A SEALING ELEMENT FOR COOKING DEVICE KNOBS AND THE COOKING DEVICE WHEREIN THE SEALING ELEMENT IS USED

摘要

The present invention relates to a sealing element (1) suitable for using in cooking devices, especially counter-top cooktops, preventing the liquids spilled onto the panel (P) from leaking through the aperture (A) by providing leak-proofing of the apertures (A) wherein the knobs (K) placed onto the panel (P) are mounted and comprising a gasket (2) seated all around the edge of the aperture (A) on the upper surface of the panel (P) and produced from elastic material. The sealing element also comprises a ring-shaped frame (3) produced from hard plastic material and mounted into the gasket (2), and at least one claw (4) connected to the frame (3), that goes out of the gasket (2) by extending in the axial direction from the frame (3), that bears against the lower surface of the panel (P) by passing over the inner edge of the aperture (A), thus providing the gasket (2) to apply pressure to the edge of the aperture (A) on the upper surface of the panel (P). The present invention also relates to the cooking device wherein the sealing element (1) is used.
