Description

  The present invention relates to a cookware handle, and more particularly, is easy to assemble and operate, and an upper handle and a lower handle are naturally approached (up and down) by a cylindrical button reciprocated along a slide surface by the elasticity of a spring. The present invention relates to a handle for a cooking utensil that can close the containers tightly) or move away (open and close the containers together).

  As such a type of conventional cooking utensil handle, one disclosed in Patent Document 1 (Korean Registered Patent No. 10-0554100) has been proposed.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3b, the conventional cooking utensil handle 100 includes one side provided on the side surfaces of the one side container A and the other side container B that are foldably coupled around a hinge h. The handle 10 and the other side handle 20 are included.

  The one side handle 10 is provided with an inclined slide surface 14 which becomes longer toward the outer surface 12 from the inner surface 11 contacting the other side handle 20 at the other end far from the one side container A, and the thickness of the slide surface 14 is increased. The thickness is reduced to provide a step 13 on the outer surface 12.

  The other side handle 20 has an inner surface 21 that contacts the one side handle 10 further extended in the length direction with a separation distance l from a portion where the slide surface 14 starts, and a groove 23 is formed on the outer surface 22 by the separation distance l. The stopper 24 which opposes the slide surface 14 is provided so that it may be formed.

  A semicircular body 31 that is fixed to the inner surface 21 of the other side handle 20 with a screw N and completes a circumferential groove 30 with a length from the groove 23 to the step 13 as a reference diameter, and the groove 23 and the step 13 are included. It includes a cylindrical button 40 which is sandwiched between circumferential grooves 30 and reciprocated in the length direction while sliding on the slide surface 14.

  It further includes a pressure spring 51 that is elastically supported by the stopper 24 and an accommodating groove 41 that is formed in the cylindrical button 40 and accommodates the pressure spring 51.

  However, the conventional cooking appliance handle has the following problems.

  One problem is that in order to complete the circumferential groove 30, the structure of the semicircle 31 must be fixed with a separate fastening element.

  Another problem is that a part of the press-out spring 51 is exposed to the outside, so that it is not aesthetically pleasing, or the elasticity of the spring does not work properly when foreign matter penetrates.

Korean Registered Patent No. 10-0554100

  The present invention has been devised to solve the above-described problem, and has an object to provide a handle for a cooking utensil that is easy to assemble and that operates smoothly.

  In order to achieve the above object, a cooking utensil handle according to claim 1 of the present invention has an upper handle in which an upper staircase portion having a bottom is formed and a lower handle portion in which a lower staircase portion having a bottom is formed. A side handle, a protrusion protruding from a rear end of the lower handle and having a locking protrusion, a cap inserted into the protrusion and having a locking hole for locking to the locking protrusion, And a rocker that is assembled so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction along the bottom surface of the cap.

  The cookware handle described in claim 2 of the present invention further includes an elastic member that applies elasticity to the rocker with respect to the cap, and the cap has an inner cylinder and an outer length shorter than the inner cylinder. A cylinder, a housing groove for accommodating the elastic member between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder; the inner cylinder has the locking hole; and the rocker includes a cylindrical slider and a cylindrical slider The movable sheet protrudes from the inner peripheral surface and is in contact with one side of the elastic member.

  According to the present invention, the following effects are exhibited.

  First, the projecting part is integrated with the lower handle, and the separate parts for forming a separate circumferential groove are omitted, and the rocker's sliding guide and the cap functioning as a stopper can be easily inserted into the projecting part. If combined, the assembly becomes very convenient.

  In addition, since the elastic member is placed inside the cylindrical slider and is not exposed to the outside, it is possible to reliably slide the rocker by preventing the penetration of foreign substances and the like completely.

It is sectional drawing which shows the operation state of the handle for cookware of FIG. It is sectional drawing which shows the operation state of the handle for cookware of FIG. FIG. 3 is a front perspective view of a cookware handle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a rear perspective view of the cookware handle according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of FIG. FIG. 5 is a combined cross-sectional view of FIG. 4 and a release cross-sectional view.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in the past, and the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  Further, the positions of the upper side and the lower side in the present invention are only described for the positions in the drawings, and are defined as including the opposite positions when the upper and lower positions are turned over.

  4 and 5 are front and rear perspective views showing a cooking utensil handle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 6a and 6b are combined sectional views of FIG. It is sectional drawing.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the cooking utensil handle 300 according to the present embodiment includes an upper and lower handles 310 and 330, and an approach / withdrawal member 350 that causes the upper and lower handles 310 and 330 to approach or withdraw. including.

