Description

The utility model relates to household items, namely, to appliances used in the kitchen, in particular to electric kettles.

Various kettles are currently widely known, comprising a kettle body and a kettle lid. Pouring water in such teapots, as a rule, is carried out through the neck with a previously open or removed lid. The lid of the kettle can be removable, or can be opened in various ways, for example, by lifting the handle or pressing the button located on the body of the kettle.

So, from the prior art, a kettle heated on a stove is known, comprising a housing and a removable lid with an opening that is an outlet of the exhaust duct and is not used to fill water into the kettle (RU 128972, 06/20/2013).

Also known from the prior art is an electric kettle comprising a housing and a lifting lid opened by pressing a button located outside the lid of the kettle (RU 146062, 09/27/2014 or FR 2810642, 12/28/2001).

However, the well-known lid of the kettle is rather unreliable in use, because Repeatedly raising and lowering the kettle lid, firstly, takes time, and secondly, fasteners (including the closing mechanism) undergo rapid wear, and can be broken if handled carelessly. In addition, when pouring water into the kettle, the well-known lid of the kettle is inconvenient both for ordinary users and for users with disabilities.

Closest to the claimed utility model is the lid of the kettle, comprising a housing in which an inlet for pouring water is formed, a partition for water movably located under said inlet for pouring water, and a closing mechanism exerting an elastic drive force on the partition for water to ensure closure by the partition for the water inlet for pouring water, and under the influence of the weight of the water in the inlet for pouring water, the mentioned water divider opens the entrance for pouring water (RU 183119 U1, 09/11/2018, see abstract, f formula, Fig. 1-2).

The disadvantages of the closest to the claimed utility model of the lid of the kettle are: insecurity in use, because in the known lid contains one partition and, accordingly, one closing mechanism, which, when used repeatedly, undergo rapid wear, and can be broken if handled carelessly. In addition, the presence of a limited (small) entrance for pouring water is inconvenient when pouring water for both ordinary users and users with disabilities.

The technical result of the claimed technical solution is to increase the reliability and ease of use of the kettle by providing the possibility of pouring water into the kettle without removing or opening the lid.

The specified technical result is achieved by the fact that the lid of the kettle contains a housing in which an inlet for pouring water is formed, a partition for water movably located under said inlet for pouring water, which, under the influence of the weight of the water in the inlet for pouring water, opens the inlet for pouring water, moreover, the said water baffle is made in the form of a shut-off valve with a lifting spring, which, under the influence of the weight of water in the inlet for pouring water, falls into the kettle by compressing the specified spring, at the termination of feed into the inlet for pouring water under the influence of the lifting spring, returns to its original position.

In a preferred embodiment, the lid body is round or oval or square.

The claimed technical solution is illustrated by drawings.

In FIG. 1 - shows a General view of the structural design of the lid of the kettle with a partition (top view);

In FIG. 2 - shows a constructive implementation of the lid of the kettle with a partition (side view).

As shown in FIG. 1, the claimed lid of the kettle contains a housing 1, in which an entrance for pouring water is formed. The housing 1 of the lid of the kettle is preferably made in a round shape (Fig. 1). Moreover, the specified case 1 of the lid of the kettle, preferably, can be square in shape or oval (not shown in the drawings). The water inlet can preferably be located over the entire area of the kettle lid body 1 and is preferably a round hole. Moreover, the specified entrance for pouring water may have another form of execution, depending on the shape of the body 1 of the lid of the kettle. The size of the inlet for pouring water should provide unimpeded flow of water inside the kettle and can vary from 1 cm to a value of N, commensurate with the size of the lid of the kettle, preferably up to 18 cm. Accordingly, the size of the partition 2 for water can be from 1 cm to 18 cm , in particular, the size from 5 to 15 cm can be chosen as the optimal size. Accordingly, the size of the partition for water can be from 1 cm to 18 cm. The specified entrance for pouring water increases the convenience of using the kettle when pouring water, as for ies users, and for users with disabilities.

The body of the lid of the kettle also contains a partition for water, which is made in the form of a shut-off valve 6 with a lifting spring 3. To fill the kettle with water, the kettle is placed under the tap, while water is poured into the inlet for pouring water. Under the influence of the weight of the water, the shutoff valve 6 overcomes the elastic driving force exerted by the lifting spring 3, and thus opens the water inlet.

The water partition is preferably movably located below said water inlet entrance. Said water partition 2 is preferably made in the form of a shutoff valve 6 with a lifting spring 3 located on the base 4. As shown in FIG. 2, said shut-off valve 6 with a lifting spring 3, under the influence of the weight of water in the water inlet, is lowered into the kettle along axis 5 by compressing said lifting spring 3. When the supply to the inlet for pouring water is stopped by the action of the lifting spring 3, the shut-off valve 6 returns to its original position. Said shutoff valve may also have another embodiment, depending on the shape of the kettle lid body 1, i.e. square or oval (not shown in the drawings). The specified shut-off valve 6, preferably, may be made of an elastic material or of any kind of plastic that is acceptable for contact with food products. The lifting spring 3 and the base 4 on which it is located can preferably be made of stainless steel, aluminum, copper or a combination thereof. Various coatings are also possible on the base material (e.g., dyeing, chromium plating, anodizing, etc.). Said lifting spring 3 is preferably provided under the shutoff valve 6 and forces the shutoff valve 6 to move up and down. The implementation of the water partition in the form of a shutoff valve 6 with a lifting spring 3, increases the reliability of using the kettle. In addition, due to the implementation of the shut-off valve 6 over the entire area of the body 1 of the lid of the kettle, the convenience of using the kettle when pouring water is increased both for ordinary users and for users with disabilities.

The claimed utility model is as follows. The kettle is placed under the tap and turn on the tap. In this case, the kettle can be either electric or just metal for use on stoves (gas, induction, electric, etc.). The flow of water is directed to the lid of the kettle, which, preferably, over its entire area has an inlet for pouring water. As the weight of water increases on the shutoff valve 6, the latter will fall down, compressing the lifting spring 3, thereby opening the inlet for pouring water for the flow of water into the kettle. As the weight of water decreases, the shut-off valve 6, the latter, under the action of the lifting spring 3, will rise up, thus automatically closing the entrance for pouring water into the kettle.

The claimed design of the lid of the kettle is quite simple, reliable, convenient and practical for all users and is suitable for general promotion.
