JPH11128085A - Electric hot water supply pot or the like provided with horizontal open-type lid - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent hot steam from being blown to this side at the time of opening an upper lid and also to guarantee safe treatment by fitting the upper lid formed in an electric hot water supply pot or an electric rice boiling jar, etc., so as to be freely opening/closing possible in a horizontal open-type. SOLUTION: A hinge part 4 is horizontally arranged, which is for supporting the upper lid 3 disposed in the upper part of a main body 1 in the electric hot water supply pot or the electric rice boiler so as to be freely opening/closing possible as against the main body 1 and the upper lid is provided with a horizontal opening structure. Thus, hot steam inside the main body 1 is not blown to this side and made to escape to a horizontal side when the upper lid 3 is opened so that a burn is prevented. Besides, an operation is made to be easily executed in terms of human engineering by the horizontal open-type structure concerning the operation from this side.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an electric hot water supply pot used in ordinary households, an electric rice cooker, and the like. By attaching an opening / closing hinge of an upper lid to a side, hot steam is applied to a person who opens the lid. It was a teasing.
