The bottom member 5 is force-fitted to the lower end of the outer case. Reference numeral 13 denotes a heat insulating material made of a synthetic resin material such as styrene foam, which is filled in the gaps between the outer case and the inner container, the drainage member and the inner container, and the bottom member and the inner container.

The lid body 7 is formed into a cylindrical shape with a bottom, and is inverted and removably placed over the central opening of the draining member.

The pouring mechanism 8 includes a faucet body 14, a valve body 15 that opens and closes a liquid passage within the faucet body, and a shaft rod 1 that supports the valve body.
6, a spring 17 that constantly presses the valve body to close the liquid passage, and an operating lever 18 that abuts the tip of the shaft. As shown in FIG. 3, 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 has a liquid passage that is perpendicular to the inner container water surface. It is divided into an upper and lower passage portion, and the liquid passage portion 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 tightly abutted against the upper surface of the upper and lower passage portions via a seal packing by a spring 17, which will be described later, and closes 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.
This projecting piece serves as a pivot point on which the operating lever can move up and down. The operation lever of this pouring mechanism may be operated by a screw type knob instead of a spring.

A rail groove 2 is provided with a collar piece 20 that protrudes outwardly, and a rail groove 2 in which a cover body (to be described later) slides on the front surface of the upper and lower walls.
1 is provided for each. The rail groove 21 has a long length in the right direction so that a cover body, which will be described later, can slide rightward from a state in which the dispensing mechanism is closed to a state in which the dispensing mechanism is completely opened.

The cover body 10 is made of a translucent synthetic resin material.
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 3, it is formed in the shape of an internal hollow box without a rear side wall and a left side wall, and slides that slide along the rail grooves 21 of the frame body 9 are provided at the rear ends of the upper and lower walls. A movable piece 22 is provided and fitted into the frame.
The cover body has a finger hook 23 facing forward on the left side of the front wall.
is installed protrudingly. When the dispensing mechanism is closed, the cover body 10 covers the dispensing mechanism 8 and the left side surface of the finger hook 23 of the cover body is in contact with the flange piece 20 of the frame body 9, as shown in FIG. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the cover body is open to the right, but the flange of the frame is protruded to the right, and the rail groove is long to the left.
The cover body may be opened to the left, or the cover body may be left and right as a pair of symmetrical cover bodies.
It may also be a double door that can be opened and closed along the right rail groove.

When dispensing liquid, first put your finger on the finger hook 23 of the cover body and slide the sliding piece 22 of the cover body to the right along the rail groove 21 of the frame body 9, as shown in FIG. If you do this, the pouring mechanism 8 will release the cover body 1.
