Good. When the position of the handle is installed at the end of the door body, an auxiliary cutout is required on the plate surface of the front panel 21 or the like facing the cutout so that the operator can put his hand on the handle. Moreover, it is preferable to provide a blindfold plate in the notch, so that the inside is not exposed and the blindfold can be formed in a box shape to cover the notch so as not to leave a gap. This blindfold plate is fixed to the plate surface side of the front panel 21 or the like, and can be concealed at the same time when there is an auxiliary cutout portion.

  In the case of such a handle, the fire extinguisher door 26 or the piping door 15 is opened so as to be reversed by about 180 degrees by laterally opening to the left or right by a shaft mechanism by a hinge (not shown) at the other end, and the handle is gripped. The operator can perform the opening operation while holding the handle until the fire extinguisher door 26 or the piping door 15 is fully opened. Note that the shaft mechanism here is a hidden hinge, which does not fully open up to 180 degrees, but can open up to about 90 degrees or more and open in a substantially inverted state.

  Thus, the door using this invention can be applied not only to the fire hydrant door 14 but also to each door, and the shaft mechanism is not limited to the hinge but may be a bearing mechanism or the like. Further, the shape of the blindfold is free as long as the inside is not exposed.

  As described above, the fire hydrant device 100 according to this embodiment includes the hose 5 provided with the nozzle 60 connected to the water supply source in the casing constituted by the main body 10 and the front panel 21. Since the door 14 is disposed, the door 14 has a hinge 14a at one end and is opened, and a notch 44 is formed at the other end, and the rod-like handle 43 is disposed at the notch 44. The operator can continue to hold the handle 43 regardless of the angle during the opening operation of the door 14.
