Description

SYSTEM OF OPENING AND CLOSURE WITH LEVER SERVOMECHANISM FOR PRESSURE COOKER.
The present invention relates to pressure cookers, more particularly cookers for the cooking of food or for sterilisation purposes, of the type comprising a pressure receptacle for the cooking and a flexible lid suitable for closing the receptacle from the inside, pressing against a circular seat formed inside the upper edge of the same receptacle.
Pressure cookers currently in use are differentiated one from the other through the closure system adopted. The most widespread are those provided with a "bayonet" closure system, of the type described for example in the French patent FR 2392639, wherein the edges of the lid and of the receptacle for cooking are provided with radial fins, angularly distanced and suitable for engaging and disengaging reciprocally by means of rotation of the lid in relation to the receptacle, through a predetermined angle, around the central axis of the cooker. There are also cookers provided with a "jaws" closure system, wherein the lid is provided with a pair of jaws which can move radially from a first position of closure, wherein they bring together and tighten the edges of the receptacle, which have outward bending suitable for the purpose, to a second position of opening, wherein the jaws move away, disengaging the edges of the receptacle and allowing removal of the lid. The Applicant, finally, has succeeded in distinguishing itself on the scene of the market for pressure cookers thanks to the introduction of a closure system with "lever handle". In practice the system is formed by a flexible lid which is inserted inside the pressure receptacle, by a cross member which is positioned outside the edge of the receptacle and by a lever provided at one end with a cam and pivoted above the cross member on a support connected to the lid. Once the lid is inserted in the receptacle, the cross member is rested on the edges of the receptacle and the lever is rotated. During rotation the cam pushes on the cross member, causing raising of the lid which is thus brought to abut against the edge of the receptacle, which has inward bending suitable for the purpose, and tightened in this position by ending rotation of the lever in a horizontal position opposite the starting position.
These systems of opening and closure all represent valid alternative solutions, the relative advantages depending mostly on the comparison between single specific embodiments and the taste and convenience of the purchaser, more than on the inherent features of the type of closure system in an abstract sense. The system with "lever handle", which characterises part of the range of pressure cookers of the Applicant, however has a series of special features which have gained consensus therefor from part of the consumers, and which in coming years could promote diffusion thereof on new markets. This system, in fact, is absolutely the simplest and the most economical, comprising few components which interact one with the other directly and rationally. Despite the fact that the lid is provided with release valves and with the other safety elements present in every type of pressure cooker, it is inserted in the cooker and abuts with the recessed edge of the pressure receptacle, totally preventing the possibility of structural breakage causing removal of the lid from the cooker. This system also does not foresee any preferential positioning of the lid in relation to the receptacle in order to be able to perform the operation of closure, and the movement of the lever handle, very intuitive, which does not require a special effort. However some people, such as the elderly or those with certain problems, could encounter a certain difficulty in the operations of opening and closure of the pressure cooker. This difficulty may increase as fat vapours, which in any pressure cooker are deposited in the interstitial areas of the components, may harden the movement mechanisms in time should regular maintenance not be carried out.
The object of the present invention is therefore that of providing a system of opening and closure with lever servomechanism for a pressure cooker, which maintains unchanged all the features of low cost, practicality and functionality already known and appreciated, and which increases the convenience thereof thanks to a gentler and more fluid actuation of the closure lever, such as to make loading and unloading of the pressure cooker simple and effortless, even for weaker users.
A further object of the present invention is that of providing a system of opening and closure with lever servomechanism, suitable for equipping various lines of pressure cookers of interest to a demanding and modern clientele, attentive to the quality of the materials and of the manufacture, to the ease of use and, last but not least, to the retail price.
The object of the invention is likewise that of providing a system of opening and closure with lever servomechanism for safe and reliable pressure cookers thanks to the fact that this lever abuts the lid on the edge of the container inside thereof, thus preventing the lid from blowing off in the case of malfunctioning or breakage of the lever or of the locking button.
Last but not least, an object of the present invention is that of providing a system of opening and closure with lever servomechanism wherein the cam of the lever does not press directly on the plane of the cross member placed in a bridge fashion to counter-abut on the edge of the container, so as to allow a considerable reduction in the thickness of this cross member and hence a reduction in the costs associated with the production of the system of closure.
All these objects are achieved by a system of opening and closure with lever servomechanism for pressure cooker of the type comprising a lever handle, a flexible lid and a cross member normally with an arc shape and with the curved surface or back turned towards the handle, characterised in that said system comprises a fork connected to the lever handle with a first hinge and to the flexible lid with a second hinge, and a third hinge for connection between said handle and the cross member, in such a way as to reduce the force to be applied to the lever handle.
The cross member will preferably be provided with at least one pair of brackets, positioned symmetrically at the sides of said cross member in a central position and rigidly restrained thereto in a known manner, whereto the lever handle is connected by means of said third hinge.
The first hinge and the third hinge will be positioned substantially on the same vertical line, in such a way that said first hinge is above said second hinge in the open handle position, while in the closed handle position said first hinge is below said second hinge.
These and other aspects will be made clearer with the aid of the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, to be read by way of a non-limiting example of the more general principle claimed.
