    [0001] The present invention relates to the general technical field of apparatus for cooking food under pressure, and in particular to household appliances of the pressure cooker type intended to form a cooking chamber capable of mounting under pressure. 5 in order to ensure the cooking under pressure of steam of the food contained within it. The present invention more particularly relates to a food pressurized cooking apparatus comprising a vessel provided with a handle, a lid, and a bayonet locking system. Pressurized food cooking appliances, particularly for domestic use, are well known. They generally comprise a metal tank on which is intended to be reported sealingly, via a flexible seal ring seal, a lid also metal, so as to constitute a cooking chamber capable of mounting in pressure . The lid is intended to be connected to the tank by means of locking means allowing the pressure cooker to evolve between a lid locking configuration relative to the tank, in which the cooking chamber is able to mount. in pressure, and an unlocking configuration in which the lid can be freely separated from the tank. There are different types of locking means well known in the prior art. One of the most common systems is the bayonet locking system, which is based on the implementation of 20 tank and cover ramps intended to come into sliding mutual support after rotation of the lid to thereby ensure a mechanical connection retaining preventing the separation of the tank and the lid under the effect of the rise in pressure. The cover ramps are conventionally made by localized folding towards the inside of the annular falling edge of the lid, whereas the tank ramps are obtained by folding and cutting the free upper edge of the tank. Such a bayonet locking system is generally satisfactory, particularly because of its relatively low weight, ease of manufacture and reliability. However, it also has certain significant disadvantages, particularly in terms of practicality and ergonomics. First of all, the very principle of the bayonet lock requires the user to return the lid to the tank in a specific specific arrangement allowing the cover ramps to pass through the cutouts in the upper edge of the tank to meet below the tank ramps, in a locking standby position, from which the user can then bring the lid and tank ramps in locking correspondence, by rotation of the lid on the tank. It turns out in practice often inconvenient and not very ergonomic to position the lid on the tank according to the specific specific arrangement referred to above. In addition, once the lid in the locking position, the user must then exert on the lid a significant rotational force in a predetermined direction, which is not necessarily intuitive, possibly coupled to a pressure of lid down. Such a locking gesture is not only unintuitive and difficult but also requires a certain physical strength, in particular because of the friction in the seal interposed between the lid and the tank. In practice, the locking of a bayonet pressure cooker therefore requires the lid to be properly returned to the tank, which frequently requires several attempts, then to seize the pressure cooker with both hands, so as to immobilize with one hand the tank and to exert with the other hand a force of rotation of the lid relative to the tank while exerting a downward pressure on the lid, until the locking configuration. From this point of view, bayonet pressure cookers are generally much less easy and convenient to use than pressure cookers for example, the latter, however, being much heavier than bayonet pressure cookers, and a manufacturing cost generally higher. The invention therefore proposes to remedy the various disadvantages set out above and to propose a new pressure food cooking appliance which is particularly light, safe, quick and inexpensive to manufacture, while being robust and particularly easy to use. .
    [0002] Another object of the invention is to provide a new apparatus for cooking food under pressure very ergonomic, and in particular easy to use with one hand. Another object of the invention is to provide a novel pressure food cooking appliance whose locking can be controlled in a particularly simple and reliable manner. Another object of the invention is to provide a novel pressure food cooking appliance which has a high capacity to suggest in a natural and intuitive way its own use. Another object of the invention is to provide a novel pressure food cooking apparatus which provides a high level of safety in use. Another object of the invention is to propose a new device for cooking pressurized food whose design renders completely useless a possible manual immobilization of the tank by the user when the latter controls the locking of the lid relative to the tank.
    [0003] Another object of the invention is to provide a novel pressurized food cooking apparatus which employs a particularly robust and compact locking control mechanism. Another object of the invention is to provide a novel pressure food cooking apparatus whose design minimizes the manual effort exerted by a user to control the lock. Another object of the invention is to provide a new pressure food cooking appliance whose lock control mechanism is particularly simple, lightweight and reliable.
    [0004] Another object of the invention is to provide a novel pressure food cooking appliance provided with a control member that allows both to control the locking and unlocking in a particularly intuitive manner. Another object of the invention is to provide a novel pressure food cooking apparatus which is easy and convenient to store and wash in the dishwasher. Another object of the invention is to propose a new device for cooking food under pressure which considerably limits the risk of a user lifting the entire apparatus through the lid. Another object of the invention is to propose a novel pressure food cooking appliance whose design limits the risk of the lid escaping from the user's grip. The objects assigned to the invention are achieved by means of a pressurized food cooking appliance comprising a tub with a handle, a lid and a bayonet locking system, said apparatus being characterized in that it comprises a holder attached to said lid so that the lid can pivot relative to said holder, the holder and the bowl being designed to be joined in at least one predetermined relative arrangement allowing said bayonet locking system to lock the lid to the bowl by pivoting the lid relative to the support along a central vertical axis, said support forming a first positioning member which protrudes radially from the lid and which is designed to interact mechanically, when the support and the bowl are united according to said arrangement relative predetermined, with a second complementary positioning element integral with said handle ee, to lock the relative angular positioning of the support and the vessel in a horizontal plane perpendicular to said central vertical axis, while allowing said handle to protrude radially outwardly beyond said support.

