Patent number: 5201264Abstract: A cooking vessel includes a vessel body having a spill rim extending outwardly and bent around the vessel body. A vessel handle is attached to a wall of the vessel body. A cover than can be set closingly on the spill rim has at least one cover handle. The vessel body and the cover form a spill and ventilation appliance. To guarantee a defined venting and a simple, more reliable, and also defined pouring with more reliable handling, the wall of the vessel body in at least one peripheral region of its upper rim has a larger slope than in remaining peripheral region of the rim due to shortening the spill rim. A rim of the cover in at least one peripheral segment has at least one arch projecting in a radial direction slope when correspondingly positioning the cover through rotation. The remaining peripheral region of the vessel wall without the larger slope has a circumferential length that is at least as large as the peripheral segment of the cover having the at least one arch.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 1991Date of Patent: April 13, 1993Assignee: Fissler GmbHInventors: Arnold Thelen, Thomas Gerlach

Patent number: 4994652Abstract: A control device for controlling the heating capacity of the heating element of a cooking or heating plate, on which a cooking vessel, roasting vessel, or the like, can be placed and heated. The temperature on or in the cooking vessel is determined by means of a temperature sensor, conveyed to a logic circuit, and used in this for the control of the heating element by means of an output stage in dependence on the actual temperature determined and/or the temperature increase in the heating phase. In order for control of the heating output of the heating element to also be performed during a roasting process with a roasting pan placed on the cooking or heating plate, a program selection switch provided to select between various cooking processes, such as rapid simmering, steaming, warming and the like has a coordinated switching position for each and for a roasting process has an additional switching position.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1989Date of Patent: February 19, 1991Assignee: Fissler GmbHInventors: Kurt Wolf, Wolfram Andre

Patent number: 4900161Abstract: The invention involves a method for measuring the temperature in a heating system of the type having an electrically heated hot plate with a filled cooking vessel on it and a radiation pick-up located at varying distances from the side of the vessel and pointed at it which emits a signal indicating the temperature of the substance in the vessel based upon radiation from an area on the side of the vessel as detected by the radiation measurement field of the radiation pick-up, the radiation intensity of which decreases as a square of increasing distance. To compensate for the effect on measurements of spurious radiation form the changing position of the vessel on the hot plate, the invention involves adjusting the angle of a non-intersecting radiation measurement field to obtain corresponding reduction in the area of radiation detetion on the vesel for increasing distances between vessel and radiation pick-up.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1987Date of Patent: February 13, 1990Assignee: Fissler GmbHInventors: Kurt Wolf, Wolfram Andre

Patent number: 4851645Abstract: A device for determining the temperature of a glass ceramic plate heated using heat coils or halogen lamps with a temperature sensor which emits a signal for a control circuit corresponding to the temperature of the glass ceramic plate. The heat coils or the halogen lamps are positioned in the internal space of a cylindrical vessel-like insulation support, and in which the surrounding wall of the insulation body, under spring tension, abuts on the glass ceramic plate heated by the radiation of the heating coils or the halogen lamps. Adequate control precision can be achieved by having the temperature sensor positioned in a recess in the surrounding wall of the insulation body, and is in a thermally-conductive connection with the lower side of the glass ceramic plate. The recess for the temperature sensor is positioned at a distance to the internal space of the insulation support and thus the dynamics of the control behavior can be adjusted to low hysteresis and optimized.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 1988Date of Patent: July 25, 1989Assignee: Fissler GmbHInventors: Kurt Wolf, Wolfram K. Andre
