Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] (b) Industrial application fields The present invention relates to Jusa.

(b) Conventional technology A utility model has been registered as a mechanism for opening and closing the outlet of the outlet of the outlet of the outlet of the outlet, which has been applied to the outlet, which always uses an elastic body to urge the cam part of the opening/closing handle to ensure the sealing effect. An application has been filed (see specification of Utility Application No. 10203/1983).

In the above-mentioned J-use outlet opening/closing mechanism, sealing is ensured by the elastic body only when the opening/closing tip is in the correct position relative to the outlet. However, due to variations in the processing of parts, the position If there is a difference in the relationship, there is a problem that a seal cannot be created.

In addition, since the opening/closing cap rotates around an axis, it is necessary to provide a hole in the lid of the drinking cup that receives the drink so that the opening/closing pot can rotate.There is a problem that if the drinking cup is misaligned, the opening/closing pot may not be able to rotate. There is.

Furthermore, since it rotates around an axis away from the outlet, there is also the problem that a large installation space is required.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention This invention aims to solve the above-mentioned problems.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a juice container having a juice outlet on the bottom surface, which has a seal part for opening and closing said outlet. An opening/closing knob having a protrusion formed at the center of the lower surface of the seal and an elastic body for biasing the protrusion toward the outlet are pivotally supported on the lower surface of the youth container so as to be horizontally rotatable.

(e) Operation By rotating the opening/closing pot using the above-mentioned means, the youth outlet can be selectively opened or closed, and moreover, the opening/closing knob can be rotated to a position where the youth outlet is closed. By rotating the elastic body in the closed state, the opening/closing pot can be brought into elastic contact with the youth outlet and the youth can be prevented from flowing out. In this blocking action, a protrusion is formed at the center of the lower surface of the seal of the opening/closing handle, and this protrusion is biased by an elastic body.
The spring pressure of the elastic body is always applied to the center of the sealing part, making it possible to seal the youth outlet evenly around the entire circumference.

(f) Examples Hereinafter, examples will be explained in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

1 is a youth container, 2 is an opening/closing handle, 3 is an elastic body made of a leaf spring, and 4 is a boss provided at the bottom of the container, which is loosely fitted to the support part 5 of the opening/closing handle 2 and can be rotated in the horizontal direction. The elastic body 3 is also rotatably attached to the small diameter portion 7 of the boss 4 with a screw 6. Reference numeral 8 denotes an outlet provided at the bottom of the container, and an annular rib 9 is provided on the outer periphery.

The opening/closing pot 2 has a protrusion 1 located corresponding to the outlet 8 and comprising a large diameter part 10a having a smaller diameter than the inner diameter of the outlet 8 and a small diameter part 10b having a smaller diameter than this large diameter part.
0 and an annular seal packing 11 that is fitted into the small diameter portion 10b and abuts the annular rib 9 when the opening/closing knob 2 is in the closed position. The inner diameter of the packing 11 is the small diameter portion 10b.
The diameter of the gasket 11 is made smaller than the diameter of the small diameter portion 10b, and the thickness of the gasket 11 is made slightly thinner or approximately equal to the height of the small diameter portion 10b, so that the gasket is fitted into the state (see Fig. 5).
The packing 11 is curved to add elasticity due to the curvature, thereby further improving sealing performance. 1
Reference numeral 2 denotes a projection provided vertically at the center of the lower surface of the seal portion S to receive the spring pressure of the elastic body 3. Reference numeral 14 designates a knob portion that extends further outward from the seal portion S of the opening/closing handle 2 and is integrally formed at a location protruding from the outer circumferential wall 15 of the container 1.

