Description

DESCRIPTION

COMPARTMENT COOKING VESSEL

Technical sector

Intended for the industrial sector dedicated to the manufacture of food cooking containers.

Background

Different containers used in cooking food are known that allow cooking these by separating their ingredients. Thus, for example, the utility model U1040260 of the applicant Valentín Uribesalgo San Martín describes the compartmentalization of a container creating different receptacles that can be optionally closed with individualized lids; In these watertight receptacles, therefore, there is no communication with the cooking liquid. Another example of compartmentalisation can be seen in the Korean document KR20110000187U, the sealing of which derives from the use of silicone gaskets. On the other hand, there are inventions in which food is cooked through the use of different perforated compartments located one above the other, between which the vapors of the pot that contains them circulate. This typology can be seen in the document U262224 of the applicant Rudh Ibérica S.A .: the extraction of one of the trays must be carried out in order, necessarily. Similarly, it can be seen in the utility model U201031282 of the applicant FAGOR, S.COOP.

Closer to the object of the invention, utility model U1102505 of the owner Marina Chillón Moya describes a modular basket that allows food to be separated during cooking and whose extraction is carried out jointly, since the containers are on the same base. , which is extracted by means of a central axis fixed to it and finished off at its other end by means of a screw-on handle; This makes it difficult to use in practice, especially in large pots, as it requires lifting this set with the consequent danger derived from its excessive weight; in addition, the extraction when the containers have different content can cause the rocking of the whole. The extraction by means of a shaft connected to a support base, as well as a clamping element below the handle, is also covered by patent GB648039A of the holder NAT PRESSURE COOKER CO.

Therefore, there are no known inventions that advantageously solve the technical problem such as the invention advocated, allowing the safe insertion and extraction of each of the inner containers separately, as well as the use in the same cooking container of compartments that are communicated or not. , or others for steam cooking.

Object

Provide means for cooking in a conventional container being able to introduce or extract therein, individually, different inner containers.

Allow both joint cooking by sharing the recipe fluids in their containers, as well as allowing sealing between the containers or their use for steaming, either of which can be used at the same time.

Provide safe means of handling containers, especially during extraction.

The present invention provides a technical solution that enables the cooking of different foods, being able to separate the ingredients of one or more recipes in different inner containers that can be incorporated or removed at will at any time from the interior of a conventional cooking container. This opens up new possibilities in kitchens, maximizing control of the cooking of a recipe and, on the other hand, improving efficiency in terms of energy by being able to take advantage of the same cooking container and thermal source.

For this, the proposed invention comprises different inner containers and means for their individualized placement and removal in a safe way. In this way, it presents a bar-like element that emerges centered from the base of a conventional cooking container, this element can be fixed integrally to this container or be removable for which it presents a support on its base to provide it with the necessary stability. The bar of said support has at least one prismatic longitudinal groove that cooperates in a complementary manner with a longitudinal retention element located in the inner container, in such a way that its insertion and removal is guided by this translation torque.

The inner containers have a prismatic geometry whose base is a circular sector and have a longitudinal element at the vertex formed by their flat faces that forms the retaining element of the described container. These containers can be made of any material that, due to its use, can withstand the usual cooking temperatures, although stainless steel is preferably used for its benefits.

It has means to: either share the cooking liquids between the inner containers, to cook them in a watertight manner, steam or any combination of them, by presenting the inner containers respectively, or walls and base with a plurality of holes , walls and base formed without holes, or in the case of steam cooking, of a container that has holes in its surface and that is raised from the base of the cooking container by means of a structure.

The placement and extraction of the different inner containers is carried out by means of the cooperation of a handle, which has at its ends two hooks that are inserted in at least two projections in the form of rings present in each inner container.

Brief description of the drawings

For a better understanding of what is described in the present specification, some drawings are attached in which, by way of example, a list of the figures of the proposed invention is represented.

Figure 1 shows a cooking container in which the retention bar (1) of the inner containers can be seen.

Figure 2 shows detail A of the previous figure in which the prismatic grooves that cooperate with the inner containers for their retention can be seen.

Figure 3 shows an embodiment in which the container retention bar (1) has a support (2) for its location in a conventional cooking container.

Figure 5 shows a handle (7) to be able to place and extract the inner containers by means of their hooks (6 ').

Figures 6 and 7 show other types of inner containers where (4) is a container without a grid and (5) is a raised grid container.

Figure 8 shows the cooking container with one of its inner containers, in this case a grid, being inserted or extracted guided by its retaining bar and its complementary retaining element.

Figure 9 shows a top view of a cooking container in which four inner containers are installed without their corresponding handles, with a free portion remaining in its lower quadrant.

Preferred embodiment

A preferred embodiment is cited by way of example, the materials used in its manufacture being independent of the object of the invention, as well as the application methods and all the accessory details that may be presented, as long as they do not affect its essentiality. East preferred embodiment reflects the embodiment and embodiment of the invention specifying details that help to understand it.

del que disponen las cestas interiores situados longitudinalmente en el vértice que definen las dos caras planas del sector circular de cada cesta interior. Este par prismático asegura los recipientes interiores (3, 4 y 5) evitando que en la cocción puedan moverse, así como facilita su inserción y extracción precisa y segura. Cualquiera de los recipientes interiores empleado puede ser introducido o retirado cuando se precise empleando para ello un asa (7) en cuyos extremos presenta ganchos (6’) que se introduce en al menos las dos anillas (6) que presentan los recipientes interiores.The compartmentalized cooking container of this embodiment comprises an element or bar (1) for retaining the inner containers, located in the center of a conventional cooking container such as a pot; it is fixed by conventional means such as a weld joint; has four longitudinal grooves, figure 2, through which the complementary retention elements are inserted

of which the inner baskets located longitudinally at the vertex that define the two flat faces of the circular sector of each inner basket have. This prismatic pair secures the inner containers (3, 4 and 5) preventing them from moving during cooking, as well as facilitating their precise and safe insertion and extraction. Any of the inner containers used can be inserted or removed when required by using a handle (7) at the ends of which has hooks (6 ') that are inserted into at least the two rings (6) that the inner containers present.

In this embodiment, four baskets are used, figure 9, leaving a free portion for better access and handling of the content. As is clear from the description, the compartmentalized cooking container can be covered with a conventional lid as no element protrudes from the edge of the latter.

The material of the different elements used is stainless steel.
