Claim 8:
9. An odor filtering lid assembly for filtering odors emanating from a cooking pot while cooking food, said assembly comprising:
a lid being positionable on a cooking pot, said having female threads being integrated into a perimeter of said lid, said lid having a top wall and a perimeter wall extending downwardly from said top wall, said top wall curving upwardly from said perimeter wall such that said top wall defines a dome, said top wall having a primary hole extending through said top wall, said primary hole being centrally positioned on said top wall, said top wall having a pair of secondary holes each extending through said top wall, each of said secondary holes being positioned on opposite sides of said primary hole from each other, said perimeter wall having an inwardly facing surface, said female threads being integrated into said inwardly facing surface;
a handle being removably attached to said lid for gripping said lid, said handle having a bottom end and a top end, said bottom end resting on a top surface of said top wall of said lid, said handle having a primary well extending toward said top end, said primary well having a bounding surface being threaded, said primary well being centrally positioned on said bottom end, said handle having a pair of secondary wells each extending toward said top end, each of said secondary wells having a bounding surface being threaded, each of said secondary wells being positioned on opposite sides of said primary well from each other, said primary well being aligned with said primary hole when said handle is positioned on said lid, each of said secondary wells being aligned with a respective one of said secondary holes when said handle is positioned on said lid;
a pair of screws, each of said screws extending through a respective one of said secondary holes in said top wall of said lid and threadably engaging said bounding surface of a respective one of said secondary wells in said bottom end of said handle for releasably attaching said handle to said lid;
a first disk having a plurality of first air holes each extending through said first disk wherein each of said first air holes is configured to pass air through said first disk, said first disk having male threads being integrated into said first disk, said male threads threadably engaging said female threads in said lid for removably attaching said first disk to said lid, said first disk having an upper surface, a lower surface and perimeter wall extending downwardly from said lower surface, said perimeter wall of said first disk having an outwardly facing surface and a distal edge with respect to said lower surface, each of said first air holes extending through said upper surface and said lower surface, said first air holes being spaced apart from each other and being arranged into a plurality of concentric rings each extending around a center of said first disk, said male threads being integrated into said outwardly facing surface of said perimeter wall of said first disk, said perimeter wall of said first disk having a first lip extending laterally away from said outwardly facing surface, said first lip being aligned with said distal edge of said perimeter wall of said first disk, said first disk having a hole extending through said upper surface and said lower surface, said hole in said first disk being aligned with said center of said first disk, said hole in said first disk being aligned with said primary hole in said lid when said first disk is attached to said lid;
an air filter being positioned against said first disk, said air filter being comprised of activated coconut carbon wherein said air filter is configured to filter odors from air passing through said air filter, said air filter having a top side, a bottom side and a peripheral edge extending between said top side and said bottom side, said peripheral edge being continuously arcuate about a center of said air filter such that said air filter has a disk shape, said top side abutting said lower surface of said first disk having said peripheral edge abutting said perimeter wall of said first disk, said air filter having a hole extending through said top side and said bottom side, said hole in said air filter being aligned with said center of said air filter, said hole in said air filter being aligned with said hole in said first disk when said air filter is positioned against said first disk;
a second disk having a plurality of second air holes each extending through said second disk wherein each of said second air holes is configured to pass air through said second disk, said second disk being positionable against said first disk such that said air filter is positioned between said first disk and said second disk, said second disk having a top surface, a bottom surface and perimeter wall extending downwardly from said bottom surface, said perimeter wall of said second disk having an outwardly facing surface and a distal edge with respect to said bottom surface, each of said second air holes extending through said top surface and said bottom surface, said second air holes being spaced apart from each other and being arranged into a plurality of concentric rings each extending around a center of said second disk, said perimeter wall of said second disk having a second lip extending laterally away from said outwardly facing surface of said perimeter wall of said second disk, said second lip being aligned with said distal edge of said perimeter wall of said second disk, said second disk having a hole extending through said top surface and said bottom surface, said hole in said second disk being aligned with said center of said second disk, said hole in said second disk being aligned with said hole in said air filter when said second disk is attached to said lid; and
an eyebolt having a shaft being threaded and a ring disposed on said shaft, said shaft extending through said hole in said second disk and said hole in said air filter and said hole in said first disk and said primary hole in said lid, said shaft threadably engaging said bounding surface of said primary well in said handle for retaining each of said first disk and said air filter and said second disk to said lid having said ring abutting said bottom surface of said second disk.
