Description

Lid holder for saucepans There are already devices for clamping the lid on saucepans to achieve a certain overpressure became known. These known, e.g. B. provided with coil springs but require devices mostly the arrangement of special components on the lid or on the pot itself known devices in which without special components on the .Topf or lid to press the lid on, a spring-loaded handle engaging under the pot on both sides Metal band is used and to achieve a sufficiently strong pressure Tensioning screws must be operated, however, the operation of such tensioning screws appears too time consuming. In these and similar devices there is also the Risk of careless contact with the screw or the other Parts burn your fingers while opening or closing. Other devices do not appear reliable enough.

The present invention relates to such a device, the particular Components neither on the lid nor on the pot itself required, and also at the same time serves as a pot holder; thus enables the pot to be lifted, moved and tilted, without; coming into contact with overheated parts. This is a special one Advantage over known devices, because the latter because of the risk of burns it is not possible to touch it without adding thermal protection. Furthermore, the Invention the use of different height pots with the same lid and. Steel belt without any change to it.

The device consists of a strong resilient metal, for example Steel band that is provided with a hook for hanging in a pot handle is, while according to the invention on its other side also with a hook for hanging in a pot handle provided with a handle at the top the metal band pivotably mounted lever is arranged. On the metal band is furthermore, a second handle is arranged in the vicinity of the first-mentioned hook. At With the two handles, the pot can be lifted, repositioned and tilted as desired. By swiveling the movable handle off, the device is removed and used in reverse. A touch of the pot or lid is thereby not necessary ', and accordingly a risk of burns is also eliminated.

In the drawing, Fig. I shows a front view and Fig. Z shows a plan view.

The device consists of the resilient strong metal band, which is provided on the one hand with a hook for hanging in one of the pot handles c and is placed over the lid b of the pot a and at the other end g in a bearing k a two-armed lever, which one after downwardly directed arm i with hooks ia for hanging in the other pot handle c and an upwardly directed arm with handle h, is pivotably arranged. A second handle f is provided on the metal band e; near the hook d. Both handles are directed vertically in the position of use.

By swiveling the handle h in the direction of the arrow, the hook becomes n unhooked from the handle c, and the device can in addition to the pot a to the both handles k and f can also be lifted and tilted, both handles being easy can be pressed against each other to avoid unwanted unhooking.

The cover can be provided with a known rubber ring seal. To pour out the contents of the pot, it is sufficient to move the lid slightly out of its position of use, so that a certain distance is created between the edge of the pot and the lid. The holding device then still holds the lid securely in place, and the pot can be tilted by the handles h and f , again avoiding contact with overheated parts.

The lid handle L is either offset to the side, or the metal band is provided with a recess in which the lid handle L can be accommodated.
