Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a hinge device for a pot or the like having a lid for opening and closing a container opening.

BACKGROUND ART Conventional hinge devices for pots, etc. of this type include, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 60-27829.
The structure was as shown in Figure 4.

That is, the lid body 5 has the lid cover 50 on the lower surface.
1 was rotatably locked to a hinge stand 53 provided at the rear of the spout 52, thereby forming a hinge device for the lid 51 that opens and closes the opening of the container 54.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, when the lid body 51 is opened, water droplets adhering to the lid cover 50 are removed from the lid cover 5.
0 to the hinge stand 53, and then the spout 5.
This has the disadvantage that the floor gets wet through the body 55 on which the product 2 is placed.

In addition, since water droplets travel through the metal body 55,
This body 55 also has the disadvantage that rust occurs.

The present invention solves these problems,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a hinge device for a pot, etc., in which water droplets attached to a lid cover do not wet the body or floor.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention includes a body on which a spout is placed, a container attached to the spout and containing water, etc., and an opening of the container that can be opened and closed. a lid cover that covers the lower surface of the lid; a hinge base formed at the rear of the spout and provided with an L-shaped groove consisting of a vertical opening groove and a lateral locking groove; It has a rotating shaft that is inserted into the L-shaped groove of the hinge base and rotatably supports the lid body, and the L-shaped groove is open on both sides of the hinge base, and the both end faces of the hinge base and Correspondingly, the spout is provided with a recess that extends toward the container.

Effect According to the above structure, when the lid body is opened, water droplets adhering to the lid cover run down the lid cover and drip into the recess provided on the hinge stand or in the vicinity thereof, and the water droplets adhering to the lid cover are dripped into the recess provided on the hinge stand or in the vicinity thereof, and the water droplets adhering to the lid cover are dripped through the opening of the recess on the container side. Since the water is returned to the container, it is possible to reliably prevent water droplets from wetting the body or floor.

Embodiment Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings. In Figures 1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a spout made of heat-resistant synthetic resin such as polypropylene resin, and this spout 1 is placed on the upper end of a body 2 made of printed steel plate, and is placed on the inside of the body 2. Stepped part 1
A container 4 for filling water is secured to a through a packing 3. A base 5 is provided at the lower end of the body 2, and the base 5 and the bottom surface of the container 4 are screwed together to form a main body.

A lid 6 is located above the spout 1 to open and close the opening of the container 4, and the bottom surface of the lid 6 is covered with a lid cover 7 made of stainless steel.
A rotating shaft 8 is installed at the rear of the rotary shaft 8.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a substantially box-shaped hinge base provided on the upper surface of the rear part of the spout 1. The hinge base 9 has an opening groove 9a and a locking groove 9b connected to each other so as to have an L-shaped cross section. is formed. The rotary shaft 8 of the lid 6 is inserted into the L-shaped groove 10 through the opening groove 9a, and is positioned in the locking groove 9b, so that the lid 6 is pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable.

In FIG. 2, 12 is a recess provided on both sides of the hinge stand 9, and the recess 12 forms an inclined surface that becomes lower toward the container 4 side.

With the above-mentioned configuration, in the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. Some of it drips along the surface as shown by the arrow A due to the ribs 11, but some of it with momentum goes over the ribs 11 and drops onto the L of the hinge stand 9.
The water is dripped into the L-shaped groove 10, further dripped from the L-shaped groove 10 into a recess 12 provided in the vicinity, and finally condensed into the container 4 through the opening of the recess 12 on the container side. .

Furthermore, even if the water droplets that flowed down from the lid cover 7 were to drop directly in the vicinity of the hinge stand 9,
Water droplets can be condensed into the container 4 by the recess 12 having an opening on the container side.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, since a recess is provided near the hinge base and the recess has an opening on the container side, water droplets attached to the lid cover that covers the lower surface of the lid are removed. The water drips down the lid cover into the recess, and then returns into the container through the opening of the recess.As a result, water droplets are reliably prevented from dripping onto the body or floor, making them wet or dirty. It is something that can be done.