    [0007] As illustrated in the figures, the invention relates to a device 1 for cooking food under pressure, designed to cook different foods at a pressure level higher than atmospheric pressure, in the presence of steam, and for example steam. of water. Said steam is generated by heating, within the apparatus 1 and in the presence of food, a cooking liquid, for example an aqueous liquid. The apparatus 1 according to the invention is preferably intended for domestic use, it being understood, however, that the invention may also relate to professional or semiprofessional apparatus. The apparatus 1 according to the invention is designed to mount pressure exclusively under the effect of a heating source (onboard or external), without external pressure. The apparatus 1 for cooking food under pressure is therefore a pressure cooker, preferably intended to be arranged on an independent cooking plate to heat the contents. The cooking apparatus 1 according to the invention comprises at least one bowl 2 forming a cooking vessel, intended to accommodate the food to be cooked and in this case substantially having a symmetry of revolution along a central vertical axis X-X ', which extends in a direction that is similar to the vertical direction when the apparatus 1 is in normal operation, that is, rests on a horizontal plane. The vessel 2 is conventionally made of a metallic material such as stainless steel or aluminum. The tank 2 comprises a bottom 2A, which is for example a multilayer thermal-conductive bottom. The tank 2 also comprises an annular side wall 2B which rises between said bottom 2A and a free upper edge 2C, which is in this case circular in shape, and which delimits an access opening inside the the tank 2. The conformation of this free upper edge 2C will be described in greater detail in the following, in relation to the locking means of the apparatus 1. As illustrated in the figures, the tank 2 is provided with at least one 2D handle which is fixed to said tank 2, so as to project outwardly thereof. In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, said 2D handle is mounted on the outer face of the side wall 2B of the tank 2, so as to extend radially outwardly of the vessel 2 and thus form a catch intended to to be caught manually by the user to manipulate the tank 2 (for example to lift and move it). In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the cooking apparatus 1 comprises two identical handles 2D, 2E fixed on the side wall 2B of the tank 2 in a diametrically opposite manner with respect to the central axis X-X ', said handles 2D, 2E being in this case disposed near the upper free edge 2C of the tank 2. However, it is perfectly conceivable that the tank 2 is provided with only one tank handle, or more than two handles (for example three or four), without departing from the scope of the invention. The apparatus 1 according to the invention also comprises a lid 3 intended to be associated with the tank 2 and locked relative to the latter to form a cooking chamber capable of mounting in pressure, that is to say an enclosure of sufficiently hermetic cooking to allow the pressure build-up of the apparatus 1. In order to achieve this hermetic, watertight character, the apparatus 1 advantageously includes a seal (not shown), preferably formed by a flexible annular seal , elastomer for example, intended to be interposed between the lid 3 and the tank 2, to thereby prevent uncontrolled leakage of steam and / or air between the inside of the chamber and the outside. The lid 3 is conventionally made from a metal material such as stainless steel or aluminum. It advantageously has a shape conjugate to that of the tank 2, for example a generally discoid shape, which advantageously extends in a mean plane substantially parallel to the mean plane of extension of the bottom 2A of the tank 2 (ie -describe a substantially horizontal plan in this case) when it is reported and locked on the latter. In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the cover 3 includes a discoidal cover element 3A of shape and dimensions matching those of the access opening delimited by the free upper edge 2C of the annular lateral wall 2B of the In this embodiment, the cover 3 also advantageously includes an annular belt 3B, for example of substantially cylindrical or frustoconical shape, which rises between a first circular edge 30B integral with the discoid cover element 3A ( in this case at the periphery of the latter) and a second free circular edge 31B, which is for example itself extended by a terminal collar. As illustrated in the figures, the discoidal cover element 3A extends generally along a horizontal mean plane, that is to say, in this case parallel to the mean extension plane of the bottom 2A of the tank 2 when the 3 is associated with the tank 2 to form the cooking chamber, while the annular belt 3B extends substantially vertically, that is to say parallel to the central axis X-X ', the end flange s extending for its part substantially horizontally. This of course does not exclude that the discoid cover element 3A may be, as shown in the figures, slightly domed or curved locally, for example to accommodate a control mechanism. In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the annular belt 3B is formed by a falling edge which extends downwardly from the periphery of the discoid cover member 3A. In this embodiment, the lid 3 is intended to cap substantially adjust the top of the tank 2, so that the annular belt 3B surrounds from the outside the top of the annular side wall 2B and the upper edge free 2C, while the discoid cover member 3A rests on the free edge 2C, by means of the seal interposed between the tank 2 and the lid 3. It is however perfectly possible that the annular belt 3B or alternatively intended to be inserted into the tank 2, so as to be surrounded by and contained in the tank 2, without departing from the scope of the invention. The tank 2 and the lid 3 thus constitute complementary respective envelopes, preferably metal, which once associated form a resulting metal envelope delimiting a closed volume in which the food is intended to cook under steam pressure. The apparatus 1 for cooking food under pressure according to the invention preferably comprises a pressure regulating means 4, such as for example a valve, preferably mounted on the lid 3, so as, for example, to be worn directly by said lid 3 and arranged to maintain the pressure in the cooking chamber at a substantially constant predetermined value, called operating pressure, which exceeds the atmospheric pressure by a value which is for example between substantially 10 and 120 kPa, and which is preferably of the order of 100 kPa. The general operating principle of such a pressure regulating means is well known as such, so there is no need to further describe it here. The apparatus 1 for cooking food under pressure may comprise other operating members (for example an opening safety means 5 which will be described in more detail in the following, an overpressure safety valve. 