Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention is equipped with a pump that pours out the liquid content.
A downward guide tube that guides the content liquid to be dispensed downward from the top of the container is provided vertically in a pipe cover provided on the outer surface of the container, and has a spout opening at a low position. The present invention relates to a low pouring spout type liquid container in which the opening is sufficiently lower than a container in which the opening is simply opened downward at an overhanging position on the upper part of the container.

(Prior art and its problems) It is convenient for liquid containers to be able to know the amount of liquid from the outside, especially in electric pots that have heaters that heat the liquid in order to keep it warm, boil water, or both. This is important to prevent the risk of dry cooking, and it is desirable to display the liquid level over the entire capacity range.

Therefore, even if a see-through display window, which is used in general liquid containers, is installed in the container body, conventional
As is known from Publication No. 3657 and Publication of Utility Model Application No. 55-148528, it is not possible to simply install the container vertically on the outside surface.
The weak-strength fluoroscopy section is susceptible to external forces, requiring considerable care during handling such as supplying and draining the contents, cleaning, etc., and is also susceptible to damage if the instrument falls over.

The object of this invention is to provide a low spout type liquid container that can display the liquid volume without such problems.

(Means for solving the problem) In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, this device has a downward guide tube that guides the dispensing contents downward from the top of the container, which is installed vertically in the pipe cover provided on the outer surface of the container. In a low spout type liquid container that is installed through the container and has a spout opening at a low level, the pipe cover is provided in a protruding state on the outer surface of a base plate attached to the outer surface of the container body, and the pipe cover of the base plate is provided. A liquid volume display window is provided in the horizontal part of the liquid volume display tube, and the liquid volume display portion of the liquid volume display tube, which is provided so that at least its lower end communicates with the interior of the vessel, is positioned so as to be externally observable inside the liquid volume display window. It is characterized by this.

(Function) Due to the above structure, the pipe cover protects the downward guide pipe, and unlike pipes, which tend to be standardized depending on the board on which the pipe cover is installed, the pipe cover protects the downward guide pipe. The liquid volume display window, which is installed vertically with a length sufficient to display the volume, is placed in the recess formed by the container body and pipe cover on the outer surface of the container to protect it from external forces, and to place it in an area that is easily visible during pouring. The liquid volume can be displayed with sufficient length.

(Effects of the invention) According to this invention, a downward guide tube that guides the dispensing contents downward from the top of the container is provided vertically inside the pipe cover provided on the outer surface of the container, and the spout is placed at a low level. In an open low spout type liquid container, the pipe cover is provided in a protruding state on the outer surface of a board attached to the outer surface of the container, and a liquid level display window is provided on the side of the board where the pipe cover is provided. Since the liquid volume display portion of the liquid volume display tube, which is provided so that at least its lower end communicates with the inside of the container body, is located inside the liquid volume display window so as to be externally observable, a pipe cover is provided by the substrate. It is possible to easily realize the desired decorative appearance with the opening of the liquid level display window, and the height and design of the board can be varied while keeping the downward guide path and pipe cover the same. The quantity display can be displayed in an easily visible position and size.

The substrate can be protected by locating the liquid level display tube inside it, and the liquid level display window is positioned in the recess formed between it and the pipe cover protruding from the outer surface. The window itself and the inner liquid level display tube can be protected from external forces.
