Abstract: A vessel cover and/or splash guard for cooking or household vessels, which may be formed from a plurality of individual segments that may be supported relative to one another so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation at different heights, so that they can be fanned out a screen-like manner.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vessel cover for vessels in the form of cooking vessels or household vessels, comprising a cover (1), which is formed from a plurality of individual segments (2), which can be placed on the vessel edge, wherein the individual segments (2) are supported relative to one another so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation at different heights, so that they can be fanned out a screen-like manner for the purpose of forming the cover (1), which at least partially covers the vessel, and can be rotated one on top of the other so as to form a stack in an inoperative position. The known covers have the disadvantage that they require a comparatively large amount of seepage space and/or that they can be attached to a steaming vessel only with the risk of being burnt.
