Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] The present invention is a portable can used for carrying various types of fuel (hereinafter simply referred to as fuel) such as gasoline, diesel oil, or kerosene, or for dispensing refueling. Regarding the improvement of

[Conventional technology]

Conventional portable cans used for emergency use or dispensing of various types of fuel have a spout for pouring and dispensing fuel into the can body, and an air vent. The system is such that a flexible (bellows structure) pouring hose is connected to the spout, which is opened by removing the screw-in lid or stopper, and pouring is performed by loosening the bolt on the air vent. .

As mentioned above, when pouring out fuel, by connecting a flexible pouring hose to the spout, fuel can be injected into the car tank without any problem. Since the pouring hose is usually removed from the spout, it can get damaged under luggage in the trunk of a car, or be lost or forgotten, causing problems with pouring. There were many cases where

Therefore, a portable can was devised in which the above-mentioned problems were solved by providing a hook or clamping piece on the can body itself to hold the pouring hose, and attaching the pouring hose to this hook.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, portable cans with a dispensing hose attached directly to the top or side using a hook or clamping piece are ugly and unsightly, and
There were various problems such as it being inconvenient to carry and the attached spouting hose could easily fall off, causing loss or damage.

Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is to be able to hold a fuel pouring hose in a very stylish manner and securely, and to be able to remove and reinstall it very easily. The purpose is to provide a portable fuel can that is extremely convenient for carrying and transporting.

[Means for solving problems]

The measures taken in the present invention to solve the above technical problems are as follows.

(1) A handle that is approximately U-shaped in its entirety is rotatably attached to a can that stores and carries various types of fuel such as gasoline, diesel oil, or kerosene.

(2) A groove for fitting the fuel pouring hose shall be formed on the outer surface of this handle.

(3) Locking pieces are provided on both ends of the handle to elastically clamp both ends of the hose fitted into the fitting groove.

However, in this case, the fuel pouring hose is made of a flexible structure (approximately bellows structure) that can be bent at any angle, and the end of the hose is screwed into the spout of the can body. It means what you use.

[Effect]

The above means works as follows.

According to the above factor (1), the portable can can be easily transported and handled by hanging it by the handle.

According to the factor (2) above, when not in use, the dispensing hose is fitted into the handle and held in the groove, so the can can be carried and handled without being hindered by the dispensing hose. It makes it possible to perform well and functionally.

The above element (3) securely holds both ends of the spouting hose fitted into the fitting groove of the handle, and prevents the hose from being lost or damaged due to falling off.

As described above, the above-mentioned technical problem can be solved by the above-mentioned means, and the problems of the above-mentioned conventional techniques can be solved.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the portable fuel can according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the carrying state of the portable fuel can according to the present invention, and Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing the state when fuel is poured out. The can body 1 has a freely configured can body, and the bottom portion 1a side of the can body 1 is formed to be large in order to increase stability when being carried around, that is, when stored in the trunk of a car or the like. Reference numeral 2 denotes a threaded spout formed on the top surface of the can body 1 for both injection and discharging of fuel, and 3 denotes a stopper (lid) configured to be screwed into the spout 2.

Next, reference numeral 4 denotes a handle formed in a substantially U-shape to match the curve of one side of the upper surface of the can body 1;
Both ends 4a are rotatably attached to both sides of the can body 1 using screws 5, respectively. Figures 1 to 3
In the figure, reference numeral 6 denotes a plate that rotatably supports the screw 5, and this plate 6 is welded to both sides of the can body 1. Further, 6a indicates a stopper for locking the handle 4 in the folded state shown in FIG. 1 or in the upright state shown in FIG. Furthermore, in the figure, 4T is a fitting groove formed on the outer surface of the handle 4, into which a spouting hose, which will be described later, is fitted into the groove itself. As shown in FIG.
Although it is constructed by bending each of the portions 4b outward, this formation method may be arbitrary.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a fuel pouring hose that has a flexible structure (approximately bellows structure), and 7a and 7b indicate its tip and root ports, and the root port 7b has a threaded hole that can be screwed into the spout 2 at will. 7c are installed in series. Further, 4c and 4c are locking pieces having a substantially tie-tuck structure cut and raised on both ends of the handle 4, and the spouting hose 7 is attached to both ends thereof as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. The openings 7a and 7b are held in the fitting groove 4T of the handle 4 by being elastically held between the respective locking pieces 4c and 4c, and when pouring out fuel, the openings 7a and 7b are held in the fitting groove 4T of the handle 4, as shown in FIG. Connect the consecutive screw ports 7c to the can body 1.
It is designed to be used by being screwed into the spout 2 of the machine.

Further, 8 is an air vent bolt, and 9 is a rubber gasket. In FIGS. 4 and 5, 1b is an insertion hole for the bolt 8 drilled in the top surface of the corner of the can body 1, and inside this insertion hole 1b, there is a square cutout groove 10a for air vent. welding nut 1
0 is welded 11, and the above-mentioned bolt 8 can be screwed in freely.

The bolt 8 configured as described above is loosened to vent air when pouring out the fuel stored in the can body 1. When the bolt 8 is loosened to open the insertion hole 1b, the groove 10a is also opened. This allows the fuel to be vented smoothly, and the air can be vented reliably by just loosening it a little, so there is no need to completely remove the bolt 8 or the cap. The operation is much simpler than conventional air venting means, which have been required. In addition, a welding nut 1 with a groove 10a
Since it can be configured by simply welding the bolt 8 to the inside, it can simplify manufacturing and reduce costs compared to conventional air vent bolts, which have air vent holes drilled in the bolt 8 itself. .

Since the portable fuel can according to the present invention has the structure described above, when pouring fuel into the can body 1, the plug 3 is removed and the fuel is poured from the spout. When carrying (transporting) or storing the can body containing fuel in this way, the spout 2 is closed with the plug 3, and the spout 7 is held in the fitting groove 4T of the handle 4. Set it to the state shown in Figure 1.

In addition, when pouring out the stored fuel, the second
Raise the handle 4 as shown in the figure, remove the stopper 3, attach the spout 2 to the spout 2, and loosen the air vent bolt 8 before pouring.

〔effect〕

Therefore, according to the portable fuel can according to the present invention,
The fuel dispensing hose, which until now has been troublesome to handle and often gets lost or damaged when it gets stuck under luggage, has been placed along the fitting groove of the hanging handle of the can body. Since it can be held in an extremely stylish manner with both ends elastically clamped by locking pieces, it can be used to renew the image of a portable can and increase its commercial value, for example, to set up a favorite car. In addition, since the dispensing hose is attached to the handle itself, it can be used quickly when dispensing, saving the trouble of searching and replenishing fuel quickly. It is suitable for use in emergencies such as gasoline or light oil, or for dispensing kerosene.
