PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a removable gripping device that is configured to limit a play between the gripping device and a vessel.SOLUTION: A removable gripping device comprises an internal support upper arm (3) and an external support lower arm (4), designed to work together so that, by gripping, the upper arm and the lower arm (3, 4) push against an internal face and an external face, respectively, of the lateral vessel wall; a tightening arm (5) which rotates around an axis (6) between an unlocked position and a locked position in which the tightening arm (5) pushes against the lateral wall and works with one of the two lower and upper arms (3, 4) to pin the lateral wall against at least one of the arms; and movement means (7, 70) designed to be manually shifted between an open position and closed position and to rotate the tightening arm (5) when moving from the open position to the closed position. In addition, provision is made of anti-return means (8), separate from the movement means, for blocking the rotation of the tightening arm (5) in the opposite direction from the tightening direction when said tightening arm (5) is in the locked position.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an appliance for cooking food under pressure comprising means for holding a control member in position.SOLUTION: An appliance for cooking food under pressure comprises: a vessel and a lid; a control member (15) which controls locking/unlocking of the lid, can move between at least one unlocking position and at least one locking position, and is in kinematic connection with a locking mechanism; and retractable holding media (20) which exerts holding force on the control member (15) when the control member is in the unlocking position. The holding means (20) exerts return force on the control member (15) when the control member (15) is in locking position, in order to maintain the locking position.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cooking tool for cooking food under pressure.SOLUTION: A cooking tool includes: a container; a lid (3); at least one fixing member (10) attached to between a fixing position and a fixation releasing position so as to move on the lid (3); and a controller (15) for controlling the movement of the fixing member (10), the controller including an operating member (16) suitable to be operated by a user so as to move the fixing member. In the tool, the fixing member (10) is attached to the lid (3) so as to be urged toward its fixing position by elastic returning means for positioning, and the operating member (16) is attached to the fixing member (10) in a driving connection manner so that user's action on the operation member (16) causes the fixing member (10) to move toward the fixation releasing position.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable precisely and reproducibly switching of a chamber from a leaking configuration to a closing configuration.SOLUTION: A purge valve 1 is used for a pressure cooker and the valve is designed to discharge out from a cooking chamber the air that is initially contained in a cooking chamber. The purge valve has firstly a valve body 5 forming a seat 6, and secondly a moving and obturating element 7 designed to move from an opening configuration in which the element 7 is separated from the seat and which authorizes leak of a gas flow F from the chamber 4 to a closing configuration in which the element sealingly contacts the seat 6 and ensures sealing of the chamber. An elastic return unit 8 is included and arranged to stress the element 7 toward the opening configuration against the pressure. The production concerns particularly valves for domestic electric appliances.
