Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a hook device provided on a lid of a pot.

[Conventional technology]

In a type of pot in which a lid is attached to the pot body via a hinge, a hook device is provided for engaging the lid body with the pot body when the lid is closed.

FIG. 8 shows an example of a pot provided with such a hook device. In this case, a pair of button-shaped hook operating members 1
Are provided on both sides of the beak portion 3 on the front surface of the lid 2, and the hooks are removed by pushing in from both sides in the arrow direction.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

In the pot provided with the hook operation portion 1 as described above, as shown in FIG. 9, by grasping this with both thumb and forefinger from both sides, the hook is removed and at the same time the lid 2 is lifted and opened by the hand. It has become.

In this case, as shown in the figure, insert your hand from the front of the pot, spread your thumb and forefinger widely beyond the width of the beak part 3, push in the hook operating parts 1 from both sides to remove the hook of the lid, and then Since it is necessary to lift the hand to open the lid 2, there is an inconvenience of releasing the hook and opening the lid 2 in two ways.

Also, when opening the lid 2, if you lift the lid 2 as it is,
Steam is in my hand. The direction in which the hand is put out is opposite to the direction shown in the figure, that is, the hand is put out from the upper part of the lid 2 with the tip of the finger facing forward, and the hook 2 is opened while pulling the hand backward while grasping the hook operation part 1. Although no steam is applied to the above, such an operation is not always performed.

In addition, a hook operation lever is provided on the side of the lid of the pot,
Some hooks are detached by pushing one end of the lever, but in this case, the pot may fall in the pushing direction of the lever.

Therefore, according to this invention, there is no risk of the pot falling over by operating the hook operation lever, and the hook can be released and the lid can be opened in one movement, and the lid can be opened from the side of the pot. The first purpose is to prevent the steam from hitting the hand when the lid is opened by making it the most natural operation to carry out.

Further, in this invention, since the conventional hook operation portion 1 projects from the lid surface, when the pot hits the surrounding wall,
A second object is to prevent the hook operating portion from protruding from the lid surface in consideration of the possibility that the hook operating portion is pushed in and the hook may come off.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned first object, the present invention rotatably attaches a hook operating lever to the lid by a pivot shaft having an axis perpendicular to a line extending outward from the center of the lid. In a hook device for a pot in which the hook of the lid is unhooked by operating the operation lever, the hook operation lever is attached to a position close to the discharge port side of the upper surface of the lid, and the back surface of one end of the hook operation lever is attached. A finger hook is provided on the hook, and the hook is removed by raising the finger hook of the hook operating lever.

Further, in order to achieve the second object, the present invention is to form the upper surface of the hook operating member at substantially the same height as the upper surface of the lid.

[Action]

Since the hook operating lever is provided on the upper surface of the lid, the pot does not fall when the lid is pulled up, even if it is accidentally pushed in.

In addition, the finger of one hand protruding from the side of the pot is hung on the finger-holding portion of the hook operation lever, and the other finger of the same hand is attached to the other end surface of the hook operation lever to raise the finger-holding portion side. Then, the hook on the lid comes off, and while holding the hook operation lever with your fingertip, return the wrist of the hand and open the lid. At this time, no steam is applied to the hands (referred to as the first mode).

When extending a hand from the back of the pot, hang one or two fingertips of one hand on the finger-holding part, raise it, and pull it up toward you to open the lid. Even in this case, steam is not applied to the hands (referred to as the second mode).

If you want to extend your hand from the front of the pot, squeeze the hook operating lever to raise it, and move the entire arm to the rear of the pot while pinching it to open the lid. In this case, steam is applied to the hand (referred to as the third mode).

Of the above three modes, the first mode is the most natural operation, and therefore the operation is easy, and the second and third modes are unnatural operations.
