Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a coffee maker comprising a water heater body with a hot water nozzle plate and a heat insulating plate protruding from the main body.

(b) Prior Art Conventionally, coffee makers have been known in which a hot water nozzle plate is provided on the upper side of the water heater body, and a heat insulating plate is provided on the lower side thereof, respectively.

However, according to the above-mentioned conventional structure, the hot water nozzle plate and the heat insulation plate are fixed to the water heater body in a protruding manner, which causes problems in that they get in the way, are inconvenient to carry, and are not easy to store. .

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention The purpose of the invention is to provide a coffee maker with excellent storage and transportability.

(d) Means for solving the problem For this reason, the present invention is characterized in that the water heater body of the coffee maker is provided with a hot water nozzle plate and a heat insulation plate that can be opened both upwards and downwards, so that it can be folded. It is said that

(e) Function The coffee maker of the present invention has such a structure, so when in use, the hot water nozzle plate and the heat insulating plate are opened on both sides, but when not in use, they can be folded to eliminate overflow. , storage and transportability are greatly improved.

(f) Examples Examples of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 are perspective views of the coffee maker when not in use and when in use, respectively.

The coffee maker has a hot water nozzle plate 2 and a heat insulation plate 3 provided on one side of a water heater body 1 so as to be openable and closable, and legs 4 are pivotally attached to the heat insulation plate 3.

FIGS. 3 and 4 respectively show the internal structure of the hot water nozzle plate and the heat retaining plate when the coffee maker is not in use and when it is in use.

The hot water tap nozzle plate 2 is pivotally attached to the water heater main body 1 at its upper part by a pin 5, and a protruding piece 6 that acts as a spring is integrally formed on the pivoting part side of the hot water tap nozzle plate 2. When 2 rotates upward,
It can be supported on a cantilever and held open.
The heat insulating plate 3 is pivotally attached to the water heater body 1 at its lower part with pins 7. The legs 4 become legs of the heat retaining plate 3 when the heat retaining plate 3 is rotated and opened. The main body pipe 8, the tapping nozzle pipe 9, and the heat retaining pipe 10 are connected by elastic joint pipes 11, 12, and 13 made of resin, respectively.

With this configuration, the tapping nozzle plate 2 is rotated upward from the unused state shown in FIGS. 1 and 3 to open it,
Next, when the heat insulating plate 3 with the legs 4 is rotated and opened,
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, a tap nozzle 2,
The heat insulating plate 3 is in a used state in which it is protruded and fixed to one side of the water heater body 1. On the other hand, when it is time to put it away, the heat retaining plate 3 may be folded, and the hot water tap nozzle plate 2 may be further folded against the spring force of the projecting piece 6. In the structure of the embodiment, the heat insulating plate and the hot water tap nozzle plate are folded in this order, but it goes without saying that the design can be easily changed so that the relationship can be reversed or folded in any order. At this time, the means for folding and holding the hot water nozzle plate 2 and the heat insulating plate 3 on one side of the water heater main body 1 is an appropriate catching means, such as a magnet, a means for hooking a protrusion into a hole, etc., by pushing and pulling a well-known lid. A locking means that can be opened and closed can be used.

Figures 5 and 6 show another embodiment of the present invention, in which the hot water nozzle plate 2 and the heat insulation plate 3 are pivotally connected without using the pins 5 and 7 of the above embodiment. It is. That is, the joint pipe 14 that connects the main body pipe 8 and the hot water tap nozzle pipe 9 or the heat retention pipe 10 can be connected to the shaft pipe 15 made of hard resin, and the shaft pipe 15 and the main body pipe 8 can be connected. The hot water nozzle pipe 9 or the heat retaining pipe 10 is rotatably connected directly to the shaft pipe 15.

In this way, the hot water tap nozzle pipe 9 and the heat retention part pipe 10 are connected to the shaft pipe 15, and the hot water tap nozzle 2,
By pivotally mounting the heat insulating plate 3, a pivot pin is not required, the number of assembly steps is reduced, and a coffee maker with a beautiful finish can be obtained.

(g) Effects of the invention As explained above, in this invention, the hot water nozzle plate is pivotally mounted to the upper part of the water heater body so that it can be supported in a cantilever manner, and the heat insulating plate is pivotally mounted to the lower part of the water heater body. While it can be used in the same way as a conventional coffee maker, the hot water nozzle plate and heat insulation plate can be rotated and folded when not in use.
This eliminates protrusions and makes it more compact, making it much easier to carry and store in a cupboard.
