摘要

The pressure cooker has a safety valve (3) and a lid lock (4) and is designed so that the cooker can be opened without danger. The safety valve (3) is positioned in the lid and automatically opens with excess pressure and lets steam out. The locking device ensuring that the lid lock (4) is kept closed when the safety valve is closed consists of a cam plate (6) fixed to the safety valve (3). The cam plate (6) moves a spring-loaded thrust rod (7) into an opening (9) in the lid lock (4).
