Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a lid for a cooking device such as an electric pot used in a general household.

Conventional Structure and Problems Conventionally, the lid of this type of cooker has generally been formed by attaching a handle 2 to the center of the lid 1, as shown in FIG. However, with this configuration, when the cooker is used and the lid is removed and placed on a table, etc., it requires a large space on the table to be placed upside down as shown in Figure 2, and it is necessary to take it up again. In some cases, the lid 1 is easy to touch, and if the lid is heated, it may cause burns. In order to solve this drawback, a lid as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 has been proposed. This lid is constructed by attaching a handle 7 made of a poor thermal conductor with a flat mounting surface 4 and a plurality of handles 5 and 6 to a bowl-shaped lid body 3.
The lid is held by one handle 5 and removed from the cooking appliance, and is placed on a table with a flat surface 4 to support the lid at an angle of A degree. At this time, the vertical line F from the center of gravity of the lid is positioned within the flat mounting surface 4, that is, within the width B. Furthermore, the opening periphery 8 of the lid body 1 is
It is located higher up to collect water droplets adhering to the inner surface of the lid body 1 in the bottommost part 9 and prevent them from flowing out onto the table. By placing the lid on its side on the table, the space it occupies is reduced. When lifting the cooker from the countertop again, hold the handle 6 on the upper side that is not on the support side and place the lid on the cooker.

However, with this configuration, in the operation of attaching and detaching from the cooker, when removing the cooker, hold the handle 5, and when picking it up again and putting the lid on, hold the other handle 6.
When placing the lid horizontally on the cooker, use one handle 5.
Since the steam rising from the cooker comes into contact with the arm of the hand holding the lid, it is necessary to change the grip of the lid, and the handle 7 is provided with a plurality of handles. The lid was heavy and difficult to use.

Further, although the lid is supported on a table by the flat mounting surface 4, support is unstable on a table with a table cloth or the like due to its unevenness. Furthermore, since the center of gravity of the lid is the center of the total load of the lid 1 and handle 2, the lid center is located near the top of the lid 1 on the XY axis, and the vertical line F passing through the center of gravity provides the most stable mounting. It is not located at the center between B on the flat surface 4, but is located closer to the X side, making it more likely to fall in this direction.

For this reason, if the sideways angle A is increased and the vertical line F is located in the center between the opening periphery 8 and the lowest part 9.
There is a drawback that the difference in level between the lid body 1 and the lid body 1 becomes smaller, the volume for storing water droplets adhering to the inner surface of the lid body 1 decreases, and the water droplets flow out from the opening periphery 8. Therefore, there is a structural disadvantage in that the sideways angle A, which occupies the most space on the table, cannot be close to 90 degrees, and when the lid is lifted up again from the sideways position, the top surface of the lid 3 must be 2, which requires a large handle 7 that covers the top surface of the lid 3, resulting in high material costs.

Purpose of the invention This invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional technology, and improves the ease of attaching and detaching the lid, the safety of preventing burns, and the stability of placing the lid horizontally on a table. To provide a cooker lid that is convenient and can be used effectively at a low cost.

Structure of the invention In particular, the present invention forms a protrusion with a straight horizontal cross section that protrudes outward on the side wall of the lid, and a support part located approximately above the protrusion is formed on the handle. Since the lid is supported almost vertically by the protruding part, the horizontal angle of the lid is approximately 90 degrees, which reduces the area occupied by the lid, and also allows water droplets attached to the inner surface of the lid to be removed from the inside of the protruding part. It is something that can be stored. Furthermore, since the handle is provided with a connecting part with a gap between it and the top surface of the lid, when the handle is grasped to operate the lid, the user's fingers may come into direct contact with the heated lid. That will no longer be the case.

Description of examples An embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

In FIGS. 5 to 7, reference numeral 11 is a metal lid with an opening at the bottom, and an upper wall 12 and this upper wall 1.
It has a side wall 13 hanging down from the outer periphery of 2. Reference numeral 14 denotes a protrusion formed on the side wall 13 to protrude outward, and the protrusion 14 has a straight horizontal cross section, and can be formed into any size by press working. . 15 is the lid body 1
This handle is made of synthetic resin and is fixed to the protruding part 14 side on the upper wall 12 of the housing 1, and the handle 15 has a support part 16 formed therein so as to be located substantially above the protruding part 14.

The handle 15 has a pair of legs 17 fixed to the lid 11 with screws 18, and the legs 17 are connected by a connecting part 19. In addition, this connecting part 1
9 has a gap between it and the top surface of the lid body 11.
20 is a cooking container on which the lid 11 is placed.

In the above configuration, when the lid is placed on a stand in a horizontal position, the support portion 16 and the protrusion 14 are in contact with the stand, as shown in FIG. In this case, the vertical line F passing through the center of gravity of the lid is between the supporting part 16 and the protruding part 14.
It passes approximately through the center of the plane surrounded by and is stable. Furthermore, since the lid body is supported at an angle of about 90 degrees, it occupies a small area, allowing effective use of a tabletop, etc. In addition,
Water droplets adhering to the inner surface of the lid 11 are removed from the protrusion 14
It accumulates inside the. Furthermore, since the lid is supported by the support portion 16, it can be stably supported even if a cloth is spread on the table. In addition, when lifting the lid, use handle 1.
In this case, due to the presence of the connecting portion 19, the fingers do not directly touch the lid 11, and even when the lid is attached or removed, the arm does not touch the lid 11. There is no risk of burns.

Note that in the above embodiment, the protrusion 14 is connected to one side wall 13.
However, it may be provided on the entire circumference of the side wall 13, and in this case, a portion of the protrusion portion 14 on the entire circumference only needs to have a straight horizontal cross section. Although the support part 16 has been described as having a protruding shape as shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, it may also have a smooth arc shape. Part 1
It should be above 7.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above explanation, the cooker lid of the present invention has a side wall of the lid body that forms a protrusion whose horizontal cross section is linear, and which protrudes outward from the protrusion of the handle. A supporting portion is formed in the portion located approximately above, and the lid is supported approximately vertically by this supporting portion and the protruding portion, so the area occupied by the lid is small, and therefore the top of the table etc. In addition, water droplets adhering to the inner surface of the lid body can be collected inside a protrusion formed on the side wall of the lid body, and this protrusion allows the water droplets that accumulate inside to be collected inside the opening of the lid. It can be provided in any size that will not flow out from the tank. Furthermore, the lid can be attached and removed easily by grasping the handle, and since the handle has a connecting part with a gap between it and the top surface of the lid, it is easy to operate the lid. When gripping the handle, the fingers do not come into direct contact with the heated lid body, so there is no risk of burns, and operation can be performed safely and reliably.
