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: 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: A set of handles is provided for gripping a first cooking culinary article that includes a first container, and a second cooking culinary article that includes a second container. These containers can be stacked in a stationary stacked position. Each handle includes a stud and/or a housing defined at least partly by a hollow zone of the handle, and a locking protrusion adapted to engage a reception zone and/or a reception zone adapted to engage a locking protrusion. The housing and/or stud of the first handle can engage with the housing and/or stud of the second handle for holding the containers superimposed in the stationary stacked position in which the first container does not contact the second container. The locking protrusion and/or reception zone of the first handle can engage with the locking protrusion and/or reception zone of the second handle, with the locking protrusion located along a vertical wall of the stud, and the reception zone located along a vertical wall of the housing.
