Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a hinge device for a pot or the like having a lid for opening and closing a container opening.

BACKGROUND ART Conventional hinge devices for pots, etc. of this type include, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-27829.
The structure was as shown in Figure 4.

That is, the lid body 5 having the lid cover 50 on the lower surface
1 was rotatably locked to a hinge stand 53 provided at the rear of the spout 52, thereby forming a hinge device for the lid 51 that opens and closes the opening of the container 54.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, when the lid body 51 is opened, water droplets adhering to the lid cover 50 are
0 to the hinge stand 53, and then the spout 5.
This has the disadvantage that the floor gets wet through the body 55 on which the product 2 is placed.

In addition, since water droplets travel through the metal body 55,
This body 55 also has the disadvantage that rust occurs.

The present invention solves these problems,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a hinge device for a pot, etc., in which water droplets attached to a lid cover do not wet the body or floor.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a lid hinge device for opening and closing the opening of a container attached to the inner periphery of the spout. A hinge stand is erected on the upper surface of the spout which is in contact with the spout, a rotating shaft is provided to rotatably and removably support the lid body on the hinge stand, and this rotating shaft is positioned above the upper surface of the spout, and The lid is provided with a rib close to the rotating shaft, the tip of which is located closer to the container than the hinge base when opened.

Effect According to the above configuration, when the lid is opened, water droplets adhering to the lid cover flow down the lid cover, but since the rotation axis at the bottom of the lid cover is located above the spout, the water is condensed in the container. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent water droplets from wetting the body and floor.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. In Figures 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a spout made of heat-resistant synthetic resin such as polypropylene resin, and this spout 1 is placed on the upper end of a body 2 made of printed steel plate, and is placed on the inside of the body 2. Stepped part 1
A container 4 for filling water is secured to a through a packing 3. A base 5 is provided at the lower end of the body 2, and the base 5 and the bottom surface of the container 4 are screwed together to form a main body.

A lid 6 is located above the spout 1 to open and close the opening of the container 4, and the bottom surface of the lid 6 is covered with a lid cover 7 made of stainless steel.
A rotating shaft 8 is installed at the rear of the rotary shaft 8.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a substantially box-shaped hinge stand provided on the rear upper surface of the spout 1 so as to protrude upward.
The opening groove portion 9a and the locking groove portion 9b are connected to each other in an L-shaped cross section to form an L-shaped groove 10. The rotary shaft 8 of the lid 6 is inserted into the L-shaped groove 10 through the opening groove 9a, and is positioned in the locking groove 9b, so that the lid 6 is pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable.

11 is a rib provided at a position corresponding to the hinge base 9 of the lid body 6, and the tip of this rib 11 is the first one.
As shown in the figure, the hinge stand 9 is provided so as to be located closer to the container 4 than the wall surface.

In FIG. 2, 12 is a recess provided on both sides of the hinge stand 9, and the recess 12 forms an inclined surface that becomes lower toward the container 4 side.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the lid body 6 is opened as shown in FIG. The water is directly condensed into the container 4. Occasionally, water droplets W run down the lid cover 7 as shown by the broken line in FIG. Watered.

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, the recesses 12 on both sides of the hinge base 9 form inclined surfaces that become lower toward the container 4 side, so that water droplets that flowed down from the lid cover 7 will flow onto the hinge base. Even if the water droplets are dropped on the sides of the container 4, the water droplets can be condensed into the container 4 along the concave portion 12 having the inclined surface. Note that the rib 11 is for guiding the draining, and it is conceivable that the lid packing 13 for sealing with the spout 1 may serve this function instead.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the lid hinge device for a pot or the like of the present invention, a hinge stand is provided upright on the upper surface of the spout that comes into contact with the lid when the lid is closed, and the lid is attached to the hinge stand. A rotary shaft is provided which is rotatably and removably supported, and this rotary shaft is positioned above the top surface of the spout, and the lid has a rib whose tip is located closer to the container than the hinge stand when opened. is arranged close to the rotating shaft, so when the lid is opened, water droplets adhering to the lid cover will not only directly enter the container, but also be absorbed by the ribs into the recess on the side of the container on the hinge stand. Even if the water is dripped into the L-shaped groove that makes up the rotating shaft at the top of the hinge base, the water condenses into the container from the recesses on both sides of the hinge base, causing water droplets to drip onto the body and floor and wet them. This can reliably prevent dirt or stains.
