The hook member includes: an upper stuck part adhered to the body along its opening in an elongated shape; a center part located below the upper stuck part at the body center in its width direction not to be pulled out; and a hook part not adhered to the body. Two oblique folding lines are formed on the upper stuck part with a center line therebetween, and being more spaced from the center line while extending from a lower to an upper portion of the upper stuck part, the center line bisecting the body in its width direction. A vertical folding line is formed downwardly from immediately below a lower end of the oblique folding lines. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A drip bag comprising: a bag body formed of a water permeable filtering sheet and having an upper end to be opened, the bag body having two opposing surfaces; and a pair of hook members formed of a plate-shaped material, the pair of hook members being respectively provided on outer faces of the two opposing surfaces of the bag body, the pair of hook members being respectively spaced apart from both vertical side edge of the bag body on each of the two opposing surfaces of the bag body, each of the pair of hook members including: an upper stuck part adhered to the bag body along an opening of the bag body; a center part located below the upper stuck part at a center of the bag body in a width direction of the bag body, the center part being formed so as not to be pulled out from the bag body; and a hook part not adhered to the bag body, wherein for each of the pair of hook members, a pair of oblique folding lines are formed on the upper stuck part with a center line disposed there between, the pair of oblique folding lines being more spaced from the center line at an upper portion of the upper stuck part and extending closer to the center line as the pair of oblique folding lines extends from the upper portion of the upper stuck part to a lower portion of the upper stuck part, the center line bisecting a width of the bag body between both of the vertical side edges of the bag body, and a vertical folding line is formed downwardly from a lower end of the oblique folding lines, the lower ends of the oblique folding lines overlapping each other and the vertical fold line overlapping and extending downwardly from the overlapped lowered ends of the oblique fold lines, whereby, in use, at least the pair of oblique folding lines and the vertical folding line cause the outer faces of the bag body to protrude outward from a bottom end of the bag body upon the pair of hook members being extended away from the bag body. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The drip bag according to claim 1, wherein the center part is adhered to the bag body to form a first center stuck part. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The drip bag according to claim 2, wherein: each of the pair of hook members have a pair of arm parts which are formed on both sides of the first center stuck part and which have one end capable of being pulled out; and the hook part is continuous to the first center stuck part via the arm parts. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The drip bag according to claim 3, wherein lower ends of the arm parts are continuous to the first center stuck part, and upper ends of the arm parts are continuous to the hook parts. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The drip bag according to claim 1, wherein lower ends of the pair of oblique folding lines intersect with each other to form a V-shaped folding line, and the vertical folding line extends downwardly from an intersection of the lower ends of the pair of oblique folding lines. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The drip bag according to claim 2, wherein the first center stuck part is formed by extending downwardly from the upper stuck part. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The drip bag according to claim 3, wherein each of the pair of hook members have a second center stuck part adhered to the bag body adjacent the pair of arm parts toward sides of the bag body. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The drip bag according to claim 7, wherein the first center stuck part is continuous to the second center stuck parts. ### Claim 9 (depends on 3) The drip bag according to claim 3, wherein additional folding lines are formed downwardly from lower ends of the pair of arm parts. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The drip bag according to claim 1, wherein an upper end side of the upper stuck part is trisected by the pair of oblique folding lines. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The drip bag according to claim 1, wherein an upper end of each of the pair of oblique folding lines is located, on an upper end side of the upper stuck part, at โ…œ of the width of the bag body from a side toward the center of the bag body, and a distance between the upper stuck part and the side of the bag body is โ…› of the width of the bag body. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The drip bag according to claim 1, wherein the upper stuck part has an elongated shape. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The drip bag according to claim 1, wherein an extraction material is filled in the bag body, and the upper end of the bag body is closed. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The drip bag according to claim 1, wherein: the pair of oblique folding lines and the vertical folding line form an intersection, the intersection being formed by uncut portions of the pair of oblique folding lines and the vertical folding line; and an upper end of each of the pair of oblique folding lines is formed by uncut portions of the pair of oblique folding lines, and other portions of each of the pair of oblique folding lines are formed only by one cut portion of the pair of oblique folding lines. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The drip bag according to claim 1, wherein: the pair of oblique folding lines and the vertical folding line form an intersection, the intersection being formed by cut portions of the pair of oblique folding lines and the vertical folding line at the location of the intersection and formed by uncut portions located immediately outside the cut portions extending away from the intersection; and an upper end of each of the pair of oblique folding lines is formed by uncut portions of the pair of oblique folding lines, and other portions of each of the pair of oblique folding lines are formed only by one cut portion of the pair of oblique folding lines.
