A container according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings (FIGS. 1 to 20).
Reference numeral 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a container, and the container 10 has a main body 1 that receives tea leaves and liquid and has a drinking spout. Reference numeral 2 indicated by a broken line in FIG. 3 is a tea strainer provided within the main body 1, and the tea strainer 2 has a plurality of slits 21 provided in the longitudinal direction. 3 indicated by a broken line (originally, it should be indicated by a solid line) in FIG. 3 is a handle.

The main body 1 is divided into a first chamber 1A and a second chamber 1B by a tea strainer 2, and the second chamber 1B is divided into a first chamber 1A and a second chamber 1B.
The volume is larger than the volume of the first chamber 1A, and the tea leaves are placed in the first chamber 1A having the smaller volume (see FIGS. 3 and 7).
As shown in FIG. 7, the tea strainer 2 has an inverted L shape when viewed from the side, and has multiple slits 2.
1 and 21 are provided in parallel and adjacent to each other, as shown in FIGS. The second slit 21B formed in the second slit 21B and the first slit 21
It communicates with A through a bent part.
The tea strainer 2 (see FIGS. 16 to 20) is made of synthetic resin, and when pulled in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the width of the slit 21 increases as shown in FIGS. 19 and 20. It becomes easy to remove tea leaves stuck in the tea leaves.

As shown in FIG. 1, the outer bottom of the main body 1 includes a flat part 1C that includes the center of the bottom located on the outer side of the main body 1 and extends across the bottom, and a flat part 1C of the flat part 1C. A first inclined part 1D that extends from one side 1C1 of the flat part 1C to the outer edge of the bottom and is provided on an upward slope, and a first slope part 1D that extends from the other side 1C2 of the flat part 1C that extends towards the outer edge of the bottom part and is provided on an upward slope. A second inclined portion 1E is provided.

When the flat portion 1C comes into contact with the flat mounting surface 100 shown in FIG. 13, the first inclined portion 1D and the second inclined portion 1E separate from the mounting surface 100.
Further, as shown in FIG. 14, when the first inclined part 1D abuts the mounting surface 100, the flat part 1C and the second inclined part 1E are separated from the mounting surface 100, and as shown in FIG. As shown, when the second inclined part 1E comes into contact with the placing surface 100, the flat part 1C and the first inclined part 1D touch the placing surface 1.
Move away from 00.
The reason why the inclination of the main body 1 is made variable as shown in FIGS. 13 to 15 is that, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, even the same amount of liquid (for example, hot water) can be By easily changing the amount of liquid immersed in the drink, it is possible to respond to the preferences of the drinker.

In addition, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the flat part 1C that includes the center of the bottom located on the outside of the main body 1 of the container 10 and is provided to cross the bottom, and the side 1C1 that the flat part 1C crosses. A first inclined portion 1D is provided on an upward slope toward the outer edge of the bottom portion, and a second inclined portion 1D is provided on an upward slope and directed toward the outer edge of the bottom portion from the other side 1C2 crossing the flat portion 1C. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, as shown in FIG. A provided ridgeline portion 1C′ and a direction from the ridgeline portion 1C′ toward the outer edge of the bottom portion,
The mounting device includes a first inclined portion 1D provided on an upward slope, and a second inclined portion 1E provided on an upward slope and directed in a direction opposite to the direction from the ridgeline portion 1C′ toward the outer edge of the bottom portion. Placement (
Although not shown, when the first inclined portion 1D abuts the placing surface 100 shown in FIG. 14), the second inclined portion 1E contacts the placing surface (not shown, the placing surface 100 shown in FIG. 14). When the second inclined part 1E is separated from the mounting surface (not shown, but the mounting surface 100 shown in FIG. 15) and comes into contact with the mounting surface (not shown, the mounting surface 100 shown in FIG. 15) from the mounting surface 100).

Next, the container 10 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23.
In the main body 1, as in the above-described embodiments (FIGS. 1 to 20), the bottom external shape of the main body 10 is tapered toward the center of the bottom external shape when viewed from the front, and the flat portion 1C has at least a cross section. It has one side 1C1 that crosses and another side 1C2 that crosses, one side that crosses 1C1 and the other side 1C2 that crosses are parallel, and the bottom between the one side that crosses 1C1 and the other side 1C2 that crosses, It has a zigzag shape that does not protrude beyond one side 1C1 of the traverse and another side 1C2 of the traverse. Note that the inside of the main body 1, that is, the tea strainer 2, is the same as in the embodiment described above.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 23, if the container 10 is placed on the mounting surface 100 with the bottom facing upward, the container 10 has the effect of evoking the shape of Mt. Fuji.
