Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an air pot that selectively discharges air from either a lower position or a higher position on the side of the pot body.

Conventionally used air pots pump liquid from a medium bottle through a passageway and pour it into the pot from a spout on the side of the main body, but the height of the pour is fixed and cannot be adjusted. Therefore, if the pouring height is high, when pouring with a short container such as a teacup placed on the desk, the drop will be large and the liquid to be poured, such as tea, will scatter, so it is necessary to lift the container high near the pouring spout. It was troublesome to have to stand still, and there was a risk of getting your hands dirty or getting burned if you moved out of the receiving position.

On the other hand, if the pouring height is low, there are inconveniences such as the inability to place tall containers such as pots under the pouring spout, making pouring impossible.

For this reason, recently there are products on the market that allow the height of the spout to be adjusted by sliding it up or down to any desired position, but these have drawbacks such as a complicated structure, increased cost, and lack of durability due to the sliding structure. was there.

Therefore, the present invention removably provides an attachment on the pot body that has a flow path that receives the liquid poured out from the spout at a high position and allows it to be poured out from a lower position.
The present invention aims to provide an air pot that solves the above-mentioned drawbacks at once by making it possible to adjust the pouring height to two levels (up and down) according to the height of the container.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the air pot 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 of the drawings,
Reference numeral 2 denotes a pot body, in which a medium bottle 3 hollowed out from a vacuum double bottle is housed, and a dish-shaped top plate 4 is fitted on the top surface.

A through hole 5 is provided in the center of the dish-shaped top plate 4.
The bottle opening 3a of the medium bottle 3 is connected to the bottle, and a protrusion 4a is formed on the front surface.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a plug body, which has a ventilation passage 7 and a water passage 8, and a lower end of the water passage 8 extends downward through a pumping pipe 9.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a lid body, which is provided to cover the top surface of the pot I/main body 2, and whose negative side is connected to the pot body 2 with a pin 11 so as to be openable and closable, and whose other side is attached to the pot body 2 with a hook 12. are separably connected to.

Reference numeral 13 denotes an air pump, which introduces compressed air by pressurizing it with a pressure body 16 provided on the bottom plate 14 of the lid body 10 and provided through the upper plate part 15 of the lid body 10. The liquid 17 in the medium bottle 3 is pushed up to the outside through the passageway 8 by the pressure of the air.

The spout 19 of the water passage 8 is opened downward and exposed at the upper side position of the pot body 2.

Reference numeral 20 denotes an attachment, which is made of synthetic resin and formed into a simple U-shape in transverse direction, and a protruding step portion 22° 22 is provided on the entire inner circumference of the upper edge of the U-shaped cross section of the attachment 20. At the upper ends of both side walls of .22, outward-facing locking pieces 23.23 are protruded, and these locking pieces 23.23 are connected to both side walls 4b, 4b inner surface 4c of the protrusion 4a of the dish-shaped top plate 4.
, 4c, the attachment 20 is removably provided on the pot body 2 by engaging with locking holes 4d, 4d provided in the pot body 2.

Furthermore, a hook piece 24 as a retaining piece is provided on the lower free end side between the side walls 21 and 21, and by engaging this hook piece 24 with an L-shaped hook piece 25 fixed to the front surface of the pot body 2, This prevents the lower part of the attachment 20 from shaking back and forth and left and right.

Inside the attachment 20, a lower end outlet 26 opens at a lower position than the spout 19 of the water passageway 8, and an upper end outlet 27 has a flow passage 28 that is separably connected to the spout 19 of the water passageway 8. ing.

This flow path 28 is constituted by the inside of a vibrator 31 interposed between an upper tapered hole 29 of the attachment 20 and a lower through hole 30.

If a liquid 17 such as hot water is put in the medium bottle 3 of the air pot configured as described above, and the pressurizing body 16 is pressed down to apply pressure inside the medium bottle 3 with the air pump 13, the liquid 17 will pass through. It is poured out from the water channel 8 via the downstream path 28.

In this case, since the pouring position is low, the drop is small, and a short container such as a teacup can be placed next to the air pot 1 and safely poured without scattering.

When injecting into a tall, large container such as a pot, pinch the tops of the side plates 21, 21 of the attachment 20 and press inward to release the engagement between the locking piece 23 and the locking hole 4d. When the attachment 20 is moved downward and removed, the attachment 20 is removed from the pot body 2 as shown in FIG. 4, and the spout 19 of the water passage 8 is exposed at a high position as shown in FIG.

If the pressurizing body 16 is then pressed down, the liquid 17 is poured out from the spout 19 of the passageway 8.

In this case, since the pouring position is higher, a tall container can be placed below the pouring spout 19, and the liquid can be poured from a place close to the mouth of the container, so that the liquid can be poured safely without scattering.

As shown in the examples above, the air pot of the present invention can adjust the liquid pouring height in two levels (up and down) by attaching and detaching the attachment from the lower part of the spout of the pot body. By selecting the pouring height according to the container, the liquid can be poured from a relatively close place without splashing, and since there is no need to hold or lift the container with your hands, there is no risk of burning your hands, making it extremely safe. Easy to use.

Furthermore, the attachment has locking pieces on both sides of the upper end that engage with locking holes inside both sides of the lower part of the cover, and the lower end has a locking piece that engages with the locking piece on the front of the pot body. It has a simple structure and can be manufactured at low cost, and can be easily attached and detached with one touch by simply pressing the upper side walls of the attachment with your fingers.

Moreover, the only protruding part on the front of the pot body is a hook, so there is no need to worry about it getting caught, making it safe, less likely to break down, and highly durable.
