Definitions
- Liquid containers in particular microwave jugs
- the invention relates to a liquid container of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1.
- a liquid container with a container handle attached to the container body and with a lid closing the container opening is known.
- the handle attached to the container body has a variable curvature which is adapted to the shape of the hand of a user and which continues via a parting line at the upper edge of the container body in a lid knob connected to the lid.
- the lid is inserted into the container opening and ends there flush with a constriction of the container body.
- the handling of the known liquid container is impractical for several reasons.
- the gap remaining between the handle and the container body is very narrow for large hands and therefore not easy to handle.
- the lid When the lid is removed, the hand must be placed directly above the lid, so that when steaming or preparing hot drinks, water vapor gets into the hand and there is therefore a risk of scalding.
- the known liquid container is only suitable for storing hot or cold beverages, but not for the direct heating of liquids.
- a liquid container known from US Pat. No. 2,592,279 has a container handle in the form of a pistol grip attached to the container body by means of screws, the curvature of which is continued by a cover knob which has an indentation for displacing the cover by means of the thumb to change the Flow rate when dispensing liquids from the liquid container has.
- the lid knob is pivotally attached to the lid, so that the lid can be removed from the opening of the liquid container by swiveling up and pulling on the lid knob.
- it is necessary to move the hand directly above the lid so that there is a risk of scalding when the lid is lifted off.
- Another disadvantage is the insufficient length of the container handle, which offers only a small lever arm, so that there is a risk of unsafe handling when the liquid container is full.
- a pouring vessel with a hinged lid in which the lid inserted into an opening of the liquid container below the upper edge has a lateral extension which is at a predetermined angle with respect to an upper contact surface of the Container handle is inclined. By pressing the extension of the lid, it is tilted and liquid can be dispensed through a spout on the opposite side of the handle.
- dishes can be prepared in a microwave oven in a particularly gentle and energy-saving manner.
- hot water preparation or the preparation of drinks by heating in a microwave oven is also possible.
- a microwave jug made of borosilicate glass for the preparation of hot drinks is known, the container body of which has an opening which can be closed by a lid and a handle. Both the lid and the handle are made of plastic.
- the cover can be positively connected to the glass body by means of latching tongues, and the end regions of the handle are glued to the glass body, a metal tape which is incompatible with the microwave being dispensed with using a special adhesive technique for fastening the handle.
- a handle pin is provided which is arranged centrally on the surface of the lid.
- Another disadvantage of the known microwave jug is the complex adhesive technology for attaching the handle to the container body, it not even being ensured that this only non-positive connection is a sufficiently permanent connection which the Microwave radiation withstands even after prolonged use.
- the invention has for its object to provide a liquid container of the type mentioned, which has a pleasing appearance, is characterized by a high level of operating comfort, safe handling and high durability and which is suitable for use in any microwave oven a lid knob and container handle protruding only slightly beyond the container edge is suitable.
- the solution according to the invention ensures a high level of operating comfort, safe handling and high durability and resilience of the container handle, and enables the container to be used in almost every microwave oven.
- the lever-like design of the cover knob enables safe, lateral operation of the cover. Due to the continuous transition into the container handle, the lid knob is protected against unintentional actuation, since the actuation of the lid knob first requires its pivoting, in order then to be able to remove the lid from the container by pulling on the lid knob.
- the lever-like design of the cover knob also enables the cover knob to be designed in a flat but non-slip manner. This and the integration of the lid knob and container handle into the container rim enables an overall flat design of the liquid container with good operability.
- the container handle merges into a fastening ring which comprises the container body and is connected to the container body.
- the fastening ring preferably has on its inner side rubber, rubber or plastic elements which produce a frictional connection between the fastening ring and the surface of the container body.
- the container handle is advantageously connected to the container body in the region of a container edge. This additional fastening point, which is spaced apart from the fastening ring, creates a broad basis for absorbing the weight moment by the container handle.
- the free end cross section of the container handle is positively connected to the container edge by means of a clamping lug.
- the course of the lid knob has the same radius of curvature as the container handle extending from the fastening ring with a constant curvature towards the lid.
- the lid knob and the container handle have an identical cross-section, which also continues in a transition region in which the lid knob and the container handle interlock.
- the container handle with the adjoining lid knob forms a unit on the outside which, in addition to the advantage that the lid knob is only swung to the side ken can be operated, also has an attractive design.
- a horizontal part of the parting line which runs parallel to the plane of the container edge is arranged in at least one plane in the transition region from the lid knob to the container handle and is delimited by two counter surfaces arranged parallel to one another.
