Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a heated cooked rice container.

Conventionally, in rice warming containers, a pilot lamp is placed on the bottom side of the container body to indicate that the rice is being kept warm or that the rice is being cooked or that it is being kept warm. There was a problem in that it was difficult to confirm whether the lights were off due to the angle.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention accommodates the pilot lamp in a lamp housing chamber formed in the shoulder member that connects the inner container and the outer case, thereby improving the visibility of the lamp and simplifying the lamp mounting structure. The purpose is to measure the

Hereinafter, some embodiments of the cooked rice heat-insulating container of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the present invention, in which reference numeral 1 denotes a container body, 2 a lid body pivotally connected to the container body 1 via a hinge pin 3 so as to be freely openable and closable; Reference numeral 4 indicates a lever receiver for locking the lid body 2.

The container body 1 has an inner container made of aluminum which constitutes an inner circumferential surface, an outer case 6 made of sheet metal which constitutes an outer circumferential surface, and an annular shoulder member I made of synthetic resin. It is composed of .

The shoulder member 7 is formed with an inverted cross section, and the inner container 5
It consists of a horizontal part 7a to which the outer case 6 is fixed with screws, and a peripheral wall part 7b to which the outer case 6 is forcefully fitted.

In this embodiment, a lamp accommodating chamber 8 consisting of a recess with an opening on the outside is formed at a proper location in the shoulder member peripheral wall portion 7b excluding the hinge portion and the lever receiving portion.

At the bottom of the lamp storage chamber 8, there are engagement holes 9, in which leg portions 12, 12 of a lamp cover 11, which will be described later, are forcefully fitted at upper and lower positions.
9 is formed.

A pilot lamp 13 is housed in the lamp housing chamber 8 with a lead wire 14 locked to a locking lip 10 protruding from the lamp housing chamber 8 .

Further, the outer opening of the lamp housing chamber 8 is covered with a lamp cover 11 made of a translucent material.

The lamp cover 11 has a pair of protruding legs 12.12, and the legs 12, 12 are inserted into the engagement holes 9, 9.
The lamp cover 11 is fixed by being force-fitted into the lamp cover 11.

Note that reference numeral 15 is a rice bowl disposed within the inner container 5.

In the case of this embodiment, only the lamp cover 11 is required as the mounting part, and the number of parts and assembly man-hours can be greatly reduced, and the impact on the pilot lamp 13 when the lid is opened and closed can be reduced.

4 and 5 show a second embodiment of the present invention, in which the lamp housing chamber 8 is formed as a hole penetrating the shoulder member peripheral wall 7b, and the lamp cover 11 is made of a separate member. It is fixed to the lamp fixing box 16.

The lamp fixing box 16 is made of a color that reflects light well, and engagement holes 17 and 17 that engage with the legs 12 and 12 of the lamp cover 11 are formed in the upper and lower sides 16a and 16b.

FIG. 6 shows a third embodiment of the present invention, and the cooked rice heat-insulating container of this embodiment is also used for cooking rice.

In this case, the lamp housing chamber 8 is the lever receiver 4 (see Figure 1).
The lamp accommodating chamber 8 accommodates two pilot lamps 13, 13, one for displaying rice cooking and one for displaying heat retention.

Further, the lamp cover 11 is composed of translucent members 11a, 11a at a position facing the pilot lamp 13°13.

Reference numeral 18 indicates a lamp holder.

In the case of this embodiment, the upper wall 8a of the lamp accommodating chamber can prevent the spilled liquid that accumulates on the horizontal portion 7a of the shoulder member from entering the lamp accommodating chamber 8.

Next, the effects of the cooked rice heat-insulating container of the present invention are listed below.

That is, according to the present invention, (1) the lamp accommodation chamber 8 in which the pilot lamp 13 is to be accommodated;
Since the pilot lamp 13 is formed at an appropriate position on the shoulder member 7 that connects the inner container 5 and the outer case 6, the pilot lamp 13 is located above the container body 1, making it easy to see whether the lamp is turned on or off.

2. The pilot lamp mounting structure can be constructed by simply covering the outer opening of the lamp storage chamber 8 with the lamp cover 11 made of a translucent material, so the number of parts and assembly man-hours can be reduced. , etc. have practical effects.
