Definitions
- the invention relates to an infusion bag for brewing tea or tea-like substances with a liquid-permeable casing which contains the tea or tea-like substances, and a holding strip arranged on the casing.
- infusion bags which consist of a bag-like envelope and a thread attached to its top. They are placed directly in a vessel with a hot liquid and removed after a brewing time by means of the thread.
- the disadvantage is, inter alia, that the thread easily falls into the liquid.
- Another disadvantage is that the infusion bag can not be pressed or only with the help of a spoon or the like.
- infusion bags which correspond to the genus of this invention, therefore have no thread. They are instead provided with a strip of cardboard, which serves as a holding strip and through which the infusion bag can be hung on the edge of a vessel and stored in the hot liquid. If an infusion beverage, such as tea, is ordered in a restaurant, the customer receives a cup, a cup, a jug or a glass of hot water into which an infusion bag with tea or tea-like substances is immersed or into which an attached infusion bag can be dipped. In order for the tea to develop its optimal taste, the infusion bag must be removed after a certain time and placed on a provided plate.
- US Pat. Nos. 4,875,574 and 4,726,956 propose enlarged cardboard strips which enclose the tea-containing casing and thus make it possible to extrude without the hot casing itself having to be touched.
- takeaway drinks are bought in a disposable cup and taken for drinking. If this is still easily possible with coffee, for example, the problem with tea beverages for takeaway is how to remove and squeeze the liquid brew bag.
- the object of the invention is therefore, an infusion bag for brewing tea or tea-like substances with a liquid-permeable envelope containing the tea or tea-like substances, and arranged on the envelope holding strip, which serves to wrap the envelope into a container filled with liquid mount, which is suitable for Takeaway drinks or the like, without the need for a special external device is required.
- a traction device is attached to the enclosure to pull up the enclosure and squeeze out.
- the infusion bag itself can advantageously remain hooked to the vessel.
- the retaining strip extends approximately to the lower edge and about to both lateral edges of the envelope to squeeze the wrapper by pressure on the retaining strip can. If, after removing the infusion bag from a container of the holding strips squeezed at its side edges, then so that the wrapper with the tea or tea-like substances is squeezed out. In this way, residual liquid comes out of the infusion bag and is used. A trickling of the infusion bag is also prevented.
- the cardboard strip is also inexpensive to produce and can be printed with a label or other information.
- the retaining strip and the cover are connected together at their respective upper ends in order to hang the infusion bag in a vessel can.
- an opening for passing the thread is provided on the retaining strip.
- the opening forms a guide for the thread, which can thereby be pulled away from the vessel in approximately radial direction.
- the opening has a notch for clamping the thread to clamp the drawn up through the opening raised thread. This allows the wrapper to be kept in a position outside of the liquid.
- the thread is attached to the lower edge of the wrap to allow it to be pulled up.
- the thread is slightly above the lower edge on the side of the envelope, which faces away from the retaining strip attached. As a result, the envelope rolls up and is pressed out more effectively.
- a holding plate is provided. Through the holding plate, the thread can be gripped safely.
- the retainer tab By having the retainer tab adhesive, the retainer tab can be releasably secured to the retention tab or wrapping of the infusion bag. It does not depend on the retaining strip or on the wrapping of the infusion bag.
- the compression of the retaining strip and the resulting extrusion of the envelope are facilitated by at least two, preferably three vertically extending folds are provided for the retaining strip.
- the retaining strip receives a convex curvature when pressed and thus adapts to the usually curved wall of vessels.
- the envelope has in its upper region a capillary brake, in particular a weld, which prevents the rising of liquid. In this way it is avoided that liquid reaches the upper edge of the vessel via the covering, runs off on the outer vessel wall and leads to contamination.
- the infusion bag according to the invention is particularly suitable for a drink to take away.
- the drink is usually filled in a disposable cup, for example made of cardboard or Styrofoam and closed with a plastic lid, which may have a drinking opening. With the lid, the drink can not be spilled so easily and it keeps you warm longer.
- the infusion bag is hung in such a disposable cup, then hot water is poured into the cup and then sealed with a suitable cap.
- the holding strip on the outer wall of the cup and the wrapping with the tea or tea-like substances are arranged inside the cup.
- the holding plate is loosened and the thread is pulled out.
- the envelope inside the cup is pulled up out of the liquid and at the same time pressed out.
- the thread is clamped in the notch and fixed so that the sheath remains outside the liquid surface.
- the infusion bag according to the invention is furthermore particularly suitable for teapots. Teapots are often used in restaurants or hotels. In this use, the infusion bag is hung in the teapot with the holding strip on the outside wall and the wrapper with tea or tea-like substances inside the teapot. After hanging water is entered and the teapot is closed with the associated lid. After the brewing time is the holding plate dissolved and thus pulled out the thread. As a result, the envelope inside the teapot is pulled upward out of the liquid and at the same time pressed out. The thread is clamped in the notch and fixed so that the sheath remains outside the liquid surface.
- the infusion bag according to the invention is also particularly suitable for cups and cups made of porcelain or ceramic. Frequently such vessels are used for serving. For this use, the infusion bag is hung in the vessel made of porcelain or ceramic and then filled with hot water into the vessel. Here, the holding strip on the outer wall of the porcelain cup or glass beaker and the wrapper with the tea or the tea-like substances are arranged inside. After the brewing time, the holding strip is gripped and the infusion bag is removed from the porcelain cup or glass cup.
