Definitions
- the present invention relates to the general technical field of cooking food in the presence of steam, and more specifically to the technical field of pressure cookers, such as pressure cookers, which generally include food baskets which are intended to be put in place in the tank of these appliances for cooking food.
- the present invention relates more particularly to a system for receiving food for cooking in the presence of steam, said system comprising on the one hand a substantially rigid basket which is intended to contain food and on the other hand a booster designed to be interposed between a support surface and the basket to maintain the basket remote from the support surface, the basket and the booster being respectively provided with first and second complementary mechanically interacting attachment means for removably securing the booster to the basket .
- the present invention also relates to a pressure cooker comprising firstly a system for receiving food according to the invention and secondly a vessel having a bottom having an outer face intended to be subjected to a heating source and an opposite inner face. located opposite the interior of the tank, said inner face forming a support surface for the booster system according to the invention.
- the invention furthermore relates to:
- a booster designed to be interposed between a support surface and a substantially rigid basket which is intended to contain food for cooking in the presence of steam, in order to keep the basket away from the support surface, a substantially rigid basket which is intended to contain foodstuffs for cooking in the presence of steam,
- a booster designed to be interposed between a support surface and a substantially rigid basket which is intended to contain food for cooking in the presence of steam, to maintain the basket away from the support surface.
- bosses thus form an enhancer that keeps the basket suspended at a predetermined height above the bottom of the tank.
- Such a system if it gives overall satisfaction, however, requires stamping means specific to the tank. Such bosses further affect the overall aesthetics of the tank.
- Another solution is to have in the tank, between the bottom of the latter and the bottom of the basket, a metal tripod which bears against the bottom of the tank, and on which rests the bottom of the cooking basket.
- Such a system gives overall satisfaction, in particular since it is inexpensive to manufacture, and does not affect the aesthetics of the tank.
- such a system allows easy cleaning of each of these components (basket and tripod), including in the dishwasher.
- the booster tripod remains immersed in the residual cooking water, at the end of the cooking cycle, once the user has removed the basket from the tank. The user must then recover somehow the tripod while the latter is at least partially immersed in hot liquid, which of course causes an inconvenience, if not a danger, for the user. Even if it could be recovered, the tripod booster can anyway be used immediately, because it is still burning. This prohibits easy use of the tripod immediately after the cooking cycle, such as rack support during a drip operation for example. In addition, the booster tripod can easily be lost by the user.

- the system 1 for accommodating food (not shown) for cooking in the presence of steam according to the invention is intended to be used and arranged in a food cooking appliance (not shown).
- the system 1 according to the invention is intended to be used and placed in a pressurized food cooking appliance, such as a pressure cooker, whether it be a pressure cooker with a stirrup, with a jaw , bayonet or manhole, without this list being considered as limiting. It remains conceivable, however, that the system 1 according to the invention is used in conjunction with an atmospheric pressure cooking apparatus.
- the system 1 comprises a basket 2 which is intended to contain the food to be cooked in the presence of steam, and preferably under pressure.
- the basket 2 is substantially rigid, that is to say that it has a clean mechanical strength which gives it a predetermined stable shape. Thanks to its rigid nature, the basket 2 is more hygienic because it is easier to clean. It also has a significant life, especially with respect to a mesh type basket "mesh" which is relatively more fragile.
- the rigid nature of the basket 2 makes it possible to better control the heat exchange between the food and the steam, and thus to control more finely the cooking time and the level of preservation of the vitamins, by playing in particular on the rate perforation of the basket.
- the basket 2 according to the embodiment of FIG. 5 makes it possible, thanks to its high rate of perforations and its substantially vapor-proof bottom, to optimize the preservation of the vitamins and the cooking time. From this point of view, the basket of Figures 1 and 4 gives less interesting results.
- a cooking basket 2 advantageously made in the form of a basket of circular shape, without this form being limiting, the food baskets according to the invention being able to on the contrary present any shape other than circular, and for example rectangular, square or other, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the basket 2 food cooking illustrated in the figures advantageously comprises a bottom 2A from which rises a side wall 2B.
- the side wall 2B thus defines a free edge 2C, which presents in this case a circular shape and defines a feed introduction opening in the basket 2.
