  • Patent number: 11612274
    Abstract: A removable handle is designed to cooperate with a cooking container having a side wall extended upwards by an outwardly-curved portion including a free end and includes a latch that can be moved between an open and a closed positions. The latch includes a locking panel designed to generate a force on the free end in the closed position, under the action of a means of pressurization, the force having a vertical component F for locking the free end against an upper supporting body. The latch has a protruding body and the handle includes a hollow body or reciprocally. In the closed position, the protruding body and the hollow body are fitted into each other to prevent the latch from recoiling when the free end generates, on the locking panel, a force having a component F1 opposite to the vertical component F with an intensity greater than a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 7611179
    Abstract: A removable gripping device for a container has two clamp-forming members which are mounted to a gripping body, one of which can move longitudinally between an open position and a closed position; movement elements which are designed to move the aforementioned mobile member; and actuation devices which can move in relation to the gripping body. The above-mentioned actuation devices are mounted so as to move longitudinally between a rest position and an actuation position, whereby the actuation devices cause a lever to move from the retracted position to the deployed position thereof.
