Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is attached to a portable thermal container that is carried with drinking water, etc., and keeps the contents warm or cold. relates to an attachment that can be used as a stand for a pot or heat-insulating container.

BACKGROUND ART Recently, with the spread of automobiles, relatively large portable heat-insulating containers are being carried on vacations such as camping.

For small pot-shaped pots, it is convenient to attach one tip to the top of the pot, but for large pots intended for a large number of people, it is common to use a combination of many pots.
Just wearing one tip is not enough.

Therefore, the device is not usually equipped with a tip and a large number of tips are prepared separately, which must be carried separately and must be searched for when used, which is inconvenient in many ways.

In addition, the large thermal container is equipped with a stopper that allows the contents to be poured out while the container remains stationary.This stopper is installed at the bottom of the thermal container in order to pour out the entire amount. It has to be placed at a higher height, and models with legs are available, but they are inconvenient to carry.

Those with foldable legs are expensive, the insulating container is not stable, and is easily damaged.

Furthermore, there is no way to stably place and line up a large number of pots, which is also inconvenient.

The purpose of this invention is to provide an attachment that can eliminate these drawbacks all at once.

To explain the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a turntable 4 serving as a receiving surface 3 is provided on a top plate 2 of a cap-shaped main body 1, and is pivotally mounted on a shaft 5. At the same time, a rail surface 6 on the lower surface of the table 4 is received by a slider 7 disposed on the top plate 2 of the main body 1, and the table 4 is rotatably held.

The lower end opening 8 of the main body 1 is sized to fit onto the outer periphery of the upper end of the portable heat-retaining container 9, and has a helicoidal protrusion 11 formed on the inner periphery to engage with and disengage from the engagement piece 10 on the outer periphery of the upper end of the container 9. ,
The area within the main body 1 that does not interfere with the cap 12 of the container 9 is defined as a tip accommodating portion 13, and the tip 14 accommodated in the accommodating portion 13 is elastically attached to an annular holding protrusion 15 formed on the back surface of the top plate 2 of the main body 1. It is fitted and held in a removable manner.

Everything other than the heat-insulating container 9 side is made of plastic molded parts to reduce weight, and the slider 7 is made of a particularly slippery material, for example, fluorine resin, and is embedded in the upper surface of the top plate 2.

The shaft 5 inserts the foot part into the top plate 2 from below, and the table 4
It is screwed on.

The protrusion 11 of the opening 8 may be replaced with a screw, and the main body 1 may be screwed onto the upper end of the heat-insulating container 9.

Reference numeral 16 designates a carrying handle rotatably attached to the container 9 via a shaft 17, 18 a spout, 19 a stopper thereof, and 20 short legs provided on the bottom of the container.

The tip 14 may be screwed onto the annular holding protrusion 15 or the like.

When carrying the heat insulating container 9, use the container 14 as shown in Figure 1.
The main body 1, which has been fitted onto the annular holding protrusion 15 in the accommodating portion 13, is attached to the upper end of the container 9 and rotated, so that the helicoid protrusion 11 is engaged with the engagement piece 10 of the container 9.

As a result, the main body 1 is integrally attached to the upper end of the container 9 as shown in FIG. 2, and can be handled as a single unit without falling off even when carried by the handle 16.

When using the heat-insulating container 9, rotate the main body 1 to disengage the engagement piece 10 of the helicoid protrusion 11, and then move the main body 1 to the second
In the figure, it is removed from the container 9.

Then, each of the tips 14 fitted and held in the accommodating portion 13 of the main body 1 is removed and taken out for use.

When dispensing the contents, as shown in Fig. 3, place the main body 1 down and place the heat insulating container 9 on the receiving surface 3 of the table 4 at the upper end.
, the main body 1 serves as a suitable platform to obtain a suitable height for dispensing the contents of the container 9.

Moreover, since the table 4 is rotatable, each person can
It is convenient to be able to dispense by turning it in various directions.

After pouring the contents into the top 14, the container 9 can be taken down from the table 4 and the top 14 can be placed on it for use.

