, a check valve 33 provided at the air supply port 29, and another check valve (not shown) provided at the intake port,
The wave motion of the diaphragm 28 forces air into the container 14. Reference numeral 34 designates a pump switch which is located within the mechanism section 13 and has a push button 35 protruding outward, and is, for example, a normally open type switch inserted between the plug receiver 20 and the motor 31, and is turned on when pressed by the push button 35. The motor 31 is driven only when 36
1 is a thermostat that detects temperature changes in the container 14 and turns on and off, and controls the supply of electricity to the heater 17 to maintain a predetermined temperature.

The car pot has the above-mentioned structure, and the pot body 11 is placed inside the car, for example, as shown in the fourth figure.
It is used by being installed between the driver's seat 38 and passenger seat 39 of a car.

Next, an example of the installation structure of the pot body 11 is shown in the fifth section.
This will be explained according to the diagram. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 40 denotes an installation stand (installation member) fixed to the floor or the like so as to cover the handbrake device 41. A fixing screw 42 is internally fixed to the upper part of the installation stand, and the threaded part is fixed on the upper surface. stand out. Reference numeral 43 denotes a through hole drilled at the bottom of the pot body 11, and a mounting bracket (installation member) 4 is installed inside the hole.
4 so that the screw holes 45 match. Therefore, the pot body 11 is inserted into the screw hole 45 of the mounting bracket 44.
The installation base 4 is screwed onto the fixing screw 42.
Install it on 0.

(Operation) When the pot body 11 is installed as shown in the fourth figure and connected to the car battery 23, the heater 17 boils water by heating the liquid 16 in the container 14, and when the temperature rises to a predetermined temperature, the thermostat 36 This function keeps the temperature at a predetermined temperature.

In order to take out hot water, the pump 26 is operated by operating the push button 35 with one hand and turning on the pump switch 34, and the hot water is poured out from the hot water supply passage 24 by holding the pot 25 with the other hand. By receiving hot water, a predetermined amount of hot water can be obtained. In the conventional carpot shown in the first diagram,
In order to pour boiling water while holding the pot in one hand and holding the tip in the other hand, you need to place the pot on the dashi board once when you put the lid on after pouring the boiling water.
On the other hand, it may be necessary to close the lid with your open hand while holding the pot with a part of the pot itself, and if the vibration of the car is applied at this time, there is a risk that the pot or pot may fall over and spill boiling water. In addition, there is a problem of boiling water spilling from one pot while the other is occupied, so in this embodiment, the pot body 11 is installed, the pump switch 34 is turned off, and the pump 26 is turned off.
If you stop the hot water, the hot water will stop flowing immediately, so the hot water supply will stop immediately.
You only need to pay attention to step 5, and you will almost never spill boiling water, which is extremely convenient.
