Description

  The present invention relates to a beverage container that can feed an infant even in an emergency such as a disaster.

  In the event of a disaster such as a major earthquake, it is extremely difficult for parents with infants to evacuate with baby bottles, powdered milk and hot water pots. Therefore, in evacuation destinations, there are many cases where it becomes difficult to breastfeed infants.

  As a technique capable of feeding an infant even during such a disaster, Patent Document 1 discloses a simple heating bottle for heating water and disposable baby bottles such as powdered milk and plastic bottles. The breastfeeding set in the set is shown. Furthermore, in Patent Document 1, such a breastfeeding set is sold at convenience stores, highway service areas, station stalls, department store nursing rooms, etc., and milk can be easily prepared and fed to infants on the go. A breastfeeding support system that can do this has also been proposed.

  In Patent Document 2, the container body is filled with water, the beverage base (for example, tea powder) is stored in the cap, the cap is operated during drinking to break the tea powder storage portion, and the beverage base is stored. A beverage container has been proposed in which a beverage is dropped into a container body to mix the beverage ingredients and water.

  According to the conventional technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is possible to easily prepare lactating milk on the go. Therefore, it can be used as an emergency baby bottle in the event of a disaster. However, since powdered milk is packed in stick packs, each part of the stick pack is cut and opened with fingers, and powdered milk is put into plastic bottles or drinking water is procured separately to make plastic bottles. The work to inject is required. In an inconvenient environment such as an evacuation center, it is expected that such work will not be performed smoothly, and further improvements are desired. In addition, in evacuation shelters and the like, there is often a lack of washing water or soap, so it is difficult to maintain fingers in a sanitary state. Using such fingers to cut off a portion of the stick pack to prepare milk for breastfeeding may cause bacteria to enter the breastfeeding milk, which may harm the health of infants with low resistance to bacteria. .

  In addition, the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 2 is to allow the taste of freshly brewed tea or the like to be tasted by mixing the element of a beverage such as tea powder with water at the time of drinking, It is not intended for the simple preparation of lactating milk. The amount of powdered milk that is required in preparing the nursing milk is much greater than the amount of tea powder that is used in making tea. Therefore, even if powdered milk is used instead of tea powder in the technique of Patent Document 2, the storage capacity is not sufficient, so that milk for feeding cannot be prepared.

  In addition, the cap body includes a pressing cap and a lid cap, and means for breaking the storage cylinder for storing the beverage base adds the pressing cap, the pressing rod, and the pressing rod provided on the pressing cap. It consists of protrusions for pressing. In addition, a means for preventing rotation is provided between the lid cap and the pressing cap. Therefore, the structure of the cap body is complicated, and it is expected that the cost will be too high to apply it to a disposable baby bottle, etc., and it is necessary to solve these problems in order to put it into practical use. I could not deny.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a beverage container having a simple configuration and capable of easily preparing a beverage such as hygienic milk for feeding.

The present invention comprises a bottle body in which drinking water is stored and having an opening,
A nipple member made of a soft elastic material and attached to the opening of the bottle body,
A bag member made of a flexible film and accommodated in the bottle body, wherein the opening of the bag member is joined to the opening of the bottle body in an open state, and is inside the opening of the bottle body. A bag member in which a fragile portion for breaking is formed in a region accommodated in the direction,
A drinking powder body contained in the bag member;
A protective cover made of a soft elastic material that is removably fixed to the opening of the bottle body so as to cover the nipple member;
A beverage container comprising a cap detachably attached to the opening of the bottle body so as to cover the protective cover.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that the drinking powder body is formed of a block-shaped molded body.
Further, the present invention is characterized in that the drinking powder body is made of a fluid powder.

In addition, the present invention is characterized in that the potable powder body is composed of a mixture of a block-shaped molded body and a fluidized granular material.
The present invention is characterized in that the drinkable powder body is powdered milk.

  According to the beverage container of the present invention, when the cap is removed and the nipple member is pressed together with the protective cover so as to be elastically deformed, the drinking powder body is pushed into the bottle body by receiving this pressing force. The bag member is broken from the fragile portion by the pressing pressure of the drinking powder body, the drinking powder body stored in the bag member falls, and falls into the drinking water stored in the bottle body. Since the bag member is formed with a fragile portion for facilitating breakage, the bag member is broken from the fragile portion by the pushing pressure, and the drinking powder can be reliably dropped into the drinking water.

