Benefits of technology

[0007]Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to provide a stackable cover to solve the problem in the prior art that the cover of a container is difficult to be stored and a large storage space is occupied.
[0008]In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a stackable cover, which includes a central portion, a peripheral portion, at least one recess, and an opening. The peripheral portion is formed around the central portion. The recess is formed on a surface of the central portion corresponding to a protruding part formed on a bottom surface of the central portion. At least one protrusion is formed on a side wall of the recess. The opening is formed on a side edge of the central portion and cuts off the peripheral portion. The bottom surface of a stackable cover matches the top surface of another stackable cover, wherein the protruding part of the former stackable cover is engaged into the recess of the later the stackable cover, two or more stackable are capable of being stacked and conveniently stored.
[0009]The stackable cover of the present invention employs two or more recesses to replace the protruded handles on the conventional cover. Therefore, a plurality of stackable covers of the present invention can be stacked together in sequence, so as to eliminate the disadvantages that the protruded handle occupies a large space and the cover cannot be stacked due to the protruded handle. Furthermore, the protrusions in the recess of the present invention provide supporting and anti-slipping effects when the user holds the cover. Therefore, the cover of the present invention has the advantages of being conveniently stored, saving the stacking space, and being tidy and clean.

Problems solved by technology

As many cooking methods appeared, for example, pan-frying, boiling, roasting / baking, and deep-frying, various cookware are also brought into the kitchen, and as a result, the kitchen is in disorder and it is difficult to clean up.
However, the cover is usually inconvenient for being stored.
Particularly, it is difficult for various covers to match with each other, and furthermore, most of the conventional pot covers have protruded handles, so that the covers are difficult for being stacked.
Even if the user uses the same type of covers, the covers have handles, so that the same type of covers still cannot be stacked together.
Therefore, the pot covers are difficult for being stored, and a large storage space is occupied.
What's worse, the covers may be lost due to the improper storage, and thereby affecting the cooking time of the food, and food sanitation, etc.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]In order to make the objective, construction, feature, and function of the present invention be more comprehensible, the present invention is described below in detail through embodiments.

[0020]Referring to FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C, a stackable cover 100 of a first embodiment of the present invention is used to cover a container 150, such as pot, boiler, or steam pan, for cooking and boiling food. Although the container 150 of the present invention takes a cooking pot as an example, the stackable cover 100 of the present invention is not limited to being applied on the cooking pot. The stackable cover 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention includes a central portion 110, a peripheral portion 120, two recesses 130, and an opening 140. The stackable cover 100 is monolithically formed, for example, through die casting process or stamping.

[0021]Referring to FIGS. 1A, 1B, and 1C, the peripheral portion 120 is formed around the central portion 110 for contacting and coveri...

Abstract

A stackable cover for a container includes a central portion, a peripheral portion, at two recesses, and an opening. The peripheral portion is formed on a peripheral of the central portion. Each of the recess is formed on a top surface of the central portion with a corresponding protruding part formed on a bottom surface of the central portion. At least one protrusion is formed on a side wall of the recess. The opening is formed on a side edge of the peripheral portion and the central portion. The bottom surface of a stackable cover matches the top surface of another stackable cover, wherein the protruding part of the former stackable cover is engaged into the recess of the later the stackable cover, two or more stackable are capable of being stacked and conveniently stored.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a cover of a container. More particularly, the present invention relates to a stackable cover capable of being stacked and being conveniently stored.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Cookware is indispensable in people's daily life. As many cooking methods appeared, for example, pan-frying, boiling, roasting / baking, and deep-frying, various cookware are also brought into the kitchen, and as a result, the kitchen is in disorder and it is difficult to clean up.[0005]Generally, a cooking pot set has two parts, namely, a pot and a cover, in which the cover enables the pot to have better heating efficiency and provides desirable shielding property for the pot as well, so as to prevent foreign objects from falling into the pot during cooking. However, the cover is usually inconvenient for being stored. Particularly, it is difficult for various covers to match with each other, and furthermore, most of ...
