Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine verschließbare Kanne zum Ausgießen von Getränken, die mehrere Kammern zum Aufbewahren von Getränken aufweist.The invention relates to a closable pot for pouring drinks, which has a plurality of chambers for storing drinks.

Aus DE 197 51 358 A1 sind Kannen mit mehreren Kammern bekannt. Darin wird eine Kanne beschrieben, welche eine Vielzahl an Kammern aufweist, die mit einzelnen Dichtungsdeckeln verschlossen werden. Um eine gewünschte Kammer zu öffnen, muß der jeweilige Dichtungsdeckel abgenommen werden. Dieser Vorgang ist mühsam, zeitaufwendig und erfordert eine gewisse Fingerfertigkeit. Insbesondere im Servicebereich von Transportgesellschaften, beispielsweise im Flugzeug während des Auftretens von Turbulenzen, gestaltet es sich als schwierig, bei einer Kanne wie in DE 197 51 358 A1 beschrieben, gezielt ein Getränk aus einer bestimmten Kammer zu gießen. Es besteht die Gefahr, das Getränk zu verschütten und im Falle eines Heißgetränkes Verbrennungen davon zu tragen.Out DE 197 51 358 A1 are pitchers with several chambers known. Therein, a pot is described, which has a plurality of chambers which are closed with individual sealing lids. To open a desired chamber, the respective seal cover must be removed. This process is laborious, time consuming and requires some dexterity. In particular, in the service sector of transport companies, for example, in the aircraft during the occurrence of turbulence, it is difficult for a jug as in DE 197 51 358 A1 described specifically to pour a drink from a particular chamber. There is a risk of spilling the drink and burning it in the event of a hot drink.

US 5,240,145 beschreibt eine thermisch isolierte Kanne die zwei Kammern aufweist, die über zwei Öffnungshebel Auslaßventile der jeweiligen Kammern ansteuert. Zusätzlich zu den Ventilen werden von den Öffnungshebeln Luftausgleichsöffnungen geöffnet und geschlossen. US 5,240,145 describes a thermally insulated jug having two chambers, which controls the exhaust valves of the respective chambers via two opening lever. In addition to the valves, air release openings are opened and closed by the opening levers.

Auch in US 5,265,767 wird über eine Hebelmechanik wahlweise eine von zwei Kammern einer Kanne geöffnet. Die Hebelmechanik ist in Schließstellung der Ventile vorgespannt.Also in US 5,265,767 is selectively opened via a lever mechanism one of two chambers of a pot. The lever mechanism is biased in the closed position of the valves.

US 4,832,231 lehrt eine Kanne mit einer ersten äußeren und einer, in der äußeren angeordneten inneren zweiten Kammer. Durch einen Schiebemechanismus kann wahlweise die Flüssigkeit der ersten, der zweiten oder beider Kammern ausgegossen werden. Neben dem selektiven Ausgießen wird über dieselbe Schiebemechanik auch die wahlweise Befüllung der Kammern über eine oberseitige Öffnung gesteuert. US 4,832,231 teaches a pot having a first outer and an inner second chamber disposed in the outer. By a sliding mechanism can optionally the liquid of the first, the second or both chambers be poured out. In addition to selective pouring, the optional sliding mechanism also controls the optional filling of the chambers via a top opening.

US 5,779,102 beschreibt eine Kanne aus zwei miteinander lösbar verbundenen Kammern, aus denen über einen Schwenk- oder Schiebemechanismus wahlweise Flüssigkeit aus der gewünschten Kammer ausgegossen werden kann. Neben den Flüssigkeitsausgießöffnungen werden mittels des Schwenk- oder Schiebemechanismus auch die Luftausgleichsöffnungen geöffnet oder verschlossen. US 5,779,102 describes a jug of two detachably connected chambers from which liquid can be poured out of the desired chamber via a pivoting or sliding mechanism selectively. In addition to the Flüssigkeitsausgießöffnungen the air compensation openings are opened or closed by means of the pivoting or sliding mechanism.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Kanne mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes des Anspruches 1 derart auszubilden, daß aus einer Kanne mit mehreren Kammern das sichere Halten der Kanne und gleichzeitig das gezielte Ausgießen unter der Verwendung einer Hand und ohne deren Umgreifen zu gewährleisten. Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst, vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen 2 - 17.The invention has for its object to form a pot with the features of the preamble of claim 1 such that to ensure safe holding of the pot and at the same time the targeted pouring out using a hand and without embracing from a pot with multiple chambers. This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1, advantageous developments emerge from the dependent claims 2-17.

