Description

  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hot water supply container such as an iron bottle and a kettle for heating and storing the stored liquid out of the container.

  Conventionally, as a hot water supply container 9 such as an iron bottle, a kettle, etc. for heating and pouring the stored liquid out of the container, as shown in FIG. 6, circular openings 91 provided on the top and side portions are provided. A container main body 93 for containing a liquid such as hot water having a spout 92, a removable disk-like lid 94 covering the opening 91, and the opening 91 straddling in the same direction as the mounting direction of the spout 92 A U-shaped handle 95 is generally provided. Such a hot water supply container 9 is dispensed by holding the handle portion 95 and tilting the container main body 93 in the direction of the spout 92.

  However, the hot water supply container 9 in a state where the liquid such as hot water is stored in the container body 93 has a considerable weight, and its lifting and lowering and hot water supply work require a large force. Further, since the grip portion 95 is provided in the same direction as the installation direction of the spout 92, the container main body 93 is twisted in the forward direction so that the wrist holding the grip portion 95 is twisted particularly in the hot water supply operation. It is necessary to tilt in the direction of the outlet 92, which places a burden on the wrist. From such a thing, the conventional hot water supply container 9 has a problem that the burden is large for a weak user such as a woman or an elderly person, and it is inconvenient for casual use in daily life.

  The present invention has been made based on the above-mentioned circumstances, and it is difficult to put a heavy load on the wrist especially during the hot water supply operation, and even for a weak user such as a woman or an elderly person An object of the present invention is to provide a hot water supply container unit which can be carried out easily and stably.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, firstly, the present invention comprises a container body for containing liquid, a U-shaped handle portion, and a spout projecting from the side of the container body, the handle The hot water supply container is provided with a portion in the upper portion of the container body in a direction orthogonal to the installation direction of the spout, and a pair of protrusions are provided on both side surfaces of the container body in the direction orthogonal to the installation direction of the spout And a support table for supporting the hot water supply container so as to be able to swing in the installation direction of the spout, the support table comprising a swing mechanism having a pair of swing members, and a receiving member, and the pair A pair of supporting members corresponding to the swinging members, each of the pair of swinging members has a mounting portion for rotatably mounting the protrusion at one end, A rotating shaft is provided at a location separated from the mounting portion, and the receiving member is connected to the other end. Are, the pair of support members, to provide a hot water supply container unit, characterized in that rotatably supports the swing mechanism by the rotary shaft (invention 1).

  A pair of projections provided on both sides of the container body of the hot water supply container is placed at a predetermined position on the support table, and the handle of the hot water supply container is handed to the hot water supply container from the protrusion side of the hot water supply container unit. Apply a light force to push out toward the outlet, or place a hand on the handle of the hot water supply container from the outlet side of the hot water supply container unit to lightly pull the container body in the direction of the discharge outlet When it is hung up, first, the hot water supply container tilts in the direction of the spout with the pair of protrusions itself as the rotation shaft, and stops when the lower portion of the spout abuts on the receiving member constituting the swing mechanism. If a force is continuously applied to the hot water supply container as it is, then the downward force applied to the receiving member acts as a rotational force that lifts the swinging member upward with the rotating shaft of the swinging member as a fulcrum. Since the rocking mechanism starts rotating with the rotation shaft as a fulcrum, as the rocking mechanism rotates, the entire hot water supply container tilts in the direction of the spout. As described above, according to the invention (invention 1), even when hot water is contained in the container body of the hot water supply container and the weight is considerable, it is provided in the direction orthogonal to the installation direction of the spout. It is possible to easily perform the hot water supply operation without twisting the wrist by simply putting a hand on the handle part to be gripped and lightly applying pressure to the container body.

  In the said invention (invention 1), it is preferable that the said mounting part has a movable space for the said container for hot-water supply mounted to move to the installation direction of the said outlet (invention 2).