  A beverage can be prepared by shaking the bottle body with the drinking powder body falling into the drinking water, mixing the drinking water and the drinking powder body, and dispersing the drinking powder body in the drinking water. At this time, the bottle body may be appropriately heated to warm the beverage.

  Since the beverage container of this invention is comprised in this way, drinks, such as milk for lactation, can be easily prepared also in the refuge at the time of a disaster, for example. And since the nipple member also serves as a means for dropping the drinkable powder into the bottle, the beverage container of the present invention can be constructed without greatly changing the structure of the existing beverage container, which increases the cost. There is no. Moreover, since it is practically compactly packed into one bottle body, it is excellent in storage and transportability, and in local governments, etc., many beverage containers can be stored for emergency use. It can be promptly provided to those who need it at times.

  In addition, when the drinking powder body is dropped into the drinking water, the protective cover is pressed with the finger, so that the drinking powder body can be dropped into the drinking water without the finger touching the nipple member directly. Therefore, since possibility that miscellaneous bacteria will adhere to a nipple member from a finger | toe can be reduced, a nipple member can be kept clean and a sanitary drink can be provided.

  Further, since the opening of the bag member is joined to the opening of the bottle body in an open state, the drinking powder body can be accommodated not only in the bag member but also in the nipple member, that is, many drinking powder bodies Can be accommodated. Therefore, it can be prepared even for beverages such as lactating milk that requires a large amount of powdered milk for adjustment.

  Moreover, according to this invention, since a drinking powder body consists of a block-shaped molded object, it is easy to obtain in a market and can be stably accommodated in a bag member. When the nipple member is pressed to drop the drinking powder into the bottle, the pressing pressure acts strongly on the bag member, and the bag member can be more reliably broken.

  Furthermore, according to the present invention, the potable powder body is made of a fluid powder and is easily available on the market. Further, since the accommodation amount can be easily adjusted, the accommodation amount of the drinking powder body can be easily adjusted to an appropriate accommodation amount for the bag member.

  Further, according to the present invention, since the drinking powder body is composed of a mixture of a block-shaped molded body and a fluidized powder body, the above characteristics of being a block-shaped molded body, and a fluidized powder particle The effect of synergizing the above characteristics of being a body is exhibited. In addition, when the necessary amount of the powder powder can not be obtained only with the block-shaped molded body, the necessary amount of the powder powder can be obtained by using an appropriate amount of the fluid powder particles together.

  Furthermore, according to the present invention, since the drinking powder body is powdered milk, hygienic feeding milk can be easily provided.

  The beverage container 1 in the present embodiment has a bottle body 2 in which drinking water w is stored and has an opening 3, a nipple member 4 made of a soft elastic material and attached to the opening 3 of the bottle body 2, A bag member 5 made of a flexible film and accommodated in the bottle body 2, wherein the opening 14 of the bag member 5 is joined to the opening 3 of the bottle body 2 in an open state, and the opening 3 of the bottle body 2. Of the bottle body 2 so as to cover the bag member 5 in which the fragile portion 16 for breaking is formed in the region accommodated more inward, the drinking powder body 6 accommodated in the bag member 5, and the nipple member 4. A protective cover 40 made of a soft elastic material is detachably attached to the opening 3, and a cap 7 is detachably attached to the opening 3 of the bottle body 2 so as to cover the protective cover 40.

  The drinking powder body 6 accommodated in the bag member 5 receives the pressing force when the cap 7 is removed and the nipple member 4 is pressed together with the protective cover 40 by the fingers f or the like to receive the pressing force. It is pushed inward. The bag member 5 is broken from the fragile portion 16 by the pressing pressure of the drinking powder body 6. In this way, the beverage container 1 is configured such that the drinking powder body 6 can fall into the drinking water w.

  Then, with the drinking powder body 6 falling in the drinking water w, the bottle body is shaken to mix the drinking water w and the drinking powder body 6, and the drinking powder body 6 is dispersed in the drinking water w. Can be prepared.

