  In recent years, tea bags not only perform tea extraction like the tea bag of Patent Document 1, but also have a bag body that stores tea leaves in a shape that simulates aquatic mammals such as dolphins and fish. When the tea is extracted, it may be formed for the purpose of making the user visually amuse as these aquatic organisms are swimming in the tea.

  On the other hand, a tea bag simulating aquatic mammals such as dolphins and fishes may be provided with a protrusion such as a chest fin at an arbitrary position on the outer peripheral surface of the bag body in order to express these external shapes. When a protrusion formed as a separate member is bonded to the outer peripheral surface of the bag body, the extracted tea is heated in the bonding mode and during extraction, so that There is a problem in that harmful substances may be dissolved.

  In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention can be easily formed at any position without melting harmful substances even when a protrusion is provided on the bag body in manufacturing a tea bag designed in a complicated shape. A method for manufacturing a possible tea bag is provided.

  First, a non-woven fabric of a predetermined shape is folded into a bag shape, a part of the end of the folded non-woven fabric is crimped and bonded to form a bag body having an opening, and tea leaves are stored in the bag from the opening. In the method for manufacturing a tea bag for sealing an opening, the non-woven fabric having a predetermined shape is formed as an incision-shaped cloth having a planar shape obtained by cutting out an outer shape of a predetermined object, and a protrusion is formed on an outer peripheral end of the incision-shaped cloth. A cut portion formed by cutting a part of the incision-shaped cloth, and folding the protruding portion inside a bag body formed by folding the incision-shaped cloth into a bag shape. The portion was inserted into the cut portion from the inside of the bag body and protruded to the outside of the bag body.

  (Operation) The protrusion formed integrally with the outer peripheral end of the bag body is folded back inside the bag body, and the tip of the protrusion protrudes out of the bag body from the cut portion and the remaining portion of the protrusion is The inner pressure is applied from the tea leaves filled in the bag body and pressed against the inner peripheral surface of the bag body, so that the bag body is fixed at the position of the cut portion.

  Further, in the tea bag manufacturing method, the incision-shaped cloth is formed into a planar shape obtained by cutting out the outer shape of a fish or aquatic mammal, and the tip of the projection is formed as a fin of the fish or aquatic mammal. .

  (Operation) In the manufacture of tea bags simulating fish or aquatic mammals, the fin portion is formed at an arbitrary position of the bag body corresponding to the trunk.

  In the tea bag manufacturing method, a folded portion indicating a folded position is formed on the incision-shaped cloth.

  (Operation) The incision-shaped cloth is formed in a tea bag having a predetermined shape by folding the incision-shaped cloth along a predetermined folding portion.

  In the tea bag manufacturing method, the folded portion is formed as a perforation.

  (Operation) When the strength of the folded portion is lowered, the incised cloth is accurately folded into a predetermined shape at a predetermined position. Moreover, the tea extracted from the tea leaves in the tea bag submerged in the hot water in the container flows out from the perforation to the hot water outside the tea bag.

  According to the manufacturing method of the tea bag of the present application, the protruding portion is protruded outward from the slit formed at an arbitrary position from the outer peripheral end portion of the bag body, so that the protruding portion is outer peripheral surface of the bag body. Can be easily formed at any position. In addition, since the protrusion is fixed by the internal pressure that acts on the bag body from the tea leaf, no adhesive or the like is required, so even if the formation part of the protrusion is heated when extracting tea, harmful substances are brought into the tea. There is no risk of melting.

  According to the tea bag manufacturing method of the present application, it is possible to easily form a safe tea bag imitating a fish or an aquatic mammal that does not cause a harmful substance to dissolve in tea during tea extraction.

According to the tea bag manufacturing method of the present application, the designed tea bag is accurately and easily formed into a predetermined shape by folding the incision-shaped cloth according to the folded portion. Accordingly, the tea bag is easily formed in a predetermined shape, and tea is easily extracted from the tea leaves in the tea bag into the hot water in the container in which the tea bag is submerged.

