In the embodiment of the invention will be described as applying the folding handle to the cooking pan that can perform up and down cooking, such as fried eggs.)

As shown in FIG. 1, a cooking appliance having a folding handle according to the present invention includes a cooker body 10 in which a food is placed and directly heated, and a bracket 20 protrudes outside the edge 11, and the cooker body. The bracket 20 of (10) is provided with the handle 40 to which the front-end part is rotatably coupled. The handle 40 is mounted on the bracket 20 to be gripped by the user, the locking button 50 is provided with a locking pin 52 (see Fig. 4) to restrain and release its rotation, and this locking button And a stopper 60 capable of restraining the operation of 50, and an elastic member 70 (see FIG. 4) for elastically supporting the locking button 50. The detailed structure of each component is as follows. same.

First, referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the cooker body 10 is forged into a bowl shape in which an upper portion is opened through a die casting machine, and an edge thereof extends upward to form an edge 11. The edge 11 of the cooker body 10 is integrally molded so that the bracket 20 for coupling the handle 40 faces outward. {In the embodiment of the present invention, the bracket 20 is integrally formed on the edge 11 of the cooker body 10, but the bracket 20 may be manufactured separately and mounted on the cooker body 10, of course. .)

The bracket 20 is formed to protrude in the horizontal direction in the form of a plate having a predetermined thickness, the tip thereof is a handle-coupling portion 21 in which a shaft through hole 22 for coupling the hinge shaft 30 is drilled on the central portion thereof. ) In addition, a locking pin 52 provided on the handle 40 side is inserted into the handle-coupling portion 21 of the bracket 20 so that the locking holes 23 can be restrained or released. 24) is perforated. The plurality of locking holes 23 and 24 are center-locking holes 23 drilled in the center of the tip of the bracket 20 so that the locking pins 52 can be inserted in the state where the handle 40 is extended to the center. , Distinguished by the side-locking hole 24 perforated on the right edge of the bracket 20 so that the locking pin 52 can be inserted in a state in which the handle 40 is folded to one side (the left side of the user holding the handle). do. Since the locking holes 23 and 24 are perforated on the rotation radius line of the locking pin 52, the locking pin 52 may be naturally detached according to the rotational position of the handle 40.

In addition, the upper and lower guide protrusions 25a and 25b protrude in the form of a band along the edge of the bracket 20 on the upper and lower surfaces of the handle coupling portion 21 concentrically with the center of the shaft through-hole 22. do. That is, the upper and lower guide protrusions 25a and 25b are formed to protrude in a circular shape along the edge of the handle-coupling portion 21 (in the embodiment of the present invention, the upper and lower guide protrusions 25a and 25b of Protruding height is configured to about 0.3mm}, which is intended to facilitate the rotation thereof in line contact with the hinge-engagement portion 41 of the handle 40. This is detailed in the operation description below.

In addition, referring to Figures 2 and 3, the upper surface of the bracket 20 adjacent to the edge 11 of the cooker body 10 is provided with a locking projection (26) protruding toward the handle-coupling portion 21 side, This is to prevent the handle 40 from being folded in the other direction (the left direction while the user is holding the handle) by engaging the locking portion 46 to be described later of the handle 40.

In addition, the lower surface of the bracket 20 adjacent to the edge 11 of the cooker body 10 is provided with a fire-blocking wall 27 protrudes downward. The fire-blocking wall 27 prevents the flame from passing over to the handle-engaging portion 21 side of the bracket 20 during cooking. In other words, the flame has a property of going up the cooker wall surface, the flame-blocking wall 27 is prevented from passing directly to the handle 40 side made of synthetic resin flame.

1 and 4, a hinge-engaging portion 41 is provided at the front end of the handle 40 to be rotatably coupled to the bracket 20 through the hinge shaft 30. The hinge-engaging portion 41 has a shaft coupling hole 42 which is aligned with the shaft through-hole 22 and penetrated in the vertical direction so that the hinge shaft 30 penetrates, and a horizontal orthogonal to the shaft coupling hole 42. A bracket-receiving groove 43 is provided in which the bracket 20 is received in the horizontal direction. The bracket-receiving groove 43 is formed in a slot shape so that the handle-coupling portion 21 of the bracket 20 is inserted. In addition, at the distal end of the hinge-engagement portion 41, a locking portion 46 which is caught by the locking jaw 26 of the upper surface of the bracket 20 to allow the rotation of the handle 40 in one direction and restrains in the other direction is provided. It is provided to protrude, which is detailed in the operation description.

