Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a hook structure in a container with a lid such as a rice cooker and a pot.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 A lidded container such as a rice cooker or a pot, which is biased in the opening direction by a hinge spring, has a hook structure for engaging the lid with the container body. This hook structure is engaged by the hook when the lid is closed, and when the lid is opened, the hook is operated from the outside to release the engagement.

In order to have such a function, the conventional hook structure has a hook for engaging the lid, a hook lever for externally operating the hook, and a biasing force in the engaging direction to the hook. The configuration of combining the giving springs was generally adopted.

Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a hook structure in which a hook and a member for operating the hook are formed as one component in order to reduce the number of components and to simplify the assembling work. To do.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention stores a hook in a guide groove provided on the front upper surface of a container body so that the hook is slidable and outwardly biased, and the hook provided on the hook is attached to the lid. The hook is provided with a stopper piece, and an engaging portion with the stopper piece is provided in the guide groove.

[0006]

[Action]

 When the lid is closed, the hook claws engage a portion of the lid to hold the lid closed. When opening the lid, push in the hook with your fingertips, the hook's claw will come off, and the lid will automatically open. Since the stopper piece of the hook engages with the engaging portion of the guide groove, the hook is prevented from coming out.

【Example】

 The first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 shows a lid hook structure of a rice cooker. A lid 3 is freely opened and closed by a hinge pin 2 and attached to the rear end of the jar body 1 by a hinge spring (not shown) while being biased in the opening direction.

A guide groove 5 (see FIG. 2) in the front-rear direction is provided on the upper surface of the front portion of the shoulder member 4 which constitutes a part of the outer casing of the jar body 1.

The guide groove 5 is provided with guide ribs 6 on the inner surfaces of both side walls, and an engaging groove 7 is provided on the bottom of the guide groove 5 in contact with both side walls. A spring receiving projection 9 for receiving the coil spring 8 is provided on the inner wall of the guide groove 5.

The hook 10 is slidably accommodated in the guide groove 5. At the rear end of the hook 10, a claw piece 11 that rises upward is provided. Further, the inside of the hook 10 is opened at its lower surface and rear end surface to form a spring accommodating portion 12. A spring receiving projection 13 is provided on the inner wall of the spring accommodating portion 12. On the outer surfaces of both side walls of the hook 10, grooves 14 that fit into the guide ribs 6 are provided from the rear end to the middle. In addition, an inverted L-shaped slit 15 is provided in a range extending from the center of the lower surface of both side walls of the hook 10 to the front wall, and a stopper piece 16 separated from the side wall by the slit 15 and integrated with the front wall is provided. There is. The stopper piece 16 is flexible and has a claw 17 formed downward at the tip thereof.

As shown in FIG. 4, the hook 10 accommodates the coil spring 8 in the spring accommodating portion 12, and both ends of the coil spring 8 are provided in the guide groove 5 and the spring receiving protrusions 9 and 13 of the hook 10. Then, the groove 14 of the hook 10 is fitted into the guide rib 6 of the guide groove 5, and the stopper piece 16 is further bent and pushed into the guide groove 5.

When the claw 17 of the stopper piece 16 fits into the engagement groove 7 of the guide groove 5, it is slidably engaged with the engagement groove 7 by its elasticity.

On the other hand, the inner lid 18, which is a component member of the lid 3, is provided with an engaging portion 19 corresponding to the hook 10 described above, and the claw piece 11 of the hook 10 engages with the engaging portion 19 to close the lid 3. Hold on.

When opening the lid 3, the tip of the hook 10 is pushed in with a fingertip. Then, the hook 10 is pushed in while compressing the coil spring 8, the claw piece 11 is disengaged from the engaging portion 19, and the lid 3 is automatically opened.

When the finger is released, the hook 10 is pushed back by the force of the coil spring 8, but the claw 17 of the stopper piece 16 engages with the end of the engaging groove 7, so that the hook 10 is prevented from coming off.

Next, the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 9 is one in which the claw 17 of the stopper piece 16 of the hook 10 is bent outward, and the guide groove 5 is engaged correspondingly. The groove 7 is also provided at the lower ends of both side walls. Other configurations and operations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

In the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, a stopper piece 16 ′ extending rearward from its front wall is provided on the lower surface of the spring accommodating portion 12 of the hook 10, and the stopper piece 16 ′ extends in the front-rear direction. A long engagement groove 20 is provided.

Further, a small protrusion 21 that fits into the above-mentioned engagement groove 7 is provided on the bottom surface of the guide groove 5, and the engagement groove 20 engages with this small protrusion 21 to prevent the hook 10 from coming off. To be prevented.

Other configurations and operations are the same as in the case of the above-described first embodiment.

[0020]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the hook that is detachably engaged with the lid is provided with the stopper piece that engages with the container body, and the hook is prevented from coming off by engaging the container body with the stopper piece. Since it is configured as described above, it is possible to engage and disengage with the lid with only one hook. Therefore, the number of parts is reduced and the assembly work is extremely easy.
