  • Patent number: 10743716
    Abstract: The removable gripping device for an ear-shaped holding member of a kitchen utensil includes a case with a housing in the form of a slit with a height to at least partially accommodate the latter by nesting and with functional play. The case also has a latch able to occupy at least a locked position and an unlocked position in order, depending on the case, to block or free the removable gripping device on this holding member. In combination with and independently of the locking/unlocking function, at least one retaining pad extends at least partially in the slit-shaped housing so as to define, in the latter, at least one passage section adjusted to the thickness of the holding member. The pad, in its part at least extending in the housing is made from a flexible material to retract under stress.

The outer upper perimeter of the container bears an extending retaining bracket provided with at least one opening for the engagement and reception of a hook-shaped end of a latching tab of the handle. The handle also bears a latch mounted slidingly and able to occupy at least an unlocked position and a locked position in which it is pushed back under the action of a return, to extend, on the opposite side relative to the latching tab, under the retaining bracket of the container. The latch is mounted sliding on the handle in a direction forming an acute angle relative to the plane of the retaining bracket so as to tighten toward the retaining bracket under the action of the return to the locked position.