Als Kern der Erfindung wird es angesehen, die Verschlußelemente derart anzuordnen, daß sowohl deren Bedienung als auch das Halten der Kanne ein selektives Ausgießen des Inhaltes durch einhändige Bedienung ermöglicht. Diese einhändige Bedienung ermöglicht ein schnelleres und sicheres Ausgießen der Getränke.As the core of the invention, it is considered to arrange the closure elements such that both their operation and the holding of the pot allows a selective pouring of the contents by one-handed operation. This one-handed operation allows a faster and safer pouring of drinks.

Es hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft im Zusammenhang mit der Erfindung erwiesen, die Verschlußelemente derart zu lagern, daß sie mittels eines Klapp-, Schwenk- oder Schiebemechanismus in eine Ausgieß- bzw. Schließposition überführbar sind. Durch eine derartige Lagerung der Verschlußelemente kann eine "Einhandbedienung", also das Bewegen des Verschlußelementes einer Kammer in die Offen- oder Schließposition bei gleichzeitigem Halten der Kanne und das bewegliche Fixieren des Verschlußelementes an der Kanne realisiert werden. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß ein Verschlußelement nicht zu Boden fallen oder verloren gehen kann. Dies wird durch einen Schiebemechanismus in Gestalt einer Verlängerung des Verschlußelementes, welches verschiebbar am Deckelelement gelagert ist, sichergestellt.It has proved to be particularly advantageous in the context of the invention to store the closure elements such that they can be transferred by means of a folding, pivoting or sliding mechanism in a pouring or closing position. By a such storage of the closure elements can be a "one-handed operation", ie the movement of the closure element of a chamber in the open or closed position while holding the pot and the movable fixing of the closure element can be realized on the pot. This has the advantage that a closure element can not fall to the ground or can be lost. This is ensured by a sliding mechanism in the form of an extension of the closure element, which is displaceably mounted on the cover element.

Um die einhändige Bedienung möglichst benutzerfreundlich zu gestalten, ist es wichtig, daß die Bedienflächen der Verschlußelemente sich bis in den Griffbereich erstrecken. Der Griffbereich ist als der mit den Fingern einer Hand erreichbare Bereich anzusehen, welchen man bei gleichzeitigem Halten der Kanne am Griffelement mit derselben Hand besitzt. Die Bedienfläche der Verschlußelemente dienen als Angriffspunkt für die Finger, um das Verschlußelement in die Offen- bzw. Schließposition zu überfuhren. Somit kann der Benutzer, welcher die Kanne einhändig am Griffelement hält, vorzugsweise mit dem Daumen derselben Hand über beispielsweise einen Schiebemechanismus, das gewünschte Verschlußelement bedienen.In order to make the one-handed operation as user-friendly as possible, it is important that the control surfaces of the closure elements extend into the grip area. The grip area is to be regarded as the reachable with the fingers of one hand area, which one has while holding the pot on the handle element with the same hand. The control surface of the closure elements serve as a point of attack for the fingers to override the closure element in the open or closed position. Thus, the user, who holds the can with one hand on the handle member, preferably with the thumb of the same hand over, for example, a sliding mechanism to operate the desired closure element.

Für Unteransprüche in Weiterbildung der Erfindung erscheint es als vorteilhaft, wenn die Kanne und/oder mindestens ein Verschlußelement ganz oder bereichsweise wärmeisolierend ausgebildet ist. Mittels der Isolierung können sowohl warme Getränke länger warm, als auch kalte Getränke länger kalt gehalten werden. Bei einer Isolierung der Trennwände der Kammer kann zu dem die Befüllung der Kanne mit Getränken unterschiedlicher Temperatur stattfinden. Beispielsweise die Aufnahme von Kaffee und Milch in einer Kanne, hiermit kann nun sehr schnell, ein Kaffee mit Milch zusammengestellt werden.For sub-claims in development of the invention, it appears to be advantageous if the can and / or at least one closure element is formed completely or partially thermally insulating. By means of the insulation both hot drinks can be kept warm for longer and cold drinks can be kept cold longer. In an isolation of the partitions of the chamber can take place to the filling of the pot with drinks of different temperatures. For example, the inclusion of coffee and milk in a pot, this can now very quickly, a coffee with milk be put together.

