Description

The useful model belongs to household items, namely to appliances used in the kitchen, in particular to electric kettles.

Currently, various teapots containing a teapot body and a teapot lid are widely known.

Water is poured into such kettles, as a rule, through the neck with a pre-opened or removed lid. Kettle lids are removable or can be opened in different ways, for example, by lifting the handle or pressing a button located on the kettle body.

Thus, from the state of the art, a kettle that is heated on a kitchen stove is known, which contains a body and a removable cover with a hole, which is the outlet of the exhaust duct and is not used for pouring water into the kettle (КИ 128972, 20.06.2013).

An electric kettle is also known from the state of the art, containing a body and a lifting lid, which opens by pressing a button located outside the lid of the kettle (KO 146062, 27.09.2014 or EE. 2810642, 28.12.2001).

However, known teapot lids are quite unreliable in use, since multiple lifting and lowering of the teapot lid, firstly, takes time, and secondly, the fastening parts (including the closing mechanism) are subject to rapid wear and may break if handled carelessly. In addition, when pouring water into the kettle, known kettle lids are inconvenient for both ordinary users and users with disabilities.

Closest to the claimed utility model is a kettle lid comprising a housing in which a water inlet is formed, a water baffle movably located below said water inlet, and a closing mechanism that exerts a resilient driving force on the water baffle to secure closing the water inlet with a water partition, and under the action of the weight of the water in the water inlet, the mentioned water partition opens the water inlet (KO 183119 1, 11.09.2018, see abstract, formula, fig. 1-2) .

Disadvantages of the closest to the declared useful model of the lid of the kettle are unreliability in use, since the known lid contains one partition and, accordingly, one closing mechanism, which are subject to rapid wear during repeated use, and

They can break if handled carelessly. In addition, the presence of a limited (small) inlet for pouring water is inconvenient when pouring water for both ordinary users and users with disabilities.

The task and technical result of the declared useful model is to increase reliability and durability due to the use of an elastic non-return valve, which provides the possibility of pouring water into the kettle without removing or opening the lid.

The problem is solved by the fact that the lid of the kettle contains a body in which an inlet for pouring water is formed, a partition for water located under the said inlet for pouring water, which, under the action of the weight of the water in the inlet for pouring water, opens the inlet for pouring water, according to in a useful model, the mentioned partition for water is made in the form of a valve made of elastic material, in the normal position, the opening at the end of the specified valve is closed by closed parts, under the action of the weight of the water in the water inlet, the specified parts diverge, and when the supply to the water inlet is stopped, the specified parts converge due to the force of elasticity, which returns them to their normal position.

In a preferred embodiment, the lid body has a round shape or an oval shape or a square shape.

In a preferred embodiment, the lid body may have at least two flaps of resilient material.

The useful model claimed is explained by the drawings, where in fig. 1 shows the general view of the design of the lid of the kettle with a partition (top view); in fig. 2 shows the design of the lid of the kettle with a partition in the normal, closed position (side view); in fig. C shows the construction of the lid of the kettle with a partition in the open position (side view); in fig. 4 shows the construction of the lid of the kettle with a partition in a separate form (top view).

As shown in fig. 1, the claimed lid of the kettle contains a body 1 in which an inlet for pouring water is formed. The body 1 of the lid of the kettle in the best version has a round shape (Fig. 1). At the same time, the indicated case 1 of the lid of the kettle, in the best version, can be square or oval (not shown in the drawings). The entrance for pouring water, in the best version,

can be located over the entire area of the body 1 of the lid of the kettle and, in the best version, is a round hole. At the same time, the indicated entrance for pouring water can have a different form of execution, depending on the shape of the body 1 of the lid of the kettle. The size of the entrance for pouring water should ensure unhindered pouring of water into the kettle and can vary from 1 cm to the size of M, commensurate with the size of the lid of the kettle, in the best option up to 18 cm.

Accordingly, the size of the partition 2 for water can be from 1 cm to 18 cm, in particular, the optimal size can be chosen from 5 cm to 15 cm. When filling water into the kettle, the operation of the partition 2 for water will be carried out both in the case of weak pressure and in the case of a water jet pressure not directed exactly inside the partition, since both in that and in the other case, the valve Z of the partition 2 will open and let water in. At the same time, the reliability and durability of the declared kettle lid is due to the fact that the mechanical element of the partition is replaced by a non-return valve made of elastic material, the physical wear of which in the necessary operating conditions (high humidity) occurs much later than the physical wear of the metal spring used in the closest analogue. At the same time, it should be taken into account that the number of valves from partition 2 is due to technological possibilities, 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, ... Z.p) made of elastic material. When it is necessary to pour water, the kettle is placed under the faucet, while the water is poured into the inlet for pouring water. Under the action of the weight of the water, the valves (3.1, 3.2, ... Z.p) of the partition 2 for water overcome the elastic force, thus opening the inlet for pouring water.

The water baffle 2 is preferably located below said water inlet. The aforementioned partition 2 for water, in the best version, is made in the form of valves (3.1, 3.2, ... 3.p) made of elastic material, having a funnel-shaped shape. These valves are elastic non-return valves that serve to allow liquid to flow into the kettle during water supply and prevent liquid from spilling back, as well as protect against foreign objects, dust and air suspension entering the kettle. In the normal position, the opening at the end of each valve Z is closed by closed parts (Fig. 2). At the same time, under the influence of the weight of the water in the inlet for pouring water, the closed parts of the valve C diverge (Fig. 3). When the supply to the inlet for filling water is stopped, the specified parts of the valve C converge due to the force of elasticity, which returns them to their normal position. The number of valves (3.1, 3.2, ... Z.p) made of elastic material, in the best version, can vary from 1 to M (Fig. 4). The specified valves (3.1, 3.2, ... Z.p.), in the best version, can be made of various types of rubber and other polymeric materials permissible for contact with food products (PVC, PE, etc.), as well as their combinations. Making the partition for water in the form of at least one valve 3 made of elastic material increases the reliability and durability of using the kettle. In addition, due to the implementation of a 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 for both ordinary users and users with disabilities.

The claimed useful model is implemented as follows. The kettle is placed under the tap and the tap is turned on. At the same time, the kettle can be both electric and simply metal for use on stoves (gas, induction, electric, etc.). The flow of water is directed to the lid of the kettle, which, in the best version, has an entrance for pouring water over its entire area. As the weight of water on valve 3 increases, the closed parts of the valve will move apart, opening the inlet for water to fill. When the supply to the inlet for pouring water is stopped, the specified parts of the valve C will converge due to elastic forces, returning them to their normal position, thus automatically closing the inlet for pouring water into the kettle.

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