Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to cooking vessel lid holders, and more particularly to a cooking vessel lid holder with an apparatus for the collection of moisture.
- cooking vessel lid holders are utilized during the cooking process or after washing the lid. Such lid holders typically prop the lid into a generally upright orientation, though there are many designs that depart from this feature. Moisture, in the form of condensate or rinse water from the dish washing process, is thus allowed to drip from the vessel lid and collect on a counter top or stove top. The resulting moisture must be removed from the surface. If it is allowed to collect, it can cause water spots from mineral deposits, and, in some cases cause damage to grout in tile counter tops or to wood counter tops.

Description
- The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/648,772, filed Feb. 1, 2005 (Feb. 1, 2006).
- Not applicable.
- Not applicable.
- Not applicable.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to cooking vessel lid holders, and more particularly to a cooking vessel lid holder with an apparatus for the collection of moisture.
- 2. Discussion of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR §§1.97, 1.98
- Commonly, cooking vessel lid holders are utilized during the cooking process or after washing the lid. Such lid holders typically prop the lid into a generally upright orientation, though there are many designs that depart from this feature. Moisture, in the form of condensate or rinse water from the dish washing process, is thus allowed to drip from the vessel lid and collect on a counter top or stove top. The resulting moisture must be removed from the surface. If it is allowed to collect, it can cause water spots from mineral deposits, and, in some cases cause damage to grout in tile counter tops or to wood counter tops.
- Display racks and lid holders are well known in the art. In each instance, the holders or racks are constructed of a stand or base, suspending a cradling or hanging mechanism for the lid. The following patents are representative of the current art.
- U.S. Design Pat. No. Des. 304,280, to Leighton, teaches an ornamental design for combination a pot lid holder and utensil holder.
- U.S. Design Pat. No. Des. 207,453, to Stocco, teaches a metal wire frame pot lid holder with a rectangular base and spaced-apart arms. It holds a pot lid in a generally upright orientation, but it lacks a reservoir for catching drips, or what may be termed a “drip boat.”
- U.S. Pat. No. 874,917, to Timberlake, describes a display rack for supporting plate-like structures, and which includes a braided metal frame having decorative looped feet and spaced support legs. It may support a pot lid in a generally upright orientation, but it does not provide any means for catching and collecting liquid drips.
- U.S. Design Pat. No. Des. 282,323, to Fetty, discloses a lid holder constructed of two horizontal semicircles attached by vertical rods. U.S. Pat. No. 4,893,771, to Kaneshiro, discloses a lid holder comprised of a stand and a cradle for the lid. And U.S. Design Pat. No. to Kinsley, et al, shows a wire pot lid holder. However, each of these references describe devices for holding a vessel lid in a generally horizontal position, thus obviating the need for a drip collection device.
- The foregoing patents reflect the current state of the art of which the present inventor is aware. Reference to, and discussion of, these patents is intended to aid in discharging Applicant's acknowledged duty of candor in disclosing information that may be relevant to the examination of claims to the present invention. However, it is respectfully submitted that none of the above-indicated patents disclose, teach, suggest, show, or otherwise render obvious, either singly or when considered in combination, the invention described and claimed herein. Specifically, the aforementioned patents do not teach a cooking vessel lid holder that incorporates an apparatus to capture moisture. Further, none of the aforementioned patents teaches, discloses, or suggests a cooking vessel lid holder having hinged frame members that enable folding of the apparatus for storage in a kitchen drawer having a typical depth. A need remains, therefore, for an apparatus that elegantly, simply, and conveniently supports a vessel lid in an upright orientation while simultaneously collecting moisture running vertically off the lid surfaces, and further having means to collapse the lid holder for storage in a drawer.
- The present invention is a cooking vessel lid holder with a removable drip collection receptacle. In a first preferred embodiment, the present invention comprises a frame assembly including two vertically disposed rod members comprising a front and a rear upright for supporting a leaning cooking vessel lid or other plate-like article. The uprights are dimensioned to hold lids falling within the range of sizes used on pots and pans found in an ordinary residential kitchen; i.e., between roughly 4 inches and 12 inches in diameter. However, it will be understood that there is nothing imperative in the particular or desired sizes, as the novel features of the present invention pertain to such apparatus in any size. Additionally, the present invention is not adapted for use strictly with round plate-like articles. Any suitably sized generally planar article could be supported in the inventive apparatus, whether round, square, or alternatively shaped.
- The front and rear uprights of the inventive apparatus each have upper and lower portions, the lower portions forming a configuration comprising a base permitting the frame assembly to be placed on a flat surface so that the entire assembly is a substantially upright position. Each upright further includes first and second arms which extend upwardly and slightly outwardly from the base portion to the upper portion. The rear upright preferably includes a transverse stabilizing rod which extends between its arms and may also include structure which facilitates removable placement of the apparatus on a wall hook.
- Preferably the rear upright bends at its lower portion into an integral foot extending forwardly to and beyond a lower bend formed at the lower portion of the front upright member. The lower bend of the front upright and the foot of the rear upright may be welded or otherwise affixed to provide increased stability.
- Additionally, the frame assembly includes first and second rounded shoulders, each comprising a truncated oval, and each shoulder having interior ends welded to the front and rear uprights to create a rigid frame structure. The shoulders also cooperate with the uprights to provide means for capturing and retaining a drip collection receptacle, or drip boat, which is employed to hold the lower portion of the lid's rim and to collect condensation or liquid which runs off the vessel lid.
- When laid on either its front or rear upright members, the frame assembly is small enough to fit within a conventionally sized kitchen drawer. However, in an alternative embodiment, the front and rear uprights include hinges in each arm to allow folding of the rear arms forwardly and the front arms rearwardly, thus creating a compact frame structure suitable to placement in shallow or low profile drawer.
- Finally, the inventive apparatus includes hinges in both the front and rear upright members that allow for selective folding of the apparatus for storage in a low profile kitchen drawer.
- It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a new and improved cooking vessel lid holder suitable for holding cooking vessel lids or other plate-like objects in an generally upright orientation.
- It is another object of the present invention to provide a new and improved cooking vessel lid holder having means to capture and collect drips from water or other liquid runoff from the surfaces of a lid or plate.
- A further object or feature of the present invention is a new and improved cooking vessel lid holder that collapses for easy storage in a conventional kitchen drawer.
- Other novel features which are characteristic of the invention, as to organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof will be better understood from the following description considered in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the invention are illustrated by way of example. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for illustration and description only and are not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention. The various features of novelty that characterize the invention are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming part of this disclosure. The invention does not reside in any one of these features taken alone, but rather in the particular combination of all of its structures for the functions specified.
- Certain terminology and derivations thereof may be used in the following description for convenience in reference only, and will not be limiting. For example, words such as “upward,” or “upwardly”, “downward,” or “downwardly”, “left,” and “right” would refer to directions in the drawings to which reference is made unless otherwise stated. Similarly, words such as “inward”, “inwardly”, and “outward” or “outwardly” would refer to directions toward and away from, respectively, the geometric center of a device or area and designated parts thereof. References in the singular tense include the plural, and vice versa, unless otherwise noted.
