Abstract
A slow cooker appliance includes a lid, cooking vessel, housing and at least one but preferably two latching arrangements for securing the lid. Each latching arrangement includes a lid mount mounted on opposing sides of the periphery of the lid, a U-shaped member pivotally attached to the lid mount, and a rotating member rotatably connected to a housing mount disposed on a sidewall of the slow cooker housing, A U-shaped member is looped around the rotating member and a cammed surface on the rotating member urges against the end of the U-shaped member as the rotating member is rotated clockwise or counter-clockwise from an unlatched position to one of two possible latched positions. This creates a force in the U-shaped member that is transmitted to the lid mount. The lid mount urges the lid against a rim of the cooking vessel thereby securing the lid and the container to the housing.
