Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cartridge tank for an oil burning appliance which is removably stored in an oil fan heater, a portable oil stove, or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Unexamined Publication No. Sho 62-76621, after refueling from a plastic tank or the like with the refueling port of the tank body upward, The tank body was stored inside the instrument body with the top and bottom of the tank body turned upside down and the fuel supply port turned down.

[0003]

In recent years, in this type of cartridge tank, the tank capacity has tended to be increased in order to reduce the number of refueling operations and to reduce the trouble of refueling work. Since the weight also increases, it is very difficult to reverse the tank body upside down after refueling as described above, especially for women and elderly people, it is difficult work, dropping the tank body and damaging it, It could fall on your feet and cause damage.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention focuses on this point, and in particular, its structure is provided with an oil supply port on the upper surface of the tank body, and the tank is rolled over in only one direction on the bottom surface. In such a case, the handle is turned upside down after refueling and inserted into the tank storage portion of the instrument body with the refueling port turned down. Is provided with a tilting assisting portion for tilting the tank body after refueling.

[0005]

When the tank body 1 is placed with the fuel supply port 4 side facing up and fuel is supplied from a plastic tank (not shown) in this state, when the tank body 1 that is full is lifted, the tilting assist portion is used. If the tank body 1 is tilted to the opposite side while the hand is placed on the tightening part 9 and the opposite hand 10 and the hand is tilted by the tilt assisting part 10, the handle that has been turned over is inserted into the gap at the bottom of the tank body 1 that has been lifted by the tilt. Since the support 5 is lifted up, the support 5 is suspended obliquely. If the user puts one hand on the bottom and lifts the tank body 1 with the handle 5, the top and bottom are reversed at once and the fuel supply port 4 is lowered. It is in an inserted state.

Therefore, there is no danger of holding the heavy tank body 1 after refueling with the handle 5 and holding it with both hands, and there is no danger of dropping the tank body. It can be transported and used safely and safely even if the tank becomes heavy. Particularly, even a woman or an elderly person can easily carry the handle 5 with the handle 5 and is extremely convenient to use.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a cartridge tank for an oil burning appliance according to the present invention will be described with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a 7.2-liter large-capacity tank body which is removably inserted into a tank storage section 3 formed in an appliance body 2 such as an oil fan heater. An oil supply port 4 is provided, and a handle 5 for carrying is provided at the bottom.

The handle 5 is large enough to allow one hand to hold the grip portion 6 and is coated with a synthetic resin such as polypropylene so that it can be easily gripped. It is rotatably supported by a support 7 fixed to the bottom of the main body 1.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a restricting means formed by cutting out a part of the support portion 7 and turning the handle 5 by its own weight only on the side opposite to the winding portion 9 slightly projecting from the tank body 1. The movement range is regulated.

The grip 6 and the tightening portion 9 of the handle 5 which has been rolled over have the same height, and constitute a leg of the tank body 1 at the time of refueling. The configuration is sufficient.

Numeral 10 denotes a tilting assisting portion formed of a concave portion formed on the side wall of the handle 5 at the upper side of the tank main body 1. The tilting auxiliary portion 10 tilts the tank main body 1 which is full after refueling with the tightening portion 9 as a fulcrum. This is to make it easy to take the handle 5 hanging down from the floating bottom.

Further, since the tilting assisting portion 10 is formed integrally with the tank main body 1 by forming a concave portion, it is easy to form, it is not necessary to attach a separate component, and it is inexpensive. In addition, since the upper portion of the recess has an inclined wall with an acute angle, the tank body 1 can be surely inclined without slipping even when the tank is full.

Reference numeral 11 denotes an outlet for blowing hot air provided on the front surface of the appliance body 2, reference numeral 12 denotes an operation unit, and reference numeral 13 denotes an opening / closing lid for the tank storage unit 3.

Next, a series of operations after refueling of the cartridge tank will be described. Now, when carrying the tank body 1 after refueling, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), one hand is put on the tightening portion 9 and the other hand is hooked on the tilting assisting portion 10 on the opposite side, and the wrapping portion 9 side is supported. When the tank body 1 is tilted as shown in FIG. 5 (b), the tilting assisting portion 10 is on the rollover side of the handle 5, so that the handle 5 has its own weight in the gap formed at the bottom of the tilted tank body 1. If the user inserts his hand here and grasps the handle 5, the tank body 1 can be easily turned upside down and inserted into the instrument body 2 while lifting the tank body 1. You can do it.

Then, the fuel is supplied to the tank main body 1 when the apparatus is transported to the appliance main body 2 in this state and inserted into the tank housing 3 as shown in FIG.

Therefore, by tilting the tank main body 1 by hooking the hand on the tilt assisting portion 10, the handle 5 can be carried by grasping the handle 5 from the beginning. There is no danger of being dropped on the top and being damaged, so it can be used with peace of mind and the appliance body 2
It can be inserted into

[0017]

In short, the present invention has an oil filler port on the upper surface of the tank body, a handle regulated on the bottom surface so that the tank body can be rolled over only in one direction, and after refueling, the tank is turned upside down and the oil filler port is lowered. Since the tilting assisting portion for tilting the tank body after refueling is provided on the rollover side of the handle above the side wall of the tank body in the apparatus which is inserted into the tank storage section of the instrument body. The operation of reversing the top and bottom of the tank body after refueling can be reliably performed from the beginning by holding the handle, and even a large-capacity and heavy tank body can be easily carried. It is possible to prevent the risk of being damaged or being dropped on the foot beforehand, and it can be used safely by women and elderly people, and is extremely easy to use.

Further, by forming the tilting assisting portion as a convex portion or a concave portion integral with the tank body, molding is easy, no separate parts are required, and the cost can be reduced.

Further, if the handle and the tightening portion constitute the leg, there is an effect that no special parts are required and the structure is simple.
