[0001] This invention generally relates to the technical field of electric cooking appliances and accessories, including containers suitable for holding cooking baths.

[0002] The present invention relates, in particular but not exclusively, to electric fryers and accessories thereof, including containers suitable for receiving oil or fat baths for frying foods.

[0003] More specifically, the present invention relates to a component comprising an electric cooking appliance and a venting base, the electric cooking appliance including a container equipped with a venting device, the venting base being configured to support the electric cooking appliance during venting operations. Background Technology

[0004] Document EP1504705 discloses a cooking apparatus including a container equipped with a draining device. The container can be disposed on a draining seat for draining the contents of the container into the draining seat. The draining seat is associated with a removable lid. However, the lid should be removed so that the contents of the container can be drained.

[0005] Document EP2103240 discloses a cooking apparatus comprising a container equipped with a draining device. The container is associated with a draining seat, which includes a lid equipped with a filling hole. However, the draining base is inserted into a side opening of a base that supports the cooking apparatus. Summary of the Invention

[0006] One object of the present invention is to provide a reliable component of the aforementioned type.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a component of the above-described type that is economical in terms of structure.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a cooking assembly with limited external dimensions, comprising an electric cooking device and an emptying container.

[0009] These objectives are achieved using a cooking assembly comprising an electric cooking device and a drain base. The electric cooking device includes a container suitable for receiving a cooking bath, the container being equipped with a draining device comprising a valve capable of occupying a closed, stable return position and an open position. The drain base includes a drain reservoir and a reservoir cover, the reservoir cover being provided with a channel for allowing the cooking bath to flow into the drain reservoir. The drain base has a control member, and the cooking assembly has a drain configuration in which the drain base carries the electric cooking device, and in which the control member moves the valve to an open position. The electric cooking device is characterized in that, when the cooking assembly has the drain configuration, the electric cooking device rests on the reservoir cover. These arrangements allow for a reduction in the lateral dimensions of the drain base while optimizing its capacity. Therefore, a more compact construction can be obtained, while maintaining good control over the flow of the cooking bath into the drain reservoir due to the presence of the reservoir cover.

[0010] Additionally, the container cover includes a lateral stop configured to restrict lateral movement of the electric cooking appliance resting on the container cover. This arrangement allows for a degree of freedom in positioning the electric cooking appliance on the container cover.

[0011] Additionally, the container cover has an upper surface including a recess, and lateral stops are formed by the sidewalls of the recess. This arrangement allows for freedom of positioning the electric cooking appliance on the container cover in multiple directions.

[0012] Advantageously, the sump cover has multiple main sides, and at least one of the recesses is arranged in an angular portion defined by two adjacent main sides. This arrangement allows for a reduction in the overall dimensions of the venting base.

[0013] Furthermore, the container cover has four main sides, and each of the recesses is arranged in an angular portion defined by two adjacent main sides. This arrangement allows for a reduction in the overall dimensions of the drain base while facilitating the positioning of electric cooking appliances on the container cover.

[0014] Furthermore, the container cover has a peripheral edge, and lateral stops are surrounded by said peripheral edge. This arrangement allows for easy positioning of the electric cooking appliance on the container cover.

[0015] According to one embodiment, the electric cooking appliance includes an outer shell for housing a container, and when the cooking components have a venting mechanism, the outer shell rests on a container cover. Alternatively, the electric cooking appliance may not have an outer shell for housing a container, so that when the cooking components have a venting mechanism, the container can rest on a container cover.

[0016] Another advantage is that the outer casing forms a skirt. In other words, the outer casing does not have a bottom. This configuration allows for a simplified implementation of the outer casing.

[0017] Advantageously, the housing includes separate housing feet configured to rest on the container lid when the cooking components have a venting configuration. This arrangement allows for easy handling of the housing.

[0018] Another advantage is that when the cooking component has a venting structure, the housing feet rest in the recesses. This arrangement allows for good stability of the cooking component in the venting structure.

