Definitions

• the invention relates to a cover for frying pans or the like.
• Vessels which is optionally provided with a handle or lifting ring.
• lids mostly made of metal, are common in saucepans, but significantly inhibit the roasting process when used on frying pans; if the person cooking, for example as a splash guard, places the cover on the frying pan, the oxygen conditions in the frying pan itself are changed, to the disadvantage of the roasting process.
• Splash guard represents and on the other hand does not inhibit the frying process itself but may still have an advantageous effect.
• a cover which has at least one absorbent and at least partially air-permeable surface made of filter paper, filter wadding, fabric or the like material leads to the solution of this task. Thanks to this requirement, the frying pan can now be covered and the oxygen supply can still be maintained.
• the filter paper can be, for example, that which is known for the filtration of coffee or the like, that is to say a material which is customary on the market and which can reduce the production costs for the cover.
• the cover it is also conceivable to provide the cover with openings which are overlapped by material parts, in the manner of so-called potato graters, since on the one hand these allow oxygen to pass through and on the other hand prevent the fat from splashing up.
• the cover preferably has at least one circumferential ring, on which the filter paper, filter wadding, fabric or the like is fixed.
• This circumferential ring can run in the plane of the cover itself or at approximately right angles to it. It has proven to be particularly favorable to interchangeably fix the circumferential ring lying in the plane of the cover into a circumferential ring at right angles to it.
• the cover then overlaps the pan spanned by it and is fixed outside of it in the vertical ring. According to the invention, this can be designed to be variable both with regard to the clamping height for the cover and with regard to the circumference of the pan to be covered.
• cover which is then produced according to the invention from a material disc, preferably from a cardboard sheet, for example by punching out areas subsequently spanned by filter paper or tissue, which are delimited by the circumferential ring of the cover and these reinforcing cross or radial arms.
• This embodiment is a disposable article which does not cause any particular complications either in manufacture or in use.
• the idea according to the invention also includes that the cover consists of a single mat made of the same material without a circumferential ring or reinforcing transverse or radial arms, with a handle or handle possibly being formed for lifting.
• Fig. 2 the enlarged radial section through Figure 1 along the line II - II;
• FIG. 3 an enlarged detail from FIG. 2 in an oblique view
• FIG. 4 one corresponding to the representation in FIG. 2
• FIG. 5 a partial top view of FIG. 4.
• a tongue-shaped tab 9, 10 has remained, each of which - also cut from the cardboard disc 4 during the punching process - is connected to that central field 8 with a narrow strip 11; the strip 11 is delimited on both sides by crease lines 12 and can be bent out of the pane plane E, as illustrated in FIG. 2.
• One tab 9 is provided with a plug-in projection 13 which - in the bent position of the tabs 9, 10 - can be inserted into a slot 14 of the counter-tab 10 in the direction x (FIG. 3) such that both tabs 9, 10 together form a supporting ring 15 form.
• a sheet 16 of filter cellulose is stretched and glued, which engages under the sector areas 5 - in other embodiments, the filter sheet 16 or a plurality of these may also span the cardboard disk 4
• the cardboard disc 4 is clamped at 20 in a ring 21, the radius e (Fig. 4) is variable.
• the free ends 22 of the adjusting ring 21 overlap one another and can be firmly connected to one another in a certain position by means of a clamping screw 23.
• FIG. 5 indicates that such cardboard discs 4 and the collar 21 may not only be circular, but also, for example, oval - the shape of the disc 4 can be chosen as a function of the roasting pan to be covered.
• the clamping height h can also be compared to that.
• Pan support 30 can be adjustable, for example, thanks to two concentrically arranged adjusting rings 21 which can be displaced relative to one another.
• the filter paper 16 can correspond approximately to that for coffee filters, but can also be provided with openings 40 (FIG. 2) over which punch tongues 41 extend.
• the section F in Fig. 2 clarifies that the filter paper is then approximately similar to the surface of a potato grater.
