いる。Therefore, when the operating member 30.30 is pressed in the direction of arrow A (FIGS. 2 and 3), the relative sliding between the cam surfaces 23.23 and 32.32 that are brought into contact with each other causes The sliding member 20 moves forward against the spring 27, that is, in the direction indicated by arrow B.
It is adapted to move horizontally in the direction (FIGS. 2 and 3).

一方、下口側嘴部１７の両側壁３３．３３内向には、蓋
体２の施蓋時に前記爪片２９．２９と係合する突起３４
．３４がそれぞれ突設されている。On the other hand, on the inward side walls 33, 33 of the lower side beak portion 17 are protrusions 34 that engage with the claw pieces 29, 29 when the lid body 2 is closed.
．． 34 are provided protruding from each other.

従って、蓋体２は、爪片２９．２９と突起３４゜３４と
を係合せしめることによって、本体１に対して施蓋状態
を保持すべくロックされるようになっている。Therefore, the lid body 2 is locked to the main body 1 to maintain the closed state by engaging the claws 29, 29 and the protrusions 34.

次いで、図示の電気ポット等の蓋ロック装置の作用を説
明する。Next, the operation of the lid locking device of the illustrated electric kettle will be explained.

第１図図示の状態、即ち、爪片２９．２９と突起３４．
３４とが係合して蓋体２をロックしている状態にあるも
のをロック解除するには、第２図及び第３図に示すよう
に、操作部材３０．３０を矢印Ａ方向に押圧操作する。In the state shown in FIG.
34 to lock the lid 2, press the operating member 30, 30 in the direction of arrow A, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. do.

４との保合が外れてロック解除される。Then, the cam surfaces 23.23 and 32.32 that are in contact with each other
Due to the relative sliding between the sliding member 20 and the spring 2
7 horizontally in the direction of arrow B, and at the same time legs 28, 2
The claw pieces 29 and 29 of No. 8 also move horizontally to the protrusion 3493.
The bond with 4 is broken and the lock is released.

従って蓋体２を開蓋することができる。Therefore, the lid body 2 can be opened.

その後、操作部材３０１こ対する押圧力を解除すれば、
摺動部材２０はスプリング２７の付勢力によって自動的
に復帰し、ロック可能状態となる。After that, if the pressing force against the operating member 301 is released,
The sliding member 20 is automatically returned to its original state by the biasing force of the spring 27, and becomes in a lockable state.

この場合、ロック解除操作に当って、第４図図示の９口
＜巾のせまい嘴部１９を両側より挾む如くして操作部材
３０を操作するため、操作が非常に容易となるとともに
、摺動部材２０の水平移動に伴う爪片２９．２９の水平

ようにしているため、ロック解除を無理なく行うことが
でき、且つ爪片２９，２９と突起３４，３４との係合部
分を大きくすることも可能となってロックを確実ならし
めることができる。In this case, in the unlocking operation, the operating member 30 is operated by holding the narrow beak portion 19 of 9 openings shown in FIG. Since the claw pieces 29.29 are disengaged from the protrusion 34.34 by horizontal movement of the movable member 20, the claw pieces 29.29 can be unlocked easily. , 29 and the protrusions 34, 34 can be made larger, thereby making it possible to secure the lock.

又、係合保持強度においては、従来の軸による弧回動方
式のものに比して、材料選択の自由度が高くなり、従っ
て補強の自由度も高くなって適宜な保合保持強度を有す
る構造とすることができる。In addition, in terms of engagement and retention strength, there is a greater degree of freedom in material selection compared to the conventional arc-rotation method using a shaft, and therefore there is also a greater degree of freedom in reinforcement, resulting in an appropriate engagement and retention strength. It can be a structure.

更に、爪片２９．２９を前方からスプリングによって水
平方向に移動できる構造とし、後退させて係止するよう
にしているので、削後両向から係合係止が可能となり係
止強度が増大され、安定性が高くなる。Furthermore, the claw pieces 29 and 29 are structured so that they can be moved horizontally from the front by a spring, and are locked by being moved backwards, so that engagement and locking can be performed from both directions after cutting, increasing the locking strength. , stability is increased.

第５図は本考案の他の実施例を示しており、この場合、
操作部材３０．３０は摺動部材２０に一体に取付けられ
ている。FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the invention, in which case:
The operating member 30.30 is integrally attached to the sliding member 20.

従って、摺動部材２０は操作部材３０，３０の水平移動
操作によって水平移動し得るようになっている。Therefore, the sliding member 20 can be horizontally moved by the horizontally moving operation of the operating members 30, 30.

このため、喉部１９の両側壁２２．２２に形成されてい
る孔３１゜３１は長孔状とされる。For this purpose, the holes 31.degree. 31 formed in both side walls 22.22 of the throat portion 19 are elongated.

尚、上記説明においては、電気ポットを実施例としてい
るが、本考案は魔法瓶等の保温容器にも適用可能なこと
は勿論である。In the above description, an electric kettle is used as an example, but it goes without saying that the present invention can also be applied to a heat-retaining container such as a thermos flask.

続いて、本考案の電気ポット等の蓋ロック装置の効果を
以下に列記する。Next, the effects of the lid locking device for electric pots, etc. of the present invention will be listed below.

即ち、本考案によれば、 （１）蓋体側喉部１９内に該喉部１９の両側壁２２゜２

とができる。That is, according to the present invention, (1) inside the lid side throat 19, both side walls 22°2 of the throat 19 are provided;
The claw piece 29 at the tip of the leg 28 and the lower throat part 17 are vertically disposed on the lower surface of the sliding member 20, which is disposed so as to be horizontally movable along 2.
Since the protrusion 34 protruding from the inner surface engages and disengages in the horizontal direction as the sliding member 20 moves horizontally, the engagement between the claw piece 29 and the protrusion 34 is reduced compared to the conventional arc rotation. Engaging and disengaging can be performed smoothly without forcing the two, and the engaging portion between the two can be made larger, making it possible to further ensure the locked state of the lid 2.

（２）前記摺動部材２０を蓋体側喉部１９の両側壁２２
