The removable handle includes a proximal end including a gripping surface, a distal end including a plurality of tines, and an elongated shaft extending from the proximal end to the distal end and being bent so that the distal end including the plurality of tines are oriented at an angle that is greater than 45.
A DETACHABLE COUPLING ARRANGEMENT FOR CONNECTING A HANDLE TO A UTENSIL
The present application relates to a detachable coupling arrangement (1) for connecting a handle (2) to a utensil, the detachable coupling arrangement (1) comprises a male portion (5), a female portion (4) adapted to receive the female portion (4), a stop element (6) for preventing movement of the male portion (5) relative to the female portion (4) in an upward direction (A) when the female portion (4) is coupled to the male portion (5). The detachable coupling arrangement (1) also comprises a first retention element and a resiliently deformable second retention element (8) configured to cooperate to prevent movement of the male portion (5) relative to the female portion (4) in a downward direction (B) when the female portion (4) is coupled to the male portion (5), the first retention element having a retention surface and a lower surface (23), and the second retention element (8) being configured so that it engages the lower surface (23), as the male portion (5)is received in the female portion (4), to resiliently deform the second retention element (8) so that it locates over the first retention element and abuts against the retention surface.
COOKING MANAGEMENT DEVICE EQUIPPED WITH A COOKING VESSEL RECOGNITION SYSTEM
A food cooking management device configured to be removably positioned on a cooking vessel cooperating with a hot plate, the cooking management device being configured to emit signals intended either to control the hot plate or to prompt the user to act on the hot plate and/or on the food being cooked, wherein the cooking management device includes a recognition system to recognize a type and/or size of the cooking vessel on which the cooking management device is positioned, said recognition system acting on the cooking management device in order to adapt the signals emitted according to the type and/or size of the cooking vessel recognized.
LOCKING ASSEMBLY FOR A REMOVABLE HANDLE
A detachable handle assembly includes a handle configured to removably engage a portion of the cookware, and a locking assembly carried by the handle. The locking assembly includes a push button operably connected to a locking member. The locking assembly is configured to selectively engage the portion of the cookware in response to actuation of the push button.
Dismountable hand grip
A dismountable hand grip include a connection block, a hand grip, two locking pieces, an elastic component and two pins; wherein: there is a connection chamber at a front end of the hand grip; the two locking pieces are both provided inside the connection chamber and symmetrically connected to the front end of the hand grip through a pin respectively, in order to enable themselves to rotate around the pin inside of the connection chamber; there is a clip unit at the front end of the locking piece, and a compression unit is at a back and connected with the hand grip through the elastic component; and wherein a back part of the connection block is provided with a connection unit which is inserted into the connection chamber, wherein the connection unit is provided with a clip slot, which matches with the clip unit.
RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION CONTROLLED HEATABLE OBJECTS
A temperature controlled heatable object is provided in which a temperature sensor is connected to a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. The RFID tag is located within the handle of the object, and the temperature sensor is placed in contact with the object. In a first embodiment of the invention, the temperature sensor is partially imbedded within the object via a notch located in the side of the object. In a second embodiment of the invention, a temperature sensor is imbedded within a tunnel drilled within the base of the object. In a third embodiment, a temperature sensor is imbedded between the bottom of the object and a slab attached to the bottom of the object. The sensor can be located in a slot formed in either the slab or the bottom or the object. Handles and receivers for mounting the handles to the temperature controllable objects are also provided.
