Technological Field: 5 This invention has a wide range of applications, from everyday cooking to professional kitchen use. in the area, both to increase storage efficiency and to maintain aesthetic integrity. For this purpose, it is fully integrated into the body and can be opened and closed when needed. 10 foldable handles integrated into the body, usable with pots that have foldable handles. It relates to pots with handles. State of the Art: Today, kitchen appliances prioritize aesthetics, ease of hygiene, and compactness. Storage requirements are becoming increasingly important. Users, especially in modern kitchen designs, smooth surfaces, minimalist lines and They are turning to solutions where deprecated parts become invisible. However, the current Most pot handle technologies are limited in meeting these expectations. It remains. Especially the handles that are left outside, foldable or removable 20 The fact that the parts require visible housings and additional mechanisms is in line with current design principles. It is contradictory. In current designs, handles are typically foldable, removable, or clip-on to the body. They are based on mechanisms, and these designs include handle housings, connecting parts or 25 The rivet areas are always visible on the outer surface. This visible mechanical feature... The elements create gaps that are difficult to clean; suitable for the accumulation of oil, dirt and liquids. They create surfaces.

It can remain at an angle; the pot lid can also be placed over a rice basin. 20 The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, easy production, and high practicality. The invention described above involves a device that is either directly integrated into the body or secured with a clip. Because of its structure, it always leaves a visible gripping element on the product and completely It does not offer a retractable mechanism. In this model, the pot handle is a fixed or semi-fixed 25 Because it remains outside in that position, the space it occupies during storage cannot be reduced, and Space efficiency cannot be achieved in cabinets, shelves, or dishwashers. Furthermore, design and aesthetics are also important. More focused on practical placement and lid holder function than appearance. Therefore, the appearance of protrusions and mechanical attachments on the outer surface is inevitable. This situation not only meets the need for a simple and integrated design, but also the same 30 Over time, rivets or gaps in the pot walls can trap dirt and grease, making them difficult to clean. It forms clip zones. It is susceptible to loosening and damage with prolonged use. 4 This indicates that the structure offers a limited solution in terms of hygiene and durability. Therefore, this model offers the invisible handle sought after in modern, flat-surfaced kitchen products. a structure that does not meet criteria such as silent mechanism, surface integrity and hygiene It has a design approach.