  Since the fragile portion 16 for facilitating breakage is formed in the bag member 5, the bag member 5 is broken from the fragile portion 16 by the pressing pressure, and the drinking powder body 6 is reliably placed in the drinking water w. Can be dropped.

  When the drinking powder body 6 is dropped onto the drinking water w in this manner, the protective cover 40 is pressed with fingers, so that the drinking powder body 6 is removed from the drinking water w without directly touching the nipple member 4 with the fingers f. Can be dropped.

  The beverage container 1 in this embodiment is a baby bottle, and the drinking powder body 6 is powdered milk. Hereinafter, the drinking powder body 6 may be referred to as powdered milk 6.

  The bottle body 2 is made of a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottle or an aluminum bottle, and the figure shows an example made of a PET bottle. A male screw portion 10 is formed on the outer peripheral portion of the opening 3 in the bottle body 2, and the nipple member 4 is opened by screwing the female screw portion 11 and the male screw portion 10 formed on the base portion of the nipple member 4. Part 3 is attached. The nipple member 4 is made into a hollow shape as shown in the figure using a soft elastic material such as a synthetic rubber such as silicone rubber or isobutylene rubber, or a natural rubber, and an antifouling treatment is applied to the inner and outer surfaces thereof.

  At the tip (upper end) of the nipple member 4, a small hole 12 for sucking and drinking that communicates with the inside and outside of the nipple member 4 is provided. The protective cover 40 is made of a soft elastic synthetic resin film. The inner and outer surfaces of the protective cover 40 are subjected to an antifouling treatment. It is fixed to one piece.

  The cap 7 is made of a synthetic resin molding. The cap 7 is attached by fitting to the outer peripheral portion of the portion of the protective cover 40 fixed to the base portion of the nipple member 4. As a result, the entire nipple member 4 and the protective cover 40 are covered with the cap 7.

  The cap 7 is detachably attached to the opening 3. In this attached state, the cap 7, the upper half of the nipple member 4 (upper part than the part where the female screw part 11 is formed) 13 and a protective cover are provided. A space 8 is secured between the cap 40 and the upper half 13 of the nipple member 4 is not pushed by the cap 7 via the protective cover 40 when the cap 7 is attached. Therefore, a stopper 9 having a diameter larger than that of the base portion (same as above) of the nipple member 4 is fixed to the lower end portion of the opening portion 3, and the lower end portion abuts against the stopper 9 when the cap 7 is attached. 7 is prevented from being pushed in excessively, and the space 8 is secured.

  The bag member 5 is formed, for example, by forming a multi-sheet in which aluminum vapor-deposited films are laminated in a resin film in two to four layers in a sandwich shape, and an antifouling treatment is applied to the inside and outside of the bag member 5. As this multi-sheet, what is generally used as a food packaging sheet can be used. The bag member 5 is inserted into the bottle body 2, and its opening 14 is welded to the opening edge 15 of the opening 3 of the bottle body 2, and is joined and supported by the opening 3. Has been.

  The powdered milk 6 of the present embodiment is composed of a molded milk 6A that is a block-shaped (including a cube-shaped) molded body. The molded body milk 6A is formed into a block shape or the like by applying pressure to the powdered milk 6.

  Most of the molded milk 6A is housed and held in the bag member 5. In this holding state, the upper part 6a of the molded milk 6A protrudes upward from the opening 3, and the upper part 6a is formed in a substantially cylindrical or rectangular tube-like rod shape extending to the inside of the nipple member 4. A weakened portion 16 is formed on the front or back surface of the portion of the bag member 5 that holds the molded body milk 6 </ b> A and faces the bottle body 2.

  The weakened portion 16 in the present embodiment is a cut formed in a dotted line shape. When the weakened portion 16 is formed on the surface of the portion facing the bottle main body 2, the weak portion 16 does not penetrate to the back surface and is the portion facing the bottle main body 2. When it is formed on the back surface, the cut does not penetrate to the front surface. Hereinafter, the fragile portion 16 may be referred to as a notch 16.

  In the beverage container 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above, as shown in the external front view of FIG. 2, each component is substantially compactly integrated into one bottle body 2. Therefore, the beverage container 1 of the present embodiment is excellent in transportability and storage property, and has suitability as an emergency beverage container as described later from this aspect.

