    专利说明:

    [0001] The present invention relates to a combined measuring, dosing and closure element for a mixing vessel. Such a closure element is placed, for example, in a cover of a mixer, a robot andtlaire or other kitchen appliance and closes the filling opening thereof.
    [0002] With a mixer or a food processor, for most processes, it is necessary to add small amounts of liquid exactly following the recipe before the actual start of the device, for example in the case of cocktails, smoothies, etc. On the other hand, ingredients must also be frequently added during preparation, for example during the preparation of mayonnaise. This problem can, of course, also occur with other kitchen appliances. In this respect, measuring cups are known from the prior art, these being placed in a filling port of the lid of a mixer and being removed to add ingredients, see, for example, the Braun MX2050 device. These cups are mostly of cylindrical shape, the cup edge being often widened in the manner of a flange, thus closing the lid when inserted. However, when the device is used and ingredients need to be added, the blended product that is moved into the blender container may overflow when the cup is removed to add the ingredients (such as liquid or solid ingredients). This is particularly problematic if the filling process is not to be performed quickly, but the ingredient must be added slowly or particularly constantly. The object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the prior art and to add liquids or other ingredients to the mixed product according to the desired speed or uniformity at a time when the cooking apparatus, for example a 25 mixer, is off and when used, without having to open the lid or the closing device of the mixer container. According to the present invention, a closure member is provided for a mixing vessel of a kitchen appliance which comprises an ingredient pouring zone, the pouring zone having an outlet port in the underlying container of the kitchen appliance, and includes a measuring area that is arranged next to or under the pouring area and is separated from the pour area. Thus, the closure element can not only close the mixing container but also act as a measuring, dosing and combined closure element, that is, the closure element can be used as a cup when it is removed while serving as a dosage aid and, of course, closure device of the mixing container when closed. In particular, the pouring zone in the closure element ensures that liquids or other ingredients such as, for example, free-flowing ingredients (sugar, spices, etc.) can be loaded or added without being obliged to remove the closure element and without splashing the kitchen, it is understood that the pouring zone is not only used to "pour" liquids but is also designed to add free flowing substances such as sugar, flour, etc. As understood by the present invention, the "mixing container" means any container of a kitchen appliance in which the ingredients are processed, in particular mixed, either simultaneously or successively. Mixing can also occur because of the only addition, without mechanical action of the device. This means that containers are also concerned in which the ingredients are only added in order to be mechanically mixed in other parts of the device. In addition, the integration of the functions of the dosing element, namely the filling element, the closure element and the measuring element, always ensures that in particular the element having the measuring function is always stored on the kitchen appliance so that it can not be lost, as is often the case in the prior art. Near the outlet, an inlet cross-section is further defined, which ensures a constant addition of ingredients at all times. The closure member may close the mixing vessel directly or it may be inserted into a hole of a lid which in turn closes the mixing vessel and is open, for example, only for the initial addition ( in the off state) or for cleaning purposes.
    [0003] In an advantageous embodiment, the pouring zone comprises an upper portion extending over substantially the entire lateral length of the closure member, and comprises a lower portion tapering away from the upper part and including the outlet in the container of the kitchen appliance. Thus the entire lateral length of the closure element serves as a funnel, which particularly facilitates the addition. Preferably, the lower wall of the upper portion of the pouring zone is at the same time the bottom wall of the measuring zone, and the measuring zone, when the closure element is inserted into the mixing vessel, is open downwardly so that when the closure member is removed and turned upside down, said measurement zone can be filled and used to measure the contents thereof. Thus, for example, viscous ingredients such as egg, yoghurt, curd or dough preparations can slowly pass from the measuring zone 10 into the mixing vessel without the need to hold a measuring cup during a period of time. longer period since the measurement area of the closure element is easily filled, and the mixing vessel is then closed by means of the closure element. According to a preferred embodiment, the lower part of the pouring zone has a substantially cup-shaped or cylinder-shaped side wall which touches the side wall of the measuring zone so that the lateral outer contour of the element closure is vertically narrowed there, thereby forming a gripping area for the closure member. When it is removed from the mixing container, the closure element can thus be particularly well grasped, which in particular allows a larger dimensioning of the measurement zone than in the conventional prior art and therefore allows measurement larger quantities of ingredients, without the weight of the element being of any importance. In another aspect, the invention also relates to a kitchen appliance comprising a mixing container closed by a removable closure member according to any one of the preceding embodiments. A possible kitchen appliance is in particular a blender. However, the invention is not limited to blenders, but in general to kitchen appliances that process ingredients by moving quickly, for example, the so-called food processors. In an advantageous embodiment, the mixing vessel of the mixer according to the invention comprises a lid having a closed orifice with the aid of the closing element.
