Abstract: The invention relates to a piston for a cylinder, in particular a brake piston for a brake cylinder, made of a plastic. Such a piston is improved so that the piston is not damaged by wear, and furthermore can be manufactured inexpensively within the prescribed tolerances. Furthermore contact of the hydraulic fluid with the plastic of the piston is prevented. This is achieved by the piston being provided with a container, made out of metal, which at least partially covers the outer surface of the piston and is adapted to be brought into contact with the cylinder wall.

Abstract: Cookers working with an increasing internal pressure require a pressure indicator which can also adjust the internal pressure to a certain extent and, especially in the event of excessively high internal pressure, to release it by pressure equalization with the environment. Such pressure indicators consist of many parts and are complicated and not easily handlable for cleaning purposes. The invention proposes a pressure indicator which may consist of only a single component (2) besides the pressure indicator pin (1), being made of an elastic material and is multifunctional.

Abstract: A valve is needed in a cooking utensil operating with an increased internal pressure, which valve is at the same time also capable of regulating the internal pressure, and, in particular, takes care that a nonpermissibly high internal pressure is reduced through a pressure release with the outside. Such valves are designed with many parts and are complicated and are difficult to handle also during cleaning. The invention provides a valve, which is manufactured essentially of a single piece of a rubber-elastic material, and permits at the same time to carry out all of the necessary functions.

Abstract: A handle can be attached on a cooking pot, frying pan or the like frictionally and possibly also form-lockingly without a separate connecting element, wherein the fastened handle can be released from the rigid anchoring element on the cooking utensil. Through suitable openings in the handle attachment, a separating tool can be moved between two surfaces of the two fastening pieces which surfaces face one another and, with the help of the separating tool, a jerk-free release of the handle takes place. A conventional screwdriver can be used as the separating tool.