In vorteilhafter Weise können die Kanne und/oder die Verschlußelemente eine Dichtung aufweisen. Sie dient dazu bei Erschütterung der Kanne das Auslaufen der Getränkeflüssigkeiten zu verhindern. Zudem verbessern Dichtungen an der Öffnung der Kanne deren wärmedämmenden Eigenschaften:Advantageously, the jug and / or the closure elements may have a seal. It serves to prevent the leakage of the beverage liquids when the jug is jarred. In addition, seals at the opening of the can improve their heat-insulating properties:

Als sehr zweckdienlich kann sich ein Energiespeicher am Verschlußteil erweisen, welcher derart angeordnet ist, daß dieser das Verschlußelement in Schließstellung vorspannt. Durch den Energiespeicher, welcher z.B. in Form eines elastischen Mediums, sowohl eine Stahlfeder wie auch einen Weichgummi umfassen kann, wird der Bedienkomfort weiter erhöht. Mittels der Vorspannung des Verschlußelementes in Schließstellung muß nun nur noch beim Ausgießen eine Betätigung stattfinden, nachdem Ausgießen bewegt sich das Verschlußelement in Schließstellung. Folglich wird der Bedienperson das Zurückbewegen des Verschlußelementes erspart.As very useful, an energy storage may prove to the closure part, which is arranged such that it biases the closure element in the closed position. By the energy storage, which may include, for example in the form of an elastic medium, both a steel spring and a soft rubber, the ease of use is further increased. By means of the bias of the closure element in the closed position must now take place only when pouring an operation after pouring, the closure member moves in the closed position. Consequently, the operator is spared the return movement of the closure element.

Besonders vorteilhaft hat sich zudem das Vorsehen einer Verriegelungseinrichtung zur Verhinderung eines gleichzeitigen Öffnens mehrerer Verschlußelemente erwiesen. Da meistens nur ein Getränk gewünscht und viele Mischgetränke von seiten der Herstellern als Fertiggetränke angeboten werden und seltener ein Mischgetränk vor Ort gemischt werden muß, ist es zweckdienlich, das gleichzeitige und ungewollte Ausschenken aus mehreren Kammern über eine Verriegelungseinrichtung zu verhindern. Auch im Falle eines Mischgetränkes wie bei Kaffee mit Milch ist es von Vorteil, die beiden Flüssigkeiten nacheinander auszuschenken, da der Benutzer mit der gleichzeitigen Dosierung der beiden Flüssigkeiten überfordert sein könnte.In addition, the provision of a locking device for preventing simultaneous opening of a plurality of closure elements has proved particularly advantageous. Since usually only one drink desired and many mixed drinks are offered by the manufacturers as ready-made drinks and more rarely a mixed drink must be mixed on the spot, it is expedient to prevent the simultaneous and unwanted pouring out of several chambers via a locking device. Also in the case of a mixed beverage such as coffee with milk, it is advantageous to serve the two liquids in succession, as the user may be overwhelmed with the simultaneous dosing of the two liquids.

Um den Ausgießvorgang kontrollierter ablaufen zu lassen, ist es von Vorteil, mindestens eine Ausgießnase an der Kanne vorzusehen. Derartige Ausgießnasen dienen dem erleichterten Ausgießen des Kammerninhaltes in ein weiteres Gefäß, da sie durch ihre geometrische Form das sichere Ausgießen auch bei geringen Massenströmen gewährleisten. Es ist weiter denkbar für jede Kammer der Kanne eine jeweilige Ausgießnase vorzusehen.To run the pouring more controlled, it is advantageous to provide at least one pouring nose on the pot. Such Ausgießnasen serve to facilitate pouring the chamber contents in another vessel, as they ensure the safe pouring even at low mass flows through their geometric shape. It is also conceivable for each chamber of the pot to provide a respective pouring nose.

Wenn sich mindestens zwei Kammern bis in die Ausgießnase erstrecken, kann das Problem vermieden werden, daß bei einer Kanne mit einer geringeren Anzahl an Ausgießnasen als an Kammern es zu einer ungewollten Vermischung von Getränken im Bereich der Ausgießnasen kommen kann. Dadurch, daß die Ausgießnase unterteilt ist, kann sich das auszuschenkende Getränk nicht mit Rückständen des zuletzt ausgeschenkten Getränkes einer anderen Kammer, welche in Form von Tropfen in der Ausgießnase verharren, vermengen.If at least two chambers extend into the Ausgießnase, the problem can be avoided that in a jug with a smaller number of Ausgießnasen than chambers it can lead to an unwanted mixing of drinks in the pouring noses. Characterized in that the pouring nose is divided, the auszuschenkende drink can not mix with residues of the last poured out beverage another chamber, which remain in the pouring nose in the form of drops.

