【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial perspective view in a side direction when a beverage supply device according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a tea supply machine. In the figure, a tea supply unit 20 is placed above the cold water unit 10 which also serves as a stand. The tea feeding unit 20 has a delivery stage (outlet) 21 having an opening at the center position on the front surface. The delivery stage 21 is formed as a box-shaped body with one surface open, and is attached to an opening formed in the front plate. A drain-shaped drainer 22 is removably attached to the bottom of the delivery stage 21, and a pouring stage that protrudes downward in the central portion in the width direction from other portions in the ceiling as shown in Fig. 2. The part 23 is formed. As shown in FIG. 3, the pouring step portion 23 is formed continuously up to the upper portion of the rear wall, and an elongated communication hole 24 is formed on the lower surface thereof.

A tea strainer is provided in an upper portion of the communication hole 24 inside the tea feeding unit 20, and a hot water supply valve for pouring hot water into the tea strainer is provided above the tea strainer. It is being touched. The rail 31 is formed in a U shape in which both ends of a metallic strip plate are bent 90 degrees in the same direction so that the entire width is the same as the opening width of the delivery stage 21. Two through holes are formed in the bent portions at both ends, and are screwed to the side wall of the delivery stage 21 in a horizontal state.

The nozzle 32 is formed in the shape of a rectangular tube in the shape of a bow, and when the nozzle side is arranged so as to be the lower side, the nozzle side opens downward and the large side faces upward. I try to open my mouth. Further, the large mouth side is horizontally opened, the opening width is wider than the width of the pouring step portion 23, and the opening length is shorter than the pouring step portion 23. The rear surface of the rear wall 32a on the large mouth side is a vertical plane, and a locking piece 32b capable of holding the rail 31 from the upper portion of the rear surface of the rear wall 32a to the lower side is fixed. The height of the locking piece 32b is such that the opening on the large mouth side of the nozzle 32 is slightly lower than the pouring step 23 when hooked on the rail 31.

On the front panel 11 of the cold water portion 10 on which the tea supply portion 20 is placed, a flat plate-like stage hook 12 whose upper end portion is bent by 90 degrees as shown in FIG. It is fixed in a state of being locked to the upper end of the panel 11, and a pot stage 13 having a mounting portion 13a projecting to the front side is screwed and fixed below the front side of the stage hook 12. ..

Next, the operation of this embodiment having the above configuration will be described. When supplying tea, both ends are bolted to the side wall inside the delivery stage 21 with the rail 31 horizontal, and the stage hook 12 and the pot stage 13 are provided on the front surface of the cold water section 10. Keep it fixed. When supplying tea to the pot, the pot is placed on the pot stage 13 and the nozzle 32 is fixed to the rail 31.

To fix the nozzle 32 to the rail 31, a locking piece 32b provided on a rear wall 32a of the nozzle 32 is inserted from above the rail 31 so as to sandwich the rail 31. However, the rail 31 is sandwiched by the locking pieces 32b at a position displaced to the left and right from the pouring step portion 23, and it is completely pinched. Move to position.

When an operation button (not shown) is pressed in the tea supply unit 20 to start the tea supply, tea is supplied from the inside of the tea supply unit 20 into the delivery stage 21 through the communication hole 24, and the communication is performed. It is poured into the opening on the large opening side of the nozzle 32 which is mounted directly below the hole 24. Since the nozzle 32 is arranged so as to be inclined so that the small mouth side becomes low, the tea poured from the large mouth side opening flows through the nozzle 32 and comes out from the small mouth side opening. Tea is supplied into the pot by arranging the mouth side opening so as to face the opening of the pot placed on the pot stage 13.

There is almost no clearance above the nozzle 32 at a position directly below the pouring step portion 23, and the nozzle 32 is formed wider and shorter than the communication hole 24 of the pouring step portion 23. Therefore, even if it is attempted to move the nozzle 32 upward, it cannot always come into contact with the pouring step portion 23 and move upward. Therefore, the nozzle 32 does not come off from the rail 31 even if the force of catching the nozzle 32 and pushing it up during the tea supply is suddenly applied.

When the tea is not supplied to the pot, the nozzle 32 is moved laterally from a position directly below the pouring step portion 23, and then moved upward to be pulled out from the rail 31. In the embodiment described above, the ceiling side projects downward in the delivery stage 21, but the ceiling side is flat and the rail 31 is bent upward at the center portion in the width direction. It can also be configured. With this structure, if the nozzles 32 are hooked at both ends of the rail 31 and moved upward toward the central portion, the nozzle 32 cannot move upward at a position directly below the communication hole 24. The rail 31 can be prevented from coming off.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the example in which the beverage supply device is applied to the tea supply machine is described, but the invention is also applicable to other devices such as a coffee brewing machine.