6, etc.). The apparatus 1 according to the invention also comprises a bayonet locking system, in order to allow the cooking chamber formed by the combination of the lid 3 and the tank 2 to reach at least the aforementioned operating pressure. without risk of the lid 3 escape under the effect of the pressure prevailing within the enclosure. In other words, the locking system is designed to provide a mechanical connection between the tank 2 and the cover 3 which is sufficiently robust to prevent the cover 3 from separating from the tank 2 as a result of the rise in pressure within the cooking chamber. More specifically, said bayonet locking system is designed to ensure the locking and unlocking of the cover 3 relative to the tank 2, by pivoting the cover 3 relative to the tank 2 in this case said central vertical axis X-X ', to thus pass the apparatus 1 of a locking waiting configuration, in which the cover 3 is attached to the tank 2 and rests freely on the latter (FIGS. 1 and 3), to a locking configuration in which the tank 2 and the lid 3 interact to prevent their free separation (Figures 16 and 17), and vice versa. Thus, in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the apparatus 1 moves from its locking waiting configuration to its locking configuration by rotating the lid 3 relative to the tank 2 according to a predetermined angular stroke around the central axis X-X ', in a clockwise direction S1, and moves from its locking configuration to its latching waiting configuration by rotating the lid 3 relative to the tank 30 2 according to said predetermined angular stroke around the central axis XX' in a counter-clockwise direction S2 (FIGS. 3 and 17), it being understood that the opposite is entirely possible without departing from the scope of the invention (direction S1 anticlockwise and direction S2 hourly). The bayonet locking system of the cooking apparatus 1 advantageously comprises, for this purpose, first and second series of protuberances 7A-7J, 8A-8J, which are respectively integral with the lid 3 and the tank 2 and which are designed , in order to ensure the locking and unlocking of the cover 3 relative to the tank 2, to engage, respectively disengage, mutually by rotation of the cover 3 relative to the tank 2 about the central vertical axis XX 'according to said predetermined angular stroke. As is well known per se, the protuberances 7A-7J, 8A-8J of each of said first and second series are intended to cooperate in pairs, i.e. each protrusion of one of said series is brought, by rotation of the lid 3 relative to the tank 2, to pass under a corresponding protrusion of the other series to lock the lid 3 relative to the tank 2. In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the protuberances 7A-7J of the first series, 15 secured to the lid 3, project radially inwardly of the lid 3, while the protuberances 8A-8J of the second series, integral with the tank 2, project radially from the outer face of the the side wall 2B of the tank 2, towards the outside thereof. However, it is perfectly conceivable for the locking protrusions 7A-7J of the cover to protrude outwardly from the lid 3 and for the bowl protuberances 8A-8J to project radially inwardly thereof. The invention is therefore not limited to a particular configuration of the locking ramps of the bayonet system, the essential being that the cover protrusions 7A-7J and 8A-8J tank respectively forming lid and tank ramps , cooperating together by relative rotation of the tank 2 and the lid 3, in this case along the central vertical axis X-X ', so that the lid ramps are positioned under the tank ramps in order to achieve a mechanical connection between the tank 2 and the lid 3 capable of withstanding the internal pressure prevailing in the cooking chamber. In the example illustrated in the figures, each protrusion 7A-7J of the cover is constituted by a volume element obtained by a local volume deformation of the material constituting the envelope of the cover 3, and more precisely of the annular belt 3B the along which are preferably arranged, at regular intervals or not, the protuberances 7A-7J. Each protrusion thus forms a protuberance, which comes from material with the annular belt 3B and which projects from said annular belt by defining on one side a convex inner face and on the other side, in "negative", a concave outer face opposite corresponding for example to the application footprint 5 of a forming tool, preferably a stamping tool. The invention is however not limited to the implementation of specific excrescences 7A-7J, and in particular obtained by stamping as in the example shown in the figures. It is, for example, quite possible for the cover protuberances 7A-7J to be formed by flat tongues obtained by localized folding towards the inside of the free edge 31B of the annular belt 3B of the cover 3. The use of an element made of However, this volume is preferred because it makes it easy to obtain, by simple deformation of material (stamping or otherwise), an excrescence which has excellent mechanical properties and reduced dimensions. Due to these reduced dimensions, it is possible to move the apparatus 1 from the latching waiting configuration (pre-latching configuration) to the latching relative rotation configuration of the lid 3 and the bowl 2 according to a relatively low angle, for example less than 30 °, it being understood that the invention is not limited to a particular angle, which may be greater than or equal to 30 °, or conversely substantially less than 30 °, for example between 10 ° and 25 °. In the example illustrated in the figures, the tank protuberances 8A-8J are formed by an annular flange 20 projecting outwardly from the free upper edge 2C, the notches 9A-9J being formed through said annular flange so that permitting the passage of said cover protrusions 7A-7J, so that the portions of said annular flange extending between each notch 9A-9J form the respective tank ramps intended to cooperate with the cover protrusions 7A-7J which form the cover ramps. Thus, when the lid 3 comes to cap the tank 2, the cover protrusions 7A-7J can pass through the notches 9A-9J to be lower than the annular flange. The apparatus 1 is then in its pre-lock configuration (also referred to as the lock wait pattern), from which the lock configuration can be reached by simply rotating the lid 3 relative to the bowl 2 according to the vertical axis X-X ', which has the effect of angularly shift the protuberances 7A-7J of the cover 3 and the 3036936 13 notches 9A-9J of the annular rim, performing a locking type "bayonet". Preferably, in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the cover protuberances 7A-7B are located on the annular belt 3B of the cover 3 at a distance from the second circular free edge 31B of said annular belt 3B, so that the belt 5 annular 3B forms, below said elements in volume, a self-centering skirt of the lid 3 relative to the tank 2. This annular skirt allows, in cooperation with the quasi-continuous side edge (with the exception of the notches 9A -9J) forming the tank ramps, lid 3 to position themselves naturally and spontaneously centrally relative to the tank 2 when it is deposited on the latter.
