Abstract
Abstract An insulating jug consisting of an insulating container and an open-topped jug-body provided with a pouring spout, the opening in the said jug being adapted to be closed by means of a threaded or bayonet-socketed cover. The said cover is held, freely rotatably, in a frame which is mounted on the body of the jug in such a manner as to pivot about an axis lying parallel with the plane of rotation of the said cover.
Description
The invention relates to an insulating jug consisting of an insulating container and an open topped jug-body provided with a pouring spout, the opening in the said jug being adapted to be closed by means of a threaded or bayonet-socketed cover.
In one kncwn jug of this kind, beEore the liquid contained therein is poured out, the cover must be completely removed and, as a rule, placed upon the table while the liquid is being poured from the jug. This additional handling is found to be inconvenient, especially since the cover, in its closed position, comes into direct contact with the liquid in the jug and, when placed upon the table, may well dirty the table or the tablecloth.
For the purpose of overcoming this problem, so called lift-stoppers, based upon different technical systems, are known, whereby, after the cover has been loosened for a certain distance governed by the design, liquid is allowed to flow from the interior o~ the jug to the pouring spout. These known lift-stoppers have been found satisfactory, except tlilat they tend to pour unpredictably as a result of the location and cross-section of the passage opened up when the stopper is lifted.
It is the purpose of the present invention to provide an insulating jug of the type mentioned at the beginning hereof, by means of which a completely free opening is obtained for pouring, with no need to remove the cover and place it elsewhere. In the jug of this invention, the cover is mounted to rotate freely in a frame, the frame being mounted on the body of the jug in such a manner as ~o pivot about an axis lying parallel with the plane of rotation of the said cover.
The invention -provides an insulating jug which makes it possible by rotating the cover in the usual manrier and opening the seal, to release the cover, which is thereafter still held in the frame, whereupon the latter i, ,~
~ /s~ i ~ 9~
is pivoted upwardly about its axis of rotation, and is thus pivo-ted completely out of the pouring spout.
The cover is preferably made in two parts, namely an inner sealing part fitted with a thread or a bayonet-segment, and an outer actuating part. Af-ter these parts are assembled, they form jointly an annular groove in which a corresponding annular flange, arranged on the frame, engages with play in all direct-ions. The sealing and actuating parts are preferably snapped together and are provided with torsional locking means, for example in that the inner surface of -the sealing part is provided with a vertical web which engages in a recess in the snapped-on actuating part.
The frame is preEerably detachable from the body of the jug, to which end bearing webs having upwardly open bearing aper--tures are arranged upon the body of the jug, while corresponding pivot-pins are arranged upon the frame, the said pivot-pins having parallel flat surfaces in such a manner that, in the one direction, they correspond in diameter to the inside diameter of the bearing shell and, in the direction at right angles thereto, as measured between the flat surfaces, they correspond in dia-meter to the width of the open slots~ The location of the flats is such that the pivot-pins are in-troduced into the bearing aper-tures with the cover in the open position, locking being effected by slight rotation into the closed position.
Finally, the frame is preferably provided with a thumb-plate projecting over the plane of the axis of rotation. After the bayonet-fastening or thread has been released, the cover ran be opened, like a double-ended lever, merely by applying pressure to the thumb-plate.
The part, improvement or combination that is claimed as the invention herein therefore comprises an insula-ting jug con-sistiny of an insulating container and an open-topped jug body provided with a pouring spout. The opening of the iug can be closed by means of a screw-type cap or a bayonet lock by means of which the cap can be pivoted from its closed position into its open position by means of a tilting lever rotatable about an axis running parallel to the plane of rotation of the cover. This permits liquid to be poured out of the jug. The cover is freely rotatable within a frame. Bearing webs with bearing shells opened by slots are disposed on the jug body and pivot pins with parallel flat surfaces are disposed in the frame in such a way that in one direction they have a diameter corresponding to that of the bearing shell and in the perpendicular direction they have a width corresponding to that of the slots. Additional features also claimed as embodiments of the invention herein are set forth with greater particularity in the claims appended here-to.
