Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to cooking utensils used in general households.

Prior Art Conventionally, this type of cooking utensil was constructed as shown in Fig. 3.

That is, it includes a display plate 1 fixed to the side surface of the cooking utensil body, and a protection plate 2 made of a transparent hard material with colors, patterns, etc. printed on the back side. When printing on the back surface of the protective plate 2, if the printing surface is uneven, printing becomes difficult, so the back surface needs to be flat. Therefore, it is impossible to form a shape that fits with the display plate 1 on the back surface of the protection plate 2, and there are problems with the reliability of heat resistance and holding power with adhesive. A protective plate 2 was disposed on the back side of 1, and both were held between them by a presser plate 3.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the structure of the display device as described above, when an external force is applied to the protection plate 2, that force is applied to the presser plate 3, and the force further holds the presser plate 3. Join the display board 1 that is being displayed. At this time, since only a part of the outer periphery of the presser plate 3 was fixed to the display plate 1, the presser plate 3 would be largely bent when a force was applied to its center. Therefore, since the protective plate 2 also bends, it is necessary to ensure a sufficient distance between the protective plate 2 and the lamp on the lamp board. Therefore, since the light emitted by the lamp is far from the protective plate 2, the light becomes difficult to see when viewed from the outside, resulting in a problem that the display device cannot function satisfactorily.

Further, the configuration of this display device is a combination of three parts, and due to variations in the dimensions of the respective parts, the protective plate 2 may wobble and the like, impairing its appearance. Furthermore, due to the shaking of the protective plate 2, the printing surface on the back side rubs against the presser plate 3, causing printing flaws, which further impairs the appearance.

On the other hand, this configuration of the display device has a problem in that it requires a large number of parts and many man-hours, resulting in high costs.

The present invention solves these conventional problems, and provides a cooking utensil that ensures reliable display on the display, has a small number of parts, and is easy to assemble.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides a display board having a frame shape, and a protection board that is slid and inserted into the slide groove of the display board and held there.

Effect With this configuration, even if an external force is applied to the protection plate, the force is received by the entire display board, so the amount of deformation is small. Therefore, the distance between the protection plate and the lamp on the lamp board can be brought closer. The light emitted by the lamp is close to the protective plate and can be easily seen from the outside.

Furthermore, since the protection plate is inserted into the recess of the display board and its projections are fitted into the grooves of the display board, it is possible to almost eliminate wobbling between the protection board and the display board.

On the other hand, the number of parts may be small, the number of man-hours may be small, and the cost may be low.

Examples Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
This will be explained with reference to the figures. In FIG. 2, 11 is a cylindrical body that forms the outer frame of the main body, 12 is an upper frame that forms the upper end of the outer frame of the main body, and 13 is an upper frame 12.
An outer lid that covers the top opening; 14, a lower frame that constitutes the lower end and legs of the outer frame of the main body; 15, a display board that displays the cooking process, etc.; 16, which controls the cooking process and displays the process using LEDs; The control board 17 is made of transparent resin and transmits light to the user along with the display board 15. It protects the LEDs, etc. on the control board 16, and allows the light to pass through to other parts.
It is a protective plate with a pattern printed on it, and the back side is flat. As shown in FIG. 2, the protection plate 17 is attached by fitting projections 17a formed on three sides into the slide grooves 15a of the display plate 15. As shown in FIG. 1
Reference numeral 8 denotes a display plate end portion that prevents the protection plate 17 from coming off and forms an end face of the display plate 15.

With the above configuration, the protection plate 17 and the display plate 15 are in contact over almost the entire surface thereof, and even if an external force is applied to the center of the protection plate 17, it is supported by the rigidity of the display plate 15, so that almost no deflection occurs. . Therefore, the protection plate 17 and the control board 1
Since the LEDs and the like of No. 6 can be held close together, their light can be easily and clearly transmitted to the user. In addition, since the protective plate 17 is fitted into the display plate 15 in a sliding manner, there is almost no gap between them, which not only provides a good appearance, but also prevents the protective plate 17 from moving during use and causing scratches on its back surface. Not at all. On the other hand, it is easy to assemble and can reduce the number of man-hours.

In this embodiment, the display panel end 18 is used, but if this is replaced with a slide switch knob or the like, the number of parts will not increase.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, a recess is provided in the display board, a protection plate is inserted into this part, a slide groove is provided in at least one place in the recess of the display board, and a protection plate is inserted into this part. By incorporating the protrusions, this cooking utensil not only can easily and clearly communicate the cooking process to the user;
It is possible to obtain a display unit that has a good appearance and is easy to assemble.