It is formed to have a shape. In addition, the shape of the incision-shaped cloth is formed so as to open a three-dimensional shape imitating aquatic organisms such as aquatic mammals such as dolphins and fish such as whale sharks, and other three-dimensional shapes imitating various objects. The tea bag is formed as a bag based on the shape of the incised cloth.

  The cut cloth 1 in FIG. 1 has a shape in which a pair of main body portions (2, 3), a bottom portion 4, a tail fin 5, and a pair of projection portions (6, 7) having a dolphin side view shape are integrally formed. The main body (2, 3) includes a dolphin mouth (8a, 8b) provided at the tip, a frontal head (9a, 9b) continuous behind the mouth, and a dorsal fin continuous behind the frontal head. (10a, 10b), a caudal part (11a, 11b) continuous to the dorsal fin, and a tearing part (12a, 12b).

  The main body (2, 3) in FIG. 1 forms the right side and the left side of the dolphin, and the bottom 4 forms the abdomen of the dolphin. The main body (2, 3) is integrated above and below the bottom 4 of FIG. When a center line extending in the front-rear direction at the center of the bottom part 4 is L1, the pair of main body parts (2, 3) and the projecting parts (6, 7) have a shape that is line-symmetric with respect to the center line L1. A pair of folded portions (13, 14) formed as perforations or drawn as a line such as a broken line is provided at the boundary between the main body portions (2, 3) and the bottom portion 4. The dorsal fin 5 is formed integrally with the main body (2, 3) and the rear end of the bottom 4.

  The protrusions (6, 7) in FIG. 1 have fins (6a, 7a) that are fins, which are the tips of the protrusions, and connecting parts (6b, 7b). 7a) is respectively integrated with the outer peripheral end portions (2a, 3a) of the main body portion (2, 3) via the connecting portions (6b, 7b). The protrusions (6, 7) of the present embodiment are formed so as to protrude vertically from the outer periphery of the forehead (9a, 9b). The main body (2, 3) has a teared part (12a, 12b) that is torn substantially back and forth at a position where a chest fin is formed in the vicinity of the folded part (13, 14).

  Next, a method for manufacturing a dolphin tea bag 1 ′ in the present embodiment using the cut-out cloth 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the protrusions (6, 7) shown in FIG. 1 are folded back from the back side to the front side in FIG. 2 at the positions indicated by the three-dot chain lines (15, 16). The front side surface of the main body (2, 3) shown in FIG. 2 is formed as the inner peripheral surface (2a, 3a) of the tea bag. The protrusions (6, 7) are folded back until they contact the inner peripheral surfaces (2b, 3b) as shown in FIG. 2, and the fins (6a, 7a) at the tips of the protrusions (6, 7) It is inserted into the slits (12a, 12b) from the front side to the back side in FIG.

  Next, the main body portions (2, 3) are folded back from the back side of the sheet of FIG. 2 to the front side at the positions of the folding portions (13, 14), respectively, and as shown in FIG. 3, the mouth portions (8a, 8b), frontal head (9a 9b), the dorsal fin (10a, 10b) and the upper end of the tail handle (11a, 11b) are aligned. At that time, the mouth portion (8a, 8b) is closed by bending the three-dot chain line portion of the reference numeral (17, 18) of the bottom portion 4 so as to be convex toward the front side of the paper surface, and the combined dorsal fin (10a, 10b) 3, a hanging string 19 b with a knob 19 a shown in FIG. 3 is sandwiched (omitted in FIG. 2). In addition, although the folding | turning part is not provided in the position shown with the dashed-dotted line of a code | symbol (15-18), you may provide the folding | turning part by a perforation or a broken line like the folding | turning part (13,14).

