Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a general tabletop pot that is placed on a table or the like when not in use, and the contents are poured out by lifting and tilting the pot.

In conventional tabletop pots, the entire body except for the cap and the like is assembled integrally, but if the body topples over, it means that the inner container falls sideways, causing the contents to leak.

For this reason, the spout is equipped with a stopper to prevent dust and leakage in the event of a fall. If you try to do this, the plug structure will become complicated.

This device holds the liquid storage container in the outer case in a rotatable manner so that it has the ability to self-return to the upright position, so there is no risk of leakage even if the outer case falls over, and when the outer case is in the upright position, the storage container The outer case covers the spout of the liquid to prevent dust, and the liquid can be poured out by changing the position of the outer case to expose the spout of the liquid storage container and attach the liquid storage container to the outer case. A new type of tabletop pot that does not have the disadvantages of conventional pots, which is easy to pour by tilting the outer case after being integrated into a fixed unit, and is dust-proof and prevents tipping over and leaking without the need for a special stopper or lid. It is a place whose purpose is to provide the following.

To explain the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a liquid storage container, which is composed of an inner container 2 and an outer container 3 surrounding it. It is a heavy bottle, and the outer container 3 is a circular body in which the upper and lower halves 4.5 are screwed together.

A heat insulating material 7 divided in half is loaded between the inner and outer containers 2 and 3.
It has a heavy heat insulating structure, and the heat insulating material 7 may be foamed.

An annular wall 8 is integrally molded on the inner surface of the central part of the lower half body 5, and the surrounding wall 8 holds an elastic inner container support member 9 made of rubber or the like, and the central opening edge 10 of the upper half body 4 has a rocking structure 11.
It is airtightly connected to the lip 12 of the inner container via the rim 12, and forms the mouth 13 of the liquid storage container 1.

A cylindrical pouring member 14 is attached to the spout 13 to form a spout 15 of the liquid storage container 1.

The spout member 14 has one outer flange 17 below the outer flange 16 seated on the opening edge 10 of the outer container, and the outer flange 17 is connected to the upper end of the peripheral wall 20 of the bottom cap 19 which is screwed 18 to the lower end. By fitting the backing 21 sandwiched between them into the mouth 13 of the liquid storage container 1, the content liquid pouring passage 22 is airtightly communicated with the inside of the liquid storage container 1, and the upper end is formed into a trumpet-shaped drainage part. 23, and the draining portion 23
A porous rectifying wall 24 is integrally molded in the base of the bottom cap 19, and the bottom plate portion of the bottom cap 19 is formed into a first valve seat 25 which is inclined slightly in a funnel shape and tilted toward the center, and a ball is formed between the valve seat 25 and the rectifying wall 24. The liquid storage container 1 accommodates the first and second valve body 26.
When in the erect position shown in the figure, the valve body 26 is seated on the valve seat 25 by its own weight to close the passage 22 and keep it warm.

A heat insulating material 27 is also filled inside the valve body 26 for heat retention.

Note that a heat insulating material 27 is provided on the bottom cap 19 etc. of the spout member 14.
If you fill it with water, the heat retention ability will be further improved.

The liquid storage container 1 is housed in a similarly spherical outer case 28, and the outer case 28 is placed at a position slightly above the center of gravity G of the container 1.
The first
, is designed to have a self-returning force due to its own weight to the upright posture shown in Figure 2.

The outer course 28 is the spout 15 of the liquid storage container 1 in an upright position.
It has a spout cover part 30 that covers the spout cover part 30, and a spout window 31 that exposes the spout cover when the spout 15 is rotated to a position removed from the cover part 30 to enable pouring. And the spout window 31 is the spout 15 of the liquid storage container 1 of the outer case 28.
The outer circumferential surface corresponding to the movement range is aligned with the liquid storage container rotation center axis X.
- The spout window 31 is provided in a portion defined as a transfer surface 32 having a certain width T parallel to It is located in the central area.

The outer case 28 is further integrally molded with a hand handle 34 having both end bases 33 disposed in the circumferential direction of the transfer surface 32 on the outer surface of the cover part 30, and the handle 34 is positioned above as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. This state is considered to be the correct posture.

The outer case 28 also has left and right divided bodies 35 and 36 combined to accommodate the liquid storage container 1, and each pin 29 is screwed into the container 1 to pivotally attach the liquid storage container 1. 37
The left and right split bodies 35 and 36 are prevented from expanding outward, and are connected by force-fitting one protrusion 38 into the other hole 39 at each handle base 33 and 33. has been done.

This connection can be made safer and easier to disassemble by screwing at appropriate locations.

The part where the pin 29 of the liquid storage container 1 is screwed 37 is the outer case 2.
The container 1 is actually pivoted by the projection 41 and the pivot hole 40, but the pivot structure is arbitrary and the container It is only necessary to make the container 1 rotatable to the required state, and the self-returning force of the container 1 can be achieved by making the lower part of the container 1 heavier than the other parts.

Further, a stopper 42 is provided at each base 33, 33 of the hand handle 34 so as to be able to move toward and away from the outer surface of the liquid storage container 1, and a recess 4 formed on the upper surface of the handle 34 is provided.
Partition wall 50 inside the handle base of the operating rod 44 that can move in and out of the handle 3
．． Vertical rod 46.51 is held so as to be movable up and down.
46, and is always urged by a spring 45 to move away from the outer surface of the liquid storage container 1.

Each stopper 42 is a horizontally elongated body made of an elastic material such as rubber, whose center part is elastically fitted and connected to the lower end of each vertical rod 46, 46, and has a liquid storage container projecting downward at each end. 1, the crimping surface of the crimping part 47 to the container 1 is a serrated part 48, and the stopper crimping part on the outer surface of the container 1 has a serrated part 49 that engages with the serrated part 48. By forming and interlocking them, container 1
It is intended to be secured to the outer case 28 in any position.

