Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a liquid container with a liquid injection port, and particularly relates to a liquid container having support legs.

[Conventional technology]

A liquid container with a liquid filling port provided at the bottom of the body wall and allowing liquid to be poured by gravity by opening the valve of the liquid filling port can be used as a simple drinking water supply container outdoors. It is being In such a liquid container, the liquid filling port is provided at a low position near the bottom of the container so that the liquid inside the container can be used without leaving any remaining liquid. Therefore, if such a container is placed directly on a table, etc., there will not be enough space under the injection port to receive the tip.
It is common to have legs.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the case of the container with three folding legs installed at the bottom of the container, it is necessary to attach legs with a locking mechanism, which increases the number of parts and increases the number of parts.
Since storage space for the legs is required, the height of the container increases, and there are other problems such as the need to raise and fold the three legs.

The object of this invention is to provide a liquid container that solves the above-mentioned problems by attaching members serving as legs so that they can move up and down around the container body.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, this idea
An annular support leg of a desired height is rotatably fitted to the lower part of the container body, and two vertically parallel engagement grooves are formed in the support leg fitting portion on the outer periphery of the container body into which the support leg is fitted; A recess having the same depth as these grooves is formed between one end of the upper groove and one end of the lower groove, and an engaging protrusion protruding from the inner surface of the support leg is fitted into one of the engaging grooves. , and the width of the recess in the circumferential direction is larger than the length of the engagement protrusion.

[Effect]

When using a support leg, rotate it around the container body by the required angle to remove the engagement protrusion protruding from the inner surface of the support leg from the upper engagement groove, and position the engagement protrusion in the recess. In this state, the support leg is made to protrude downward from the container, and by further rotating the support leg in a certain direction, the engagement protrusion is fitted into the lower engagement groove, and the relative relationship between the support leg and the container body in the vertical direction is prevent movement. To retract the support leg, perform the operation in reverse order.

〔Example〕

The liquid container of the embodiment shown in the drawings has a container body 1 covered with a lid 2 and a liquid injection port 3 provided relatively below the container body 1. Below the liquid injection port 3, a step 4 (see FIG. 2) is formed around the container body 1, and a support leg insertion portion 5 is formed. The support leg 6 is formed of an annular body having a required height, and is rotatably fitted around the above-mentioned fitting part 5.
An engagement protrusion 7 of a certain length is formed on the inner surface of the support leg 6 along its upper edge.

Further, in the fitting part 5, an upper engagement groove 9 and a lower engagement groove 10 are vertically opposed and formed in parallel in a part along the step 4 and a part along the bottom surface 8.
Further, a recess 11 having the same depth as the grooves 9 and 10 is formed at one end of both the engagement grooves 9 and 10.
The recess 11 has a somewhat larger width than the engagement projection 7. Further, a click 12 is formed at the entrance of each of the engagement grooves 9 and 10.

Note that similar locking mechanisms are formed at three locations around the entire circumference.

The embodiment of this invention has the above configuration,
Normally, the engaging protrusion 7 is engaged with the upper engaging groove 9, and the device is carried, stored, etc. in this state.

When using the support leg 6, rotate the support leg 6 so that the engagement protrusion 7 moves into the recess 11 as shown in FIG. The supporting leg 6 and the container body 1 are moved relative to each other, and the supporting leg 6 is further rotated in the opposite direction to the front, so that the engaging protrusion 7 is engaged with the lower engaging groove 10.

As a result, the support legs 6 protrude below the container body 1, as shown by the chain lines in FIG. 2 and the solid lines in FIG.

Note that the lower engagement groove 10 may be formed on the opposite side of the upper engagement groove 9 with the recess 11 as the center, as shown in FIG.

Further, in the above embodiment, the liquid injection port 3 is formed above the step 4, but as shown in FIG. 13, the liquid injection port 3 can be provided near the bottom surface 8.

〔effect〕

As described above, this device fits the annular support leg around the container body and locks the support leg in the protruding state or the retracted state by rotating it by a certain angle. Therefore, the height of the container does not increase when the support legs are not used, and the number of parts can be reduced. Furthermore, the operation of protruding and retracting the support leg is extremely easy.
