Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a removable handle designed to cooperate with a cooking vessel, such as a deep pan, a frying pan or a saucepan, having a side wall extending upwards by an outwardly curved portion. BACKGROUND

[0002] Document EP3319497 discloses a removable handle designed to cooperate with a cooking vessel having a side wall extending upwards by an outwardly curved portion comprising a free end. The removable handle extends in longitudinal direction and comprises an inner support and an outer support designed to rest respectively against an inner surface and an outer surface of the side wall, and an upper support designed to rest against the free end of the curved portion. The removable handle comprises a latch movable between an open position and a closed position. The latch comprises a locking panel designed to be distanced from the inner support when the latch is in the open position, and designed to generate a force on the free end under the action of a pressurizing device when the latch is in the closed position. This force comprises a vertical locking component that rests the free end of the curved portion against the upper support.

[0003] Thus, when the removable handle is assembled to the cooking vessel, the latch is in the closed position, the side wall is held between the inner support and the outer support, and the curved portion is held between the upper support and the locking panel.

[0004] However, in particular use cases, in particular if the user wants to turn over the food contained in the cooking vessel and holds the removable handle on the cooking vessel, makes the cooking vessel move up and down, and suddenly slows down the movement at the end, the free end of the curved portion generates a force against the locking panel against the pressurizing device and this force tends to make the latch rebound.

[0005] Thus, the user can feel a parasitic displacement between the removable handle and the cooking vessel. SUMMARY

[0006] The aim of the present invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks and to propose a removable handle designed to cooperate with a cooking vessel and providing an improved support to allow the user to easily and safely manipulate the handle.

[0007] Another aim of the present invention is to propose a removable handle having a simple design and which can be economically implemented.

[0008] These aims are achieved by a removable handle designed to cooperate with a cooking vessel having a side wall which extends upwards through an outwardly curved portion comprising a free end, said removable handle extending in a longitudinal direction and comprising an inner support and an outer support designed to rest respectively against an inner surface and an outer surface of the side wall, and an upper support designed to rest against the free end of the curved portion, said removable handle comprising a latch movable between an open position and a closed position, the latch comprising a locking panel designed to be distanced from the inner support when the latch is in the open position, and designed to generate a force on the free end under the action of a pressurizing device when the latch is in the closed position, said force comprising a vertical locking component F for pressing the free end of the curved portion against the upper support, characterized in that the latch comprises a protrusion and the removable handle comprises a hollow, or vice versa, i.e. the latch comprises a hollow and the removable handle comprises a protrusion, and in that, in the closed position, the protrusion and the hollow cooperate with each other to prevent the latch from rebounding when the force generated by the free end on the locking panel comprises a component Fl opposite to the vertical locking component F, the intensity of the component Fl being greater than a predetermined value.

[0009] Thus, in the case where a heavy load is exerted on the free end on the locking panel, the latch is locked in the closed position and can no longer rebound. The relative movement between the removable handle and the cooking vessel is thus reduced, and this improves the safety and the quality perceived by the user.

[0010] By "vertical locking component", it is understood that this component is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction which is substantially horizontal.

[0011] Advantageously, the protrusion and the hollow automatically disengage from each other when the latch leaves the closed position to move to the open position.

[0012] Advantageously, the protrusion and the hollow extend in a vertical plane parallel to the longitudinal direction, the protrusion or the hollow being movable in a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction between a locked position in which the latch cannot rebound and an unlocked position in which the latch can rebound.

[0013] Thus, when the free end generates a force on the locking panel comprising a component Fl opposite to the vertical locking component F, the protrusion moves into the hollow in the direction of the vertical locking component F.

[0014] Preferably, the protrusion is arranged close to the latch wall.

[0015] The latch is guided in the removable handle, the size of the operating clearance of which is designed to allow the locking panel to move downwards in the closed position and thus to allow the protrusion to move into the hollow.

