Kettle bracket
Abstract
A kettle bracket includes a back plate having a lower end
forward bent to form a support for supporting the kettle such that
the back plate has an L-shaped structure. The back plate has two
ribs formed on two opposite sides of a vertical portion of the
L-shaped structure. Two curved straps are respectively secured to
the back plate to form a receiving space for contained the kettle.
The receiving space is tapered relative to the support for user to
conveniently insert the kettle into the receiving space and
clamping a lower portion of the kettle. The two curved straps are
intersected relative to each other.

Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The present invention relates to a kettle bracket, and more
particularly to a kettle bracket that has a strengthened
structure.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Art
[0004] A conventional kettle bracket in accordance with the prior
art shown in FIG. 6 comprises a holder (40) having a plane portion
(41) formed on a back of the holder (40). Two through holes (41)
are respectively defined in two opposite ends of the plane portion
(41). An ear (43) has two opposite ends respectively integrally
connected to two opposite sides of the plane portion (41) of the
holder (40) such that a containing space (44) is formed within the
ear (43) and the plane portion (41) for receiving the kettle (not
shown). A plate (50) is attached to the plane portion (41) and has
a lower end forward bent to form a support (52) for supporting the
kettle. The plate (50) has two through holes (51) defined therein
and respectively communicating with a corresponding one of the two
through holes (42) in the plane portion (41) when the plate (50) is
attached to the plane portion (41). The plate (50) has two opposite
sides forward bent to from two ribs (53) corresponding to the plane
portion (41) for strengthening the structure of the plate (50).
[0005] However, the holder (40) of the conventional kettle bracket
is manufactured by punching machine and made of composite material.
As well known, the composite material has grains in a certain
direction. The process of punching may destroy the gains of the
composite material such that the intensity of the composite
material is reduced. In addition, the waste material from the
punching machine will raises the manufacturing cost of the
conventional kettle bracket.
[0006] The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate
the disadvantages of the conventional kettle bracket.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The main objective of the present invention is to provide an
improved kettle bracket that has a strengthened structure.
[0008] To achieve the objective, the kettle bracket in accordance
with the present invention comprise a back plate having a lower end
forward bent to form a support for supporting the kettle such that
the back plate has an L-shaped structure. The back plate has two
ribs formed on two opposite sides of a vertical portion of the
L-shaped structure. Two curved straps are respectively secured to
the back plate to form a receiving space for contained the kettle.
The receiving space is tapered relative to the support for user to
conveniently insert the kettle into the receiving space and
clamping a lower portion of the kettle. The two curved straps are
intersected relative to each other.
[0009] Further benefits and advantages of the present invention
will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed
description with appropriate reference to the accompanying
drawings.

and
[0015] FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a conventional kettle
bracket in accordance with the prior art.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0016] Referring to the drawings and initially to FIGS. 1-3, a
kettle bracket in accordance with the present invention comprises a
back plate (20) having two through holes (21) defined therein. The
back plate (20) has a lower end forward bent to form a support (22)
for supporting the kettle such that the back plate (20) has an
L-shaped structure. The back plate (20) has two ribs (23) formed on
two opposite sides of a vertical portion of the L-shaped
structure.
[0017] Two curved straps (10) are made of composite material and
respectively secured to the back plate (20) to form a receiving
space (11) for contained the kettle. Further with reference to FIG.
4, the receiving space (11) is tapered relative to the support (22)
for user to conveniently insert the kettle into the receiving space
(11) and clamping a lower portion of the kettle. The two curved
straps (10) are intersected relative to each other. With reference
to FIG. 5, the cross-section of the receiving space (12) is like a
beetle.
[0018] The straps (10) of the present invention are integrally
formed such that the punching process of the convention kettle
bracket is unnecessary to the present invention. As a result, the
gains of the composite material of the straps (10) will not be
destroyed and there in no waste material is produced when
manufacturing the straps (10) of the present invention.
Consequently, the intensity of the straps (10) of the present
invention is strong and the manufacturing cost of the straps (10)
of the present invention is reduced.
[0019] Although the invention has been explained in relation to its
preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that many other
possible modifications and variations can be made without departing
from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter
claimed.
