Abstract

Strainer cover for pressure cookers, characterized in that it comprises the following elements: an outer surface (1) of metal with handle (2) and stem (3) together with a recess (4) for straining the liquid and against said recess (4) an air supply outlet (5), in communication with said outer surface (1), a lower skirt (6) provided with lugs (7) between said lower skirt (6) and the lugs (7) a seal (8) for hermetic closure type bayonet attached, • a sieve (9) or metal mesh as a sieve between the outer surface (1) and the lower enclosure (6), • a holder made of food safe plastic for retaining solids (10 or 10.1), which is attached to the sieve.

Description

Subject of the invention

The invention relates to the development of a lid with a screen function for pressure cookers, which replaces the original lid after cooking the food contained in the pressure cooker and hermetically rests on the pot edge, so that the cooking liquid can be safely poured off and the food is ready for consumption.

Background of the invention

At present, different types of lids with a sieve function are already known for pouring the liquid produced by cooking, which are offered by various brands for this purpose on the market. These covers are usually made of an additional metal lid with numerous openings in the surface for pouring the liquid by tilting the pot, but offer the user during tipping little security.

Are known covers conventional type, which rest on the pot edge and the sealing lip is in the recess, so that when tilting the pot for pouring the liquid through the corresponding openings a kind of holding device is required to allow the straining and the safety of the user to ensure.

In this sense, in the Spanish utility model ES0157600U a lid for saucepans and / or containers generally described, the surface of which contains a circular section with numerous openings. The inside of the lid includes a circular segment of the same dimensions as the apertured circular portion. By turning the mentioned segment, the liquid pot contents can be strained. The disadvantage is that when eating solid foods clog the lid openings and can make the Abseihvorgang difficult.

Description of the invention

To offer another solution to the mentioned disadvantages, a sieve lid for pressure cookers was invented, which replaced after the cooking of the food contained in the pressure cooker the original lid and hermetically rests on the pot edge, so that the cooking liquid can be safely poured off and the food is ready for consumption.

• – Eine äußere Oberfläche aus Metall mit Griff und Stiel nebst einer Aussparung zum Abseihen der Flüssigkeit und gegenüber der genannten Aussparung einen Auslass für die Luftzufuhr, um die Entleerung des Topfes zu erleichtern.
• – In Verbindung mit der genannten äußeren Oberfläche eine untere Einfassung, die mit Nasen ausgestattet ist, um den Bajonettverschluss mit einem Schnellkochtopf zu ermöglichen. Zwischen der genannten Einfassung und den Nasen ist eine Dichtung angebracht.
• – Ein Sieb oder Metallgewebe als Sieb zwischen der äußeren Oberfläche und der Metalleinfassung.
• – Eine Halterung aus lebensmittelsicherem Kunststoff zum Zurückhalten von Feststoffen, die in dem der Aussparung entsprechenden Bereich angebracht ist und als Staubereich dient, um die Sättigung des Siebes zu verhindern.

The screen cover according to the invention comprises:

• - An outer surface of metal with handle and handle together with a recess for straining the liquid and against said recess an outlet for the air supply to facilitate the emptying of the pot.
• - In conjunction with the aforementioned outer surface, a lower skirt equipped with lugs to allow the bayonet closure with a pressure cooker. Between the said enclosure and the lugs a seal is attached.
• - A sieve or metal mesh as a sieve between the outer surface and the metal border.
• - A food safe plastic holder for retaining solids, which is mounted in the corresponding area of the recess and serves as a storage area to prevent the saturation of the screen.

The bayonet catch is used by most manufacturers of pressure cookers, so the strainer lid recommended here fits most of the pressure cookers marketed today.

By attaching a seal in the sieve lid, this closes the respective pressure cooker hermetically and the Abseihvorgang can be done absolutely safe.

The solids retention device consists of a semicircular grid that allows liquids to pass through while retaining solid food to prevent screen saturation and allow jam-free straining. The said solids retention support is either attached to the screen and then partially covers it, or alternatively it is circular and completely covers the screen.

Advantages of the invention

The presented perforated lid for pressure cookers offers numerous advantages over the covers available for the same purpose. The most significant advantage is that after cooking the food contained in the pressure cooker, it replaces the original lid and hermetically rests against the rim of the pot, so that the cooking liquid can be safely poured off and the food is ready for consumption.

An additional advantage is the presence of a seal in the strainer cover, which provides a hermetic seal, which ensures the safety of the user during the Abseihens.

Another significant advantage is that the sieve lid is equipped with a metal sieve, which facilitates the pouring of the liquid through a recess in the upper part of the sieve lid.

A significant advantage is also that the screen cover has on its underside a support for retaining solids that partially covers the screen to prevent the saturation of the screen and to allow a strain without interruptions.

An advantage, moreover, is that the solids retention support in an alternative embodiment completely covers the screen.

The technical person skilled in the art understands that features of different designs can be combined with features of other possible designs, provided that this combination is technically possible.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

The nature and features of the invention will be better understood with the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In 1 the sieve lid is shown from below. Marked are the lower border ( 6 ) with the noses ( 7 ), which allow the bayonet closure with a pressure cooker. Between the said enclosure ( 6 ) and the noses ( 7 ) there is a seal ( 8th ). Also marked are a handle ( 2 ) and a stalk ( 3 ).

In addition, a sieve ( 9 ) or metal mesh, which serves as a sieve, and attached to it a holder made of food-safe plastic ( 10 ) for retaining solids, which forms a storage area which increases the saturation of the sieve ( 9 ) prevented.

The holder ( 10 ) to retain solids is with the sieve ( 9 ) and partially covers this.

2 shows a longitudinal section of the in 1 shown Siebdeckels. Therein are the outer surface ( 1 ) marked with a recess ( 4 ) for pouring out the liquid and an outlet ( 5 ) opposite the said recess ( 4 ) is provided for the air supply to facilitate the emptying of the pot. The mentioned outer surface ( 1 ) is fitted with a lower frame ( 6 ) with noses ( 7 ) connected. Between the lower frame ( 6 ) and the noses ( 7 ) there is a seal ( 8th ).
