Description

  The present invention relates to a top cover that is placed on a top plate formed of a metal plate material of a stove and covers the top plate.

  Conventionally, a tabletop stove is provided with a top plate made of metal (for example, stainless steel or iron with enamel finish). The top plate includes a burner opening that opens an upper portion of a burner accommodated in the housing, and is provided integrally with the housing so as to cover the opened upper portion of the housing.

  In this type of tabletop stove, spilled or oily dirt adheres to the surface of the top plate during cooking. If such dirt is firmly attached to the top plate surface, not only will it require a lot of effort to clean, but if you try to forcibly remove the dirt, the top plate surface may be damaged. There will be a serious deterioration in the appearance of the top board. Moreover, in a metal top plate, if a cooking device etc. are dropped carelessly on a top plate, it will be easy to produce a dent locally, and this will also reduce the external appearance of a top plate remarkably.

  Therefore, it is known to use a cover made of aluminum foil that prevents the surface of the top plate from being soiled by laying on the top plate (see, for example, Patent Document 1). This type of cover lays on the top plate to allow spillage and oil stains during cooking to adhere to the cover. However, since the cover made of aluminum foil is extremely thin, it is easily broken and it is difficult to remove the adhered dirt. For this reason, it is necessary to remove the cover with dirt and lay a new cover on the top plate. This is not only uneconomical, but the removed cover becomes waste and causes a problem in disposal processing. Further, although the top plate can be prevented from being soiled by the cover made of aluminum foil, there is a disadvantage that the appearance of the stove is lowered because the outer surface of the top plate is covered. Even if an aluminum foil cover is laid on the top plate, if the cooker is accidentally dropped on the top plate, the impact is transmitted to the top plate to prevent deformation of the top plate. Can not do it. Moreover, the aluminum foil cover is broken by the impact, and there is a disadvantage that it is necessary to replace it even if no dirt is attached.

  On the other hand, in recent years, a desktop stove has been proposed in which the top plate is formed of glass which is a plate material having heat resistance and rigidity (see, for example, Patent Document 2). This type of tabletop stove is made of glass, so that spilled oil and oil stains on the top plate can be removed very easily, and the surface of the top plate is extremely resistant to damage. Is extremely high. Moreover, by adopting a glass top plate, the decorativeness of the stove is high and the aesthetics can be remarkably improved.

  However, the glass top plate is relatively heavy, and when mounted on the open upper portion of the housing that houses the burner body, the glass top plate is firmly supported on the upper peripheral edge of the housing. For this reason, a special housing for the glass top plate must be used.

For this reason, for example, it is not possible to replace only the metal top plate of an existing tabletop stove with a glass top plate. This is not only uneconomical, but also causes problems with the disposal of stoves that are no longer used after replacement.

  By eliminating such inconvenience, the present invention can improve the appearance of the stove at a low cost simply by placing it on the top plate of an existing stove, and also cleans dirt and the like adhering during cooking. An object of the present invention is to provide a stove top cover that can be made extremely easy.

  In order to achieve such an object, the present invention is a top cover that covers a top plate placed on a top plate formed of a stove metal plate, and is formed of a plate having heat resistance and rigidity. A flat panel portion corresponding to a plan view shape of the top plate of the stove, a burner opening corresponding to the burner of the stove to open the burner, and fixing means for fixing the panel portion to the top plate of the stove. It is characterized by providing.

  The top plate cover of the present invention is placed on a top plate formed of a metal plate material of a stove. At this time, the panel part of the top cover is fixed to the top by the fixing means, and the mounting state on the top is maintained. Since the burner opening is formed in the top cover, the burner of the stove is opened.

  And according to this invention, the top-plate cover is formed with the board | plate material which has heat resistance and rigidity. Thereby, the metal top plate can be covered and protected. Furthermore, even if spilled or oily dirt adheres to the surface of the top cover, it can be removed very easily, and since the top cover has rigidity, a cooker or the like is inadvertently placed on the top cover. Even if it falls, it is hard to be damaged and there is no dent deformation, so that a good appearance can be maintained for a long time.

  Examples of the plate material having heat resistance and rigidity include crystallized glass, temper glass (tempered glass), and natural stone materials (marble, granite, etc.). These materials have high decorativeness and can easily enhance the aesthetic appearance, and the appearance of the stove can be dramatically improved only by being placed on the top board.

  In addition, because the stove top is made of metal, it is damaged when the strong dirt is forcibly removed, or a dent is caused locally by dropping of a cooker, etc. However, by placing the top cover on the top board, the surface of the top board can be covered and reproduced in a highly aesthetic state.

  Even if the top cover is a plate material having heat resistance and rigidity, and the weight of the top cover is relatively heavy, the panel portion is supported by the upper surface of the top plate of the stove, so a dedicated housing for providing the top cover is provided. No body is required, and the appearance of the stove can be improved at a very low cost. Furthermore, when using a glass plate material such as the crystallized glass and temper glass for the top plate cover, it is possible to provide a coating or a pattern on the back of the glass, so that a desired design can be adopted. It is possible to obtain a higher aesthetic appearance.

  As one aspect of the present invention, the fixing means may be a caulking material that is filled between the panel portion and the top plate of the stove to adhere and fix the panel portion and the top plate of the stove. By using a caulking material as the fixing means, the top surface of the top plate of the stove and the panel portion of the top plate cover can be brought into close contact with each other, and can be securely bonded and fixed without exposing the fixing means at all. Can be fixed. In addition, by interposing the caulking material between the top surface of the stove top plate and the panel portion of the top plate cover, it is possible to obtain a buffering action by the caulking material even if it receives impact, etc., and damage the top plate cover. It can be surely prevented.

  As another aspect of the present invention, the fixing means is detachably coupled to the peripheral portion of the top plate of the stove and the hook portion hooked to the outer end portion of the panel portion. It is mentioned that it is set as the connection member provided with a connection part. By employing the connecting member as the fixing means, the top plate cover can be securely fixed to the top plate. In addition, the top plate cover can be easily removed from the top plate by releasing the screwing at the connection portion of the connection member, and the top plate cover is removed from the top plate for cleaning, or another paint or pattern is applied. It can be replaced with a top plate cover, and a high appearance can be easily maintained using a stove having an existing metal top plate.
