DE19847090A1 - Cooking pan lid stand comprises swept vee body terminating in upwards expanding eyelets plus fixed angles between stand areas throughout - Google Patents

Abstract

The stand is one-piece in a swept vee (5) with top-point eyelets expanding upwards and areas (3-5) meeting at a fixed obtuse angle. Area (3) adjoins area (4) at an obtuse angle with an expanding eyelet at the top end. A further area adjoining the far ends of area (5) has fixed length and transfers into an area which rises at a set angle and goes over after a fixed distance into an eyelet area. Eyelet and body areas meet at a defined angle, and struts join the eyelet area to the area (4) adjoining.

Description

The invention relates to a stand according to the preamble of claim 1.

The task is the safe and stable storage and collection of condensed water misted pot lids.

The problems in the household are the large amount of space when the Lid is placed on the work surface, which is covered with condensation and sauce stains Work surface and any burn marks from the edge of the lid on the work surface. Will the Put the lid on the handle, the dirty work surface is omitted, but the Risk of injury from burns increases, because when the pot lid is picked up the The distance between the worktop and the pot lid is very small and the view of the handle of the pot lid is covered. The pot lid must be placed so that the view of the Handle of the lid is guaranteed at all times, the condensation remains in the lid and the Worktop is not damaged.

The following items are known in the household regarding this problem.

German laid-open specification 41 16 485 A1 shows a lid holder with a W-shaped shelf. This holder is very unstable, since it is not a closed system and can therefore be easily bent unintentionally during handling and the safety suffers greatly. If the system is made with very strong and torsion-resistant material, it becomes very expensive and very heavy. The slanted arms ( 2 ) shift the center of gravity so far that a slight touch during cooking can cause the holder to tip over, making handling very cumbersome. A secure pick-up of the lid is not guaranteed because it has to be put under the lid with the hand and the view of the handle of the lid is no longer possible (risk of burns). In addition, the holder must be high enough for the hand to get in and out comfortably can (risk of burns). It also doesn't make sense to put two lids on top of each other because the taste of the two dishes mixes. Handling with two lids is also somewhat complicated, since you have to be careful when choosing a pot and need both hands to get to the lower lid. With large roaster lids, the complete view of the holder is blocked when it is put down and safe putting down is not guaranteed. If this holder is not used, a very large amount of space is required.

In German Offenlegungsschrift 36 09 922, a U- mounted horizontally to the wall is Shaped holder described, which is not universally suitable for all lids, since the light Clearance is too large for small lids. The risk of burns is due to the The fact that you have to get under the lid is very large.

In the German Offenlegungsschrift 34 47 458 a holder for certain lid sizes is open described on several floors. Handling is a bit complicated because of the right holder must be searched for each lid. The height of the holder is the same for most kitchens a problem.

In the German utility model 78 37 553 a bowl is described which for oval and small lid is unusable.

The present invention is characterized by simple and safe handling when Quickly pick up and set down pots and roaster lids with a small footprint. The special construction of the stand makes it a unique function under high safety aspects, given very little space. There are 4 different models to choose from, all based on the same principle.

Fig. 1 universal pot lid stand for all round and oval lids with a central handle.

Fig. 2 universal pot lid stand for all lids (round, oval, rectangular with and without a handle).

Fig. 3 Universal pot lid stand for all lids (round, oval, rectangular with and without a handle), but suitable for two pot lids.

Fig. 4 universal pot lid stand for integration into existing hanging systems.

Tasks of the individual areas:

• 1. Serves to stabilize ( 2 ) and ensures a safe stand.
• 2. Serves as a stabilizer for large lids with and without a handle.
• 3. Serves as a support surface for small lids and is at the maximum Pot lid depth matched.
• 4. Serves as a support for the lid so that it can be safely parked at any time guarantee.
• 5. Used to lean the lid and, if present, to insert the Pot lid handle.
• 6. Serves the stability of the stand.
• 7. Used to stabilize the holder in the hanging system.

Fig. 1) Consists of the areas ( 3 ) / ( 4 ) / ( 5 ) / ( 6 ) / ( 6 a)

Fig. 2) Consists of the areas ( 1 ) / ( 2 ) / ( 3 ) / ( 4 ) / ( 5 ) / ( 6 /) ( 6 a)

Fig. 3) Consists of the areas ( 2 ) / ( 3 ) / ( 4 ) / ( 5 ) / ( 6 ) / ( 6 a)

Fig. 4) Consists of the areas ( 1 ) / ( 2 ) / ( 3 ) / ( 4 ) / ( 5 ) / ( 6 a) / ( 7 )

The stand is characterized by the defined angle between area ( 3 ) and ( 5 ). At this angle, all the condensed water collects safely in every edge of the lid. The length of area ( 3 ) is designed so that even very deep pot lids (heavy glass lids) find a secure hold. The angle between area ( 3 ) and ( 5 ) is for the max. Depth of the pot lid. As the depth of the pot lid increases, the angle automatically increases, making collecting the condensed water even safer. The special shape of area ( 5 ) is coordinated so that pot lids with round, elongated, oval or even without a handle can be safely placed. An optimal adaptation for existing pot series can be produced easily and without great effort. A secure and stable stand of the stand is ensured by the areas ( 1 ), ( 3 ) and ( 6 ). In addition, the center of gravity of a pot lid to be placed is inside the stand. Area ( 2 ) serves as a support for very large lids, this area is not shown in FIG. 1 since the additional support is not necessary for round and oval lids. In Fig. 4 additional struts area ( 7 ) are attached to make the hanging system more stable. The stand is preferably made of stainless steel or any other metallic or non-metallic material.
