部材32に対して径を縮める方向に付勢力を加えた後に、缶胴部41に挿入してから付勢力を解除すると、弾性部材32は自身の弾性力によって形状を回復して、缶胴部41の内側に付勢力を加える状態になる。この付勢力によって、香料保持具3が飲料収容部4の内側に固定される。なお、弾性部材32の下面に傾斜部32aが設けられている。 In this embodiment, the elastic member 32 is a leaf spring with a substantially C-shape (Figure 4). The diameter D of the elastic member 32 is larger than the inner diameter of the can body 41 when the elastic member 32 is not under stress. When a biasing force is applied to the elastic member 32 in a direction to reduce its diameter, and then the elastic member 32 is inserted into the can body 41 and the biasing force is released, the elastic member 32 recovers its shape due to its own elasticity, and is in a state where it applies a biasing force to the inside of the can body 41. This biasing force fixes the flavor retainer 3 to the inside of the beverage storage section 4. An inclined portion 32a is provided on the underside of the elastic member 32.
 弾性部材32は、板ばねを構成する一般的な材料で構成されうる。かかる材料としては、たとえばSUS304などのステンレスが例示されるが、これらに限定されない。 The elastic member 32 can be made of a common material that is used to make leaf springs. Examples of such materials include, but are not limited to, stainless steel such as SUS304.
 香料シート31は、弾性部材32の略C字状の形状により画定される円(直径Dの円である。)より小さい。そのため香料保持具3が飲料収容部4に固定されても、缶胴部41の水平方向断面の全体を塞ぐことがない。これによって、香料保持具3は、飲料Bの取り出しを妨げない。すなわち、香料保持具3のうち香料シート31が存在しない部分が、飲料Bの通り道として働く。 The flavoring sheet 31 is smaller than the circle (having a diameter D) defined by the roughly C-shaped elastic member 32. Therefore, even when the flavoring holder 3 is fixed to the beverage storage section 4, it does not block the entire horizontal cross section of the can body 41. As a result, the flavoring holder 3 does not impede the removal of the beverage B. In other words, the portion of the flavoring holder 3 where the flavoring sheet 31 is not present acts as a passageway for the beverage B.
 香料保持具3を提供する方法は、上記の香料保持具3の構成から当業者が容易に理解できるだろう。たとえば、香料シート31の基材に香料を保持させて香料シート31を作成したのちに、当該香料シート31を接着等の任意の方法で弾性部材32と接続すればよい。 The method of providing the fragrance holder 3 will be easily understood by those skilled in the art from the configuration of the fragrance holder 3 described above. For example, after the fragrance sheet 31 is created by holding the fragrance in the base material of the fragrance sheet 31, the fragrance sheet 31 can be connected to the elastic member 32 by any method such as adhesion.
〔飲料製品の製造方法〕
 次に、本実施形態に係る飲料製品1の製造方法を説明する。飲料製品1の製造方法は、飲料容器2の飲料収容部4(缶胴部41)に飲料Bを収容する第一の工程と、飲料Bが収容されている飲料収容部4(缶胴部41)の内側に香料保持具3を固定する第二の工程と、香料保持具3が固定された飲料収容部4(缶胴部41)に缶蓋部42(蓋の一例である。)を装着する第三の工程と、を備える。なお、香料保持具3は、香料を含む香料シート31が弾性部材32に接続された完成形の状態で、飲料製品1の製造に供される。
[Method of manufacturing beverage products]
Next, a manufacturing method of the beverage product 1 according to this embodiment will be described. The manufacturing method of the beverage product 1 includes a first step of housing a beverage B in the beverage housing portion 4 (can body portion 41) of the beverage container 2, a second step of fixing a flavoring retainer 3 to the inside of the beverage housing portion 4 (can body portion 41) in which the beverage B is housed, and a third step of attaching a can lid portion 42 (an example of a lid) to the beverage housing portion 4 (can body portion 41) to which the flavoring retainer 3 is fixed. The flavoring retainer 3 is provided for manufacturing the beverage product 1 in a completed state in which a flavoring sheet 31 containing a flavoring is connected to an elastic member 32.
 このうち、第一の工程および第三の工程は、缶飲料製品の製造方法として公知の方法を適用できる。すなわち、第一の工程の実施方法として、公知の充填装置を用いて缶胴部41に飲料Bを充填する方法が例示される。また、第三の工程の実施方法として、公知の巻締め装置(シーマ-とも称される。)を用いて缶胴部41に缶蓋部42を巻き締める方法が例示される。 Of these, the first and third steps can be carried out using known methods for manufacturing canned beverage products. That is, an example of a method for carrying out the first step is to fill the can body 41 with beverage B using a known filling device. Also, an example of a method for carrying out the third step is to use a known seaming device (also called a seamer) to seam the can lid 42 around the can body 41.
