Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (b) Industrial application fields The present invention relates to a pot that displays the amount of water.

(b) Conventional technology Conventionally, a pot that informs the user of the amount of water stored in a container consists of connecting both ends of a transparent pipe to the top and bottom of the container, and then A viewing window was formed on the side of the frame. For example, Jikko 60 discloses such a configuration.
-There is a publication No. 28349. However, the configuration of the water amount display for this type of pot uses a single transparent pipe to display the appropriate amount range, water supply range, and full water range, so it is difficult to distinguish between the appropriate amount range and the water supply and/or full water range. It was difficult to understand.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention In consideration of the above drawbacks, the invention aims to make it easier to distinguish between the appropriate amount of water range and the water supply and/or full water range. do.

(d) Means for solving the problem The present invention comprises an outer frame, a bottomed cylindrical container housed in the outer frame, and a lower part of each container connected to the lower part of the container to connect the outer frame and the container. and a pair of transparent water flow pipes erected between the outer frame and the outer frame includes a range corresponding to one of the water flow pipes and located near a predetermined water level of the container, and a region corresponding to the other water flow pipe. A transparent window is provided in a range from near the predetermined water level to near the highest water level of the container.

(E) Effect Since the present invention is constructed as described above,
When the above-mentioned predetermined water level is set near the lowest water level of the container, one water flow pipe can indicate the water supply range, and the other water flow pipe can indicate the appropriate water amount range,
Make it easy to identify.

(f) Examples Embodiments of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical outer frame made of resin, with a rectangular opening 2 formed in the front surface in the vertical direction, and
A decorative board 3 made of an acrylic board and a reboiling switch button 4 are arranged to cover this opening 2. still,
Grooves 5, 5 are formed on both side edges of the opening 2,
Projections 6, 6 that match the grooves 5, 5 are formed on both sides of the decorative board 3, and the decorative board 3 inserts the projections 6, 6 into the grooves 5, 5 (externally). This is done through the lower opening of the frame 1), so that it is arranged and fixed in the opening 2 of the outer frame 1. 7 is a back cover that closes the lower opening of the outer frame 1; 8 is a cylindrical container with a bottom that is housed in the outer frame 1; 9 is a plate-shaped heater arranged and fixed on the lower surface of the container 8; 1
0 is a ring member that connects and fixes the outer frame 1 and the upper end periphery of the container 8; 11 is a ring member that connects the rear side to the ring member 10;
The lid body is rotatably attached to the lid body, and has a bellows 12 inside thereof, a pusher body 13 for pressing the bellows 12 at the upper part, and an inner lid 14 for closing the upper surface opening of the container 8 at the lower part. It is set up. Reference numeral 15 denotes a water conduit pipe which is connected at one end to the bottom surface of the container 8 and installed between the decorative panel 3 of the outer frame 1 and the container 8, and whose other end is connected to the bottom surface of the container 8 through a passage 16 formed in the ring member 10. It is open to the outside of the outer frame 1. Incidentally, when the inside of the container 8 is pressurized by the bellows 12, the water inside the container 8 is discharged to the outside of the outer frame 1 through the water conduit 15. Reference numerals 17A and 17B are first and second water flow pipes made of transparent glass tubes whose upper and lower portions are connected to the upper and lower portions of the water pipe 15 on both sides of the water pipe 15; It is erected between the decorative board 3 of the frame 1 and the container 8. In addition, these respective water flow pipes 17A, 17B are connected to the water guide pipe 15.
3 provided at the upper and lower parts of the
It is connected to the serpentine tubes 19, 19 via packings 20, 20, . . . . Also, each water flow pipe 17
A and 17B extend from a position below the lowest water level line L of the container 8 to about the highest water level line H. 21A, 21B are the respective water flow pipes 17A,
A red ball with a specific gravity of 1 or less is disposed in the container 17B so as to be able to move up and down, and it moves up and down in proportion to the amount of water in the container 8.

Thus, the decorative board 3 is connected to the one water flow pipe 1.
For 7A, the appropriate amount of water range is painted, and for the water flow pipe 17B on the other hand, parts other than those corresponding to the water supply range are painted black, and the water flow pipes 17A and 17 are painted from only those areas (hereinafter referred to as transparent windows) 22A and 22B.
B can be seen visually. In addition, the transparent window 22B of the water supply range matches the lowest water level line L near its center, and has a small water level (0.1
It is formed taking into account the margin for increase or decrease in or,
The lower end of the transparent window 22A in the appropriate amount range approximately matches the upper end of the transparent window 22B in the water supply range, and the upper end is slightly smaller than the highest water level line H (about 0.1).
It is formed to match the reduced area.

Thus, within the proper amount range, the ball 21A
can be visually seen through the see-through window 22A in an appropriate amount range (at this time, the ball 21B is located in the black area of the decorative board 3 and cannot be seen), and in the water supply range, the ball 21B can be visually seen through the see-through window 22B in the water supply range. (At this time, the ball 21A is located in the black part of the decorative board 3 and cannot be seen with the naked eye), and the user can confirm at least at a glance whether the appropriate amount range is the water supply range.

In the present invention, only a water supply range is provided corresponding to one water flow pipe 17B, but it goes without saying that a full water range may also be provided.

(g) Effects of the invention Since the invention is constructed as described above, by setting the predetermined water level near the lowest water level of the container, one water flow pipe indicates the water supply range, and the other The appropriate amount range of water can be indicated by the water flow pipe, and the distinction between the water supply range and the appropriate amount range of water can be easily recognized.
