ABSTRACT:
A locking-unlocking device for a cooking vessel having a vertical center axis and composed of a container and a cover, for securing the cover to the container, the container having a side wall with an upper peripheral edge defining an open top, the device including a plurality of locking jaw assemblies mounted on the vessel at locations spaced apart about the center axis of the vessel, each locking jaw assembly including locking jaws which are movable into a locking position for securing the cover to the container; and an unlocking element linked to the locking jaws for moving the locking jaws to an unlocking position in which the cover is separable from the container. Each locking jaw assembly further includes a biasing member operatively associated with the locking jaws for elastically urging the locking jaws in radial directions relative to the vessel center axis in a direction from the unlocking position to the locking position; a blocking member movable between an extended position for maintaining the locking jaws in the unlocking position and a retracted position for allowing the locking jaws to be positioned in response to the member; and a release member coupled to the blocking member and operative for causing the blocking member to move to the retracted position.