  The point of the preparation operation | movement in using the beverage container 1 of this embodiment is demonstrated with reference to FIG. First, the cap 7 is removed, and the upper half 13 of the nipple member 4 together with the protective cover 40 is pressed downward (in the direction indicated by the arrow a in FIG. 3) with the fingers f, and as shown in FIG. The nipple member 4 is elastically deformed.

  As a result, a downward pressing force (in the direction of arrow a) acts on the upper portion 6a of the molded body milk 6A, and the molded body milk 6A is pushed into the bottle body 2, that is, downward. The bag member 5 is broken along the notch 16 by the pressing pressure of the molded body milk 6A, and the molded body milk 6A stored in the bag member 5 falls and falls into the drinking water w stored in the bottle body 2. Fall.

  In this state, if the bottle body 2 is shaken to mix the molded milk 6A in the drinking water w and the molded milk 6A is dispersed in the drinking water w, milk for breast feeding is prepared. At this time, if possible, it is desirable that the bottle body 2 is appropriately heated so that the prepared milk for milking is warmed to the level of human skin. The protective cover 40 is removed when breastfeeding. A cut (not shown) may be provided at an appropriate position to facilitate this excision.

  Thus, according to the beverage container 1 of the present embodiment, the nipple member 4 also serves as a means for dropping the drinking powder body 6 into the bottle body 2, so that the structure of the existing beverage container is not significantly changed. The beverage container 1 can be configured and there is no concern that the cost will increase.

  Further, according to the beverage container 1 of the present embodiment, milk for breast feeding is easily prepared and is configured in a compact manner as described above. It can be promptly provided to those who need it at a place. Therefore, it is extremely beneficial for those who have infants at the time of disaster.

  Moreover, even in general households having infants, if several beverage containers 1 of this embodiment are always provided, it is not limited to unexpected disasters, and it is not troublesome to take out when going out, and milk for breastfeeding simply when going out. Is very convenient. Using the beverage container 1 in which milk for breast feeding is prepared in this manner and feeding the infant with the nipple member 4 in the same manner as a general beverage container, the infant is placed in the bottle body 2 through the small hole 12. Can drink milk.

  As described above, since the operation of dropping the molded milk 6A into the bottle body 2 is performed through the protective cover 40 without directly touching the nipple member 4, germs can adhere to the nipple member 4 from the fingers f. Since the nipple member 4 can be kept clean, the baby can be added as it is.

  FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a modified example of the beverage container 1. In the beverage container 1 of the present modified example, the powdered milk 6 is composed of the molded milk 6A as in the above example, but the shape is such that the lower end portion in the state of being held and held in the bag member 5 is sliced obliquely. This is different from the above example.

  The shape of the bag member 5 is a shape that matches the shape of the molded body milk 6A as in the above example, and the notch 16 is formed so as to reach the acute angle portion at the lower end of the molded body milk 6A. In this modified example, since the lower end portion of the molded body milk 6A is formed in an acute angle shape, the pressing pressure applied to the molded body milk 6A is concentrated on the acute angle portion in the preparation operation as shown in FIG. The bag member 5 can be effectively broken. A conical (pyramidal) shape is also effective as a shape that promotes such breakage.

  Since other configurations are the same as those in the above example, common portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted here.

  FIG. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view showing the beverage container 1 of the second embodiment according to the present invention. In the beverage container 1 of this embodiment, the powdered milk 6 is composed of powdered milk 6B which is a fluid powdered powder.

  In this example, the granular milk 6 </ b> B is filled not only inside the bag member 5 but also inside the nipple member 4. Other configurations are the same as those in the above examples. Also in this example, in the preparatory operation, the cap 7 is removed, and the upper half 13 of the nipple member 4 together with the protective cover 40 is pushed downward (within the bottle body 2) with fingers f (see FIG. 3). The nipple member 4 is elastically deformed.

  As a result, a pressing force acts on the upper portion 6 b of the packed bed of the granular milk 6 </ b> B, and the granular milk 6 </ b> B is pushed into the bottle body 2. At this time, since the powdered milk 6 is the granular milk 6B, a strong pushing force as in the case of the molded milk 6A in the above example does not act, but the granular milk 6B also fills the inside of the nipple member 4. By being filled in this way, the break along the notch 16 is made possible. It is also effective to form the cuts 16 more or deeper than in the case of the molded body milk 6A so that this breakage can be made more reliably.

