When the front locking plate 30 is fixed to the movable plate 20 by using the above-described loosening operation unit 33, the movable plate 20 is applied to the elasticity of the support spring 42 described above. The cooking vessel 1 inserted between the movable grip jaw 21 and the fixed grip jaw 11 is pushed toward the front side of the housing 10 by the movable grip jaw 21 protruding outward of the housing 10. By being separated, the dual locking effect by the lever fixing member 53 and the release operation part 33 is generated.

In addition, a guide groove is formed through the moving plate 20 so that the above-described moving plate 20 is movably inserted in a central portion thereof, and is fixed to the housing 10 while being disposed perpendicularly to the moving plate 20. By having one or more guide rings 60 disposed therein, it is preferable to prevent the unstable operation of the moving plate 20 when the moving plate 20 is moved forward and backward while the angle of the moving plate 20 is changed.

When the cooking vessel 1 and the handle are combined using the present invention configured as described above, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the fixed grip jaw 11 and the movable grip jaw 21 are the cooking vessel 1. After the upper end of the cooking vessel 1 is inserted into the space therebetween in a state where the separation distance is longer than the thickness of the user, the user presses the lock lever 50 described above toward the housing 10 and rotates the lock lever 50. One side of the rear catching plate 40 in contact with the () is pushed out and the rear catching plate 40 is inclined relative to the moving plate 20, and the inner surface of the friction groove 41 of the rear catching plate 40 moves. The rear locking plate 40 and the movable plate 20 are fixed by friction between the outer surfaces of the plate 20.

Subsequently, when the locking lever 50 continues to rotate, the rear catching plate 40 is pushed to the rear side of the fixing plate and the moving plate 20 is moved to the rear side of the fixing plate together, thereby moving with the fixing grip jaw 11.

When the force for pressing the lock lever 50 is removed, the friction groove 31 of the front locking plate 30 disposed to be inclined with the moving plate 20 rubs against the outer surface of the moving plate 20 while the moving plate 20 ) Forward movement is limited, the space between the fixed grip jaw (11) and the mobile grip jaw (21) is kept constant while maintaining a close contact with the cooking vessel (1) firm grip of the cooking vessel (1) Will be done.

In addition, when the thickness of the cooking container 1 is thin, when the locking lever 50 is rotated to a range that can be rotated, and then the force for removing the pressing force of the locking lever 50 is moved, the moving plate 20 is primarily moved. As described above, the forward locking plate 30 is restricted from moving forward by the front locking plate 30, and the rear locking plate 40 is moved back to the front side of the housing 10 by the elasticity of the support spring 42. As the locking lever 50 protrudes to the outside of the housing 10, the locking lever 50 may be repeatedly rotated to continuously move the movable plate 20.

In addition, after the fixed grip jaw 11 and the movable grip jaw 21 are completely in contact with the cooking container 1 and the coupling with the cooking container 1 is made, the locking lever 50 is pushed toward the housing 10 to move. The rear locking plate 40 is pushed along the plate 20, and after the lock lever 50 is completely in close contact with the housing 10, the lock lever 50 is moved using the lever fixing member 53 described above. By not protruding from the housing 10, the locking lever 50 is prevented from being caught when the user moves the cooking container 1 by holding the handle.

Contrary to the above, when the handle coupled to the cooking vessel 1 is separated, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, when the lever locking switch 532 is moved in the release direction, the lever is locked by the elasticity of the lever support spring 52. At the same time as the lever 50 protrudes out of the housing 10, the force for supporting the rear locking plate 40 of the locking operation plate 51 of the locking lever 50 disappears, so that the rear locking plate 40 supports the spring. It is pushed toward the front side of the housing 10 by the elasticity of the 42, wherein the rear catching plate 40 is vertically disposed with the moving plate 20 by the elasticity of the support spring 42, the rear catching plate 40 ) And the moving plate 20 is released, the front locking plate 30 is rubbed with the moving plate 20 to limit the movement of the moving plate 20.

Thereafter, pressing the release switch 331 formed in the above-mentioned release operation part 33 toward the inside of the housing 10, the front catching plate 30 is erected in the vertical direction of the moving plate 20, the front catching plate ( The friction between the 30 and the movable plate 20 is released. At this time, the movable grip jaw 21 protrudes as the movable plate 20 is pushed toward the front side of the housing 10 by the elasticity of the support spring 42 described above. The distance between the fixed grip jaw (11) and the mobile grip jaw (21) is to be separated from the cooking vessel (1).
