Cookware lids

Abstract

To provide a lid for a cooking appliance. The lid (12) has a raised top surface, a roughly donut-shaped rim (11) that surrounds the opening of the lid, a grip (21) at the center of the top surface of the lid, and a handle (22) that is tilted relative to the grip. When the lid is freestanding using the rim and handle, the bottom of the lid is lower than the boundary between the rim and the lid. This prevents water or oil droplets from adhering to the underside of the lid from staining the countertop.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a lid for a cooking appliance. [Background technology]

[0002] When cooking with a cooking utensil such as a frying pan or pot, it is common to cover the cooking utensil as needed to adjust the internal temperature, heat efficiency, amount of water evaporation, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3234840 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, when cooking with heat, the steam generated by the heating of ingredients, seasonings, and water causes water and oil droplets to adhere to the underside of the lid. Therefore, when the lid is removed from the cooking appliance and placed on a counter, the counter can become dirty from the water and oil dripping from the lid, creating a problem.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present disclosure is to provide a lid for a cooking appliance that can prevent water droplets or oil droplets adhering to the underside of the lid from soiling a cooking table or the like. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The lid of a cooking appliance for heating according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises a lid portion having a shape that protrudes toward the surface, a roughly donut-shaped edge surrounding the opening of the lid portion, a grip provided at the center of the front side of the lid portion, and a handle provided at an angle to the grip, and when the rim and the handle are supporting themselves, the lowest part of the lid portion is lower than the boundary between the rim and the lid portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] Hereinafter, a lid for a cooking appliance according to one embodiment of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 4 is a top view showing an example of the configuration of the lid for a cooking utensil for heating according to this embodiment. FIG. 5 is a side view showing an example of the configuration of the lid for a cooking utensil for heating according to this embodiment in a self-standing state. FIG. 6 is a back view showing an example of the configuration of the lid for a cooking utensil for heating according to this embodiment. FIG. 7 is an exploded view showing an example of the configuration of the lid for a cooking utensil for heating according to this embodiment.

[0010] As shown in Figures 1 to 7, the lid 10 of this embodiment may be composed of a lid portion 12 having a shape that protrudes toward the surface side, an edge 11 that surrounds the opening of the lid portion 12, an attachment portion 21 provided at the center of the surface side of the lid portion 12, and a handle 22 provided on the attachment portion 21.

[0011] The center O of the lid portion 12 may be offset from the center P of the edge 11. Specifically, the center O may be offset below the center P when the lid 10 is standing upright. Due to this offset, the shape of the edge 11 may be a generally donut shape with a narrow bottom and a wide top when the lid 10 is standing upright. In addition, a hook hole 15 may be provided on the upper side of the edge 11 for hanging the lid 10 on a hook or the like when stored.

[0012] A part of the outer periphery of the edge 11 on the extension of the direction in which the center O is shifted from the center P, i.e., the part that abuts against a placing surface such as a cooking counter when the lid 10 is standing upright, may be provided with a straight portion 16 to stabilize the standing state of the lid 10.

[0013] A hole A may be provided in the center P of the rim 11 to allow steam generated during cooking to escape. However, the location of the hole A is not limited to this and may be changed in various ways, such as the center O of the lid portion 12, as long as it is a position that allows steam remaining in the lid portion 12 to escape. Rings 23 and 24 may be fitted into the hole 16 from above and below to prevent steam from leaking.

[0014] Furthermore, the lid portion 12 may be configured such that, when the lid 10 is in a freestanding state, the bottom of the lid portion 12 is lower by a height d (d>0) than the boundary between the edge 11 and the lid portion 12. For example, the lid portion 12 may have a shape in which, when the lid 10 is in a freestanding state, the protrusion (depth) of the lower side is greater than the protrusion (depth) of the upper side. This allows the recess 17 at the bottom of the lid portion 12, when the lid 10 is in a freestanding state, to function as a reservoir for collecting dripping water droplets and oil droplets. As a result, it is possible to prevent water droplets and oil droplets adhering to the underside of the lid 10 from staining a countertop or the like when the lid 10 is in a freestanding state.

[0015] The mounting portion 21 may be fixed using a screw 26 inserted from the back side into a hole provided at the center O of the lid portion 12. Note that the screw 26 may be prevented from loosening by using a washer 25 for fastening the screw.

[0016] The handle 22 may be attached at an angle to the mounting portion 21. That is, the handle 22 may be inclined with respect to the attachment direction of the mounting portion 21 to the lid portion 12. The direction in which the handle 22 is inclined with respect to the mounting portion 21 may be a direction toward the straight portion 16 provided on the edge 11. This allows the handle 22 to function as a leg when the lid 10 is made to stand on its own. That is, the lid 10 may stand on its own using the straight portion 16 of the edge 11 and the handle 22.

[0017] The handle 22 may be detachable from the mounting part 21. The handle 22 may also be rotatable around the connecting part with the mounting part 21. If the handle 22 is rotatable, it can be folded up as needed, allowing for compact storage. However, the range of motion of the handle 22 may be adjusted so that rotation is limited to a position where the lid 10 can stand on its own.

[0018] The back surface of the rim 11 may be provided with a circular protrusion 18 for engaging with the edge of a cooking utensil such as a pot or frying pan. In addition, the back surface of the rim 11 may be provided with arc-shaped protrusions 13 and 14 of different sizes to accommodate cooking utensils of various sizes. Each of the protrusions 13 and 14 may be provided along a part of a circle that passes through the lowest point of the protrusion 18 when the lid 10 is standing upright.

[0019] As described above, with the lid 10 of the cooking utensil for heating according to this embodiment, when the lid 10 is in a self-standing state, the recess 17 of the lid portion 12 can function as a reservoir for retaining water droplets and oil droplets, thereby preventing the cooking surface and the like from becoming soiled by water droplets and oil droplets dripping from the lid 10.

[0020] Furthermore, according to the lid 10 of the cooking utensil for heating in this embodiment, the part where water droplets and oil droplets are collected has a simple shape of a distorted plate material, which makes it possible to achieve effects such as ease of manufacturing and reduced effort during cleaning.

[0021] Furthermore, the lid 10 of the cooking utensil according to this embodiment has circular or arc-shaped protrusions 18, 13 and 14 of different sizes on the back side of the edge 11, which has the advantage that the lid 10 according to this embodiment can be used for cooking utensils of different sizes.

[0022] Although the embodiments and modifications of the present disclosure have been described above, the technical scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments or modifications thereof, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the present disclosure. Furthermore, components of different embodiments and modifications may be combined as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
