Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure cooking utensil comprising a vessel, a lid with an annular skirt, and a gasket interposed between the lid and the vessel, said gasket including a ring and a first lip in sealing contact with the top wall of the lid, said utensil being characterized in that it includes a leakage opening formed through said top wall, the annular skirt forming a stop abutment for the ring, said first lip presenting flexibility that is suitable, when the pressure that exists inside the enclosure exceeds a safety threshold, for causing the inside of the enclosure to communicate with the outside through the leakage opening.

Abstract: The invention provides a cooking utensil for cooking food under pressure having a vessel, a lid, and a bayonet-fitting locking system comprising first and second series of locking projections, said utensil includes a lid subassembly that includes said lid and a support attached in pivotable manner to said lid, said lid subassembly and said vessel being configured to be associated with each other in a first arrangement in which the lid overlies the vessel, and a second arrangement obtained by moving said lid subassembly downwards until said first series of projections are lower than said second series of projections, said support and said vessel being provided respectively with complementary first and second guide elements that are configured to co-operate mutually whenever said lid subassembly and said vessel are associated with each other in said first arrangement.

Abstract: The present application relates to a lid (4) for a pressure cooking appliance (1) the lid designed to be placed and locked on a cooking vessel (2). The lid (4) comprises at least one jaw (5) mounted to move radially between a locking position and unlocking position. Said at least one jaw (5) is substantially of channel section, with a top face (10) for bearing on the lid (4), a front face (11), and a folded-under bottom face (12) designed, when in the locking position, to come into contact with the underside of a rim (3) of the cooking vessel (2). The at least one jaw (5) includes a substantially central setback (15) extending in the front and bottom faces (11, 12) thereof so as to define two locking wings (16, 17). The invention also provides a pressure cooking appliance fitted with the lid (4).

Abstract: The invention provides a food-cooking basket for pressure cooking in a pressure cooker, the basket being formed by a sheet of rigid material defining a bottom and side walls of the basket. The sheet is provided with perforations that are made through the bottom and through the side walls. The basket is provided with a structure for adjusting the flow rate of steam passing through the basket via the perforations, the structure being associated with the bottom in such a manner as to enable the flow rate of steam through the perforations at least in the bottom to be adjusted. The invention is applicable to appliances for pressure cooking.

Abstract: The present application provides a food-cooking basket for pressure cooking in a pressure cooker, the basket being made of a sheet of rigid material defining a bottom and side walls of the basket. The sheet is provided with perforations, which are provided at least through the side walls and represent at least 30% of the total area of the sheet. The invention is applicable to pressure cooking appliances.

Abstract: The invention relates to a laminated glazing panel having at lest two sheets of glass and to a manufacturing process. According to the invention, this glazing panel has sheets of glass have undergone a strengthening treatment and at least two sheets of the glass are separated by a silicone interlayer. The invention also pertains especially to the use as a window of a vessel in which there is a high pressure and/or a high temperature and/or a high moisture content, as well as to the mounting of the said window.
