BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

This electric rice cooker has a rice cooker main body 1 constructed so that a rice cooker (not shown) can be housed therein, and can be opened and closed via a hinge unit 3 at one end of the rice cooker main body 1. And a lid body 2 which is pivotally supported.

The outer peripheral surface of the rice cooker body 1 has a substantially cylindrical outer case 4 formed by integrally molding a body portion 4a and a shoulder portion 4b made of synthetic resin, and a synthetic material joined to the lower end of the outer case 4. It is composed of a resin bottom case 5 (see FIG. 3). An engaging projection 6 is integrally provided at the lower end of the outer case 4, and the engaging projection 6 is engaged with an engaging groove 7 formed at the upper end of the bottom case 5, thereby Case 4
And the bottom case 5 are to be joined together.

On the front side of the outer case shoulder portion 4b, there is provided an operation panel portion 8 equipped with various switches and a liquid crystal display device.

On both sides of the outer case shoulder 4b,
A substantially U-shaped handle 9 for carrying the electric rice cooker is rotatably supported. Reference numeral 10 is a lock mechanism for maintaining the closed state of the lid body 2, and 11 is a steam discharge port.

The outer case body 4 of the rice cooker body 1
On both lower ends of both sides of a (that is, in the vicinity of the joint with the bottom case 5), a chamoji receiver 13 for inserting the handle 12a of the rice chamomile 12 from above is integrally formed.
The chamoji receiver 13 is integrally formed at a position directly above the projecting piece 6 in the outer case 4, and has a U-shaped cross-section having an insertion hole 14 which is opened in the drawing direction of the molding die and penetrates vertically. It is composed of members. In this case, the insertion hole 14 constitutes an insertion portion for inserting and supporting the handle 12a of the rice chamomile 12. The insertion hole 14
It is preferable that the width of the handle is such that the handle 12a of the rice chamomile 12 can be inserted into the eye. This way,
The outer case 4 can be molded at the same time. The reason why the chamomile receivers 13 are formed on both sides of the rice cooker main body 1 is to accommodate right-handed and left-handed people.

As in the present embodiment, the upper space of the electric rice cooker is designed so that the upper surface of the rice chamomile 12 is lower than the upper surface of the lid body 2 with the handle 12a of the rice chamomile 12 inserted and supported. It is desirable because it will not be restricted. In addition, in the present embodiment, the rice chamomile 12 is positioned outside the grip 9 (in other words, when the handle 12a of the rice chamomile 12 is inserted into and supported by the chamoji receiver 13). The padding portion A is provided so as to be located outside the locus).
In this way, the rice chamomile 12 does not interfere with the turning operation of the handle 9.

By the way, the chamoji receiver 13 is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 5, it may be configured by a member having a U-shaped cross section having a bottomed recessed groove 15 whose upper side is opened. As shown in FIG. 5 , the chamoji receiver 13 is provided with a square engagement hole 13f. The handle 1 of the rice chamomile 12 which is composed of a U-shaped member having a cross section
Square bar 2 inserted into the engaging hole 13f at the tip of 2a
1 may be formed. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 6 , the insertion hole 14 of the chamoji receiver 13 may be inclined so as to separate from the outer surface of the rice cooker body 1 as it goes upward.

[0018]

According to the invention of claim 1, a synthetic resin is used.
The upper edge of the bottom case made of synthetic resin against the lower edge of the outer case
Rice cooker main body that combines the parts, and the shoulder of the outer case
An electric rice cooker comprising a carrying handle pivotally supported on both sides so as to be rotatable, and an operation panel portion provided on a front surface of the outer case, wherein
At the lower ends of the left and right side surfaces sandwiching the operation panel section, there is a U-shaped cross section with an insertion section in the direction of removing the molding die so that the rod-shaped section formed at the tip of the handle of rice chamomile can be inserted and supported. Since the camoji receiver is integrally formed, it is possible to form the camoji receiver when molding the outer case , which is an existing member that constitutes the electric rice cooker, and there is no need for a structure for attaching the camoji receiver. there is an effect that say that.
Also, change the shape of the insertion part in the chamoji receiver to
A shape that can insert and support the rod-shaped part formed at the tip of the handle
By making it into a shape,
There is also an effect that the insertion support becomes reliable. Also, the outside case
