Description

【考案の詳細な説明】（産業上の利用分野）本考案は電気ポツトに関するものである。[Detailed explanation of the idea] (Industrial application field) The present invention relates to an electric pot.

（従来の技術）電気ポツトには、スイツチ、沸騰、保温ラン
プ、タイマ等の操作パネルが設けられるが、この
操作パネルは操作性の点から胴の上方に取り付け
られる。例えば、第４図、第５図に示すように、
外胴１の上端の肩体２にノーズ状に突設した突出
部３に注出口４を設け、蓋体５に設けたベローズ
ポンプ６により内容器７の底部から湯水して前記
注出口４より熱湯を注出するようにした電気ポツ
トでは、前記突出部３の頂部にランプ、スイツチ
等からなる操作パネル８が取り付けられている。(Prior Art) An electric pot is provided with an operation panel for a switch, a boiler, a heat-retaining lamp, a timer, etc., but this operation panel is attached above the body for ease of operation. For example, as shown in Figures 4 and 5,
A spout 4 is provided in a nose-shaped projection 3 on the shoulder 2 at the upper end of the outer body 1, and a bellows pump 6 provided on the lid 5 pumps hot water from the bottom of the inner container 7 through the spout 4. In an electric kettle designed to dispense hot water, an operation panel 8 consisting of a lamp, a switch, etc. is attached to the top of the protrusion 3.

（考案が解決しようとする問題点）しかしながら、前記従来の電気ポツトのよう
に、操作パネル８が肩体２の突出部３に設けられ
ていると、電気ポツトが転倒したり、他の物と接
触した場合、操作パネル８の表示ランプ等が破損
したり、スイツチが不本意にオン、オフされて誤
動作を起こすことがあつた。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, if the operation panel 8 is provided on the protrusion 3 of the shoulder body 2 as in the conventional electric pot, the electric pot may fall over or collide with other objects. If contact occurs, the display lamps on the operation panel 8 may be damaged, or switches may be turned on or off inadvertently, causing malfunctions.

また、操作パネル８を収容するための凹部９を
突出部３の外表面から注出口４までの間に設けな
ければならず、この結果、突出部３は注出口４よ
り外方に第４図中寸法δだけ無用に突出すること
になり、注出口４が見にくいうえ、容器が大型化
し、コンパクト化に反することになる。 Furthermore, a recess 9 for accommodating the operation panel 8 must be provided between the outer surface of the protrusion 3 and the spout 4, so that the protrusion 3 is positioned outwardly from the spout 4 as shown in FIG. The medium dimension δ will protrude unnecessarily, making the spout 4 difficult to see and making the container larger, which goes against the desire to make it more compact.

ところで、肩体２は金型により成形されるが、
この金型のうち外面を成形する金型は、一般に、
第５図に示すように、突出部３の突出方向と一致
する矢印Ａ，A′方向に２分割して設けられる。
しかしながら、この分割金型で突出部３に凹部９
を形成するには、突出部３がノーズ状に傾斜して
いるため、第４図に示すように、凹部９を抜くた
めの金型を矢印Ｂ方向にスライドさせる構造を採
用しなければならず、Ａ方向に割る金型が強度的
に弱くなり、耐久性に劣るうえ、金型構造が複雑
化する等の問題があつた。 By the way, the shoulder body 2 is molded by a mold,
Among these molds, the mold that molds the outer surface is generally
As shown in FIG. 5, it is divided into two parts in the directions of arrows A and A', which correspond to the direction in which the protrusion 3 protrudes.
However, with this split mold, there is a recess 9 in the protrusion 3.
In order to form the recess 9, since the protrusion 3 is inclined in the shape of a nose, it is necessary to adopt a structure in which the mold for punching out the recess 9 is slid in the direction of arrow B, as shown in Fig. 4. , there were problems such as the strength of the mold that was split in the A direction was weak, the durability was poor, and the mold structure was complicated.

