Abstract
A work station has a cooking kettle mounted for movement between an upright cooking position and a tilted pouring position. The work station includes a support structure defining a work surface above which the cooking kettle is mounted. A splash guard is mounted on the support structure for movement between a first position whereat the splash guard forms a portion of the work surface and a second position whereat the splash guard forms a barrier against splashing substances poured from the kettle when in its pouring position.
Claims25
A work station at which a cooking kettle is mounted for movement between an upright cooking position and a tilted pouring position, comprising:
- a support structure defining a work surface above which the cooking kettle is mounted;
- and
- a splash guard mounted on the support structure for movement between a generally horizontal first position whereat the splash guard forms a portion of the work surface and a second generally upright position whereat the splash guard forms a barrier against splashing substances poured from the kettle when in its pouring position.
A work station at which a cooking kettle is mounted for movement between an upright cooking position and a tilted pouring position, comprising:
- a support structure on which the cooking kettle is mounted;
- and
- a splash guard mounted adjacent the support structure for movement between a generally horizontal first position whereat the splash guard forms a work surface and a generally upright position whereat the splash guard forms a barrier against splashing substances poured from the kettle when in its pouring position.
A work station at which a cooking kettle is mounted for movement between an upright cooking position and a tilted pouring position, comprising:
- a generally planar support structure defining a work surface above which the cooking kettle is mounted;
- and
- a splash guard mounted on the support structure for movement between a first position whereat a generally planar plate portion of the splash guard forms a continuation of the planar work surface and a second position whereat the splash guard forms a barrier against splashing substances poured from the kettle when in its pouring position.
A work station at which a cooking kettle is mounted for movement between an upright cooking position and a tilted pouring position, comprising:
- a support structure defining a work surface above which the cooking kettle is mounted;
- a splash guard mounted on the support structure for movement between a first position whereat the splash guard forms a portion of the work surface and a second position whereat the splash guard forms a barrier against splashing substances poured from the kettle when in its pouring position;
- and
- pivot means pivotally mounting the splash guard for movement between said first and second positions.
A work station at which a cooking kettle is mounted for movement between an upright cooking position and a tilted pouring position, comprising:
- a support structure defining a work surface above which the cooking kettle is mounted;
- a splash guard mounted on the support structure for movement between a first position whereat the splash guard forms a portion of the work surface and a second position whereat the splash guard forms a barrier against splashing substances poured from the kettle when in its pouring position;
- and
- a sink on the support structure in the work surface beneath the splash guard such that the splash guard covers the sink in said first position and exposes the sink in said second position.
A work station at which a cooking kettle is mounted for movement between an upright cooking position and a tilted pouring position, comprising:
- a support structure defining a generally planar work surface above which the cooking kettle is mounted, and a sink on the support structure in the work surface adjacent the kettle;
- and
- a splash guard mounted on the support structure generally at the top of the sink by pivot means providing for pivotal movement of the splash guard between a first position whereat the splash guard forms a portion of the work surface and a second position at an angle to the first position and whereat the splash guard forms a barrier against splashing substances poured from the kettle when in its pouring position, the splash guard including a generally planar plate portion which covers the sink and forms a continuation of the planar work surface when the splash guard in said first position and exposes the sink when the splash guard is in said second position.