The spring 45 is connected to the flange 52 at the top of the vertical rod 46 and the partition wall 5.
It works between 0 and 0.

In the above configuration, since the liquid storage container 1 is pivotally attached to the outer case 28 above its center of gravity G, it is always stable in an erect posture, and the outer case 28 stores liquid on the central axis of its transfer surface 32. Since it receives the weight of the liquid container 1, no matter how tilted the outer case 28 is depending on the weight of the container 1, it will not cause a transfer moment, and the outer case 28 will not move in any direction unless it receives an external force or is placed on an inclined surface. It also stabilizes your posture.

The normality case 28 is in the upright position as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the spout cover part 30 of the outer case 28 covers the spout 15 of the liquid storage container 1 in the upright position to achieve dustproofing. .

In addition, since the valve body 26 is seated on the valve seat 25, the pouring passage 22 is closed to further prevent dust from entering the container 1, and in conjunction with the double insulation structure of the container 1 itself, It exhibits excellent heat retention.

If heat retention is not necessary due to the type of liquid stored or the purpose, the container 1 may be a simple container without a heat insulating structure, and the spout 15 may be simply opened without the pouring force member 14.

However, it is useful for pouring work to provide a drainage section.

Even if the outer case 28 is inadvertently tipped over to the right or left in FIG. No liquid leaks.

Even if an external force acts on the outer case 28 in the direction of tilting it to the left or right in the mounted state shown in FIG. 2, the outer case 28 will only fall in the left-right direction in FIG. Therefore, in most cases, the external force acts so as to deviate from the vertical center line of the outer case, and the outer case 28 is rotated around the vertical axis so that the transfer surface 32 faces in the direction of the force. Since the liquid storage container 1 can be easily moved in the left-right direction in FIG. 1, the liquid storage container 1 will not fall over and leak the contents.

To pour out the contents, tilt the outer case 28 to the left or right in FIG. 1, position the spout 15 in any part of the spout window 31 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. By tightening the grip, the stopper 4 together with the operating rod 44
2 and press it against the outer surface of the liquid storage container 1 to lock the outer case 28 and the container 1 in the above positional relationship, and then return the outer case 28 to the state shown in FIG. 1 while maintaining the same locked state. This is done by tilting the container 1 as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.

When the container 1 is tilted, the valve element 26 in the pouring passage 22 moves away from the valve seat 25 due to its own weight or being pushed by the liquid content as shown in FIG.
Enables dispensing of liquid contents.

FIG. 6 shows that the spout member 14 in the embodiment described above is provided with another valve seat 54 on which a backing 53 is fitted just below the rectifying wall 24, and a ball-shaped valve seat 54 is provided immediately below the valve seat 54. The valve body 26 is engaged in front of the valve seat 54 to enable dispensing while the container 1 is in the normal dispensing tilted position as shown by the solid line in FIG. A locking stepped portion 55 is provided to disengage the valve body 26 and seat it on the valve seat 54 when the container 1 is tilted, and if the container 1 is tipped sideways against an unnecessary window, the liquid content will leak out. to prevent

FIG. 7 shows the container 1 held in an outer case (not shown) so as to be rotatable in any direction, with a pin 56.
The container 1 is positioned in a ring 57 that is pivoted to the outer case by a pin 56, and the rotation center axis Y-Y is
The container 1 is connected to the pin 5 on the axis ZZ perpendicular to the horizontal plane.
It is pivoted to the inner circumference of the ring 57 by 8.58, and the container 1
The center of gravity G of the container 1 is set below the intersection O of the axes Y-Y and Z-Z, so that the container 1 has a self-returning force to an upright posture no matter which direction it is tilted.

Therefore, no matter which direction the outer case is rolled, the container 1
It does not tilt and there is no leakage of the contents.

In this case, it seems difficult to align the spout 15 of the container 1 with the spout window opened in a specific direction and range for pouring out the contents, but depending on the orientation of the hand handle of the exterior case, Since the direction in which the case is tilted is the same, this is not a problem.

Note that the support structure that allows the liquid storage container to rotate and the structure that allows it to return to an upright posture are optional, and the pivot point of the liquid storage container to the outer case must be located below the central axis of the circular transfer surface of the outer case. If the lower part of the outer case is placed in an upright position, or if the weight of the lower part of the outer case is increased, the outer case will have the habit of self-returning to an upright position, and will always return to an upright position even if it is tilted, and will always keep the spout of the liquid storage container open. It can be covered to prevent dust.

Furthermore, the structure for locking the liquid storage container to the outer case may be arbitrary, such as one using only friction or another type of locking, and the operation method can be freely selected and adopted.

According to this invention, the liquid storage container is rotatably held in the outer case so that it has the habit of returning to an upright posture, and the liquid storage container maintains the upright posture regardless of the inclination of the outer case. The liquid does not leak, and since the outer case covers the spout of the liquid storage container when it is in an upright position to prevent dust, there is no need to provide a special stopper or lid structure to the spout, and there is no need to provide a special stopper or lid structure to the spout, preventing the contents from leaking due to a fall. It is possible to prevent the intrusion of dirt and dust, and the structure is simple and can be provided at low cost.The content liquid can be poured out by locking the liquid storage container with the outer case in a specific position where the spout of the liquid storage container is exposed. The pouring operation can be done by simply tilting the outer case and does not require the operation of a stopper or the like, which simplifies the pouring operation.

In addition, the liquid storage container has a large capacity with a thick body, has a simple appearance, and an interesting product with a unique pouring operation method can be obtained.
