Description

DESCRIPTION

PAN LID WITH ACCESS

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The present invention refers to a lid for pans, pots, pans and the like, which incorporates an access to add food without having to be removed, constantly protecting against splashes.

It comes to solve the problem presented by the current lids for this type of kitchen utensils, or similar, in which, once the oil is hot, it jumps out, and escapes through any opening or part that is not covered, dirtying and reaching to cause burns.

The lid object of the present invention has a characteristic configuration and shape, which allows food to be introduced and added thanks to an access that follows an angled path, preventing the relevant splashes from being projected in a straight line from within.

In addition, this access can be closed when it is not necessary to add more ingredients and you want to better preserve the heat and interior temperature, having different degrees of closure: open - partially open - closed.

The industrial application of this invention is within the sector of kitchen elements and accessories, and more specifically, lids for pans, pots, pans, etc.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Although no invention identical to that described has been found, we present below the documents found that reflect the state of the art related thereto.

Thus, the document ES2628639A1 refers to a non-spill pan with the curvature of the upper edge in all or part of the perimeter of the pan facing inwards, with a radius of curvature equal to or different from the radius of curvature of the lower area of the pan. that joins the base of the pan with the wall that forms the height of the pan. Said frying pan is quite different from the main invention, since its technical characteristic is based on the upper edge, and not on a lid.

EP2918205A1 proposes a splash guard for pots, pans and other kitchen utensils, with long-handled tongs that have two legs that can be tightened together, in which a movable tab is located between the two legs that rises during joint tightening. of the two legs. In this case, it is a splash guard that does not incorporate any type of access, this being the object and main advantage of the main invention.

ES2681130A1 describes a frying pan with an integrated folding lid characterized in that the folding lid is incorporated in the frying pan in such a way that it completely covers the pan plate when it is fully deployed, partially when the pan is partially unfolded or leaves the pan. the pan expeditiously and open when the lid is fully folded down. This lid is integrated into the pan, and once unfolded it does not protect against splashes; however, the lid that is the object of the main invention allows food to be added without the need to remove the lid.

Document ES1061464U claims a lid for pans, pots and the like, constituted by the functional combination of two pieces, one that adopts the configuration of a spherical cap or a similar configuration, affected by a wide triangular opening that extends from its polar area or center towards its edge, while the other piece in turn adopts a triangular configuration, similar to the aforementioned opening and slightly oversized with respect to it, having provided that the first piece incorporates at its mouth a metal ring conveniently fixed to the same, which in correspondence with the opening defines a guide for the sliding of the second piece, which is articulated at its vertex to the first, all in such a way that the second piece is capable of partially or totally sealing the opening of the first, in order to determine the cover as a whole a slight slot for steam exit, or an opening more to Wide manual access to the inside of the container without risk of splashes and / or burns. In this case, the aforementioned utility model describes a partial solution lid with access, but as long as this access is open, splashing is not avoided, unlike the lid to which the main invention refers.

Conclusions: As can be seen from the research carried out, none of the documents found solves the problems raised as the proposed invention does.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The lid for the pan with access object of the present invention is constituted from a lid, normally circular, although it can take any other shape depending on the frying pan, pot, saucepan, etc. to be covered, which rests perimeter on its contour, and has a central hole or hole made on its upper face.

Said upper face presents an ascending shape as it approaches the center of the same, and under this, there is a second cover, parallel to the first, also ascending at its central point to create an inclined plane towards the edge, and has a diameter greater than the hole made in the upper lid, so that, to reach the inside of the pan, the ingredients have to "get around" the lower lid. In this way, splashes are prevented from coming out of the lid, by having to carry out this angled path.

The lower cover is supported on vertical longitudinal axes or supports that pass through the upper cover, and are supported on it thanks to a widening at its upper end, with a diameter greater than the hole through the axes.

In turn, these shafts incorporate two more widenings, one mid-height, and the other lower, which are smaller than the hole that passes through said shafts, and once they are overcome, by means of a small turn of a cover with respect to the On the other hand, said widenings rest on a hole adjacent to the first one, this time smaller so that the lower cover does not lower again.

The upper cover also has a silicone or rubber strip, which allows the closure between the two covers to be completely sealed in the position where the lower cover rises all the way.

To manipulate the cover object of the present invention, a handle or handle starts from the center of the lower cover.

However, both lids can be joined together, and have a third lid that closes over the upper one, and to manipulate the whole set, said new lid can have a set of shafts with widenings that are inserted into holes in the lid. superior, and by means of a twist to be able to fix the whole set.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

A preferred embodiment of the lid for the pan with access object of the present invention, with reference to the numerical references, can be based on a circular lid (1) that rests perimeter on the contour of the frying pan, pot or saucepan to be covered, and It has a central hole or hole (2) made on its upper face.

Said upper face presents an ascending shape as it approaches the center of the same, and under this, there is a second cover (3), parallel to the first, also ascending through its central point to create an inclined plane towards the edge, and It has a diameter greater than the hole made in the upper cover.

The lower cover is supported on three supports or vertical longitudinal axes (4) that pass through the upper cover through holes aligned (5) with these, and are supported on it thanks to a widening at its upper end (6), with a larger diameter than the hole through the shafts.

In turn, these shafts (4) incorporate two more widenings, one at a medium height (7), and the other lower (8), which are smaller than the hole that passes through said shafts, and once they are overcome, by means of A small turn of one cover with respect to the other, said widenings (7, 8) rest on an adjacent hole (9) to the first one (5), this time it is smaller so that the lower cover does not lower again.

The upper cover also has a strip of silicone or rubber (10), which allows the closure between both covers (1, 3) to be completely sealed in the position where the lower cover rises completely.

To manipulate the cover object of the present invention, a handle or handle (11) starts from the center of the lower cover.

In a different embodiment, both lids can be joined together, and have a third lid that closes over the upper one, and to manipulate the whole set, said new lid may have a set of shafts with widenings that are inserted in some holes of the upper cover, and by means of a twist to fix the whole set.
