Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This invention relates to a beverage extraction bag for extracting one serving of beverage into a beverage cup, and more specifically to a beverage extraction bag which is equipped with a filter bag that already contains an appropriate amount of beverage bean powder or the like, and which can be hung on the edge of a beverage cup and used to make a beverage by pouring hot water into it. [Background technology]
[0002] Instant drink powders, which have been processed into a powder form using a freeze-drying method, are used by many people because they allow you to quickly make your favorite drink by simply adding hot water.Today, instant drink powders for not only coffee but also black tea and green tea are also sold.
[0003] However, although the freeze-drying method is suitable for removing moisture, the removal of moisture also impairs the beverage's unique aroma and flavor, so many beverage lovers do not like using instant powdered beverages.
[0004] This trend is particularly strong among coffee lovers who enjoy subtle aromas and flavors, many of whom enjoy authentic coffee using ground coffee beans. To cater to these lovers, several companies have come up with a wide variety of functional outlet-powered coffee makers, and home appliance retailers have set up coffee maker sections to cater to them. By the way, using a coffee maker requires the work of adding the appropriate amount of coffee bean powder using a measuring spoon, etc., and then the post-processing of removing the coffee bean powder and disposable filters after making the coffee, which is by no means a fun task.
[0005] On the other hand, there are many coffee lovers who, out of their own liking, enjoy pouring hot water over ground coffee beans, enjoying the aroma that rises from the ground coffee beans, and the process of making coffee itself. To cater to such coffee lovers, disposable beverage brewing bags have been proposed which include a filter bag containing an amount of ground coffee beans to fill one cup of coffee.
[0006] These beverage extraction bags do not require the use of a measuring spoon to add coffee bean powder, and once the coffee is made the beverage extraction bag can simply be disposed of as combustible waste. Furthermore, they are popular among coffee lovers because they allow them to leisurely enjoy the aroma of the coffee as they pour in the hot water and the process of making their own unique coffee.
[0007] This beverage extraction bag is extremely inexpensive and can be disposable, since the parts that are attached to the cup and the filter bag are all made of paper. Today, beverage bags are sold by a number of companies, each of which offers a number of designs for securely attaching to a cup. [Prior art documents]
[0008] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 4079041 [Patent Document 2] Patent No. 4652000 [Patent Document 3] Patent No. 6345939 [Patent Document 4] Patent No. 5775355 [Patent Document 5] Design Registration No. 1396569 [Patent Document 6] Design Registration No. 1354691 [Patent Document 7] Design Registration No. 1322980 [Patent Document 8] Design Registration No. 1277441 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0009] However, the above-mentioned conventional beverage extraction bags have the following problems. The above-mentioned conventional beverage extraction bags satisfy the needs of coffee lovers who want to slowly brew coffee and enjoy the aroma, etc., of the coffee. However, the appearance of the beverage extraction bags is dull and not very pleasing to look at.
[0010] Quoting from books and instruction manuals, the method for brewing drip coffee is as follows: First, you need to pour a small amount of hot water over the ground coffee beans to steam them, which should take at least 20 to 30 seconds, or 50 to 60 seconds if you prefer a stronger coffee. After the steaming process, the next step is pouring hot water, which must be poured from the center of the coffee bean powder to the outside in a circular motion several times. It is preferable to pour the hot water in small amounts at a time, and it is best to use a dedicated device such as a drip pot with a small spout.
[0011] As mentioned above, the task of brewing coffee needs to be done slowly and over a long period of time, so one has to keep looking at the beverage extraction bag for several minutes. However, conventional beverage extraction bags do not have any pictures or patterns on them, so it is not enjoyable to look at them. [Means for solving the problem]
[0012] The beverage extraction bag of this invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and comprises a tubular member which becomes cylindrical when opened and has a pair of hanging parts facing downward, a rising member whose both side ends are foldably connected to the edges of the tubular member and which has a fold line in the center so that it can be folded in half left and right, and which is always folded and stored inside the tubular member, a filter bag which has an opening which is glued to fit a spout formed in the center of the rising member and which contains bean powder for beverage extraction, and an ornamental paper which has a pair of glue parts with fold lines, has a fold line in the center between the pair of glue parts, and the pair of glue parts are glued to the upper left and right surfaces respectively at a position where the fold line is directly above the fold line of the rising member, and which is always folded inside the rising member. Effect of the Invention
[0013] When the beverage extraction bag of this invention is opened so that it can be hung on a beverage cup, both the raised portion and the decorative paper that are folded inward rise up and can be seen, making coffee making even more enjoyable. [Brief description of the drawings]
[0014] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the beverage extraction bag according to the present invention; [Diagram 2] FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing a beverage extraction bag according to the present invention in a folded state; [Diagram 3] FIG. 1 is an external perspective view showing a state in which the beverage extraction bag according to the present invention is opened; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0015] An embodiment of the beverage extraction bag according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The beverage extraction bag is stored in a bag such as aluminum foil that does not release aroma, but the bag is not shown in the drawings because it is not directly related to the present invention. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a beverage extraction bag, and in FIG. 1, a blank viewing sheet, which will be described later, is shown in order to clarify the configuration of the beverage extraction bag.
