Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a dispensing device for a liquid container, which dispenses liquid in the container by operating an air pressurized or axial flow pump.

In general, this type of liquid container is normally used while standing upright on a table or floor without tilting the container body even when pouring.

However, in conventional liquid containers of this type, the amount by which the liquid inlet protrudes from the main body exterior case is limited due to design or ease of packaging.

Therefore, when supplying hot water to a teapot or the like, the outer peripheral surface of the teapot comes into contact with the roundness of the outer case, making it difficult to position the hot water supply opening of the teapot below the pouring opening.

Also, because the pouring spout is high, if you pour hot water into the teapot while it is still on the stand, the hot water will splash out, which could be dangerous.

Therefore, there was the inconvenience of having to hold the teapot etc. in hand to pour hot water.

The present invention attempts to solve the above-mentioned problems by substantially increasing the distance between the liquid inlet and the exterior case using a detachable adapter that communicates with the opening at the tip of the spouting tube.

Hereinafter, a dispensing device for a thermos flask, which is a liquid container, according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a press-type air pot which is an embodiment of the present invention.

In Fig. 1, numeral 1 is an air pot, 2 is a liquid container, and 3 is an air pot.
4 is a lower opening member; 4 is an upper lid that can be freely fitted to the lower opening member 3;
5 is an exterior case, 6 is a bellows-type air pump installed in the upper lid 4, 7 is a plug insertion hole, 8 is an inner plug integrally formed on the lower surface of the upper lid 4, 9 is a pumping pipe, and 10 is a pourer. The exit pipes are shown respectively.

This air pot 1 uses an air pump 6 to force pressurized air into the liquid container 2 by pressing down on a presser cover 15, and uses the pressurized air to pump liquid W through a pumping pipe 9 and a spouting pipe 10 to the outside. It is designed to be pushed out.

A hole 16 is formed in the beak portion 12 of the lower mouth member 3, through which the tip of the spouting tube 10 faces.

Therefore, in this embodiment, an adapter 11 made of an abbreviated bent tube and having a larger diameter than the spouting tube 10 is attached to the hole 16 in a detachable and rotatable manner.
The opening 13 at the tip of the spouting pipe 10 faces the inlet 11a (
As a result, the spout pipe 10 and the adapter 11 are in communication with each other.

When the adapter 11 is not in use, it can be rotated to a position close to the side surface of the thermos bottle body, as shown by reference numeral 11' in FIG.

The adapter 11 has a flange-shaped fitting part 17 formed at its end on the side of the port 11a, and a downwardly directed liquid inlet 14 at its tip on the side of the outlet 11b.

However, secondly, the adapter 11 has the liquid inlet 1 in the hole 16.
4 and the fitting portion 17 is fitted into the peripheral edge 16 of the hole 16.
It is attached to the lower mouth member 3 by detachably and rotatably engaging with a.

Note that a protrusion 18 is formed on the peripheral edge 16a of the hole 16 to ensure engagement with the fitting portion 17.

When the adapter 11 is attached to the lower opening member 3, the liquid inlet 14 at its tip is located farther from the outer case 5 than the tip opening 13 of the spouting tube 10.

The distance 1 between the liquid injection port 14 and the surface of the exterior case 5 is
The distance 1' between the opening 13 at the tip of the spouting tube 10 and the surface of the outer case 5, which was conventionally used as a liquid inlet, is twice or more than twice as large.

Therefore, even when supplying hot water to something such as a teapot where there is a large gap between the hot water supply port and the outer peripheral surface of the main body, the hot water supply operation can be easily and reliably performed.

Furthermore, since the adapter 11 is rotatable, when not in use, it can be rotated so that the liquid inlet 14 side is positioned on the thermos bottle main body side so that it does not get in the way.

Incidentally, this adapter 11 is to be removed and stored separately when packing the thermos.

What is shown in FIG. 3 is another embodiment of the present invention.

In this air pot 1, there is no beak 12, and the spout pipe 10 is integrally formed with the lower mouth member 3.

Therefore, in this case, the adapter 11 is detachably and rotatably attached by forcibly fitting the fitting part 17 into the protrusion 10a formed on the outer periphery of the distal end of the spouting tube 10.

In FIGS. 1 and 3, the reference numeral 19 indicates a valve body that closes the discharge port 20 of the air pump 6 when not in use, and the reference numeral 21 indicates a heat insulating material filled in the inner plug 8.

In the above embodiment, a manual press type air pot was explained, but it goes without saying that the dispensing device of the present invention can also be applied to an electric air pot or an electric pot using an axial flow pump. .

Next, the effects of the liquid container dispensing device of the present invention will be listed below.

That is, according to the present invention, (1) The adapter 11 that communicates with the opening 13 at the tip of the spouting tube 10 is attached to the lower mouth member 3, and the liquid inlet 14 at the tip of the adapter 11 and the outer case 5 of the liquid container are connected. The distance 1 between the dispensing tube 10 and the outer case 5 is the distance 1' between the distal end opening 13 of the spouting tube 10 and the outer case 5.
Because it is twice or more than
(2) Since the liquid injection port 14 of the adapter 11 is located below the tip opening 13 of the spouting tube 10, it can be easily and reliably poured into a cup, bowl, etc. Even if you pour out the container while it is placed on the pot stand without holding it in your hand, the pouring liquid will be less likely to scatter, making it even more convenient to use. Since the adapter 11 communicating with the opening 13 at the tip is rotatably provided to a position close to the side surface of the liquid container, when the liquid container is not in use, the adapter 11 can be stored on the side surface of the liquid container, eliminating any obstructive protrusions. It has such practical effects.

In addition, as shown in FIG.
When the tip opening 13 of the air pot is exposed, there is an advantage that a splash phenomenon in the air pot can be prevented.