- the basket 2 according to the invention is intended for the pressure cooking in a pressure cooker and is formed by a sheet of a rigid material defining the bottom 2A and the side wall 2B, said sheet being provided with perforations arranged on the bottom 2A (variant of Figures 1 and 4) and / or on the side wall 2B (variant of Figure 5) to let the steam within the food in the basket.
- the rigid material may be based on any material likely to withstand permanently and continuously for use in a pressure cooker requiring food contact, successive and repeated cleaning phases and phases of temperature rise and in pressure.
- the sheet of rigid material will be metallic, for example stainless steel, it being understood however that other materials, and in particular plastic materials, may be envisaged.
- the perforations can be made through the sheet before or after the stamping.
- the system 1 further comprises a booster 3, various embodiments of which are illustrated in Figures 7 to 10.
- the booster 3 is designed to be interposed between a support surface, preferably flat, such as the bottom of a pressure cooker tank, and the basket 2, in order to keep the basket 2 away from the support surface.
- the booster 3, whose main function (raising the basket 2) is well known as such, thus makes it possible to form a base for the basket 2 raising the latter to avoid for example that the food in the basket 2 does not are more or less immersed in a cooking liquid.
- the booster 3 is thus intended to rest on the support surface while supporting the basket 2, the latter resting itself on the support surface via the booster 3.
- the booster 3 is designed to maintain stable the basket according to a predetermined raised position.
- the booster 3 makes it possible to keep the bottom 2A of the basket 2 flat, that is to say to horizontal, parallel to the bottom of the pressure cooker tank in which the system 1 is. intended to be installed.
- the basket 2 is the booster 3 are respectively provided with first and second fastening means 4, 5 complementary, to removably secure the booster 3 to the basket 2.
- first and second means of 4, 5 are designed to realize when they cooperate a subjection of the booster 3 to the basket 2, this subjection being reversible, that is to say that it is possible for the user to stop at any time the cooperation between the first and second attachment means 4, 5 to make the basket 2 and the booster seat 3 independent.
- the first and second attachment means 4, 5 interact mechanically to removably fasten the booster 3 to the basket 2
- the user can easily recover the booster 3 even when the latter is immersed in cooking liquid, by entering only the basket 2 which will carry with it the booster 3 attached to it.
- the user will still be able to detach the booster 3 from the basket 2, thanks to the removable nature of the fastening achieved by the cooperation of the first and second fastening means 4, 5, which facilitates the cleaning operations. and storage system 1.
- the first and second attachment means 4, 5 are designed to allow a user to attach or detach the booster 3 to the basket 2 in a purely manual manner, without the help of additional tools.
- the basket 2 and the booster 3 are attached using a purely mechanical assembly, by cooperation of complementary shapes.
- the mechanical interaction between the first and second attachment means 4, 5 implements an elastic deformation of one and / or the other of the first and second attachment means 4, 5 so that this elastic deformation generates back a force (hereinafter referred to as a reaction force) contributing to the attachment of the booster 3 on the basket 2, as will be explained in more detail in the following.
- the mechanical interaction between the first and second attachment means 4, 5 is based on a permanent elastic deformation of one and / or the other of the first and second attachment means 4, 5 , this, permanent elastic deformation producing by elastic return a force (the aforementioned reaction force) which is exercised permanently to maintain assembly, preferably without any degree of freedom, the basket 2 and the booster 3.
- the permanent elastic deformation of one and / or the other of the first and second attachment means 4, 5 caused by the cooperation of said first and second attachment means 4, 5, thus generates by elastic return of the deformed part (ie the first and / or the second attachment means) a holding force in position (the force of feedback) dju booster 3 relative to basket 2.
- the mechanical interaction between the first and second attachment means 4, 5 thus corresponds to a force coupling, which relies on a permanent elastic deformation of the first and / or second means d
- said mechanical interaction between the first and second attachment means 4, 5 advantageously implements an elastic deformation of the booster 3, so that the latter exerts permanently on the basket 2, by elastic return, a biocage force (corresponding to the aforementioned reaction force).
- first and second attachment means 4, 5 to use other than mechanical means, for example they interact not only mechanically as explained above, but also magnetically to detachably connect the booster 3 to the basket 2.
