Abstract
A lid strap device for securing a cover to a bowl wherein the bowl has opposing projecting lips serving as handles, said strap device having an elastic strap portion with apertures at each end with a pair of detachable hooks, said hooks having a first hook portion looping in one direction and a second hook portion looping in the opposing direction so that the first hook portion may be looped into the apertures of the strap and the other hook portion may be looped about the projecting handles of the bowl, said hooks being of relatively rigid material to secure their so as to secure their looping about the apertures of the strap and the handles of the bowl.
Description
- This invention relates to lid strap apparatus more particularly this invention relates to a lid strap device overlying a cover of a bowl wherein the strap is elastic and has opposing detachable hooks at each end to detachably mount over the handles of the cover and bowl.
- It is an object of this invention to provide a novel strap apparatus to secure a cover of a bowl or vessel to the handles of the bowl or vessel wherein the strap has separate independent detachable hooks which attach to the strap at one end and the handles at the other end.
- It is a further object of the invention to provide a novel cover strap which has a more secure hook attachment which prevents easy unintentional detachment from the handles of the bowl or vessel. Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent as the description proceeds and when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings wherein.
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the current invention illustrating the elastic strap covering the cover of the bowl or vessel with detachable hooks. -
FIG. 2 is a side view of the current strap invention. -
FIG. 3 is a top view the elastic strap of the current strap invention. -
FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view taken along line 4-4 ofFIG. 3 . -
FIG. 5 is a top view of one of the detachable hooks to attach the ends of the strap over the cover of the bowl or vessel. -
FIG. 6 is the front view of one of the detachable hooks. -
FIG. 7 side view of one of the detachable hooks. - Referring more particularly to the drawings in
FIG. 1 the improvedstrap invention 20 being disclosed and claimed in this application has a main elasticflexible strap 21 with a pair ofdetachable hooks vessel 24 has acover 25. The cover and vessel have handles 26 and 26′ for thecover 25 and handles 27 and 27′ for thevessel 24. Thehook 22 hashook portion 22′ which is detachably mounted over thehandle 26 of the cover and thehandle 27 of the vessel. Thehook 23 hashook portion 23′ which is detachably mounted over thehandle 26′ of thecover 25 and thehandle 27′ of the vessel. Theelastic strap 21 has acenter aperture 28 to receive thecenter handle 29 of thecover 25 to allow to pass there thru as shown inFIG. 1 . - The
hooks hook portions elastic strap 21 has a pair ofslots 31 at each end. Thehook portions slots 31 of theelastic strap 21 as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . Thehooks hook portions 22′ and 23′ which is adapted toencircle handles cover 25 andvessel 24 and handles 26′ and 27′ at the other end of the cover and vessel to secure the cover over the vessel as shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 . - The
detachable hooks upward projecting lip strap 21, which has elastic capabilities to be stretched to expand so that the hook portions may be more readily to enable thehook portions 22′ and 23′ to be attached about and detached from the handles of the cover and vessel. - The
hooks - It may be possible in the event the cover over a skillet wherein some of the larger skillets or pans have a hook at one end and one of the
detachable hooks - The
hooks portion 22′ and 23′ have a configuration which closely follows the projecting handles of a bowl or vessel so as to provide a more secure stable means of securely keeping the cover to the bowl. - The
lips horizontal ribs 33 along their concave portions to provide additional frictional surfaces for the fingers or thumbs to engage as shown inFIG. 7 . - It will be obvious that various changes and departures may be made to the invention without departing from the spirit and scope thereof; and accordingly, it is not intended that the invention be limited to that specifically described in the specification or as illustrated in the drawings, but only as set forth in the appended claims wherein:
