Abstract

Protective kitchen screen characterized in that it presents: Three polycarbonate plates or similar material (1, 2, 3). Two magnet hooks (4, 5). Two circular bases (6, 7). Six rings preferably with opening (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13). The three plates (1, 2. 3) are of little thickness. The first and second plates (1.2) are of identical dimensions, have two pairs of holes equidistant from each other and close to the longitudinal edges of the sheets. The third plate (3) has two holes in the upper longitudinal part of the sheet and close to the upper edge. The holes are at the same distance as in the first and second plates (1, 2). The third plate (3) has a width of one centimeter less than the two previous ones (1, 2), since when they are folded it is mounted on the rings (10) and (11). In this way we prevent it from protruding in height and we can place the rings (12) and (13) on the magnet hooks (4, 5) when we want the screen to be folded. The rings (8) are located in the holes. (9), (10), (11), (12) and (13). The rings (8) and (9) are placed in the holes above the first plate (1). These two rings (8, 9) are located on the magnet hooks. The rings (10) and (11) join the first plate (1) with the second (2). And the rings (12) and (13) join the second plate (2) with the third (3). The distance between the sheets is very small to prevent the passage of splashes. The magnet hooks (4, 5) are located in the bottom side of the extractor hood (14) at a close distance where the holes are, one with respect to the other, of the sheets. The easiest way to put the protective screen is to first place the magnet hooks in the rings (8) and (9) of the first plate (1) and then place it in the extractor hood (14). They are made of stainless steel and both have the same dimensions. The circular bases (6, 7) are adhesive on one side, which sticks to the base of the magnet, and the opposite side, which is smooth so as not to scratch the extractor hood (14), and to be able to slide the magnet hooks (4, 5) at the desired distance. They must have the same diameter as the bases of the magnet hooks (4, 5) and very little thickness so that the magnet maintains the attraction effect.

Description

DESCRIPTION

kitchen protective screen

Technical sector

The present invention belongs to the sector of kitchen accessories.

The main object of the present invention is an element that prevents splashes of oil, sauces, water, etc. from spreading or splashing onto surfaces or objects that we do not want to get dirty. Another characteristic is that it prevents, as far as possible, the steam from escaping so easily and being collected by the extractor hood, or from remaining cloudy on the sheets of the screen.

Background of the invention

Today's splash screens consist of three hinged aluminum panels that fold out and surround pans, pots, etc. They are placed on the kitchen or countertop. They are not attached to the extractor hood and are made of an opaque material, which reduces clarity and visibility. They are cumbersome to clean because their dimensions are large to fit in the sink. They are not designed to be used in the dishwasher.

Explanation of the invention

In order to achieve the objectives and avoid the drawbacks mentioned in the previous sections, the invention proposes a system of three plates of polycarbonate or similar material, preferably colorless or transparent, although other materials can be used, joined by rings and attached to two Magnet hooks that are fixed to the lower side base of the extractor hood. It can be placed on both sides or just one. It is located outside the dimensions of the kitchen, regardless of whether it is a ceramic hob, induction or gas.

The main advantages of this invention are:

• Prevents the splashes that occur while cooking from spreading or splashing surfaces or objects that we do not want.

• When the sheets are folded and placed on the magnet hooks, they take up little space and do not get in the way.

• Folds both ways and very quickly.

• The screen is colorless which allows clarity and visibility and makes it possible to more easily detect kitchen utensils.

• It can be put in the dishwasher, taking up very little space.

• It prevents, in a way, the steam from escaping through the sides when we use the extractor and we have the two screens in place, since the screen covers almost the total height that goes from the countertop to the extractor hood, with which part of the steam is sucked in or mists on the blades.

• It is aesthetic both collected and displayed.

The kitchen protective screen consists of:

• Three plates of polycarbonate or similar material.

• Two magnet hooks

• Two circular bases.

• Six rings.

Below we will detail the elements that make up the invention:

The plates are made of polycarbonate or a similar material, preferably colorless or transparent and of little thickness. The first two plates, starting to number from the top, are the same size. The third plate has a width of one centimeter less than the previous two, since when folding them it is mounted on the rings. In this way we prevent it from protruding in height and we can place the rings on the magnet hooks when we want the screen to be collected.