- the use of a purely mechanical interaction is however preferred for reasons of simplicity, reliability, robustness and cost.
- the first and second attachment means 4, 5 make it possible to detach the booster 3 removably from the basket 2 by generating a nesting connection between the basket 2 and the booster seat 3.
- the mechanical connection between the basket 2 and the booster 3 while being removable, leaves substantially no degree of freedom between the basket 2 and the booster 3.
- Such a rigid connection provides better comfort and safety of use, substantially avoiding any movement between the basket 2 and the booster 3 likely to cause for example an accidental rollover basket 2 and its possible content. It remains possible, however, in alternative embodiments, that the mechanical connection made by the first and second attachment means 4, 5 between the basket 2 and the booster 3 allow a certain relative mobility of the. basket 2 and booster 3, even if a te! embodiment is not necessarily sought for the reasons explained above.
- the second attachment means 5 is designed to evolve by elastic return between a first configuration allowing the matching of the first and second attachment means 4, 5 and a second configuration allowing interlocking of the first and second means. 4, 5, said second configuration corresponding to a state of intermediate deformation between the first configuration and a rest configuration (which is a return configuration) that said second attachment means 5 naturally adopts in the absence of constraint mechanical.
- the second attachment means 5 is designed to be able to reach, and be maintained in, its first configuration, from its rest configuration, under the effect of a manual exertion by a user.
- the second attachment means 5 adopts a geometry allowing its matching ( Figure 11, thumbnail 1) with the first attachment means 4, then, when the user stops his solicitation, relaxes in his second configuration, in which it constantly exerts a holding force on the basket 2, and more specifically on the first attachment means 4.
- the first attachment means 4 provided with the basket 2 comprises a female member 6 while the second attachment means 5 comprises a male member 7, the male member 7 being intended to be at least partially inserted in the female member 6 to detachably connect the booster 3 to the basket 2.
- the use of female 6 and male 7 is an extremely simple and inexpensive way to implement, especially by providing that the organ female 6 is associated with the basket 2 while the male member 7 is associated with the booster seat 3.
- the manufacturing method of the basket 2 is particularly suitable for producing a female member, while the Inversely, the manufacturing process of the booster 3 lends itself more naturally to the production of a male organ. It remains however possible, alternatively, that the basket 2 is provided with the male member, while the booster 3 is provided with the female member.
- the male member 7 is designed to evolve by elastic return between said first configuration allowing the insertion of the male member 7 in the female member 6 and said second configuration (illustrated in Figures 1 to 3) allowing a
- the male member 7 is designed to be elastically deformable into its first configuration which allows its insertion into the female member 6, then to adopt, by return elastic from its first configuration, a second configuration causing a locking position of the male member 7 relative to the female member 6, as shown in Figures 1 to 3.
- the male member 7 has, in the absence of external stress, a rest configuration.
- the user by applying (preferably manually as illustrated in the first vignette of FIG. 11) a mechanical stress, can force the male member 7 to adopt its first configuration which allows its insertion, at least in part, into the female member 6.
- a mechanical stress can force the male member 7 to adopt its first configuration which allows its insertion, at least in part, into the female member 6.
- the user releases its stress which allows the male member 7 to be resiliently biased back to its rest configuration that it can reach (in which case the rest configuration corresponds to the second configuration) is not reached, being blocked in its return stroke by the female member 6 (in which case the second configuration corresponds to an intermediate configuration between the first configuration and the rest configuration).
- This second alternative (according to which the second configuration corresponds to a state of intermediate deformation between the first configuration and the rest configuration) is preferred because it thus enables the booster 3 to permanently exert a locking force on the basket 2. , corresponding to the elastic return force of the male member 7 in its rest configuration which it can not reach because of its abutment against the female member 6.
- the female member 6 comprises at least a first orifice 6A and a second orifice 6B formed through the basket 2, preferably through the bottom 2A of the basket 2.
- the first and second second orifices 6A, 6B are formed through the entire thickness of the basket 2, so as to form openings opening.
- Such orifices are preferred because they are easy and inexpensive to make. They are also accessible from the inside of the basket 2, which can be used to removably fix inside the basket 2, cooking accessories (ramekins, etc.).
