Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of teaware, and in particular to a side-handled tea bowl. Background Technology

[0002] In the realm of traditional teaware, tea bowls and gaiwans are common drinking vessels, typically used for holding and drinking tea. Traditional tea bowls and gaiwans have a simple design, mainly consisting of a bowl and a lid, lacking a dedicated spout or handle, unlike teapots. Specifically, traditional tea bowls and gaiwans usually lack a pointed spout and an additional handle, making it inconvenient for users when pouring tea. For example, when pouring tea, users often need to hold the bowl directly, but since tea bowls are usually made of highly thermally conductive materials such as ceramic or purple clay, the high temperature of the tea can easily cause burns, affecting the user experience and safety. Furthermore, without a spout, the tea easily flows down the bowl's sides when poured, causing drips or spills, wasting tea and potentially polluting the environment.

[0003] On the other hand, teapots, another common type of tea utensil, are typically equipped with a spout and a handle for easy pouring and to prevent scalding. However, teapots are primarily designed for brewing and serving tea, and their relatively complex structure and large size make them unsuitable for direct drinking. Furthermore, teapot handles are usually fixed to one side of the pot, primarily optimized for right-handed users, which may be inconvenient for left-handed users.

[0004] In recent years, with the development of tea culture, users have placed higher demands on the convenience and comfort of teaware. Although some improved tea bowls have appeared on the market, such as adding anti-scalding pads or improving lid design, these solutions often fail to fundamentally solve the problems of water dispensing and scalding prevention. In particular, the design flaws of traditional tea bowls in terms of water dispensing and handling limit their usage scenarios and user experience. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a new tea bowl design to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a side-handled teacup that integrates a handle and a water dispensing function, while also being scald-proof and ambidextrous.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: A side-handled teacup includes a teacup body with a handle attached to the outer wall of the teacup body. The handle is a rod-shaped structure with its inner end connected to the teacup body. The outer end of the handle is a free end that extends outward at an angle. A groove is provided on the inner wall of the top opening of the teacup body. The groove is a horizontal annular structure. A lid is detachably provided on the top opening of the teacup body. The lid has a rim on its outer periphery. When the teacup body is placed upright, the rim can rest against the bottom structure of the groove. The lid can also move laterally in the radial direction after being placed upright, so that the rim at the front end of the lateral movement is locked in the groove, forming a limiting structure between the lid and the teacup body. A water outlet is also provided on the rim of the lid.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the outer side wall of the tea bowl body is provided with an outwardly protruding handle seat, the outer end of the handle seat is provided with a flange structure insertion part, and the inner end of the handle is provided with an insertion groove that matches the insertion part. The insertion part and the insertion groove constitute the connection structure between the handle seat and the handle.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the handle base and the teacup body are an integral structure.

[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the top opening of the tea bowl body is provided with an inclined outward flared edge, and the inner wall of the flared edge forms a sloping structure with the outer side higher than the inner side, and the groove is located at the bottom of the sloping structure.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution, a number of evenly distributed water outlet holes are provided on one side of the cover edge, and air holes are also provided on the side of the cover edge away from the water outlet holes.

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, the longitudinal profile of the handle seat is an inverted "V" shape.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages: This invention features a groove at the top opening of the teacup, which, together with the lid's rim, forms a limiting structure. Combined with the water outlet on the lid rim, when pouring tea, the user only needs to pre-position the lid within the groove, eliminating the need to constantly press the lid. This avoids direct contact with the teacup and potential burns, and also ensures a fixed water outlet, preventing dripping and spillage common with traditional teacups. This not only reduces tea waste but also maintains a clean and hygienic tea-drinking environment.

[0013] The handle design of this invention provides excellent hand support, preventing burns from direct contact with the teacup body. The handle's rod-like structure and the outwardly extending free end conform to ergonomic principles, making it more comfortable and natural to hold, effectively reducing hand fatigue. Furthermore, the handle is securely and stably connected to the teacup body via a handle base and plug-in structure, capable of withstanding certain external forces and ensuring the handle will not loosen or detach during use, further enhancing the burn prevention effect. For example, when the teacup contains hot tea, the user can confidently hold the handle to pour the tea without worrying about burns, greatly improving safety and comfort. Additionally, whether right-handed or left-handed, users can hold the handle with a natural hand posture when pouring tea, easily controlling the teacup's tilt angle and pouring speed.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely to represent selected embodiments of this utility model.

[0018] Combination Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment discloses a side-handled tea bowl that integrates a handle and a water dispensing function, while also taking into account scalding prevention and ambidextrousness. It effectively solves the problems of traditional tea bowls in terms of water dispensing and hand holding, and brings users a more convenient, comfortable and safe tea drinking experience.

[0019] The side-handled tea bowl includes a tea bowl body 1, a handle 2, and a lid 3.

[0020] The main body 1 of the tea bowl, serving as the basic structure of the entire side-handled tea bowl, is made of ceramic and has a U-shaped longitudinal profile. Its inner cavity is used to hold the tea. The design of its outer wall provides a basis for the subsequent connection of the handle 2, while the design of the top opening, in conjunction with the lid 3, enables the sealing and opening of the tea.

