Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the risk of getting scalded by locating a spout away from a tapping operation part by positioning the spout away from the center line of a main body as viewed from the front or the top of the main body and placing the tapping operating part opposite the spout beyond the center of the body. SOLUTION: When power is applied after water is put in the inner vessel stored in a body 1, and a lid 15 is closed, a heating element is heated via a control means on the basis of information from a temperature sensor, and when boiling is detected, the heating element changes its condition to warming. In such pot, a tapping part (hot water tapping button) 30 which controls the supply of driving power to an electric pump is placed opposite a spout 13 provided away from the center line as viewed from the front or the top of the body. In such occasion, preferably it should be provided 6cm or more away on the plane as viewed from the top. Therefore, when hot water is tapped, hand fingers are protected from being scalded by steam and spattering hot water.

く、非常に使い勝手が悪いものであった。In recent years, in addition to beverages such as coffee and tea, jar pots have been used in a wide range of uses, such as using a large amount of hot water in a pot for boiling cups or for boiling noodles. Along with the increase, the number of electric hot-water baths that can be easily supplied is increasing rapidly. In these electric tapping-type jar pots, the gate is located on the center line when viewed from the front of the main body or the upper surface of the main body. Therefore, when a large amount of hot water is poured into a pot or the like at the time of tapping operation, the steam of the tapping water rises, and the steam is applied to a finger of a person performing the tapping operation, which may cause a burn or the like. is there. In addition, when pouring hot water with the lid half open, such as cup noodles, it is difficult to put in, the hot water jumps over, the hot water hangs on your fingers, and you often feel hot, so it is very inconvenient to use Was something.

る。Next, when the tapping operation section 30 of the operation panel section 24 is pressed to tap the tap water in the inner container 2, the electric pump 9 for tapping operates while the tapping operation section 30 is being pressed, and the tap water is discharged. The water flows out of the gate 13 through the outflow route. In this tapping operation, the steam of the tap water rises upward from below the spout 13, but when viewed from the front of the main body or the upper surface of the main body, the spout 13 is located at a position deviated from the center line of the main body, and Since it is located on the opposite side of the gate 13 from the center line of the main body, the distance between the gate 13 and the tapping operation unit 30 is large, so that steam is hardly applied to the fingers of the person performing the tapping operation. However, hot water is no longer applied to fingers, and the risk of burns during hot water operation is significantly reduced, so that hot water can be safely discharged.

出来るジャーポットを提供することができる。As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the gate is shifted from the center line of the main body when viewed from the front of the main body or the upper surface of the main body. By positioning it on the opposite side, the distance between the spout and the tapping operation unit is increased, so that steam is less likely to be applied to the fingers of the person performing the tapping operation, and there is less chance of hitting the tapping water during the tapping operation. The risk of burns and the like due to the steam of hot water in the above can be significantly reduced, and a jar pot that can supply hot water safely can be provided.
