Tea bag packaging

Abstract

We provide tea bag packaging that serves to catch any drips from used tea bags. [Solution] Using the principle of origami, mountain fold 1 and valley fold 2 are processed at the bottom of the packaging that holds the tea bag, and folded inside the packaging. When the packaging is opened, a tray is created to catch the drips from the used tea bag.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to tea bags and the packaging of tea bags.

Background Art

[0002] When using a tea bag, if the tea bag body is lifted out of hot water, there are dripping drops from the tea bag. If there is no container on the table, placing the tea bag on the table may stain the table. The present invention eliminates the need for a plate or the like for placing the used tea bag, and realizes the effect of preventing the table from being stained by receiving the dripping drops from the packaging of the tea bag.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] In order to prevent the dripping drops from the used tea bag from falling on the table and staining it, a plate or the like had to be prepared. Therefore, there was also the trouble of washing the plate.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0004] The present invention processes a part of the packaging bag to form mountain folds and valley folds, and realizes a plate for receiving dripping drops based on the principle of origami.

Effects of the Invention

[0005] Since the lower part of the packaging material is bent like origami to form a plate, when a used tea bag is placed on it, the dripping drops are received and the table is not stained. And the packaging bag can be discarded together with the used tea bag, which is convenient. When using a plate or the like to place the used tea bag, there is the trouble of washing the plate, but in the case of the present invention, such trouble is eliminated. Since a part of the packaging material is utilized, it is compact and can reduce waste of resources. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0006] [Figure 1] This is a perspective view of the tea bag packaging of this invention, which forms a tray to catch used tea bags as shown on top. [Figure 2] This is an exploded view of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is a cross-sectional view showing the tea bag of the present invention.

[0007] The following explanation will be given in accordance with the attached drawings. In Figure 1, number 1 is the mountain fold, which forms the edge when the tea bag is removed from the packaging and used as a dish. Number 2 is the valley fold, which forms the bottom and edge of the dish. As shown in Figure 1, numbers 1 and 2 form the dish. Number 3 indicates the main body that holds the tea bag. Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of the finished product with the tea bag inside, as seen from the X direction in Figure 2, where number 4 is the tea bag body, number 5 is the tag, and number 6 is the thread connecting the tea bag body and the tag. Number 7 indicates the direction when opening the package.

Claims

[Claim 1] The packaging for storing tea bags is characterized by the fact that the bottom of the packaging is folded with mountain folds 1 and valley folds 2 to accommodate the tea bags, and after the tea bags are removed, the packaging is opened and unfolded to create a tray that catches the drips from the used tea bags.
