  • Publication number: 20080290237
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mounting device for a bar from which to hang kitchen utensils, such as ladles, skimming ladles, film dispensers, etc. The mounting device includes a mounting bracket and a clip. The mounting bracket is formed of a flat plate extended at one of its edges by a 90° bend. The plate has, on the opposite face to the bend, an engaging device and a central hole. The clip has a U-shaped cross section with a front face connected by a bridge of material to a rear face that has a cutout opening into the bottom of the rear face. The cutout engaging device can engage and slide. The invention makes it possible, using a complementary accessory, either spacer piece or leg, to mount the bar on a flat vertical support or under a horizontal support, and to choose the locations of the mountings.

  • Patent number: 6708373
    Abstract: The handle device for a cooking utensil comprises a grip (16) formed by a plate (11) sandwiched between two strips (12, 13), with a portion (14) of the plate (11) at its front end being terminated by a nose (15) and with a locking/unlocking device (20) being slidably mounted on the plate (11) and urged towards the nose (15) by resilient means (21). The locking/unlocking device (20) comprises a control pushbutton (22) placed at the front end of the grip (16) above the plate portion (14) and a latch (23) connected to the pushbutton (22) by a slider (24) placed in the front portion of the grip (16). This disposition of the pushbutton (22) at the front end of the grip (16) avoids accidental unlocking while the cooking utensil is in use.
