According to the present invention, in the food container lid opening and closing apparatus of the preceding structure of the present applicant, a sealing protruding portion is provided on an elastic member interposed between a hinge shaft and a one-way bearing (clutch bearing) Thereby preventing water and dirt permeating from the hinge shaft to increase the operating life of the hinge and preventing water condensation inside the container lid from flowing down to the floor of the room.

On the other hand, other unspecified objects of the present invention may be further considered within the scope of the following detailed description and easily deduced from the effects thereof.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a friction material, comprising: forming a protrusion on a friction-applying elastic member interposed between a hinge shaft and a unidirectional bearing; inserting a water-receiving plate in an inclined manner below a hinge shaft for opening and closing a lid; A new structure is provided in the rear side of the auxiliary pedestal so that the height of the auxiliary pedestal can be easily adjusted.

According to the above technical structure, the present invention has the following three improved effects as compared with the conventional prior art.

(1) Since the elastic member interposed between the hinge shaft for opening and closing the lid and the one-way bearing having the function of preventing the reverse rotation smoothly maintains the cushioning rotation of the hinge shaft while the sealing member is provided on the elastic member itself on the other hand, It has a good watertightness effect preventing moisture penetration, so that the opening and closing operation of the lid is good, preventing the corrosion or rusting of the bearing. Therefore, it does not cause bad influence such as operation failure or shortening of life time due to long- Can be guaranteed.

② Under the lid and the hinge shaft, the water tray is sloped and joined together. When the lid is opened, the water flowing down due to the fogging phenomenon is not leaked to the floor of the room, and the whole amount is recovered to the inside of the lower thermal insulation container.

③ There is a separate pedestal under the hinge axis on the rear side of the lower thermostatic vessel with a height adjustment by a control nut so that when the lid is opened, the movement of the center of gravity prevents the flow of the thermostatic vessel itself, There are various functional effects such as the use and management of the buffet container.

④ The hinge shaft is made of metal material, but the hinge body is made of synthetic resin, so that the weight of the hinge part can be reduced and manufacturing cost can be reduced.

FIG. 3 is a rear perspective view of the buffet container according to the present invention. Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the hinge shaft of the present invention. Fig.

The general structure of the buffet container 1 is such that the main container 2 in which the inner container 4 is accommodated is arranged at the lower side and the lid 3 is axially supported at the hinge shaft 5 at the upper portion, The elastic member 7 having the unidirectional bearings 8 inserted therein is axially provided so as to have a constant frictional force by surface contact so that when the lid 3 is opened at a certain angle, 8 to stop at the open angle and to close the lid 3 smoothly by a suitable frictional force of the elastic member 7 when the lid 3 is closed with a slight force.

The present invention is characterized in that the elastic member 7 is housed in the protective cap 9 and the auxiliary cover 6 is covered inward so that the elastic member 7 housed in the unidirectional bearing 8 is covered, 7 is integrally formed with a sealing protrusion 71 so that the protrusion 71 is disposed between the hinge shaft 52 and the one-way bearing 8 to provide a function and a waterproof packing function.

In order to reduce the weight of the hinge 5, the hinge shafts 52 at both ends where friction is continuously generated in order to ensure the operability of the hinge are made of a metal material. In order to save weight and materials, The formed hinge body 51 is made of a synthetic resin so that the hinge 5 is manufactured by an insert injection method.

The lid 3 is coupled to the hinge body 51 so as to be coupled with the hinge 5 so as to be coupled to the hinge body 51. The hinge 5 is connected to the lid 3 through the bracket 3a formed on the rear side of the main body container 2, To the main container (2).

On the other hand, a water-receiving tube 13 is disposed below the hinge 5 so that the hook 13a formed on the water-receiving tube 13 is hooked to the support 5a fixed to the outside of the hinge 5, The water outlet 13b formed at the lower portion of the cylinder 13 is inserted into the insertion port 21 formed at the rear side of the main body container 2 and the water dropped by the steam condensation at the side of the lid 3 flows into the main container 2 And the support bolt 12a (12b) is attached to the support piece 11, which is fixed to the outside of the main body container 2, with a pedestal 12 composed of a screw rod at the rear of the main body container 2. [ ), Which can be adjusted in height.

The present invention has the following operational effects.

7 is a partially enlarged sectional view of the hinge shaft.

The boss member 7 disposed on both sides of the hinge shaft 5 is generally made of a soft resin such as silicone rubber or PE (polyethylene) and is coupled with the hinge shaft 5 in a state of having a constant frictional force, The elastic member 7 is covered inside and outside by the protective cap 9 and the auxiliary cover 6 so that the outer surface of the elastic member 7 is beautiful and the inside of the elastic member 7 is particularly smooth. Since the protruding portion 71 is integrally formed with the protruding portion 71 and is interposed between the hinge shaft 5 and the unidirectional bearing 8 to serve as its own packing, In addition to the dust, when the container is cleaned, the moisture does not permeate into the bearing side, so that the one-way bearing (8) does not rust and the stable operation of the hinge is ensured for a long period of time.

In the conventional case, water is poured into the unidirectional bearing 8 when the container is cleaned, and thus the hinge is not operated properly due to unhygienic problems such as running down of the grease when used for a long period of time. These side effects are greatly improved.
Since the elastic member 7 is formed in a polygonal shape rather than a circular shape, the elastic member does not rotate along the rotation of the hinge shaft 52, so that the packing function or the surface contact friction function is stably maintained.

8, a water receiving tray 13 is disassemblably installed at a lower portion of the hinge shaft 5 so that water generated by the fogging phenomenon inside the lid 3 when the lid 3 is opened is gathered in one place, (13b) to the inside of the main container (2).

Therefore, in the conventional case, when the lid is opened, moisture condensed inside the lid is prevented from flowing down to the indoor floor while damaging the hinge shaft, thereby improving the cleanliness and hygiene.

9, a pedestal 12, which is a threaded rod, is vertically installed on the supporting piece 11 below the hinge shaft 5 on the rear side of the main body container 2 and is provided with adjusting means such as bolts and nuts Since the center of gravity is moved rearward when the lid 3 is opened, the entire main container 2 is prevented from flowing or falling, so that the buffet container can be used more stably. There is an effect.