[0016] Advantageously, the predetermined value of the intensity of the component F1 is greater than 0.05 times the intensity of the vertical component F measured when the latch is in the closed position.

[0017] Therefore, once the barrier acts on the free end under the action of the pressurizing means, the protruding body or the hollow body moves to a locked position in which the latch cannot rebound. For example, the predetermined value of the intensity of the component F1 is greater than 1 N.

[0018] Advantageously, the hollow body is arranged on a clip attached to the detachable handle, said clip comprising an upper support body.

[0019] Therefore, the clip and the latch can be made of a solid metallic material, and the detachable handle can comprise a plastic body which is more economical than a metallic material.

[0020] Preferably, the protruding body comprises at least one tooth and the hollow body comprises at least one receiving notch corresponding in shape to the at least one tooth.

[0021] This cooperation of the tooth and the correspondingly shaped receiving notch enables the latch to be effectively locked in the closed position.

[0022] Advantageously, the at least one tooth comprises a plane inclined at an angle β with respect to a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, the angle β being greater than 15°, and the at least one notch comprises a plane inclined at the same angle.

[0023] Therefore, when the latch moves away from the closed position, the at least one tooth can exit the at least one notch without being caught.

[0024] Preferably, the detachable handle comprises means for returning the latch to the open position, said means being arranged between the clip and the latch.

[0025] This arrangement in particular allows to facilitate the movement of the protruding body or the hollow body from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0026] Advantageously, the protruding body comprises a plurality of teeth forming at least one first toothed rack and the hollow body comprises a plurality of receiving notches forming at least one second toothed rack, the first toothed rack and the second toothed rack comprising the same tooth pitch P.

[0027] Therefore, the plurality of teeth and the plurality of notches can facilitate the locking of the latch in the closed position.

[0028] Advantageously, the tooth pitch P is less than 2 millimeters.

[0029] Preferably, the at least one first toothed rack comprises a first right toothed rack and a first left toothed rack, the at least one second toothed rack comprises a second right toothed rack and a second left toothed rack, the first right toothed rack and the first left toothed rack and the second right toothed rack and the second left toothed rack having the same tooth pitch P.

[0030] Advantageously, the first right rack and the first left rack extend parallel to the longitudinal direction, while being offset by half a pitch, or the second right rack and the second left rack extend parallel to the longitudinal direction, while being offset by half a pitch.

[0031] Thus, before locking, the latch in the closed position can be moved by a maximum distance equal to half a pitch, either by cooperation of the first right rack with the second right rack or by cooperation of the first left rack with the second left rack.

[0032] Preferably, the latch can be moved in the longitudinal direction and the locking panel is inclined to form an angle a with the longitudinal direction greater than 45° in a vertical cross-sectional plane comprising the longitudinal direction.

[0033] Thus, the free end generates a force on the locking panel, and vice versa, which comprises a vertical locking component substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.

[0034] Advantageously, the locking panel is designed to cooperate with the lower edge of the free end when the latch is in the closed position.

[0035] The "lower edge of the free end" means the intersection line of the outer surface of the curved portion extending the outer surface of the side wall with the substantially vertical surface, which is offset by a given value towards the outside of the wall.

[0036] Advantageously, the upper support comprises a support surface designed to cooperate with the upper edge of the free end of the curved portion.

[0037] The "upper edge of the free end" means the intersection line of the inner surface of the curved portion extending the inner surface of the side wall with the substantially vertical surface, which is offset by a given value towards the outside of the wall.

[0038] The lower edge and the upper edge define the thickness of the free end of the curved portion.

[0039] The "support surface designed to cooperate with the upper edge" means that, in a vertical cross-sectional plane, the support surface prevents the upper edge from moving in a direction comprising a vertical component (upwards) and a horizontal component (radially towards the outside of the cooking vessel) when the removable handle is fitted on the cooking vessel.

[0040] Preferably, the pressurizing device comprises a compression spring and the thrust of the spring on the latch is generated in the longitudinal direction when the latch is in the closed position.

