  The tabletop pot is often used in a predetermined place such as a living table, but when it is assumed to be used in a portable manner such as a picnic, when carrying it in a state of containing a beverage, It is necessary to prevent the beverage from leaking due to the operation lever operating. As disclosed in Patent Document 3, it is necessary to provide a movable member (lock member) for stopping the operation of the operation lever between the operation lever and the plug body in which the operation lever is rotatably incorporated. This increases the number of parts and increases the manufacturing cost.

Thus, the present invention proposes a beverage container in which a simple structure is added and the spout shape is changed without changing the internal structure of the stopper so that the operation lever does not move when carried. .

  The beverage container according to the present invention includes a container body, a shoulder member provided with a spout and a handle and fixed to the opening of the container body, an on-off valve for opening and closing the outlet and the outlet, and an opening / closing operation of the on-off valve. A beverage container having a lever for performing operation and having a plug body attached to an opening portion of a shoulder member, wherein the plug body mounting position direction can be changed and selected by 180 degrees, and the shape of the spout and the operation lever Is formed such that when the operating lever is positioned on the pouring spout, the operation lever abuts on the pouring spout and the operation is restrained.

  Thus, the beverage container is attached with the stopper after the stopper is removed and the beverage is poured into the container from the opening of the shoulder member. When mounting the plug body, the mounting direction can be selected.When the plug is mounted so that the final position direction of the operating lever is on the handle side, the valve of the operating lever can be opened and closed. When the operation lever is mounted so that the final position direction is the pour spout direction, the operation lever comes into contact with the spout and the valve opening / closing operation is stopped.

  In the beverage container according to claim 2 of the present invention, the plug body mounting structure is such that the plug body is screwed and mounted on the shoulder member, and the thread provided on the outer periphery of the plug body is formed by opening the shoulder member. It is formed in a double thread with respect to the thread provided on the inner peripheral surface, and the direction of the plug body at the final screwing position (depending on the direction of the plug body at the start of the threading of the shoulder member to the thread) ( The direction of the plug body when screwed to a depth at which the packing of the plug body functions is different by 180 degrees.

  Further, in the beverage container according to claim 3 of the present invention, in the direction (left-right direction) in which the stopper mounting structure is perpendicular to the line connecting the spout, the handle portion, and the operation lever, the inner peripheral surface of the shoulder member is appropriately located. It is a detachable lever that protrudes from the side of the plug body with an urging force and engages with the locking recess provided in the, and is unlocked by a reversing operation against the urging force. If the left and right are reversed, the operation lever is mounted on the spout, and the operation of the operation lever is stopped.

  The configuration of the present invention is as described above, and the operation of the operation lever can be stopped by changing the mounting direction of the plug body. In particular, the spout and the operation lever can be provided without a lock mechanism for the operation lever. By appropriately determining the shape, water leakage during carrying can be prevented.

The whole perspective view at the time of the use. The whole perspective view at the time of the carrying.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. 1 to 6 show a first embodiment of the present invention. This beverage container is mainly used for a tabletop, and is composed of a container body 1, a shoulder member 2, and a plug body 3. It is configured.

  The container body 1 is a stainless steel vacuum double structure composed of an outer container part 11 and an inner container part 12, the inner and outer container parts are welded and sealed at the opening, and a mounting recess 13 is provided around the outer periphery of the opening. The receiving ridge 14 is provided around.

  The shoulder member 2 includes a cylindrical main body 21, a spout 22, and a handle 23. The cylindrical main body 21 forms a screw thread 24 on the inner peripheral surface of the opening and covers the opening end of the container body 1. The mounting recess 13 is fitted and locked. In particular, the screw 24 is a 1-pitch screw, and is provided with a stopper 25 that stops screwing rotation at a predetermined position when a plug body 3 to be described later is screwed.

  Further, the spout 22 and the handle 23 are formed in a shape corresponding to a predetermined operation (open / close operation enabled / open / close operation blocked) of the operation lever 33 of the plug body 3 when the plug body 3 to be described later is screwed. .

  The plug body 3 includes a valve body opening / closing mechanism 32 and an operation lever 33 for opening and closing the valve. The plug body 31 is engaged with and integrated with the lower member 31a and the lower member 31a. It consists of a cover member 31b.

  The lower member 31a includes a thread 311 that is screwed into the thread 24 of the shoulder member 2, an outflow path 313 that forms a flow path from the outflow port 312 to the spout 22 on the bottom surface of the stopper, and the receiving protrusion 14 when mounted. In particular, the thread 311 is formed as a double thread in which the thread having the same pitch as the thread 24 is shifted by a half pitch.

