Fryer protective covering

A fryer including a cabinet having a compartment for housing cooking oil, said compartment to receive therein food to be processed, said compartment being defined by opposite walls extending along the length of the compartment and terminating on upper edges and by front and back cross walls extending between said opposite walls, heating means for the oil within the compartment, manually actuable control means for the complete control of the heating means mounted on the front wall of the cabinet, said control means being undesirably exposed to spray from the heated oil within the compartment during the processing of the food, and a protective cover for preventing the spray from impinging on all the manually actuable control means, said protective cover being readily suspended from said upper edges in protective relationship with the control means and readily removable and being structured so that when so suspended it extends over the top of the control means and partially over and into the cabinet for effectuating the prevention of the deposit of spray in said all manually actuable control means.

For use with a fryer including a cabinet having heating means therein, said cabinet having lateral walls extending along its length Joined by an outer crosswall, said crosswall having a control panel, containing on its outer surface, mechanisms for turning the heating means on and off and for controlling the temperature of the heating means, said mechanism being undesirably exposed to spray from said fryer when said fryer is in use;

• a protective cover for the panel and the exposed mechanism thereon, said protective cover having a member to extend over the surface and sides of the panel to prevent the deposit of spray on said surface, and an enclosure connected to said member to enclose the top of the front wall to prevent the deposit of spray on said top, and opposite slots extending from the enclosure to be engaged with and supported on the upper edges of said lateral walls, whereby said protective cover may be readily mounted on said fryer in protective relationship with said mechanisms or readily removed from the fryer to provide access for setting said mechanism.

For use with a fryer having a cabinet having heating means therein and having a front panel supporting all mechanisms for controlling the heating means, said mechanisms being undesirably exposed to damage produced by spray from said fryer when said fryer is in use;

• a protective cover for said mechanisms for preventing deposit of spray on said all said mechanisms on said panel, said protective cover being structured to be readily mounted on said cabinet and when so mounted to cover completely said panel and said all mechanisms and to be readily removable from said cabinet, said protective cover having means to be positionally cooperative with said front panel preventing the deposit of spray from the front, sides or top of said panel.

A fryer including a cabinet having heating means therein, a control panel on an outer wall of the cabinet, having a the manually actuable mechanisms for controlling completely the heating means mounted thereon, said mechanisms being undesirably exposed to spray from the frying operation when the fryer is in use outwardly of the cabinet, and a protective cover for the control panel readily mountable on, or removable from, the cabinet, said protective cover having walls extending outwardly of the cabinet and enveloping the top of said outer wall of the cabinet preventing the deposit of spray on said all the manually actuable mechanisms.
