ABSTRACT:

(B) BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the lid of the liquid container for containing various drinks like coffee or tea, especially coffee made with a coffee maker.
2. Description of the Prior Art
For the lid described above, there is U.S. Pat. No. 5,609,194. As for this lid, it is possible to pour the liquid while it is put on and in order to prevent vapor from going away from the contained liquid, there is a device to deviate vapor entering into the said pouring outlet, which device is set on the below side of the pouring outlet perforating from the upper side downward.
However, as the said pouring outlet is formed wide open like a funnel, there is a problem that trashes are easy to enter.
Also, there is a vacuum bottle disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 5,699,841. According to this vacuum bottle, on the lid material the upper lid is set to close the pouring outlet so that it has a merit that the entry of trashes can be deterred as much as possible. In addition, in this vacuum bottle, there is set a moving inner lid closing the inner opening part of the container by moving up and down so that it has a merit that it can prevent vapor, odor, tastes, heat and coldness from being lost.
However, according to the construction of the above moving inner lid, there is a case that the pouring can not be done well, as the moving inner lid does not function well when adherent liquid or sticky liquid is poured.
(c) SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The main object of the present invention is to deter trashes entering into the container as much as possible and to provide for a smooth pouring of the liquid that may be adherent.
This means that it is to provide a lid to set on the upper opening part of the liquid container which is to be inclined to pour the liquid, wherein the pouring outlet is formed on the upper side in order to pour the liquid into the said liquid container and there is formed a pouring way perforating from the said pouring outlet downward and on the below side of the said pouring way, an extension material is set for inclining the below opening part sideways, the said extension material extended from the above mentioned pouring way, so that the above mentioned pouring outlet is perforated into the inner side of the said liquid container, with a free space above the height of the said opening part, which does not close the inner opening part of the liquid container and on the upper side of the said pouring outlet, the upper lid is attached to the liquid container, which upper lid opens and closes by support of the hinge.
In other words, according to the above mentioned structure, the pouring outlet of the lid can be closed by the upper lid so that it is possible to deter the entry of trashes as much as possible. In addition, above the height of the opening part at the below end of the extension material attached to the lid, there is formed a free space not closing the inner opening part of the liquid container so that there is no structure which might bar the pouring of the liquid and it is possible to obtain a smooth pouring of the liquid that may be adherent.
The present invention will be more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
