Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention relates to a kettle.

[Conventional technology]

The kettle consists of a kettle body and a lid, and the kettle body has an opening for fitting the lid, a spout, and a hook-shaped handle.

In addition, as shown in Figure 5, in order to attach the handle (RO) to the kettle body (A) of a normal kettle, the handle mounting bracket (C), commonly known as a Daruma, is fixed in advance to the kettle body with rivets, and the handle (RO) is screwed to this metal fitting. It is fixed with a hole and the handle can be raised or lowered.

Similarly to FIG. 5, the whistle kettle shown in FIG. 6 has a handle attachment fitting fixed in advance to the kettle body with rivets, and then a plastic handle is fixed to this fitting with screws so that it cannot be raised or lowered.

Nu, Ru are the lids, O, Wa are the spouts, Ka is the opening/closing small lid with a built-in whistle that closes the spout Wa, and Ta is the push part to open the small lid.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

(1) The handle attachment part of the conventional kettle described above requires two separate handle fittings and six handle studs, and has a large number of parts.

(2) Since there are many parts, the number of assembly steps is also large, and the assembly process including the riveting process is complicated.

The purpose of this invention is to provide a handle mounting part that does not require a separate handle fitting and has a simple assembly process.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to solve the above problems, this invention consists of a hem ring that connects and fixes the handle attachment part to the rising edge of the lid fitting opening, and the hem ring is made of a heat-resistant reinforced plastic molded inside. The circumferential surface is provided with a bulging annular portion having an inner diameter that matches the outer diameter of the rising edge of the lid fitting opening and a vertical width smaller than the height of the rising edge, and the outer circumferential portion has a handle mounting piece extending upwardly. The hem-wrapping ring is connected in a protruding manner, and is detached by being externally fitted onto the rising edge of the lid fitting opening and press-bent outward so that the upper end of the rising edge rests on the upper edge of the bulging annular portion. The structure of the kettle handle mounting part is such that it cannot be fixed.

[Effect]

By fitting the hem ring onto the rising edge of the lid fitting opening and pressing and bending the upper end of the rising edge outward, the hem ring is firmly fixed to the kettle body, and the handle attachment piece of the hem ring is firmly fixed to the kettle body. The installation of the handle is completed by connecting the handle to the handle using rivets or screws.

〔Example〕

Figure 4 shows the main parts of the kettle according to the present invention,
The illustrated kettle is a whistle kettle, and 1 is a kettle body, 2 is an opening into which a lid 3 is fitted, 4 is a spout, and 5 is a handle.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a hem ring for fitting onto the rising edge 7 of the opening 2 in place of the conventional handle attachment fitting, and is made of heat-resistant fiber-reinforced plastic, and as shown in FIG. It is provided with a bulging annular portion 8 having an inner diameter that matches the dimensions and a vertical width dimension smaller than the height dimension of the rising edge 7.

Further, handle attachment pieces 9 are connected to the outer peripheral side of the hem ring 6 at two diagonal positions so as to protrude upward.

A flat recess 11 is formed on the opposing outer surface of both handle attachment pieces 9, into which a flat protrusion 10 formed on the opposite inner surface of the lower end of the handle 5 is fitted.
A recess 13 is formed on the peripheral wall of the handle to allow the projection 12 formed on one side of the periphery of the flat projection 10 of the handle to move within an angle range of about 100 degrees.
The formation position is such that the handle can be laid down horizontally on one side, and when the handle is pulled up, it can be moved from an upright position to the other side.
It is designed to stop at a position that has rotated about 10 degrees and maintain a standing position. 14 is a hole through which a handle attachment stud 15 is passed.

To attach the hem ring 6 to the kettle body 1 (this kettle is shown as an example having a whistle 16 and a whistle reversing mechanism 17 in the spout 4), attach this ring to the rising edge 7 of the lid fitting opening 2. The upper end of the rising edge 7 is press-bent outward so as to rest on the upper edge of the bulging annular portion 8, thereby achieving firm fixation.

Note that 18 is a protrusion for pressing the circumferential surface of the lid 3, which is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the hem ring 6 above the bulging annular part 8, and at least the vicinity of this protrusion is hollow. The parts other than the upper part are formed into a tongue-like piece by a notch 19, and its elasticity prevents the lid from coming off freely.

〔effect〕

The structure of the kettle handle attachment part of this invention has the following effects.

(1) The handle attachment part is a hem-wrapping ring, which is externally fitted onto the rising edge of the lid fitting opening of the kettle body, and the upper end of the rising edge is press-bent outward, so that the press-bent part is attached to the inside of the hem-wrap ring. Since the upper edge of the bulging annular portion is pressed down, it can be firmly fixed and cannot be removed.

(2) Handle mounting pieces are integrally provided at two diagonal positions of the hem ring in a manner that projects upwards, so handles can be attached to these mounting pieces with rivets or screws, eliminating the need for conventional separate mounting. There is no need for mounting studs on the kettle side, which are found on metal fittings (daruma), and the number of parts can be reduced accordingly.

(3) Only one assembly process is required: bending the press to attach the hem ring.

(4) Since the press bend at the upper end of the rising edge of the lid fitting opening is directed outward, drainage inside the kettle body is improved.