[0021] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the teacup body 1 has an outwardly protruding handle seat 11. The outer end of the handle seat 11 has a flanged insertion part 12, and the inner end of the handle 2 has an insertion groove 21 that matches the insertion part 12. The interference fit between the insertion part 12 and the insertion groove 21 constitutes the connection structure between the handle seat 11 and the handle 2. This connection structure makes the connection between the handle 2 and the teacup body 1 more secure and stable, able to withstand greater external forces, and less prone to loosening or falling off. In other embodiments, the insertion part 12 and the insertion groove 21 can also be connected by a threaded structure to improve the ease of disassembly and assembly. For example, after a period of use, the user can remove the handle 2 from the handle seat 11 and clean the teacup body 1 and the handle 2 separately to ensure the teacup is hygienic and clean.

[0022] The handle base 11 and the teacup body 1 are integrated into one piece. This design further enhances the connection strength and overall stability between the handle 2 and the teacup body 1. The integrated structure avoids potential gaps and loosening between the handle base 11 and the teacup body 1, making the entire side-handled teacup structure more compact and robust. Furthermore, the integrated structure simplifies the manufacturing process, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0023] The longitudinal profile of the handle base 11 is an inverted "V" shape. This design allows the handle base 11 to reduce material usage and lower production costs while ensuring connection strength. Furthermore, the inverted "V" shape of the handle base 11 is more aesthetically pleasing and meets the design aesthetic requirements of modern teaware. Simultaneously, this shape provides more stable support for the handle 2, making it less prone to deformation or damage under stress. This structure is ergonomic, easy to grip, and allows for convenient picking up or putting down of the teacup even when the tea table is at a low position.

[0024] The inner wall of the top opening of the teacup body 1 has a horizontally annular groove 14. The lid 3 has a lid rim 31 on its outer periphery. When the lid 3 is placed upright, the lid rim 31 rests against the bottom structure of the groove 14. Furthermore, the lid 3 can move radially after being placed upright, causing the lid rim 31 at the front end of the lateral movement to engage within the groove 14, thus forming a limiting structure between the lid 3 and the teacup body 1. This limiting structure ensures the stable placement of the lid 3 on the teacup body 1, preventing the lid 3 from accidentally falling off when pouring tea or moving the teacup. Simultaneously, this design facilitates the opening and closing of the lid 3; the user only needs to gently push the lid 3 to achieve radial lateral movement and complete the opening or closing operation.

[0025] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top opening of the teacup body 1 has an inclined, outward-flaring rim 13. The inner wall of the rim 13 forms a sloping structure with a higher outer surface and a lower inner surface, and the groove 14 is located at the bottom of this sloping structure. This design makes the lid 3 easier to place and open. When the lid 3 is placed upright, the lid rim 31 can smoothly rest against the bottom of the groove 14 along the sloping structure of the rim 13; when opening the lid 3, the lid rim 31 can also easily move radially laterally along the sloping structure. At the same time, the design of the rim 13 can also prevent tea from splashing out of the teacup when poured, providing a certain degree of obstruction and further improving the safety and convenience of use.

[0026] The lid 3 has a water outlet 32 ​​on its rim 31. When pouring tea, the user simply tilts the teacup at a certain angle, and the tea flows smoothly through the water outlet 32. The design of the water outlet 32 ​​makes the flow of tea more precise and controllable, avoiding the dripping and spilling that easily occurs when pouring tea from a traditional teacup. Moreover, the size and shape of the water outlet 32 ​​can be designed according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different tea flow rates and directions.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a number of evenly distributed water outlet holes 32 are provided on one side of the lid rim 31 (in this embodiment, they are arranged in two rows). This even distribution design allows the tea soup to flow out more evenly when poured, avoiding situations where the flow rate is too high or too low in certain areas. An air vent 33 is also provided on the side of the lid rim 31 away from the water outlet holes 32. The function of the air vent 33 is to balance the air pressure inside and outside the tea bowl when pouring the tea soup, allowing the tea soup to flow out more smoothly. Without the air vent 33, the air pressure inside the tea bowl would decrease as the tea soup flows out, creating a negative pressure that would hinder the continued flow of tea soup, resulting in an uneven pouring process. The air vent 33 effectively solves this problem, ensuring a smooth pouring process.

[0028] This utility model's side-handled teacup emphasizes detail and aesthetics in its design. The shape of the handle 2, the design of the handle base 11, and the fit between the lid 3 and the teacup body 1 are all meticulously designed, resulting in a beautiful and elegant overall appearance. Design elements such as the inverted "V"-shaped handle base 11, the sloping outward-curving rim 13, and the evenly distributed water outlet holes 32 not only serve practical functions but also add a unique artistic charm to the teacup. Using this side-handled teacup allows one to enjoy not only the delicious tea but also the visual appeal of the teaware, enhancing the overall tea-drinking experience and quality.

[0029] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
