Description

  The present invention relates to a lid of a disposable cup having a mouthpiece with a small chamber for storing tea bags such as tea and green tea after extraction.

In fast food restaurants, disposable cup lids with mouthpieces are used for reasons such as good portability, and teabag extraction type tea beverages also have mouthpieces. Currently, disposable cup lids are used. In general, when a tea bag containing tea leaves is poured into white hot water or the like to extract tea leaf components, it is necessary to take out the tea bags outside after an appropriate extraction time in order to avoid excessive extraction. In restaurants using the above-mentioned disposable cups, they are provided by the following procedure and are eaten and consumed by the restaurants. (1) After the clerk injects white hot water into the disposable cup, the lid with the mouthpiece is closed and an unopened tea bag is attached to provide the food and drink. (2) Eating and drinking customers bother to remove the closed lid and put in a tea bag, and take out the tea bag after the extraction time has elapsed. (3) Place the tea bag after extraction on the tray used for transportation or on the lid with a mouthpiece.
In the above procedure, there is a risk that the food and drink may burn the hand when removing the lid. Moreover, when the tea bag after extraction was put on the tray, the appearance was bad. If it is placed on the lid with a mouthpiece, it is a problem that the corner mouth function cannot be used.
In addition, if it is a case where the lid | cover of a disposable cup with a mouthpiece is not used, it should just be set as the structure which removes a lid | cover at the time of drinking, and the following invention is known (patent document 1).

The extracted tea bag that has absorbed water and expanded is held by being sandwiched between the tea bag storage chambers.

  According to the present invention, the extracted tea bag is pulled up to the storage compartment, so that the extraction can be interrupted away from the liquid surface. Since the sucker does not need to remove the lid and take out the tea bag, he / she can enjoy eating and drinking using the mouthpiece function of the lid without suffering from the risk of burns or poor appearance.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.
