Pot with a cover-lifting mechanism

Abstract

A pot includes a pot body, an upper cover pivotally covering the pot body, and a cover-lifting mechanism connected between the pot body and the upper cover. The cover-lifting mechanism includes a piston rod. Both ends of the piston rod are pivotally connected to the pot body and the upper cover respectively. The piston rod extends corresponding to an angle between the upper cover and the pot body when the upper cover is lifted. With this arrangement, the user can lift the upper cover with a less force. Further, the upper cover can be prevented from covering the pot body suddenly to damage the components and electric circuits therein and to protect the user's finger from getting hurt if the user puts his/her finger on the upper edge of the pot body. Therefore, the present invention really improves the practicability and safety of a pot.