The first two plates have two pairs of holes equidistant from each other and close to the longitudinal edges of the sheet.

The first plate is attached to the magnet hooks by means of two rings and shares another two rings with the second sheet.

The second plate shares two rings with the first sheet and another two with the third sheet. The third plate has two holes near the upper longitudinal edge and at the same distance as the previous plates. Share the rings with the second plate.

The magnet hooks are made of stainless steel and have the same dimensions.

The circular bases are the same diameter as the base of the magnet. The bases are adhesive on one side, which sticks to the base of the magnet, and the opposite side, which is smooth so as not to scratch the bell. They must be very thin so that the magnet maintains the attraction effect. The six rings are made of stainless steel and of the same diameter. They join the plates and also serve to place the screen on the magnet hooks.

Preferred embodiment of the invention

As already indicated, and as can be seen in figure 1, the kitchen protective screen, object of the invention, in its preferred embodiment, comprises a first plate (1), a second plate (2), a third plate (3), all three joined by four rings (10), (11), (12) and (13), two magnet hooks (4) and (5), which are fixed to the bottom and side of the hood extractor (14), two circular bases (6) and (7), one attached to each base of the magnet hooks (4, 5) and two rings (8) and (9), located on the first plate (1) and which are placed on the magnet hooks (4, 5) holding the protective screen.

Figure 1 shows a protective screen deployed and located on the lower side of the extractor hood (14), it is here, when it fulfills its mission of protecting, forming a splash barrier. The three plates (1, 2, 3) are made of colorless polycarbonate or a similar material, and are thin. The first and second plates (1, 2), of identical dimensions, have two pairs of holes equidistant from each other and close to the longitudinal edges of the sheets. The third plate (3) has two holes in the upper longitudinal part of the sheet and close to the edge. The holes are at the same distance as in the first and second plates (1, 2). The third plate (3) has a width of one centimeter less than the two previous ones (1, 2), since when they are folded it is mounted on the rings (10) and (11). In this way we prevent it from protruding in height and we can place the rings (12) and (13) on the magnet hooks (4, 5) when we want the screen to be folded. The rings (8), (9), (10), (11), (12) and (13) are located in the holes. The rings (8) and (9) are placed in the holes above the first plate (1). These two rings (8, 9) are located on the magnet hooks. The rings (10) and (11) join the first plate (1) with the second (2). And the rings (12) and (13) join the second plate (2) with the third (3). The distance between the sheets is very small to prevent the passage of splashes.

The magnet hooks (4, 5) are located in the bottom side of the extractor hood (14) at a close distance where the holes are, one with respect to the other, of the sheets. The simplest way to put the protective screen is to first place the magnet hooks in the rings (8) and (9) of the first plate (1) and then place it in the extractor hood (14). They are made of stainless steel and both have the same dimensions.

The circular bases (6, 7) are adhesive on one side, which sticks to the base of the magnet, and the opposite side, which is smooth so as not to scratch the extractor hood (14), and to be able to slide the magnet hooks (4, 5) at the desired distance. They must have the same diameter as the bases of the magnet hooks (4, 5) and very little thickness so that the magnet maintains the attraction effect.

The protective screen reaches almost to the countertop (16) without actually touching it, so that it can hang down and cover as much as possible. It must be outside the dimensions of the kitchen (15), regardless of the type it is, to prevent it from burning and to be able to cook comfortably.

Figure 2 shows a protective screen folding or unfolding, depending on how it is interpreted, and located on the lower side of the extractor hood (14). Folding would be to reach the collection position and unfolding would be to reach the position of use.

Figure 3 shows a protective screen collected and located on the lower side of the extractor hood (14). In this position the screen is not used. The rings (12) and (13) are placed on the magnet hooks (4, 5) together with the rings (8) and (9) that hold the screen. It can be folded in both directions. The three sheets (1,2, 3) are on the same plane, occupying little space.

Figure 4 shows two protective screens, one on each lower side of the extractor hood (14), in deployed positions.

Figure 5 shows a protective screen deployed.