  According to this invention (Invention 2), the protrusion provided on the hot water supply container when the hot water supply container is tilted in the outlet direction along with the rotation of the swing mechanism with the rotation shaft of the swing member as the fulcrum. Since the unit moves in the movable space of the mounting unit in the direction of the pouring outlet, it is possible to prevent the falling water point from receding, and it is possible to easily perform the hot water supply operation even when the pouring approaches the end.

  According to the container unit for hot water supply of the present invention, the handle portion provided in the direction orthogonal to the installation direction of the pouring outlet even when the container body of the hot water supply container contains hot water etc. and becomes a considerable weight. It is possible to easily perform the hot water supply operation without twisting the wrist by simply pushing the container body lightly in the direction of the pouring port by putting the hand on the container.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of a hot water supply container unit of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings as appropriate. The embodiments described below are for the purpose of facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and do not limit the present invention at all. In the following description, as shown in FIGS. 1-5, the installation direction of the spout 3 with respect to the central axis A of the container body 1 of the hot water supply container 10 in a horizontally installed (or supported) state. Is a Y-axis direction, a horizontal direction orthogonal to the Y-axis is an X-axis direction, and a vertical direction orthogonal to the X-axis and the Y-axis is a Z-axis direction. In the positive three-axis directions, the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction indicated by arrows in the drawing are respectively positive. In the present embodiment, the hot water supply container 10 is configured such that a straight line connecting the installation direction of the spout 3 and the central axis A is orthogonal to a straight line connecting the pair of protrusions 4.

<Container for hot water supply>
The hot water supply container 10 provided in the hot water supply container unit according to the present embodiment is a cast iron hot water supply container, a so-called iron bottle, and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the container body 1 containing a liquid, and the container In the opening 11 provided in the upper portion of the main body 1, the removable disk-like lid 5 covering the opening 11, the spout 3 projecting from the side surface portion of the container main body 1, and A U-shaped handle 2 provided in the direction orthogonal to the installation direction of the outlet 3 and a pair of projections 4 provided on both side surfaces of the container body 1 in the direction orthogonal to the installation direction of the spout 3 Prepare.

[Container body]
The container body 1 is for containing liquid, and has a substantially cylindrical shape having a slightly smaller diameter on the Z-axis negative direction side (lower side in the drawing) than the diameter on the Z-axis positive direction side (upper side in the drawing) . An opening 11 for introducing a liquid is provided on the Z-axis positive direction side of the container body 1. In addition, a spout 3 for spouting liquid is provided integrally with the side surface of the container body 1 on the Y-axis positive direction side, and both side surface portions on the X-axis direction side are provided. A pair of projections 4 are provided to enable the container body 1 to swing in the positive Y-axis direction. Furthermore, at the edge of the opening 11 of the container body 1, a pair of attachment holes 12 for attaching the handle portion 2 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a convex or concave full water level indication scale M indicating the water level at the time of full water is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the container body 1. As a result, the user can visually judge the full water level, and therefore, by exceeding the full water level, the center of gravity of the entire hot water supply container 10 can be changed as much as possible or the liquid can be boiled to cause boilout. it can.

[Open]
The opening 11 is provided on the Z-axis positive direction side (upper side in the drawing) of the container body 1 so that the peripheral portion thereof is parallel to the horizontal plane (X-Y plane). A lid receiving portion 111 for mounting the lid 5 is formed on the inner peripheral portion of the opening 11. The diameter of the opening 11 is smaller than the maximum diameter of the container body 1.

