L uids container Description:

The innovation concerns a liquid container, especially electric kettle, keep warm / pot or the like with a lid and one in the area of Zotte provided closing device.

Electric kettles, warming jugs or the like consist of a liquid container with Lid and in the area of the lid is one on the container Villi provided. In such a liquid container, it is known in the field of Villi to provide a closing device (DE-OS 31 06 736). This locking device exists from a ball, when standing upright Liquid container closes the interior of the container and in the pouring position the pouring opening is free. If this container is knocked over, the hot water flows schwa Ilartig eus the villus and there is a risk of severe scalds due to the uncontrolled movement of the Hot liquid flowing out of the liquid container. This risk cannot be eliminated by the known locking device.

The innovation is based on the task of creating a

Liquid container, especially an electric one Kettle, a warming jug or the like, like that “To prevent the uncontrolled leakage of Liquids in case of accidental knocking over or falling of the liquid container is avoided.

This task is solved by the characteristic Features of claim 1.

The surface of the liquid container is like this designed so that when the container is upright, the villi has the greatest force in the pouring direction must be in order to bring the container out of its equilibrium state. This means that in the event of the container being accidentally knocked over does not fall over in the pouring direction. The flap covering the free cross-section of the villi is in the area of Villi is hinged to the lid and can be pivoted in the pouring direction. Due to the outside of the swivel axis with the Counterweight connected to the flap, the flap is rotated in the closed and open position. Is beneficial the counterweight, e.g. B. a ball, freely movable arranged within a holding cage. The retaining cage is designed so that the ball by changing its Position exerts a force pointing in one direction or the other on the flap. This closes the flap if the container is upright, use the free one Villi cross-section, during this in the pouring position is opened. The ball holders provided in the side walls of the retaining cage block the ball when the

Tilting direction of the container deviates from the Gießrlchtuhg, so that the ball does not change its position. The flap thus remains closed. What with a inadvertently knocked over liquid containers black outflow of hot water is prevented »

,It shows:

Figure 1 an electric kettle with the

new measuring device in

Shooting position; FIG. 2 the electric kettle according to FIG. 1

partially cut in plan view; Figure 3, the electric kettle with

Locking device in the open position.

The electric cooker 1 shown in FIG. 1 consists of the container 2 with villus 3 and a lid 1. On the lid 4 there is a flap 5 in the direction of pouring the villus 3 pivotably articulated which covers the free villi cross-section. Outside the pivot axis 6 a counterweight in the form of a ball 7 is arranged on the flap 5. The ball 7 is in one Retaining cage 8 mounted so that it can move freely. The bottom surface 9 of the holding cage 8 is inclined to the container bottom 10 and

In the side walls 11 are, as Figure 2 shows, Ball holder 12 molded on. The surface 13 of the Container 2 is designed so that the upright The kettle 1 does not move in the direction of flow by itself Villi 3 can fall over. If the kettle 1 is switched off its position shown in Figure 1 in the casting direction pivoted, the ball 7 changes its position and exercises Towards flap 5, a force in casting direction is exerted. through which the flap 5 from its closed position into the in Figure 3 rotates open position shown. If the Tilting movement of the kettle 1 but not in the pouring direction, the ball 7 is held by the ball holders 12 blocked. As a result, the ball 7 cannot change its position and also cannot exert any force on the flap 5, The free cross-section of the villi remains closed and the The contents of the container 2 cannot flow out like a gush.
