DESC:FIELD OF INVENTION:

The invention relates to pressure cooker.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION:

The invention relates to a pressure cooker which can be used on a range of heat devices, such as gas stove, hot plates, halogen ceramic and induction, which incorporates a new feature in the design of the lid of a Pressure cooker, which can contain the flow of the froth and enabling a clean cooking experience without the spilling at the surroundings, thus ensuring a convenient cooking.

The above object is accomplished by making a pressure cooker and the lid in the form illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:

At present, the outer lid Pressure Cookers with a pressure release valve (Whistling weight valve) that can be used on a Gas Stove/Hot Plate/Halogen/Ceramic and Induction, have a dome shape in common.

This design (Outer lid of this cooker) of pressure cooker has been done with a unique lid design and aesthetics which is not only easy to use, but also is very compact.

The Pressure Cookers with a whistling weight valve that can be used on a Gas Stove/Hot Plate/Halogen/Ceramic and Induction when used for cooking food items like Dhal, Rice etc., the frothing from the weight valve is common and most of the times, the froth flows down towards the heating source through the lid surface. At times the frothing is so severe to the extent of extinguishing the flame in the gas stove or soiling the Gas stove, Induction or other electric/ electronic heat sources.

The invention (outer lid of the cooker) incorporates a feature in the lid design which prevents the froth from flowing down the lid of the cooker thus ensuring a safer, a cleaner cooking experience. The lid is a multiple level lid and as central depend portion type structure with peripheral walls to contain the froth leaking out of the weight within the lid. Further a contour is created to contain the froth leaking out the pressure release valve within the lid.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As shown in the figure 1, the pressure cooker contains below parts.
1. Body
2. Body Handle
3. Auxiliary Handle
4. Cover Handle
5. Whistling weight valve assembly
6. Cover

The handle portion on lid and the handle portion on body are designed to be urged in contact with. The design of the lid profile as shown in Figure 1-5 and it is not like any of the lid designs available in the market. The Outer Lid of Pressure Cooker is made in various sizes, with this design feature.

The figure 1 illustrate the Lid and Body.

The Lid is matched to the body by using the handles provided in the body and lid. The profile of the lid is shaped entirely different from the lids of the pressure cookers available at present. The invention prevents the froth as it comes from the valve stem of the pressure means during the time of the functioning of the weight valve from flowing down the lid and contains them within the contour provided in it. Such froths collected at the lid, due to high temperature of the lid surface gets evaporated very soon, thereby preventing dropping of the froth.
Figure 2-5 shows the lid with features to collect the froth created when the pressure is built-up and released during the operation of the cooker. The outer Lid Pressure Cooker is made in various sizes, with this unique feature.

The Figure 2-5 shows the lid and the Body in assembled and dismantled condition and also a section view of the assembled cooker. During the cooking of food items like Rice, Dhal etc using this cooker the froths coming out of the valve stem and the whistle flows down to the lid and the specially contoured lid made using sophisticated tooling mechanism developed, contains the froths on its surface which is aided by a rim portion raised in nature when compared with the inner surface level.

The high temperature of the lid surface reached during the cooking makes the liquids collected by the lid due to the frothing, to evaporate and dry. Thus the invention prevents the froth from spilling down to the cooking area or on to the heating source.

THE ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION IS :-

1. The lid design is very unique, different from the lids anywhere in the market, which is compact, occupies less space.

2. Easy to handle for cooking and clean

3. An outer lid pressure cooker with a lid fitted with whistling weight valve prevents the spilling of froth during cooking of food items like rice, dhal etc.

4. Cleaner cooking surroundings as the froths are contained and dried within the top surface of the lid thus making the cleaning lot easier and minimal.

5. A compact lid shape which occupies lesser space than the lids of the present pressure cookers.

6. The prevention of drop of froth outside of the pressure cooker will provide a safe cooking as it will not hinder the heating means by putting them off during the cooking process.

7. The design and material of the embossing lid ensures a quick dry of froth generated during cooking.

The domestic pressure cooker as disclosed in the invention comprises of a body and a lid and a pressure control means wherein the lid is an outer lid adapted to be fitted onto the body of the cooker. This cooker is novel in having a lid with a cavity formed on the surface of the lid to collect the froth flowing out from the pressure control means.

The disclosure has been made with an embodiment and it will be readily apparent that those skilled in the art can make minor changes and provide equivalent designs for a pressure cooker handle without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention. It is therefore apparent that the invention is not to be restricted to the specific handle design illustrate but also variants are covered.

The applicant relies upon the provisional specification and drawings filed in this application and shall be considered as part and parcel of complete specification. ,CLAIMS:1. A domestic pressure cooker comprising of a body and a lid and a pressure control means wherein the lid is an outer lid adapted to be fitted onto the body of the cooker and characterised in having a lid with a cavity formed on the surface of the lid to collect the froth flowing out from the pressure control means.
