Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a cover of an air pot.

With conventional Air Pots, the spout is located at the top, so when pouring into a short container like a pot, the liquid will splash out and you will have to lift the container close to the spout to pour the liquid. Must be.

Therefore, a water conduit was removably connected to the spout, and the water conduit extended the spout position downward, making it possible to pour liquid into a short container without having to lift the container. A pot is provided.

A spout cover is attached to the surface of the exterior body to support and cover the water pipe, but the water pipe is removable so that the spout position can be changed to two positions, upper and lower. Therefore, the spout cover must be attached to and removed from the exterior body accordingly.

As an attachment/detachment structure for this threaded part cover, there is one in which the upper end of the cover is locked to the lower surface of the beak of the shoulder body, and the lower end is locked to a holder fixed to the exterior body. There have been problems in that the spout cover may rattle due to installation errors, and a gap may occur at the joint between the upper end of the spout cover and the beak of the shoulder body due to the load on the spout cover.

The present invention was devised in view of these problems, and its purpose is to create a spout in an air pot that does not have defects such as gaps or looseness at the joint between the spout cover and the pot body when the spout cover is attached. The object of the present invention is to provide a cover mounting structure.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are examples of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a metal exterior body constituting the main body of the air pot, 2 is a shoulder body placed and fixed on the upper end of the exterior body 1, and 3 is a shoulder body mounted on the upper surface of the shoulder body 2 via a hinge part 3a. The lid body is configured to be openable and closable and has a built-in air pump (not shown) inside, and 4 is a water injection pipe communicating with the inside of the medium bottle 5.

6 is a pouring part cover according to the present invention, and the spouting part cover 6 is integrally molded in a cylindrical shape as shown in FIGS. 5 to 8, and the beak of the shoulder body 2 is formed at the upper end. It has a communicating tube 1 corresponding to the lower side of the guide tube 2b protruding from the lower surface of the beak section 2a, and a pair of protrusions 8 that engage with protrusions 2c (see FIG. 12) formed on the inner surface of the beak section 2a. The inner surface of the lower end has a water pipe attachment part 9 and a hook part 10, and a spring 11 made of a single spring wire is attached to the hook part 10.

That is, as shown in FIG. 3, the hook part 10 is provided with a central hole 10a and two lips 10b on the upper surface, a stepped part 10c on both sides, and a central bent part 11a of the spring 11. is inserted into the center hole 10a, and the upper side 11b of the spring 11 is placed on the lip 10b,
It is attached by locking the bent portions 11c at both ends of the spring 11 to the stepped portion 10c.

As shown in FIG. 2, the tip of the protrusion 13a of the receiver 12 fixed to the outer surface of the exterior body 1 is elastically pressed into contact with the center bent portion 11a of the spring 11 that protrudes downward from the center hole 10a. It looks like this.

Note that the receiver 12 is attached to the front member 1 as shown in FIG. 4, for example.
3 and a back member 14, the back member 140 base part 14a is fitted into the hole 1a of the exterior body 1 from the back side, and the front member 13 is inserted into the guide grooves 14b on both sides of the base part 14a protruding to the front side. By sliding the guide lips 13b from above and fitting the claws 14c of the back member 14 into the recesses 13c of the front member 13, the outer body 1 is assembled between the flange 14d of the back member 14 and the inner surface of the front member 13. It is sandwiched.

Reference numeral 15 denotes a water conduit, and as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, a plate member 16 at the lower end closes the lower end opening of the spout cover 6.
An upright piece 17 having a protrusion 17a having a T-shaped cross section at the tip is integrally provided at the side end of the plate body 16.

When the water conduit 15 is inserted from below the spout cover 6, the T-shaped protrusion 17a fits into the square hole 9a of the attachment part 9 of the spout cover 6, and the water conduit 15 is further pushed up. Then, the T-shaped protrusion 17a fits into the groove 9b of the attachment part 9 and is locked by the non-return claw 9c to prevent removal.

At the same time, the upper end of the water conduit 15 is fitted to the outside of the communication tube 7 of the spout cover 6, thereby preventing swinging in the front-rear, left-right directions.

Here, a method for attaching the spout cover 6 to which the water conduit 15 is attached to the air pot body will be explained.

First, attach the hook 10 of the spout cover 6 to the protrusion 1 of the receiver 12.
3a, and push down the spout cover 6 to bend the central bent portion 11a of the spring 11 upward.

In this state, the spout cover 6 is rotated toward the exterior body 1 using the hook 10 as a fulcrum, and the protrusion 8 at the upper end of the spout cover 6 is locked to the protrusion 2c of the beak 2a of the shoulder body 2. The exit cover 6 is attached.

When installed, the spout cover 6 is attached to its hook 10.
is pushed up by the spring force of spring 11, so
No gap is generated at the joint between the spouting part cover 6 and the beak part 2a, and there is no looseness.

Therefore, the liquid poured out from the water injection pipe 5 by operating the air pump is smoothly poured out through the guide tube 2b of the beak 2a, the communication tube 7 of the spout cover 6, and the water guide pipe 15, and There is no fear of leakage from the joint between the protruding part cover 6 and the beak part 2a.

In the above embodiment, the spring 11 was provided on the hook part 10 of the spouting part cover 6, but this spring 11
may be provided on the receiver 12 side.

Further, the spring may be formed by bending a wire rod as in the embodiment, or may be a plate spring or a coil spring.

As is clear from the above explanation, according to the present invention, a spring that acts to push up the spout part is provided on either the hook part or the holder of the spout part cover, so that the spout cover can be easily attached. When attaching and detaching, all you have to do is hook the hook on the holder and press down the spout cover against the spring to engage the upper end of the spout cover with the lower surface of the beak of the shoulder body. becomes extremely easy.

Moreover, since the spout cover is constantly pushed up by the spring when installed, there is no gap between the spout cover and the beak, eliminating the risk of liquid leaking out accidentally. It can be installed securely without wobbling.
