The cover chamber and the tank chamber define a cavity to accommodate the internal unit. A hinge is disposed to one end wall of the top of the opening of the tank is articulated to the cover. The hinge includes a first articulation plate and a second articulation plate with both hinged to each other by means of an articulation pivot. The first articulation plate is locked to the inner sidewall of the cover and the second articulation plate is locked to the inner sidewall of the tank. The present invention is characterized in that an elastic press member extends from the articulation plate disposed in the tank towards one end of the bottom of the tank to compress the internal unit.
- The relation between the extension from the articulation plate disposed in the tank towards one end of the bottom of the tank and the tank wall indicates a fork shape to tightly compress the internal unit in the tank.
- A protrusion is disposed at the extension from the articulation plate disposed in the tank towards one end of the bottom of the tank to tightly compress the internal unit in the tank.
- The second articulation plate disposed in the tank made of three integrated parts has its upper part articulated to the first articulation plate in the cover with the middle part being related to a fixation section and secured by insertion into a slot provided on the end wall.
- The second articulation plate in the tank also comprised of three parts has it upper part articulated to the first articulation plate in the cover and the middle part of the second articulation plate is related to a fixation section soldered to the inner side of the end wall or adhered to the slot provided on the end wall so to compress the internal unit and locked or soldered to the fixation section of the second articulation plate.
- The head comprised of three integrated parts has its lower end articulated to the second articulation plate in the tank. The middle part is related to a fixation section to be inserted to a slot disposed on the wall and the top end extends to define a cavity with the inner wall of the cover to accommodate a locating member of the internal unit. The locating member is articulated to the body of the internal unit.
- The first articulation plate disposed in the cover is made of three integrated parts and has its lower end articulated to the second articulation plate in the tank. The middle part related to a fixation section soldered or adhered to the inner side of the end wall. The top of the first articulation plate extends to define a cavity with the inner wall of the cover for the locating member of the internal unit. The locating member is articulated to one end of the body of the internal unit.
- The present invention easily overcomes the correct matching problem between the tank and the internal unit by extending the articulation plate in the tank towards one end at the bottom of the tank to tightly compress the internal unit. Since this method involves a direct change on the hinge, change of other parts of the product is not required to simplify the process.