    [0008] According to the invention, the apparatus 1 comprises a support 10 attached to said cover 3, in this case permanently, so that said cover 3 can pivot relative to the support 10, for example between two positions respectively corresponding to a unlock configuration and a lock configuration. The two positions in question, between which the cover 3 can pivot relative to the support 10, are advantageously separated by a predetermined angular stroke corresponding to the angular travel required to move the apparatus from its pre-locking configuration (configuration of 1) to its locking configuration illustrated for example in FIG. 16. The support 10 and the vessel 2 are designed to be joined in at least one predetermined relative arrangement (illustrated for example in FIGS. 1 and 3). ) allowing said bayonet locking system to lock the cover 3 relative to the tank 2 by pivoting the cover 3 relative to the support 10 along the central vertical axis X-X '. In other words, when the support 10 is attached to the vessel 2 according to said predetermined relative arrangement, the cover 3 is then in a position from which it can pivot (while the support 10 and the vessel 2 remain stationary relative to each other) so as to lock the lid and bowl ramps in lock relationship. Said predetermined relative arrangement therefore corresponds to a configuration where the lid 3 and the support 10 attached thereto cover the tank 2 so that the cover ramps are located below the tank ramps (after passing through the notches 30 9A -9J), angularly offset relative to the tank ramps. It then suffices to rotate the lid 3 relative to both the support 10 and the tank 2 to eliminate this angular offset and bring the tank and lid ramps in a locking superposition. Advantageously, said cover 3 and support 10 form a lid subassembly, that is to say a unitary element, which advantageously also includes a seal carried by the cover 3 and intended to be interposed between the cover 3 and the tank 2 to give the cooking assembly formed by the meeting of the lid 3 of the tank 2 a substantially sealed character. According to the invention, the support 10 forms at least one first positioning element 12, 13 which projects radially beyond the cover 3 to which it is attached, ie which extends substantially beyond the periphery of the cover 3 in the respective radial direction Y-Y '. In other words, each first positioning element 12, 13 projects laterally from the cover 3, and thus forms a radial protrusion at the periphery of the cover 3. Advantageously, the support 10 comprises an upper portion 100, 101, 102 which is mounted above the cover 3, for example on and against the outer face of the discoid cover member 3A and radially protruding from said cover 3 to extend by a vertical falling edge 10A, 10B which carries said first positioning member and which extends in this case locally facing the annular belt 3B. For example, the support 10 is, in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, in the form of a cross-member, that is to say a substantially elongated part which extends diametrically on the cover 3 and which is extended in this case at each of its ends by respective falling edges 10A, 10B respectively forming two first positioning elements arranged diametrically opposite to the central vertical axis X-X '. Preferably, the cross member in question comprises an enlarged central zone 100, for example of generally circular shape, extended on either side by a first arm 101 and a second arm 102 which themselves respectively terminate in said falling edges. 10A, 10B. The central portion 100 is advantageously provided with a central orifice 100A in which is intended to be threaded an axis 30 fixed on the cover 3, in the center of the latter, and around which the support 10 is intended to rotate along the axis 30 central vertical X-X '. The axis 30 is for example welded to the lid 3 so as to rise 3036936 vertically from the center of the latter, and thus to be inserted in said orifice 100A. Preferably, the axis 30 is provided with a threaded recess for cooperating with a screw 16 in order to fix the support 10 to the cover 3 while allowing the cover 3 to pivot about the axis 30. Advantageously, the support 10 comprises, in addition to the cross-shaped part 5 illustrated in FIG. 6, a plate 17 which has a generally circular shape substantially complementary to that of the central portion 100 of the cross-member and which is intended to be interposed between said cross-member and the face upper cover 3 to form a housing for accommodating at least partly a mechanism for controlling the pivoting of the lid 3 relative to the support 10. For example, 10 in accordance with the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the plate 17 is in the form a plastic cup provided with a central orifice 17A, which is extended by a vertical cylindrical tube within which is to be inserted the axis 30. The crosspiece visible in Figure 6 is itself designed to be fixed (for example by means of several screws) permanently to the plate 17, to form with the latter a subset unitary cross member, monobloc , held on the cover 3 by means of the coupling 30 axis / screw 16, which coupling allows the pivoting of the lid 3 relative to the superstructure subassembly in this case forming the support 10. As explained above, the lid 3 is designed to pivot relative to the support 10 between two positions, namely a first position 20 (corresponding to the lock) and a second position (corresponding to the unlocking) separated by a predetermined angular stroke. Preferably, the first position and / or the second position is (are) a stable position (s). However, it is quite conceivable that one or the other of said first and second positions has an unstable character, so that as soon as the lid 3 moves away from one and / or the other of said first and second second position it is automatically recalled in the other position (for example by a spring). Advantageously, the first position and / or the second position is (are) also a stop position (s). For example, in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the apparatus 1 comprises at least one guide pin 18, and preferably two guide pins 18, 19 arranged diametrically opposite relative to the central axis XX 'and permanently attached to the cover 3 (for example by being welded thereto so as to rise 3036936 vertically from the outer surface of said cover 3, in this case at the periphery of the latter, as illustrated in the figures). Each of said guide pins 18, 19 is designed to slide within a complementary elongate guide groove 18A, 19A formed in the support 10, for example towards each end of said support 10. The length of each groove 18A, 19A is adapted in this case to the angular travel of the cover 3 relative to the support 10. Each pin 18, 19 is further provided with an enlarged section head which cooperates with the edges of the corresponding groove 18A, 19A to hold the support vertically 10 and prevent it from moving vertically away from the cover 3. Said first positioning element 12, 13 is designed to interact mechanically, when the support 10 and the vessel 2 are joined in accordance with said predetermined relative arrangement, with a second element of positioning 14, complementary 15 integral with said 2D handle, 2E which is provided with the tank 2, to lock the relative angular positioning of the support 10 and the tank 2 in a plane ho ricefront AB perpendicular to said central vertical axis X - X ', while allowing said handle 2D, 2E to protrude radially outwardly beyond said support 10. In other words, the supports 10 and the vessel handle 2D, 2E are designed to interact, directly or indirectly, when the support 10 and the tank 2 are united according to said predetermined relative arrangement, in order to substantially prevent the support 10 from being able to pivot relative to the tank 2, in this case along said axis central vertical X-X '. This means that the union of the support 10 and the vessel 2 according to said predetermined relative arrangement results in interlocking of the support 10 and the vessel 2, by cooperation of said first positioning element 12, 13 and second positioning element 14, 15 in this case preventing the support 10 from rotating along the central vertical axis XX 'when the cover 3 rests on the tank 2. This locking of the relative angular position of the support 10 and the tank 2, obtained thanks to The mechanical interaction between the first and second positioning elements 12, 13, 14, 15 allows the support 10 to act as a stationary fixed frame relative to the vessel 2 and relative to which the lid 3 can pivot around of the central vertical axis X - X 'according to a predetermined angular stroke to move from an unlocked state (shown in Figure 1) to a locked state (illustrated in Figure 16).