- the cross section of the lid knob and container handle is circular and has lamellae which are connected to one another by a central web. In addition to good grip, this leads to a lightweight, material-saving construction.
- the latter are separated from one another by a separating joint which runs in at least one plane and is formed by two counter surfaces of the cover knob and the container handle which are arranged parallel to one another.
- the parting line runs essentially parallel and unevenly in one plane. indirectly adjacent to the upper edge of the container body. In this way, on the one hand, any pivoting of the cover knob on both sides in the plane of the upper edge of the container body is possible, and on the other hand, by closing the container handle at almost the same level as the upper edge when the cover is removed, the opening of the container is open to everyone Pages freely accessible.
- a course of the parting line in two planes arranged perpendicular to one another ensures that pivoting of the cover knob is only possible in one direction parallel to the upper edge of the container body, in which case one vertical counter surface of the container handle serves as a stop for correct positioning of the lid knob relative to the container handle.
- the parting line is arranged vertically with its two parallel counter surfaces, one counter surface having a bore and the other counter surface having a clamping extension corresponding to the bore.
- the clamping extension serves to advantageously secure the position of the cover knob positioned opposite the container handle.

- FIG. 1 shows a liquid container 1, which essentially consists of a container body 2, a cover 4 closing its opening 3 and a container handle 6 connected to the container body 2 via a fastening ring 5.
- the cover 4 shown in FIG. 2 has a cover knob 8 which essentially extends laterally from the cover base 7. This passes continuously into a transition region 9, which has a parting line 10 that separates the cover knob 8 from the container handle 6, into the container handle 6.
- the container handle 6 has in its end cross-section 11 a clamping lug 12 which, in addition to the fastening ring 5, serves for the positive connection of the container handle 6 with the container body 2.
- the clamping lug 12 is snapped onto the edge 13 of the container body 2.
- clamping lug 12 may have a rubber, rubber or plastic element on the inside thereof creates an additional frictional connection with the container edge 13.
- Locking tongues 14, 15 on the fastening ring 5 and locking tongues 16 on the lid 4 are provided for the positive connection of the fastening ring 5 and the lid 4 to the container body 2. Additionally or alternatively, the fastening ring 5 can be frictionally connected to the surface of the container body 2 by means of rubber, rubber or plastic elements arranged on its inside.
- the cover knob 8 and the container handle 6 have the same cross section 17, which is complementarily complemented in the transition region 9 by a corresponding design of the ends 18, 19 of the cover knob 8 and the container handle 6. Only in the area of the container edge 13 is there a constriction 20 of the cross section 17 composed of the ends 18, 19 in the transition area 9. This constriction 20 results in the flatest possible transfer of the cover knob 8 which extends laterally from the cover over the container edge 13 of the container body 2, so that the height of the container body 2 is increased only insignificantly by the cover knob 8.
- the parting line 10 in the transition area 9 is essentially delimited by two parallel counter surfaces 21, 22 of the ends 18, 19 of the cover knob 8 and container handle 6.
- the counter surface 21 of the container handle 6 is almost on a level with the container edge 13 of the container body 2
- the opening 3 of the container body 2 is freely accessible from all sides.
- the composite cross-section 17 shown in FIG. 4 in the transition area 9 enables the lid knob 8 to be swiveled freely in both directions parallel to the container edge 13 in relation to the container handle 6.
- the lever-like configuration of the lid knob can be achieved 8 for easy opening of the liquid container 1 by applying a force acting vertically upwards in the area of the end 18. If the counter surfaces 21, 22 are arranged opposite one another, it is ensured that an unintentional opening of the liquid container 1 is prevented.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 show further preferred configurations of the transition area 9.
- the transition region 9 shown in cross section in FIG. 5 is composed of ends 23, 24 of the cover knob 8 and the container handle 6, which are separated from one another by a separating joint 25 running in two mutually perpendicular planes.
- This configuration of the transition area 9 has a stop 27 formed by a vertical counter surface 26 of the container handle 6 for one-sided limitation of the pivoting movement, so that when the cover knob 8 rests on the stop 27, the exact positioning of the cover knob 8 relative to the container handle 6 and so that the secure closure of the liquid container 1 is ensured.
- FIG. 6 shows a further variant in the design of the transition region 9.
- ends 28, 29 of the lid knob 8 and the container handle 6 are separated from each other by a vertical joint 30.
- a counter surface 31 at the end 29 of the container handle 6 there is a bore 32 which serves to receive a pear-shaped latching extension 33.
