Designation: Filter lid for garden pots Description:

The invention relates to a filter cover for Cooking pots with simmering fat / especially for the (Burgundian) fondue or as a deep fryer.

Such a lid is used to cover the top of a container, which hot oil or other suitable Contains fat at the temperature required for cooking food.

The invention is based on the object that the lid allows the introduction of food into the oil bath and also that Removal from the container allows, but at the same time a sufficient seal or separation between the inside of the container and the outer parts of the device.

For this purpose, the filter cover according to the invention has movable flaps, which the introduction and Allow the removal of food, for example pieces of meat that have been skewered on a fork,

Apart from the moment in which the food is brought into the interior of the container or after Are removed from the cooking process, the movable flaps provide a sufficient seal, so

° that the oil vapors are filtered if this to the outside through a filter cartridge.

The movable flaps close automatically by pivoting around one in their upper or uppermost part

¹ ^ located axis, the movement being caused by the pressure that; exerts the food to be cooked on the outer surface of the flap; this force effect is compensated solely by a spring which is arranged under the fixed part of the lid and is in contact with the inner part of the flap; As soon as the food item is immersed in the oil bath and the handle of the fork is placed in one of the recesses provided for it, the flap is automatically moved back to its starting position and closes the passage opening through the filter cover.

The movable flaps are made of transparent or translucent material, so that you can determine the degree of cooking the food items can be observed without having to take them out of the container where the oil fumes rise.

When the food items are removed again after the cooking process, the flap will work automatically pulled up, and when the food item no longer touches the flap, it falls under the action of theirs Dead weight back into the closed position.

Since the flap is at rest in an axial position relative to the cover wall without any external force, the device according to the invention can also advantageously be used for cooking other dishes

An exemplary embodiment of the invention is described in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

The lid 3 consists of a temperature and oil resistant Material, and it is designed so that it is on a container 1 in which oil or boiling fat is located, can be put on.

25th

The cover 3 contains a replaceable filter cartridge

2, which can be replaced after repeated use. This cartridge is housed in a receiving space, the bottom of which, like the filter holder, is provided with ο «passage openings.

The lid 3 also contains one or more transparent or translucent movable flaps 4, which consist of heat- and oil- or grease-resistant material oc. A spring 5 ensures that the flap 4 in the plane of the wall of the cover 3 after introduction

'is returned from food items.

The cover 3 is preferably essentially frusto-pyramidal formed / and the filter cartridge 2 is located in its upper part; the pyramid shape - is advantageous for guiding the oil vapors through the Filter element.

; The movable flaps 4 located on the inclined surfaces of the cover 3 ^ O .. Its task is to allow the introduction of '.- by Sgüeisenteileig in the oil bath and the removal of the cooked food portions; this achieves a sufficient seal or separation between the interior of the container and the exterior parts of the device. "" 5 For this purpose, the flaps 4 have a pivot axis 8 in their upper or uppermost part, which allows pivoting in one or the other direction, namely by an angle 11 which can be up to 180 ° or more. ■

The filter 5 is fastened to the inner surface of the lid 3 by fastening parts 10, and it stands above supporting part 12 with the flap 4 in contact when it is in the closed position.

A collecting channel 6 is located on the entire circumference of the Lid 3 to collect the oil that drips off the food. This oil can then be put into the oil bath get back through openings 7 for receiving the rods of the forks during the cooking process are determined.

To prevent the ZVL from falling back into the oil bath when it is removed, there is a fixed one

is designed as an axial part of the cover 3; here-

332573

this prevents food items from getting stuck at this point.

If now the user insert parts of the food into the cooking space he wants / exerts a pressure or impact on the movable part through the fork to which the food part is attached The flap opens, and this force is essentially proportional to that exerted by the spring 5 via the support part 12 Counterforce.

Once the food item is placed on the bottom of the container is, the stem or the handle of the fork should be in the opening or recess 7 in the fixed part of the Cover 3 are housed. The spring 5 then moves the flap 4 back into the axial plane of the inclined Wall of the cover 3..

One or more forks can be inserted simultaneously or one after the other through a flap; the number of Forks is only limited by the number of openings or recesses 7 in the lower part of the Insertion opening of the flaps.

If the user then wants to remove the food item after he has determined the degree of cooking by the has observed transparent flap 4, causes the corresponding movement of the food part automatically a lifting of the flap; the force to be applied is only limited by the weight of the flap. At this point in time, the spring 5 no longer touches the flap, and the food part can therefore not move Loosen from the fork and fall back into the oil bath.

In addition, the movement of the flap is guaranteed by the corresponding arrangement of the pivot axis 8 of the flap the removal of the part of the meal through the solid wall

tion of the lid limited, in such a way that the center of gravity of the flap does not have the pivot axis of this Flap can get out; the approximately maximum opening angle to be maintained is shown in FIG. 1 under the reference number 11. This ensures that the The flap folds down after removing the food items, forks or the like from the opening of the lid and closes automatically so that the sealing condition is restored. 10

The invention is not limited to what is shown and written Embodiment limited. In particular, the shape and the articulation of the flaps in the Within the framework of professional trade can be changed in an appropriate manner.
