The lid body 6 is formed into a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and is inverted and removably placed over the central opening of the draining member.

As shown in Fig. 2, the frame 9 has an upper end screwed to the outer case, a lower end fitted and connected between the lower end of the outer case and the bottom member, and a central part recessed inward from the inner container. A through hole is drilled in the center of the faucet body to pass through the rear end of the faucet body, which will be described later.

The frame body 9 has left and right side walls as left and right rising walls 20, 20 that largely protrude forward. This left,
A pair of shaft holes 21, 21 for pivotally supporting a cover body, which will be described later, are bored at the lower end of the right rising wall, respectively.

The spouting mechanism 8 includes a faucet body 14, a valve body 15 that opens and closes a liquid passage in the faucet body, a shaft rod 16 that supports the valve body, a spring 17 that constantly presses the valve body to close the liquid passage, and a shaft. It consists of an operating lever 18 that abuts the tip of the rod.

As shown in FIG. 2, the faucet main body 14 communicates a liquid passage into the inner container, and communicates with the front and rear passage portions that are parallel to the inner container water surface, and the front and rear passage portions, and is perpendicular to the inner container water surface. The liquid passage is divided into upper and lower passage portions, and the liquid passage portion extending from the front and rear passage portions to the upper and lower passage portions is a passage opening with a narrow diameter. The faucet main body 14 has screws carved on the outer periphery of the rear part, and the rear part of the faucet main body is externally connected to a through hole in the center of the frame, a predetermined part of the heat insulating material corresponding to this through hole, and a through hole bored in the inner container. It is inserted into the inner container from the front of the case, and is fixed inside the inner container via packing, washers, and nuts.

The valve body 15 is always brought into close contact with the upper surface of the upper and lower passage portions via a seal packing by a spring 17, which will be described later, to close the passage opening.

A shaft rod 16 supporting the valve body 15 is formed separately from the valve body, passes through the upper wall of the front and rear passages, passes through the tips of the front and rear passages, penetrates the passage opening, and has a screw on the center upper surface of the valve body. It is fixed and can be slid up and down. An umbrella part is integrally molded on the upper part of this shaft rod, and a tip further above the umbrella part is brought into contact with the lower surface of the operating lever. Reference numeral 19 is a cap body which is formed hollow inside, has a liquid spout bored in the bottom, and is connected to the outer circumferential wall of the upper and lower passage portions of the faucet body. The spring 17 has one end in contact with the inner lower surface of the umbrella portion of the shaft rod, and the other end in contact with the upper surface of the upper wall of the front and rear passage portions of the faucet main body, and constantly pushes up the valve body together with the shaft rod. The operating lever 18 has projecting pieces on the left and right side walls of the rear end, and the projecting pieces are loosely fitted into horizontal grooves provided on both upper side walls of the faucet body.