[0041] This arrangement makes it possible to adapt the position of the latch to the thickness and length of the free end.

[0042] Advantageously, the removable handle comprises a device for manipulating the latch, said manipulation device comprising a lever, a connecting rod and a compression spring.

[0043] This arrangement allows to obtain a very ergonomic device for handling the latch.

[0044] Advantageously, the latch is movable with respect to the inner support, the outer support and the upper support, all three supports being connected and fixed.

[0045] The present application also relates to an assembly formed by at least one cooking vessel comprising a lateral wall extending upwardly through an outwardly curved portion comprising a free end having an upper edge and a lower edge, and being equipped with a detachable handle as described above.

[0054] ​​​It should be noted that in this document, the terms "horizontal", "vertical", "lower", "upper", "longitudinal", "transversal", "top", "bottom" used to describe the detachable handle and the cooking vessel are taken with reference to when the detachable handle is fitted to the side wall of the cooking vessel placed on a horizontal plane.

[0055] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 , the detachable handle 1 is designed to cooperate with a cooking vessel 60 comprising a horizontal bottom wall 68, a side wall 61 standing from the bottom wall 68 and an outwardly curved portion 64. The side wall 61 comprises an inner surface 62 and an outer surface 63. The curved portion 64 extends the side wall 61 and delimits an upper opening of the cooking vessel 60. The curved portion 64 comprises a free end 65 having an upper edge 66 and a lower edge 67. The upper edge 66 and the lower edge 67 preferably overlap in a vertical plane.

[0056] The detachable handle 1 extends along a longitudinal direction 3. The detachable handle 1 comprises a gripping body 2 comprising a front wall 4 at a front end turned towards the cooking vessel 60, the front wall forming an outer support 14 designed to cooperate with the outer surface 63 of the side wall 61. In a vertical cross-section plane turned along the longitudinal direction 3, Figure 2 and 3 , the outer support 14 is substantially vertical. The detachable handle 1 comprises a median vertical plane extending along the longitudinal direction 3, the median vertical plane forming a plane of symmetry of the detachable handle 1.

[0057] The detachable handle 1 has a clip 50 made of a metallic material. The clip 50 comprises two lugs arranged on either side of the median vertical plane. Two tabs 51a, 51b form an upper support 15 designed to cooperate with the upper edge 66 of the free end 65. The two tabs 51a, 51b extend along the longitudinal direction 3 at the front end.

[0058] The detachable handle 1 comprises a structural piece 10 made of a metallic material. The structural piece 10 is substantially flat and comprises an end tab 13. The end tab 13 extends downwards and comprises an inner wall forming an inner support 12 designed to cooperate with the inner surface 62 of the side wall 61.

[0059] The inner support 12 and the outer support 14 are offset in the longitudinal direction 3 Figure 3 to allow the introduction of the side wall 61 and the free end 65 during the fitting of the detachable handle 1 on the cooking vessel 60.

[0060] The detachable handle 1 comprises a latching body formed by a latch 20, the latching body being movable between an open position Figure 3 and a closed position Figure 2) between which the latch 20 is moved in the longitudinal direction 3. The latch 20 comprises a substantially flat central portion 22 extending in the longitudinal direction 3. A clip 50 is connected below the structural element 10 to define a receiving slot 23 and to guide the movement of the central portion 22 of the latch 20. One front end of the latch 20 comprises a locking panel 21.

[0061] As shown in Figure 3 , when the latch 20 is in the open position, the locking panel 21 is designed to be distanced from the upper support 15 to enable the lateral wall 61 to be inserted between the inner support 12 and the outer support 14 and to allow the upper edge 66 of the free end 65 to rest against the upper support 15.

[0062] As shown in Figure 2 and 4 , when the latch 20 is in the closed position, the locking panel 21 is designed to rest against the lower edge 67 of the free end 65, thereby blocking the upper edge 66 on the upper support 15. In a vertical cross-sectional plane comprising the longitudinal direction 3, a straight line on the locking panel 21 forms an angle a with the longitudinal direction of between 40° and 50°, preferably 45°.

