Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a paper cup containing a luxury item such as green tea, black tea, or coffee, which can be easily enjoyed by simply pouring hot water or the like into the cup. [Background technology]

[0002] A common method for easily enjoying green tea, black tea, or coffee is to put tea leaves, a luxury item powder, or a tea bag, etc., in a paper cup, pour hot water over it, and drink it. To enjoy the luxury items in this way, it is necessary to prepare a paper cup and the luxury item raw materials, such as green tea, black tea, etc., or instant coffee powder, etc. Since it is necessary to prepare the paper cup and the luxury item raw materials separately, there is a demand for a product in which the luxury item raw materials are enclosed in the paper cup itself.

[0003] As an example of a way to easily enjoy such luxury items, Patent Document 1 introduces a teacup in which a certain amount of tea leaves is placed in the tea leaf chamber, and tea can be extracted and enjoyed by pouring hot water into the top of the teacup. In this configuration, a honeycomb filter is used to prevent the tea leaves from moving to the upper chamber. Patent Document 1 does not show a specific structure for installing the honeycomb filter in the teacup, and the feasibility of this is questionable.

[0004] Non-Patent Document 1 also introduces a paper cup containing tea leaves that allows you to enjoy Japanese tea simply by placing a filter and tea leaves in the lower inner layer of the paper cup and pouring in hot water. In this paper cup, the filter is attached using a highly transparent film, also used in tea bags, by thermocompression without the use of adhesives, and is highly safe and does not impair the flavor of the tea leaves. However, in order to place tea leaves in a paper cup and attach the filter to the inside of the paper cup by heat bonding, processing equipment for heat bonding is required, and it seems difficult to manufacture it simply. Also, since the tea leaves are covered only by the filter, there is a concern that moisture may enter through the filter and damage the flavor of the tea leaves themselves. [Prior art documents]

[0006] Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The present invention aims to solve these problems and provide a paper cup with a luxury item inside, which does not impair the flavor of the luxury item raw material such as tea leaves inside the paper cup, can be manufactured without using thermocompression equipment or the like in the manufacturing process, and can be easily enjoyed by simply pouring hot water or the like into it. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The present invention is characterized in that it is composed of a paper cup body having an inverted truncated cone shape as a whole and with an upper opening that opens upward; an internal tubular member that can be fitted inside the paper cup body, has approximately the same inverted truncated cone shape as the paper cup body, is configured with the same height dimensions excluding the bottom of the paper cup body, and is made entirely of the same material as the paper cup body and is formed into a cylindrical shape; an oblate that is large enough to cover the entire lower opening of the internal tubular member and is placed at the lower opening of the internal tubular member; a filter that is large enough to cover the entire lower opening of the internal tubular member and is placed on top of the oblate at the lower opening of the internal tubular member; and a luxury item ingredient enclosed between the bottom of the paper cup body and the oblate and the filter when the internal tubular member with the oblate and filter placed at the lower opening is fitted into the paper cup body. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to the paper cup containing a luxury item according to the present invention, the contained luxury item ingredient is prevented from deteriorating in flavor by the oblate installed at the bottom of the paper cup body and the internal tubular member, which prevents the intrusion of moisture and the like, and the oblate and filter are held in place by the paper cup body and the internal tubular member, and the paper cup can be manufactured without using heat pressing equipment, etc. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] An embodiment of the paper cup containing a luxury item ingredient according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 and 2. 1 is a paper cup body, which is generally inverted truncated cone shape and has an upper opening that opens upward. 1 The bottom plate 2 is attached to the lower side of the blank 3, and the upper end edge is formed with curling 4. 1 It is made of a base paper made of 100% pulp paper laminated with polyethylene or other materials.

[0012] 10 The paper cup body 1 The internal cylindrical member is substantially the same in size as the internal cylindrical member 10 and formed into the same inverted truncated cone shape as the internal cylindrical member 10, and is formed into a cylindrical shape as a whole. 10 The paper cup body 1 The inner cylindrical member is made of the same material as the inner cylindrical member 1 and is configured in a shape that can be fitted inside the paper cup body 1. 10 The upper end edge of the inner cylindrical member is formed with curling 14. 10 The height dimension is the paper cup body 1 and is formed to a size that allows a storage chamber for storing luxury goods ingredients 5 to be formed between its lower end and the bottom plate 2 of the paper cup body 1. The height dimension of the storage chamber is preferably, for example, about 1 cm to 1.5 cm. 10 The oblate 15 and the filter 16 are provided at the lower end of the inner cylindrical member. 10 The inner cylindrical member is formed on the outer periphery of the inner cylindrical member. 10 The outer peripheral edge of the oblate 15 itself is formed so as to overlap with the outer peripheral surface of the lower opening of the inner cylindrical member. 10 It has a raised shape that fits along the outer peripheral surface of the lower opening of the container, and has an overall shallow cup shape.