Als besonders vorteilhaft erweist sich eine Austauschbarkeit der einzelnen Kammern der Kanne. Ist beispielsweise eine Kammer entleert, kann sie schnell mit einer gefüllten ausgetauscht werden, ohne daß die gesamte Kanne zum Befüllungsort transportiert werden muß. Auch bei der Befüllung der Kanne mit erhitzten Getränken, können diese, wenn sie nicht mehr die gewünschte Temperatur aufweisen, in ihrer Kammer von der Kanne getrennt werden und mitsamt der Kammer beispielsweise in einer Mikrowelle oder anderen Erhitzern auf die gewünschte Temperatur erwärmt und anschließend wieder mit den restlichen Kammer der Kanne verbunden werden.Particularly advantageous is an interchangeability of the individual chambers of the pot. For example, if a chamber is emptied, it can be quickly replaced with a filled, without the entire jug must be transported to the filling. Even when filling the pot with heated drinks, these can, if they no longer have the desired temperature, are separated in their chamber from the pot and heated together with the chamber, for example in a microwave or other heaters to the desired temperature and then again with be connected to the remaining chamber of the pot.

Vorteilhafterweise ist das Lösen bzw. das Verbinden der Kammern über einen Mechanismus gesichert, welcher vorzugsweise im Boden der Kanne angeordnet ist Der Mechanismus zum Lösen bzw. Verbinden der Kammern kann sich aber auch im Griffbereich befinden, hierdurch wäre eine komfortable Einhandbedienung möglich. Vorzugsweise kann der Mechanismus zum Lösen bzw. Verbinden der Kammern als Drehmechanismus ausgestaltet sein, dies läßt eine kostengünstige, mechanische und sichere Handhabung zu. Grundsätzlich könnte dieser Mechanismus aber auch durch eine Magnetverbindung oder eine Schnapp-Rastverbindung realisiert werden.Advantageously, the release or the connection of the chambers is secured by a mechanism, which is preferably arranged in the bottom of the pot The mechanism for releasing or connecting the chambers but can also be in the grip area, this would be a comfortable one-handed operation possible. Preferably, the mechanism for releasing or connecting the chambers may be configured as a rotating mechanism, this allows a cost, mechanical and safe handling. In principle, this mechanism could also be realized by a magnetic connection or a snap-locking connection.

Ein weiterer Vorzug ergibt sich aus der lösbaren Verbindung der mehreren Kammern mit mindestens einem der Verschlußelemente und/oder mindestens einem der Deckelelemente. Durch das temporäre Entfernen des Verschluß- und/oder Deckelelementes wird durch die nun größere Kammeröffnung sowohl ein schnelleres Befüllen als auch ein größerer Freiraum für die Reinigung der Kanne bereit gestellt. In diesem Zusammenhang erscheint es vorteilhaft, mindestens ein Verschlußelement an mindestens ein Deckelelement anzuordnen. Dies ermöglicht eine schnellere Freigabe der Kammeröffnung, da nun das Deckelelement und das Verschlußelement nicht einzeln abgenommen werden muß.Another advantage results from the detachable connection of the plurality of chambers with at least one of the closure elements and / or at least one of the cover elements. Due to the temporary removal of the closure and / or cover element is provided by the now larger chamber opening both faster filling and a larger space for cleaning the pot. In this context, it seems advantageous to arrange at least one closure element on at least one cover element. This allows a faster release of the chamber opening, since now the lid member and the closure element does not have to be removed individually.

Bei der Anordnung der mehreren untereinander lösbaren Kammern in einem gemeinsamen Gehäuse kann sowohl eine stabilere, optisch ansprechendere als auch von den Fertigungskosten günstigere Kanne geschaffen werden. Durch die Trennung der Stabilität und der Getränkeaufnahmefunktion, welche die Kanne erfüllen muß, wird den einzelnen Komponenten (Außengehäuse und Getränkeaufnahmekammern) mehr Gestalungsfreiraum eingeräumt. So könnte eine Variante beispielsweise ein flexibles Getränkebehältnis in Form eines kostengünstigen Kunststoffbeutels und für das Außengehäuse eine Edelstahlvorrichtung vorsehen.In the arrangement of the plurality of mutually detachable chambers in a common housing both a more stable, visually appealing and cheaper by the production cost can be created. By separating the stability and the beverage intake function, which must meet the pot, the individual components (outer casing and beverage receiving chambers) more design freedom is granted. For example, a variant could be a flexible beverage container in Provide a low-cost plastic bag and for the outer housing a stainless steel device.