  As described above, when the bag member 5 is broken, the granular milk 6B falls into the drinking water w in the bottle body 2, and the granular milk 6B is dispersed in the drinking water w by shaking the bottle body 2. . In this case, since the granular milk 6B is easier to disperse in the drinking water w than in the case of the molded milk 6A, the milk for lactation can be prepared more quickly. In addition, there is a merit that the adjustment of the appropriate amount is easier than in the case of the molded body milk 6A.

  Since other configurations are the same as those in the above example, common portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted here.

  FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a beverage container 1 according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In this example, the powdered milk 6 is composed of a mixture of a block-shaped molded milk 6A and a granular milk 6B. The block-shaped molded milk 6A has the same shape as that of the first embodiment, and the bag member so that the powdered milk 6B is filled around the portion of the molded milk 6A that faces the bottle body 2. As shown in FIG. 6, the capacitor 5 has a larger capacity than the example shown in FIG.

  Although the capacity | capacitance of the bag member 5 shown in FIG. 6 has shown that it is substantially equal to the volume of the upper space of the bottle main body 2, this capacity | capacitance is suitably determined according to a specification. In addition, FIG. 6 shows an example in which the bag member 5 is made of a shape-retaining material. As another example, when the bag member 5 is made of a flexible material, the granular milk 6B is used. Depending on the degree of filling, the bag member 5 has a shape that hangs down to the bottom side of the bottle body 2 as shown in FIG. Moreover, the shape as shown in FIG. 4 and the shape of a cone (pyramid) can be similarly adopted as the lower end shape of the molded body milk 6A.

  Although not shown in the figure, the bottom of the bag member 5 is radially cut from a portion corresponding to the lower end center portion of the molded body milk 6A. In the preparatory operation, as in the example shown in FIG. 3, the cap 7 is removed, and the upper half 13 of the nipple member 4 together with the protective cover 40 is moved downward (within the bottle body 2) with the fingers f (see FIG. 3). The protective cover 40 and the nipple member 4 are elastically deformed by pushing.

  Thereby, a pressing force acts on the upper part 6a of the molded body milk 6A, and the molded body milk 6A is pushed into the bottle body 2 (in the direction of arrow a). Along with this, the lower end of the molded body milk 6A acts on the bag member 5, the bag member 5 breaks along the notch (not shown), and the molded body milk 6A stored in the bag member 5 falls ( (Refer to the two-dot chain line portion in FIG. 6). At the same time, the powdered milk 6B also falls, and the molded milk 6A and the powdered milk 6B fall into the drinking water w stored in the bottle body 2. In this state, if the bottle body 2 is shaken to mix the drinking water w with the molded body milk 6A and the granular milk 6B, and the molded body milk 6A and the granular milk 6B are dispersed in the drinking water w, Nursing milk is prepared.

  If the shaped milk 6A and the powdered milk 6B are used in this way, if the required milk quantity cannot be obtained by the molded milk 6A alone, the powdered milk 6B is adjusted to compensate for this. Accordingly, it is possible to set an appropriate product specification according to various demand modes.

  The shapes of the bottle main body 2, the nipple member 4, the cap 7 and the like are not limited to the illustrated example. Various nipples having various shapes that can be appropriately selected according to the characteristics of the infant are commercially available as nipples for general beverage containers. In the present invention, each shape of such nipples can be adopted.

  Moreover, although the nipple member 4 of embodiment has shown the example which consists entirely of a soft elastic material, the mounting base part with respect to the opening part 3 of the bottle main body 2 is good also as what consists of a synthetic resin molding. Furthermore, although the cap 7 has been shown to be detachably fitted to the base portion of the nipple member 4, it may be configured to be detachable by screwing.

  Moreover, although the dotted line-shaped thing was illustrated as the notch | incision 16, it can also be set as a chain line shape, a wavy line shape, and another linear shape.

  Further, the formation pattern of the notches 16 is not limited to the one shown in the drawing, and a design pattern in which the bag member 5 does not break during storage or transportation and easily breaks during the preparatory operation is a design matter. It can also be done appropriately.
