Abstract

A lid structure includes a lower lid slightly flared at the upper fringe, and having an engagement flange formed around it with a claw provided on its upper edge. A cutting tube of an upper lid is extended down from the center of the upper lid and inserted into the lower lid. The bottom of the cutting tube is also tilted. A detent is formed on the inner surface at the lower end of the upper lid to engage with the claw of the engagement flange so as to couple tightly the two lids. Several gaskets are provided around the inner side wall of the upper lid. An infusion drink material is filled into the cutting tube of the upper lid, and a film is used to seal the bottom of the lower lid.

Claims

1. A lid structure for infusion drinks percolator comprising:

a lower lid having an engagement flange formed around with a claw provided on the upper edge of said engagement flange, wherein the bottom of said lower lid is formed into a first tilted port;

a film for sealing the first tilted port at the bottom of said lower lid.

2. The lid structure of claim 1, wherein anyone infusion drink materials is allowable to fill into said cutting tube.

3. The lid structure of claim 1, wherein said lower lid is slightly flared at the upper fringe thereof so as to enhance tightness of coupling between said upper and said lower lids.

4. The lid structure of claim 1, wherein said infusion drink materials include tea leaves, tea powder, Ginseng powder, or coffee.

19. The lid structure of claim 4, wherein said lower lid is slightly flared at the upper fringe thereof so as to enhance tightness of coupling between said upper and said lower lids.

20. The lid structure of claim 4, wherein said infusion drink materials include tea leaves, tea powder, Ginseng powder, or coffee.

5. A lid structure for infusion drinks percolator comprising:

a lower lid having an engagement flange formed around with a claw provided on the upper edge of said engagement flange to be hooked onto a detent formed on an upper lid;

said upper lid having a plate extended downwards from one side thereof, and said detent being formed on the inner side surface at the lower end of said upper lid, and more than one gaskets being provided around the inner side wall of said upper lid, wherein said plate of said upper lid is inserted down into said lower lid, said lower lid and said upper lid are engaged with each other with said claw hooked onto said detent; and

a film for sealing the bottom of said lower lid and being adhered to the end surface of said plate.

6. The lid structure of claim 5, wherein an infusion drink material can be filled into said upper lid after coupling said upper and said lower lids.

7. The lid structure of claim 5, wherein said lower lid is slightly flared at the upper fringe thereof so as to enhance tightness of coupling between said upper and said lower lids.

8. The lid structure of claim 5, wherein said infusion drink materials include tea leaves, tea powder, Ginseng powder, or coffee.

9. A lid structure for infusion drinks percolator comprising:
