Description
Title Device For Registering The Temperature Inside A Foodstuff Placed In An Oven Field Of The Invention The present invention concerns an electronic device suitable for registering temperature, and in particular a device suitable for monitoring the temperature of a foodstuff placed inside an oven provided with a door with a handle.
Background Of The Invention It is particularly useful to include in a conventional domestic oven a device suitable for monitoring the temperature inside said oven and registering the effective temperature of a foodstuff placed inside it, and to be able to display said temperatures on a user interface at the same time.
The use of electronic devices suitable for monitoring the internal temperature of food during cooking is well known in the field of domestic ovens. An example of a system suitable for monitoring the cooking of the food inside an oven is known from EP 1275945, which describes a device comprising a first temperature sensor to be inserted into the food, a second sensor for monitoring the temperature of the air inside the oven and a user interface connected to said sensors by a cable or by wireless transmission. No reference is provided either as to the location of the device or to the system for fixing the same to the oven.
Summary Of The Invention The aim of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive electronic device of the type specified at the beginning of the description that is easy to connect to and remove from said oven, in order to facilitate cleaning and/or maintenance.
This aim is achieved through the characteristics specified in the attached claims. In particular the device according to the invention comprises a user interface provided with a casing and a temperature probe suitable for being inserted into the food, said casing further comprising fixing means for a mobile connection for the device to the handle of the oven.
The presence of a electrical connection lead necessary for transmitting data from the temperature sensor to the user interface (the preferred solution because of its cost, which is less than a wireless solution) makes it convenient, in order to reduce the length of said lead, to locate the user interface the shortest possible distance from said oven. The present invention provides for the user interface to be provided with a casing with a portion being substantially C-shaped in order to allow said device to hook on to the oven door and preferably to the horizontal handle of the oven.
Another embodiment of the device according to the invention provides for part of said casing to comprise magnetic material in order to allow connection between said device and a metallic element of the oven door.
According to a variant embodiment of the device a switch can be provided for selecting the temperature display in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees centigrade.
Another example embodiment of the device according to the invention provides for said temperature probe to comprise a first sensor suitable for registering the temperature inside the food and a second sensor suitable for registering the temperature within the oven, and for the temperatures to be displayed simultaneously or alternately on the user interface.
Brief Description of The Drawings Further advantages and characteristics of a device according to the invention will be obvious from the following detailed description, provided purely by way of non-restrictive example, with reference to the attached drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device according to the invention,

Brief Description of The Drawings Further advantages and characteristics of a device according to the invention will be obvious from the following detailed description, provided purely by way of non-restrictive example, with reference to the attached drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device according to the invention,
2 - Figure 2 is a front view of the device in Figure 1, - Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the device, - Figure 4 is a perspective view that illustrates the closure of the battery compartment of the device, and - Figure 5 is a front view of a traditional oven provided with a door with a handle to which the device according to the invention is applicable.
Description Of The Preferred Embodiment Figure 1 illustrates a device D according to the invention comprising a parallelepipedal-shaped casing 1 having a substantially C-shaped upper part 2 for the purpose of allowing said device to hook on to an oven handle M (Figure 5), a user interface 3 ("display"), a button panel 4, an electrical connection lead 5, and a temperature probe 5a.
In Figure 2 the user interface 3 provides for the simultaneous display of a first temperature 6 transmitted from the probe 5a suitable for registering the temperature inside the food (for example a roast joint of meat) and a second temperature 7 transmitted from a second sensor of the probe 5a suitable for registering the temperature within the oven.
Figure 3 clearly shows the casing 1 which, in its upper part 2, is substantially C-shaped in order to allow said device to hook on to the oven handle M.
Alternatively, the upper part 2 can be shaped in such a way as to allow the device D
to hook directly on to an upper edge K (Figure 5) of the oven door.
Figure 4 is an exploded view of the device according to the invention comprising an outer front shell Al, a switch 8 for selecting the temperature display in degrees Fahrenheit or degrees centigrade (Figure 4), an electronic control unit 9, a removable battery B, a glass plate V and an outer rear shell A2, which also acts as a battery cover. The outer rear shell A2 (Figure 4) can be clicked on to the device D.

The outer rear shell A2 (Figure 4) can be clicked on to the device D.
3 The electronic control unit 9 also provides a function of presetting the desired temperature. This function allows the user to select the desired internal temperature of the food; when this value is reached an acoustic signal integrated into the device will inform the user that the desired value has been reached.
An examination of the characteristics of the device according to the invention will make apparent the ease, for the user, either of applying the device to the oven door, or of removing it from said door for cleaning, replacing flat batteries and ordinary maintenance. Moreover, the hook-type configuration of a portion of the device also allows it to be securely supported even when the oven door is in its open configuration, at the same time allowing continuous display of the temperature of the food even when the door is open.
Another advantage of the device according to the invention is that it can be used on any type of electric or gas oven, irrespective of the type of temperature control used in the oven.
