Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen cooking utensil accessories, in particular to a foldable pot ear with a retaining ring. Background Art

[0002] Currently, most cookware handles on the market are fixed, which consumes space during packaging and transportation, and takes up a significant amount of space during storage. There are also two types of folding handles available on the market. One type features a retaining ring, allowing the handle to fold. However, the presence of the retaining ring and the folding structure make the handle bulky, making it difficult to stack multiple cookware handles. The other type does not feature a retaining ring. By eliminating the retaining ring and using the entire folding structure to fold with the pot body, the handle can achieve stackability after folding. However, this method requires a new mold for the entire folding structure, which is costly. Utility Model Content

[0041] The slot 11 is used to install the guide column 21 and provide space for the guide column 21 to rotate. The clamping structure can position the pot ear handle 2 to achieve folding or unfolding; the pot ear spring piece 3 cooperates with the pot ear body 1 to clamp the guide column 21 and restrict the rotation of the pot ear handle 2.

[0042] The two sides of one end of the guide post 21 gradually narrow to form a vertex 22. The other end is provided with several evenly distributed grooves 23. The slot 11 is provided with a rib 13, the shape of which matches that of the groove 23. The groove 23 and the rib 13 form a clamping structure. When the guide post 21 rotates around the slot 11, the rib 13 can be switched between the grooves 23. The grooves 23 are provided with multiple grooves, and the rib 13 can be switched between the grooves 23 to achieve different angles of folding or unfolding of the pot handle 2. When the rib 13 is clamped to the groove 23, the pot handle 2 can be positioned.

[0043] The two ends of the pot ear spring piece 3 protrude outward to form a convex position 31, which presses against the guide post 21. The setting of the convex position 31 has elastic force, which can press against the guide post 21 to restrict its rotation, and can also keep the convex position 31 in contact with the guide post 21 at all times when the guide post 21 rotates.

[0044] The convex portion 31 is formed by a depression of one side of the pot ear spring piece 3 toward the other side, a V-shaped groove is formed at the depression, and a long strip-shaped convex portion 31 is formed on the other side of the bottom of the V-shaped groove.

[0045] A protrusion 12 extends outward from the lower portion of the pot ear body 1 and is formed into a lug seat groove 14. The lug seat groove 14 extends downward from the middle portion of the protrusion 12 and extends through the lower side of the protrusion 12. The lug seat groove 14 defines a first screw hole 15 that extends through the lower portion of the pot ear body 1. The pot body lug seat is inserted into the lug seat groove 14. The pot body lug body 1 is fixed to the pot body lug seat by installing a screw through the first screw hole 15 and tightening it into the screw hole of the lug seat. The lug seat groove 14 allows the pot body lug seat to be inserted, and the installation screw can achieve the fixation of the pot lug body 1 to the pot body lug seat.

[0046] The four corners of the convex head 12 are all arc-shaped corners, and the four corners of the pot ear retaining ring 4 are all arc-shaped corners that match the four corners of the convex head 12. In this embodiment, the pot ear retaining ring 4 is formed by bending a piece of stainless steel sheet and forming an overlap at the bottom.

[0049] The pot ear main body 1 is provided with a second screw hole 16 , and the fastening screw 5 passes through the middle hole of the pot ear spring piece 3 and is tightened in the second screw hole 16 .

[0050] The lug body 1 is injection-molded from all-Bakelite, while the lug handle 2 is also injection-molded from all-Bakelite. These lug bodies and handles are more precise than metal-molded handles, limiting styling restrictions. The surface can be sprayed with tactile paint or Bakelite lacquer, enriching the color and feel of the accessories and increasing their customizability.

[0051] Assembly of this embodiment:

[0052] The pot ear is assembled by placing the guide post 21 of the pot ear handle 2 onto the pot ear body 1 along the slot 11, and then placing the pot ear spring piece 3 on the pot ear body 1 with the protrusion 31 facing the guide post 21, and then using the fastening screw 5 to pass through the inner hole 32 of the pot ear spring piece 3 and tighten it into the second screw hole 16 of the pot ear body 1. The pot ear assembly is completed.

[0053] The pot ears and the pot body are assembled in such a way that the pot body has a matching ear seat. The pot ear retaining ring 4 is inserted into the protrusion 12 of the pot ear body 1, and then the pot ears are aligning the ear seat groove 14 with the pot body ear seat, and are patted onto the pot body. The mounting screws are passed through the first screw holes 15 and tightened into the screw holes of the ear seat. The pot ears and the pot body are assembled.

[0054] The folding implementation method of this embodiment is:

[0055] The guide post 21 of the pot handle 2 has a groove 23 and a apex 22. Due to the constraints of the pot handle spring 3 and the slot 11, the guide post 21 can only rotate within the slot 11. In the folded position, the apex 22 of the guide post 21 abuts against the upper edge of the slot 11. Simultaneously, under the pressure of the pot handle spring 3, the groove 23 of the guide post 21 engages with the rib 13 of the slot 11. These two factors together restrict further downward rotation of the pot handle and achieve automatic fixation. When the pot handle 2 is manually moved, the external force causes the guide post 21 to break free from the pressure of the pot handle spring 3 and begin to rotate. When the pot handle reaches its final angle, the pot handle is fully opened. At this point, the apex 22 of the guide post 21 abuts against the lower edge of the slot 11, and the groove 23 of the guide post 21 engages with the rib 13 of the slot 11. These two factors together restrict further upward rotation of the pot handle 2 and achieve automatic fixation.

[0056] The above detailed description is a specific description of a feasible embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent implementation or modification that does not depart from the present invention should be included in the patent scope of this case.
