Problems solved by technology

[0006] Although known devices improve safety, it may happen that the owner of the IC tag is temporarily unable to properly hold the container due to health problems
Known devices also involve the risk that small children get the IC tag and thus gain unintentional control of the device

Embodiment Construction

[0037] In the various drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same elements, unless otherwise stated.

[0038] figure 1 An example of a device in which the present invention can be suitably applied is shown. In this example, the device is a water cooker comprising a container 1 and a support 2 .

[0039] Figures 2A, 2B schematically show an example of such a device according to the invention including means of improved security. Fig. 2A therein shows a container 1 comprising a liquid L and its support 2, and Fig. 2B schematically shows an embodiment of a control circuit used therein.

[0040] In the embodiment shown in Figures 2A, 2B, the device comprises a controllable lock 3 for controllably enabling the release of the container from the support 2. The lock 3 comprises mutually cooperating parts 3a, 3b, one of which is arranged in the container and one of which is arranged in the support. In the locked state, the partial grips 3a, 3b grip each other to prevent t...

Abstract

An arrangement is provided comprising a vessel (1) for holding a liquid. The arrangement further comprises at least one of a controllable lock (3) to controllably enable a release of said vessel from a support (2) and a controllable lock (4) to controllably enable opening of said vessel (1). The arrangement further comprises a controller (5) to control the at least one controllable lock. The arrangement is provided with a sensor unit (6) including at least one sensor to sense a mechanical interaction occurring when the vessel is gripped and to issue a sense signal (C6) that is indicative for said mechanical interaction, wherein said controller controls the at least one controllable lock (3, 4) dependent on said sense signal (C6) and on one or more safety conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device comprising a container comprising means for preventing accidental spillage of a liquid stored in the container. [0002] The invention further relates to a method for preventing accidental spillage of a liquid from a container. [0003] The invention still further relates to a storage medium comprising a program which, when executed by a programmable device, performs the steps of the method. Background technique [0004] Spills of hot, cold or aggressive liquids can pose a serious hazard to persons involved. [0005] JP2008-061795 discloses an electric cooker with a lid with a controllable lock. An external signal source such as an IC tag is used to control the controllable lock. The controllable lock remains closed when no external signal source is present, thus preventing children from inadvertently spilling hot water and thereby injuring themselves. [0006] Although known devices improve safety, it may happen t...
