Electric kettle spout flap

摘要

A spout flap for a water kettle is disclosed which is provided in the spout opening to prevent the user from being scalded by hot steam when pouring hot water from the kettle. The flap is hingedly mounted in the top surface of the kettle adjacent the spout and is counterbalanced such that the flap remains closed when the kettle is in its normal carrying and/or pouring position. When the user desires to fill the kettle, the spout flap may be easily swung inwardly by a slight depressing force of a water faucet.
