OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to a kitchen utensil, which contributes to the function to which it is intended, advantages and characteristics, which will be described in detail below, which represent a novelty in The current state of the art.

More particularly, the object of the invention focuses on a kitchen utensil that, intended for use in professional hospitality establishments as well as in the home, is designed, essentially, to be able to move a paella or other container to serve food from the kitchen to the table without burning when transporting it serving as a stand holder, which, thanks to its extensible structural configuration, allows its adaptation to different sizes of paella or container.

FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

The field of application of the present invention is part of the industry sector dedicated to the manufacture of kitchenware and utensils, particularly focusing on the scope of those intended to transport hot containers without burning.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As is known, paella is a typical dish from certain regions of Spain that is served in a container also called paella, which consists of a kind of iron pan that has a circular shape and two handles at diametrically opposite points. The problem with this dish is that it is served very hot and, in addition, the handles and the edges of the paella tend to blink when they have been in direct contact with the fire, especially when they have been made to the wood. Therefore, different types of supports or table mats are used to serve the paella that keep the paella separate from direct contact with the table.

These supports, however, or consist of structures formed by an iron hoop with long legs on which the paella is placed, being quite high on the table surface, so that they take up a lot of space and are very heavy hulks which are usually only used in hospitality establishments, but they are not aesthetically beautiful or functionally practical, or they consist of conventional tabletop holders that are placed flush with the table surface, with which the problem is usually that the paella does not remain well held, because it is usually combined by its central part, which, when deposited on a flat surface, when the serving spoon is placed, the paella rotates and moves so that it is very uncomfortable to serve it without holding it with the other hand, which, on the other hand, should be done with care not to burn, because the handles, which are also metallic, are usually very hot when serving the paella.

To solve this problem, the applicant himself is the owner of a Utility Model that, with application number U201530746, discloses a multipurpose kitchen utensil that, in addition to solving the noted problems, allows it to be used on other occasions, in addition to when the Paella. Said utensil, however, although it satisfactorily solves the objectives pursued, presents certain aspects that can be improved, especially the lack of adaptability to different paella sizes, so it must be manufactured in different sizes, according to the dimensions of the paellas that are marketed according to the number of diners to which they are destined.

Therefore, the objective of the present invention is the development of an improved utensil that, also intended to be able to transport paellas or other hot containers without burning, serving at the same time as a support to place it on the table, allow its use with different sizes of paellas or containers.

On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, at least by the applicant, the existence of any other kitchen utensil or similar invention that presents technical, structural and constitutive characteristics similar to which is presented here, as claimed.

Specifically, the kitchen utensil that the invention proposes, as mentioned above, is applicable both for use in professional hospitality establishments and in particular in the home, is designed with the purpose of allowing to move a paella or other container to serve food without burning when transporting it, usually from the kitchen to the table, serving at the same time as a stand holder to deposit it on the table, distinguishing itself by having an extensible structural configuration that, advantageously, allows its adaptation for different paella sizes or container.

To do this, the utensil is configured essentially from a flat base, to which a series of perimeter legs are attached, which keep the base slightly elevated on the surface on which it is deposited, and handles lateral and extensible that emerge from diametrically opposite points of the base extending divergently towards the top thereof, such that, the paella or container to be transported, is placed on the flat base being housed between both handles, with which It may or may not match the handles of the paella or container, and in any case, they can be extended more or less to adapt to the diameter of the paella or container to be transported.

Preferably, the flat base is formed by a spiral metal rod that defines a circular platform and, also preferably, the extendable handles are formed by respective angled and U-shaped rods, the ends of which are coupled to the base inserted in hollow tubes provided for the effect on the lower surface of the flat base, so that they can slide through it, by pressing or pulling them, to adjust the portion thereof that is inserted into said tubes and, consequently, the portion that protrudes through each side of the flat base to adapt to the dimensions of the paella or container to be transported.

Logically, the utensil is made of a heat resistant material, said material being preferably stainless steel.
