Abstract

heated Kettle with an upper closable opening (1a), with the kettle (1) near the ground having a faucet for discharging hot water and wherein in the mantle of the boiler (1) above its projected maximum level a lateral steam outlet opening (4), characterized in that below the steam outlet opening (4), but still above the projected maximum fill level, a protruding from the jacket, in the kettle (1) projecting splash guard (8) is located.

Description

The The invention relates to a heatable kettle with a upper closable opening, where the kettle near the bottom of a Faucet for draining hot Has water.

To the close the upper opening can e.g. a jug with a tea concentrate placed on this become. In such a set consisting of a kettle and a pot is a so-called samovar, in which the kettle on the one hand to keep warm in the teapot Teekonzentrates serves and on the other hand provides hot water, to dilute the tea concentrate poured into a cup. Of the Kettle is either equipped with its own resistance heating or can be placed on a stove top to keep the water in the kettle to keep it at a temperature just below the boiling point.

there lets it Do not avoid that part of the water in the kettle evaporated. To an overpressure to avoid, is above the configured maximum level a lateral steam outlet opening with a sufficiently large cross-section provided in the shell of the kettle. Often this opening is as simple punch hole formed. This has the disadvantage that at hot boiling water Drops of water emerging from the bubbling water surface be carried away by the water vapor. These can cause unpleasant burns on the skin.

The Invention is thus based on the task of a kettle according to the preamble of claim 1, in which this source of danger prevented is.

to solution of the problem the invention that, below the steam outlet opening, but still above the projected maximum fill level, a protruding from the jacket, in the boiler protruding splash guard is located.

On This way will prevent hot water splashes in the area in front of the steam outlet where they could be carried away by the steam.

Around also oblique emerging from the water surface Withhold water drops, the invention provides that the splash guard is on both sides of the extends lateral extent of the steam outlet opening addition.

Of the Splash guard does not have to be complicated. It is enough when this one attached to the jacket of the kettle Sheet metal that extends approximately horizontally.

there The sheet is about three times as wide as the steam outlet. Its radial extent is approximately the width of the steam outlet opening.

Farther Has been shown to be a simple opening in the jacket of the kettle causes that the steam exits substantially horizontally and thereby relatively is carried away from the boiler. Again, this is a source of danger because the hot Steam enters areas you may not suspect would.

The Invention proposes therefore, before that the steam outlet is formed by a channel which is directed obliquely upwards.

Thereby the escaping steam remains in a near area to the kettle, in which an operator will act very carefully. on the other hand he will at least as far as a piece carried away from the kettle, the teapot on the kettle not in the area of steam, so this is not from Outside is heated.

Preferably is the channel in an insert formed into a punched hole in the wall of the kettle is used.

Farther the splash guard has a downwardly directed section, on which a mark to mark the projected maximum level is appropriate.

in the The following is based on an embodiment the invention closer explained become. To show:

1 a longitudinal section through a kettle with an attached teapot and the

2 a longitudinal section through a steam outlet opening in the shell of the kettle.

A tea set consists of a kettle 1 with an upper opening 1a for pouring water and one on the kettle 1 mounted teapot 2 , Usually this is directly on the kettle 1 put on, leaving their bottom the top opening 1a closes. In the embodiment shown is located below the bottom of the teapot 2 another lid 3 with a central opening, leaving the bottom of the teapot 2 only in the area of this central opening the hot steam from the kettle 1 is exposed. The heater for the kettle is not shown in detail. Also not shown is a Faucet just above the bottom of the kettle 1 from which hot water is taken.

In the upper part of the kettle 1 there is a steam outlet 4 , As the 2 shows, the steam outlet opening 4 in one insert 5 realized in which a channel 6 is trained.

The insert 5 consists of a plastic that fits perfectly into a punched hole 7 clipped into the wall of the kettle. It is from the outside into the punch hole 7 used and held in it by undercuts.

Of the 2 is further evident that the channel 6 directed obliquely upwards.

Below the steam outlet 4 there is a splash guard 8th , which consists of a roughly horizontally extending sheet metal 9 exists, by means of two tabs 10 on the wall of the kettle 1 is attached. The lateral extent of the sheet 9 corresponds approximately to three times the width of the steam outlet opening measured in the circumferential direction of the kettle, while the depth of the sheet 9 in the radial direction approximately equal to the width of the steam outlet opening 4 is.

At the radially inner edge of the sheet 9 There is a down-angled section 11 whose lower end in turn has a horizontal section 12 having. This section serves as a marking of the configured maximum fill level.

The splash guard 8th is thus located between the steam outlet 4 and the configured maximum level.

The Invention finds particular application in a samovar, in whose Kettle water is heated. In principle, however, the invention can for every Type of unpressurized boiler used in which a liquid heated so much that it evaporates.

Of the Term water is thus intended to include any type of liquid.
