Description

  The present invention relates to an effervescent beverage pouring tool attached to a beverage container that houses various effervescent beverages such as beer and sparkling liquor.

  Conventionally, when pouring beer from a metal can containing beer into a glass, etc., to prevent the carbon dioxide gas and umami components in the beer from escaping and to give a refreshing feeling when drinking, Foam is generated to the extent that it covers the top of the poured beer. However, when pouring beer from a can into a cup or the like, it is difficult to generate foam appropriately every time. Therefore, it is also possible to attach a pouring tool having a foam generating function to the opened can and generate foam appropriately when pouring beer from the can into a cup or the like.

  As such a pouring tool, the pouring tool for sparkling beverages shown in FIGS. 17 and 18 has been proposed. The pouring tool includes a circular main body 31 and an auxiliary nozzle 32 formed separately from the main body 31. The main body 31 has a fitting protrusion 33 that can be fitted to one end (end on the top plate side) of a metal container (not shown) for canned beer, and a flat portion 34. An introduction chamber 35 for introducing canned beer that has flowed out of the metal container is defined in the flat portion 34. Further, the main nozzle body 36 projects in an inclined manner with respect to the flat portion 34 on one end wall 35a of the introduction chamber 35, and the other end formed outside the one end wall 35a. An auxiliary nozzle mounting portion 37 having a smaller cross-sectional area than the main nozzle main body 36 is provided on the wall 35b so as to be inclined with respect to the flat portion 34. The auxiliary nozzle mounting portion 37 has a pair of left and right nozzle holes 32a. The formed auxiliary nozzle 32 is detachably fixed.

And in use, with the unsealed portion provided on the top plate of the metal container opened, the fitting protrusion 33 of the main body 31 is fitted to one end of the metal container, and the metal container is gradually tilted in that state. The beer in the metal container flows out from the opening formed by the opening, flows into the introduction chamber 35, passes through the introduction chamber 35, and then flows into the cup or the like as a thin auxiliary flow through the auxiliary nozzle 32. When the metal container is further tilted, the main nozzle body 36 is poured into a cup or the like as a thick main stream, and fine bubbles are generated in the cup or the like by the thin auxiliary flow (for example, Patent Documents). 1).

In this embodiment, the effervescent beverage pouring tool is made of a synthetic resin material (for example, LDPE [low density polyethylene]) and is integrally formed by a pair of upper and lower molding dies. By pulling the stion tab 24 of the opening portion 23 provided on the canopy 22 of the beverage container 21, the pour spout (opening portion) 22 a of the canopy 22 is opened to the one end portion 21 a (on the canopy 22 side) of the can 21. It is detachably fixed (see FIG. 13). Further, the shape of the sparkling beverage pouring tool is such that when the beer (sparkling beverage) accommodated in the can 21 is poured into a cup (both not shown) (that is, a main spout 16 described later is positioned on the lower side). (See FIG. 14), it is formed to be symmetrical (see FIGS. 10 to 12).

  In these drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a mounting portion formed in a cylindrical cylindrical shape. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 9, a top plate 11 formed in a circular flat plate shape and an outer peripheral edge portion of the top plate 11. It consists of a cylindrical peripheral side wall 12 depending from. The top plate 11 has its one side portion (the lower portion when beer is poured) and the central portion following this, that is, the portion corresponding to the spout 22a of the canopy 22 of the can 21. A through-hole (beverage guide port) 11a for guiding the beer flowing out from the spout 22a to the tube portion 2 for pouring described later is formed (see FIGS. 7 and 8). This through-hole 11a is formed in a substantially V-shape whose outer side surface (the side surface that is the lower side when beer is poured) expands toward the inner side (the upper side when beer is poured). (At the time of pouring beer, the center and upper side surfaces) are formed in a substantially semicircular arc shape.

  The peripheral side wall 12 has an engagement portion (annular recess in this embodiment) 12a (see FIGS. 8 and 9) that is detachably fitted to the outer peripheral portion of the one end portion 21a of the can 21 on the inner peripheral portion thereof. ) Is formed. Further, the peripheral side wall 12 is provided with a flat plate-like gripping portion 13 projecting from a part of the lower end portion of the outer peripheral surface (in this embodiment, the upper end portion when beer is poured).

