However, in the current market, the usability of products has become important and demanded. Further, as the products become more compact, the frequency of moving the products is increasing. From such a viewpoint, a handle rotatable in the front-rear direction for carrying the rice cooker is installed so as to be pivotally supported on the left and right sides of the main body. However, the amount of storage in the pot varies, and there are cases where the amount of cooked rice is the maximum, and cases where the pot itself is not stored. In addition, the state of the cooked rice may be biased to one side.

As described above, if the handle is rotatable, the center of gravity of the product main body is not constant depending on the amount of storage in the pot, so that the main body may rotate in the front-rear direction when the main body is carried. When it was lifted, it was skewed in one direction, making it less transportable.

[0006] The semicircular shape of the handle is difficult to improve the dimensional accuracy of the part. Therefore, when the main body is assembled, the side portion is not symmetrical and often rubs against the main body.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a handle for carrying the main body, which is formed in a semicircular shape of a resin material, and has a rotating shaft 11b integrally formed at both ends with a projection 11a provided on the back surface of a projection projecting from the peripheral wall. Is formed. Further, a concave portion 11c which comes into contact with the body 3 and the upper frame 4 is provided at a position slightly away from the rotation shaft 11a of the handle 11. The upper frame 4 is provided with a protrusion 4a for releasing the contact of the handle recess 11c in the upright state when the handle 11 is used.

Due to this regulation, the main body can be kept horizontal regardless of the storage capacity and state in the pot 12 when the main body is transported, and the main body is always stable and the transportability is improved. Since the state in which the handle 11 is restricted is not in the locked state, the restriction is released by applying a certain load. The load for releasing the regulation is set to about 500 gf by two conditions, that is, the condition that the body is not tilted under the condition that the body is tilted to the maximum without being used by a person and causing pain.

Although the width of the handle concave portion 11c is smaller than the handle width, this configuration can minimize the upper frame convex portion 4a and improve the appearance. In addition, by reducing the size of the handle concave portion 11a, the state of the handle 11 when standing can be stabilized.

As described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, when the handle is turned and raised, the projection above the shaft hole of the main body enters the contact recess inside the handle with a click feeling, and the handle is turned. Is regulated vertically. When the main body is transported, the state in the pot varies, such as empty, maximum cooked rice amount, and one-sided offset. However, irrespective of the state in the pot, this regulation allows the main body to be kept horizontal regardless of the state in the pot, thereby improving the transportability of the main body. According to the second aspect of the present invention, the number of protrusions of the main body can be minimized, and the quality of appearance can be improved.
