Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a container for heating or cooling a drinking liquid such as alcoholic beverage, fruit juice, or coffee.

[Conventional technology and problems]

In recent years, containers that automatically heat sake have become commercially available, utilizing the principle that quicklime generates heat when it reacts with water. This type of container has a small inner container made of a metal material such as aluminum with good thermal conductivity that is fitted watertight inside the main container with an openable lid at the top opening. A predetermined volume space for filling a drinking liquid is formed between the inner container and the inner container, and a water container is fitted into the inner container, and the upper and lower sides of the water container are filled with quicklime that reacts with water. A layer is provided, and a through hole is provided in the center of the bottom lid of the main body container, which is closed with a sealing member, and a through hole is inserted from the outside into the through hole and is inserted into the bottom wall and the top wall of the water container. It consists of a piercing rod that pierces and opens the main container, and a protective lid that is detachable from the bottom of the main container.

Next, to explain the method for warming sake, first remove the protective lid, then turn the main container upside down, insert a piercing rod into the through hole, and pierce the bottom and top walls of the water container to open it. Afterwards, the piercing rod is removed, and the protective lid is placed again, and the main container is returned to its normal position. In this state, water gradually flows out from the bottom wall of the water container, and this water reacts with quicklime and generates heat.
The liquor to be filled into the main container via the inner container is heated. Once the sake has been heated to the appropriate temperature, the lid of the main container (partially or fully open) is opened and drunk.

Such conventional containers have the following problems.

(a) Since the top and bottom of the water container are filled with quicklime, an exothermic reaction will begin as soon as the piercing rod penetrates, and if a protective cover is not placed immediately after the piercing rod is removed,
If the water and quicklime react violently, steam may escape from the holes and cause burns.

(b) Since a piercing rod is required, the operation is complicated and the number of parts increases, and since the piercing rod is incorporated into the main container, it is subject to the limitations of automatic machines, which hinders productivity. Come.

(c) Because the bottom cover has a through hole for insertion of a piercing rod, it cannot be used as a cooling container using ammonium nitrate, etc.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed in view of the above circumstances, and it solves the problems of the conventional technology by simple and rational means, and allows the water container to be opened by one-touch pressing of the bottom cover, thereby eliminating the need for unnecessary parts. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a container that is easy to handle by eliminating the need for the incorporation of a container, and which is also adaptable to heating and cooling drinking liquids.

[Structure of the idea]

The structure of the present invention that solves the problems of the conventional technology is as follows:
A small inner container made of a material with good thermal conductivity is fitted watertight inside the main container with an openable lid at the top opening, and the drinking liquid is placed between the main container and the inner container. A water container with an open bottom wall is fitted above the interior of the inner container to form a predetermined volume space for filling, and an exothermic agent that reacts with water on the underside of the water container, or In a container provided with a packed layer of an endothermic agent and further provided with a means for opening the bottom wall of the water container, the water container is supported on a pedestal fitted in the inner container, and the pedestal and the water container are connected to each other. Attach one end of the tape for opening the bottom wall to the bottom wall between the bottom wall and the extended end of the tape to the other side of the mount through the end surface of the mount and the bottom end of the mount. The upper end of the working member, which is installed on the inner surface of the press-deformable bottom cover fitted to the lower part of the inner container, is attached to the lower surface of the middle of the tape, which is fixed to the lower end of the pedestal and stretched between the lower ends of the pedestal as a bridge. It is characterized by the presence of
