Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a pouring spout structure of a resin drip pot.

Background Art

[0002] The pouring spout of the drip needs to discharge a certain amount as a thin water flow suitable for the drip during coffee preparation. For this reason, conventional drip pots are provided with a pouring spout in the shape of a crane's neck formed by a thin tube that protrudes from the bottom of the pot body and is curved at the upper part. Even if there is a slight change in the tilting angle of the container, the change in the discharge amount is small, and it is rectified and discharged by passing through a thin tube of a certain length (Patent Documents 1, 2). The drip pot is designed to exhibit a predetermined function by adopting a thin metal tube for the pouring spout.

[0003] By the way, when using a microwave oven for heating for boiling water, the metal pots described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 above cannot be used, and it is necessary to boil water in a ceramic or resin container and then transfer it to the drip pot, which is a cumbersome operation. Therefore, if the drip pot is made of a resin container, the problem can be solved. However, even if the edge of the container body is simply formed into a spout shape to form a pouring spout, it cannot be discharged as a thin water flow suitable for the drip. As a countermeasure, there is a commercially available resin drip pot in which the pouring spout protrusion is shaped to protrude outward from the bottom of the container in a narrow width, and the edge of the pouring spout at the tip is in a hanging shape (Zebran: registered trademark: measuring drip pot).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The aforementioned commercially available resin drip pots, like ordinary pots (containers), allow the container to be tilted, and the hot water (liquid) inside the container is discharged from the edge of the spout after passing through the spout projection. However, even a slight change in the tilt angle alters the discharge rate. Moreover, since the liquid discharged is accumulated in the narrow, open-topped region of the spout projection, the discharged liquid does not necessarily form a thin stream but rather falls in a somewhat diffused state. Therefore, the aforementioned commercially available resin drip pots have functional problems.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention proposes a spout structure for a resin drip pot that provides a suitable flow rate for coffee brewing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The resin drip pot according to claim 1 of the present invention is a resin drip pot having a suitable handle on one side of the resin container body and a spout projection on the opposite side of the handle, wherein the spout projection protrudes outward from the side wall of the container from the bottom to the upper edge, and is vertically elongated Top opening The internal space is formed in the shape of a roughly inverted triangular pyramid with the lower part protruding in an R-shape, and The tip of the upper opening edge It is equipped with a spout end shaped like a beak, The container comprises a side plate portion that is in close contact with the lateral inner wall surface of the internal space when installed, a ridge portion that forms a gap between the side plate portion and the front wall surface of the internal space, creating a flow path from the bottom of the container portion to the end of the spout, and a top plate shaped to fit into the triangular top opening. The spill-preventing member is detachably attached within the spout projection.

[0008] The device involves attaching a spill-blocking member to the spout projection of the container body, tilting the container body, and allowing the liquid (hot water) inside to flow out from the spout onto the coffee grounds for drip coffee extraction. In particular, the liquid flow path within the spout projection is formed by the gap between the front wall surface of the spout projection and the ridge of the spill-blocking member, resulting in a long, narrow, tube-like passage. Consequently, the liquid (hot water) released through this fluid passage forms a long, narrow flow suitable for drip brewing. Furthermore, the shape of the liquid flow path can be determined by selecting the shape of the protruding front edge (front wall surface shape) of the internal space and the shape of the ridge of the spill-blocking member, making it easy to select a swan-neck spout, similar to those found in metal drip pots. Additionally, the inner wall surface forming the internal space of the spout projection and the spill-blocking member can be easily cleaned (washed) by attaching and detaching the spill-blocking member.

[0009] Furthermore, the resin drip pot according to claim 2 of the present invention is particularly characterized in that the spill-blocking member is substantially triangular Top panel and , the lateral inner wall surface in the interior space and Close contact It is formed as a hollow body with a rear opening, consisting of a side plate section and a ridge section, and small perforations are provided at appropriate intervals above and below the ridge section that forms the flow path. This makes it easy to manufacture the spill-stopping member, reduces weight, and allows for the release of an appropriate amount of liquid (hot water) even when the amount of liquid inside the container decreases, due to the flow of liquid into the gap between the flow path through the small perforations.

[0010] Furthermore, the present invention relates to claim 3 of the present invention. The resin drip pot has a protruding spout on the container body. A locking recess is formed on the upper end surface of the outflow prevention member, and a locking projection is provided at a location corresponding to the locking recess on the outflow prevention member. The outflow prevention member is attached by fitting the locking projection into the locking recess, allowing for quick and accurate attachment and detachment of the outflow prevention member.

