Abstract:
A lever operating mechanism for air-pressure utilizing hot pots comprising;a lid;a bellows pump;an inside lever in the lid for compressing the bellows pump contained in the lid; an operating lever for operating the inside lever from the outside of the lid; an arm inside the lid for transmitting the operating movement of the operating lever to the inside lever; a mount frame, wherein base end sides of the inside lever and the operating lever are rotatably pivoted to the mount frame fixed to a rear end of the lid, a base end side of the arm is rotatably pivoted to the inside lever, and the liquid inside an inner container is discharged outside through a liquid discharge passage with pressurized air from the bellows pump by the operation of the operating lever, wherein when a free end of the operating lever is raised from a storage position the operating lever, arm, and inside lever are engaged and operated in linkage to bring the bellows pump into the compressible condition, the operating lever is operated to move downwards and the bellows pump is pressed down during this compression process to pump liquid, when the free end of the operating lever is raised to a greater extend than the operating lever in the compression process, the base end side end of the operating lever compresses to slide the base end side end of the inside lever forward and the arm is allowed to disengage from the operating lever, wherein a support rod portion of the operating lever comes in contact with an inside lever pin portion and the inside lever is moved backwards together with the arm and the operating lever.