[0016] Reference numeral 1 in the figure denotes a cylindrical member, and in this example, the cylindrical member 1 has six fold lines and is configured to have a hexagonal cylindrical shape when opened. This tubular member 1 is normally provided in a folded state as shown in FIG. 2 and stored in a bag (not shown) when it is purchased.
[0017] 1, a pair of opposing hooks 2 are provided below the cylindrical member 1. The hooks 2 are composed of two parallel cut lines and a crease line formed between the tops of the cut lines, and by folding the hooks 2 inside the cylindrical member 1 and sandwiching two points on the edge of the beverage cup between the hooks 2 and the cylindrical member 1, the beverage extraction bag can be fixed in an open state on top of the beverage cup.
[0018] Also, 3 shown in Figure 1 is a rising member, and this rising member 3 is hexagonal in shape, which is the same as the opening of the tubular member 1, and has a pair of adhesive portions folded downward at both end portions, and these adhesive portions are glued to the edges of the tubular member 1. A straight fold line 4 is formed in the center of the ascending member 3, and the ascending member 3 can be folded in half to the left and right along this fold line 4. The ascending member 3 is usually stored inside the tubular member 1 by folding this fold line 4 downward as shown in FIG. 2. In other words, when the cylindrical member 1 is opened, the rising member 3 becomes flat and can rise to the same height as the edge of the cylindrical member 1.
[0019] Also, reference numeral 5 in FIG. 1 denotes a filter bag containing an appropriate amount of bean powder for extracting a beverage, and the opening of this filter bag 5 is glued so as to fit with a circular spout formed in the center of the rising member 3.
[0020] On the other hand, reference numeral 6 in FIG. 1 denotes an ornamental paper, which has a pair of glue tabs 8 on the left and right sides of its lower end, a fold line 7 in the center of the pair of glue tabs 8, and a small notch formed at the lower end of the fold line 7. The cut line 7 is bent at a slight angle as shown in FIG. 1, and a pair of adhesive portions 8 are glued to the left and right surfaces of the lifting member 3 at a position where the cut line 7 is directly above the fold line 4 of the lifting means 3. This appreciation paper 6 is normally folded in half so that the fold line 7 overlaps the fold line 4 of the ascending member 3, and is stored inside the tubular member 1 together with the ascending member 3 as shown in FIG. The shape of the appreciation paper 6 does not need to be symmetrical about the fold line 7, and various shapes are contemplated.
[0021] On the other hand, reference numeral 9 in Figure 1 shows another example of the configuration of appreciation paper, in which appreciation paper 9 is formed by folding a piece of paper with a symmetrical shape in half along crease line 11, and a pair of creases 10 are formed at the bottom end that are folded outward, the outer portions of which form the glue tabs. The appreciation paper 9 has its glue tabs glued to the left and right upper surfaces of the ascending member 3 at positions where the fold line 11 is directly above the fold line 4 of the ascending member 3. The decorative member 9 is always folded along the fold line 10 with the fold line 4 of the rising member 3, and is stored inside the tubular member 1 together with the rising portion 3 as shown in FIG.
[0022] When the beverage extraction bag constructed as described above is taken out of a bag (not shown), the rising member 3 and the decorative paper 6 and 9 are in a state where they are not visible to the user, as shown in Figure 2. However, when the tubular member 1 is opened to hang it on a beverage cup, the rising member 3 rises to the same height as the edge of the tubular member 1 and opens, as shown in Figure 3. The fold lines of the glue margins of the appreciation paper 6 and the appreciation paper 9 form approximately right angles, rise above the upper surface of the lifting member 3, and are visible to the user.
[0023] FIG. 3 shows an example in which the Egyptian Sphinx and pyramids are depicted on the decorative paper 6, and the head of a camel is depicted on the decorative paper 9. These may be photographs or comical illustrations. Also, on the upper surface of the ascending member 3, a picture of a desert may be drawn, or explanatory text may be written, such as the total length of the Sphinx, the height and total weight of the pyramid, and the estimated number of years required to construct it.
[0024] The beverage extraction bag of the present invention constructed as described above allows you to enjoy the aroma rising from the coffee bean powder when making coffee and to make your own style of coffee, and you can also enjoy looking at the hidden decoration paper, making coffee making even more enjoyable.
