Title:
COOKING CONTAINER AND FLUTE KNOB
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS6024811
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A cooking vessel (2) is provided with a whistling knob (6) which has an internal passage (26) for carrying steam from a hole (36) in the cooking vessel to a rotary whistle chamber (28) molded to the knob. The whistle chamber is displaced from and eccentric to the knob axis. The lower surface of the knob has a cavity (38) which surrounds the knob axis, providing a steam passage inlet which is in communication with the hole in the cooking vessel regardless of the angular position of the knob relative to its axis. From the inlet cavity, steam passes through a vertically extending passage (40), a plenum chamber (42) and a horizontally extending passage (26) which introduces steam into the whistle chamber (28) at an angle which causes an audible whistle and rotary movement of the steam. The whistle chamber (28) has an outlet (32) which may be opened and closed by rotational movement of a valve ring (14) which extends circumferentially around the knob. The body of the knob is formed of two parts (10, 12) which are separable to permit removal of the valve ring and cleaning of the internal portions of the knob. A temperature indicating device may be incorporated in the knob.