[Note exit]
The spout 3 is provided integrally with the container main body 1 at a side surface portion on the Y-axis positive direction side (left side in the drawing) of the container main body 1. As shown in FIG. 2, among the boundary points between the container main body 1 and the outlet 3, the outlet 3 has a boundary point a on the positive side in the Z-axis direction and a boundary point b on the negative side in the Z-axis direction. When this occurs, the boundary point a is located slightly on the Z-axis positive direction side (upper side in the drawing) than the full water level display scale M. By providing the injection port 3 at such a position, a space is present inside the injection port 3 even when water is full, and therefore it is possible to prevent hot water and the like from being blown out from the injection port 3 at the time of boiling.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the pouring spout 3 is provided such that the lower portion thereof and the bottom portion of the container body 1 form a continuous surface. By providing the spout 3 in this manner, the movement of the liquid from the inside of the container body 1 to the spout 3 is smoothly performed, so that the hot water supply can be smoothly performed. In addition, it is inevitable that the lower part of the spout 3 and the bottom of the container body 1 form a continuous surface while the boundary point a is positioned slightly above the full water level indication scale M. Since the boundary point b is located on the Z axis negative direction side (lower side in the figure) of the container body 1, the inclination angle of the container body 1 at the time of the end of pouring can be reduced. Therefore, for example, it is possible to prevent the lid 5 from falling off the opening 11 at the time of complete pouring, which is also effective in terms of safety. In the present embodiment, the inclination angle at the end of pouring of the container body 1 is about 60 degrees.

[Holder]
The handle portion 2 is a substantially U-shaped member, and each of its end portions is attached to the pair of attachment holes 12 of the container main body 1 so that the direction orthogonal to the installation direction of the spout 3 (X axis In the direction, the central axis A of the container body 1 is provided so as to straddle the opening 11. In the present embodiment, the handle portion 2 is attached so as to be able to be raised and lowered only in the Y-axis negative direction side with respect to the mounting hole 12, and the range of an angle that can be raised and lowered is 0 degrees-90 degrees. Since the handle portion 2 has such a configuration, when introducing a liquid such as water to the container main body 1 from the opening 11, the introduction operation can be easily performed by tilting the handle portion 2 in the negative Y-axis direction by 90 degrees. In the case of hot water supply, it is possible to tilt the entire hot water supply container 10 simply by putting a hand on the handle part 2 at the 0 degree position and applying a light force in the Y-axis positive direction side. it can. The handle portion 2 may be fixed to the mounting hole 12.

  The shape of the handle portion 2 is substantially U-shaped so that the hot water supply container 10 can be easily raised and lowered or the hot water supply operation is easy. Here, substantially U-shaped means a shape which is curved or bent so that both ends of the handle portion 2 approach each other, and the shape is not limited to the U-shape, but it may be U-shaped, semicircular, or horseshoe It is a concept including other shapes such as a shape.

[protrusion]
The protrusions 4 are provided in a pair on both side surface portions on the X axis direction side of the container main body 1. The position where the projection 4 is provided is, as shown in FIG. 2, vertical so that the hot water supply container 10 can be kept in balance horizontally from the empty state to the full water state of the container body 1 In the direction (Z-axis direction), the horizontal direction (Y-axis direction) of the hot water storage container 10 in the state where the liquid is contained in the container body 1 up to the full water level indication scale M In the case of), in consideration of the weight of the spout 3, it is slightly on the Y-axis positive direction side (left side in the drawing) from the central axis A of the container body 1.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the protrusion 4 is configured by a substantially cylindrical tip portion 41 and a shaft portion 42 having a diameter smaller than this. With such a shape of the projection 4, the tip 41 of the projection 4 is hooked to a predetermined position of the rocking mechanism 6 described later, so that the hot water supply container 10 can be easily detached from the rocking mechanism 6. It can prevent. The shape of the protrusion 4 is not particularly limited as long as it can be rotatably mounted on the mounting portion 612 of the swing member 61 of the swing mechanism 6 described later. it can.

[Lid]
The lid 5 has a removable disk shape covering the opening 11 and has a knob 51 integrally provided at the center thereof. In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) of the lid 5 is, as shown in FIG. Since the cross-sectional shape of the lid 5 is substantially reverse arc-shaped as described above, it is possible to release the vapor in the container main body 1 from the central portion to the peripheral portion along the shape of the lid 5. Since the pressure release from the case is promoted, the rise of the internal pressure due to the temperature rise can be suppressed, and the boil-out liquid can be prevented from being blown out from the gap of the peripheral portion of the lid 5.

  In addition, since the center of gravity of the lid 5 itself is lowered downward and stability is increased by the shape of the lid 5 as described above, even when the inclination angle of the container main body 1 becomes large at the time of hot water supply, The lid 5 can be prevented from easily falling off the opening 11.

