Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a tea strainer used for brewing hot water, black tea, etc. at a coffee shop or at home.

Many conventionally used tea strainers have an integrated support frame and handle, and when cleaning the tea strainer itself, especially when removing dirt from the outer surface of the cylindrical body made of glass, etc., it is necessary to combine the support frame and handle. Since the cylindrical body cannot be removed, it is difficult to completely remove dirt from the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body, and dirt remains in the area where the supporting frame and the cylindrical body are in close contact, which poses a problem in terms of hygiene and aesthetics. was.

In addition, since the frame piece of the lid body that fits into the cylinder of a conventional tea strainer was simply circular, it rotates freely at the mouth of the cylinder, and the notch of the frame piece and the outlet are connected to the pouring hole. It was necessary to rotate the tea strainers each time to make them match, and if they were not made to match, there was an inconvenience that the hot water could not flow out smoothly from the tea strainer.

This invention eliminates these drawbacks, and by making the support frame and handle removable,
The supporting frame can be removed from the cylinder to facilitate cleaning of the outer periphery of the cylinder, and the frame piece of the lid body is provided with a flange that engages with the spout of the cylinder to make it impossible to rotate the frame piece. To provide a tea strainer of practical value, which allows hot water, black tea, etc. to be smoothly poured into a tea arm, etc. by tightening the hot water outlet to fix the hot water outlet to the spout of the cylindrical body.

That is, in the present invention, the cylinder body 1 is removably fitted into a substantially cylindrical support frame 2 which has horizontal support parts above and below a vertical support part, and the upper horizontal support part is cut out and both ends are formed into an L shape. Engagement pieces 3 which are bent into a letter shape and formed to protrude are provided facing each other, and a cylindrical engagement part 6 provided at the upper end of the handle 5 is removably engaged so as to sandwich the engagement pieces 3. A locking hole is made by cutting out the upper surface of the engaging part 6 in a square shape, and the claw part 15 at the lower end of the gate-shaped locking piece 11, which is removably clamped on the engaging part 6, is engaged with the engaging part 6. At the same time, the protruding piece 12 protruding downward from the inner upper part of the gate-shaped locking piece 11 is inserted into the locking hole of the engaging part 6 to engage with the engaging piece 3, and is attached to the lower horizontal support part. A hook-shaped engaging portion 7 provided at the lower end of the handle 5 is removably engaged with the U-shaped engaging piece 4 that protrudes, and a frame piece 9 provided below the lid body 14 is attached to the cylindrical body 1. The spout 13 is removably fitted into the spout 13, and the flange 10 formed at the notched end of the frame piece 9 is engaged with the pouring spout 8.

The structure of the present invention will be explained in detail based on an embodiment of the drawings.As shown in FIG. 1, a support frame 2 is fitted into a cylinder 1 made of glass, ceramics, etc. Since the cylindrical engaging part 6 provided at the upper end of the handle 5 is removably fitted so as to sandwich the engaging piece 3 formed protruding from both notched ends of the support part, the engaging part 6 is When fitted into the engagement piece 3, the horizontal support part clamps the cylinder body 1 to prevent it from coming out carelessly, and also prevents the engagement part 6 from coming out from the engagement piece 3.
When removed, the cylindrical body 1 can be easily pulled out by expanding the horizontal support part from the notch part, and furthermore, the gate-shaped locking piece 11 can be clamped onto the engaging part 6 fitted into the engaging piece 3. , the claw part 15 at the lower end of the gate-shaped locking piece 11 is connected to the engaging part 6
At the same time, the projecting piece 12 provided on the gate-shaped locking piece 11 is fitted into the square-shaped locking hole on the upper surface of the engaging part 6 to engage with the engaging piece 3. The engaging piece 3 and the engaging part 6 can be securely fixed, and the engaging piece 4 provided at the lower horizontal support part of the support frame 2 has a hook-shaped engaging part 7 provided at the lower end of the handle 5. An engaging portion 6 provided at the upper and lower ends of the handle 5
By fitting the handle 5 into the engaging piece 3, the handle 5 will not come off vertically, and the protruding piece 12 of the gate-shaped locking piece 11 will engage with the square-shaped locking hole of the engaging part 6. Since the handle 5 is engaged with the engaging piece 3 at the same time and the engaging part 7 is engaged with the lower engaging piece 4, the handle 5 does not come off from the engaging pieces 3 and 4, and the support frame 2 and the handle 5 are connected. can be securely fixed and used safely.

A lid 14 having a frame piece 9 below is fitted into the opening 13 of the cylinder 1 according to the present invention, and a notch on both sides of the frame piece 9 is fitted with the spout 8 of the cylinder 1. Tsuba 1
0 is set.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, when cleaning the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body 1 in particular, as shown in FIG. Then, the L-shaped engagement piece 3 and the engagement part 6 are disengaged, and finally the hook-shaped engagement part 7 provided below the handle 5 and the U-shaped engagement part provided below the support frame 2 are disengaged. Piece 4
The support frame 2 and the handle 5 may be separated from each other by disengaging the support frame 2 from the handle 5.

Since the cylindrical body 1 can be easily removed by slightly opening the L-shaped engagement pieces 3 from both sides, it becomes possible to completely wipe off dirt on the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 1. After cleaning, the support frame 2 may be refitted onto the cylindrical body 1, and the handle 5 may be attached and used in the reverse manner.

Furthermore, the present invention provides flanges 10 on both sides of the notch of the frame piece 9 provided below the lid body 14 as described above,
Since the flange 10 is engaged with the pouring spout 8 of the cylinder 1, the frame piece 9 is fixed without rotating around the mouth 13 of the cylinder 1, so hot water, black tea, etc. are not poured when pouring hot water. It will always pour smoothly into the container.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is now possible to clean the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical body, which could not be completely cleaned in the past, making it possible to preserve the cylindrical body more hygienically and beautifully, thereby increasing the practical value of the tea strainer. In addition, it has practical effects such as being able to always smoothly pour hot water, black tea, etc. into the container from the outlet.
