The support hoop is formed at a one side thereof with a discharge path that overflowing soup is collected therein and discharged therethrough.

Description

HEATING VESSEL FOR HANDLING OVERFLOWING SOUP

Technical Field

[1] The present invention relates to a heating vessel such as iron pot and pot for preventing overflowing soup from falling onto the peripheral bottom to thereby contaminate the bottom with the overflowed soup when heating the heating vessel filled with food having soup or chemicals

[2]

Background Art

[3] Generally, as a conventional heating vessel has not been provided with any apparatus for preventing overflowing soup from falling onto its peripheral bottom when boiled soup overflows while heating the heating vessel filled with food having soup or medical stuff, a user should stand by to open the lid of the heating vessel or reduce the flame so that heating energy may be controlled, otherwise soup boils over and falls down onto the peripheral bottom thereby contaminating the peripheral bottom, and the flame is put out by the overflowing soup thereby there has been a danger that the gas escapes.

[4]

Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem

[5] Therefore, to solve the above problems, an object of the present invention is to improve the structure of a heating vessel for preventing overflowing liquid from falling down onto the adjacent bottom that a heating apparatus is placed even though the contents boil over when the heating vessel filled with food having soup or chemicals is heated, thereby preventing the peripheral bottom on which the heating apparatus is placed from being contaminated and preventing the gas from escaping.

[6] In order to accomplish the above-mentioned object, according to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a heating vessel that is formed with a support hoop at the circumferential outside below the top edge of the heating vessel so that soup overflowed along the heating vessel may not fall down onto the peripheral bottom thereby being collected into the support hoop, wherein the support hoop is formed by using the rim of a kettle in a case of an existing iron pot otherwise the support hoop is additionally formed below the top edge thereof, the support hoop is formed at a one side thereof with a discharge path that overflowing soup is collected therein and discharged therethrough, thereby preventing the soup flowing over the heating vessel from falling onto the peripheral bottom to contaminate the peripheral bottom. [7]

Technical Solution

[8] According to the present invention, while the overflowing soup pushes up the lid of the heating vessel to thereby flow over the heating vessel when the soup is boiled over after the heating vessel is filled with foods and heated, there is an advantage that the support hoop of the heating vessel is configured to collect the overflowing soup so that the peripheral bottom of the heating vessel or a heating apparatus may not be contaminated by the overflowed soup, not that the overflowing soup fall down onto the bottom or the heating apparatus.

[9]

Advantageous Effects

[10] To discharge the soup collected into the support hoop 4 through the discharge path

5, a receptacle may be separately arranged at the end of the discharge path 5 to collect the overflowed soup, or a hose 8 or a guide member may be connected to the end of discharge path in a case where it is difficult to arrange a receptacle at a place adjacent the heating vessel, so that the overflowed soup may be discharged.

[11] A coupling groove 6 as shown in drawing is configured to couple with the hose 8 or the guide member, and a coupling rod shaped hanging means 7' or coupling string is formed at the end of the hose 8 or the guide member, so that the hose 8 or the guide member may easily be connected to the end of the discharge path 5 by hanging them on the coupling groove 6.

[12] In a case where the overflowing soup is useless or the overflowing soup is need to be collected for another usage, the heating vessel of the present invention is capable of handling the overflowed soup cleanly and usefully without contaminating the peripheral bottom or a heating apparatus.

[13] As explained above, according to the present invention, the heating vessel of the present invention can be usefully used at a restaurant, health clinic center, food factory and the like in which a large amount of foods are heated continuously. The heating vessel of the present invention is capable of preventing the overflowing soup from falling down onto the peripheral bottom thereof while heating foods having soup or medical stuffs and the like, thereby preventing the overflowed soup from falling down to the heating apparatus so that the flame is put out or preventing the adjacent bottom from being contaminated.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[28] Hereafter, the heating vessel according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[29] The heating vessel according to the present invention is formed with a support hoop

4 which consists of a bottom part 2 and a side part 3 which protrudes at a circumferential outside below the upper edge of the heating vessel 1 so that overflowing soup may be collected into the support hoop 4, and the support hoop 4 is formed with a discharge path 5 which protrudes at one side thereof from the bottom part of the support hoop and which is extended at a lower position than the bottom part 2.

[30] The support hoop 4 may be formed according as which type of the heating vessel is applied to the present invention. For example, in a case of a conventional heating vessel having the rim of a pot, which is formed at a circumference of middle outside of an iron so that the iron pot may rest on a cooking fireplace, the support hoop 4 according to the present invention is formed by changing the shape of the rim of a pot so that the edge of the rim may rise, thereby the support hoop 4 is formed with a bottom part 2 and a side part 3 and at the same time with a discharge path 5. In a case where the heating vessel 1' is a pot type, a support hoop 4 is additionally formed below the upper edge of the heating vessel as shown in FIG. 4.

[31] The discharge path 5 is formed with hanging grooves 7at both sides of sidewalls 6 of the discharge path 5, the hanging grooves 7 may be connected to the hose 8 having the hanging means 7' or to the guide member capable of guiding the discharge of overflowing soup as shown in FIG. 3, and an additional receptacle for collecting overflowed soup may be hanged on the hanging grooves, thereby soup collected into the support hoop 4 is handled cleanly.

[32] In addition, in a case where the heating vessel according to the present invention is a caldron made of cast iron, ceramic, nonferrous metals, or a pot type of heating vessel 1, 1' the side part 3 of the support hoop 4 may be formed even to a high position of the lid of the heating apparatus, an outlet 50 is formed at one side of the bottom part 2 to connect the coupling part 80a of the discharge pipe 80 to the outside of the outlet so that overflowed soup or vapor from the heating apparatus and overflowed contents collected into the bottom part 2 of the support hoop 4 may be collected into a separate receptacle 9 through the discharge pipe 80. The side part 3 of bottom part 2 of support hoop 4 is formed to a higher position than the lid position of the heating vessel, a connection part 4a is formed at an inner side of the bottom part so that the connection part 4a of the support hoop 4 is arranged underneath the rim of pot Ia that is formed on the circumference outside, thereby the connection part 4a may rest on the heating apparatus, so that soup flowing over the heating vessel falls down along the outside wall of the heating vessel, is collected into the groove of the support hoop 4 via the rim of pot Ia, and discharged through the outlet 50, coupling part 80a and the discharge pipe 80.

[33] The support hoop 4 is further formed with a coupling groove 4b that is opened downward from the inner side of the connection part 4a so that the support hoop may be mounted at the outside of the rim of pot Ia of the heating vessel by using the coupling groove 4b as a coupling means capable of coupling with the upper portion 10a of the supporter 10 of heating apparatus.

[34] In addition, the support hoop 4 may consist of half bodies 40 that are assembled from each other by coupling the divisional part 40a formed with coupling portion 40b using the coupling tools 40c, 4Od, so that the support hoop 4 may be attached to the outside wall of the heating vessel 1 or the circumference of the upper part of supporter 10 of the heating apparatus.
