Definitions
- the present invention relates to an egg cup for cooking eggs in a microwave. It is known that one can not cook an egg in its shell using a microwave oven. Only a fresh egg can be cooked without bursting. Indeed, if the slightest air cavity has formed, the brutal expansions of the air molecules cause this bursting.
- containers for cooking an egg in a microwave oven are generally composed of two parts: a receptacle provided with a base for receiving the egg or eggs to be cooked and a lid which can be fixedly attached to the receptacle, with or without locking.
- the receptacle is provided, near its opening, with hooking means and the cover comprises, at its opening, complementary hooking means, facing outwards.
- the hooking means of the receptacle are turned inwards, the hooking means and the hooking lugs being distributed at the periphery of the receptacle and of the cover in homologous positions and occupy only a fraction of the periphery respective less than half of this periphery, to allow the engagement of the tabs of the cover inside the receptacle then, by pivoting the engagement of the tabs under the homologous hooking members of the receptacle.
- the cover is moreover provided with imprints for the end of the fingers of one hand to allow the engagement of the cover and its rotation. relative to the receptacle as well as vents in the hollow of the cavities.
- the cover is fixed by locking the tabs in the hooking members of the lower part or egg cup itself. Locking is done by a slight rotational movement in one direction or the other.
- the opening is done under the same conditions of simplicity. It suffices to turn the lid relative to the egg cup, first of all exceeding the retaining force of the legs of the lid and the hooking members of the lower part of the egg cup.
- the calibrated orifices made in the fingerprint, allow steam and hot air to escape to avoid overpressure inside the egg cup.
- This communication between the interior and the exterior also facilitates the opening of the egg cup which, not being under vacuum, can easily be opened once the lid is unlocked relative to the receptacle.
- This egg cup although already very efficient, has drawbacks which can make its use delicate.
- the tremors due to microwave waves and the forces due to the pressure inside the egg cup combined with the expansion of the receptacle by the heat emitted by the egg succeed in disjoining and then unlocking the cover which is expelled and egg splashes can take place at the same time.
- the second consequence of this fault is that the user has to stop the cooking process, regardless of the actual state of the egg.
- the egg cup according to the invention aims to remedy this defect by proposing a system just as easy to implement for the user, but much more effective in use.
- the present invention thus relates to an egg cup for cooking eggs in a microwave oven comprising a receptacle for receiving the egg or eggs to be cooked and a cover which is fixed in an integral manner on the receptacle, the receptacle being provided, close of its opening of hooking means and the cover comprising, at its opening, complementary hooking means, the hooking means being distributed at the periphery of the receptacle and of the cover in homologous positions characterized in that the means for hooking the receptacle are turned towards the outside and are located on a crown of thickness less than the thickness of the receptacle in the vicinity of the opening of the receptacle, and in that the means for hooking the cover are turned inward are located on a crown of thickness less than one thickness of the receptacle in the vicinity of the opening of the cover.
- the attachment means consist of legs of complementary shapes and occupy only a fraction of the respective periphery, less than half of this periphery, to allow the engagement of the legs of the cover inside the receptacle. then, by pivoting, the engagement of the tabs under the homologous attachment members of the receptacle.
- the legs of the receptacle are constituted by a stop and a boss allowing the engagement of the legs of the cover passing over the boss and the blocking by the stop.
- the egg cup has a substantially uniform thickness in the closed position, in the vicinity of the openings.
- the egg cup is such that when it is closed, a cavity is left free at the base of the support ring for the means for hooking the receptacle.
- the material used for the cover can shrink by heating and / or the material used for the receptacle softens by heating, this change in configuration strengthening the locking.
- FIG. 1 is a half-section view of an egg cup according to the invention showing the receptacle (1) and the cover (2) in the closed position
- - Figure 2 shows the device in the closed position, seen in horizontal section .
- FIG. 3 is a half-section view on an enlarged scale showing the egg cup in the closed position
- FIG. 4A, 4B and 4C are front views of a variant of the lugs for hooking the receptacle, the cover and the assembly of the two legs
- FIG. 5 is a top view on an enlarged scale of a locking system on the receptacle.
- the invention relates to an egg cup formed of two parts, a receptacle 1 and a cover 2 which is fixed to the receptacle.
- the receptacle 1 is in the form of a cup provided with stabilization means (3), which can have the shape of feet.
- the receptacle Near its upper edge, the receptacle carries a crown (4) of thickness less than that of the receptacle and positioned on the smallest circumference of the receptacle.
- This crown (4) serves as support to the attachment means, which here consist of ribs oriented towards the outside of the receptacle.
- the cover (2) is ovoid in shape. It carries on its lower edge a crown (5), placed on its largest circumference and serving as a support for the attachment means complementary to those of the cover (1). These means are oriented towards the inside of the cover.
- Figure 3 is a half-section view on an enlarged scale showing the egg cup in the closed position. There are on the crowns (4) and (5) lugs (6) and (7). A cavity (8) is left empty in this arrangement. This cavity reinforces the locking during cooking. During this, the egg transmits part of the heat received to the receptacle. This transmitted heat makes the material used for this receptacle soften, which fills the cavity (8) and adds a locking point.
- FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4C represent variants of the attachment lug.
- FIG. 4A is a view of a tab arranged on the receptacle and comprising a horizontal element (41) attached to said receptacle at at least three regularly distributed points (42,43,44).
- the complementary element (45) has a length equal to the spacing between two attachment points, so that in the closed position ( Figure 4C), the two parts are in a fixed position.
- the height of the complementary element (45) is less than that of the fasteners (42,43,44) to create a cavity (46) according to the invention.
- These attachment members are preferably distributed equiangularly on the receptacle and the cover.
- Figure 5 shows a specific blocking system.
- the legs of the receptacle (1) consist of a stop (61) and a hump (62) allowing the engagement of the legs of the cover by passing over the hump (62) and the blocking by the stop.
- Figure 2 shows this device in the closed position.
- the cover 2 is hat-shaped so that, placed on the receptacle 1, the assembly has an ovoid shape, without roughness.
- the cover is put in place as follows:
- Said cover is placed on the receptacle, so that the hooking means are not in contact.
- the cover is then rotated on the receptacle until the tabs of the cover engage on those of the receptacle. This operation is allowed by the physical characteristics of the material used, which allows a slight deformation in the passage of the fastening means.
- the hooking members allow the cover to be locked.
- one engagement is made when the cover is placed on the receptacle, without rotation of said cover.
- the opening is done by the reverse process, under the same conditions of simplicity.
- the egg cup according to the invention as described above is preferably made by molding in a food plastic, for example polypropylene.
- This plastic material can be chosen so that its softening during heating is controlled and allows optimal fixing of the cover on the receptacle.
