Publication number: 20230144104Abstract: A handle element for releasable fastening to a cooking vessel, including a carrying body, on which a claw provided by a single-armed lever is arranged, wherein: a clamping-surface pair with a first clamping surface on the carrying body and with a second clamping surface on the claw is provided. The claw can be pivoted between an open position, in which the two clamping surfaces are spaced apart from one another, and a closed position, in which the two clamping surfaces are in close proximity to one another. A closing lever is provided on the carrying body. The closing lever is connected to the claw via a tension rod and includes a control cam, which, as a result of the closing lever being displaced from a not-in-use position into an in-use position, causes the claw to be displaced from its open position into its closed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2021Publication date: May 11, 2023Inventor: Sebastian MADER
