Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明はマドラー、特に持ち帰り用の飲用容器と共に使用するに適したマドラーに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
持ち帰り用の飲用容器としては、使い捨てのコップに使い捨ての蓋をしたものが一般的である。このような蓋をした容器から飲料を飲もうとすると、蓋を取らなければならないが、片手だけしか使えない状況にある場合は極めて不便である。また、車内で移動中に飲む場合などには車の揺れによってこぼれるなどの問題があった。
【0003】
これに対して、蓋の一部に開口を設けて飲み口を作り、蓋した状態で該開口から直接又はストローを介して飲むようにした蓋が提案されている(例えば、実開昭63−192265号公報等)。これらの蓋に開口された飲み口は、通常開口されている状態のままであり、密封されていない。従って、コップが転倒した場合等に内溶液がこぼれ出すことは避けられない。また、密封手段を有していないので、例えば飲用を途中で中断する場合等、開口を封鎖しておくことができない欠点がある。
【0004】
一方、コーヒー、紅茶等においては、砂糖やミルクを入れた場合、これを撹拌するためにマドラーが使われるが、持ち帰り用のコップ飲料の場合はコップと別体の付属品として一般に供給される。従来のこの種マドラーは、柄であるスティック先端に小さな撹拌部を形成したプラスチック製のものが多用されているが、これらのものは撹拌用としての機能を有するのみであり、使用後は、置場所に困ることも多く、そのまま捨てられていた。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記のように従来の飲み口が開口されている蓋付のコップは開口が開いたままの状態であるので、開口が小さいとは言え、振動や転倒した場合内溶液が漏れ出すばかりでなく、ゴミや埃の侵入又は内溶液が外気に直接触れる等の問題点がある。そのため、少なくとも例えば店から購入して持ち帰る途中や、途中で飲用を一時的に中断する等の場合、開口が密封できるようにするのが望ましい。しかしながら、蓋に飲み口である開口を密封する手段を設けるとそれだけコスト高になり、使い捨てのコップに採用するのはコスト的に困難である。一方、従来の使い捨てマドラーは、コップ入り飲料と別体に付属品として供給されるが、小さいため持ち運ぶ途中で落したり、また、一度使用したものを清潔な状態で保管するのは面倒であり、置場所に困り通常最初の使用後にそのまま破棄している。そのため、飲用途中で、あるいは飲用中断後再度飲用する時等で、再び使用するには不便であった。
【0006】
本発明は、上記問題点を一挙に解決できるマドラーを提供しようとするもので、使い捨てのマドラーが単に撹拌機能ばかりでなく、コップ蓋の飲み口をシールする機能も備えて、非常に安価に上記問題点を解決することができるマドラーを提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記問題点を解決する本発明のマドラーは、蓋の一部に開口を設けて、この開口から飲料を飲むようにしたコップと共に使用されるマドラーであって、該マドラーの一部に上記蓋の開口に嵌合して該開口を密閉する開口密閉部を設けたことを特徴とするものである。より具体的には、前記開口密閉部は、蓋の開口上端に係合する鍔およびそれに続いて開口とほぼ同じ断面を有する嵌合部からなるものである。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図面を参照して具体的に説明する。
本実施形態のマドラーは、図1に正面図(a)、側面図(b)、平面図(c)を示すように、先端に撹拌部2を有する本体1の他端は把持部3となっており、これに続いて鍔部4、嵌合部5が形成されている。嵌合部5は、蓋の飲み口開口部に密嵌合するように開口部の形状に合わせた断面形状に形成され、本実施形態では図示のように略断面楕円状に形成されている。そして、飲み口に係合する場合、飲み口に挿入し易く且つ密嵌合するように、下方から次第にその断面積か大きくなるように外周部がテーパー状となっている。また、上記顎部は、前記嵌合部5の上端縁から外部にフランジ状に形成され、飲み口を蓋ってその外周面と接触できるようになって、マドラーがコップ内に落ちないように係止する機能と共に、開口部を密封する機能とを果たすようになっている。なお、撹拌部2は、蓋の飲み口を自由に通過できる大きさに形成されている。
【0009】
本実施形態では、前記鍔部4と嵌合部5とで飲み口を密封する開口密封部を構成しているが、開口の密封機能は、必ずしも両方で果たす必要はなく、前記顎部のみで、又は嵌合部のみで果たすように構成しても良い。
【0010】
図2はその使用状態を示し、コーヒー、紅茶などの飲料6を入れたコップ7は蓋体8によって蓋をされる。この蓋体8には開口9が設けられ、この開口9は内容物である飲料を飲むときは、蓋をしたまま飲むことが出来る飲み口となる。携帯時、あるいは飲むのを途中で止めた場合は、図に示すようにこの開口9に本発明のマドラー1を挿入嵌合する。これにより、開口9は鍔部4により覆われて密閉され、嵌合部4が開口9に嵌合するためにみだりに抜けることがない。
【0011】
従って、店で飲料入り容器を提供する場合、開口部に本実施形態のマドラーを差し込んだ状態で提供すれば、購入者は飲料するまでコップを密封状態に保つことができ、持ち運びにも便利であり、マドラーをもらい忘れたり、途中で落すこともなく取扱が容易である。そして、飲料に際しては、蓋8を外して必要に応じて砂糖、ミルクなどを入れた後、マドラー1で撹拌し、再び蓋8をして開口9から飲むことが出来る。飲むのを中止したときは、開口9にマドラーを挿入すれば、鍔部4と嵌合部5によって再びしっかりと密封されるので、コップの動揺や転倒によって飲料が漏れる心配がなく、安心して持ち運びあるいは車中に置くことが出来、また、使用済みのマドラーの置場に困ることもない。
【0012】
【発明の効果】
本発明のマドラーは、上記のようにマドラーとしてのみならず、飲料容器の密閉器具としても機能を果たすことができ、しかも簡単な構成で、通常のマドラーと同程度のコストで提供することが出来て、従来の飲み捨てコップ飲料の問題点を一挙に解決することができる優れた実用性を有する発明である。

[Industrial application fields]
The present invention relates to a mudler, particularly a mudler suitable for use with a takeaway drinking container.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a take-out drinking container, a disposable cup with a disposable lid is generally used. If you want to drink a beverage from a container with such a lid, you must remove the lid, but it is extremely inconvenient if you can use only one hand. In addition, there are problems such as spilling due to the shaking of the car when drinking while moving in the car.