The hinge shaft 30 is bolt-shaped with a male screw on the tip, and is fixed by screwing the nut 31 to the tip after passing through the shaft through hole 22 and the shaft coupling hole 42 from the upper side to the lower side. The upper surface of the head of the hinge shaft 30 is coated with a reversible discoloration paint 32, the color of which is changed by the heat transmitted from the bracket 20. That is, the reversible discoloration paint 32 is coated on the upper surface of the hinge shaft 30 exposed to the outside while penetrating the hinge-engaging portion 41 of the handle 40, in the embodiment of the present invention from about 45 degrees Reversible discoloration paint 32, which is a thermal chromium colorant that changes color and can recognize a heating state, was applied.

 Therefore, the handle-engagement portion 21 of the bracket 20 is inserted into the bracket-receiving groove 43, and then the hinge shaft 30 is inserted into the shaft through hole 22 and the shaft coupling hole 42 from the upper side to the lower side. To combine. When the nut 31 is tightened to the end of the hinge shaft 30, the tip of the handle 40 is rotatably mounted to the bracket 20. At this time, when the handle-coupling portion 21 of the bracket 20 is accommodated in the bracket-receiving groove 43 and coupled through the hinge shaft 30, the upper and lower guide protrusions 25a and 25b are bracket- Line contact with the upper and lower walls of the receiving groove (43). Accordingly, even if the hinge shaft 30 is firmly tightened, the handle 40 can smoothly rotate left and right in the line contact bracket 20. In addition, the upper surface of the hinge shaft 30 coated with the reversible discoloration paint 32 is exposed to the outside in the hinge-engaging portion 41.

In addition, the upper end of the handle 40 is provided with a recessed button receiving portion 44 to accommodate the locking button 50. And the locking button 50 is coupled to the shaft 51 in the center of the button receiving portion 44, the front end and the rear end can be moved up and down, the locking hole 23 perforated in the bracket 20 in the lower end thereof The locking pin 52, which can be inserted into and removed from the 24 and restrains and releases the handle 40, is provided to protrude. The locking pin 52 is configured to be selectively inserted into the center-locking hole 23 or the side-locking hole 24, as described above.

On the other hand, the elastic member 70 is disposed to elastically support the rear end of the locking button 50 to the upper end so that the front end of the locking button 50 in the button receiving portion 44. That is, in the embodiment of the present invention, the elastic member 70 is composed of a coil spring, which is seated on the spring seating portion 45 at the rear of the button receiving portion 44, so that the rear end of the locking button 50 has its own elastic restoring force. Support upwards. Accordingly, the tip of the locking button 50 is always subjected to a load in the downward direction, so that the locking pin 52 is not released unless an artificial force is applied while the locking pin 52 is inserted into the locking holes 23 and 24.

4 and 5, the stopper 60 is inserted into and removed from the rear space of the button receiving portion 44 where the rear end of the locking button 50 is positioned, thereby selectively selecting the vertical seesaw operation of the locking button 50. For the purpose of limiting this, the front end is provided with a swing rod 62 coupled to the shaft 61 so as to swing forward and backward in the center portion of the locking button 50, and integrally provided at the rear end of the swing rod 62. It is defined as the stop-projection 63 which is inserted into the space on the rear side of the portion 44. And when the swing rod 62 is pivoted to the rear surface of the locking button 50, a seating groove 53 is formed in the longitudinal direction so that the swing rod 62 is accommodated.

Therefore, when the swing rod 62 is seated in the seating groove 53 by pivoting the stopper 60 backward, its stop-protrusion 63 is inserted into the rear space of the button receiving portion 44, thereby locking the button. Pressing the rear end of (50) does not go down. That is, when the rear end of the locking button 50 is pressed, it comes down while drawing a predetermined arc around the shaft 51. When the stop-protrusion 63 is inserted into the space on the rear side of the button receiving portion 44, Thereafter, the rear end of the locking button 50 cannot be caught by the stop-protrusion 63.

As a result, the locking button 50 can be pressed only by artificially removing the stop-protrusion 63 from the button receiving portion 44, which is operated even if the user inadvertently presses the locking button 50. To prevent this.

Next will be described the operation of the folding handle according to the present invention configured as described above and the resulting effects.

First, as shown in FIG. 4, the handle 40 is positioned at the center and the radius of the cooker body 10 is the handle 40 when the locking pin 52 is inserted into the center-locking hole 23. Position is fixed to protrude in the direction. In this state, you can hold the handle 40 to cook, or hold the handle 40 to move the cooking appliance.