Um ein schnelleres Ausgießen zu ermöglichen, ist es zweckdienlich, mindestens ein Verschlußelement in Ausgießstellung verrastbar auszulegen. Hiermit wird erreicht, daß nicht während des gesamten Ausgießvorganges das Verschlußelement manuell in der Offenposition gehalten werden muß. Insbesondere bei Verwendung eines Energiespeichers zum Vorspannen des Verschlußelementes in die Schließstellung, wird eine Komfortsteigerung mittels der Verrastung des Verschlußelementes erreicht. Weiter ist es vorteilhaft, wenn mindestens ein Verschlußelement in Ausgießstellung in unterschiedlichen Ausgießquerschnitten verrastbar ist. Hierbei könnte ein erster, kleinerer Querschnitt langsames und auf präzise Dosierung abzielendes Ausgießen und ein zweiter, größerer Querschnitt ein schnelleres Ausgießen ermöglichen.In order to enable a faster pouring, it is expedient to interpret at least one closure element latched in the pouring position. This ensures that does not have to be held manually in the open position during the entire pouring the closure element. In particular, when using an energy storage device for biasing the closure element in the closed position, an increase in comfort is achieved by means of the locking of the closure element. Further, it is advantageous if at least one closure element can be latched in the pouring position in different pouring cross sections. In this case, a first, smaller cross-section could allow slow and accurate dispensing pouring and a second, larger cross-section a faster pouring.

Die Kanne 1 für Getränke weist eine Mehrzahl von Kammern 4 mit mindestens einem Deckelelement 3, mindestens einem Griffelement 2 sowie mindestens zwei Verschlußelementen 5 auf, wobei die Verschlußelemente 5 in einer ersten Position jeweils eine Kammer 4 verschließen und diese in einer zweiten Position freigeben und die Verschlußelemente 5 derart angeordnet sind, daß sowohl deren Bedienung als auch das Halten der Kanne 1 ein selektives Ausgießen des Inhaltes durch einhändige Bedienung ermöglicht.The jug 1 for drinks has a plurality of chambers 4 with at least one cover element 3, at least one handle element 2 and at least two closure elements 5, wherein the closure elements 5 in a first position in each case close a chamber 4 and release them in a second position and the Closure elements 5 are arranged such that both their operation and the holding of the pot 1 allows a selective pouring of the contents by one-handed operation.

Damit das Verschlußelement 5 nicht verloren geht oder zu Boden fallen kann, ist es mittels eines Schiebe- 6, Klapp- 6', oder Schwenkmechanismus 6" beweglich an der Kanne 1 befestigt. Der Schiebemechanismus 6 ist in Fig. 1, der Klappmechanismus 6' in Fig. 2 und der Schwenkmechanismus 6" in Fig. 8 dargestellt.In order that the closure element 5 is not lost or may fall to the ground, it is movably attached to the can 1 by means of a sliding 6, folding 6 ', or pivoting mechanism 6 " Fig. 1 , the folding mechanism 6 'in Fig. 2 and the pivot mechanism 6 "in Fig. 8 shown.

Um die Einhandbedienung möglichst komfortabel zu gestalten, ist es zweckmäßig, die Bedienflächen der Verschlußelemente 5 im Griffbereich 7 (nahe des Griffes 2) anzuordnen.In order to make the one-hand operation as comfortable as possible, it is expedient to arrange the control surfaces of the closure elements 5 in the grip area 7 (near the handle 2).

Um die wärmedämmenden Eigenschaften zu verbessern, ist es sowohl von Vorteil die Kanne 1 und/oder das Verschlußelement 5 ganz oder bereichsweise wärmeisolierend auszubilden, als auch mindestens ein Verschlußelement 5 mit einer Dichtung 9 zu versehen, wie in Fig. 2 dargestellt. Ebenfalls aus dieser Zeichnung ist ein Energiespeicher 10 am Verschlußelement 5 ersichtlich, der derart angeordnet ist, daß er das Verschlußelement 5 in Schließstellung vorspannt.In order to improve the heat-insulating properties, it is both advantageous to form the can 1 and / or the closure element 5 completely or partially thermally insulating, as well as to provide at least one closure element 5 with a seal 9, as in Fig. 2 shown. Also from this drawing, an energy storage 10 on the closure element 5 can be seen, which is arranged such that it biases the closure element 5 in the closed position.

