Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a container for cooling and keeping cold bottled beer, canned beer, canned juice, sake, wine as well as warmed canned coffee, tea and sake.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is a case where a cold beverage or a warm beverage is left without drinking immediately or completely without drinking, and is left at room temperature as it is. It is often experienced that coldness and warmth are lost and that a delicious drink cannot be obtained. In addition, dew condensation occurs in the container of the cooled beverage, and the dew water accumulates on the table or is inadvertently attached to the hand.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention has been made on the basis of the above-mentioned circumstances, and it has been found that a cooled beverage can maintain its cooled state, eliminate the inconvenience due to dew condensation, and provide a heated beverage. The object provides a container for cooling and warming that can maintain the warmed state.

[0004]

Means for Solving the Problems In the present invention, claim 1 is provided.
The invention described in the above is characterized in that it has a hollow portion of a bottomed cylindrical body for accommodating an object to be cooled and kept warm, and is provided with a heat insulating layer on at least the inner peripheral surface of the hollow portion.

[0005] Here, the heat insulating layer is a heat insulating member that functions to keep or cool the objects accommodated in the hollow portion, such as bottled beer, canned beer, canned juice, sake, wine, and heated canned coffee, tea, and sake. It refers to one having the thickness of the heat insulating member. Examples of the heat insulating member include a foamed resin, and specifically, a foamed urethane resin is desirable.

[0006] With such a configuration, the object accommodated in the hollow portion of the bottomed cylindrical body is covered with a heat insulating layer except for the upper side, so that the object has the coldness or coldness. Warmth is maintained for a long time. Here, the bottomed cylindrical body may be entirely formed as a heat insulating material. However, as described in claim 2, the outer periphery of the heat insulating layer is covered with a coating, for example, a film made of wood, plastic, metal, or polyethylene. May be covered. If formed in this way, the appearance will be good and the commercial value will be high. Furthermore, if a design or a character is applied to the outer surface of the cover, it can be widely used as a product for various purposes.

It is preferable that the gap between the object accommodated in the hollow portion and the heat insulating layer is as small as possible in order to enhance the cooling effect and the heat insulating effect of the heat insulating layer. Even so, if at least one longitudinally extending groove is provided in the heat insulating layer, it becomes a passage for air, and the object can be easily taken in and out of the hollow portion. Further, even if at least one hole is provided in the lower part of the side peripheral wall as in the invention according to the fourth aspect, the object can be easily put in and out of the hollow portion.

[0008]

1 and 2 show a first embodiment of the present invention. A circular bottomed cylindrical body 3 having a hollow portion 2 for accommodating a container 1 for beverages is shown in FIGS. It is composed of a heat insulating layer 4 molded of urethane foam resin, and a plastic film 7 made of vinyl, polyethylene, or the like, on which a design or a sponsor name 6 is printed, is adhered to the side peripheral surface. The hollow portion 2 is substantially the same size as the beverage container 1 housed therein, and the heat insulating layer 4 and the beverage container forming the inner peripheral surface of the hollow portion 2 in order to enhance the effect of keeping cold or warm. It is desirable to be accommodated in a state of contact with 1. At this time, a single groove 8 for venting air is formed in the heat insulating layer 4 from the upper end to the bottom in order to make it easier to put the beverage container 1 into and out of the hollow portion 2.
A). 2B instead of the air vent groove 8.
As shown in the figure, a hole 9 may be provided in the lower part of the side peripheral wall of the bottomed cylindrical body 3. The hole 9 has an inwardly tapered portion 10 on the peripheral wall at the lower edge of the beverage container 1 to make room.
Is desirably provided at a position corresponding to.

FIG. 3 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a wooden covering 11 which covers the outside of the heat insulating layer 4 is provided to improve the appearance. Further, in order to further improve the appearance, a design 12 and characters 13 are provided on the side peripheral surface of the cover 11. Means for applying the character 13 to the design 12 may be applied directly to the surface of the tree, or may be affixed with a film sheet on which they are printed.

The members constituting the heat insulating layer 4 are not particularly limited as long as they can effectively exhibit the function of keeping and cooling the beverage in the container 1, and the thickness of the heat insulating layer 4 is not particularly limited. 3 mm to 3 cm is desirable in consideration of convenience in handling. In addition, the size of the hollow portion 2 is set in advance corresponding to, for example, the size of a can container or a bottle container, and particularly in the case of a bottle container, the diameter is reduced as shown in FIG. A configuration in which the upper part is exposed with the upper part exposed may be employed. The cover 11 shown in FIG. 3 is not limited to wood, but may be made of plastic or metal.

[0011]

By using the container for keeping cold and keeping warm according to the present invention, it is possible to keep a cold drink in a cold state and a hot drink in a hot state, so that the taste is not impaired as much as possible. be able to. Further, it is possible to prevent moisture adhering to the dew condensation on the container of the cooled drink from getting on the hands or accumulating on the table. for that reason,
Can also play the role of coaster. On the other hand, even in the case of a very hot drink, the container for keeping cool and warm is not hot, so that it is easy to hold or carry by hand.

[0012] The container for keeping cool and keeping warm according to the present invention can be manufactured at a low cost, and it is also possible to display advertisements by displaying designs and characters on the cover, and to provide services for retail stores by attaching a sponsor. It can be widely used for goods, tourist souvenirs, gifts, souvenirs, etc.