- first and second orifices 6A, 6B are in this case advantageously designed to cooperate with the booster 3 to attach the latter to the outer face of the bottom 2A and / or with an accessory (not shown) to attach the latter on the face internal bottom 2A basket.
- first and second orifices 6A, 6B are constituted by blind holes, or even simple concavities, without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the first and second orifices 6A, 6B are advantageously arranged symmetrically relative to the overall symmetry axis of the basket 2, which axis of symmetry is perpendicular to the bottom 2A and passes through the center of the latter.
- the male member 7 comprises meanwhile at least a first branch 7A and a second branch 7B respectively provided with a first protuberance 8 and a second protuberance 9, it being understood that a greater number of branches and / or protuberances is quite conceivable without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the booster 3 comprises a male member 7 provided with two branches 7A, 7B each bearing two protuberances respectively designated by the numbers 8 and 10 on the one hand and 9 and 1 1 on the other hand go.
- the term "branch” here means an elongated element, of the rod, wire or ribbon type.
- the branches 7A, 7B thus consist of a wire
- the branches 7A, 7B consist of a metal ribbon.
- the first and second branches 7A, 7B are designed to be mutually close together, under the effect of a stress F exerted by the user, preferably manually direct (ie without tools), to a first relative position, corresponding to . the first aforementioned configuration, which allows the insertion, at least partially, of the first and second protuberances 8, 9 in the first and second orifices 6A, 6B respectively.
- the branches 7A, 7B are connected for example to each other by a flexible element 12 forming elastic hinge.
- the flexible element 12 forming elastic hinge comes from material with the first and second branches 7A, 7B,. who are thus formed a single piece of a single piece of metal, for example stainless steel.
- the first and second branches 7A, 7B extend, thus along a generally U-shaped or V-shaped profile, the legs of the U (or V) respectively corresponding to the first and second branches 7A, 7B while the U core ( or the tip of V) corresponds to the flexible element 12 forming elastic hinge. It is sufficient for the user to exert a force of approximation of the free ends of the first and second branches 7A, 7B to move elastically closer to the first relative position referred to above.
- the branches 7A, 7B are designed to move apart by elastic return in the absence of stress exerted by the user (removal of the manual stress F) to a second relative position (illustrated in Figures 1 to 3 ) corresponding to the second configuration, wherein the first and second branches 7A, 7B exert on the basket 2, through the protuberances 8, 9, a locking force of the protuberances 8, 9 in the respective orifices 6A, 6B.
- the blocking force is induced by the elastic return of the branches 7A, 7B towards their rest configuration, which they adopt naturally in the absence of mechanical stress.
- This blocking force is therefore of identical direction to the stress F but is exercised in an opposite direction since it tends to mutually separate the first and second branches 7A, 7B.
- This spreading force is exerted permanently on the edges 60A, 60B of the orifices 6A, 6B, which are preferably formed through the bottom 2A diametrically opposite. Thanks to this permanent locking force, which is exerted on each branch 7A, 7B centrifugally in the plane of the bottom 2A, the protuberances 8, 9 are forcibly locked in the corresponding orifices 6A, 6B, which ensures that the basket 2 to the booster seat 3.
- the first branch 7A and preferably each branch 7A, 7B, comprises a curved section 13, 14 defining both a bump forming the first protrusion 8 (respectively the second protrusion 9) and an opposite recess 15, 16.
- the curved section 13, 14 thus advantageously corresponds to a corrugation of the corresponding branch 7A, 7B, which adopts the sinuous profile illustrated in FIGS. 2, 7 and 9.
- the external face of the curved section 13, 14, that is to say the face facing upwards when the riser 3 is in a functional position, thus forming the aforementioned hump while the opposite inner face, facing downwardly when the booster 3 is in the operative position, constitutes a concavity corresponding to the recesses 15, 16 mentioned above.
- At least the first orifice 6A, and preferably each orifice 6A, 6B is delimited by an edge 60A, 60B which locally formed an outgrowth 600A, 600B, said protuberance 600A, 600B being intended to be housed in the recess 15, 16 defines by the curved section 13, 14 when the first and second legs 7A, 7B are in their second relative position described above.
