Abstract

We provide a teapot with a flanged pipe section at the hot water outlet. [Solution] By providing a flange tube 1 at the hot water outlet 2 of the teapot and using a lid 4 with a lip, the lid with the lip catches on the flange tube on the teapot body 3, preventing it from falling off. Traditionally, the lid of a teapot had to be held down by hand. This solves the problem that it was inconvenient for people with limited use of their hands who could only use one hand to hold down the lid.