  An upper surface portion of the knob 51 of the lid 5 is parallel to a horizontal surface (X-Y plane), and a height in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) is larger than the height in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) of the lid 5 Have. With such a configuration of the knob 51, when the lid 5 is turned over and placed on a top plate or the like, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the rim of the lid is spherical as in the case where the knob is spherical. Since the balance of the lid 5 can be maintained in a floating state with the flat upper surface portion of the knob 51 as a fulcrum without the lid rotating along, the wetting of the top plate etc. with water droplets can be suppressed. it can.

The pedestal member 8 is configured such that a commercially available desktop heater can be installed on the upper side (the positive side in the Z-axis). As shown in FIG. 5, the pedestal member 8 may have a structure in which the hot water supply container 10 integrally has an installation base 81 for placing a tea pot or the like from which a liquid such as hot water is poured out. The material of the base member 8 is not particularly limited as long as it has both heat resistance and mechanical strength, and for example, a cast iron or wooden member is suitably used.

  Next, the operation of the hot water supply container unit 100 will be specifically described with reference to FIG.

<Operation of the hot water storage container unit>
First, the hot water supply container 10 containing water up to the full water level indication mark M is disposed in a commercially available tabletop heater installed at a predetermined position of the pedestal member 8. The desktop heater is turned on to heat the hot water supply container 10. At this time, the hot water supply container 10 is not in contact with the side surface of the support member 7 because the protrusion 4 of the container body 1 is positioned at the cut-out portion 71 provided in the main body of the support member 7.

  When the water in the container body 1 reaches boiling by heating, the desktop heater is turned off, and the pair of projections 4 of the container body 1 are placed on the upper surface portions of the pair of support members 7, respectively. At this time, the tip end portions 41 of the pair of protrusions 4 of the container main body 1 are in contact with the end portion on the Y-axis negative direction side in the upper surface portion of the support member 7 and stopped. On the other hand, the shaft portions 42 of the pair of protrusions 4 of the container main body 1 contact the end portions on the Y-axis negative direction side on the mounting portion 612 of the swinging member 61 provided inside the support member 7. Since it is in a state of contact, the force in the negative Z-axis direction received by the mounting portion 612 of the rocking member 61 from the shaft portion 42 of the projection 4 fulcrum the rotation axis X of the rocking mechanism 6 by its own weight. Rotation is blocked. By this operation, as shown in FIG. 5A, the hot water supply container 10 is horizontally supported by the support 20 in a state of being separated from the desktop heater by a predetermined distance in the positive Z-axis direction (neutral position ).

  Next, a teapot or the like for receiving the hot water poured out from the hot water supply container 10 is installed on the installation base 81 of the pedestal member 8, and then the handle portion 2 of the hot water supply container 10 in the neutral position is handed Apply a light force to push the main unit 1 in the direction of the outlet 3. Then, first, the hot water supply container 10 rotates on the upper surface portion of the support member 7 with the shaft portion 42 of the protrusion 4 as a rotation axis, and tilts in the direction of the spout 3. As shown in FIG. 5 (b), tilting with the projection 4 itself as the rotation axis stops when the lower portion of the spout 3 abuts on the contact portion 621 of the receiving member 62 (first inclined position) .

  When a force is continuously applied to the hot water supply container 10 at the first inclined position, then the swing mechanism 6 starts rotating in the forward direction with the rotation axis X as a fulcrum. This is because the force in the negative Z-axis direction applied to the receiving member 62 constituting the rocking mechanism 6 acts as a rotational force that lifts the rocking member 61 in the positive Z-axis direction with the rotation axis X as a fulcrum. With the rotation of the rocking mechanism 6, in the hot water supply container 10, the shaft portions 42 of the pair of protrusions 4 positioned on the mounting portion 612 of the rocking member 61 are the rocking members 61 a and 61 b. By being pushed up in the positive direction of the Z-axis by this, it tilts in the direction of the spout 3 while being separated from the support member 7.
