Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a frying pan or similar pan lid provided with a handle or ring.

(Prior Art and Its Problems) This type of lid, which is generally made of metal, is useful for cooking pots, but when used as a frying pan, it significantly interferes with frying operations. For example, if a cook covers a frying pan with a lid to protect it from splashing, the oxygen conditions within the frying pan itself change, which is particularly disadvantageous in frying operations.

In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a lid for a frying pan or similar pot which, on the one hand, provides sufficient protection against splashing and, on the other hand, does not interfere with the frying operation itself, and which has as advantageous an effect as possible. be.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This object can be achieved by a lid having at least one absorbent surface which is at least partially breathable and is made of filter paper, filter padding, fabric or the like. By virtue of the present invention, the frying pan can now be covered and the oxygen supply is nevertheless maintained.

As the filter paper, it is preferable to use one known for example, such as coffee filters. This is thus an economically advantageous material that can reduce the manufacturing costs of the lid. However, it is also possible, like a potato grater, to cut a portion of the material upwards and provide an opening in the lid, which on the one hand allows oxygen to enter and on the other hand prevents oil from splashing out.

Another advantage of using absorbent filter paper is that the water that comes with the splashing oil remains with the lid tight and can no longer fall back onto the fried food. Tests have shown that such liquids slow down the frying process, which can be prevented with the present invention.

Preferably, the lid has at least one peripheral ring to which is attached filter paper, filter padding, fabric, etc. The peripheral ring extends in the plane of the lid itself or perpendicularly thereto. It is particularly advantageous if the circumferential ring arranged in the plane of the lid is releasably attached to another circumferential ring perpendicular thereto. According to the invention, the lid is placed over the frying pan, sealed and fixed on the outside to the vertical circumferential ring. According to the invention, this circumferential ring can be varied depending on the installation height of the lid and the circumference of the frying pan to be covered.

The scope of the invention includes all shapes of lids depending on the respective shape of the frying pan.

Particularly important advantages regarding the usefulness of the lid of the invention are its simple design, low cost, reliability, and no need for cleaning. That is, as soon as frying oil, grilling oil, etc. has to be cleaned from this type of lid, the lid is no longer used regularly. The scope of the invention therefore includes simple embodiments in accordance with the invention, which are produced by punching out a disc material, preferably a cardboard board, for example with areas to be subsequently covered with filter paper or fabric. In addition, the punched-out area is bounded by a circumferential ring of the lid and crossbeams or radial arms for reinforcement. This embodiment is a disposable item that is not particularly complicated to manufacture or use.

When punching out the disks, it is desirable to leave a tongue piece that can be formed into a handle or grip so that housewives can hold the lid to check the doneness of the fries.

Although any type of sheet-like material can be used for the circumferential ring and its spoked arms, it is preferable to use cardboard rings of all contours because of their low cost.

However, the concept according to the invention also includes a lid consisting of a single mat of the same material, without peripheral rings, reinforcing cross-beams or radial arms, so that handles and grips for lifting can also be formed as integrally as possible. There is.

(Example) The present invention will be described in more detail below based on the example shown in the drawings.

A disk 4 made of cardboard and having a radius r of, for example, 150 mm is placed on the rim 1 of a frying pan 2 with a handle 3. Four sector-like areas 5 are punched out of the cardboard disc, so that the remaining parts of the cardboard disc 4 form a circumferential ring 6 with a width b of 20 mm and spoke-like radial arms 7;
This arm 7 is connected to the cardboard disk 4 at the center point M of the disk.
It is merged into the central area 8 of .

In each of the two oppositely located sector-shaped areas 5, one tongue 9 and 10 remains. Each tongue 9 and 10 cut out from the cardboard disc 4 in the punching operation is connected to the central region 8 in each case by a thin strip section 11, which strip section 11 is connected on both sides by a fold line 12. bounded and bendable from the plane E of the disk as shown in FIG.

One tongue piece 9 is provided with a push-in insertion protrusion 13, and this protrusion 13 can be inserted into a slot 14 in the other tongue piece 10 in the X direction when the tongue pieces 9 and 10 are bent (see Fig. 3). , thus the two tongues 9 and 10 together form a lifting ring 15.

A filter sheet 16 is stretched on the underside of the cardboard disc 4 or on the underside of the circumferential ring 6 and the radial arm 7, respectively, and is fixed by means of adhesive. This sheet 16 extends below the sector-shaped area 5; in another embodiment the filter sheet or sheet strips extend from the cardboard disc 4.
It extends above.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the cardboard disc 4 is clamped at the connecting part 20 into the middle of a clamping ring 21, whose radius e (see FIG. 4) can be changed.
For this purpose, the free end 2 of the tightening ring 21 is
2 overlap each other and can be secured to each other in position by means of tightening screws 23.

The clamping elements necessary for clamping the cardboard disc 4 on the connecting part 20 are not shown for ease of understanding.

The plan view shown in FIG. 5 shows that the cardboard disc 4 and the tightening ring 21 of this type are not only perfectly circular, but may also be oval, for example, and the shape of the disc 4 is the same as the frying pan to be covered. You can choose according to your needs. The clamping height h of the frying pan relative to the support 30 is also adjustable, for example, by virtue of two clamping rings 21, which are arranged concentrically with respect to one another and can be displaced relative to one another.

The filter sheet 16 may be, for example, one used in coffee filters, but it also has an opening 40 formed by punching out the tongue portion 41 (see FIG. 2). Section F in FIG. 2 shows that the filter sheet somewhat resembles the surface of a potato grater.