[0063] According to Figure 7 , the latch 20 comprises a protrusion 24 formed by a plurality of teeth 26a of a first right rack 25a and a plurality of teeth 26b of a first left rack 25b. The first right rack 25a and the first left rack 25b are arranged close to the locking panel 21. The first right rack 25a and the first left rack 25b extend along the longitudinal direction 3 and are arranged on either side of the vertical median plane. The plurality of teeth 26a of the first right rack 25a and the plurality of teeth 26b of the first left rack 25b have a same pitch P equal to 1.3 millimetres. The first right rack 25a and the first left rack 25b extend parallel to the longitudinal direction 3, offset by half a pitch. Each tooth 26a of the first right rack 25a and each tooth 26b of the first left rack 25b extends downwards in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 3. Each tooth 26a of the first right rack 25a and each tooth 26b of the first left rack 25b comprises a plane 27a, 27b inclined at an angle b equal to 20° with respect to a vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 3.

[0064] The clip 50 is fixed to the structural element 10, which is itself fixed to the gripping body 2 and the front wall 4 by two screws 7, 8 Figure 5). The clip 50 comprises a hollow body 54 formed by a plurality of notches 56a defining a second right rack 55a and a plurality of notches 56b defining a second left rack 55b. The second right rack 55a and the second left rack 55b extend along the longitudinal direction 3 and are arranged on either side of the vertical median plane. The plurality of notches 56a of the second right rack 55a and the plurality of notches 56b of the second left rack 55b have the same pitch P equal to 1.3 millimeters. The second right rack 55a and the second left rack 55b extend parallel to the longitudinal direction 3, offset by half a pitch P. Each notch 56a of the second right rack 55a and each notch 56b of the second left rack 55b extends upward in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 3. Each notch 56a of the second right rack 55a and each notch 56b of the second left rack 55b comprises a plane 57a, 57b inclined at an angle β equal to 20° with respect to the vertical direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 3.

[0065] When the latch 20 is in the closed position, the protruding body 24 and the hollow body 54 cooperate with each other to prevent the rebound of the latch 20 when the free end 65 generates a force on the barrier 21 comprising a downwardly directed vertical component Fl and having an intensity greater than a predetermined value equal to 0.05 times the intensity of the vertical component F measured when the latch 20 is in the closed position, i.e. 1.25 N, equal to approximately 25 N. The intensity of the vertical component F is measured when the latch 20 is in the closed position, it being understood that the intensity of the vertical component F is measured with the action of the pressurizing device 47 as the only stress. The central portion 22 of the latch 20 is guided in its movement in the slot 23 with a vertical clearance dimensioned so that the protruding body can move into or out of the hollow body.

[0066] As shown in Figure 5 and 6 , the removable handle 1 comprises a rebound device of the latch 20 located between the tab 58 carried by the clip 50 and the stop 28 carried by the latch 20. The rebound device is provided by a spring 11 which, when the latch 20 is in the closed position, is compressed and is adapted to exert a return force on the stop 28 to drive the latch 20 in movement towards its open position.

[0067] According to Figure 2 and 3The detachable handle 1 comprises means for moving the latch body formed by the latch 20. The moving means comprise a lever 30 which is made pivotable on the gripping body 2 along a pivot axis 34 extending in a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction 3, and a link 40 which enables the latch 20 to be moved when the lever 30 is pivoted. The link 40 is mounted so as to be pivotable by a first end along a shaft 43 to the latch 20, by a second end along a shaft 44 to the lever 30, said link being slidingly mounted in an oblong opening 31 made in the lever 30. Figure 5 ).