The invention is illustrated by way of example in thedrawings illustrating preferred embodiments, wherein:
Figure 1 is a cross-section through the cover-area of an insulating jug;
Figure 2 is a cross-section, similar to that in Figure 1, but through the frame containing the cover~ and illustrating an alternative cover construction;

"
Figure 3 is a cross~section similar to that in Figure 1, but through the body of the jug;
Figure 4 is a plan view of Figure 3 from above;
Figure 5 is a cross-section, to an enlarged scale, through a pivot-pin.
In the said drawings, 1 indicates the insulating con-tainer, 2 the body of the jug and 3 the pouring spout which is adapted to close by a cover 4 held, in this case by a bayonet-fastener, to the sealing surface of the body of the jug. The bayonet-segment arranged on the body of the jug is marked 5 in Figure 3, while the matching segment on the cover is marked 6 in Figure 20 Cover 4 is mounted to rotate freely in frame 7, the said fra~e being secured to body 2 of the jug in such a manner as to pivot about an axis running parellel with the plane of rotation of the cover.
Cover 4 ls made in two parts, namely an inner, sealing part 4a carrying matching bayonet-segment 6~ and an outer actuating part 4b, each part being fitted with an annular flange 9,10 defining jointly an annular groove 11 in which a corresponding annular flange 12, Eormed on frame 7, engages with play in a:ll directions. Sealing part ~a, and actuating part 4b, are snapped togetherbyatongue-and-groove detent 13 and are provided with torsional locking means, in that the inner surface of rotating part 4a is provided with a web 14 which engages in a recess in snapped-on actuating part 4b.
Frame 7 is preferably detachable from body 2 of the jug, for which purpose bearing webs 15~ with bearing apertures 17 opening upwardly with slots 16, are arranged on the body of the jug, while pivot-pins 20 are arranged in correspondingly offset webs 19 on frame 7. As shown in Figure 5, the said pivot~pins have parallel flat surfaces in such a manner that they correspond in diameter in the one direction, to inside diameter D
of the bearing shell and, in the direction at right-angles thereto, and between the flats, to the width B of the opening slots.
Finally, frame 7 is provided with a thumb-plate 21 projecting over the plane of the pivot-pin 20. After the bayonet-fastening has been released, the cover can be pivoted up, like a double-ended lever, by applying pressure to thumb plate 21.
In one kncwn jug of this kind, beEore the liquid contained therein is poured out, the cover must be completely removed and, as a rule, placed upon the table while the liquid is being poured from the jug. This additional handling is found to be inconvenient, especially since the cover, in its closed position, comes into direct contact with the liquid in the jug and, when placed upon the table, may well dirty the table or the tablecloth.
For the purpose of overcoming this problem, so called lift-stoppers, based upon different technical systems, are known, whereby, after the cover has been loosened for a certain distance governed by the design, liquid is allowed to flow from the interior o~ the jug to the pouring spout. These known lift-stoppers have been found satisfactory, except tlilat they tend to pour unpredictably as a result of the location and cross-section of the passage opened up when the stopper is lifted.

The part, improvement or combination that is claimed as the invention herein therefore comprises an insula-ting jug con-sistiny of an insulating container and an open-topped jug body provided with a pouring spout. The opening of the iug can be closed by means of a screw-type cap or a bayonet lock by means of which the cap can be pivoted from its closed position into its open position by means of a tilting lever rotatable about an axis running parallel to the plane of rotation of the cover. This permits liquid to be poured out of the jug. The cover is freely rotatable within a frame. Bearing webs with bearing shells opened by slots are disposed on the jug body and pivot pins with parallel flat surfaces are disposed in the frame in such a way that in one direction they have a diameter corresponding to that of the bearing shell and in the perpendicular direction they have a width corresponding to that of the slots. Additional features also claimed as embodiments of the invention herein are set forth with greater particularity in the claims appended here-to.
The invention is illustrated by way of example in thedrawings illustrating preferred embodiments, wherein:
