[Prior art and its problems] As a measuring rice jug, a measuring rice jug that can be installed in parallel with a kitchen cabinet or a sink has already been proposed as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 59-160040. 21 and rice receptor 22
It is provided so that it can be pulled out.

Even if this device is attached to a sink, rice can be put into the weighing rice jug and the rice can be taken out after being weighed. This also applies to the measuring rice jug disclosed in Utility Model Application Publication No. 188037/1983.

However, in these conventional devices, when putting rice into the rice storage container 21, the rice storage container 2
There was the inconvenience of having to withdraw 1.

The present invention has been made in view of this point, and its purpose is to enable rice to be put into the rice storage container 21 without pulling out the rice storage container 21.

[Technical Problems] The present invention is a measuring rice jug of the type that is attached to a sink, and the height and depth of the top surface of the main body case 1 match that of the sink. In order to be able to easily put rice in without pulling out the rice storage container 21,
The technical challenge is to be able to input rice from the top side of the main body.

[Technical Means] The technical means of the present invention taken to solve the above-mentioned technical problems are as follows: The rice storage container 21 is a box that opens upward, and the rice storage container 21 is mounted on the top plate 12 of the main case 1. A recess is formed at a position facing the opening of the opening 13, and an opening 13 is formed within the recess.
are formed concentrically, and the opening 13 is freely opened and closed by a lid 27 fitted into the recess, and the range from the opening edge of the opening 13 to the periphery of the recess is defined as the collar portion 10. , the collar portion 10
is an inner flange 17 following the edge of the opening 13
and a groove 16 formed on the outer periphery of the inner flange 17 and recessed downward from the flange surface, and an outer flange 15 formed further on the outer periphery of the groove 16, in a closed state. A gasket is provided on the inner surface of the lid 27 and is in contact with the inner flange 17 over the entire area, and furthermore, the upper surface of the lid 27 is composed of one plane, and in the closed state, the upper surface coincides with the upper surface of the top plate 12. That's what I did.

[Operation] The above technical means of the present invention operates as follows.

When the lid 27 is closed, the top surface of the lid 27 and the top surface of the top plate 12 match, so the top surface of the main body case 1 becomes one plane that matches the top surface of the sink. Further, at this time, the space between the periphery of the opening 13 and the lid 27 is in a sealed state with the gasket. Next, when the lid 27 is opened, the open part of the rice storage container 21 is located inside thereof, so that when rice is thrown in from the opening 13, it is stored in the rice storage container 21. At this time, if the rice bag is placed on the top plate 12 or the upper surface of the sink near the top plate 12 and the opening portion is positioned in the opening 13, the rice will be thrown in from the opening portion.

In this lid open state, water adhering to the lid 27 will flow into the flange 10 located below the top plate 12. Since there is a groove 16 on the outer circumferential side of the inner flange 17 located below the top surface of the inner flange 17, this groove 1
The adhered water is stored in the tank 6.

[Effects] Since the present invention has the above configuration, it has the following unique effects.

Rice can be put into the rice storage container 21 simply by opening the lid 27, so when adding rice, the rice storage container 2
There is no need to pull out rice, making it easy to add rice.
Also, when adding this rice, since the top plate 12 functions as a rice bag support, the rice bag is first placed on the top plate 12.
2, the bag can be opened and rice can be put in. There is no need to hold the rice bag while putting in the rice, and even people with limited strength can easily put in the rice.

When the lid 27 is open, the adhering water flows into the opening 1.
3, there is no risk of moisture entering the rice stored in the rice storage container 21.

In addition, when the lid 27 is closed, the main body case 1
Since the upper surface is flat, this upper surface can be effectively used as a cooking table or the like.

[Example] Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 4.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a lid 27 is fitted into a recess formed in a top plate 12 constituting the upper surface of the main case 1.
an opening 13 having a collar 10 within the recess;
is open. In this embodiment, the lid 27 and the opening 13 are configured in a rectangular shape, and the opening position of the opening 13 is concentric with the open upper end of the rice storage container 21 housed in the main case 1. It is something. In this embodiment, in order to facilitate repair and inspection of the rice storage container 21, horizontal bars 25, 25 are attached to both side walls of the rice storage container 21, and these horizontal bars are formed on the inner surface of the side wall of the main body case 1. Fit the guide rails 11, 11 in a paired state,
A rice bin body 2 equipped with an electric measuring device is made removable. The electric weighing device has operation buttons 31, 31 disposed on the front plate 23.
A desired amount of rice can be taken out by this operation.

Further, when the rice jug main body 2 is housed in the main body case 1, a predetermined space is provided between the lower end of the rice jug main body 2 and the bottom of the main body case 1, and the rice receiver 22 is placed within this space. It is inserted so that it can be pulled out. The front plate 23 of the rice jug main body 2 and the front plate 24 of the rice receiver 22 are configured to come into contact with the front edge of the main body case 1 and form one plane when each is inserted into the main body case 1. When installed alongside a sink, they can be arranged in a series as shown in Figure 2.

Next, the above-mentioned flange portion 10 has a structure as shown in FIG. 3, and in this embodiment, a double packing seal structure is adopted. For this reason, the main body case 1
consists of an inner flange 17 that continues to the opening edge of the opening 13, a groove 16 that continues to the outer periphery of the inner flange 17, and an outer flange 15 formed on the outer periphery of the inner flange 17. A first gasket 14 serving as one sealing means is attached, and a second gasket 18 serving as the other sealing device is disposed on the inner surface of the lid 27 at a position facing the inner flange 17. has been done.

The height of the inner flange 17 is set higher than the height of the outer flange 15 located on the outer periphery, and a groove 16 is formed between these flanges.

The lid 27 is formed by bending a plate-shaped body,
A hanging piece is formed around the entire circumference of the peripheral edge, and when the lid 27 is closed, the first packing 14 provided on the outer flange 15 fits into the inner circumferential side of the hanging piece. It's becoming like that. Said first
The thickness of the gasket 14 and the second gasket 18 is set to a predetermined value, and when the lid 27 is closed, the second gasket 14 is in contact with the inner surface of the lid 27, and the other second gasket 18 is on the inner peripheral side. It will come into contact with the flange 17.

Next, as a support structure for the lid 27, a lever 19 bent in an arc shape is adopted, and the fulcrum part 20 of this lever 19 is formed on the inner surface of the lid 12 near the opening 13, so that when the lid 27 is closed, , opening 13
The lever 1 is attached to the inner surface of the lid 27 located on the inner circumferential side of the

is rotatable about the fulcrum, and the lid is supported in such a manner that the fulcrum of rotation does not protrude from the upper surface of the top plate 12.

In this embodiment, the lid 27 is attached to the top plate 12 in a single-opening manner, but the lid 27 may be configured to be removable.

Further, in the above embodiment, the measuring device is electrically operated, and as shown in FIG. 4, a switch 32 that closes the electric circuit to the measuring device 3 only when the rice receiver 22 is fully stored is installed in the main body case. If the rice receiver 2 is installed in the specified position of 1, the rice receiver 2
The weighing device does not operate even if the weighing operation is performed with the weighing device 2 pulled out. Therefore, the inconvenience of discharging rice to a portion other than the rice receiver 22 can be eliminated. If a similar safety device is applied to the rice bin body 2, the effect of preventing erroneous operation will be further improved.

In addition, in cases where a manual weighing device is installed instead of an electric weighing device,
Erroneous operation can also be prevented by interposing a locking device that allows the manual mechanism to operate only when the rice receiver 22 is fully inserted.
