Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable obtaining the feeling of click, ensuring safety and eliminating looseness in a lateral direction by providing a plurality of projections on the external or internal surface of a cylindrical circular part on the lower surface of a cover, and fitting a spring at a spring fitting part on the upper surface of a rotary seat. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of vessel support plates 3 are fitted to the outer surface of the bottom of a vessel 1 housed within a vessel body 2. In addition, a cover 4 for covering the lower end opening of the vessel body 2 and a disc-shaped retaining plate 6 at the outside of a cylindrical circular part 5 integrally formed with the lower surface of the cover 4 are secured to the vessel support plates 3. Also, a plurality of projections 10 are provided on the external surface of the circular part 5, while a spring 13 is fitted to a spring fitting part 12 integrally formed with the upper surface of a rotary seat 11. Furthermore, the rotary seat 11 is so coupled to the cover 4 as to be freely rotatable in such a way that the spring 13 will come iu contact with a plurality of projections 10 on the external surface of the circular part 5. According to the aforesaid construction, when the vessel body 2 is turned, the feeling of click is obtained as a result of contact between a plurality of projections 10 on the external or internal surface of the circular part of the cover 4, and the spring 13 fitted to the rotary seat 11. The feeling of operability and stability is thereby improved. Also, it is possible to eliminate lateral looseness in the rotary seat 11 and the cover 4 via spring pressure.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rotating device for pots and the like used in general households.

2. Description of the Related Art In conventional rotating devices such as pots of this type, when the container is rotated, a plurality of protrusions or circumferential ribs provided on the rotating table and a cover covering the lower part of the container are used. The structure was such that a groove provided near the outer periphery simply slid into contact.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a conventional configuration, if even the slightest diagonal force is applied when performing a hot water tap operation, the body of the container may rotate unexpectedly, causing hot water to spill. I was afraid of getting hot water on my hands. There was also the problem that there was some lateral play between the turntable and the cover.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and provides a click feeling when the device is rotated to provide a sufficient sense of operation and stability. The object of the present invention is to provide a rotating device for pots, etc., which has no directional play.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a container body, a container disposed within the container body and containing a liquid, and a container support plate supporting the lower part of the container. and a cover covering the lower part of the container body, and a turntable rotatably supported by the cover, and a lower surface of the cover has a plurality of protrusions on the outer periphery or the inner periphery. A cylindrical annular part is provided, and a spring mounting part is provided on the top surface of the rotary table, a spring is attached to the spring mounting part, and the spring is provided on the outer periphery or the inner periphery of the cylindrical annular part. It is brought into contact with a plurality of protrusions.

Effect: According to the above structure, when the vessel is rotated, the plurality of protrusions provided on the outer or inner circumference of the cylindrical annular portion of the cover are in contact with the spring attached to the rotary table. For,
A click feeling can be obtained, and as a result, the feeling of operation and stability can be improved.

Further, the spring pressure can eliminate lateral play between the rotary table and the cover.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on FIGS. 1 to 4.

In FIG. 1, one cylindrical container made of a thin plate such as Nutenless is housed in a container 2 that also has a cylindrical shape. Further, a plurality of container support plates 3 are attached to the bottom outer surface of the container 1. A cover 4 that covers the lower end opening of the container body 2, and a disk-shaped holding plate 6 located on the outside of a cylindrical annular portion 5 integrally formed on the lower surface of the cover 4 so as to protrude downward. are fixed to the container support plate 3 with screws 7, thereby fixing the container 1 so as to be drawn downward. A hot water temperature control device 9 is disposed in a space 8 approximately in the center between the cover 4 and the bottom of the container 1.
Further, a plurality of protrusions 1o are provided on the outer periphery of the annular portion 6 integrally formed on the lower surface of the cover 4, while a spring integrally formed on the upper surface of the rotary table 11 so as to protrude upward. A spring 13 is attached to the attachment portion 12, as shown in FIG. The rotary table 11 is rotatably fitted to the cover 4 so that the spring 13 comes into contact with a plurality of protrusions 10 provided on the outer periphery of the annular portion 5, as shown in FIG.

Regarding the rotating device for pots etc. configured as above,
Next, its operation will be explained.

When the container body 2 is rotated, a plurality of protrusions 10 provided on the outer periphery of a cylindrical annular portion 6 integrally formed so as to protrude downward from the cover 4 and a spring attached to the rotating table 11 are removed. 13
Since they are in contact with each other, a click feeling is generated, which provides a sufficient sense of operation and stability, thereby preventing rotation during hot water tapping operations. Furthermore, the lateral play between the cover 4 and the turntable 11 can be eliminated by the spring pressure of the spring 13.

In the above embodiment, a plurality of protrusions 1° were provided on the outer periphery of the cylindrical annular portion 6.
A protrusion 1o is provided on the inner periphery of the annular portion 5, and a spring 13 is located inside the annular portion 5 and attached to the rotary table 11, and this spring 13 is brought into contact with the protrusion 1o on the inner periphery of the annular portion 6. Even if they are brought into contact with each other, the same effect as in the above embodiment can be obtained.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, the effects of the present invention are as follows:
7 Rotating devices such as pots, when the container is rotated, have multiple protrusions provided on the outer or inner periphery of the cylindrical annular portion provided on the bottom surface of the cover, and Since the spring attached to the spring attachment part is in contact with the spring, a click feeling can be obtained, which improves the feeling of operation and stability. It will not rotate, ensuring safety.

Moreover, since the lateral play in the rotary table and the cover can be eliminated by the spring pressure of the spring, a product of very high quality can be obtained.