[0019] Advantageously, the venting basin includes an upper support member that extends below the basin cover when the basin cover is closed. The basin cover can be supported on the upper support member if needed. This arrangement allows for improved stability of electric cooking appliances mounted on the venting basin.

[0020] Another advantage is that the upper support extends from the side wall of the venting container. This arrangement allows for a simplified construction of the venting container.

[0021] Furthermore, the upper support is a strut that extends from the bottom of the drain container. This arrangement allows for reinforcement of the side walls of the drain container when it supports an electric cooking appliance, which helps improve the stability of the electric cooking appliance supported by the drain container. This arrangement also allows for a reduction in the overall dimensions of the cooking components.

[0022] Another advantage is that the upper support is arranged below the recess.

[0023] Furthermore, the electric cooking appliance has lower supports spaced apart from each other, and these lower supports are arranged perpendicular to the upper supports when the electric cooking appliance is placed on the container cover. This arrangement allows for easy operation of the electric cooking appliance. Attached Figure Description

[0040] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cooking assembly 1 shown includes an electric cooking device 2 and a drain base 3. The drain base 3 is configured to support the electric cooking device 2.

[0041] As in Figure 2 As best seen in the center, the drain base 3 includes a drain container 70 and a container cover 80. A plug 90 is installed on the container cover 80.

[0042] As in Figure 4 As can be seen, the electric cooking appliance 2 has lower support members 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d spaced apart from each other. The lower support members 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d are configured to rest on a support plane.

[0043] The electric cooking appliance 2 includes a container 10 suitable for holding a cooking bath. The container 10 is equipped with... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 The venting device 60 is visible in the middle.

[0044] Electric cooking appliance 2 includes an electric heating element 20. Figure 1 and Figure 2In the illustrated embodiment, the electric heating device 20 is configured to directly heat the cooking bath. For this purpose, the electric heating device 20 includes a resistor 21 configured to be immersed in the cooking bath contained within the container 10. The electric heating device 20 also includes a control housing 22 on which the resistor 21 is mounted. The control housing 22 extends outside the container 10 as the resistor 21 extends inside the container 10. Alternatively or as a supplement, the electric heating device 20 may be configured, in particular, to heat the container 10. Thus, the electric heating device 20 may be fixed to the container 10 or removable relative to the container 10. The electric heating device 20 may be associated with temperature control devices and thermal safety devices not shown in the figures. The temperature control device is, for example, a thermostat. The thermal safety device is, for example, a thermal fuse or a resettable thermal limiter. As a variation, the electric heating device may be configured to heat the container without immersion in the cooking bath contained within it. Thus, the electric heating device does not necessarily need to be fixed to the container.

[0045] The electric cooking appliance 2 may include a housing 30 that accommodates the container 10. (As in...) Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As best seen in the center, the outer casing 30 forms a skirt 32. The skirt 32 has four sides. The outer casing 30 includes... Figure 2 The most visible independent housing feet 33a, 33b, 33c, and 33d are shown in the figure. According to the embodiment shown, housing feet 33a, 33b, 33c, and 33d are arranged in the lower corner portion of the outer casing 30 and extend in two directions below the sides of the skirt. Therefore, housing feet 33a, 33b, 33c, and 33d have an L-shape. Lower support members 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d are arranged below housing feet 33a, 33b, 33c, and 33d.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, container 10 is removably mounted within housing 30. Housing 30 may have gripping members 35, particularly two opposing upper handles. According to a common embodiment, container 10 has an outer edge 11 configured to rest on the upper edge 31 of housing 30, as in Figure 2 The best view is in the center. Alternatively, the container 10 may be fixed to the outer shell 30, or the electric cooking appliance 2 may be without the outer shell 30.

[0047] The electric cooking appliance 2 may include a basket 40 configured to hold food immersed in a cooking bath contained in a container 10.

[0048] The electric cooking appliance 2 may include a lid 50 configured to cover the container 10. The lid 50 may be configured for use in a usage configuration if desired. Alternatively, the lid 50 may be configured for use only in a storage configuration.

