DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, a detachable handle for a cooking container according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] As shown in Figures 1 to 9, the detachable handle for a cooking container according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a main body 10; a lever 20 hinged to the lower part of the main body 10; a pressure member 30 arranged inside the main body 10 so as to be movable forward and backward; a spring 40 that biases the pressure member 30; a cover 50 arranged on the upper part of the main body 10; a fixed body 60 fixed inside the cover 50; and a button 70 inserted into the cover 50.

[0019] The main body 10 has a bar shape with an open top and a communication hole 11 formed in the bottom thereof.

[0020] The main body 10 is preferably made of a synthetic resin material having excellent physical properties.

[0021] In addition, a container support portion 12 that supports one side of a cooking container C (see Figure 10) is integrally formed at the tip of the main body 10, and a groove-shaped spring mounting portion 14 is formed inside the container support portion 12 in which a spring 40 is accommodated and attached.

[0022] Furthermore, a plurality of slit-like anti-play grooves 16 are formed in a row on the bottom surface of the main body 10.

[0023] One end of the lever 20 is pin-connected to the main body 10 and tilted at a predetermined angle relative to the main body 10. The lever 20 is inserted into the main body 10 and has an engaging portion 22 protruding upward on its inner side.

[0024] The locking portion 22 is located in correspondence with the communication hole 11 of the main body 10 so as to be able to come into contact with the pressure member 30, and it is preferable to use a rotating roller as such locking portion 22 in order to smoothly operate the lever 20 and to minimize damage (such as wear) caused by the operation of the lever 20. The rotating roller rolls along and comes into contact with an interlocking guide 34b formed on the support portion 34 of the pressure member 30 when the lever 20 is pulled.

[0025] For example, if a rotating roller is not used as the engaging portion 22, problems may occur such as the operation of the lever 20 becoming less smooth due to friction with the pressure member 30, or wear may occur.

[0026] Further, the rotating roller used as the engaging portion 22 is detachably coupled between a pair of coupling portions 26 formed integrally with the lever 20 .

[0027] Furthermore, the lever 20 is formed with a play prevention protrusion 24 that corresponds to and is coupled with the play prevention groove portion 16 of the main body 10, and such play prevention protrusion 24 enables the connection state with the main body 20 to be maintained firmly and stably.

[0028] On the other hand, the lever 20 is made of a synthetic resin material having excellent physical properties, and in order to further strengthen the connection between the lever 20 and the main body 10, the anti-play protrusion 24 of the lever 20 and the anti-play groove 16 of the main body 10 may further contain a magnetic component.

[0029] The pressure member 30 is for selectively applying pressure to the cooking container C (see FIG. 10) by its forward and backward movement, and such pressure member 30 is preferably made of a metal plate-like body.

[0030] Further, the pressure member 30 has a container pressure portion 32 formed by bending the container, which corresponds to the container support portion 12 of the main body 10, and also has a support portion 34 formed thereon for selectively supporting the locking portion 22 of the lever 20.

[0031] In particular, the support portion 34 is composed of a support base 34a and an interlocking guide 34b formed so as to be inclined downward from the support base 34a.

[0032] The support base 34a serves to firmly and stably support the locking portion 22 of the lever 20 with pressure, and the interlocking guide 34b serves to simply and stably guide the locking portion 22 to the support base 34a in conjunction with the movement of the locking portion 22 of the lever 20.

[0033] The support base 34a and the interlocking guide 34b are not formed using separate members, but are formed by cutting out a predetermined portion of the plate surface of the pressure member 30 and bending it so as to be inclined downward, so that the forming work is easy.

[0034] Further, a fitting protrusion 36 which is fitted and supported by a spring 40 is integrally formed at the end of the pressure member 30 so as to protrude therefrom.

[0035] Meanwhile, the portion of the support base 34a that contacts the locking portion 22 of the lever 20 may be further formed with an anti-slip coating layer or an anti-slip groove to prevent slippage and maintain the support state of the locking portion 22 more stably, and it is preferable that the container pressurizing portion 32 of the pressurizing member 30 is provided with a rubber cover to increase the adhesion with the cooking container C (see FIG. 10).

[0036] The spring 40 serves to bias the pressure member 30 when attached to the spring attachment portion 14 of the main body 10 .

