Description

PROTECTIVE COVER FOR KITCHEN HOBS OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención se refiere a una funda protectora para encimeras de cocina, y mas concretamente a una funda que protege a la encimera de una cocina contra salpicaduras que se originan durante las fases de cocinado, protegiendo igualmente la pared frontal a la encimera. The present invention relates to a protective cover for kitchen countertops, and more specifically to a cover that protects the kitchen countertop against splashes that originate during the cooking phases, also protecting the front wall from the countertop.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Es evidente que la operación de cocinar conlleva salpicaduras que alcanzan la pared del fondo donde está situada la correspondiente vitrocerámica o cocina de gas en su caso, y la propia encimera alrededor de la citada vitrocerámica o cocina de gas. It is evident that the cooking operation involves splashes that reach the bottom wall where the corresponding ceramic hob or gas cooker is located where appropriate, and the countertop itself around the aforementioned hob or gas cooker.

Indudablemente, cada vez que se termina la operación de cocinado, es necesario llevar a cabo una limpieza para evitar que la grasa y suciedad se vaya acumulando. Undoubtedly, each time the cooking operation is finished, it is necessary to carry out a cleaning to prevent grease and dirt from accumulating.

No se conocen medios ni sistemas que permitan proteger contra las salpicaduras tanto la encimera como la pared del fondo durante la operación de cocinado. There are no known means or systems that allow both the countertop and the back wall to be protected from splashing during the cooking operation.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

La funda que se preconiza ha sido concebida para resolver la problemática anteriormente expuesta, en base a una solución sencilla pero eficaz. The cover that has been recommended has been conceived to solve the problem described above, based on a simple but effective solution.

Mas concretamente, la funda de la invención está constituida por un cuerpo laminar, preferentemente rectangular, que puede ser de tela, tela plastificada, cartón, plástico o similar, de manera tal que esa funda o tela estará preferentemente afectada de una abertura que se corresponderá con la amplitud de la vitrocerámica, o en su caso con la cocina de gas, estando dicha funda determinada por dos partes, una que ha de quedar situada apoyada sobre la propia encimera, y otra que ha de quedar situada sobre la pared del fondo, protegiendo a ésta. More specifically, the cover of the invention is constituted by a laminar body, preferably rectangular, which can be made of cloth, plasticized cloth, cardboard, plastic or the like, such that that cover or cloth will preferably be affected by an opening that will correspond with the breadth of the ceramic hob, or in its case with the gas cooker, said cover being determined by two parts, one that must be placed supported on the countertop itself, and another that must be located on the bottom wall, Protecting this one.

En la cara posterior de la comentada funda, se incluirán medios de fijación o de adherencia sobre la encimera o sobre la propia pare, al objeto de inmovilizar la funda durante el cocinado. On the rear face of the aforementioned cover, fixing or adhesion means will be included on the countertop or on the stand itself, in order to immobilize the cover during cooking.

La funda puede reutilizarse, aunque será preferentemente de un solo uso, es decir de usar y tirar. The cover can be reused, although it will preferably be single-use, that is to say use and throw.

Por otra parte se ha previsto que la parte de cubrición de la encimera, en lugar de tener la abertura para la vitrocerámica, puede carecer de esa abertura o materializarse dicha abertura por una porción de un material ignífugo, que podría situarse sobre la propia vitrocerámica y permitir el calentamiento de platos con la totalidad de la funda, cubriendo no solamente la encimera y la pared del fondo, sino también la vitrocerámica. On the other hand, it is envisioned that the covering part of the countertop, instead of having the opening for the ceramic hob, may lack that opening or materialize said opening by a portion of a flame retardant material, which could be placed on the ceramic hob itself and allow the heating of dishes with the entire cover, covering not only the countertop and the bottom wall, but also the ceramic hob.

Evidentemente la funda podrá tener mayor o menor amplitud, dependiendo de la superficie que se quiera cubrir, tanto de la pared como de la propia encimera, e igualmente podrá estar materializada en uno u otro tipo de material y ser reutilizable como se decía con anterioridad, o ser de usar y tirar, y en cualquier caso se comercializará perfectamente plegada, bien en una funda, bien en rollo, etc. Obviously, the cover may have a greater or lesser extent, depending on the surface you want to cover, both the wall and the countertop itself, and it may also be materialized in one or another type of material and be reusable as previously stated, or be of use and throw, and in any case it will be marketed perfectly folded, either in a cover, well in roll, etc.
