Figure 1 shows a protruding portion 71 of a cooking appliance 70. Only a part of the cooking appliance 70 is shown in the drawing. This projection 71 has a rectangular mounting aperture 73 extending substantially parallel to its inner edge 72. The projection 71 extends generally horizontally outwardly from the cooking appliance 70, having an outer edge 74 that is substantially parallel to its inner edge 72.

Fig. 1 also discloses a case where a detachable handle 10 is attached to the cooking appliance 70, and Figs. 2 and 3 show the appearance and the disassembled state of the detachable handle 10. The removable handle 10 includes a rigid, low-thickness plate member 20, The plate member 20 is coupled to the front end of a grip portion 30. The plate member 20 is made of a rigid stainless steel material; the grip portion 30 is molded of a hard plastic. At the front end of the grip portion 30, there is a flat chamber 31. The plate member 20 includes a flat plate portion 21 inserted into the chamber 31, and has an opening 22 at the rear end of the flat plate portion 21, and a bottom portion at the bottom of the grip portion 30. The different diameter hole 32, a fastener 33 having a small outer diameter and a large rear portion is inserted into the opening 22 from the different diameter hole 32, thereby fixing the plate member 20 to the grip portion 30. The front end of the plate member 20 is a curved S-shaped nose 23 whose end portion can pass downward through the mounting hole 73 from the upper surface of the protruding portion 71. The width of the nose 23 is substantially equal to the length of the mounting hole 73. Thus, from the front end to the rear end, the handle 10 is a flat plate portion 21 followed by the grip portion 30. The rear end of the grip portion 30 forms a loop 34 for suspending the removable handle 10 on the hook for storage.

At the front end of the grip portion 30, the handle 10 has a locking device 40. The device is continuously urged toward the nose 23 by a resilient means 50 assembled in the grip portion 30. The locking device 40 has a control knob 41 above the flat plate portion 21 and is spaced apart from the flat plate portion 21 by the thickness of a protruding portion 71. The locking device 40 has a pawl 42 for mating with the outer edge 74 of the projection 71 while also having a slider 43 that interconnects the control button 41 with the pawl 42. The slider 43 is slidably mounted in a rectangular groove 24 formed in the plate member 20 located in the grip portion 30.

On the inner side wall of the grip portion 30, there are respectively notches 35 that open to the front end surface of the grip portion 30 and intersect the chamber 31 in a cross shape. The notches 35 are formed by walls parallel to the axis of the removable handle 10, which are spaced a small distance from the slider 43 to avoid obstructing the sliding of the slider 43 on the plate member 20. The width of the notch 33 is larger than the width of the rectangular groove 24.

As is apparent from Fig. 3, the slider 43 has two side grooves 44 parallel to the axis, and the two side edges 25 of the rectangular groove 24 are accommodated in the two side grooves 44. The control button 41 located at the front end of the grip portion 30 is a curved plate, and the slider 43 is connected by a tab 45.

The locking device 40 is preferably constructed as a single member. In this position, the slider 43 bears against the front edge of the rectangular groove 24, which is in the same plane as the front end face of the grip portion 30. In addition, the control knob 41 extends forward on the outer end portion of the plate member 20. When a hand power is applied to the front end surface of the control knob 41 against the rear end of the grip portion 30 against the force of the spring, the slider 43 slides toward the rear end of the rectangular groove 24, and the tab 45 enters the chamber 31, and the card The claw 42 partially enters the notch 35 formed on the front end face of the grip portion 30, and in the retracted position of the locking device 40, the control knob 41 covers the front end of the grip portion 30, and the claw 42 is separated from the outer edge 74 of the protruding portion 71. The detachable handle 10 can be separated from the protruding portion 71 of the cooking appliance 70.

As can be seen from Fig. 3, the plate member 20 has a flat plate portion 21 having a nose portion 23 at the front end and an opening 22 at the rear end. A rectangular groove 24 is cut between the flat plate portion 21 and the opening 22, and the slider 43 can slide in the groove.

In the above embodiment, the grip portion 30 of the detachable handle 10 is hardened. The material is molded, but the removable handle 10a as shown in Figs. 4 and 5 can be made of a hollow material holding portion 30a. In the present embodiment, in order to fit the grip portion 30a of the hollow structure, a nut 36 is assembled at the rear end of the plate member 20a, and a screw 26 is inserted into the grip portion from the end cap 37 coupled to the rear end of the grip portion 30a. The nut 36 is screwed to the nut 36, and the plate member 30a is coupled to the front end of the grip portion 30. Of course, it is also possible to provide a screw hole instead of the nut 36 directly at the rear end of the plate member 30a. Further, in the present embodiment, the control button 41a of the lock device 40a is an elliptical plate and is attached to the upper surface of the slider 43. In addition, the present embodiment is substantially the same as the above-described embodiment, and thus the same portions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the descriptions of the foregoing embodiments are also applicable to the present embodiment and will not be described again.