    [0009] As stated previously, the apparatus 1 is designed so that when the first positioning element 12, 13 mechanically interacts with the second positioning element 14, complementary, the support 10 does not completely cover the handle 2D, 2E, of which at least a part therefore protrudes radially from the apparatus 1, without being capped by the support 10. This means that in projection on a horizontal plane perpendicular to the central vertical axis X-X ', the handle 2D, 2E extends in the radial direction YY 'the support 10, protruding radially beyond said support 10. Each handle 2D, 2E which is provided with the tank 2 thus advantageously extends, in the radial direction YY' and outwards, the support 10, so that each handle 2D, 2E is capped only partially by the support 10, which leaves free an extremal portion of each handle 2D, 2E tank. Thanks to this technical characteristic, the use of the apparatus 1 according to the invention is facilitated, because the user can more easily identify the zone of cooperation of the first and second positioning elements 12, 13, 14, 15 complementary, this which allows it to more easily reach the predetermined relative arrangement allowing locking. Such a design also has aesthetic advantages, as well as a functional advantage by leaving apparent and therefore available for gripping at least a portion of the handle 2D, 2E which is provided with the tank 2, without over-thickening said portion available to prehension, which could make it less convenient. The user is thus not tempted to use other parts of the apparatus 1 to raise the latter, with the risks that this could imply. In addition, the handle 2D, 2E, protruding radially outwardly beyond said support 10, protects the latter and its first positioning element 12, 13 deterioration may result for example from a shock or flame from the hob. In addition, if the user grasps and lifts the apparatus 1 by the handle portion of 2D, 2E which protrudes radially outwardly beyond the support 10, this will have the effect of bringing the support 10 closer together and the handle 2D, 2E due to the bending work of the latter, which contributes to consolidate the mechanical interaction between the support 10 and each handle 2D, 2E. Advantageously, said mechanical interaction of said first positioning element 12, 13 with said second positioning element 14, 15 is a male / female cooperation, based on the insertion of all or part of a male portion into a female portion. to achieve a mechanical locking of angular locking. Said male / female cooperation rests for example on a mutual engagement of said first positioning element 12, 13 and second positioning element 14, 15. Preferably, in accordance with the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the first and second positioning elements 12, 13, 14, 15 respectively have a female conformation and a complementary male conformation. It is however quite possible, without departing from the scope of the invention, for the first positioning element 12, 13 to have a male conformation while the second positioning element 14, 15 has a female conformation. . In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the vessel 2 is provided with two male tank formations 14, 15 arranged diametrically opposite to the central vertical axis XX 'and fixed on the external face of the side wall 2B of the tank 2, while the support 10 has two complementary female support conformations 12, 15 13 arranged diametrically opposite on the cover 3 relative to the central vertical axis X-X ', said female support formations 12, 13 being in the species disposed facing the outer face of the annular belt 3B of the lid 3. It is however entirely possible, without departing from the scope of the invention, said support 10 and tank 2 are provided respectively with a single support and tank conformation, or even that the supports 10 and tank 2 are provided, instead of male / female conformations intended to cooperate by interlocking, of interlocking elements of another nature based on the implementation of a force cooperation (friction, clipping, meshing, magnetic attraction ...) sufficient to lock the relative angular position of the support 10 and the tank 2.
    [0010] Advantageously, and as illustrated in the figures, said female conformation is formed by a notch formed in the vertical falling edge 10A, 10B, whereas the male conformation is formed by a rib advantageously carried by the handle 2D, 2E, and which preferably is an integral part of it. Thus, in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, each handle 2D, 2E is permanently fixed to the side wall 2B of the vessel 2 and embeds a respective male conformation, which is for example in the form a rib which advantageously comes from material with the handle 2D, 2E corresponding. As explained above, the support 10 is advantageously in the form of a cross member which extends on the cover 3 (being connected thereto by a pivot connection 5) and which extends at each of its ends. by respective vertical falling edges 10A, 10B, which protrude radially from the cover 3 and extend substantially parallel to the annular belt 3B, outside thereof. A notch is advantageously formed in the free lower edge of each of said falling edges 10A, 10B of the support 10, to form a female conformation complementary to the rib preferably forming the male conformation. Advantageously, said handle 2D, 2E is shaped to provide a housing 20D, 20E for accommodating said first positioning element 12, 13, when the support 10 and the vessel 2 are joined together according to the above predetermined relative arrangement. Preferably, the rib mentioned above, forming the male conformation of the second positioning element 14, 15, is formed within said housing 20D, 20E, as illustrated in the figures. Advantageously, said handle 2D, 2E comprises a gripping portion 200D, 200E which is shaped to be manually input to allow the manipulation of the tank 2 through it. In other words, said gripping portion 200D, 200E has a shape that makes it adapted to be manually grasped by a user to lift or carry the bowl 2. Preferably, said handle 2D, 2E also includes an attachment portion 201D, 201E which connects said tank 2 and gripping portion 200D, 200E. In the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the fastening portion 201D, 201E extends radially outwardly of the side wall 2B of the tank 2, and supports the corresponding gripping portion 200D, 200E.