If there is a suitable place to place the container 9 or the pot 14, it is sufficient to dedicate it to a more convenient place.

In addition, when the engagement part of the main body 1 to the upper end of the container 9 is the henocoid-shaped protrusion 11 or a screw, the main body 1 must be turned to attach and detach, which is somewhat inconvenient if the main body 1 is relatively large.

However, such inconvenience can be solved by elastically fitting the main body 1 to the upper end of the container 9.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a slide engager 22 is provided on the side of the main body 1 and is biased by a spring 21 to either the left or right side, and the engager 22 is pushed against the spring 21 on the outer periphery of the upper end of the container 9. An L-shaped locking groove 23 is provided at the entrance of a guide slope 23a for guiding and introducing the material, and when attaching the main body 1 to the upper end of the container 9, the engaging element 22 is guided to the locking groove 23 by the slope 23H. After engaging, the restoring force of the spring 21 causes the locking portion 23b of the groove 23 to
The main body 1 may be locked by engaging the main body 1.

When removing the main body 1, slide the engaging element 22 against the spring 21 using the operating part 22a protruding to the outside.
All you have to do is remove it from the locking part 23b of the groove 23 and lift the main body 1.

The groove 23 is shaped like a positioning protrusion 24 protruding toward the outer periphery of the container 9, and the engaging member 22 is provided in an inner circumferential recess 25 of the main body 1 that fits into the protrusion 24, so that the recess 25 fits into the protrusion 24 when the main body 1 is attached. The mating body 1 is prevented from rotating, and the locking function of the engaging protrusion 22 and the locking groove 23 is stabilized.

It is also possible to provide the engaging protrusion 22 on the container 9 and the locking groove 23 on the main body 1, and there are various other variations of the rotation prevention structure.

The embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 has a lock lever on the main body 1.
26 is provided, and a lever 26 is provided at the locking portion 27 on the outer periphery of the upper end of the container 9.
The claws 26a of the main body 1 are engaged by the biasing force of the spring 28.
This locking is done by lock lever.
The main body 1 can be removed by releasing the operation part 26 b protruding from the main body 1 at 26 .

The main body 1 is prevented from rotating by engaging a notch 31 on the lower edge of the main body 1 with a locking protrusion 30 formed on the upper surface of the shoulder 29 of the container 9.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 8, a turntable 4 is attached to the upper end by an integral shaft 5, and a cap-like body 1 rotatably supported by a ball 32 has a cross section of 1-shaped and has an outer periphery. A pocket part 33 for accommodating one tip 14 is formed, and the tip 14 is fitted into the pocket part 33 and held.

The pocket part 33 has a size such that the entire main body of the tip 14 fits therein, and the handle 14a of the tip 14 projects outward, so that the tip 14 can be taken in and out by holding the handle 14a.

In order to securely hold the tip 14, appropriate locking means,
For example, as shown in the imaginary line in FIG.
All you have to do is form.

This item is attached to the heat insulating container 9 on the receiving surface 3 of the turntable 4.
When the tip 14 is placed upward in the pocket portion 33 as shown in the imaginary line in FIG. 8 and in FIG. Due to the inclination of the tip and the inclination of the front wall 14C of the tip, the container 9 is fully extended to the outside of the main body 1.
It is very convenient because the contents dispensed from the cup can be received in the cup 14, and the contents can be poured into each cup 14 one after another while the container 9 is rotated on the table 4.

Note that the structure for accommodating and holding the tip 14 in the main body 1 may be any structure other than the above-mentioned embodiments.

According to this invention, although it is possible to store and carry multiple cots in an attachment that is normally attached to the top of the heat-insulating container in the form of a cover, it is possible to carry a heat-insulating container with a large number of cots, and to carry a large number of cots. It is convenient to use, and when in use, the attachment can be used as a stand for a thermal container or a stand for a pot, but it requires long fixed legs that are inconvenient to carry, complicated, expensive, and unstable folding legs, etc. Eliminate disadvantage.
