Infusion Unit

Abstract

The invention relates to an infusion unit comprising a bag part ( 21 ) which contains an infusion material, preferably tea leaves, and a handle ( 22 ) which is connected to the bag part ( 21 ). Said type of infusion unit can be improved in such a manner that it is suitable for preparing high-quality infusion drinks, in particular, for street vendors. According to the invention, the handle ( 22 ) is a plate-shaped element, made of, preferably, paper, cardboard or plastic, whereon the bag part ( 21 ) is directly secured such that it is seen in the direction of the elongate extension of the handle ( 22 ), and is arranged between opposite lying ends ( 23, 24 ) of the handle ( 22 ) such that the handle extends on both sides over the connection point of the handle ( 22 ) with the bag part ( 21 ) when the handle ( 22 ) and the bag part ( 21 ) are tilted against each other about 90°.

1 . Infusion unit with a bag part containing an infusion material, preferably tea leaves, and a handle attached to the bag part, characterized in that the handle is a plate-type element, preferably made of paper, cardboard or plastic, to which the bag part is directly fastened in such a way that, viewed in a direction of the elongate extension of the handle, it is situated between opposite ends of the handle such that when the handle and the bag part are tilted about 90° from one another, the handle extends to both sides over a point at which the handle is connected to the bag part. 
     
     
         2 . Infusion unit according to  claim 1 , wherein when viewed in the elongate extension of the handle, the bag part is fastened to the handle eccentrically between the opposite ends. 
     
     
         3 . Infusion unit according to  claim 2 , wherein the point at which the handle is connected to the bag part divides the handle in the direction of its elongate extension in a ratio of approximately 1:3. 
     
     
         4 . Infusion unit according to  claim 2 , wherein the handle has an essentially rectangular basic shape, wherein the end of the handle that is farther from the point of connection of the handle to the bag part is rounded. 
     
     
         5 . Infusion unit according to  claim 1  wherein the bag part is fastened to the handle by folding over one end of the handle and gluing one end of the bag part between two surfaces of the handle that are situated one on top of another as a result of the folding. 
     
     
         6 . Infusion unit according to  claim 5 , wherein the folded over section of the handle forms a gripping section for grasping the infusion unit. 
     
     
         7 . Infusion unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the handle is wider, in a span measured crosswise to the direction of the elongate extension, than the bag part fastened to it, and in this direction extends on both sides beyond the bag part. 
     
     
         8 . Infusion unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the bag part is a flat bag. 
     
     
         9 . Infusion unit according to  claim 1 , wherein the bag part is approximately 100 mm-130 mm long and approximately 50 mm wide, and that the handle is approximately 80 mm long and approximately 54 mm wide, wherein the first end that extends beyond the point of connection of the bag part to the gripping part is approximately 20 mm long, and the second extending end is approximately 60 mm long. 
     
     
         10 . Infusion unit according to  claim 1 , wherein a fold extends along the direction of the elongate extension of the handle, approximately centered over its entire length.