    [0004] Figure 1 is an overall view of a kitchen appliance according to the invention in the form of a mixer wherein the mixer container is transparent in order to make the closure member visible; Figures 2a and 2b are sectional views along a vertical plane through the closure member, Figure 2a showing the closure member in its operative position, i.e. closing the blender container, and Fig. 2b showing the closure member that is removed from the blender and turned upside down to a position in which it can be filled as a measuring cup; Figure 3 is a perspective view of the closure element according to the invention. Figure 4 shows an alternative embodiment in which the outer wall is not narrowed. Figure 1 shows a possible example of a kitchen appliance mixer 1 which consists of a lower housing 2, in which the mixer motor and the functional elements are located, and an upper mixer container 3 as a mixing vessel. The blender container 3 is closed in the present embodiment by a lid 4 in which an orifice 5 is provided which is closed by the closure element 10 according to the invention. It is, of course, also conceivable that the closure element in the upper zone extends over the entire orifice of the mixer vessel and also acts as a lid, and as such, the upper part of the closure element can be configured in correspondence in the manner of a flange. In the following example embodiment, the closure element 10 has a pour zone 11 and a measuring zone 21 which is separated from it and which is arranged substantially laterally with respect to the pouring zone. . In the view of FIG. 2a, the pouring area 11 has an upper portion 12, which extends substantially over the entire lateral extension of the closure member, and a lower portion 13 which follows the upper portion 12 and extends down. Conveniently, this lower portion 13 is formed on one side of the closure member 10, in Figure 2a on the right, while the measurement zone 21 is on the left. Other arrangements are also conceivable, for example a central arrangement of the lower part of the pouring zone with a measuring zone arranged around it. The bottom of the upper portion 13 is formed of a wall 15 which is slightly inclined relative to the horizontal, said inclination allows the ingredients poured or loaded into the pouring zone 11 to flow to the lower portion 13. A the end of the lower portion 13 of the pouring zone 11 is an outlet orifice 14 through which the liquid or free-flowing ingredients can flow from the pouring zone 11 into the mixer vessel 3. lower part 13 of the pouring zone 11 is formed by a substantially annular wall 30b of the closure element (FIG. 3), which forms a bottom around the outlet orifice 14 so that the lower part 13 is substantially cup-shaped. The measuring zone 21, which is located on the side of the lower part 13 of the pouring zone 11, is limited upwards in the view of FIG. 2a on the one hand by the wall 15 and on the other by a wall 30a of the closure element 10, which in the exemplary embodiment shown has an oblong / annular cross section and is connected to the annular wall 30b at the narrowing 30c. As shown in this example, the outer wall 30 formed by the outer portions of the walls 30a and 30b has a constriction 30c which, as a gripping area facilitates the retention of the closure member 10. On the contrary, in a variant of FIG. embodiment as shown in Figure 4, the outer wall 30 of the closure member 10 is not narrowed but has a smooth transition from the zone 30a to the zone 30b. The outer wall 30 and the walls 30a and 30b are conveniently made of a transparent material, for example transparent plastic. Optionally, the outer wall 30 may also have a graduated scale 31. In the state shown in FIG. 2a on which the closure element closes the orifice 5 of the lid 4 of the mixer container 3, the measurement zone 21 is open down. If the closure member 10 is removed and turned upside down (Fig. 2b), the measurement zone 21 can be filled and can be used to measure the ingredients. These are not necessarily liquid, but may also have a viscous consistency. The reason for this is that to add the ingredient from the measuring zone 21 into the mixer vessel 3, it suffices to insert the closure element 10 in the lid 4 (to close the orifice 5), since the viscous ingredient can slowly pass from the measuring zone 21 into the mixer vessel without the cup needing to be maintained during the process. If, however, the liquid or free-flowing ingredients are to be added in a controlled manner, this is done through the pouring zone 11. Since its upper portion 12 extends over the entire width of the element It is possible to introduce liquid or free-flowing ingredients without any problem, that is to say that it serves as a funnel. The liquid or free-flowing ingredient then passes into the cup-shaped bottom portion 13 and passes into the mixer vessel 3 through the defined outlet 14, whereby regular addition is made at all times. It is conceivable to design the outlet orifice so that it is of variable size, for example using adapters, in order to achieve different speeds of addition.
    [0005] It is also advantageous that the outer gripping zone 30c or the outer wall 30 and the lid can not be soiled from below by the mixed product since the corresponding surfaces are oriented away from the action taking place in the the mixer. In addition, it is not necessary to remove the closure member 10 or open the lid 4 of the mixer container 3 when adding the free-flowing ingredients or liquids. Thus, the closure element 10 with its two zones is always stored with the container of the mixer 3, that is to say the whole of the mixer 1, so that no component can be lost. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown, from which we can provide other modes and other embodiments, without departing from the scope of the invention. .
