Abstract
A process for the manufacture of cooking vessels, in particular pots and/or pans and the like suitable for magnetic induction heating, is remarkably simple and comprises the steps of: providing a metallic semimanufactured vessel (A) of the cooking vessel, comprising a hollow (21) and a bottom portion (20); providing a plate member (1), in a metallic material of relatively high hardness, provided with a plurality of points (6a, 6b) projecting from a surface thereof (4) and forming an angle (α) equal to or larger than 90° therewith; inducing, by compression or the plate member (1) at the bottom portion (20), the penetration of said points (6a, 6b) and the adhering of said surface (4) of said plate member (1) on said bottom portion (20).
Claims20
A process for the manufacture of cooking vessels, in particular pots and/or pans in a relatively soft metallic material, characterised in that it comprises the following steps:
- providing a metallic semimanufactured vessel (A) of the cooking vessel in a relatively soft metallic material, comprising a hollow (21) and a bottom portion (20);
- providing a substantially disc-shaped plate member (1), in a metallic material of a relatively high hardness, comprising an edge (3), a first surface (4) apt to be adhered to said bottom portion (20) and a second surface apt to be exposed to the outside and a plurality of holes (7), said plate member (1) being provided with a plurality of projecting members (6a, 6b) substantially subdivided in first points (6a), annularly placed at said edge (3), and second points (6b) formed at said holes (7);
- said second points (6b) projecting from said first surface (4) to form, from the apex thereof to the plane of the plate member (1), a substantially piramidal or conical duct and forming an angle (α) equal to or greater than 90° with the plane of the plate member (1);
- inducing, by compression of the plate member (1) at the bottom portion (20), the penetration of said first and second points (6a, 6b) and the adhering of said first surface (4) of said plate member (1) on said bottom portion (20), whereby the respective end of each point (6a, 6b) is crimped by bending in the thickness of the bottom portion (20).
