DESCRIPTION

Support for kitchen utensils.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a support for kitchen utensils, for example, for paellas or paella pan, clay or metal casserole, or other type of utensil used to carry out the cooking of food on fire.

Background of the invention

Normally, when serving or tasting certain dishes, for example, zarzuelas of fish, cooked or paellas, it is common to present them or take them to the table freshly cooked, using clay casseroles or the paella pan or paella where they were cooked.

With a view to avoid directly placing the kitchen utensil on the table, multiple types of supports are used that, to some extent, allow to protect, either from heat and / or from stains of hollln, the table or the tablecloth that covers it . For example, such utensils are usually arranged on esparto stands, pieces of wood, wet buns, plastic rings, etc.

However, said known solutions do not prevent possible burns and / or stains on the hands or arms of the person transporting the kitchen utensil to the table or trying to serve the food for consumption.

On the other hand, at the time of serving the food there is also a risk that said utensil will rotate on itself and cause any of the damage mentioned above.

To avoid the unconditioned rotation of the kitchen utensil on the table some solutions are known, for example, the utility model document ES 1040480U, published on April 16, 1999.

Said document shows a tabletop support for paellas or paelleras comprising a rectangular flat board made of wood or similar material with a non-centered circular hole in which the paella fits while two vertical pivots, located at the top of said board, hold the paella pan when inserting its handle on the outside of said pivots.

The support described above has the disadvantage that it is very bulky and reserves a lot of space on the table, space that is necessary for the placement of other dishes, for example, the plates, glasses and cutlery of each diner.

Another disadvantage of this solution is that, once the paella is placed on the support, its upper edge is exposed and causes possible damage to the hands and arms of the person serving the food.

On the other hand, it can also be mentioned as an inconvenience that, when the paella is inserted in the hole of a board, its lower part is exposed and accelerates the cooling of the food.

Then, kitchen utensils require designing one that overcomes the support for previously mentioned inconveniences, in a simple and economical way.

Description of the invention

In view of the foregoing, the present invention relates to a support for kitchen utensils.

The support is formed circularly with an upper end and a lower end by a base body.

In addition, the support comprises a central recess that extends from the upper end into the circular base body, the dimensions of the central recess corresponding to the outer dimensions of a kitchen utensil.

In this way, once the kitchen utensil is arranged on the upper end of the body that forms the support, said utensil is isolated within said body in an interior space delimited by the central recess.

As can be seen, with the present invention, not only is it possible to avoid damaging the table or tablecloth that covers it, but, since the outer face of the kitchen utensil is not exposed, especially its upper edge, there are no risks of causing burns in the hands or arms of the person serving the food.

Similarly, hollln stains on hands, arms or sleeves of clothing, as well as on the tablecloth covering the table, are avoided.

When the kitchen utensil is completely insulated within the body that conforms to the support, heat loss through the walls of the utensil is hindered, keeping the food hot for a longer time.

Description of the figures

The present specification is complemented, with a set of figures, illustrative of the preferred example and never limiting the invention.

Figure 1 represents a top perspective view showing a support according to the present invention.

Figure 2 represents a top perspective view showing a kitchen utensil arranged on the support of Figure 1.

Figure 3 represents a detail of Figure 1 showing one of the tangential recesses made at the lower end of the body that forms the support.

Detailed exposure of the invention

In view of the foregoing, the present invention relates to a support for kitchen utensils.

As seen in Figure 1, the support is formed by a circular base body (1) with an upper end (1.1) and a lower end (1.2). For example, said body (1) could be configured externally in a cylindrical shape or truncated inverted cone.

The body (1) can be made of different insulating and heat resistant materials, for example, wood, resins, fibers, teflon, cork, polymers, PVC.

Likewise, the body (1) comprises a central recess (1.3) extending from the upper end (1.1) into said body (1).

Preferably, said central recess (1.3) has a truncated inverted cone shape.

Similarly, it is preferred that the central recess (1.3) extends to the lower end (1.2) of the body (1). That is, the central recess (1.3) goes beyond the upper (1.1) and lower (1.2) ends of the body (1).

On the other hand, the dimensions of the central recess (1.1) correspond to the external dimensions of a kitchen utensil (2). That is, the central recess (1.1) is sized in correspondence with any of the standardized sizes of kitchen utensils existing in the market.

As can be seen in figure 2, the kitchen utensil (2) is arranged on the upper end (1.1) of the body (1). In this way, said kitchen utensil (2) is isolated inside the support, that is, inside the body (1) in an interior space (3) delimited by said central recess (1.3).

Preferably, the height of the body (1) is slightly greater than that of the kitchen utensil (2). In this way, the kitchen utensil (2) is arranged inside the body (1) without the bottom of the kitchen utensil (2) making contact with the table or the tablecloth that covers it.

Likewise, on opposite sides of the support, the upper end (1.1) of the body (1) can comprise transverse grooves (1.11) where handles (2.1) of the kitchen utensil (2) fit.

In this way, it is possible to immobilize the kitchen utensil (2) inside the interior space (3) formed by the central recess (1.3), eliminating the involuntary movements of the kitchen utensil (2) that can cause damage to the hands and the arms of the person serving the food.

On the other hand, as can be seen in Figure 3, on opposite sides of the support, the lower end (1.2) of said body (1) can comprise tangential recesses (1.21) that serve as handles.

Thus, the person who is preparing to transport the kitchen utensil (2), already arranged on the body (1), does so easily and safely by inserting their fingers into the tangential recesses (1,121). Said tangential recesses (1,121) do not exceed the wall width of the lower end (1.2) of the body (1), preventing the person's fingers from contacting the hot material of the kitchen utensil (2).
