Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention [0001]
  • The present invention relates to the lid of the vacuum bottles for closing the opening part on the top of the liquid containers and more specifically it relates to the lid which does not have to be removed every time the liquid is poured. [0002]
  • 2. Prior Art [0003]
  • The lid is used to close the part for pouring the liquid, which is the opening part of the liquid container and in most of the cases, it is so constructed as to be attached to the liquid container by screw-encasing. [0004]
  • However, the screw-encasing involves rotating the whole part of the lid every time the liquid is poured, wherein the lid is rotated to be removed and attached, thus making the pouring action troublesome. This is how the structure as disclosed in the patent publication No. Hei9-299254 is thought out. In other words, in the center of the lid there is formed a pouring inlet piercing through from the top to the bottom. According to this construction, the liquid can be poured by simply opening up the upper lid attached on the upper part of the lid, which upper lid can be opened and closed and thus, the pouring action can be convenient as the lid does not have to be taken off. It is noted that according to the above-mentioned invention, there is no structure for actively closing the pouring outlet for pouring the liquid. So long as it is used normally, there might be no need to be provided with the means for closing the pouring outlet, but in case the liquid container should fall down, the liquid might be spilt out after passing through the pouring outlet. [0005]
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The main purpose of the present invention is to prevent the liquid from spilling out while it is easy to pour the liquid into the vacuum bottle and to get rid of any inconvenience. [0006]
  • This is also to provide a lid of the liquid container with a pouring outlet for pouring the liquid into the liquid container to which it is to be attached, while the pouring inlet is piercing through vertically and in the below side of the whole part of the said lid there is formed a pouring outlet for pouring the liquid by inclining the liquid container, together with the closing material for closing the said pouring outlet in a manner allowing it to be opened and closed, wherein there is provided a resilient means to push toward the closing direction in respect of the said closing material and to provide a lid of the liquid container provided with the operating material for opening the said pouring outlet, while shifting the position of the closing material against the resilient force of the said resilient means. [0007]
  • When the liquid is poured into the liquid container provided with the above said lid, the pouring inlet is used while the lid is on. When pouring the liquid inside, there is no need to take off the lid, and thus it takes only an easy and simple task to pour the liquid inside. When the liquid is thus poured, the liquid inside will not spill over through the pouring outlet even if the liquid container is inclined. This is because the pouring outlet is actively closed by the closing material provided with the resilient force of the resilient means and even when the liquid container falls down, it is possible to prevent the liquid from spilling over from the pouring outlet. [0008]
  • When the liquid is poured out, the closing material may be shifted in respect of its position by operating the operating material to open the pouring outlet. The operating material may be composed of an appropriate means like a pushing button and levers. [0009]
  • Furthermore, on the top of the said pouring outlet there may be formed a concave part in the form of a funnel so that the liquid can be poured easily without spilling over. [0010]
  • Additionally, on the top of the pouring outlet there may be provided a lid capable of opening and closing by a simple action other than a screw-encasing and when the pouring outlet is closed by the said lid, the liquid may be prevented from spilling out of the pouring outlet when the liquid container falls down, without having trashes get into the liquid container or changing the temperature of the liquid. For instance, on the top of the lid there is attached a lid part for opening and closing and a retaining part for keeping closed the said lid for opening and closing, wherein below the above said lid part for opening and closing there may be formed a closing protrusion for closing the upper part of the pouring outlet. [0011]
  • Furthermore, the said operating material may have the encasing part on one end and on the other end there may be formed a lever for pushing down, provided with the pushing down device. The lever-principle may be applied and it takes only light force and easy operation. [0012]
  • In this case, the pushing part may be placed on the upper side of the handle formed onto the liquid container. By using the fingers holding the handle and the thumb, the pushing-down lever can be lowered, thus easily pouring the liquid with one hand only.[0013]
