Abstract
The invention relates to a handle for a cooking vessel or lid that includes at least one thermoelectric generator. The invention is characterized in that the handle has a releasable locking device and the thermoelectric generator has at least one first contact surface thermally connected to a thermal coupling part that comes into contact under stress with a portion of the cooking vessel or lid when the releasable locking device of the handle is in a locked position on the cooking vessel or lid.
Claims14
A handle for a cooking vessel or lid that comprises at least one thermoelectric generator, wherein the handle comprises a releasable locking device and the thermoelectric generator comprises at least a first contact surface connected thermally to a thermal coupler, which comes into contact under pressure with a section of the cooking vessel or lid when the releasable locking device of the handle is in a locked position on the cooking vessel or lid.
A power generating device for a handle of a cooking vessel or lid, the power generating device comprises a thermoelectric generator, wherein the electricity generating device comprises a thermal coupler connected thermally to the thermoelectric generator and a heat sink connected thermally to the thermoelectric generator and the power generation device can be removed from the handle.
