Saucepan lid with detachable handle

摘要

The invention relates to a saucepan lid having a lid handle detachably secured thereto, particularly for a steam pressure cooker, including monitoring elements disposed within said lid handle. Means are provided for permitting said handle to be detached from said lid without technical difficulties and to be safely re-attached thereto. To this effect the lid and lid handle are provided with projections and engagement recesses at locations permitting them to be brought into mutual engagement for attaching the handle to the lid and to be readily released from such engagement for detaching the handle, at least one such projection forming a movable component of a locking closure means. In a preferred embodiment the locking closure means is designed as a snap-engagement locking means (FIG. 1).