 第二の工程は、第一の工程において飲料Bが収容された飲料収容部4(缶胴部41)の内側に、弾性部材32の付勢力によって香料保持具3を固定する工程である。前述のように、あらかじめ径を縮めた弾性部材32を缶胴部41に挿入したあとにその形状を回復させると、弾性部材32が缶胴部41の内側を押す状態になり、弾性部材32がその位置に固定される。 The second step is to fix the flavoring holder 3 to the inside of the beverage storage section 4 (can body 41) in which the beverage B was stored in the first step, by the biasing force of the elastic member 32. As described above, when the elastic member 32, whose diameter has been reduced in advance, is inserted into the can body 41 and then its shape is restored, the elastic member 32 presses against the inside of the can body 41, and the elastic member 32 is fixed in position.
 したがって、第一の工程を担う装置と第三の工程を担う装置と、の間に、弾性部材32の径を縮めて缶胴部41に挿入する装置を設置すれば、第二の工程を実施できる。たとえば、弾性部材32の下面の傾斜部32aを缶胴部41の上部開口の縁(第三の工程において缶蓋部42が巻き締められる部位である。)に当接させて、上から弾性部材32を押し込めば、傾斜部32aが缶胴部41の縁に沿う態様で弾性部材32が缶胴部41に押し込まれる際に、弾性部材32が縮みながら缶胴部41に進入し、縁を通過したところで元の形状を回復して固定される。このとき、香料保持具3のうち香料シート31が存在しない部分を、開口部45の直下に配置すると、開口46を形成した後に飲料Bを取り出しやすい。 Therefore, the second step can be performed by installing a device between the device performing the first step and the device performing the third step that shrinks the diameter of the elastic member 32 and inserts it into the can body 41. For example, if the inclined portion 32a on the lower surface of the elastic member 32 is abutted against the edge of the upper opening of the can body 41 (the portion where the can lid 42 is tightened in the third step) and the elastic member 32 is pressed from above, when the elastic member 32 is pressed into the can body 41 with the inclined portion 32a following the edge of the can body 41, the elastic member 32 shrinks as it enters the can body 41, and when it passes the edge it regains its original shape and is fixed. At this time, if the portion of the flavor retainer 3 where the flavor sheet 31 does not exist is placed directly under the opening 45, it is easy to take out the beverage B after the opening 46 is formed.
 以上の構成によれば、第一の工程および第三の工程として従来の缶飲料製品の製造設備および方法を利用し、第二の工程の実施手段を新たに加えることで、本実施形態に係る飲料製品1を比較的容易に製造できる。 With the above configuration, the beverage product 1 according to this embodiment can be manufactured relatively easily by using conventional manufacturing equipment and methods for canned beverage products for the first and third steps and adding a new means for implementing the second step.
〔その他の実施形態〕
 最後に、本発明に係る香料保持具、飲料容器、飲料製品、および飲料製品の製造方法のその他の実施形態について説明する。なお、以下のそれぞれの実施形態で開示される構成は、矛盾が生じない限り、他の実施形態で開示される構成と組み合わせて適用することも可能である。
Other embodiments
Finally, other embodiments of the flavor retainer, beverage container, beverage product, and beverage product manufacturing method according to the present invention will be described. Note that the configurations disclosed in each of the following embodiments can be combined with the configurations disclosed in other embodiments as long as no contradiction occurs.
 上記の実施形態では、飲料容器がステイオンタブ式の缶である構成を例として説明した。しかし、本発明に係る飲料容器は缶に限定されず、瓶、プラスチックボトル、カートン容器などであってもよい。また、この場合、飲料容器の飲料収容部に開口を形成する方法は、飲料容器の種類に応じて適宜選択される。たとえば飲料容器が瓶やペットボトルなどである場合は、スクリューキャップを開口部とする形態が採用されうる。また、たとえば飲料容器がカートン容器である場合は、あらかじめカートン容器の天面に設けられた開口に、当該開口を封止するシート状の封止材を貼付して開口部とする形態が採用されうる。 In the above embodiment, the beverage container is a stay-on-tab can. However, the beverage container according to the present invention is not limited to a can, and may be a bottle, a plastic bottle, a carton container, or the like. In this case, the method of forming an opening in the beverage storage portion of the beverage container is appropriately selected according to the type of beverage container. For example, if the beverage container is a bottle or a plastic bottle, a configuration in which a screw cap is used as the opening may be adopted. Also, if the beverage container is a carton container, a configuration in which a sheet-like sealant that seals the opening is affixed to an opening previously provided on the top surface of the carton container to form the opening may be adopted.
 開口を形成する際に加えられる所定の力は、飲料収容部の開口を閉鎖する方法によって決定づけられる。被操作部の態様により決定づけられる、ともいえる。たとえば飲料容器がスクリューキャップにより封止されたペットボトルである場合、スクリューキャップが被操作部であり、スクリューキャップを回転させる力が加えられたときに開口が形成される。 The specified force applied when forming the opening is determined by the method for closing the opening of the beverage container. It can also be said that it is determined by the form of the operated part. For example, if the beverage container is a plastic bottle sealed with a screw cap, the screw cap is the operated part, and the opening is formed when a force is applied to rotate the screw cap.
