Description

  The present invention relates to a separate handle used for various cooking containers such as a frying pan and a pan.

  The separation type handle for cooking containers can be used as a handle for various types of cooking containers having different sizes and shapes, and is very economical. Moreover, the volume at the time of packaging of a cooking container can be reduced, and distribution cost can be reduced. Furthermore, since it occupies a small space during use, it can be used very conveniently.

  Such a separable handle for cooking containers has already been disclosed in Patent Document 1. According to this Patent Document 1, the holding rod that protrudes forward from the handle and faces the support is connected to the operating rod installed so as to move back and forth in the space of the handle by the distance adjusting spring. . Here, the operating rod is slid back and forth by opening and closing operation of a lever connected to the handle by the shaft pin, and the holding rod is moved forward or backward, and as a result, the handle is coupled and fixed to the cooking container, or Configured to separate from the cooking vessel.

  Therefore, according to the separation type handle for a cooking container having such a structure, the basic function can be satisfied. However, there were the following problems. Rotation operation of the lever for coupling or separation of the separation type handle and the cooking container is performed by locking pieces that are formed to protrude on both sides of the lever. Therefore, when the handle is to be separated from the cooking container, the thumb and index finger holding the handle must be spread and both side locking pieces of the lever below the handle must be pushed deeply down. Therefore, the operation of separating the handle from the cooking container is very inconvenient and difficult.

  When the lever is released from the handle, not only the space formed in the bottom of the handle, but also all the related parts such as the operating rod installed in the space and the interval adjusting spring are exposed. Therefore, there is a problem that not only the appearance is not beautiful, but also the safety and reliability of the product are lowered.

Strong elasticity is provided by (ie, at least one of these). Therefore, the closed state is maintained as long as no artificial force is applied as well as a complete closing.

  In one specific example shown in FIGS. 2 and 4 to 5, the connecting tool 40 is formed by bending the connecting parts 40 and 43 at both ends of the linear connecting tool main body 41 in directions opposite to each other. In addition, a connection is formed between the operating rod 30 and the pressure piece 50. Moreover, strong support force is exhibited while having some elasticity by the curved collar part (connection part) each extended from the connection tool main-body part 41. FIG. Therefore, a strong tensile force is applied to the pressure piece 50 when the operation lever 70 is closed. Therefore, the separation type handle A can be firmly connected and fixed by the cooking container B.

  Further, the connecting tool 40 formed between the operating rod 30 and the pressure piece 50 may have a different form as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, or each connecting portion as shown in FIGS. Even when the spring portion 44 is provided between them, when the operating lever 70 is closed, a strong supporting force can be exhibited while having some elasticity.

  And when it is going to open | release the operation lever 70 in order to isolate | separate the separation type handle A which concerns on this invention from the cooking container B, the main body 10 was stably hold | gripped using the remaining four fingers except the thumb. When the button 80 is pushed using the thumb in the state, the operating lever 70 that has been in contact with the button 80 through the contact protrusion 78 rotates counterclockwise. Further, when the operation lever 70 is rotated by the button 80, if the roller 72 at the end thereof exceeds the reversal point of the guide roller 28, the release is completely performed by the rotation of the coupling tool 40 and the return spring 60 thereafter. It becomes like this. Further, when the operating lever 70 is fully opened, the roller 72 at the rear end thereof is coupled to the coupling recess 32 of the operating rod 30 so as to maintain a predetermined opening angle.

  Accordingly, when the separation type handle A is to be separated from the cooking container B, if the button 80 is pressed with the thumb while the main body 10 is stably held using the four fingers excluding the thumb, the operation lever 70 is opened, and the separation type handle A is separated from the cooking container B. Therefore, the separation type handle A can be easily and quickly separated from the cooking container B in a state where the separation type handle A is stably held.

  Further, when the operation lever 70 is opened to separate the separation handle A from the cooking container B, the both side plates 74 and the front plate 76 of the operation lever 70 are operated by blocking the entrance of the operation chamber 14 of the main body 10. In addition to the chamber 14, it is possible to prevent the exposure of the related parts such as the operating rod 30 and the tension spring 40 installed in the operating chamber 14. As a result, a smooth appearance can be maintained even when the operating lever 70 is opened, and the safety and reliability of the product can be improved.

  As described above, the separation type handle according to the present invention has been described. However, the connecting tool 40 formed to be connected between the operating rod 30 and the pressure piece 50 has a different shape or a spring portion between the connecting portions. Various examples, such as providing the above, can be given as examples. Therefore, the patent right scope of the present invention is not limited by the above-described embodiments, but covers all technical matters within the scope equivalent to the matters described in the claims.