[0013] The filter 16 is configured to have a shape similar to that of the oblate 15, and is placed on the oblate 15 as an inner cylindrical member. 10The filter 16 is made of a relatively fine gauze material or nonwoven fabric. The oblate 15 and the filter 16 may be integrated with a small amount of edible glue. Alternatively, the oblate 15 may be attached to an internal cylindrical member. 10 Then, the filter 16 may be attached. A small amount of edible glue may be used for the attachment.

[0014] Inner tubular member 10 In other words, in the paper cup manufacturing process, a blank 13 is formed at the time of blank manufacturing, which is longer than the paper cup body except for the bottom and the portion corresponding to the storage chamber for storing the luxury item, and the body is wrapped and bonded using this blank 13 to form an internal cylindrical member. 10 In addition, the inner cylindrical member 10 A curling 14 is also formed on the upper end edge. In addition, the inner cylindrical member 10 Instead of manufacturing the paper cup as described above, it is also possible to form the paper cup by cutting out the bottom plate portion of the paper cup body 1 and the portion corresponding to the luxury item storage chamber.

[0015] Inner tubular member 10 The height dimension is the paper cup body 1 That is, the inner cylindrical member is shorter than the 10 The paper cup body 1 Inner cylindrical member 10 When the paper cup body is fitted, 1 The paper cup body is located at the bottom inside of the 1 The bottom plate 2 and the inner cylindrical member 10 The inner cylindrical member is configured to have a height that allows a chamber for storing luxury items to be formed between the oblate 15 and the filter 16 installed at the lower end of the inner cylindrical member. 10 The paper cup body 1 Inner cylindrical member 10 In the state where the inner cylindrical member is fitted to the inner cylindrical member, 10 The paper cup body is slightly below the curling 14. 1 The height dimension is such that the curling 4 is located.1 Inner cylindrical member 10 When the paper cup body is fitted, 1 and the inner circumferential surface of the inner cylindrical member 10 The outer circumferential surface of the casing is in almost intimate contact with the casing.

[0016] Paper cup body 1 Prepare the paper cup body. 1 The luxury goods raw material 5, such as tea leaves or coffee powder, is placed in the luxury goods raw material storage chamber at the bottom of the inner cylindrical member. 10 With the oblate 15 and the filter 16 installed at the lower end of the inner cylindrical body, 10 The paper cup body 1 By fitting the oblate 15 and the filter 16 inside the inner cylindrical body 10, a paper cup containing the luxury item ingredient is completed. If the oblate 15 and the filter 16 are stacked and joined in advance to ensure a certain level of rigidity, it is not necessary to use edible glue when attaching them to the inner cylindrical body 10. In other words, the outer periphery of the oblate 15 and the filter 16 is fixed to the paper cup body. 1 Inner cylindrical member 10 When the blanks are stacked, the blanks can be tightly attached to each other and the outer periphery can be fixed.

[0017] When hot water is poured into the paper cup containing the luxury ingredient thus constructed, the wafer 15 dissolves, and the main components are extracted from the tea leaves or coffee bean powder of the luxury ingredient 5, allowing the enjoyment of tea or coffee. The tea leaves or coffee bean powder are separated by the filter 16, and are not carried to the mouth. This paper cup containing the luxury item ingredient is composed of the paper cup ingredient, the luxury item ingredient, an oblate 15, and a filter 16, and can be disposed of as is after drinking.

[0018] The paper cups containing the luxury goods can be sold in multiples in a moisture-proof resin bag with a zipper, allowing customers to take out the desired amount and enjoy it.

[0019] In the embodiment of the present invention, the case where tea leaves or coffee powder is used as the luxury ingredient has been described, but instead of this, it is also possible to enclose a combination of dried dashi ingredients such as kelp, dried bonito flakes, shiitake mushrooms, etc. and dried seasonings such as miso paste, soy sauce, etc. It is also possible to pour hot or cold water into a paper cup containing these dashi ingredients and seasonings, extracting the umami components from the dashi and seasonings and enjoying them as soup. In the above embodiment, it is also possible to pour water into a paper cup containing tea leaves or coffee powder to extract tea or coffee, and then float ice on top to cool it down before enjoying it.
