ABSTRACT:
Cooking apparatus, e.g. a deep fat fryer, comprising an open housing (1) adapted to be closed by a cover (2) pivotably removably mounted on an upper edge (3) of the housing by disassemblable hinges. A device (5) for automatically raising the cover permits the cover (2) to pass from a closed position to an open position. The hinges comprise two spaced bearings (6, 7) secured to the upper edge (3) of the housing and arranged on a common axis parallel to that edge, as well as two pivots (8, 9) secured to the cover (2) and mounted on the bearings (6, 7). One of the bearings (7) comprises a portion (10) axially retractable against the action of a compression spring (11) so as to permit the separation of the bearing (7) and the pivot (9) so as to unhinge the cover (2). The automatic raising device (5) of the cover comprises on the cover (2) an inside abutment (17) and on the housing (1) a finger (18) slidably mounted against the action of an elastic member (20) in a recess (19) of the housing (1) on an axis transverse to the axis of the bearings (6, 7), so as to occupy at least two positions, namely, a raised position to which it is brought by the elastic member (20) and in which it bears on the abutment (17) of the cover, maintaining the cover (2) in open position, and a lowered position to which it is brought by pressure from the abutment (17) acting against the elastic member (20) when the cover (2) is closed.
