Abstract: A cooking utensil includes a base (3) doubled underneath via an insert (1a) made from a hard material with openings (7) crossing the insert for the fixing thereof to the base. At least some of the openings are in the form of elongated slots (31a) individually defining over the length thereof, a global arched form with opposing end portions either leading to the centre of the insert or to the external periphery (10a) of the insert.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cooking article a substrate having a contact surface at least partially made of metal and coated with a non-stick coating comprising at least one layer including at least one fluorocarbon resin alone or mixed with a thermostable coupling binder that is heat-resistant up to at least 200° C., the fluorocarbon resin and, if necessary, the thermostable coupling binder forming a sintered network. According to the invention, the contact surface comprises an interface layer consisting of a polymer layer formed by plasma polymerization from a precursor selected from among unsaturated carboxylic acids, the salts or esters thereof, saturated carboxylic acid vinyl esters, unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, the salts, esters, hemiesters or anhydride esters thereof, and unsaturated epoxides. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such an article.

Abstract: This invention relates to a cooking article (1) including a metal dish (2) having a base area (20), a concave internal face (21) intended to be arranged on the side of the food to be placed in said article (1) and a convex external face (22) intended to be arranged toward a heat source, and an external coating (3) covering said external face (22), characterized in that said external coating (3) includes between 30% and 50% by weight, with respect to the entire weight of said coating (3), of at least one polyimide having a glass transition temperature Tg equal to or above 250° C. This invention also relates to a process for producing such an article (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a coffee machine (1) including a ground coffee dispensing device (3), a percolating device (4) and a tray for recovering coffee grounds (5). According to the invention, shown in a section along the horizontal plane, the ground coffee dispensing device (3), the percolating device (4) and the recovery tray (5) are arranged in three areas (22, 23, 24) with a substantially rectangular shape and contiguous to one another, a first area with a vessel (22) for the recovery tray (5) and a second vessel (15), a second percolation area (23) for the percolating device (4), and a third adjoining area (24) for the ground coffee dispensing device (3).

Abstract: The device comprises an internal support upper arm and an external support lower arm, designed to work together so that, by gripping, the upper arm and the lower arm push against an internal face and an external face, respectively, of the lateral vessel wall; a tightening arm which rotates around an axis between an unlocked and a locked position in which the tightening arm pushes against the lateral wall and works with one of the two lower and upper arms to pin the lateral wall against at least one of the arms; and movement means designed to manually shifted between an open and closed position and to rotate the tightening arm when moving from an open to a closed position. In addition, provision is made of anti-return means, separate from the movement means, for blocking the rotation of the tightening arm in the opposite direction from the tightening direction when said tightening arm is in the locked position.

Abstract: The device comprises two gripping arms movable to and from a resting position and a gripping position in which they are spread apart from one another and in contact with an inside face of the side wall of the cooking vessel; a fix-mounted gripping member designed for being in contact with an outside face of the side wall of the cooking vessel; and displacement means designed for being manually guided to and from an open position and a closed position and for effecting a spreading of the movable arms while switching from the open position to the closed position. Said device further comprises anti-return means separate from the displacement means and designed for being moved from a resting position to a clamping position in which they are inserted between the two arms and prevent the two arms from coming together.

Abstract: Provided is a kitchenware item for cooking food, comprising a pan provided with a side wall, a handle comprising attachment means for attaching said handle to the side wall, and a removable accessory of the kitchenware item, said accessory or lid comprising an electromechanical device. The handle comprises an electrical energy source and the electrical energy source feeds the electromechanical device arranged on the accessory by means of an electrical circuit comprising electrical connection-disconnection means.

Abstract: A cyclonic separation device for dust and debris in vacuum cleaners, comprising a roughly cylindrical interior cyclonic chamber connected to an air intake, as well as a separator filter located in the central part of the interior chamber, comprising a tube segment to direct airflow to the air intake with this tube segment located around the roughly cylindrical interior cyclonic chamber, from a starting point to an end point near the air intake, with the cross-section of this tube segment near the end point being smaller than that near the starting point in order to form an acceleration ramp for the airflow between these two points.

Abstract: Provided is a removable handle for a kitchen object, having a lateral wall extending upwardly by a part that is curved back towards the outside, the handle comprising an inner jaw and an outer jaw to be respectively brought against the inner and outer surfaces of the lateral wall, the two jaws being mobile in relation to each other between an open position and a closed position wherein they pinch the lateral wall. The outer jaw comprises a groove that can receive the free end of the curved part of the lateral wall in abutment when the jaws are in the closed position thereof.

Abstract: Provided is an electrical cooking appliance with a case (10) forming a cooking container with a vat closed by a pivoting cover (12) mounted on case (10); cover (12) includes a joint (21) forming a spout designed so that joint (21) includes a channel (40) which leads through an initial extremity into the spout and, through a second extremity, to near a condensate reservoir when cover (12) is raised.

Abstract: Provided is a kitchenware item comprising a pan provided with a side wall, a cover suitable for covering the pan and a handle comprising attachment means for attaching to the side wall. The handle comprises an electrical energy source, and an electromechanical device fed by the electrical energy source and controlled by control means, and the electromechanical device is suitable for driving an actuating device that acts on the cover in order to move same.

Abstract: Provided is a kitchenware item comprising a pot comprising a metal substrate (31), and a power supply source (7) connected to a heating electrical resistance (9) with which the pot is provided. The electrical resistance is arranged in the region of the side wall (300) of the pot: either outside the metal substrate, or embedded in said substrate, within either a moulded electroconductive metal material or a plurality of electroconductive metal layers that are interconnected, without adhesive, by deformation and/or physicochemical metal connection.