  Reference numeral 2 denotes a pouring cylinder portion (a lenticular tubular portion) formed in a celestial tubular shape, and is erected from the peripheral edge portion of the through hole 11 a of the top plate 11. The extraction cylinder 2 includes a cylindrical peripheral side wall 14 erected vertically from the peripheral edge of the through hole 11a of the top plate 11 and a ceiling plate (top) that closes the upper surface opening of the peripheral side wall 14. Plate) 15.

  The ceiling plate 15 is formed in a shape corresponding to the through hole 11a in a plan view, and has a substantially isosceles triangular outer horizontal portion 15a disposed in parallel to the top plate 11, and an outer side thereof. A substantially semicircular inner inclined portion 15b that inclines downwardly with respect to the top plate 11 from the inner edge (the base of the approximately isosceles triangle) of the horizontal portion 15a. Further, a main islet 16 having an approximately isosceles triangle shape is formed in the outer horizontal portion 15a so as to extend along the peripheral side wall 14. The inner inclined portion 15b has its own opening area. Two round hole-shaped auxiliary outlets 17 smaller than the opening area of the outlet 16 are formed. The positions of both auxiliary spouts 17 are set almost directly above the left and right end portions of the main spout 16 when beer is poured out.

  Reference numeral 3 denotes a strip-shaped partition plate formed in a substantially U shape, and is suspended downward from the back surface of the top plate 11 of the mounting portion 1. The strip-shaped partition plate 3 is disposed along the peripheral edge portion of the through hole 11a of the top plate 11 with its substantially U-shaped opening directed inward. And in the state which fixed the said attachment part 1 to the one end part 21a of the can 21, the bottom face of the said strip | belt-shaped partition plate 3 contact | abuts the upper surface of the canopy 22 of the can 21, and the spout 22a of the can 21 is poured out at the time of beer extraction. This prevents beer flowing out from the water from flowing down.

  In the above configuration, when pouring the beer contained in the can 21 into the cup, first, the spout 22a is opened by pulling the stion tab 24 of the canopy 22 of the can 21, and then the can 21 (on the canopy 22 side). The mounting portion 1 of the sparkling beverage pouring tool is attached to the one end portion 21a by positioning the through hole 11a of the top plate 11 at a position corresponding to the spout 22a (see FIG. 13), and the spout in that state The can 21 is gradually tilted with 22a on the lower side (see FIG. 14). As a result, the beer in the can 21 flows out from the spout 22a, flows into the pouring cylinder part 2 from the through hole 11a of the top plate 11, passes through the pouring pipe part 2, and then the main note. It is poured into the cup from the outlet 16 and both auxiliary outlets 17 (see arrows in FIG. 14).

  At this time, the beer that has passed through the pipe portion 2 for pouring first flows out as a thick liquid flow from the main pouring port 16 located on the lower side of the auxiliary pouring ports 17. By the beer poured from the main pouring outlet 16, bubbles are hardly generated in the cup. Further, carbon dioxide gas and air accumulated in the can 21 are discharged from the auxiliary outlets 17. Next, when the can 21 is further tilted, the beer that has passed through the dispensing cylinder 2 flows out from both the auxiliary pouring outlets 17 as a thin liquid flow. This thin liquid flow flows down through the ceiling plate 15 of the pipe portion 2 for pouring and merges with the thick liquid flow from the main pouring port 16, or jumps out from both auxiliary pouring ports 17 and moves from the main pouring port 16. The liquid is poured into the cup while merging with a thick liquid flow to generate fine bubbles. Or the said thin liquid flow jumps out vigorously from both the auxiliary spouts 17, flows down into the cup alone, and taps the liquid surface of the beer accumulated in the cup, thereby generating fine bubbles.

Thus, in the said embodiment, the said effervescent drinks dispensing tool is the attachment part 1 with a ceiling tube shape, the through-hole 11a formed in the top plate 11 of this attachment part 1, and this through-hole 11a . It has a simple structure in which a main cylinder outlet 16 and two auxiliary outlets 17 are formed on the ceiling plate 15 of the cylinder section 2 for extraction. Therefore, the structure of the mold is simplified correspondingly, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. Moreover, the sparkling beverage pouring tool is composed of only one part, has a small number of parts, and facilitates management such as inventory management.
