DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hot water faucet for pouring hot water or tea, and more particularly to a hot water faucet attached to a food and drink counter such as a conveyor belt sushi.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A food and drink counter such as a sushi conveyor provided with a conveyor for transferring food and drink such as sushi transports food and drink such as sushi by a conveyor, for example, while a seat is provided around a counter table of the food and drink counter, for example. The occupied food and beverages are supposed to take out the food circulated and transported by the food and beverage conveyor, for example, sushi, raw meat for grilled meat, etc., so that the food and beverage service can be provided to the food and beverage service. It is performed by a machine and is widely used to help labor saving in restaurants.

However, in a restaurant, for example, tea service is indispensable for eating and drinking sushi and the like. In order to make it easy and easy to provide hot water supply service for eating and drinking to the eating and drinking counter, the number of seats at the eating and drinking counter is increased. On the side, hot water taps for tea and hot water are provided. The hot water tap is connected to a hot water supply pipe connected to a hot water storage tank, and a user can press a push button of the hot water tap and freely pour hot water into a teacup.

[0004]

However, the hot water supply push button of the hot water faucet is usually pushed by the body of the teacup, but sometimes it is accidentally placed around the mouth of the teacup. In some cases, hot water is poured into a teacup and the water is relatively unsanitary. Moreover, since hot water having a high temperature close to hot water is always supplied to the hot water faucet, there is a danger of being burned by touching during use and non-use. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve problems such as an unsanitary point of a hot water supply push button and a danger of being burned by touching the surrounding area with a hand.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a hot water supply push button can be surely pushed by a body of a teacup to pour hot water into the teacup, and even if a person accidentally touches around the spout of a hot water faucet, a burn is caused. The aim is to provide hot water faucets without danger. That is, the present invention includes a valve box having a valve body, a nozzle portion having a base portion rising diagonally upward, and a downwardly curved front portion to form a water discharge port, and can be connected to a connection portion of a hot water supply pipe. In the hot water tap, the periphery of the nozzle portion is covered with a heat insulating material, a support member is provided below the valve box, and a container support plate is attached to a lower end of the support member via a hinge. A hot water faucet characterized by the following.

In the present invention, the hot water tap is, for example, a hot water tap called glass filler or the like for supplying hot water or tea, and a valve body used for a valve box is a gate valve,
Various known valve elements such as a ball valve, a ball valve, and a butterfly valve can be used. However, it is preferable to use a valve element biased by a spring because it can be mechanically opened and closed with a simple structure.

In the present invention, the hot water faucet is installed on a food / drink counter such as a conveyor belt sushi, and the nozzle of the hot water faucet is provided with a nozzle portion whose periphery is covered with a heat insulating material. A support member is provided below the box, and a container support plate is attached to a lower end of the support member via a hinge. The container support plate for placing a cup of teacup of the present invention is provided below the valve box, and the position thereof is provided at a position where the push button for hot water supply can be pressed by the body of the cup of teacup placed on the container support plate.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when hot water is supplied, the teacup placed on the container support plate is pushed, for example, so as to slide on the container support plate, and the hot water supply push button below the valve box is pressed. The body can be pushed by the body part, and the hot water can be poured into the teacup. When the hot water is not supplied, the hot water can be placed on the container support plate as it is. Also, when food and drinks are not using the seats, they can be bent to the hot water faucet side via the hinges, and the lower part of the container support plate can be cleaned. An escape hole is formed so as not to press the hot water supply push button when it is bent and pressed against the hot water supply faucet.

In the present invention, the material forming the nozzle portion is brass, whereas the outer surface of the nozzle portion has
As a material having a small thermal conductivity that is not easily wetted by water and has a thermal conductivity of 1/7 or less, preferably 1/100 or less, more preferably 1/500 or less with respect to the thermal conductivity of the material forming the nozzle. Examples include polypropylene resin, polyoxymethylene resin, polyethylene resin, and Teflon resin. However, a material having a small thermal conductivity is preferably a polypropylene resin, a polyoxymethylene resin, or a Teflon resin because of its low thermal conductivity and relatively low cost of attachment.

The material having a small thermal conductivity covering the outer surface of the nozzle portion only needs to cover a part of the nozzle portion such as the tip portion of the nozzle which is easy to touch, but can cover the entire nozzle portion. . In the present invention, the material having a low thermal conductivity is coated on the nozzle portion by ordinary coating means.
By covering a part of the outer surface of the nozzle portion coated with a material having a low thermal conductivity, for example, a part of the outer surface of the nozzle portion which is exchangeably attached by screwing or the like, the This is preferable because, when a portion that is easy to touch becomes dirty with scale, it can be easily replaced.

[0012]

According to the present invention, there is provided a valve box having a hot-water tap valve body of the present invention, a nozzle portion having a base portion rising obliquely upward, and a downwardly curved front side to form a water discharge port. In the hot water tap which can be connected to the nozzle, the periphery of the nozzle portion is covered with a heat insulating material, a support member is provided below the valve box, and a container support plate is attached to a lower end of the support member via a hinge. Therefore, at the time of the hot water supply, the teacup placed on the container support plate can be pushed as it is placed on the container support plate, and the hot water supply push button can be pressed. Therefore, in the present invention, it is possible to avoid pressing the hot water supply push button at the mouth of the teacup, which is sanitary.

Further, in the present invention, the cup of hot water can be kept on the container supporting plate, so that the cup place for the food counter of the food counter can be specified, and the table of the food counter can be set on the tea cup. It does not spill and contaminate the food and drink, and does not give food and drink any filth.
