Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a keratle in which a lid with a flute is pivoted to the spout so that it can be opened and closed.

Conventionally, there is a keratle shown in FIG. 1, for example, which has a lid with a whistle that lets you know when the water has boiled, which is pivoted to the spout so that it can be opened and closed.

That is, the operating rod C is inserted into the forearm part of the handle B, which is supported on both sides by the keratol main body A, via the coil spring D so as to be able to rise and fall freely, and the bent end C of the operating rod C is pivoted to the whistle lid E. By arranging a leaf spring G that is pivoted at F and tilted below the bent end C of the operating lever C, the button H' and the coil spring D mounted on the upper part of the operating lever C are resilient. When pushed down against the force, the tip bent portion C of the operating rod C slides on the obliquely arranged leaf spring G, and the whistle lid E opens using the supporting shaft portion J relative to the spout I as a fulcrum. At the same time, when the pivot point of the lid E with the flute and the bent end C of the operating rod C is passed, the lid E with the flute is completely opened and remains stationary.

When the button H is pushed in, the operating rod C is pushed up by the elastic force of the leaf spring G and the coil spring D, returning to its original position, and the whistle lid E is closed.

However, in the conventional product shown in FIG.
Since the leaf spring G is disposed in the opening b2 provided below the forearm part of the body, there is a structural restriction that it must be inserted from above the mounting hole b0.

Further, the bent end portion C of the operating rod C had to be attached in a narrow space to pivotally attach it to the flute lid E at the support shaft portion J, which was time-consuming.

Moreover, when removing the lid K from the Keratol main body A when pouring water into the Keratol main body A or cleaning the inside of the Keratol main body A, the lid K tends to get caught on the forearm part of the handle B. There was a drawback that it had to be removed from the Keratol main body A while tilting it.

The present invention was developed in view of the above points, and its purpose is to support the handle in a cantilever manner with respect to the keratle body to form a space between the forearm of the handle and the keratle body. Therefore, it is possible to easily insert the coil spring, the operating rod, etc. from below the forearm part, thereby improving the installation and assembly work, and to provide a keratle in which the lid can be easily attached and detached from the keratle main body.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a keratle main body, 2 a lid that has a knob 3 and is removably attached to the keratle main body 1, 4 a spout provided on the front surface of the keratle main body 1, and 5 a mounting fixed to the spout 4. A lid with a flute is pivotally attached to a metal fitting 6 by a pivot shaft 7 so that it can be opened and closed, and a handle 8 is cantilevered by being fixed to the rear arm 8a' of the kerator main body 1. The portion 8b is formed short to form a space 9 between it and the keratle main body 1.

In order to fix the handle 8 to the keratle main body 1, for example, the base plate part 11a is fixed to the keratle main body 1 with several rivets 10, and the screws 12, 12 are used on the mounting plate 11b of the mounting bracket 11, which has a cross-section shaped like a letter L. Then, the rear arm portion 8a may be screwed.

13 is an abbreviated operating rod having a bent end portion 13a;
A bush button 4 is provided at the upper end of the operating rod 13 and has a flange 14ak formed around its outer periphery.

Note that the bushing button 14 and the operating rod 13 may be formed integrally as shown, or the bushing button 14 may be fitted onto the upper end of the operating rod 13 by forming them separately.

The operating rod 13 is inserted from below into a mounting hole 8b provided in the forearm portion 8b of the handle 8.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a coil spring for pushing up the operating rod 13 by having its upper end abutted against the lower surface of the flange 14a of the operating rod 13 and its lower end contacting a cap nut 16 (to be described later). The operating rod 13 is loosely fitted into the outer periphery of the mounting hole 8b, and is loosely inserted into the mounting hole 8b together with the operating rod 13.

8b2 is a mounting hole 8 in order to restrict removal by engaging the flange 14a of the bush button 14.
A projecting edge part 8b3 for the T-shaped collar provided on the upper part of b1 is provided in the mounting hole 8b, so that the bushing button 14 tilts when the bushing button 14 is pushed in, and the flange 14a thereof can be freely engaged and detached. The engaging stepped portion 16 provided at the front is a cap nut that is screwed into a threaded portion 8b4 formed on the outer periphery of the lower part of the forearm portion 8b.

8b5 is a notch provided on the lower front surface of the forearm portion 8b.

The bent end portion 13a of the operating rod 13 is pivoted to the rear end portion 5a of the lid 5 with a shaft 17 in close proximity to the support shaft portion 7.

One embodiment of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, in which the handle 8 is cantilevered on the keratle body 1 and a space 9 is formed between the forearm portion 8b and the keratle body 1. Therefore, the operating rod 13 with the coil spring 15 loosely fitted around the outer periphery
the mounting hole 8b of the forearm part 8b together with the button 14.
The operating rod 13 can be mounted in the mounting hole 8b1 by simply inserting it into the mounting hole 8b1 from below and screwing the cap nut 16 into the threaded part 8b4 formed on the lower outer periphery of the forearm part 8b.

At this time, since a notch 8b5 is provided on the front surface of the forearm portion 8b, the operating rod 13, bushing button 14, coil spring 15, etc. can be easily inserted into the mounting hole 8b.

Then, if the tip bent portion 13a of the operating rod 13 is pivoted to the rear end portion 5a of the lid 5 with a whistle, using a shaft 17 in close proximity to the pivot shaft 7 of the lid 5 with a whistle, the operating rod 13 and the lid 5 with whistle can be connected.

To open the whistle lid 5, push down the bushing button 14 against the elastic force of the coil spring 15, and the operating rod 13 will descend within the mounting hole 8b□.

As a result, the whistle lid 5, whose rear end 5a is pivotally attached to the tip bent portion 13a of the operating rod 13 using the shaft 17, uses the pivot shaft 7 as a fulcrum because the attachment point of the shaft 17, which serves as the point of effort, is lowered. open.

Then, when the button 14 is pushed down and tilted slightly forward, the flange 14a formed on the outer periphery engages with the locking step 8b3 formed inside the mounting hole 8b, so that the coil spring 15 The pushed-up button 14 is locked in the mounting hole 8b, and the whistle lid 5 remains open.

On the other hand, in order to close the whistle lid 5, if the button 14 is tilted back, the flange 14a disengages from the engagement step 8b3, and the elastic force of the coil spring 15 causes the operating rod 13 will be restored to its former position.

Therefore, the whistle lid 5 is closed with respect to the spout 4 using the pivot shaft 7 as a fulcrum.

In addition, as mentioned above, the forearm part 8b of the handle 8 and the keratle main body 1
Since a space 9 is formed between the lid 2 and the lid 2, the lid 2 can be easily and reliably attached to and removed from the T-kome keratle main body 1 without any obstructions.

As mentioned above, the present invention supports the handle in a cantilever manner with respect to the keratle body to form a space between the forearm of the handle and the keratle body, and uses the operating rod and coil spring to open and close the whistle lid. etc. can be easily inserted from below the forearm, which improves the installation and assembly work, and also allows the lid to be easily and reliably attached to and removed from the Kerator body.