- This technical measure makes it possible to block the booster 3 relative to the basket 2 in the vertical direction, preventing any separation of the basket 2 and the booster 3, as long as the user does not exert sufficient stress F to bring back the first and second branches 7A , 7B in their first relative position, which allows free movement of the first and second protuberances 8, 9 in the corresponding orifices 6A, 6B.
- each curved section 13, 14 have a substantially rounded shape, corresponding to an arc of a circle or close to an arc.
- each orifice 6A, 6B is advantageously in the form of two substantially circular holes connected laterally by a central hole of reduced section, the single overall orifice resulting from the combination of these three holes having substantially bilobed shape, as shown in Figure 6.

- The. free ends of each semicircular section 21, 22 are themselves connected to each other via a curved section 23 directed towards the inside of the orifice 6A, towards the section rectilinear 20, said section 23 forming the protrusion 600A.
- the booster 3 advantageously comprises at least three feet 16, 17, 18 or more (for example the embodiment of FIG. 9 comprises four legs 16, 17, 18, 19). Said feet 16, 17, 18, 19 are intended to come to rest on the support surface (for example the bottom of a pressure cooker) to support the basket 2 in a stable, isostatic manner on the support surface in question.
- at least two feet 17, 18 are secured respectively to the first and second legs 7A, 7B, the feet 17, 18 in question being preferably positioned towards or at the end of the branch concerned 7A, 7B. Thanks to this technical measure, the feet 17, 18 in question can be used by the user to apply the manual stress F of approximation of the branches 7A, 7B.
- the feet 17, 18 thus provide a dual function consisting on the one hand in elevating the basket 2, and on the other hand in enabling the user to easily apply a compressive stress on the branches 7A, 7B (as illustrated by FIG. the first sticker of Figure 11) to secure the booster 3 to basket 2.
- the third leg 16 is positioned at the hinge member 12.
- the first and second branches 7A, 7B are made by a single piece of wire which is folded to form on the one hand the protuberances 8, 9 and on the other hand the feet 16, 17, 18, 19 intended to bear on the support surface.

- Such booster 3, variants of which are illustrated in Figures 7 and 9, has an extremely low cost, and uses a minimum of material.
- the invention also relates as such to a method of manufacturing a booster 3 designed to be interposed between a support surface and a substantially rigid basket 2, which is intended to contain food for cooking in the presence of of steam, in order to keep the basket 2 away from the support surface.
- the method according to the invention comprises a step of producing a second fastening means 5 in which the booster 3 is provided with a second fastening means 5 which is complementary to a first attachment means 4 of which is provided the basket 2, said first and second fastening means 4, 5 complementary to detachably connect the booster 3 basket 2, as explained in detail in the above.
- the manufacturing method according to the invention thus allows to obtain a booster 3 according to the foregoing description.
- the step of producing the second attachment means 5 preferably includes a deformation of a fi!
- first branch TA itself comprising a curved section 14 defining a bump rising in a first main direction of extension and feet 16, 17, 18, 19 intended to rest on the support surface, said feet 16, 17, 18, 19 rising in a second main direction of extension which differs from the first main direction of extension, said first and second directions being preferably opposite as illustrated in the figures.
- the invention naturally relates as such to a booster 3, preferably in one piece, designed to be interposed between a support surface and a basket 2 substantially rigid which is intended to contain food for cooking in the presence of steam, to maintain the. basket 2 away from the surface. of support.
- said booster 3 is provided with a second attachment means 5 which is complementary to a first attachment means 4 which is provided with the basket 2, said first and second complementary means of fasteners 4, 5 interacting mechanically to removably fasten the booster 3 to the basket 2.
- the booster 3 comprises at least a first and a second branch 7A, 7B designed on the one hand to be mutually close (or mutually separated), under the effect of a constraint exerted by a user ur, up to a first relative position, and secondly move away (respectively approach) mutually by elastic return in the absence of stress exerted by the user, to a second relative position in which they exert on the basket 2 a locking force corresponding to said force contributing to the attachment of the booster 3 on the basket 2.
- the embodiment illustrated in Figure 7 is particularly advantageous because of its simplicity and its low cost.
- This embodiment consists of a fi! metal which is bent in the middle in a U-shape to form a first foot 16.