[0003]
On the other hand, a lid has been proposed in which an opening is provided in a part of the lid so that a drinking mouth is formed, and the lid is made to drink directly from the opening or through a straw (for example, Japanese Utility Model Sho 63- 192265 publication). The mouthpieces opened in these lids usually remain open and are not sealed. Therefore, it is inevitable that the internal solution spills out when the cup falls. Moreover, since it does not have a sealing means, there exists a fault which cannot block an opening, for example, when stopping drinking on the way, for example.
[0004]
On the other hand, in the case of coffee, tea, etc., when sugar or milk is added, a mudler is used to agitate it. In the case of a take-away cup drink, it is generally supplied as a separate accessory from the cup. Conventionally, this type of mudler is often made of plastic with a small stirring part formed at the tip of the stick, which is a handle, but these only have a function for stirring. There were many troubles with the place and it was thrown away.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As mentioned above, since the cup with a lid with a conventional drinking mouth opened is in an open state, the opening is small, but not only the internal solution leaks out when it vibrates or falls, There are problems such as invasion of dust and dirt or direct contact of the internal solution with the outside air. Therefore, it is desirable to be able to seal the opening at least when, for example, purchasing from a store and taking it home, or when drinking is temporarily interrupted. However, if the lid is provided with a means for sealing the opening serving as a drinking mouth, the cost increases accordingly, and it is difficult to adopt in a disposable cup. On the other hand, the conventional disposable mudler is supplied as an accessory separately from the drink with a cup, but it is too small to drop in the middle of carrying it because it is small, and it is troublesome to store what has been used once in a clean state, Usually, it is discarded after the first use. Therefore, it is inconvenient to use again during drinking or when drinking again after stopping drinking.
[0006]
The present invention is intended to provide a mudler that can solve the above problems all at once, and the disposable mudler not only has a stirring function, but also has a function of sealing the drinking mouth of the cup lid, and is very inexpensive. It aims to provide a muddler that can solve the problem.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A mudler according to the present invention that solves the above-mentioned problems is a mudler used with a cup that is provided with an opening in a part of a lid and drinks from the opening. An opening sealing portion is provided that fits into the opening and seals the opening. More specifically, the opening sealing portion includes a hook engaging with the upper end of the opening of the lid, and subsequently a fitting portion having substantially the same cross section as the opening.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, specific description will be given with reference to the drawings.
In the mudler of this embodiment, as shown in a front view (a), a side view (b), and a plan view (c) in FIG. Following this, the flange portion 4 and the fitting portion 5 are formed. The fitting portion 5 is formed in a cross-sectional shape that matches the shape of the opening so as to be closely fitted in the drinking mouth opening of the lid, and in the present embodiment, is formed in a substantially cross-sectional ellipse shape as illustrated. And when engaging with a drinking mouth, an outer peripheral part is a taper shape so that the cross-sectional area may become large gradually from the bottom so that it may be easy to insert in a drinking mouth and closely fit. Further, the jaw portion is formed in a flange shape to the outside from the upper end edge of the fitting portion 5 so as to cover the drinking mouth and come into contact with the outer peripheral surface thereof, so that the mudler does not fall into the cup. In addition to the locking function, the opening is sealed. In addition, the stirring part 2 is formed in the magnitude | size which can pass freely through the drinking mouth of a lid | cover.
[0009]
In this embodiment, the heel part 4 and the fitting part 5 constitute an opening sealing part that seals the drinking mouth, but the sealing function of the opening does not necessarily have to be fulfilled by both, only the jaw part. Or you may comprise so that it may fulfill | perform only by a fitting part.
[0010]
FIG. 2 shows the state of use, and a cup 7 containing a beverage 6 such as coffee or tea is covered with a lid 8. The lid body 8 is provided with an opening 9, and this opening 9 serves as a drinking mouth that can be drunk with the lid on when the beverage as the contents is to be drunk. When carrying or when stopping drinking, the mudler 1 of the present invention is inserted and fitted into the opening 9 as shown in the figure. Thereby, the opening 9 is covered and sealed with the flange portion 4, and the fitting portion 4 is fitted into the opening 9, so that the opening 9 does not come off.
[0011]
Therefore, when a beverage container is provided in a store, if the mudler of this embodiment is inserted into the opening, the purchaser can keep the cup sealed until it is beveraged, which is convenient for carrying around. Yes, it is easy to handle without forgetting the mudler or dropping it on the way. In the case of beverages, the lid 8 can be removed and sugar, milk or the like can be added as necessary, and then stirred by the mudler 1 and then the lid 8 can be put again to drink from the opening 9. When you stop drinking, if you insert a mudler into the opening 9, it will be tightly sealed again by the collar 4 and the fitting part 5, so there is no risk of the beverage leaking due to shaking or falling of the cup. Or you can place it in the car, and you won't have to worry about where the used Madler is.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
The mudler of the present invention can function not only as a mudler as described above, but also as a beverage container sealing device, and can be provided with a simple configuration at a cost comparable to that of an ordinary mudler. Thus, it is an invention having excellent practicality that can solve the problems of conventional drinking cup drinks at once.
