As shown in U.S. Pat. No. 94376, there is also known one in which a shoulder is projected forward to expose an upper surface thereof as an upper surface of a container body, and a rear opening is covered with a lid.

[0003] Such a conventional stationary liquid dispensing container,
The hinge portion of the lid is formed on the side opposite to the spout. This structure is a common sense of a liquid discharging container, particularly in a container in which the entire upper surface of the above-described container body is covered with a lid because the liquid attached to the inner surface of the vertically long lid easily flows to the container body and is convenient. The container is settled, and the shoulder is exposed to the front.

[0004] In addition, the above-mentioned conventional stationary liquid dispensing container is provided with various display units including a display of a liquid amount and operation buttons on a spout side. And various operations such as a liquid discharging operation. For this reason, the product is always installed with its spout facing toward the user.

[0005] Further, since the hinge portion of the lid is provided on the opposite side of the spout as described above and at the back of a vertically long portion,
When the lid is opened, the lid must be rotated greatly from the front side to the rear side, and the operation becomes large, and the operability is not good. In addition, when the lid is opened by hand, in the case of a heat retaining container containing hot water, particularly a container having a water heater, if hot water remains in the container body, when the lid is opened, the hand is opened. Since it passes above the opening of the main body and comes into contact with the heated steam, it is not preferable in terms of safety.

On the other hand, as shown in Design Registration No. 931682 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-7166, a liquid pouring container having a structure in which a lid is opened and closed from a side with respect to a spout is also known. However, in the former, since the lid covers the entire upper surface of the shoulder, it is extremely large compared to the opening of the container body, making it difficult to open and close the lid. The specific structure for the opening and closing operation is not shown, and it is not clear how the opening and closing operation can be performed. Further, it is unknown whether the handle provided on the upper surface of the lid is for opening and closing the lid or for lifting the entire container and carrying it. If the handle is for opening and closing the lid, it is inconvenient to carry the entire container, and if the container is portable, portability is poor, and when carrying, the container tilts and hot water overflows from the ventilation holes of the lid. There is a risk.

In the latter, since the spout is formed at the end of the handle attached to the container body, the spout also rotates each time the handle is turned, and the liquid attached to the spout is scattered. And the surroundings are easily soiled, and are hard to recognize as a spout. Furthermore, since a portion that is easily deteriorated by hot water is used as the handle attachment portion, it is not preferable in terms of safety.