The elastic body 3 is bent into a stepped shape so that its tip side is spaced from the back surface of the pot 2, and is secured with a screw 6, so that the elastic body 3 is connected to the protrusion 12 of the seal portion S at the outlet 8.
Elastic contact to the side and opening/closing mechanism 2
It fits between the ribs 16, 16 formed on the lower surfaces of both sides, thereby interlocking with the kettle 2.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a rotation control projection formed closer to the boss 4 than the seal portion S on the top surface of the opening/closing pot 2, and slides into rotation control rib 18 formed on the bottom surface of the container 1.
The rib 18 is formed with a notch 19 as shown in FIG. 4, and the notch 19 has high step portions 20a and 20b at both ends.
However, a low step portion 20e is formed in the middle through slope portions 20c and 20d, and in the "open" position (shown by the broken line in FIG. 4) and the "closed" position (shown by the solid line in FIG. 4) of the pot 2, The base of the knob 14 of the knob 2 is close to the lower end 15 of the outer circumferential wall of the container 1, and in other intermediate states, the knob 2 is pushed down significantly as shown in FIG. This prevents sliding contact with the rib 9 and notifies the user that the handle 2 is in a half-way open/close position.

When the rotation control rib 18 is in the "open" position of the container 2, the rotation control rib 18 is connected to the centrifuge cage 22 in the container 1.
It is formed so as to be on the rear side of the outflow port 8 with respect to the rotational direction X (see FIG. 6). With this configuration, due to the wind generated in the centrifugal separation cage 22, the youth may flow out at an angle along the rotational direction X rather than vertically, and may be blown away in the same rotational direction.
It can be reliably received by the cup 23 described later without adhering to the surface.

In addition, in Fig. 7, 24 is the base, 25 is the container lid, and 26
is the filter section.

The operation of the juicer having the above configuration will be explained below. However, the explanation of the basic operation will be omitted.

The side wall of the knob 14 of the opening/closing handle 2 has a notch 19
The protrusion 17 contacts the side wall 19a of the slope portion 20.
When the seal portion S is positioned with a small distance from c, the seal portion S is aligned with the outlet 8 and the seal 1
1 presses against the rib 9 to close the outlet 8, and the protrusion 1
7 is in contact with the low step portion 20e, the seal portion S is displaced from the outlet 8 and opens the outlet 8. When switching between the above two states, it is sufficient to simply hold the knob 14 and rotate the opening/closing knob 2 around the screw 6. Also,
Since the elastic body 3 also rotates integrally with the opening/closing handle 2, no special effort is required to rotate the elastic body 3.

In the closed state of the outlet 8,
The elastic body 3 connects the protrusion 12 of the opening/closing pot 2 to the outlet 8
Since the seal gasket 11 is biased toward the side, the seal gasket 11 is evenly pressed against the rib 9 over the entire circumference, and a sealing action can be performed reliably. This sealing action is achieved by forming a bent portion (not shown) in the portion of the elastic body 3 that contacts the sealing portion S, and bringing this bent portion into contact with the sealing portion S without the protrusion 12. In comparison, it has the advantage that even if there are variations in the dimensions of the elastic body 3 during processing or dimensional errors during installation, the process can be carried out in substantially the same way.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and in particular, the base 24, the cup 23,
Various design changes can be made to the container lid 25, filter section 26, and centrifuge cage 22. Of course, various design changes can be made to the opening/closing handle 2 and the elastic body 3 without changing the gist of the invention.

(g) Effects As described above, in this invention, the opening/closing handle is made of an elastic body and is in elastic contact with the outlet surface so as to be pressed against it at all times, so there is no possibility of positional deviation due to variations during processing.
Regardless of the inclination, the sealing effect can be achieved reliably.
Furthermore, since it only rotates in one direction, it can be operated at all times regardless of the cup position.
It can be installed if there is enough space to move the opening/closing pot from the outlet, so the installation space is small. In addition, since the elastic body presses against the protrusion at the center of the lower surface of the seal of the opening/closing handle, force is applied evenly to the outlet of the outlet over the entire circumference, regardless of dimensional errors in the elastic body itself or in installation. It has great effects such as ensuring reliable sealing.
