[0045] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the detachable handle for a cooking container according to the present invention.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, the detachable handle for a cooking container according to the present invention includes: a body 10; a rod 20 hinged to the lower part of the body 10; a pressing member 30 disposed inside the body 10 in a forward and backward manner; a spring 40 elastically supporting the pressing member 30; a cover 50 disposed on the upper part of the body 10; and a button 60 disposed through the cover 50.

[0047] The main body 10 is composed of a bar-shaped structure with an open upper part, and a connecting hole 11 is formed in its lower part.

[0048] The body 10 is preferably made of a synthetic resin material with excellent physical properties.

[0049] Furthermore, at the front end of the main body 10, a support for a cooking container (C, see reference) is integrally formed. Figure 14 The container support 12 on one side has a groove-shaped spring mounting part 14 formed inside it for accommodating and mounting the spring 40.

[0050] In addition, a plurality of anti-movement grooves 16 in the shape of slits are formed side by side on the bottom surface of the main body 10.

[0051] One end of the rod 20 is pinned to the body 10, thereby tilting relative to the body 10 at a predetermined angle, and a locking part 22 is formed on the inner side of the rod 20 inserted into the body 10.

[0052] The locking part 22 is located at a position corresponding to the communication hole 11 of the body 10 so that it can contact the pressing member 30. In order to smoothly realize the movement of the lever 20 and minimize damage (wear, etc.) caused by the movement of the lever 20, it is preferable to use a rotating roller as the locking part 22. According to the pulling action of the lever 20, the rotating roller rolls along the linkage guide 34b formed on the support part 34 of the pressing member 30.

[0053] For example, when the rotating roller is not used as the locking part 22, there may be problems such as the rod 20 not moving smoothly or wearing out due to friction with the pressing part 30.

[0054] Furthermore, the rotating roller, which serves as the locking part 22, is detachably coupled between a pair of coupling parts 26 integrally formed on the rod 20.

[0055] In addition, the rod 20 has an anti-movement protrusion 24 that corresponds to and engages with the anti-movement groove 16 of the body 10, and the anti-movement protrusion 24 can firmly and stably maintain the engagement state with the body 10.

[0056] On the other hand, the rod 20 is made of a synthetic resin material with excellent physical properties, and magnetic components can be added to the anti-movement protrusion 24 of the rod 20 and the anti-movement groove 16 of the body 10 to further strengthen the bonding state between the rod 20 and the body 10.

[0057] The pressing component 30 is used to selectively press the cooking container (C, see reference) according to its forward and backward movement. Figure 14 The pressing component 30 is preferably made of plate-shaped metal.

[0058] Furthermore, the pressing member 30 has a container pressing part 32 that is bent to correspond to the container support part 12 of the body 10, and a support part 34 for selectively supporting the locking part 22 of the rod 20.

[0059] In particular, the support 34 is composed of a bracket 34a and a linkage guide 34b formed by tilting downward from the bracket 34a.

[0060] The bracket 34a serves to firmly and stably press the locking part 22 of the support rod 20, and the linkage guide 34b performs the function of moving in linkage with the locking part 22 of the rod 20 to simply and stably guide the locking part 22 to the bracket 34a.

[0061] The bracket 34a and linkage guide 34b are formed without the use of additional parts, but by cutting a specified portion of the plate surface of the pressing member 30 and bending it downwards, so its forming operation is very easy.

[0062] Furthermore, an embedded protrusion 36 is integrally formed at the end of the pressing member 30, which is embedded and supported in the spring 40.

[0063] On the one hand, an anti-slip coating or anti-slip groove can be added to the part of the bracket 34a that contacts the locking part 22 of the rod 20 to prevent slippage, thereby more stably maintaining the supporting state of the locking part 22. To improve the connection with the cooking container (C, see reference) Figure 14 To ensure a good fit, a rubber cap is preferably provided on the container pressing part 32 of the pressing member 30.

[0064] When the spring 40 is placed in the spring mounting part 14 of the main body 10, it elastically supports the pressing part 30.