  The upper handle 310 preferably has a semicircular cross-sectional shape with a flat bottom surface.

  Further, an upper staircase portion 311 having a step with a wall 313 and a bottom 315 is formed on the semicircular surface at the rear end of the upper handle 310.

  In addition, the bottom 315 has a shape that becomes narrower as it goes down from the top (that is, the lowest position of the upper inclined surface).

  In addition, an upper inclined surface 317 is formed on the rear end surface of the upper handle 310 so as to be inclined with a (−) gradient from top to bottom.

  As with the upper handle 310, the lower handle 330 preferably has a semicircular cross-section with a flat upper surface.

  Further, the lower handle 330 is formed with a lower inclined surface 337 opposed to the upper inclined surface 317.

  On the semicircular surface at the rear end of the lower handle 330, a lower staircase portion 331 having a step with a wall 333 and a bottom 335 is formed.

  Further, the bottom 335 has a shape that becomes narrower as it goes up from the bottom (that is, the uppermost position of the lower inclined surface).

  Therefore, when the upper handle 310 and the lower handle 330 approach each other, as shown in FIG. 6A, the upper staircase portion 311 and the lower staircase portion 331 form one circumferential bottom 315, 335 having the same width.

  In addition, a protrusion 339 that protrudes in the length direction from the end of the bottom 335 is formed.

  A cap 353 on which an elastic member 351 is mounted is fitted and fixed to the protrusion 339.

  The cap 353 includes an inner cylinder 355 and an outer cylinder 357, and an accommodation groove 359 in which the elastic member 351 is accommodated is formed between the inner cylinder 355 and the outer cylinder 357. As the elastic member 351, a coil spring is preferably applied.

  Therefore, the elastic member 351 opposes the cap 353 and applies elasticity to the locker 370 to be described later. When the locker 370 has no external force, the elastic member 351 is directed to a locked position (a state in which the upper and lower handles are kept close to each other). Apply power to

  Locking holes 361 are preferably formed on the upper and lower sides of the inner cylinder 355, and a protrusion 339 is formed on the protrusion 339, and a cap 353 is detached from the protrusion 339. To prevent that.

  Further, it is desirable that cut-out notches 365 are formed before and after the inner cylinder 355 of the cap 353.

  The notch 365 is expanded by some elasticity when the inner cylinder 355 is inserted into the protrusion 339. When the locking projection 363 is locked in the locking hole 361, the notch 365 is restored to its original state. Separation can be prevented more reliably.

  When measured from the rear end, the outer cylinder 357 is formed shorter than the inner cylinder 355 by a length L.

  This short distance is almost similar to the release sliding distance of the locker 370 described later.

  The outer cylinder 357 is also formed with a notch 367, which allows the outer cylinder 357 to be elastically deformed to some extent when the cylindrical slider 371 of the rocker 370 is in sliding contact with each other, thereby providing smooth sliding.

  The locker 370 includes a cylindrical slider 371 and a movable sheet 373 protruding from the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical slider 371.

  That is, the movable sheet 373 is in contact with one side of the elastic member 351.

  Further, the movable sheet 373 is not locked to the inner cylinder 355 but protrudes to the extent that it is locked to the outer cylinder 357.

  The inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical slider 371 is assembled so as to be slidable with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder 357 and the bottoms 315 and 335.

  The movable sheet 373 forms a surface on which the front and rear of the elastic member 351 are positioned together with the fixed sheet that forms the bottom of the accommodation groove 359.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6a, when the cylindrical slider 371 of the rocker 370 is placed on the walls 313 and 333 of the stepped portions 311 and 331, the upper handle 310 and the lower handle 330 are coupled together.

  If the cylindrical slider 371 is pulled backward in the solid line direction as shown in FIG. 6b in the state of FIG.

  If the cylindrical slider 371 is released in this released state, the cylindrical slider 371 is caught on the wall 333 and stopped as shown in FIG.

  Therefore, the approaching / retreating member 350 is inserted between the cap 353 and the locker 370 sliding along the outer peripheral surface of the cap 353, and the elastic member 350 is interposed between the cap 353 and the locker 370 to restore the locker 370. The member 351 is large.

  In addition, the sliding distance in the length direction of the locker 370 is limited to the distance between the tip of the outer cylinder 357 of the cap 353 and the wall 313 or 333.

  As described above, the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, but the present invention can be variously modified or modified without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the claims. It is obvious to those skilled in the relevant art that what can be done.
