Description

The utility model relates to household items, namely to the technique used in the kitchen, in particular to electric kettles.

Various kettles are currently widely known, comprising a kettle body and a kettle lid. Pouring water in such teapots, as a rule, is carried out through the neck with a previously open or removed lid. The lid of the kettle can be removable, or can be opened in various ways, for example, by lifting the handle or pressing the button located on the body of the kettle.

So, from the prior art, a kettle heated on a stove is known, comprising a housing and a removable lid with a hole that is an outlet of the exhaust duct and is not used to fill water into the kettle (RU 128972, 06/20/2013).

Also known from the prior art is an electric kettle comprising a housing and a lifting lid that can be opened by pressing a button located outside the lid of the kettle (RU 146062, 09.27.2014 or FR 2810642, 12.28.2001).

However, the well-known lid of the kettle is rather unreliable in use, because Repeatedly raising and lowering the kettle lid, firstly, takes time, and secondly, fasteners (including the closing mechanism) undergo rapid wear, and can be broken if handled carelessly. In addition, when pouring water into the kettle, the well-known lid of the kettle is inconvenient for both ordinary users and users with disabilities.

Closest to the claimed utility model is the lid of the kettle, comprising a housing in which an inlet for pouring water is formed, a partition for water movably located under said inlet for pouring water, and a closing mechanism exerting an elastic drive force on the partition for water to ensure closure by the partition for the water inlet for pouring water, and under the influence of the weight of the water in the inlet for pouring water, the mentioned water divider opens the entrance for pouring water (RU 183119 U1, 09/11/2018, see abstract, f formula, Fig. 1-2).

The disadvantages of the closest to the claimed utility model of the lid of the kettle are: insecurity in use, because The well-known lid contains one partition and, accordingly, one closing mechanism, which, when used repeatedly, undergoes rapid wear, and can be broken if handled carelessly. In addition, the presence of a limited (small) entrance for pouring water is inconvenient when pouring water, both for ordinary users and for users with disabilities.

The technical result of the claimed technical solution is to increase the reliability and durability of the kettle by using the lid of the kettle containing an elastic check valve, which allows pouring water into the kettle without removing or opening the lid.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that the lid of the kettle contains a housing in which an inlet for pouring water is formed, a partition for water located under the said inlet for pouring water, which, under the influence of the weight of the water in the inlet for pouring water, opens the inlet for pouring water, moreover said water baffle is made in the form of a valve of elastic material, in the normal position, the hole at the end of the valve is closed in closed parts, under the influence of the weight of the water in the inlet for filling said portions diverge water and at the termination of feed into the inlet for pouring water, said parts converge due to the elastic force which returns it to its normal position.

In a preferred embodiment, the lid body is round or oval or square.

In a preferred embodiment, the cover body may have at least two valves of elastic material.

The claimed technical solution is illustrated by drawings, where

In FIG. 1 - shows a General view of the structural design of the lid of the kettle with a partition (top view);

In FIG. 2 - shows a constructive implementation of the lid of the kettle with a partition in a normal, closed position (side view);

In FIG. 3 - shows a constructive implementation of the lid of the kettle with a partition in the open position (side view);

In FIG. 4 - shows a structural embodiment of the lid of the kettle with a partition in private form (top view).

As shown in FIG. 1, the claimed lid of the kettle contains a housing 1, in which an entrance for pouring water is formed. The kettle lid housing 1 is preferably

 made round shape (Fig. 1). Moreover, the specified case 1 of the lid of the kettle, preferably, can be square or oval (not shown in the drawings). The water inlet can preferably be located over the entire area of the kettle lid body 1 and is preferably a round hole. Moreover, the specified entrance for pouring water may have another form of execution, depending on the shape of the body 1 of the lid of the kettle. The size of the inlet for pouring water should provide unimpeded flow of water inside the kettle and can vary from 1 cm to a value of N, commensurate with the size of the lid of the kettle, preferably up to 18 cm. Accordingly, the size of the partition 2 for water can be from 1 cm to 18 cm , in particular, the size from 5 to 15 cm can be chosen as the optimal size. When water is drawn into the kettle, the partition 2 for water will work both in the case of a low pressure and in the case of a water jet not directed exactly to the middle of the partition, since in either case, the valve 3 of the partition 2 will open and let in water. At the same time, the reliability and durability of the claimed teapot lid is due to the fact that the mechanical element of the partition is replaced by a check valve made of elastic material, the physical wear of which in the required operating conditions (high humidity) occurs much later than the physical wear of the metal spring used in the prototype. It should be borne in mind that the number of valves 3 of the partition 2 is due to technological capabilities, as well as an aesthetic effect.

The body of the lid of the kettle also contains a partition for water, which is made in the form of valves (3.1, 3.2, ... 3.n) of an elastic material. When you need to pour water, the kettle is placed under the tap, while the water is poured into the entrance for pouring water. Under the influence of the weight of the water, the valves (3.1, 3.2, ... 3.n) of the partition 2 for water overcome the elastic force, thus opening the inlet for pouring water.

The water partition 2 is preferably located under said water inlet. Said water partition 2 is preferably made in the form of valves (3.1, 3.2, ... 3.n) of an elastic material having a funnel shape. These valves are elastic non-return valves, which serve to let liquids into the kettle when water is supplied and prevent the liquid from spilling back, and also protect against foreign objects, dust and air suspension from entering the kettle. In the normal position, the hole at the end of each valve 3 is closed by closed parts (Fig. 2). Moreover, under the influence of the weight of water in the inlet for pouring water, the closed parts of the valve 3 diverge (Fig. 3). When the supply to the water inlet is cut off, the indicated parts of the valve 3 converge due to the elastic force, which returns them to their normal position. The number of valves (3.1, 3.2, ... 3.n) of elastic material, preferably, can vary from 1 to N (Fig. 4). These valves (3.1, 3.2, ... 3.n), preferably, can be made of various types of rubbers and other elastic polymeric materials that are acceptable for contact with food products (PVC PE, etc.), as well as their combinations. The implementation of the water partition in the form of at least one valve 3 of elastic material, increases the reliability and durability of using the kettle. In addition, due to the implementation of the partition for water over the entire area of the body 1 of the lid of the kettle, the convenience of using the kettle when pouring water is increased, both for ordinary users and users with disabilities.

The claimed utility model is as follows. The kettle is placed under the tap and turn on the tap. At the same time, the kettle can be either electric or just metal for use on stoves (gas, induction, electric, etc.). The flow of water is directed to the lid of the kettle, which, preferably, over its entire area has an inlet for pouring water. As the weight of the water increases on valve 3, the closed parts of the valve will diverge, opening the inlet for pouring water. When the supply to the water inlet inlet is stopped, the indicated parts of the valve 3 will converge due to elastic forces, returning them to their normal position, thus automatically closing the water inlet to the kettle.

The claimed design of the lid of the kettle is quite simple, reliable, convenient and practical for all users and is suitable for general promotion.
