In addition, the display of the operation unit 33 is easy to see, and there is no fear that the body 6 will move or fall during operation, which is convenient. Even if the operation portion 33 is provided on the upper surface of the bulging portion 7 as described above, the bulging portion 7 is located above the upper edge 4a of the shoulder member 4 which is the upper edge of the mouth portion of the body 6 by H. Since it is formed so as to project, when the lid 11 is opened and the content liquid is poured into the inner container 3 and the residual liquid is taken out, there is no possibility that the liquid will flow to the upper surface of the bulging portion 7, Therefore, the liquid does not enter the operation unit 33 to cause harm.

As shown in FIG. 1, a pair of left and right holding walls 54 extending downward along the inner joint peripheral wall 4c is formed on the back surface of the operation portion 33. The spout 52 is sandwiched between the retaining walls 54, and the projections 55 formed on both sides of the spout 51 are retained by the retaining wall 54.
The spout 51 is stably held by engaging with the locking hole 56 of FIG. The outlet passage 22 is stabilized by two-point support of the holding portion of the spout 51 and the connecting portion of the base portion to the inner container 3.

Reference numeral 34 is a handle pivotally supported at the center of the shoulder member 4 in the front-rear direction, and reference numeral 35 is a magnetic outlet for supplying electric power to the heater 2 provided at the rear portion of the bottom member 5. The handle 34 is received by a handle receiver 71 formed on the rear portion of the shoulder member 4 and is stabilized in a horizontal lying posture.

Next, the structure for attaching and detaching the lid 11 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the bearing 10 can be attached to and detached from the shoulder member 4, and can be easily attached to and detached from the body 3 by attaching and detaching the bearing 10. As a result, the inside of the container 3 can be easily washed, and the lid 6 can be washed completely.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the bearing 10 has a mounting portion 73 that can be inserted into and removed from a bearing housing 72 provided at the rear portion of the shoulder member 4. Bearing housing 72 has a mounting part
A holder 74 for receiving and holding 73 is provided, and a pair of left and right locking members 76 are held under the holder 74 so as to be separable from and in contact with each other. Each locking member 76 is biased away from each other by a spring 77 so that each outward locking hook 78 is always in the end position within the holder 74 (third position).

On the other hand, the mounting portion 73 of the bearing 10 is formed with an engagement hole 79 that engages with the locking hook 78. As a result, when the mounting portion 73 of the bearing 10 is inserted into the holder 74 of the bearing housing 72 from above, the mounting portion 73 first pushes the locking hook 78 inward against the spring 77, and then pushes inward to reach the limit. At this time, the engagement hole 79 faces the locking hook 78. At this time, the locking hook 78 is fitted into and engaged with the engagement hole 79 by the bias of the spring 77 to prevent the mounting portion 73 from coming off, so that the bearing 10 is fixed to the bearing housing 72 and the lid 11 is in the mounted state. be able to.

Each locking member 76 has an operating portion 80 protruding below the bearing housing 72, and when the operating portions 80 are operated by fingers so as to approach the spring 77, the respective locking hooks 78 move inward. The bearing 10 is moved and disengaged from the engaging hole 79 of the mounting portion 73, and the bearing 10 is unlocked. In this state, the bearing 10 can be removed from the bearing housing 72, and the lid 11 can be removed.

Each operation unit 80 is a handle that can be received by the handle receiver 71.
Since it is installed inside the outer surface of 34, even if the electric pot is young and falls, the operating section 80
Since it is located inside, it does not receive external force.
Therefore, the operation portion 80 receives an external force and the lid by the locking member 76.
You can unlock it on 11 to avoid accidental disengagement.

The closing member 30 is held by the guide groove 83 provided in the lid 11 so that the main body 30a projects forward of the lid 11 and can be retracted, and is biased to the projecting position side by the spring 84. The closing member 30 has a downward slope 30b formed at its tip. As a result, the closing member 30 temporarily retreats while the downward slope 30b slides over the slope 85a at the upper portion of the locking portion 85 provided inside the bulging portion 7 when the lid 11 is closed and gets over the locking portion 85. When the lid 11 is completely closed, the lid 11 is disengaged from the lower side of the locking portion 85 and engages with the locking portion 35. At this time, the closing member 30 is in a locked state that prevents the lid 11 from being opened upward from the closed position.

The lock release button 31 is fitted in a guide hole 92 opened on the upper surface of the lid 11 so as to be vertically movable, and a spring 43 is provided with a safety knob.

Then, the lid 11 is biased in the opening direction by the spring 29, but in the closed state, it is locked by the closing member 30 as described above, so that it does not open accidentally.

