Abstract

In a pot, saucepan or frying pan (1) - with an upper edge (2) and with a belonging lid (3) with a lower circumferential edge (4), which can rest against the edge (2), - the pot/pan (1) is internally at a short distance from the edge (2) embodied with a number of holding organs (6) evenly distributed along the circumference, which can be embodied as cylinder-shaped pins (8), and the lid (3) at the bottom along the edge (4) is embodied with gripping organs (7) of the same number as the number of holding organs and provided with a V-shaped groove (11), which in a first position can engage each with its own pin (8), when the lid (3) is put on the pot (1) and turned, and at the same time lift the lid (3), a distance (a) above the pot. The underside of each gripping organ is embodied with an edge (15) of the shape of an inverted U and which in the second position can rest against the top side, each of its own pin (8). In the first and second positions of the lid steam generated during the cooking process can escape so that squirt-cooking is avoided. In the first position the pot with belonging lid can be tilted so that water can be poured from a dish without manual contact with the lid.

Description

Pot, saucepan or frying pan with belonging lid.
The present invention relates to a pot, saucepan or frying pan with belonging lid.
Preparation of dishes over even a low fire will cause generation of steam. When the lid on a pot or pan of the known kind is on, the generation of steam will cause periodic lifting of the lid, which in turn will cause some of the contents in the pot or pan to squirt out of the pot or pan. Attempts to try to avoid this by placing the lid in a slanting position, leaving an opening between the lid and the pot/pan in one side, may cause the lid to fall back to the closed position.
It is one purpose of the present invention to describe a pot or pan with a belonging lid, which does not have the said drawbacks. This is achieved by embodying the pot/pan with a belonging lid as described in the characterising part of claim 1. In the first and second positions of the lid the steam generated during the cooking process can be released so that squirt-cooking is avoided. In the first position the pot together with the lid can be tilted, so that water from the pot/pan can be poured out without touching the lid by the hand.
Claim 2 relates to a preferred positioning and embodying of holding organs and gripping organs for a pot/pan with belonging lid according to the invention.
Claim 3 relates to a preferred embodiment and positioning of the handle of the lid of a pot/pan with belonging lid according to the invention, and
claim 4 relates to a preferred embodiment and positioning of handles for a pot/pan with belonging lid according to the invention.
The invention is explained in detail below with reference to the drawing in which
fig. 1 shows a pot or saucepan and - lifted above the pot - a belonging lid according to the invention, shown from the side.
fig. 2 shows the pot viewed from above.
fig. 3 shows the pot with the lid lifted, viewed in perspective,
fig. 4 shows a pan and - raised above the pan - a belonging lid according to the invention, viewed from the side. fig. 5 shows a lid for a pot according to the invention, seen in the direction of the arrows l-l in fig 1 ,
fig. 6 is a larger scale view of a holding organ and a gripping organ for a pot or pan according to the invention, in which the gripping organ is out of grip with the holding organ and the lowest edge of the lid is resting against the upper edge of the pot/pan,
fig. 7 is an illustration corresponding to the one shown in fig. 6 in which the gripping organ is engaging the holding organ, and the lid is lifted a distance above the upper edge of the pot/pan, and
fig. 8 is an illustration in which the gripping organ is disengaged from the holding organ, but placed upon it, whereby the under side of the lid is lifted to a higher position above the upper edge in relation to the position shown in fig. 7.
As shown, a pot or saucepan or frying pan 1 has an upper edge 2, A belonging lid 3 has a lower, circumferential edge 4 resting against the edge 2, when the lid is on, and a cylinder-shaped guiding surface 5 of a slightly smaller outer diameter than the internal upper diameter of the pot 1. A short distance from the upper edge 2 the pot/pan is embodied with a number, e.g. three, of holding organs 6 arranged with an equal distance from each other.
At its bottom the lid 3 is embodied along the edge 4 with a number of holding organs corresponding to the number of gripping organs 7, which are arranged along the edge 4 and which can be fixed to the guiding surface 5, The gripping organs 7 are embodied and arranged so that, when the lid is put on the pot or pan by a turning movement of the lid in a first position they can engage each with its own holding organ, whereby the lid 3 simultaneously is lifted, so that the lower edge 4 of the lid 3 is lifted a distance a above the upper edge 2 of the pot or pan 1.
In a second position the lower edge of a gripping organ 7, when it is not engaging a holding organ 6, can be placed with its lower edge 15 on top of a holding organ 6, in which position the lid 3 is lifted so that the under edge 4 of the lid 3 is lifted a distance A above the upper edge 2 of the pot or pan. In stead of being mounted in the lid 3 the gripping organs can be mounted in the pot 1 , and the holding organs 6 can be correspondingly arranged in the lid 3 in stead of in the pot 1.
The holding organs 6 are preferably arranged in the pot or pan 1 with the same distance from the upper edge 2 of the pot. As shown, they can be embodied as cylinder-shaped pins 8, which are oriented with their centre line in the direction of the centre of the pot or pan 1. There may for example be three holding organs which are arranged with an equal angle of 120° between them.
The gripping organs 7 are preferably arranged in the lid 3. They may be embodied as plate pieces 9, which are bent to fit and to be attached to the guiding surface 5. The plate pieces 9 are under the bottom edge 10 of the guiding surface 5 embodied with a V-shaped groove 11 , which at the bottom is delimited when in the cooking position by a horizontal edge 12 and at the top by an oblique edge 13, and these two edges engage each other at a curvature 14 of the same or slightly larger diameter than a pin 8.
As shown in fig. 7 a gripping organ - when the lid 3 is placed on the pot or pan 1 - can by a turning movement by means of a handle 18 of the lid 3 grip a holding organ 6, whereby the lid 3 is held firmly to the pot in the vertical direction and at the same time be lifted from the pot, so that the lower edge 4 of the lid has a distance from the upper edge of the pot, thus producing a slit between the pot and the lid. Steam generated during the use of the pot or pan can therefore escape through the slit whereby squirt- boiling is prevented. This also prevents parts of the dish under preparation from being ejected together with the steam from the cooking or frying tool. The pot or pan can as shown be embodied with two handles arranged on opposite sides of the pot or pan. If, for example, when potatoes are to be cooked and water is to be emptied, it is therefore possible to do this without manual contact with the lid, when the gripping organs are engaged in the holding organs.
The gripping organs 7 have a lower edge 15, which can be embodied as an inverted U with a curved or plane centre section 16 and a projecting edge 17 in both sides from the centre section 16.
As shown in fig. 8 a gripping organ 7 can be placed with their lower edge 15 on top of a holding organ 6, whereby the lid 3 is held with its lower edge 4 at a longer distance A from the upper edge 2 of the pot or pan 1. The wider slit produced in this way permits a larger quantity of steam to escape, and this position can therefore be used when a harder cooking process is requirec
The shown and described pot or pan with belonging lid serves only the pu of illustrating the invention. Within the scope of the invention it is possible imaging various modifications. For instance, the holding and gripping orgε might be arranged on the outside of the pot/pan and the lid, respectively.
