Abstract:
A thermos bottle, comprising:a bottle body having an internal liquid tank, wherein an opening is formed at an upper end of said liquid tank;a lower cover collared onto an upper end of said bottle body, wherein an air tank fixed to said lower cover is provided with a vent at its upper end and lower end respectively; a water pipe is inset in said liquid tank; a through hole is formed at a front end of said lower cover for one end of said water pipe to project out;an upper cover having a rear end screw-jointed and a front end snap-fastened to corresponding ends of said lower cover; wherein said upper cover is a hollow housing unit having its upper end pivot-jointed to a valve of a press mechanism; a lower end of said valve is inset in an air supply mechanism;said press mechanism containing a press portion, wherein the rear end of said press portion is pivot-jointed to the rear end of said upper cover; at a position adjacent to its center, said press portion is pivot-jointed to a supporting rod, which is in turn pivot-jointed to said valve via another supporting rod; a snap-fastening portion is arranged at the front end of said press portion for snap-retaining at said upper cover;said air supply mechanism containing a press pan, wherein said valve is supported by said press pan, which is connected to the bottom end of said upper cover via a flexible air compressor; a spring is disposed in said air compressor for connecting said valve to the bottom of said upper cover;by raising up said press portion, those two supporting rods being stretched to support each other, and by pressing said press portion down, said valve, press pan, flexible air compressor, and spring being driven to supply air into said liquid tank to force the water to flow out, and in virtue of elastic force of said spring, said press portion being restored and ready for next press; in idle period, a push of protruded portion of the upper supporting rod over said press portion, those two supporting rods becoming released from snap-fastened condition, and whereby said press portion can be snap-retained to said upper cover to nullify any further press.
