Abstract

It is a protective kitchen screen that prevents the splashes that occur while we cook from staining surfaces or objects that we do not want. It can be placed on one or both of the lower sides of the extractor hood (14). It is made up of three plates (1, 2, 3,) of colorless polycarbonate or similar material. The plates (1) and (2) have the same measurements while the plate (3) is one centimeter less in width to be able to place the rings on the magnet hooks (4, 5) when we fold them. The plates (1, 2, 3) have equidistant holes where six rings (8. 9, 10, 11, 12, 13) are placed. Two rings (8, 9) are located on the magnet hooks (4, 5) located on the lower side of the extractor hood (14). The magnet hooks have adhesive bases so as not to scratch the extractor hood (14).

Description

DESCRIPTION

Protective kitchen screen

Technical sector

The present invention belongs to the kitchen accessories sector.

The main object of the present invention is an element that prevents splashes of oil, sauces, water, etc. surfaces or objects that we do not want to get dirty are spread or splashed. Another feature is that it prevents, as far as possible, that the steam escapes so easily and can be collected by the extractor hood, or remains fogged on the screen sheets.

Background of the invention

Today's splash shields are made up of three hinged aluminum panels that unfold 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, thus reducing clarity and visibility. They are cumbersome to clean because their dimensions are large to put 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 polycarbonate plates or similar material, preferably colorless or transparent, although other materials can be used, joined by rings and subject to two Magnet hooks that are attached to the lower side base of the extractor hood. It can be placed on both sides or only on one. It is located outside the dimensions of the kitchen, regardless of whether it is a vitroceramic, induction or gas hob.

The main advantages of this invention are:

• Prevents splashes that occur while we cook 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 are not uncomfortable.

• Folds both ways and very fast.

• The screen is colorless allowing clarity and visibility and makes it easier to detect kitchen utensils.

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

• In a way, it prevents steam from escaping from 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 hob to the extractor hood, with which part of the steam is sucked in or mist on the foils.

• It is aesthetic both collected and unfolded.

The kitchen protective screen consists of:

• Three polycarbonate plates 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 similar material, preferably colorless or transparent and of little thickness. The first two plates, starting 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 avoid that it stands out 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 placed on the magnet hooks by means of two rings and shares two other rings with the second sheet.

The second plate shares two rings with the first plate and another two with the third plate. The third plate has two holes near the upper longitudinal edge and at the same distance as the previous sheets. 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 soft so as not to scratch the hood. 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.

Brief description of the drawings

The description is complemented by a set of drawings in which the following has been represented for illustrative and non-limiting purposes:

Preferred embodiment of the invention

As already indicated, and as can be seen in figure 1, the protective kitchen 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 a lower side of the extractor hood (14), it is here, when it fulfills its mission of protecting by forming a barrier against splashes. The three plates (1, 2, 3) are made of colorless polycarbonate or similar material, and of little thickness. 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 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 previous two (1, 2), since when they are folded it is mounted on the rings (10) and (11). In this way we avoid that it protrudes 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. 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 lower lateral part of the extractor hood (14) at a distance close to which the holes are located, with respect to each other, of the sheets. The simplest way to put the protective screen is to first place the magnet hooks on the rings (8) and (9) of the first plate (1) and then place it on 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 soft 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 for the magnet to maintain the attraction effect.

The protective screen reaches almost to the worktop (16) without touching it, so that it can be left hanging and cover as much as possible. It must be outside the dimensions of the kitchen (15), regardless of the type, to avoid burning and to be able to cook comfortably.

Figure 2 shows a protective screen folding or unfolding, as interpreted, and located on a lower side of the extractor hood (14). Folding would be to reach the pick-up position and unfolding would be to reach the use position.

Figure 3 shows a protective screen collected and located on a 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 both ways. The three sheets (1, 2, 3) are in 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 an unfolded protective screen.
