Abstract
A cookpot lid according to the instant invention has a lid body formed with two vertically throughgoing apertures and a reservoir overlying the aperture and rotatable on the lid body about an axis adjacent the aperture. The reservoir is formed with two vertically throughgoing holes alignable vertically with the respective apertures in a predetermined angular position of the reservoir on the lid body. The holes and apertures are spaced the same distance from the axis. A stop is provided so that in one end position of the reservoir, which is formed as a handle, the two holes are aligned with the apertures for maximum flow, and in the opposite end position only one of the apertures is aligned with only one of the holes for less flow. In between these positions no hole is aligned with an aperture so no flow is possible.
Claims12
A cookpot lid, comprising a lid body and a cup-shaped reservoir adapted to be filled with liquid and positioned above said lid body, said reservoir being rotatable on said body about a central axis thereof, and liquid-dosing means allowing the liquid to drip down from said reservoir into the cookpot when desired, said liquid-dosing means including at least one vertical through aperture formed in said lid body and spaced from said axis, and at least one vertical circular through hole of a predetermined diameter formed in said reservoir and spaced from said axis the same distance as said aperture, said hole being vertically alignable with said aperture in a predetermined angular position of said reservoir to allow liquid in said reservoir to drip through said aperture and said hole into the cookpot.
