expedient Embodiment of the present invention

A expedient embodiment of the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to drawing figures. Show it:

1 a highly simplified schematic representation of the stove according to the invention in side view,

2 a highly simplified schematic representation of the essential, the operation of functional elements of the digester and

3 a very simplified schematic representation of the control panel.

numeral 1 in 1 denotes the cooker according to the invention, for. B. kettle, in its entirety. It includes a base part 4 , which is connected via a cable to the electrical network. On the base part 4 is the container 2 the cooker 1 on. The container 2 includes a handle 5 , a lid 3 as well as a bridge 6 that the lid 3 with the handle 5 combines. In addition, at the front of the container 2 a spout 19 intended. Furthermore, the container comprises 2 a heating device 23 For example, an induction field (not shown) or a heating coil (not shown).

The container 2 can easily from the base part 4 removed and put on the latter again.

As in 2 is shown, the digester includes one with a memory 21 equipped microprocessor 20 which via input means 24 features and with a heater 23 in the bottom area of the container 2 the cooker is connected. Furthermore, the microprocessor with a temperature sensor 22 in connection, which is also in the area of the container 2 the cooker 1 located. reference numeral 24 denotes input means, e.g. B. keys to select or enter.

The microprocessor also has an actual temperature display 17 as well as several setpoint temperature displays 16 , Each setpoint temperature display 16 is a temperature selection key (cf. 3 ).

Out 3 is the control panel 7 the cooker 1 seen. It is located in the area of the bridge 6 (see. 1 ).

The control panel includes a preferably illuminated on / off switch 25 , with which the heating process of the kettle 1 can be started. There are also temperature preselection buttons 9 . 10 and 11 provided temperatures of 37.5 ° C, 85 ° C and 99.9 ° C in a display 8th assigned. These are the target temperature displays 16 , ie the temperatures that represents the final temperature after the heating process.

the display 8th further includes an actual temperature display 17 representing the actual temperature of the liquid in the container. The display is expediently designed in a good contrast ratio as an illuminated display.

The respective target temperature 16 the associated temperature preselection button 9 . 10 respectively. 11 can after appropriate selection of the temperature preset button by pressing so-called set buttons 12 respectively. 13 to be changed. In the 3 With 12 designated Settaste serves to increase the target temperature in question, whereas the reference numeral 13 characterized Settaste serves to lower the relevant target temperature. If the desired temperature amount is set, it is stored by, for example, pressing the temperature preselection key again.

In addition, the control panel has 7 via a switch 14 , This includes over two switch positions. The first switching position relates to a first operating state "heating up to reaching the selected preset temperature and the automatic shutdown". The second switching position relates to a second operating state "keeping the current temperature constant". The switch 14 allows z. Example, to track the temperature increase of the liquid contained within the container in the first operating state and upon reaching an intermediate temperature, ie a temperature which is between the starting temperature and the end temperature to be reached, the heating up If necessary, remove the fluid and, if necessary, remove fluid at a lower temperature (for example, to prepare baby food) and then switch the switch again 4 continue the heating, for example, to provide hot water to infuse a tea.

In Advantageously, the second operating state includes a circuit, at the inside of the container on the concerned Temperature is maintained liquid temperature, d. H. remains at this temperature.
