Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a household electric coffee brewing machine, and more particularly to a handle for convenient carrying of a main body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a technique of providing a handle for carrying a main body on a coffee brewer is known (for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 60-80733).

With the conventional technology, the main body can be carried with one hand. Therefore, when it is desired to clean the floor surface on which the coffee brewer body is placed, lift the main body with one hand and clean the floor surface with the other hand. Such as doing, the main body with one hand,
It is very convenient for the user because the other hand can be used to carry a tool for drinking coffee (for example, coffee powder or coffee cup).

[0004]

In the above-mentioned conventional technique, when the main body is carried, the usage described in the known example, that is, water is not poured into the water container of the main body, and the coffee container is used. It may be carried outside of the unloaded condition when there is no coffee in it. For example, if you carry the handle with the handle filled with the rated volume of water, the center of gravity moves to the side of the water container, causing the main body to lean toward the water container and spilling a large amount of water from the water container. It has a drawback that it causes trouble to the user.

If the coffee is carried in the coffee container in the same manner as described above, the coffee container in the hot water state may be spilled from the coffee container or dropped from the main body when the coffee container is used. It was easily conceivable that a person could get burned or get injured by a dropped coffee container.

Further, the power cord was an obstacle during transportation of the main body.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and includes a water container provided in the main body, a heating body for heating water poured into the water container, and coffee powder. An electric coffee brewing machine comprising a coffee filter that receives hot water heated by a heating body and filters the coffee liquid, a coffee container that is located below this and stores the filtered coffee, and a carrying handle, When a handle shaft is provided on the handle and a handle bearing corresponding to the handle shaft is provided on the main body so that it can rotate around the handle shaft, water with a rated capacity is poured into the water container and the handle is lifted. A handle bearing is installed at a position where the body is balanced so that water does not overflow from the water container.

Further, when the handle bearing for keeping the balance of the main body is lifted by holding the handle with the coffee container containing the coffee liquid set in the main body, the direction of taking out the coffee container from the main body is horizontal or upward. Provide as it is.

Further, a handle holder is provided on the main body so as to also serve as a cord hook.

[0010]

With the above construction, it is possible to prevent the water from easily overflowing from the water container due to the inclination of the main body, and prevent the coffee from spilling from the coffee container and the coffee container from dropping.

Further, since the handle receiver also serves as a cord hook, the usability is improved.