    [0011] Preferably, said housing 20D, 20E is delimited by said gripping portion 200D, 200E. For example, in the embodiment illustrated in the figures, each gripping portion 200D, 200E has an internal lateral face that extends substantially vertically parallel to the side wall 2B of the tank 2, the rib forming the second positioning element 14 , Preferably projecting radially inwardly from said inner side face of the gripping portion 200D, 200E. Thus, in accordance with the embodiment illustrated in the figures, said gripping portion 200D, 200E and second positioning element 14, 15 are separated from the vessel 2, in the radial direction Y-Y ', respectively by a first spacing E1 and a second spacing E2 less than said first gap E1, so that the handle 2D, 2E projects radially outwardly beyond the zone of mechanical interaction between said first and second positioning elements 12, 13, 14, 15. Advantageously , said support 10 and tank 2 are designed so that when they are united according to said predetermined relative arrangement, said lid subassembly (which includes at least the lid 3 and the support 10) rests directly against the tank 2 , so as to maintain a vertical spacing E3 between the support 10 and the handle 2D, 2E, so that said support 10 does not exert vertical support on the handle 2D, 2E. In other words, when the support 10 and the vessel 2 are joined according to said predetermined relative arrangement, the weight of the lid subassembly is applied directly to the free upper edge 2C of the vessel 2, and do not exert on the handle 2D, 2E. This means that when the support 10 and the vessel 2 are joined according to said predetermined relative arrangement, the vertical falling edge 10A, 10B does not bear against the handle 2D, 2E but remains separated from the latter by a spacing E3 (cf. 15), the lid subassembly resting directly on the free upper edge 2C of the tank 2 via the annular seal (not illustrated) carried by the cover 3 and intended to be interposed between the upper free edge 2C and the periphery of the inner face of the lid 3. The apparatus 1 furthermore advantageously comprises a control member 11 for locking / unlocking, designed in this case to be handled by the user so as to allow the latter to control the bayonet locking system so that it can thus control the passage of the device I from its pre-locking configuration (also called the configuration of attenuation 1) to its locking configuration (illustrated in FIG. 16), and vice versa, by rotating the lid 3 relative to the support 10 and to the tank 2. The control member 11 is 30 attached to the support 10, in this case permanently, so as to be manually movable relative to the latter between locking positions (Figure 16) and unlocking (Figure 1). In other words, the control member 11 is advantageously fixed permanently to the support 10 while maintaining a mobility faculty relative to the latter, so that a user can manually drive the control member 11 relative to the support 10 from the unlocking position to the locking position and vice versa. The apparatus 1 advantageously comprises a device for transforming said displacement of the control member 11 by pivoting the cover 3 relative to the support 10. The transformation device, which is in particular visible in FIGS. 5, 9 to 13, 18, 20 and 21 is therefore designed to convert the movement of the control member 11 relative to the support 10 in rotary motion of the cover 3 relative to the same support 10, in this case along said central vertical axis XX`, so that the The user can thus control the locking / unlocking by pivoting of the cover 3 relative to the support 10 by simple manipulation of the control member 11, once the cover 3 is attached to the tank 2 according to said predetermined relative arrangement (in which the ramps lid are arranged below the tank ramps). Of course, the aforementioned conversion device is designed according to the nature of the displacement of the control member 11 relative to the support 10 and may implement any drive component (toothed wheel, cam, lever, rod, etc.. ) required.
    [0012] The implementation of a control member 11 embedded on the support 10 and mounted movably relative to the latter is however perfectly optional. For example, it is conceivable, without departing from the scope of the invention, for the control member 11 to be formed by a simple fixed handle attached directly to the cover 3 and separate from the support 10, in which case the setting implementation of a transformation device is not necessary. The use of a control member 11 embedded on the support 10 and mounted movably relative to the latter is however preferred, because it facilitates the use of the apparatus 1. In this case, the invention is absolutely not limited to the implementation of a specific mechanical connection connecting the control member 11 and the support 10. The control member 1136 can thus be pivotally mounted and / or translated relative to the support 10, by any appropriate means. For example, the control member 11 can be mounted with pure rotation around an axis of rotation which extends in a direction intersecting with the direction of the central vertical axis X-X ', and even more preferably along an axis of rotation secant to the central vertical axis X-X ', or alternatively be mounted in translation relative to the support 10, for example vertical sliding (preferably along an axis of sliding coincides with the central vertical axis X- X ') relative to said support 10, or be connected to the support 10 by a mechanical link combining a translation and a rotation (for example a helical link axis X-X'). The control member 11 may thus be in the form of a rotary member of the handle, lever, handle, handle ... and / or sliding element such as a push-button, a slider, etc. In the preferred embodiment illustrated in the figures, the control member 11 is pivotally mounted relative to said support 10 along a radial pivot axis YY 'which is perpendicular to the central vertical axis X-X', and is secant to this last. Such pivotal connection along a radial axis leads to a displacement of the control member 11 relative to the support 10 which is formed solely by a displacement in rotation along an axis YY 'perpendicular to the axis XX' of pivoting of the cover 3 relative to the support 10, which avoids any inadvertent rotation of the vessel 2. Such a rotational movement proves to be particularly ergonomic and intuitive. In the preferred example illustrated in the figures, each handle 2D, 2E equipping the tank 2 extends externally of said tank 2 in a radial direction substantially parallel to said radial axis YY 'of said pivot connection connecting the control member 11 and The support 10. Such a configuration, according to which the bowl handles 2D, 2E are aligned with the axis of rotation YY 'of the control member 11 relative to the support 10 proves to be particularly practical and ergonomic. However, it is entirely possible, without departing from the scope of the invention, for the mechanical connection between the control member 11 and the support 10 to be a pivot connection with a radial axis perpendicular to both to the central vertical axis XX 'and to the radial direction along which extend said handgrips 2D, 2E.