[0037] Such a spring 40 enables the pressure member 30 to move elastically forward and backward.

[0038] On the other hand, the spring 40 may be any of various known types of springs, including a compression spring.

[0039] The cover 50 is made of a synthetic resin material, is coupled to the main body 10, and has a bar shape with an open bottom.

[0040] Moreover, it is preferable that the cover 50 is detachably connected to the main body 10 by screws, etc. The cover 50 has a button installation hole 52 of a predetermined size formed on the top surface thereof.

[0041] The fixing body 60 is mounted inside the cover 50 to correspond to the button mounting hole 52 of the cover 50, and comprises a mounting base 62 having a through hole 63 formed therein; and a fixing piece 64 formed at one end of the mounting base 62 and fixed to the cover 50.

[0042] In particular, the through hole 63 of the seat 62 is provided at a position corresponding to the connecting portion 26 of the lever 20 .

[0043] The button 70 is hinged to the fixed body 60 via an H-shaped hinge and protrudes to the outside through the button mounting hole 52 in the cover 50. By pulling the tip of the button 70, it rotates at a certain angle and presses down and moves the locking portion 22 of the lever 20, thereby releasing the support state of the pressure member 30 against the support portion 34.

[0044] Such a button 70 has a streamlined plate shape. A pair of pressing protrusions 72 are formed at the rear end of the bottom surface of the button 70, which are engaged by a pulling operation and protrude outward through a through hole 63 formed in the seat 62 of the fixed body 60 to press the locking portion 22 of the lever 20.

[0045] Moreover, it is preferable that the button 70 has a structure in which the tip is bent upward so as to facilitate the pulling action.

[0046] The structural features of the button 70 make it easier to pull the button, and minimize damage or breakdown caused by frequent pulling operations.

[0047] The operation of the detachable handle for a cooking container described above will now be described with reference to FIG.

[0048] First, (a) of Figure 10 shows the state in which the handle has been detached from the cooking container C. By pulling the button 70 which is hingedly engaged with the fixed body 60 inside the cover 50, the lever 20 tilts and descends relative to the main body 10, while the container pressurizing portion 32 of the pressurizing member 30 remains spaced a predetermined distance from the container support portion 12 of the main body 10.

[0049] At this time, the pressure member 30 maintains the state in which it is advanced by the spring 40 , and the locking portion 22 of the lever 20 moves while being in contact with the support portion 34 formed on the pressure member 30 .

[0050] Then, when lever 20 is pulled with a predetermined external force, as shown in (b) of Figure 10, engaging portion 22 of lever 20 moves upward along support portion 34 of pressure applying member 30 and is supported by support portion 34 by the biasing force of spring 40, whereby the handle is attached to cooking container C as shown in (c) of Figure 10.

[0051] At this time, the pressure member 30 is biased by the spring 40 and comes into contact with the locking portion 22 of the lever 20, so that the pressure member 30 moves forward and backward.

[0052] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 11 to 16, the detachable handle for a cooking container according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a main body 10; a lever 20 hinged to the lower part of the main body 10; a pressure member 30 arranged inside the main body 10 so as to be movable forward and backward; a spring 40 that biases the pressure member 30; a cover 50 arranged on the upper part of the main body 10; and a button 70 inserted into the cover 50.

[0053] A button mounting hole 52 is formed in the top surface of the cover 50, and a pair of fixing protrusions 54 are formed inside the button mounting hole 52 for stably holding the position of the button 70.

[0054] The button 70 is provided in the button mounting hole 52 of the cover 50 so as to be movable up and down, and when pressed, the locking portion 22 (see FIG. 5) of the lever 20 is pressed down to release the support state of the pressing member 30 against the support portion 34.

[0055] Additionally, a detachment prevention wing 72a is provided on the outer side of the lower end of button 70, in which a coupling hole 71a that couples with fixed protrusion 54 of cover 50 is formed. Such detachment prevention wing 72a can prevent button 70 from detaching upward. Button 70 is also formed with a contact portion 74a for pressing down locking portion 22 (see FIG. 5) or coupling portion 26 (see FIG. 5) of lever 20.

[0056] On the other hand, the main body 10, the lever 20, the pressing member 30 and the spring 40 have the same configuration as those explained in FIG. 1 to FIG. 9, and therefore a detailed explanation thereof will be omitted. [Explanation of symbols]