[0049] The venting device 60 includes Figure 9 Valve 61 is best visible in the middle. The venting device 60 is preferably installed in the bottom of the container 10. If necessary, a thermostatic valve 62 can be arranged upstream of valve 61 to prevent the cooking bath from being vented when the cooking temperature is too high.

[0050] The drain base 3 has a Figure 5 and Figure 7 The control element 4 is best visible in the center. The control element 4 is configured to actuate valve 61. Valve 61 is capable of occupying a closed, stable return position and an open position. The closed, stable return position is used to contain the cooking bath in the container 10 in the absence of external action, and the open position is used to allow the cooking bath to be emptied when valve 61 is actuated by the control element 4. Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown. Therefore, the control component 4 is configured to move the valve 61 to the open position when the empty base 3 carries the electric cooking device 2. More specifically, in Figures 1 to 15 In the illustrated embodiment, the emptying container 70 has a control member 4. Alternatively, the container cover 80 may also have a control member 4.

[0051] As in Figure 5 and Figure 7 As can be seen, the emptying container 70 has a container bottom 73 and a sidewall 75 rising from the container bottom 73. The emptying container 70 has a structure extending in one direction. The emptying container 70 has two opposing sides 76a, 76b. The two opposing sides 76a, 76b extend in said direction. A third side 76c is arranged perpendicular to the two sides 76a, 76b. A fourth side 76d extends opposite to the third side 76c. The sidewall 75 is provided with a conduit 77, which leads to a pouring opening 78, as shown in... Figure 11 and Figure 12 The best visibility is achieved in the middle. The conduit 77 is arranged in the fourth side portion 76d. The seat plug 95 closes the pouring opening 78. The emptying seat 70 includes an outer peripheral wall 79 surrounding the sidewall 75, as in... Figure 9 The best view is in the middle. The outer peripheral wall 79 extends at a certain distance from the lower part of the side wall 75 of the emptying seat 70.

[0052] As in Figure 9 and Figure 10 As best seen in the center, the emptying container 70 has a lower surface 73a including a receiving portion 73b. Therefore, the receiving portion 73b is arranged below the bottom 73 of the container. As in Figure 9As can be seen, the control member 4 extends from the lower surface 73a of the venting container 70, and the receiving portion 73b extends below the control member 4.

[0053] like Figure 7 As best seen in the image, the emptying container 70 includes upper supports 72a, 72b, 72c, and 72d. More specifically, the upper supports 72a, 72b, 72c, and 72d originate from the sidewall 75 of the emptying container 70. The upper supports 72a, 72b, 72c, and 72d belong to supports 71a, 71b, 71c, and 71d, which extend from the bottom 73 of the container. Supports 71a, 71b, 71c, and 71d originate from the sidewall 75. Each of the upper supports 72a, 72b, 72c, and 72d originates from the bottom 73 of the container. All supports 71a, 71b, 71c, and 71d originate from opposite sides 76a and 76b.

[0054] As a variation, at least some of the supports 71a, 71b, 71c, and 71d may originate from one of the opposing sides 76a and 76b.

[0055] As in Figure 10 As best seen in the middle, the empty container 70 includes container feet 70a, 70b, 70c, and 70d spaced apart from each other.

[0056] In the embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings, the control member 4 emerges from the venting container 70. More specifically, the control member 4 emerges from the bottom 73 of the container. The control member 4 is arranged at a certain distance from the side wall 75. For example, in... Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 15 As is best seen in the center, the bottom 73 of the receiver has a protrusion 74 equipped with a receiving portion 73b. For example, in Figure 9 As best seen in the center, the control member 4 is formed by an insert mounted on the protrusion 74.