[0011] Furthermore, the present invention relates to claim 4 of the present invention. Resin drip pots are In particular the inner circumferential surface of the container and Spout protrusion A mounting step is provided at the boundary with the internal space, and when the outflow prevention member is installed, the side plate part Rear end surfaceAn outflow prevention member is formed so as to abut against the mounting step, and the attachment / detachment operation of the outflow prevention member can be quickly performed at an accurate position, and leakage of liquid from the gap between the side plate portion of the outflow prevention member and the lateral inner wall surface of the internal space into the flow path is prevented.

[0012] Also, according to claim 5 of the present invention Resin drip pot is formed particularly at the end of the spout However, the uppermost part of the front wall surface is curved, and it is equipped with a hanging opening formed at a position lower than the uppermost part. to prevent liquid dripping at the end of the discharge.

Advantages of the Invention

[0013] With the configuration of the present invention as described above, by attaching an outflow prevention member to the spout protrusion of the resin container body, it is possible to provide a pot for coffee dripping that has a gooseneck-shaped spout of a metal drip pot even for a resin container that can be heated in a range.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0015] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. The resin drip pot shown in the embodiment is formed of a container body 1 and a stopper body 2, both of which are formed of a heat-resistant resin.

[0016] The container body 1 has a handle 12 attached to the outer surface of a container portion 11 having an appropriate capacity, and a spout protrusion 13 provided on the side opposite to the side where the handle 12 is provided.

[0017] The pouring spout protrusion 13 is formed by protruding the container side wall from the bottom to the upper edge of the container part 11 outward to form a predetermined internal space A. That is, the internal space A has a substantially inverted triangular pyramid shape and is composed of a lateral inner wall surface 14 continuous with the container side wall and a front wall surface 15 corresponding to the corner edge of the triangular pyramid. In particular, the lower part of the front wall surface 15 protrudes in an R shape.

[0018] Also, at the protruding tip of the triangular opening 16 above the internal space A, a pouring spout end 17 is formed. The pouring spout end 17 is formed in a nozzle shape, and in particular, the shape of the uppermost position part of the front wall surface 15 is in an R shape, and the tip is formed into a drip opening 17a located below the uppermost position.

[0019] Furthermore, a mounting step 19 is provided at the boundary between the inner peripheral surface of the container part 11 and the pouring spout protrusion 13 so that the inner peripheral surface of the container part and the protruding lateral wall surface 14 of the internal space A are continuous through the mounting step 19. Also, a locking recess 18 is formed at the side edge of the triangular opening 16 (the upper edge of the lateral inner wall surface 14).

[0020] The outflow prevention member 2 is formed as a hollow triangular pyramid with a rear opening to be mounted in the internal space A. It is composed of a side plate portion 21 that closely adheres to the lateral inner wall surface 14 in the internal space A during mounting, a peak portion 22 that forms a flow path (gap) B from the bottom of the container part 11 to the pouring spout end 17 between the peak portion 22 and the front wall surface 15 of the internal space A, and an upper plate 23 having a shape that fits into the triangular opening 16.

[0021] In particular, small through holes 24 penetrating the front and back of the peak portion 22 at appropriate vertical intervals are provided in the peak portion 22, locking protrusions 25 corresponding to the locking recesses 18 are provided on the upper plate 23, the rear part of the side plate portion 21 is a minute protruding surface 21a, and a reinforcing surface portion 21b is provided on the inner surface.

[0022] Then, the outflow prevention member 2 is inserted into the internal space A of the spout projection 13, and the locking recess 18 and the locking projection 25 are fitted and locked together, and the rear end surface 21c of the side plate portion 21 is brought into contact with the mounting step 19, thereby firmly attaching the outflow prevention member 2 to the internal space A.

[0023] By installing the spill-blocking member 2 into the internal space A, the lateral inner wall surface 14 of the spout projection 13 and the side plate portion 21 of the spill-blocking member 2 come into close contact, and the triangular opening 16 is sealed except for the spout end portion 17, forming a flow path (gap) B between the front wall surface 15 and the ridge portion 22.

[0024] Therefore, when the handle 12 is grasped and the container body 1 is tilted toward the spout projection 13, the liquid (hot water) inside the container section 11 will be poured from the bottom of the container section 11 through the flow path B into a designated container (such as a filter containing coffee powder).

[0025] In particular, since the aforementioned flow path B has a shape similar to a long, slender, crane-necked pipe, the discharge of liquid from the container body 1 becomes a long, slender, and straight flow, enabling optimal discharge for dripping.

[0026] Furthermore, by providing a minute protruding surface 21a on the side plate portion 21 of the spill-blocking member, a tight seal with the lateral inner wall surface 14 is ensured, and by providing a reinforcing surface portion 21b, the tight seal with the lateral inner wall surface 14 is maintained even when exposed to hot water, preventing liquid from inside the container portion 11 from leaking into the flow path B through the gap between the lateral inner wall surface 14 and the side plate portion 21.
