VESSEL COVER 'Filed May 17, 1954 Bnnentor Bg JM Gttorneg Patented Feb. 11, 1936 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE y 4 Claims.
This invention relates to covers for culinary vessels of the type in which a portion of the cover is constructed so that liquid may be drained from the vessel and wherein an auxiliary cover is provided for closing the drainage portion.
One object of the invention is to provide such a cover With means for holding the auxiliary cover in tight fitting engagement with the main cover to close the drainagearea.
Another object of the invention is to provide means for holding `the auxiliary cover in position above the drainage area when it is raised therefrom.
These and other objects as may hereinafter appear are attained by the devices illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which,
Fig. 1 is a plan View of the cover embodying the invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional View on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1 showing the auxiliary cover in closed position on the main cover.
Fig. 3 is a sectional view on an enlarged scale showing the auxiliary cover held in raised position.
Referring to the drawing wherein similar parts in the several views are designated by similar numerals, I 5 indicates the main cover which may be of any desired contour but as shown is preferably constructed with a wide rim I I so as to enable the cover to be used on vessels of varying diameters. Adjacent the rim II and connected thereto by an upstanding portion I2 is an annular depressed portion I3. Located in the depressed portion I3 and the upturned portion I2 within a conned area are a series of apertures I4 through which liquid may be drained. It is essential in the construction of the cover that the upstanding portion I2 be provided with apertures for when a vessel is tilted in order to drain off a liquid, the apertures in the upstanding portion I2 aid in carrying off any liquid which other- Wise would be held in the depressed portion I3.
At I5 I have shown an auxiliary cover which is adapted to t the depressed portion I3 and is suiliciently large to cover the apertured area. Normally the auxiliary cover I5 will lie on the main cover I0 and close the apertured area, however I will later describe a means for retaining the auxiliary cover in tight fitting engagementv with the main cover.
The cover I5 is hingedly connected to the main cover I0 at a point interiorly of the apertured area. As a preferred means of connecting the covers I utilize a hinge joint shown generally at I'I which comprises the leaves I8 and I9 connected by a pintle 24. The hinge leaf I8 is connected to the main cover I0 and the leaf I9 is connected to the auxiliary cover I5 by any suitable means. The free end of the leaf I8 is bent so as to form a hook 20, the function of which will later be brought out.
In order to hold the auxiliary cover I5 in raised position when it is desired to use the cover as a drainer, I have provided a spring member 2 I. In the embodiment disclosed the member 2| comprises a wire bent into rectangular shape and further bent into a substantial U shape with a coiled portion 25 midway between its ends to give resiliency. Other modifications of the member 2l may obviously be used, the essential feature being that it have a bowed or substantial U shape.
The spring member 2| is pivotally attached to the hinge leaf I9 at 22. When it is desired to hold the cover I5 in raised position, the free end 23 of the spring 2I is held by the hook portion 2U of the spring leaf I8.
The pintle 24 of the hinge joint hereinbefore referred to, has another function. The pintle 24 comprises a wire bent into the form of a bail the free ends of which are inserted into the joint of the hinge, and function as the hinge pintle.
The loop portion of the member 24 encloses the U shaped spring member 2l when the cover I5 is in closed position and may be pressed against the spring 2I to hold the cover I5 in tight engagement with the main cover Ii), as best shown in Fig. 2. When it is desired to raise the auxiliary cover I5, the member 24 may be thrown back over the spring 2| to the position as shown in Fig. 3 so that the spring member 2I is free to pivot.
Having thus explained the several parts and operation of my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. The combination of a cover for culinary vessels having a perforated area adjacent its edge, of an auxiliary cover for normally closing the perforated area, a hinge joint, one leaf of the hinge being fixed to the main cover and its free end being bent to provide a hook, the other leaf o-f the hinge being fixed to the auxiliary cover, a spring member having one end pivotally connected to one leaf of the hinge joint and its other end being free and adapted to be held by the hook on the other leaf of the hinge joint when the auxiliary cover is in raised position.
2. The combination of a cover for culinary vessels having a perforated area adjacent its edge, of an auxiliary cover for normally closing the perforated area, a hinge joint, one leaf of the hinge being fixed to the main cover and its free end being bent to provide a. hoek, the other leaf of the hinge being fixed to the auxiliary cover, a substantially U shaped spring member having one end pivotally connected to one leaf of the hinge joint and its other end being free and adapted toy be held by the hook on the other leaf of the hinge joint When the auxiliary cover is in raised position.
3. The combination of a cover for culinary Vessels having a perforated area adjacent its edge, of an auxiliary cover for normally closing the perforated area, a hinge joint connecting the said covers, a substantially U shaped spring member having one end pivotally connected to one leaf of the hinge, the pintle of the hinge comprising a Wire bent into the form of a bail and adapted to press against the U shaped spring member and hold the auxiliary cover tightly against the perforated area in the main` cover.
4. In a cover for culinary vessels, the combination of a main cover and an auxiliary cover, the main cover being pro-vided with a perforated area adjacent its edge, the auxiliary cover being hingedly connected with the main cover and adapted to normally close the perforated area in the main cover, a substantially U shaped spring member having one end pivotally connected t0 the auxiliary cover, a second spring member forming the pintle of the hinge connection between the said covers and adapted to cooperate With the U shaped spring member to hold the auxiliary cover in close fitting engagement With the main cover.