[0065] The spring 40 enables the elastic forward and backward movement of the pressing component 30.

[0066] On the other hand, various known types of springs, including compression springs, can be selectively used as spring 40.

[0067] The cover 50 is made of synthetic resin and is bonded to the body 10, and has a bar-shaped opening at the bottom.

[0068] Furthermore, preferably, the cover 50 is attached to the body 10 in a detachable manner by screws or the like.

[0069] On both sides of such a cover 50, a pair of button setting holes 52 of a specified size are formed, and inside them, a pair of constraint protrusions 54 corresponding to each other at a specified interval are formed side by side. The pair of constraint protrusions 54 are bar-shaped, and at least one connecting protrusion 56 is formed between the pair of constraint protrusions 54.

[0070] Button 60 is formed in a resiliently movable manner in a pair of button setting holes 52, which are formed on both sides of cover 50.

[0071] The button 60 is disposed in a pair of button mounting holes 52 in a movable (forward and backward) manner. The button 60 includes: a pair of main body parts 62, the upper part of the pair of main body parts 62 having constraint grooves 62a constrained by constraint protrusions 54 of the cover 50, and the lower part of the main body parts 62 having corresponding pressing protrusions 62b; an elastic part 64, the elastic part 64 being located between the pair of main body parts 62; and a main body support part 66, the main body support part 66 being plate-shaped and connected to the connecting protrusions 56 of the cover 50.

[0072] The constraint groove 62a of the main body 62 is used to constrain forward and backward movement according to the pressing action of the main body 62, and is formed in a way that is relatively wider than the constraint protrusion 54 of the cover 50. In addition, the pressing protrusion 62b is used to press the locking part 22 of the rod 20 from both sides in conjunction with the pressing action of the main body 62 to release the support state of the support part 34 of the pressing member 30. The pressing protrusion 62b is formed at a predetermined angle at the part that contacts the locking part 22 of the rod 20 so that the rod 20 naturally descends through the pressing action of the pressing protrusion 62b. In addition, an elastic part embedding protrusion 62c is formed on the main body 62 to stably maintain the setting state of the elastic part 64, and a plurality of assembly protrusions 62d are formed on its underside to firmly and stably maintain the connection state with the main body support part 66.

[0073] The elastic part 64 is used to make the pair of main body parts 62 move elastically, using a known compression spring or the like.

[0074] A hollow space 66a is formed in the main support portion 66, and the pressing protrusion 62b of the main body portion 62 passes through the hollow space 66a, thereby supporting the pair of main body portions 62 and preventing the main body portions 62 from detaching. In addition, a coupling hole 66b is formed in the upper and lower central part of the main support portion 66 to engage with the coupling protrusion 56 of the cover 50, and an assembly groove 66c is formed on both sides of the coupling hole 66b to engage with the assembly protrusion 62d of the main body portion 62.

[0075] The following is for reference Figure 14 This describes the operating status of the detachable handle on the cooking container described above.

[0076] first, Figure 14 (a) shows the state where the handle is removed from the cooking container C. The lever 20 is tilted by pressing the buttons 60 located on both sides of the lid 50, so that the lever 20 is lowered relative to the body 10, and the container pressing part 32 of the pressing member 30 is kept at a predetermined distance from the container support part 12 of the body 10.

[0077] At this time, the pressing member 30 is held forward by the spring 40, and the locking part 22 of the rod 20 moves in contact with the support part 34 formed on the pressing member 30.

[0078] Furthermore, when the rod 20 is pulled by a specified external force, such as Figure 14 As shown in (b), the locking portion 22 of the lever 20 moves upward along the support portion 34 of the pressing member 30, and is thus supported by the spring force of the spring 40. Therefore, as Figure 14 As shown in (c), attach the handle to the cooking container C.

[0079] At this time, the pressing component 30, while being elastically supported by the spring 40, achieves forward and backward movement through contact with the locking part 22 of the rod 20.