  The upper cover member 31b projects the operation portion 331 outward from the plug body 31 on the side opposite to the position where the outflow passage 313 is formed, and holds the operation lever 33 so as to be swingable.

  The valve opening / closing mechanism 32 includes a valve body 321 that opens and closes the outlet 312 on the bottom surface of the plug body 31, a valve shaft 322 that lifts the valve body 321 upward, a top portion 323 that is detachably provided on the top of the valve shaft 322, A valve shaft ridge 324 that is interposed between the top portion 323 and the plug body 31 to lift and bias the valve shaft 322, and is interposed between the plug body 31 and the valve body 321 to bias the valve body downward. It is provided with the valve body ridge 325. The valve shaft ridge 324 has a stronger biasing force than the valve body ridge 325.

  Thus, the beverage container is fitted with the stopper 3 after the stopper 3 is removed and the beverage is poured into the container 1 from the opening of the shoulder member 2. Since the plug body 3 is mounted with double threads, the direction of the plug body 3 at the final screwing position differs by 180 degrees depending on the direction of the plug body 3 when the shoulder member 2 is screwed into the thread 24. To do. Accordingly, when used, when the operating lever 33 is turned to the spout 22 side and rotated by 180 degrees and screwed and attached, the packing 314 presses the receiving protrusion 14 and the plug 3 is attached, and the operating lever 33 is attached to the handle portion 23. Become the side.

  Therefore, when the operation lever 33 is pressed downward to operate and the container body 1 is tilted, the beverage in the container body 1 is poured from the spout 22 into a cup or the like.

  More specifically, when the pressure in the container body 1 is equal to or higher than atmospheric pressure due to the heat of the beverage in the container body 1, when the operation lever 33 is pushed down, only the valve shaft 322 is lowered. When the pressure in the container body 1 is released from the gap between the valve shaft 322 and the valve body 321 and excessive pressure in the container body 1 is opened, the valve body 321 descends and flows due to the urging force of the valve body ridge 325. The outlet 312 is opened to allow the beverage in the container body 1 to be poured out.

  Further, when the plug body 3 is screwed and attached, the operation lever 33 is set to the handle portion 23 side, and then rotated 180 degrees and screwed and attached, the packing 314 presses the receiving protrusion 14 and the plug body 3 is attached. At the same time, the operating lever 33 is positioned above the pouring spout 22, the operating lever 33 comes into contact with the upper end of the side edge of the pouring spout 22, and the lowering operation (valve opening operation) of the operating lever 33 is stopped. Therefore, when the beverage is stored and carried in a picnic or the like, the operation lever is unnecessarily operated and water leakage does not occur.

  Similarly to the conventional instrument, when the upper cover member 31b is removed and the top part 323 is removed from the valve shaft 322, the valve shaft ridge 324 is removed, and when the valve shaft 322 is pulled downward, the valve body 321 is also separated, It is easily disassembled and easy to clean.

  FIGS. 7 to 9 show a second embodiment of the present invention, which includes a container body 1, a shoulder member 2a, and a plug body 3a as in the first embodiment.

  The mounting structure of the container body 1 and the shoulder member 2a is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the same numbers indicate the same configurations.

  The shoulder member 2a in this second embodiment is provided with a locking recess 26 on the inner peripheral surface of the opening of the plug body 31a in a direction perpendicular to the line connecting the spout 22 and the handle 23.

  The plug body 3a is provided with an opening / closing valve mechanism and an operation lever 33 for opening / closing the valve on the plug body 31a, and an attachment / detachment lever 34 is provided on the upper surface, and from the side surface of the plug body 31a by the operation of the attachment / detachment lever 34. The locking part 35 is moved in and out, and the locking part 26 is locked and unlocked to attach and detach the plug body 3a.

  In particular, when the relationship between the spout 22 and the operation lever 33 is changed by 180 degrees from the mounting direction when the plug 3a is used (FIG. 8), the operation lever 33 is positioned above the spout 22 and the operation lever 33 is operated. The shapes of the spout 22 and the operation lever 33 are set so that the portion 331 contacts the upper edge of the spout 22 and the lowering operation (valve opening operation) of the operation lever 33 is stopped.

  Therefore, when a beverage is stored and carried in a picnic or the like, if the stopper 3a is attached in the opposite direction to that when it is used (FIG. 9), the operation lever will not operate unnecessarily, preventing water leakage during carrying. It can be done.