    [0013] Advantageously, said transformation device comprises a gear reduction mechanism designed to drive the cover 3 in rotation about said central vertical axis XX 'in a path having a first predetermined angular amplitude a, in response to a rotation of said control member 11 around said radial axis YY '5 in a race having a second predetermined angular amplitude p greater than said first predetermined angular amplitude a. For example, the control member 11 is adapted to pivot about said radial axis YY between a raised position (corresponding to the unlocking) and a folded position (corresponding to the lock) separated by a stroke having a predetermined angular amplitude. about 90 °, while the cover 3 pivots relative to the support 10, in response to the angular displacement of about 90 ° of the control member 11 relative to the support 10, in a stroke having a predetermined angular amplitude a of about 15 °. Such a gear reduction mechanism thus makes it possible to clearly differentiate the positions of the control member 11 corresponding respectively to the locking and unlocking and to reduce the forces exerted by the user in order to make the cooking appliance 1 pass from its configuration of waiting lock to its lock configuration. There are, of course, a multitude of technical possibilities for achieving such a multiplier effect, and the invention is not limited to a particular gear reduction mechanism, nor even to the presence of such a gear reduction mechanism. According to the embodiment illustrated in the figures, the transformation device comprises a transmission part 20 mounted to move in translation in a horizontal plane perpendicular to said central vertical axis XX 'relative to said support 10. The transmission piece 20 is thus relatively slidably mounted. to the support 10, for example within the housing formed between the plate 17 and the central portion 100 which cap said plate 17. In this embodiment, the transformation device comprises a mechanism for transforming the pivoting movement of the control member 11 relative to the support 10 in translational movement of said transmission member 20 relative to said support 10. For example, the transformation mechanism in question is formed by a cam 110, 111 integral with the control member 11, said cam 110, 111 being provided with a pin which is received in a corresponding housing provided in the a transmission part 20, so that the pivoting of the control member 11 causes the concomitant pivoting of the cam 110, 111, which then pushes the transmission part 20 in the horizontal plane perpendicular to the central vertical axis XX '. Advantageously, the transformation device comprises, in accordance with the embodiment illustrated in the figures, at least one horizontal lever 21 pivotally mounted relative to the support 10 according to an eccentric vertical axis ZZ 'which is fixed with respect to said support 10, parallel to said axis central vertical XX 'and located at a predetermined distance from the latter. Preferably, as illustrated in the figures, said horizontal lever 21 extends longitudinally between a first end 21A hinged to the cover 3 and a second end 21B articulated either to said control member 11 or to a transmission part (as for example the part transmission member 20 mentioned above) which is part of the transformation device and which is driven in displacement relative to the support 10 by the control member 11, for example according to the embodiment described above. Preferably, the horizontal lever 21 is provided with a housing 15 (formed for example by a through hole) intended to receive an axis 22 secured to the support 10, and for example from the plate 17, so as to achieve a pivotal connection ZZ 'axis between the horizontal lever 21 and the support 10. Preferably, said horizontal lever 21 is pivotally mounted relative to the support 10 at a pivot point located between said first end 21A and second end 21B, so that vertical axis 20 eccentric ZZ 'passes through a zone of the horizontal lever 21 which is located at a distance from both the first and the second end 21A, 2113. The articulation of the first end 21A relative to the lid 3 is for example performed by means of a first pin 210A which is integral with the lid 3, and which is for example welded to the outer face of said lid 3 so as to rise vertically from the latter. Said stud 210A is advantageously received in a first corresponding groove 211A provided at the first end 21A of the horizontal lever 21, so that said first pin 210A can both slide and turn in the first groove 211A in question. The transformation device also advantageously comprises a second pin 210B which is in this case secured to the transmission part 20 and embarked on the latter. Said second pin 210B is advantageously received in a second complementary groove 211B formed at the second end 21B of the horizontal lever 21, 3036936 25 so that said second pin 210B can both slide and pivot in the second groove 211B in question. The horizontal lever 21 advantageously has an overall shape of a sickle, with a substantially rectilinear arm extending from the first end 21A to the point of rotation traversed by the eccentric vertical axis Z-Z ', 5 to then extend through an arcuate portion to the second end 21B. The displacement in rectilinear translation of the transmission part 20 in the horizontal plane is converted into rotation of the lever 21 around the eccentric vertical axis Z-Z ', which rotation is itself converted into a rotation of the cover 3 relative to the support 10 along the central vertical axis X-X '. The invention is however not absolutely limited to such a mechanism of motion transformation and it is for example perfectly conceivable to implement, in place of a lever system as illustrated, a rod system, to cam or gear, or any other known system, without departing from the scope of the invention. Advantageously, and as illustrated in the figures, the control member 11 comprises a loop 11A intended to be manually actuated so that it can be manually moved by a user between two preferably stable stop positions corresponding respectively to locking and unlocking. . In this preferred embodiment the control member 11 is therefore in the form of an arched, loop-shaped, arch form, advantageously designed to be firmly grasped, preferably by hand, by a user. The invention is however not limited to the implementation of a loop 11A to form the control member 11 and the latter may for example be constituted by a substantially rectilinear lever, or with a T-shaped profile, L, a pommel shape, flared button, etc., whose conformation allows the user to lift the lid subassembly through it. The control member 11 is advantageously designed so that its manual movement (whether it is a rotation and / or a translation) relative to the support 10 can take place according to either a locking direction or a opposite unlocking direction. Thus, in this preferred embodiment, the cooking appliance 1 comprises a single control member 11 which allows a user to control the pivoting 30 of the lid 3 relative to the support 10 both in the clockwise direction SI and in the direction 3036936 26 anticlockwise S2. In this case, the above-mentioned