[0068] The lever 30 is arranged on the lower surface 6 of the gripping body 2 and is able to move between a closed position and an open position after passing through an intermediate position in unstable equilibrium. When the lever 30 is in the closed position, the latch 20 is in the closed position, and when the lever 30 is in the open position, the latch 20 is in the open position. Furthermore, the moving means also comprise a spring 47 which is arranged between the slidingly mounted shaft 44 and the transverse wall 32 of the lever 30. This compression spring 47 makes it possible to adjust the position of the latch 20 in the closed position to the thickness of the side wall 61 of the cooking vessel 60.

[0069] According to Figure 2 When the lever 30 is in the closed position, the shaft 44 about which the second end 42 is pivoted is located above the line passing through the pivot axis 34 and the shaft 43. The second end 42 is held in contact with the structural element 10 under the action of the compression spring 47. Thus, the latch 20 naturally comes to rest in its closed position without the user having to maintain any action on the detachable handle 1. When the shaft 44 about which the second end 42 is pivoted moves below the line passing through the pivot axis 34 and the shaft 43, the intermediate position of the lever 30 with unstable equilibrium is reached.

[0070] As Figures 1 to 5 indicated, the detachable handle 1 comprises an opening button 17 which makes it possible to move the lever 30 from its initial closed position to beyond its intermediate position with unstable equilibrium. The opening button 17 is arranged on the upper surface of the gripping body 2. The opening button 17 is able to turn about a transverse axis which is horizontal with respect to the longitudinal direction 3 of the detachable handle 1. The opening button 17 is able to move between a lowered rest position in which the lever 30 is in its closed position, an intermediate raised position in which the lever is in its intermediate position with unstable equilibrium, and a raised position in which the lever 30 is in its open position.

[0071] In operation, to detach the detachable handle 1 from the cooking vessel 60, the user grabs the gripping body 2 and pivots the opening button 17 with the thumb from the lowered rest position in which the lever 30 is in its closed position to the raised position in which the lever 30 is in its open position. The movement of the lever 30 from its closed position to its open position moves the latch 20 from its closed position to its open position through the connecting rod 40.

[0072] To assemble the detachable handle 1 on the cooking vessel 60, the user grabs the gripping body 2 and, following the same procedure as described above, moves the latch 20 to its open position. The user introduces the free end 65 of the curved portion 64 between the inner support 12 and the outer support 14 so that the inner surface 62 of the side wall 61 abuts the inner support 12 and the outer surface 63 abuts the outer support 14 and also the upper edge 66 abuts the two lugs 51a, 51b. Then, the user presses the lever 30 to move it from the open position to the closed position, thus moving the latch 20 from the open position to the closed position. Then, the locking panel 21 abuts the lower edge 67 of the free end 65 and thus locks the upper edge 66 on the two lugs 51a, 51b. The free end 65 of the curved portion 64 then exerts a force on the locking panel 21, which comprises a component Fl opposite the vertical locking component F, which component Fl is diverted downwards and moves the locking panel 21 downwards. At least one of the teeth 26a, 26b of the first right rack 25a or the first left rack 26a fits inside one of the notches 56a, 56b of the second right rack 55a or the second left rack 55b and the latch 20 moves to the closed position. For special uses, especially if the user wants to turn over the food contained in the cooking vessel 60, for example crepes, and keeps the detachable handle 1 on the cooking vessel 60, performs an up and down movement and suddenly slows down the movement at the end, the latch 20 cannot rebound.

[0073] Of course, the application is in no way limited to the embodiments described and illustrated, which are provided by way of example only. Changes can still be made without departing from the scope of the application, in particular as regards the constitution of the various elements or by substituting technical equivalents.

[0074] In an alternative embodiment, in the closed position, the latch 20 is movable between an unlatched closed position in which the protruding body 24 and the hollow body 54 are separated from each other and a latched closed position in which the protruding body 24 and the hollow body 54 cooperate with each other to prevent the latch 20 from rebounding when the free end 65 exerts a force on the locking panel 21 comprising a component Fl opposite the vertical locking component F measured when the latch 20 is in the closed position. In the case of heavy load on the free end 65 on the locking panel 21, the latch 20 moves to the latched closed position.