Mittels eines Verriegelungsmechanismus wird verhindert, daß sich mehrere Verschlußelemente 5 gleichzeitig öffnen. Somit ist ein ungewolltes Vermischen mehrerer Flüssigkeiten beim Ausgießen ausgeschlossen.By means of a locking mechanism is prevented that several Open closure elements 5 simultaneously. Thus, an unwanted mixing of several liquids during pouring is excluded.

Die Kanne 1 weist eine Ausgießnase 11 zum leichteren Ausgießen auf, insbesondere ist es zweckmäßig, die Kammerntrennung bis in den Bereich der Ausgießnase 11 hinein zu erstrecken. Hiermit kann eine Vermischung des auszugießenden Getränkes und eventueller Rückstände in der Ausgießnase 11 des vorherigen Getränkes vermieden werden.The jug 1 has a pouring nose 11 for easier pouring, in particular it is expedient to extend the chamber separation into the area of the pouring nose 11. Hereby, mixing of the beverage to be poured and any residues in the pouring nose 11 of the previous beverage can be avoided.

Wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, sind einzelne Kammern 4 lösbar miteinander verbunden. Um ein ungewolltes Lösen der Kammern 4 zu unterbinden, ist es zweckmäßig, einen Mechanismus 13 zum Lösen und Verbinden der. Kammern 4 vorzusehen, dessen Bedienelement vorzugsweise im Bodenbereich der Kanne 1 angeordnet ist. Das Bedienelement des Mechanismus 13 zum Lösen und Verbinden der Kammern 4 kann aber auch im Griffbereich 7 des Griffelementes 2 angebracht sein. Der Mechanismus 13 ist in Gestalt eines Drehmechanismus realisiert, wie aus Fig. 9 hervorgeht.As in Fig. 3 shown, individual chambers 4 are releasably connected together. In order to prevent accidental release of the chambers 4, it is expedient, a mechanism 13 for releasing and connecting the. Provide chambers 4, the operating element is preferably arranged in the bottom region of the pot 1. The operating element of the mechanism 13 for releasing and connecting the chambers 4 can also be mounted in the grip area 7 of the grip element 2. The mechanism 13 is realized in the form of a rotating mechanism as shown in FIG Fig. 9 evident.

In Fig. 4 und 6 wird dargestellt, daß die mehreren Kammern 4 lösbar mit dem Verschlußelement 5 und/oder dem Deckelelement 3 verbunden sind.In Fig. 4 and 6 It is shown that the plurality of chambers 4 are detachably connected to the closure element 5 and / or the cover element 3.

Weiter ist es vorteilhaft, mindestens ein Verschlußelement 5 am Deckelelement 3 anzuordnen, dies geht aus Fig. 7 hervor, hier ist das Verschlußelement 5 verschiebbar in einem Deckelelement 3 gelagert.Further, it is advantageous to arrange at least one closure element 5 on the cover element 3, this goes out Fig. 7 out, here the closure element 5 is slidably mounted in a cover member 3.

In Zeichnungsfig. 5 ist die Anordnung mehrerer Kammern 4 in einem gemeinsamen Außengehäuse 12 dargestellt.In drawing fig. 5, the arrangement of a plurality of chambers 4 in a common outer housing 12 is shown.

Ein Verrasten des Verschlußelementes 5 in der Ausgießstellung vereinfacht die Handhabung der Kanne 1. Der Bedienkomfort kann nochmals gesteigert werden, wenn beim Überführen des Verschlußmechanismus 5 von der Offen- in die Schließposition oder umgekehrt eine Verrastung geschieht. Bei einem geringeren verrasteten Ausgießöffnungsquerschnitt kann ein kleinerer Volumenstrom ausgegossen werden und erleichtert somit ein exakteres Dosieren beim Ausgießen.A locking of the closure element 5 in the pouring position simplifies the handling of the pot 1. The ease of use can be further increased if, when transferring the closure mechanism 5 from the open to the closed position or vice versa, a catch happens. With a smaller latched Ausgießöffnungsquerschnitt a smaller volume flow can be poured, thus facilitating a more accurate dosing during pouring.