The description refers to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 shows a side sectioned view of the pressure cooker equipped with the opening and closure system according to the present invention, in the opening position;
Figures 2a, 2b show, in a plane and perspective view respectively, a side sectioned view of the cooker of Figure 1 during the phase of closure;
Figures 3a, 3b show, in a plane and perspective view respectively, a side sectioned view of the cooker of Figure 1 in a closure position;
Figure 4 shows a plane view from above of the cooker of Figure 1.
Referring to Figure 1 , the system of opening and closure according to the present invention comprises a lever handle 1 , a flexible lid 2, a cross member 3, and a fork 4. The head 5 of the lever handle 1 is rotatably connected to the brackets 6 of the cross member 3 by means of the hinge 7, in such a way that the fulcrum of the lever is placed at a fixed distance from said cross member, and the handle 1 , during rotation, never comes into contact therewith. The brackets 6, symmetrically positioned at the sides of the cross member in a central position, are rigidly restrained thereto in a known manner, for example by welding. The head 5 of the handle 1 is also connected to the fork 4 thanks to the hinge 8, and the fork 4 to the flexible lid 2 by means of the hinge 9. The flexible lid 2 is therefore placed in a position below the cross member 3, and the arms of the fork 4 which connect it to the handle pass through the slots 11 with which said cross member is provided, as can be seen in Figures 2b and 3b. These slots 11 are dimensioned in such a way as to allow a translation of the handle - cross member system in relation to the flexible lid 2, whereto a reduction in the reciprocal distance corresponds, only on the side of the handle, in the open handle position. The two hinges 7 and 8 are also positioned substantially on the same vertical line, in such a way that the first hinge is above the second in an open handle position.
Referring to Figure 1 , the flexible lid 2 is inserted in the pressure receptacle 12, and the cross member 3 is positioned in a bridge fashion on the rounded edge 13 of said pressure receptacle, in such a way that the profile of the rounded edge 13 engages the nosepieces 15 of the cross member 3, and the latter maintains its position stably. The cross member 3 has an arc configuration, with the convex surface turned towards the handle 1 , and is formed by a
U profile which provides it with high resistance to bending. The flexible lid 2 is provided with a thickened edge 14, which engages the internal profile of the rounded edge 13 of the pressure receptacle 12 during the operation of closure of the system. The lever handle 1 , which in the open position is arranged horizontally, is rotated through a plane angle around the fulcrum, which coincides with the hinge 7, and then brought into the closure position. Referring to Figures 2a and 3a, during rotation of the handle 1 the hinge 8, starting from a position below the hinge 7, rotates integrally with the handle and describes a semicircular trajectory, which takes it into a position above the hinge 7 at the end of said rotation, as can be seen in Figures 3a and 3b. Since the hinge 7 is the fulcrum of the rotation, this variation in height of the hinge 8 in relation to the hinge 7 entails the fact that the fork 4, hinged at the ends with the handle 1 and the flexible lid 2, raises the latter until causing it to abut with the edge 13 of the pressure receptacle. The action of raising of the lid is gradual and designed so as to reduce the forces in the actual final phase of closure, which would otherwise be laborious, while the cross member 3, positioned in a bridge fashion on the edge 13 of the pressure receptacle, works through counter-abutment, supplying the restraining reactions required for this reduction in forces. The fork 4 is also configured such as to have a seat 10 on both arms, wherein the pin of the hinge 8 is engaged in a closure position in such a way that it is positioned below the hinge 7, substantially on the same vertical line, as can be seen in Figures 3a and 3b.
The handle 1 is provided with shoulders 16 suitable for limiting through contact with the brackets 6 the extent of the rotation to a plane angle, which can be seen in Figures 2b and 4, as guarantee of the fact that, should the handle escape the hand of the user during the operation of opening or closure, it would not dangerously hit the other hand of the user, resting on the cooker, like a whip. The cross member 3 which equips this new system of opening and closure was redimensioned, due to the fact that, given that the handle 1 does not press on the back of the cross member to achieve raising of the lid, the peak load is withstood entirely by the vertical walls of the cross member 3. These studies, which have led to the determination of the yield point and of the ultimate tensile stress of the cross member, have allowed a reduction in the thickness of the cross member, made typically in stainless steel. This material, known for its excellent mechanical properties, is moreover quite costly. A reduction in material which does not entail a weakening in the structure is to be considered a considerable success from the design standpoint, linked to the saving in raw material, although it is also possible to use other suitable, less noble materials. In a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, the fork 4 can have one single arm of suitable thickness, having all the inherent form and functionality features of the fork already described.
As can be seen in Figure 4, the flexible lid 2 will obviously be provided with appropriate seats for holding known safety means of pressure cookers, such as a gravity pressure release valve, a safety valve with fusible pastille, and a safety button which, following the rise in the pressure inside the receptacle, is pushed outwards, blocking the handle in the correct position of closure. The handle 1 will therefore have suitable means, such as shoulders or seats, which allow locking by the safety button which equips the lid 2.
It is understood that shapes, materials and thicknesses are determined by production needs and by decisions of the designer, and may vary in line with fulfilment of the declared functions of the device and the observance of strict safety tests whereto these systems are subjected, without the content of the concepts being claimed herein below being altered in any way. The pressure cooker, and consequently the closure system, may vary in the dimensions in order to meet every need in terms of capacity, without changing the functional principles claimed.
