DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
First Embodiment FIGS. 1 to 3 show a first embodiment. In these drawings, the stand 1 is parallel to the frame 2 and the two central pillars 3 standing in parallel to the central part of the frame 2 and the central part 3 at the rear of the frame 2 at the same interval. Thus, the rear part is composed of two rear poles 4 which are erected and whose upper part is connected by a horizontal bar 5. Reference numeral 6 denotes a reinforcing rod connecting the central column rod 3 and the rear column rod 4.
[0008]
A tank storage container 10 is rotatably provided at the tip of the central pillar 3. Here, the tank storage container 10 is a box having an open upper surface, and projecting support shafts 11 in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the central column 3 on both outer sides. It is inserted into a bearing cylinder 12 provided at the free end so as to be rotatable. The support shaft 11 of the tank storage container 10 is installed above the position of the center of gravity of the tank storage container 10 so that when the tank storage container 10 is in a free state, the upper surface open portion is directed upward. It will be.
[0009]
The tank storage container 10 can be rotated about the support shaft 11, and in this figure, when the tank storage container 10 is rotated clockwise and the upper surface opening portion becomes vertical, the posture of this position is The posture maintaining means 20 for maintaining the above is provided. Here, the posture maintaining means 20 includes a locking claw 21 provided on the outer wall of the tank storage container 10, and the locking claw 21 rotates the tank storage container 10 and the tank storage container 10 desires. It is provided at a position that engages with the horizontal bar 5 of the stand 1 when it is in the posture. The locking claw 21 is housed in the case 22 with its tip protruding from the case 22 and is urged in a direction protruding from the case 22 by a spring mounted in the case 22. Reference numeral 23 denotes a knob for manually retracting the locking claw 21.
[0010]
In the embodiment, the posture maintaining means 20 is provided on one outer wall of the tank container 10, but it is needless to say that it can be provided on both outer walls. Further, the posture maintaining means 20 is not limited to the embodiment, and means other than the locking claw structure can be applied.
[0011]
Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the locking claw 21 rotates the tank storage container 10 clockwise and immediately before the upper surface opening portion of the tank storage container 10 reaches a vertical angle, the horizontal bar 5 of the stand 1. When it passes through the horizontal bar 5, it retracts into the case 22, and when it passes through the horizontal bar 5, it protrudes again by the spring in the case 22 and engages with the horizontal bar 5. The locking claw 21 prevents the tank storage container 10 from rotating in the opposite direction, and maintains the tank storage container 10 in a posture in which the upper surface opening portion is vertical. Since the tank storage container 10 rotates with the top portion of the central pole 3 as a fulcrum, when the rear pole 4 is provided close to the tank storage container 10, the tank storage is between the rear poles 4. A space through which the bottom of the container 10 passes is required.
[0012]
In the figure, reference numeral 30 denotes a plastic tank, which is inserted from the upper surface opening portion of the tank storage container 10. An injection nozzle 31 is attached to the outlet of the poly tank 30 and has a flexible portion 32 and a cock plug 33 formed in a bellows structure. Reference numeral 34 denotes a cap attached to the injection port of the polytank 30, and reference numeral 35 denotes a fuel tank, which has a structure that can be removed from the stove and carried.
[0013]
In FIG. 2, when the poly tank 30 is inserted into the tank storage container 10 and the tank storage container 10 is rotated in the clockwise direction, when the posture maintaining means 20 passes the horizontal bar 5, the horizontal tank 5 engages with the horizontal bar 5. The storage container 10 is prevented from rotating in the opposite direction. The plastic tank 30 shown in FIG. Next, the injection nozzle 31 is inserted into the injection port of the fuel tank 35, the cock plug 33 is loosened, and the kerosene in the polytank 30 is supplied to the fuel tank 35. At this time, if the inside of the poly tank 30 becomes negative pressure and the fuel supply is interrupted, the cap 34 may be loosened to send air into the poly tank 30.
[0014]
When refueling is finished, tighten the cock. At this time, the tank storage container 10 and the polytank 30 may remain in a horizontal state until the next refueling. However, if the engagement between the locking claw 21 and the horizontal bar 5 is released, the tank storage container 10 and the polytank 30 are Return to the original state as shown in FIG.
[0015]
Second Embodiment FIGS. 4 to 6 show a second embodiment. In these drawings, members denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment are the same members as those of the first embodiment, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.
[0016]
In the stand 1, a central pole 3 provided on the underframe 2 is formed integrally with the rear pole 4 via an inclined portion 3 a. The central pole 3 is provided with a side bar 7 extending rearward, and a posture maintaining means 20 is provided at the free end of the side bar 7. Here, the posture maintaining means 20 is a U-shaped engagement frame 25 provided at the free end of the side bar 7, and the engagement frame 25 is rotatably provided on the side bar 7. .
[0017]
The tank storage container 10 is formed by integrally forming a front side frame 10b, a rear side frame 10c, and a bottom frame 10d on a frame-shaped edge frame 10a, and is supported by a support shaft 11 provided on the edge frame 10a. The central pillar 3 is provided so as to be rotatable.
[0018]
When the tank storage container 10 is rotated clockwise in each figure, the tank storage container 10 is rotated while the rear side frame 10c pushes the engagement frame 25 of the posture maintaining means 20. The engagement frame 25 is engaged with the rear side frame 10b at the start of rotation. However, the engagement frame 25 is provided at the corners of the rear side frame 10c and the bottom frame 10d as the tank storage container 10 continues to rotate. Go over the part and reach the front side frame 10b on the opposite side. At this time, when the engagement frame 25 gets over the stopper 26 provided near the bottom of the front side frame 10b, the rotation of the tank storage container 10 is stopped.
[0019]
As shown in FIG. 6, the tank storage container 10 is prevented from rotating in the opposite direction because the stopper 26 is engaged with the engagement frame 25, and the posture in the horizontal state is maintained. The procedure for pouring the contents from the plastic tank 30 inserted into the tank storage container 10 is the same as in the first embodiment.
[0020]
In addition, a protective band 36 is provided on the edge frame 10a of the tank storage container 10 to prevent the plastic tank from falling off. The protective band 36 attaches a hook fitting 37 provided at the tip to a locking hole 38 provided in the edge frame 10a to prevent the poly tank from dropping off when the tank storage container 10 is inclined.
[0021]
Although the protective band 36 is provided in the second embodiment, it is needless to say that the protective band 36 can also be provided in the first embodiment.