[0057] The container cover 80 is configured to be mounted on the drain container 70. The container cover 80 is provided with a channel 80a, which allows cooking water to flow into the drain container 70 when the container cover 80 is positioned on the drain container 70 to form a drain base 3 and the drain base 3 carries the electric cooking container 2. Therefore, when the container cover 80 is mounted on the drain container 70, the container cover 80 closes the drain container 70, except for the channel 80a. The container cover 80 has a peripheral edge 87 with a lower receiving portion 88, as shown in... Figure 8The best visibility is achieved in the center. The peripheral edge 87 has an external tongue 89 for facilitating removal of the container cover 80 from the drain container 70. The container cover 80 has a tube 80b that rises above the closing wall 86, as shown in... Figure 9 As can be seen, the enclosed wall 86 is surrounded by a peripheral edge 87. More specifically, in the embodiment shown in the figure, the tube 52 is provided with a channel 80a.

[0058] The plug 90 is configured to close the channel 80a. In the embodiment shown in the figure, the plug 90 is in a venting position (not shown) and Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The channel 80a is movably mounted on the reservoir cover 80 between the shown storage positions, in which the channel 80a is free, and in the storage position, the channel 80a is closed by the cap 90. More specifically, in the embodiment shown in the figures, the cap 90 is pivotally mounted on the reservoir cover 80. The cap 90 is carried by the tube 80b. The cap 90 can be removed relative to the reservoir cover 80 if desired. Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the cap 90 has been removed from the container cover 80. When the drain base 3 is in the storage configuration of the cooking bath housed in the drain container 70, the cap 90 closes the passage 80a, as... Figure 6 As shown.

When the cooking component 1 has this venting configuration, the electric cooking appliance 2 rests on the receiving cover 80. More specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, when the cooking component 1 has this venting configuration, the outer casing 30 rests on the receiving cover 80.

[0061] The sump cover 80 includes Figure 5 The lateral stop 81 is best visible in the center. The lateral stop 81 is configured to restrict the lateral movement of the electric cooking device 2 resting on the container cover 80. More specifically, the lateral stop 81 is surrounded by a peripheral edge 87.

[0062] The housing cover 80 has an upper surface including recesses 82a, 82b, 82c, and 82d. The lateral stop 81 is formed by the sidewalls of the recesses 82a, 82b, 82c, and 82d.

[0063] The receiving cover 80 has four main sides 83a, 83b, 83c, and 83d. Each of the recesses 82a, 82b, 82c, and 82d is arranged in an angular portion 84a, 84b, 84c, and 84d defined by two adjacent main sides 83a, 83b, 83c, and 83d. In this case, the angular portion 84a is the main side 83a and 83d, the angular portion 84b is the main side 83a and 83c, the angular portion 84c is the main side 83c and 83b, and the angular portion 84d is the main side 83b and 83d, as in... Figure 5 The middle part is clearly visible. One of the main side parts 83a, 83b, 83c, and 83d has multiple faces.

[0064] As a variation, the housing cover 80 may have a plurality of main side portions 83a, 83b, 83c, 83d, and at least one of the recesses 82a, 82b, 82c, 82d may be arranged in the angular portions 84a, 84b, 84c, 84d defined by two adjacent main side portions 83a, 83b, 83c, 83d.

[0065] As a variation, the housing cover 80 may have an upper surface including at least one recess, with lateral stops formed by the sidewalls of the recess. If desired, the recess may be, in particular, annular or honeycomb-shaped.

More specifically, when the cooking component 1 has a venting structure, the housing feet 33a, 33b, 33c, and 33d rest in the recesses 82a, 82b, 82c, and 82d.

[0067] When the reservoir cover 80 is closed and the reservoir 70 is emptied, the upper support members 72a, 72b, 72c, and 72d extend below the reservoir cover 80. For example, in Figure 5 As can be seen, the upper support members 72a, 72b, 72c, and 72d are arranged below the recesses 82a, 82b, 82c, and 82d. When the electric cooking appliance 2 is placed on the container cover 80, the lower support members 5a, 5b, 5c, and 5d are arranged perpendicular to the upper support members 72a, 72b, 72c, and 72d.
