Tongs for holding a cooking container includes: a body being of a shape adequate to be held by a hand and extending by a predetermined length in a longitudinal direction thereof, the body having a fixed holding part being in contact with the high-cut outer peripheral wall of the cooking container at the end portion thereof and a receiving chamber formed in the interior thereof; a movable member having a movable holding part being in contact with the high-cut inner peripheral wall of the cooking container at the end portion thereof in order to hold the cooking container in relation to the fixed holding part of the body, the movable member received within the receiving chamber and having one end connected to a spring mechanism installed in the body, thus to be disposed within the body forwardly and backwardly relative to the fixed holding part; an operating lever supported rotatably on the body at the one end thereof, thus to be inserted and drawn into/from the interior and exterior of the receiving chamber; and a power transmission device having a rotary member and a guide member, the rotary member and the guide member converting a rotating force of the operating lever into a rectilinear motion of the movable member, in co-operation with each other, as the operating lever is inserted into the receiving chamber, for moving the movable member into the interior of the receiving chamber to be engaged with the high cut portion of the cooking container for holding the cooking container in co-operation with the fixed holding part and the movable member; whereby as the operating lever is drawn from the receiving chamber, the co-operating relationship of the rotary member and the guide member is released and by the recovering force of the spring mechanism, the movable member moves forwardly relative to the fixed holding part, thus to release the holding of the cooking container.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. Tongs for holding a cooking container, comprising:a body being of a shape adequate to be held by a hand and extending by a predetermined length in a longitudinal direction thereof, said body having a fixed holding part being in contact with the high-cut outer peripheral wall of the cooking container at the end portion thereof and a receiving chamber formed in the interior thereof;a movable member having a movable holding part being in contact with the high-cut inner peripheral wall of the cooking container at the end portion thereof in order to hold the cooking container in relation to said fixed holding part of said body, said movable member received within said receiving chamber and having one end connected to spring means installed in said body, thus to be disposed within said body forwardly and backwardly relative to said fixed holding part;an operating lever supported rotatably on said body at the one end thereof, thus to be inserted and drawn into/from the interior and exterior of said receiving chamber; anda power transmission device having a first rotary member and a second rotary member, said first rotary member and said second rotary member converting a rotating force of said operating lever into a rectilinear motion of said movable member, in co-operation with each other, as said operating lever is inserted into said receiving chamber, for moving said movable member into the interior of said receiving chamber to be engaged with the high cut portion of the cooking container, thereby holding the cooking container in co-operation with said fixed holding part and said movable member; whereby as said operating lever is drawn from said receiving chamber, the co-operating relationship of said first rotary member and said second rotary member is released and by the recovering force of said spring means, said movable member moves forwardly relative to said fixed holding part, thus to release the holding state of the cooking container.
