Description

Junta para tapas de recipientes de cocina. Gasket for lids of kitchen containers.

Objeto de la invención. Object of the invention.

La presente invención se refiere a una junta para tapas de recipientes de cocina, destinada a acoplarse sobre el borde perimetral de la tapa del recipiente, conformando una superficie inferior para el apoyo sobre la superficie superior de la boca del recipiente en cuestión. The present invention relates to a gasket for lids of kitchen containers, intended to be coupled on the perimeter edge of the lid of the container, forming a lower surface for support on the upper surface of the mouth of the container in question.

Campo de aplicación de la invención. Field of application of the invention.

Esta invención es aplicable en la fabricación de utensilios de cocina y más concretamente de juntas para tapas de recipientes de cocina. This invention is applicable in the manufacture of kitchen utensils and more specifically of gaskets for lids of kitchen containers.

Background of the invention.

Actualmente son conocidas diferentes juntas para tapas de recipientes de cocina, conformadas en un material flexible y resistente al calor, siendo la misión de estas juntas absorber las posibles irregularidades existentes en el borde perimetral de la tapa o en la boca del recipiente, mejorando el asentamiento y estanqueidad del cierre de la tapa respecto a la boca del recipiente. Currently, different gaskets are known for lids of kitchen containers, formed of a flexible and heat-resistant material, the mission of these joints being to absorb the possible irregularities existing in the perimeter edge of the lid or in the mouth of the container, improving the settlement and tightness of the lid closure with respect to the mouth of the container.

En algunos casos estas juntas presentan una configuración anular de sección cilíndrica y dimensiones adecuadas para alojarse en un rebaje definido en el contorno de la tapa y orientado convenientemente para que dicha junta contacte en la posición de cierre con la boca del recipiente correspondiente. In some cases, these joints have an annular configuration of cylindrical section and dimensions suitable for being housed in a recess defined in the contour of the lid and conveniently oriented so that said joint contacts in the closed position with the mouth of the corresponding container.

También son ampliamente conocidas las juntas para recipientes de cocina que presentan una configuración anular de sección transversal en “C”, definiendo un labio superior y un labio inferior destinados a abrazar, por encima y por debajo, el borde perimetral de la tapa. Gaskets for kitchen containers that have an annular configuration of "C" cross-section are also widely known, defining an upper lip and a lower lip intended to embrace, above and below, the perimeter edge of the lid.

Este tipo de juntas se apoya simplemente con su labio inferior sobre la boca del recipiente. En este caso es habitual que tanto la tapa como la junta carezcan de medios de centrado respecto a la boca del recipiente, lo que no impide que la tapa se desplace lateralmente cuando se eleva ligeramente por la presión del vapor generado en el interior de la olla al encontrarse ésta cerrada por la tapa portadora de la junta en cuestión. This type of joints is simply supported with its lower lip over the mouth of the container. In this case it is usual that both the lid and the gasket lack centering means with respect to the mouth of the container, which does not prevent the lid from moving laterally when it is slightly raised by the pressure of the steam generated inside the pot when it is closed by the carrier cover of the joint in question.

También es conocida por el modelo de utilidad ES1070575U, con número de solicitud U200901103, una junta para tapadera de recipientes de cocina que, siendo de las mencionadas anteriormente de configuración anular y sección transversal en “C”, presenta la particularidad de que el labio inferior se prolonga hacia abajo formando un escalón angular periférico abierto hacia abajo y hacia afuera de forma que dicho escalón se asienta por una parte sobre la boca del recipiente y se introduce por otra parte en la boca de dicho recipiente proporcionando una hermeticidad adicional respecto a las juntas anulares de sección en “C” comentadas anteriormente. It is also known by the utility model ES1070575U, with application number U200901103, a gasket for lid of kitchen containers which, being of the aforementioned annular configuration and cross section in "C", has the peculiarity that the lower lip it extends downwards forming an open peripheral angular step downwards and outwards so that said step sits on one side over the mouth of the container and is introduced on the other side into the mouth of said container providing additional tightness with respect to the joints annular section in "C" discussed above.

Generalmente estas juntas se montan en la tapa correspondiente y se fijan a la misma mediante un tipo de adhesivo, por lo que no tienen un carácter desmontable; esto plantea problemas higiénicos al acumularse la suciedad en las zonas de confluencia de extremos de los labios con la tapa, habida cuenta de la junta no puede desmontarse para realizar una limpieza efectiva de la misma. Generally these joints are mounted on the corresponding cover and fixed thereto by means of a type of adhesive, so they do not have a removable character; This raises hygienic problems when dirt accumulates in the confluence areas of the ends of the lips with the lid, in view of the joint can not be disassembled to effectively clean it.

Descripción de la invención Description of the invention

La junta para tapas de recipiente de cocina objeto de esta invención es del tipo mencionado anteriormente y que comprende un cuerpo anular de sección en “C” provista de un labio superior y un labio inferior que abrazan superior e inferiormente el borde perimetral de la tapa estableciendo únicamente el cierre del recipiente mediante el apoyo del labio inferior de la junta sobre el extremo superior de la boca del recipiente. The gasket for cooking container lids object of this invention is of the type mentioned above and comprising an annular body of section "C" provided with an upper lip and a lower lip that upper and lower embrace the perimeter edge of the lid establishing Only the closure of the container by supporting the lower lip of the seal on the upper end of the mouth of the container.

Esta junta presenta la particularidad de comprender en su labio inferior un número limitado de tetones, comprendidos preferiblemente entre tres y ocho distribuidos en el contorno interior del labio inferior de la junta y que sobresalen inferiormente de un plano de cierre definido por dicho labio inferior; conformando dichos tetones unos medios para el centrado de la tapa portadora de dicha junta respecto a la boca del correspondiente recipiente de cocina. This joint has the particularity of comprising in its lower lip a limited number of lugs, preferably comprised between three and eight distributed in the inner contour of the lower lip of the joint and protruding inferiorly from a closure plane defined by said lower lip; said lugs forming means for centering the carrier cover of said gasket with respect to the mouth of the corresponding kitchen container.

Dichos tetones se encuentran distanciados entre sí, presentando la junta entre tetones consecutivos unos huecos adecuados para conformar unas salidas de vapor cuando la tapa se eleva ligeramente por efecto de la presión de vapor generada en el interior del recipiente durante la cocción de alimentos y el labio inferior se separa ligeramente de la superficie de la boca del recipiente; evitando dichos tetones en las mencionadas condiciones el descentrado de la tapa respecto al recipiente de cocina. Said lugs are spaced apart from each other, the joint between consecutive lugs having suitable gaps for forming steam outlets when the lid rises slightly due to the steam pressure generated inside the container during cooking of food and the lip lower separates slightly from the surface of the mouth of the container; avoiding said lugs in the aforementioned conditions the offset of the lid with respect to the kitchen container.

Según la invención esta junta presenta unas dimensiones adecuadas para su montaje, desmontaje, retención sobre el contorno de la tapa correspondiente únicamente mediante deformación elástica. According to the invention, this joint has dimensions suitable for assembly, disassembly, retention on the contour of the corresponding cover only by elastic deformation.

Esta característica proporciona a la junta un carácter desmontable, con el fin de facilitar las tareas de limpieza, tanto de la junta como del contorno de la tapa, y garantizar unas condiciones higiénicas adecuadas durante su utilización. This feature gives the joint a removable character, in order to facilitate cleaning tasks, both of the joint and the contour of the lid, and ensure adequate hygienic conditions during use.