- the latching extension 33 is arranged on a counter surface 34 at the end 28 of the lid knob 8 and, due to its curved surface 35, achieves an unintentional pivoting of the lid knob 8 relative to the container handle 6 in the bore 32.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 show the fastening ring 5, which partially encompasses the container body 2.
- the fastening ring 5 has a circumference for easy sliding onto the container body 2, which only slightly exceeds a semicircle, but which cooperates With the latching tongues 14, 15 arranged in the end regions of the circumference of the fastening ring 5, a resilient positive connection with the container body 2 is made possible.
- relief notches 38 are provided in stiffening webs 37 running horizontally on an inner side 36 of the fastening ring 5.
- FIG. 7 also shows the structure of the cross section 17 of the container handle 6, which is designed in the same shape for the cover knob 8.
- the cross section 17 consists of lamellae 45 arranged parallel to one another, which are integrally connected to one another via a common connecting web 46.
- the lamellae 45 have decreasing lengths towards the ends of the connecting web 46 such that a circular contour of the cross section 17 results.
- the horizontally running stiffening webs 37 are underneath one another by vertically running stiffening webs
- bead-shaped thickenings 40 are provided on the container body, so that when the fastening ring 5 is pushed onto the container body 2 laterally, behind the latching tongues 14, 15 behind the thickenings
- the fastening ring 5 rests with its stiffening webs 37, 39 on the container body 2.
- the thickenings 40 are designed such that they bear against the horizontal stiffening webs 37 which laterally delimit the fastening ring.
- a transition region 41 between the container size 6 and the fastening ring 5 is reinforced.
- a special embodiment of the cover 4 provides shoulders 43 arranged on the inside of a cover wall 42 and extending parallel to the cover base 7. This provides the possibility of attaching inserts to the lid 4 without impeding the lid function, namely the closure of the container 1.
- FIG. 14 shows an insert designed as a tea strainer 47 with slots 63 which, according to FIG. 15, can be inserted into an appropriately designed lid 4.
- the tea strainer 47 essentially consists of a receiving part 50 having a locking projection 49, which merges into a cup part 51 for receiving tea or the like.
- the cover 48 is additionally provided with an inner wall 52 in addition to the cover wall 42, in which latching openings 53 are provided.
- the locking openings 53 aligned with the locking projections 49 in the inner wall of the cover 4 can be formed by suitable webs, so that the tea strainer 47 is inserted into the hollow cylindrical inner part of the cover 4 and the locking projections 49 engage behind the webs 53 of the cover 4 by twisting . So that tea strainer 47 and lid 4 form a bayonet lock, which enables easy connection and detachment of the tea strainer 47 from the lid 4.
- tea strainer 47 and lid 4 form a bayonet lock, which enables easy connection and detachment of the tea strainer 47 from the lid 4.
- the connection of the tea strainer 47 to the lid 4 can be established again and the container can be closed in a simple manner during the tea preparation.
- the insert ring 55 essentially consists of an annular base 56, from which an outer wall 57 and an inner wall 58 extend vertically.
- the outer wall 57 has latching tongues 59 with which the insert ring 55 is inserted into the container body 2 in a form-fitting manner.
- the inner wall 58 is provided with latching openings 60 and a contact surface 61.
- the support surface 61 is designed so that the tea strainer 47 inserted from above into the insert ring 55 rests with its locking shoulder 49 on the support surface 61.
- the insert ring 55 can be closed in a form-fitting manner with a cover 62 which, except for a reduced outer diameter, is designed analogously to the covers 4, 48.
- the latching tongues 16 of the cover 62 engage in the latching openings 60 of the inner wall 58 of the insert ring 55.
- the use of the insert ring 55 has the advantage that, depending on requirements, the insert ring 55 and the tea strainer 47 can be handled as a complete unit via the cover 62, but also the tea strainer 47 with the cover 62 removed in the container 1 can be used. Regardless of whether the insert designed as a tea strainer 47 is inserted into the lid 48 or the insert 55, there is in any case the advantage that the use of the insert means that the water heated in the container 1 is transferred to a container Teapot becomes superfluous.
- 7 rows of concentrically arranged bores 44 are provided in the lid base or a pouring spout is arranged on the container body 2 in such a way that a casting gap and thus a sufficient opening for the escape of Water vapor remains between the cover 4 and the container rim 13, which for handling the liquid container 1 is located at a point relative to the container handle 6 that is safe for the user.
- the embodiment of the invention is not limited to the preferred embodiment described above. Rather, a number of variants are conceivable which make use of the solution shown, even in the case of fundamentally different types.