本考案は、斯かる問題点に鑑みてなされたもの
で、スイツチ等の誤動作や損傷の虞れがなく、金
型が簡単で耐久性が良いうえ、容器全体をコンパ
クトにすることができる位置に操作パネルを有す
る電気ポツトを提供することを目的とする。 The present invention was developed in view of these problems, and there is no risk of malfunction or damage to switches, etc., the mold is simple and durable, and the container is located in a position that allows the entire container to be made compact. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electric pot with an operation panel.

る。 In the electrical pot constructed as described above, the outer circumferential surface of the shoulder body 12 is molded using a mold that is divided in the directions of arrows A ₁ and A ₂ in FIG. At this time, the opening 19a of the operation panel accommodating portion 19 connects the shoulder body 12 with the arrow
A A mold that splits in _one direction allows for simultaneous punching.

この場合、第４図に示す従来の電気ポツトのよ
うに、操作パネル８が肩体２の突出部３の狭く、
かつ、傾斜した頂部に設けられていたものと異な
り、本実施例では、操作パネル２０が突出部１７

上する。 In this case, as in the conventional electric pot shown in FIG.
In addition, unlike the case where the operation panel 20 is provided on the inclined top, in this embodiment, the operation panel 20 is provided on the protrusion 17.
, that is, the vertical wall surface of the shoulder body 12, the opening 19a of the operation panel 20
There is no need to slide the mold to form the mold, which simplifies the mold structure. In addition, since there is no sliding mold in the mold that is divided in _one direction as indicated by the arrow A, the mold becomes integral and strong, improving durability.

そして、操作パネル２０が突出部１７の基部近
傍に設けられ、第２図に示すように、突出部１７

気ポツトの転倒あるいは他の物との接触によつて
スイツチ２１、ランプ２２ａ，２２ｂ，２２ｃが
損傷したり、スイツチ２１がオン、オフして誤動
作するようなことはない。 An operation panel 20 is provided near the base of the protrusion 17, and as shown in FIG.
Because the electric pot is located within the triangular column-shaped space formed by the surface in contact with the tip of the electric pot and the outer circumferential surface of the shoulder body 12, the side surface of the protruding portion 17, and the outer circumferential surface of the shoulder body 12, the electric pot is prevented from falling. Further, the switch 21 and the lamps 22a, 22b, 22c will not be damaged due to contact with other objects, and the switch 21 will not malfunction due to turning on and off.

また、突出部１７の頂部に操作パネル２０が設
けられていないことにより、突出部１７の頂面と
注出口１８の間の寸法を最小限にとることができ
るため、突出部１７が無用に突出することはな
く、電気ポツト全体が小型化する。 Furthermore, since the operation panel 20 is not provided on the top of the protrusion 17, the dimension between the top surface of the protrusion 17 and the spout 18 can be minimized, so that the protrusion 17 does not protrude unnecessarily. This means that the entire electric pot becomes smaller.

（考案の効果）以上の説明から明らかなように、本考案によれ
ば、操作パネルを肩体の突出部の基部に設けたた
め、突出部分の金型は、従来のように操作パネル
を収容する凹部を形成するためスライド構造を採
用する必要はなく、一体に形成することができ、
構造簡単で、かつ、耐久性が向上する。(Effect of the invention) As is clear from the above explanation, according to the invention, the operation panel is provided at the base of the protrusion of the shoulder body, so the mold of the protrusion can accommodate the operation panel as in the conventional case. There is no need to adopt a sliding structure to form the recess, and it can be formed in one piece.
Simple structure and improved durability.

また、操作パネルが突出部の基部に位置するこ
とにより、電気ポツトの転倒時あるいは他の物と
の接触時にランプ、スイツチが損傷したり誤動作
することはなく、安全である。 Furthermore, since the operation panel is located at the base of the protrusion, the lamp and switch will not be damaged or malfunction when the electric pot falls over or comes into contact with other objects, making it safe.

さらに、突出部の頂部に操作パネルを設けてい
ないことにより、当該突出部の突出量を少なくす
ることができ、電気ポツト全体がコンパクトにな
る等の効果を有している。 Furthermore, since no operation panel is provided on the top of the protrusion, the amount of protrusion of the protrusion can be reduced, which has the effect of making the electric pot more compact as a whole.