To open the lid 11, the lock release button 31 is moved downward. When the lock release button 31 is moved downward, the pushing portion 31a of the lock release button 31 is closed.
Push the slope 30b of 0 downward. This allows the closure member
30 is retracted against the spring 84 and disengages from the locking portion 85. The required push-down force of the lock release button 31 at this time may be relatively small, and the spring force of the spring 29 for urging the lid 11 in the opening direction is sufficiently larger than this push-down force. The lid 11 is automatically opened by the urging of the spring 29 with the momentary finger release after being pushed down.

The second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is an extruding member 91 fitted in a bearing housing 72 so as to be vertically movable.
Is provided. The pushing member 91 is biased upward by the spring 92 in the bearing housing 72 so that the bearing 10 is
When the push-in member 91 is inserted into the 72 from above, the push-in member 91 is pushed in (FIG. 4). As a result, the pushing member 91 tries to push the bearing 10 inserted into the bearing housing 72 upward, but the bearing 10 is locked at the mounting position by the locking hook 78 as described above, so that the bearing 10 is It is not easily extruded.

When the locking is released, the bearing 10 becomes free and is moved upward by the pushing member 91 (fifth position).

In short, the lid 6 can be opened by a one-touch operation in which the lock releasing member 41 is pushed down to the limit and then the lock releasing member 41 is released.

6 to 8 show a third embodiment of the present invention.
In the same mechanism as in the first embodiment, each locking member
An operation slope 101 is formed on the back of the engagement hook 78 of the 76, and a passive piece 102 facing each operator surface 101 is formed in the mounting portion of the bearing member.

As a result, when the locking member 76 is brought close by a finger to unlock the bearing 10, when the locking member is released and further pushed, the slope 101 of each locking member 76 causes the passive piece 102 of the bearing member 51 to move.
The bearing 10 that has been unlocked by pushing the
Will be pushed upward from the bearing housing 72. Therefore, unlocking of the lid 11 and removal thereof can be achieved with one touch.

The position to engage with is maintained.

On the other hand, the hinge pin 11a is provided with an operation lever 114 that rotates integrally with the lid 11 via the hinge pin 11a. When the operating lever 114 is in the closed position posture with respect to the bearing 10 of the lid 11, it is separated from the engaging hook 112 as shown in FIG.
As a result, the engagement hook 112 is engaged with the locking portion 111 by the bias of the spring 113, and the bearing 10 is fixed to the bearing housing 72.

When the lid 11 is opened in this state, the operation lever 114 is rotated downward in the bearing 10 as shown in FIG. 10, and the engagement hook 112 is rotated clockwise against the spring 113. As a result, the engaging hook 112 is disengaged from the engaging portion 111 and the engagement of the bearing 10 is released, so that the lid 11 can be removed.

On the contrary, when the lid 11 is in the open posture with respect to the bearing 10, the mounting portion 73 of the bearing 10 can be freely inserted into the holder 74 of the bearing housing 72 as shown in FIG. And in this state the lid
When 11 is closed, the auxiliary lever 114
Is separated from the engaging hook 112 as shown in FIG. 9, the engaging hook 112 engages with the engaging portion 111 by the bias of the spring 113, and the bearing 10 can be engaged with the bearing housing 72.

Therefore, in this example, the bearing 10 can be automatically unlocked from the bearing housing 72 as the lid 11 is opened and closed, and can be automatically returned to the locked state.

The bearing 10 is fixed to the bearing housing 72 by engaging the engaging recess 121 of 73 from the outside.

A vertically movable operation member 123 is provided in the mounting portion 73,
This is urged upward by the spring 124 so as to be positioned immediately below the cam 125 which interlocks with the opening and closing of the lid 11 (FIGS. 13 to 15). As a result, when the lid 11 is opened from the closed state shown in FIG. 13, the cam 125 is interlocked with it to move the operating member 123 downward as shown in FIG. Therefore, the operating member 123
Pushes the slope 126 of each locking member 76 downward,
Pushes outward against spring 122. With this movement, each locking part 7
6 is disengaged from the engaging recess 121 of the mounting portion 73 to unlock the bearing 10 so that the lid 11 can be removed.

Conversely, when the lid 11 is closed in the state shown in FIG. 15, the cam 125 releases the downward movement of the operating member 123. Therefore, the operating unit 123
Is returned upward by the spring 124, and each locking member 5
6 is returned to the engagement position with the engagement recess 121 by the bias of the spring 122.

A leaf spring 131 attached to the bearing 10 is brought into contact with the cam 125 to brake the movement of the lid 11 when it is closed from the open position, so that the lid 11 can be slowly and quietly closed by a turning force by its own weight.
