Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "Field of industrial application" This invention relates to teapots, and provides a new teapot whose lid does not fall off even if it is tilted when pouring hot water or handling it. It is. In addition, teapots in this invention mean ordinary teapots, clay bottles, pots, water jugs, etc., and can be used to pour hot water, tea ceremony, water, etc. by placing a ceramic lid on the opening of the ceramic body. Refers to what is used.

``Prior art'' and ``Problems to be solved by the invention'' In general, teapots have a structure in which a ceramic lid is simply placed on the opening of a ceramic body, and the body and lid are connected. Therefore, if the lid is tilted when pouring hot water, etc., or tilted during handling, the lid falls extremely easily and is often damaged. Additionally, the dimensions of the openings and lids of teapots are not standardized, and their shapes and dimensions vary widely, making it difficult to obtain spare parts for just the lids, making teapots with damaged lids unusable. There is a point.

When tilting such teapots, there is a problem in that it is necessary to pour hot water while holding the lid with your fingertips or hand to prevent the lid from falling.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned difficulties of the conventional structure.

``Means for Solving the Problems'' The present invention, which achieves the above objectives, is ``in teapots in which a ceramic lid is placed on the opening of the ceramic body.
A group of magnetic chips are embedded in a periphery of the opening and a periphery of the lid to form a pair on the opening side and the lid side with an arbitrary interval, and are arranged in an array. In the group, N poles or S poles are arranged at the inner and outer positions of the teapot, and N poles of the magnet chip group are arranged alternately at the inner and outer positions, and the opening and the lid are arranged alternately. A structure in which pairs of magnetic chips are simultaneously faced with different poles or with the same poles. ” is a characteristic.

"Examples" and "Operations" Hereinafter, the structure and operation of the present invention will be explained in detail based on Examples. Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3 showing a teapot according to an embodiment, the teapot of the present invention consists of a ceramic teapot body 1 (hereinafter simply referred to as the body 1) and a ceramic lid 2. is placed on the opening periphery 4 of the opening 3 of the main body 1, and the lid 2 is placed on the periphery 7 of the lid 2.
This teapot has a normal structure in which the lid 2 closes the opening 3 when the annular protrusion 8 is fitted into the opening 3.

On the opening periphery 4 of the main body 1 of the teapot described above, there are four magnetic chips 5 arranged in quarters of the circumference.
A, 5B, 5C, 5D are embedded and fixed, and among the magnetic chips 5A to 5D, 5A
and 5C have their S poles aligned on the inside, and 5B and 5D have their N poles aligned on the inside, and every other one has their S and N poles aligned in opposite directions. The magnetic chips 5A to 5D are embedded in the opening periphery 4 to form a part of the opening periphery 4, and the upper surfaces of the magnetic chips 5A to 5D are flush with the ceramic opening periphery 4. In addition, magnetic chips 5A to 5D
The end face thereof forms a part of the inner edge 4' of the opening periphery 4 and is exposed.

On the other hand, other magnet chips 6A, 6B, 6C, and 6D are embedded in the annular protrusion 8 of the lid 2, arranged at positions equal to four parts of the circumference.
Among A to 6D, 6A and 6C have the N pole outside, and 6
B and 6D have the S pole on the outside and the S and N poles on every other piece.
The poles are aligned in opposite directions. The surfaces of the magnet chips 6A to 6D are exposed and form part of the circumferential surface of the annular protrusion 8, and when the lid 2 is placed on the opening 3 of the main body 1, the magnet chips 6A to 6D of the main body 1 are exposed. 5
When A and 5C are made to correspond to the magnet chips 6A and 6C of the lid 2, the corresponding four pairs of magnet chips 5A to 5D and 6A to 6D attract each other with different polarities. It is composed of

The first method of embedding the magnetic chips 5A to 5D and 6A to 6D is to line up and embed the magnetic chips 5A to 5D and 6A to 6D at predetermined positions in the main body 1 and the lid 2 in the dough state.
The main body 1 and the lid 2 are fired as pottery at a normal temperature, and then embedded and fixed in a predetermined position (the main body 1
Even if the lid 2 is fired, the magnetism of the embedded magnet chip will not be lost).

Furthermore, as a second method, metal chips are embedded in predetermined positions of the main body 1 and the lid 2 in the dough state in the same manner as in the first method described above, and the metal chips are fixed in the same manner as when fired as pottery. Then, there is a method of magnetizing the arranged and fixed metal chips to impart the required magnetism.

In the teapot of the present invention having the above configuration, magnetic chips are embedded and fixed in the periphery of the opening 3 of the main body 1 and the periphery of the lid 2, respectively, and these magnetic chips are attached to the main body side and the lid 2. Since the sides have an alignment with different polarities facing each other, when the lid 2 is placed on the main body 1, if the magnetic chips 5A to 5D and 6A to 6D are placed in correspondence with each other, an attraction effect between the magnetic chips can be achieved. As a result, the lid 2 is attracted to the opening periphery 4 of the main body 1. When removing the lid 2, by rotating the lid 2 a little with your fingertips, the corresponding positions between the magnetic chips collapse and the attraction force is lost, allowing the lid 2 to be easily removed. Furthermore, at that time, when the lid 2 is rotated 90 degrees, the same polarity of the magnetic chips 5A to 5D and 6A to 6D face each other, so the lid 2 is lifted up by the repulsive force.
It can be removed extremely easily.

Therefore, in the teapot of the present invention, when the lid 2 is placed on the predetermined position and the main body 1 is sucked, the lid 2 will not fall due to its own weight even if it is tilted as it is, and when the teapot is tilted, the lid 2 will not fall due to its own weight. There is no need for the troublesome action of pressing the lid with your fingertips, etc., which improves handling and prevents the lid from being damaged due to falling.

The magnetic chips 5A to 5D and 6A to 6D may be arranged in six equal parts, eight equal parts, etc.

"Effects of the Invention" As explained above, the teapot of the present invention has the practical effect of improving the handling of the teapot and preventing the lid from falling and breaking.