At this time, since the locking pin 52 remains firmly inserted into the center-locking hole 23, the handle 40 is locked in the unfolded state without shaking from side to side. This locking state is because the elastic member 70 elastically supports the rear end of the locking button 50 upward, and is maintained as long as no artificial force is applied. In the state where the stop-protrusion 63 of the stopper 60 is inserted into the space on the rear side of the button receiving portion 44, this does not operate even if the user inadvertently presses the locking button 50. In addition, the locking portion 46 of the hinge-engagement portion 41 is held on the side of the locking jaw 26 of the bracket 20, so that the handle 40 is firmly fixed without shaking from side to side.

In addition, in the process of cooking through a stove, etc., the flame rises on the outer wall of the cooker main body 10, and the flame is handled by the fire-blocking wall 27 on the lower surface of the bracket 20. 21, that is, the direction toward the handle 40 side is blocked. Therefore, the folding handle 40 can be prevented from being damaged by the flame.

In addition, while the cooker body 10 is heated to perform cooking, the hinge shaft 30 coated with the reversible discoloration paint 32 is heated while being heated through the bracket 20. Therefore, when the hinge shaft 30 is heated to 45 degrees or more, the color of the reversible discoloration paint 32 changes, and thus, the heating state of the cooker main body 10 can be visually confirmed. In addition, since the color of the reversible discoloration paint 32 of the hinge shaft 30 is maintained for a predetermined time even when the cooking appliance is lowered from the heater, the user is careful to see this.

When the cooker main body 10 cools and the hinge shaft 30 also drops to a temperature of 45 degrees or less, the color of the reversible discoloration paint 32 gradually returns to an initial state. As a result, it is possible to visually check the temperature change of the foldable cookware, and even after the cooking is finished, the temperature of the cooker body 10 and the handle 40 can be measured by looking at the color of the reversible discoloration paint 32 to prevent safety accidents. can do.

On the other hand, when the handle 40 is to be folded to store the cooking utensils, as shown in FIG. 6, first, the stopper 60 is lifted to the front side (the arrow A direction in FIG. 6) to stop the stop 63. It is taken out from the space at the back side of the button accommodation part 44. In this state, the rear end of the locking button 50 is pressed (in the direction of the arrow B in FIG. 6) to raise the front end thereof.

Therefore, the locking pin 52 is released from the center-locking hole 23, and in this state by pushing the handle 40 to the right to rotate. {At this time, since the tip of the bracket 20 and the handle 40 are in line contact with the upper and lower guide protrusions 25a and 25b, the rotation of the handle 40 is in contact with the surface. Relatively more naturally.}

As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the handle 40 can be folded by turning the handle 40 to the right about the hinge shaft 30 (see arrow direction in FIG. 6). In addition, when the locking pin 52 is inserted into the side-locking hole 24 while the handle 40 is folded, the handle 40 is maintained in a folded state. That is, since the handle 40 is locked again through the locking pin 52, the handle 40 cannot be unfolded without being released. Then, when the stopper 60 is lowered back to insert the stop-protrusion 63 into the rear space of the button-receiving portion 44, the locking button 50 cannot be operated.

In addition, when the handle 40 is extended to the center and the cooker is to be used again, the locking pin 50 is pressed from the side-locking hole 24 by pressing the rear end of the locking button 50 while the stopper 60 is pivoted forward. When the 52 is separated, the handle 40 can be easily extended to the center and fixed in position.

As described in detail above, according to the cooking utensil having a folding handle according to the present invention; The handle coupled to the bracket of the cooker body through the hinge shaft can be folded and stored in a horizontal direction, thereby minimizing the space occupied by the cooking utensils during storage and facilitating storage.

In addition, in the present invention, the locking button operating in the form of up and down seesaw can be locked or released as it is in a folded state or an unfolded state, and thus there is an effect of maximizing the convenience of use and safety of the product.

In addition, in the present invention, a stopper for the locking button is installed, even if the locking button is inadvertently pressed, the operation thereof can be prevented, thereby preventing the safety accident.

In addition, in the present invention, since the tip of the handle and the bracket of the cooker main body are in line contact, there is an advantage that the rotation of the handle is made easier.

In addition, in the present invention, since the reversible discoloration coating is coated on the hinge shaft to fold the handle foldable, the user can easily check the heating state of the cooking appliance with the naked eye.