  In this state, a portion of the range from the three-dot chain line portion indicated by reference numerals (20, 21) in FIG. 2 to the outer peripheral end of the main body portion (2, 3) is thermocompression bonded, thereby providing green tea and rooibos tea inside. , A bag 22 containing tea leaves such as herbal tea, brown rice tea, oolong tea, black tea, kelp tea, and wheat tea. Specifically, only the outer peripheral portion of the section A1 to A2 and the outer peripheral portion of the section B1 to B2 in FIG. 2 are respectively thermocompression bonded to form the bag body 22 as shown in FIG. In the third bag body 22, an opening 23 for inserting tea leaves is formed by not thermocompressing the outer peripheral portion of the section A2 to A3 and the outer peripheral portion of the section B2 to B3.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the chest fins (6a, 7a) are folded upward from the bottom and directed horizontally, thereby forming the dolphin chest fins at the positions of the cut portions (12a, 12b).

  Further, after filling the inside of the bag body 22 with the tea leaves from the opening 23, the outer peripheral portion of the section A2 to A3 and the outer peripheral portion of the section B2 to B3 in FIG. A dolphin-shaped tea bag 1 ′ as shown in FIG. 3 is manufactured.

  According to the manufacturing method of the tea bag 1 ′ of the present embodiment, the protrusions (6, 7) are inward from the outer peripheral end of the bag body 22, that is, the outer peripheral end (2 a, 3 a) of the main body (2, 3). The chest fins (6a, 7a) formed at the tip of the projections (6, 7) are projected from the cut portions (12a, 12b) of the bag body 22 to the outside of the bag body 22 by folding back (6a, 7a) can be easily formed at an arbitrary position on the outer peripheral surface of the bag body 22 based on the position of the slits (12a, 12b).

  In addition, the fins (6a, 7a) of the projections (6, 7) are connected to the inner peripheral surface (6b, 7b) of the bag body 22 by receiving the internal pressure of the tea leaves filled inside the bag body (22). By being pressed against 2b and 3b), it is fixed so as not to come out from the cut portions (12a and 12b) to the inside of the bag body. As described above, in this embodiment, the chest fins (6a, 7a) are inserted into the slits (12a, 12b) to be positioned on the outer peripheral surface of the bag body 22, and the tea leaves filled in the bag body 22 Since it is secured to the bag body 22 by the internal pressure, a drug such as an adhesive becomes unnecessary when the chest fins (6a, 7a), which are the projections (6, 7), are secured to the bag body 22. Therefore, according to the manufacturing method of this embodiment, even if the manufactured tea bag 1 ′ is heated when extracting tea, there is no possibility of causing harmful substances to dissolve in the tea, and the bag body 22 is filled with breasts. Projections (6, 7) such as (6a, 7a) can be formed.

  In recent years, tea bags have been formed into shapes designed to resemble aquatic mammals such as dolphins and fish, and when a tea is extracted, the aquatic organisms are shown to be swimming in the tea. Some are formed for the purpose of entertaining. Therefore, according to the tea bag manufacturing method of the present embodiment, it is easy to form a protrusion such as a fin on a viewing tea bag imitating a dolphin or the like, thereby facilitating the formation of a complex shaped tea bag. Even if immersed in hot water, you can drink tea safely while enjoying the state of extraction.

  In addition, when forming a folding | turning part in the location shown by the dashed-dotted line of the folding | returning part (13,14) and code | symbol (15-18) shown by FIG.1 and FIG.2, these folding | returning parts have a sewing machine rather than a broken line. It is desirable to form eyes.

  In such a case, the incised cloth 1 is accurately folded into a predetermined shape at a predetermined position as the strength of the folded portion decreases, and is easily formed into a dolphin shape. Also, when improving the workability when forming the shape of a dolphin by increasing the strength of the nonwoven fabric, or when improving the strength of the nonwoven fabric to maintain the shape of the dolphin formed, it is extracted from the tea leaves in the tea bag There is a risk that the tea that has passed through the non-woven fabric will not easily flow into the hot water in the container in which the tea bag is submerged. However, when the folding part is formed as a perforation, the tea extracted in the tea bag flows out into the hot water in the container through the perforation, so the folding part formed as a perforation is a non-woven fabric of the tea bag. Even when the strength of the tea is increased, the tea extractability can be improved.