motion transformation device is designed to transform the manual movement of the control member 11 in the direction of locking, respectively unlocking, in pivoting of the cover 3 relative to the support 10 about said central vertical axis XX in respective opposite directions of rotation. Advantageously, as illustrated in the figures, the control member 11 is pivotally mounted relative to said support 10 between on the one hand an extended position (FIG. 1) corresponding to the unlocking of the cover 3 and in which said control member 11 protrudes vertically. , in this case to the right of the lid 3 to the outside, and secondly a retracted position which forms said locking position and 10 wherein said control member 11 is lowered to the lid 3. In its deployed position, the control member 11 advantageously extends in a mean direction substantially parallel to said central vertical axis X-X ', whereas in its retracted position it advantageously extends in a mean direction substantially perpendicular to said central vertical axis X-X as shown in the figures. In this preferred embodiment, the control member 11 thus has a retractable character allowing it to fade when it is in its retracted position. Preferably, the apparatus 1 comprises a gripping member of the lid 3 which is attached to the lid 3 and is designed to be grasped manually in order to allow the handling and transportation of the lid 3 through it, for example to lift the lid 3 to bring it back to the tank 2 according to the predetermined relative arrangement. Advantageously, the gripping member is in this case only formed by the control member 11 in the deployed position. In the event that the control member 11 is formed by a loop 11A, the cover 3 advantageously has on its surface a relief 23 whose shape is preferably substantially complementary to that 25 of the empty space defined by said handle 11A intended to receive the fingers of the user. In other words, the relief 23 is designed to at least partially fill the empty interior space delimited by the handle 11A when the latter is folded against lid 3. Thus, when the handle 11A is completely folded against the lid 3 , parallel to the latter (retracted position of the control member 11), it advantageously extends 3036936 27 in the continuity of the relief 23, thus limiting the possibility for the user to catch the handle 11A to manipulate (ie lift, transport ...) the cooking apparatus 1. Preferably, the safety means to the opening 5 mentioned above is likely to change, under the effect of the pressure level prevailing in the cooking chamber between a release configuration, in which it allows the unlocking of the lid 3 relative to the tank 2, and a locking position, in which it prohibits the unlocking of the lid 3 relative to the tank 2. To this end n, said security means 5 comprises a movable member 5A slidably mounted on the cover 3, and in this case vertical sliding in a sliding direction parallel to the central vertical axis 10 X-X ', between a high position (Stopper) in which it is capable of cooperating with a complementary blocking element 513 carried by the support 10, in order to block the pivoting of the cover 3 relative to the support 10, and a low position (stop) in which it does not interfere with the complementary element 5B, thus allowing the cover 3 to pivot relative to the support 10. As is clear in particular from FIG. 12, the movable element 5A is advantageously formed by a finger intended to slide vertically within a tube terminated at a leakage orifice formed through the lid 3, so that in the high position the finger comes close to seal the leakage orifice, while in the low position the steam is allowed to escape through the hole in question. Complementary element 5B is preferably formed by a part having a stop surface 50B and a through hole 51B. As long as the cover is in its unlocking position relative to the support 10, the blocking surface 5013 is located at the right of the movable element 5A, on the sliding path of the latter, in order to prevent it from reaching its high position and thus maintain a communication between the inside of the cooking chamber with the outside, preventing any rise in significant pressure of the enclosure. On the contrary, when the lid 3 reaches its locking position, by pivoting relative to the support 10 according to the predetermined angular stroke mentioned above, the movable element 5A is then found at the right of the opening 51B, which allows the movable element 5A to achieve, under the effect of the driving force exerted by the rise in pressure within the cooking chamber, its high sealing position. Once in the high position, the movable member 5A is surrounded by the edges of the orifice 51B, which prevents any pivoting of the cover 3 relative to the support 10 in the unlocking direction. The operation of the cooking appliance 1 illustrated in the figures will now be briefly described. The user first fills the tank 2 illustrated in Figure 2 food to cook, possibly positioning the food away from the bottom of the tank 2, in a perforated cooking basket. The user then grabs the lid subassembly shown in Figure 4 by the bail 11A to lift said lid subassembly to bring it back to the bowl 2 according to said predetermined relative arrangement. To this end, the user positions the falling edges I0A, 10B in the corresponding housings 20D, 20E 10 formed by the 2D handles, 2E tank, the shape of said falling edges 10A, 10B being advantageously substantially conjugated to that of the housing 20D, 20E formed by the handles 2D, 2E tank. The lid 3 thus caps the upper edge 2C of the tank 2, which has the effect of nesting the ribs forming the second positioning elements 14, 15 in the corresponding notches forming the first positioning elements 12, 13, locking and the relative angular positioning of the support 10 and the vessel 2 in a horizontal plane perpendicular to the central vertical axis X-X '. In this predetermined relative arrangement of the support 10 and the tank 2, the support 10 extends substantially radially outwards by a portion (gripping portion 200D, 200E) of the handle 2D, 2E tank, as is particularly visible in FIGS. 1 and 3. The apparatus 1 is then in a locking waiting configuration, from which it is possible, by simply rotating the cover 3 relative to the tank 2, to lock the cover 3 relative to the 2. For this purpose the user folds the handle 11A in an angular stroke 13 of about 90 ', until reaching a folded abutment position illustrated in particular in Figures 16 and 17. This manual movement of the handle 11A from its deployed position to its folded position concomitantly causes the pivoting of the cover 3 relative to the support 10 by an angle α of about 15 °, thus allowing the cover ramps to come into correspondence under the tank ramps according to a nfiguration lock allowing the rise in pressure. At the end of the cooking cycle, and once the pressure within the chamber has fallen back to a predetermined safety level, the user only has to raise the handle 11A to rotate 3036936 the lid 3 relative to the support 10 in the opposite direction and thus disengage the tank and lid ramps, allowing the separation of the lid 3 and the tank 2.
