Description

Instrument pour tenir un mets. Dann los fourehettes de tables, los dents sont trog proches los unes des autres par rap- port ä leer seetion pour quo eelles qui sont entre los deux dents du Bord soutiennent utilement une pomme de terre Jans laquelle olles sont pla-ntees. De plus, il s'ensuit qu'en enfonsant la. fourehette. an brise souvent los mets. Instrument for holding food. In the table forks, the tines are very close to each other with respect to the first view that they which are between the two edge tines usefully support a potato on which they are planted. Moreover, it follows that by pushing the. fork. an often breaks the dishes.

La. presente invention a. pour objet un Ins trument pour tenir un mets. Cet Instrument est earacterise en ce qu'il comporte un man che et au moins trois aiguilles. d'axes paral leles, mais non tous situes dann un meme plan, los distances mutuelles entre ees aigliilles etant assen grarides pour quo la partie ,du mets comprise entre olles offre une resis- tance appreciable aux effo.rts exerces nur le mets et quo ces efforts soient repa.rtis nur ces aiguilles, a.fin quo Von ne risque point de rompre 1e mets. The present invention a. for object an Instrument for holding a dish. This Instrument is characterized in that it comprises a handle and at least three needles. of parallel axes, but not all situated in the same plane, the mutual distances between these needles being assen grarid so that the part of the dish included between them offers an appreciable resistance to the efforts exerted on the dish and that these efforts are repa.rtis nur these needles, a.fin quo Von does not risk breaking the first mets.

Les aiguilles mentionnees sont de preè- rence fixees ä une piece qui est mobile dann le manche, de ma.niere qu'elles puis.sent ä vo- lonte etre enfermees dann 1e manche ou faire saillie hors de 1u1. The needles mentioned are preferably fixed to a part which is movable in the handle, so that they can at will be enclosed in the handle or project out of it.

Le dessin ei-annexe represente, ä titre d'exemple, deux formen d'execution de I'ob- jet de 1'invention et diverses variantes de Je tail. The appended drawing shows, by way of example, two embodiments of the object of the invention and various tail variants.

Les fig. 1 et 2 montrent la premiere forme en coupe longitudin.ale dann deux po- sitions differentes; los fig. 3 et 4 montrent la seconde forme en coupe axiale et en eleva- tion et la. fig. 5 en est une vue en bout; los fig. 6 ä 11 sont des vues schematiques, en bout de diverses variantes et la fig. 12 mon- tre en perspeciive un detail commun aux va.- riantes des fig. 8 ä 11. Figs. 1 and 2 show the first shape in longitudinal section in two different positions; the fig. 3 and 4 show the second form in axial section and in elevation and the. fig. 5 is an end view; the fig. 6 to 11 are schematic end views of various variants and FIG. 12 shows in perspective a detail common to the variants of figs. 8 to 11.

1 .designe un manche tubulaire soli-daire d'un collet 1:,. manche ä 1'interieur duquel est fixee une bague 3 par un renflement an- nulaire qui penetre :dann une rainure .de la- dite bague. Celle-ci pourrait aussi etre fixee de toute autre maniere appropriee. Elle guide dann son trau axial un tube 5 fixe ä une tote 4 dann laquelle sont plantees et fixees des aiguilles ede faible epaisseur 6. Ces 1. Designates a soli-dary tubular handle with a collar 1: ,. handle inside which is fixed a ring 3 by an annular bulge which penetrates into a groove of said ring. This could also be fixed in any other suitable way. It guides in its axial trau a tube 5 fixed to a head 4 in which are planted and fixed needles of small thickness 6. These

aiguilles ont leurs axes paralleles et non tous situes dann un meine plan et sont au nombre de sept .dass la figure. needles have their axes parallel and not all located in the same plane and are seven in number. in the figure.

Les @distances mutuelles entre ces aiguilles sont assez grandes pour que la partie .du mets comprise entre elles offre une resistance ap preciable aux efforts. The mutual @distances between these needles are large enough for the part of the food between them to offer significant resistance to the efforts.

Le tube 5 est entoure dun ressort 20 qui s'appuie, dune Part, sur la bague $ et, d'autre part, sur une rondelle 8 retenue par une cheville transversale 7. Ce tube passe librement -dans un anneau 9 portant 1e collet 1. et visse au tobe 1 par la vis 10. Le tube 5 presente une rainure longitu .dinale dans laquelle penetre une vis 11 vissee de l'exte rieur Jans 1'anneau 9. E.nfin, un bouton 12 termine 1e tube 5. Le collet 1. peut etre rem place par deux languettes opposees transver sales. The tube 5 is surrounded by a spring 20 which rests, on the one hand, on the ring $ and, on the other hand, on a washer 8 retained by a transverse pin 7. This tube passes freely -in a ring 9 carrying the first collar 1. and screwed to tube 1 by screw 10. Tube 5 has a longitudinal groove into which a screw 11, screwed from outside Jans 1'ring 9, penetrates. Finally, a button 12 terminates the first tube 5. The collar 1. can be replaced by two opposed transverse tongues.

Le fonctionnement -de 1'instrument est 1e suivant: Lorsqu'il est livre ä lui-meme, son res sort 20 maintient 1e tube 5 dann la position representee en fix. 1 posir laquelle les, ai guilles 6 se trouvent ,ä 1'interieur du man che 1. En appuyant 1'index et 1e medius con tre 1e collet la, et en exerQa-nt une Pression sur 1e bouton 12, an amene les choses dans la Position de la fix. 2 pour laquelle les ai guilles peuvent eire introduites 4ans une pomme de terre qu'il s'agit & peler. Tip, res sort est assez faible pour ne pas pouvoir ra mener les aiguilles :dans 1e manche ä 1'en contre du frottement de celles-ei dans la pomme de terre qui reste ainsi appuyee con tre 1e bout du manche. Gräce ä la 4isposition :des aiguilles qui, dans 1'exemple represente, sont au nombre,de sept et qui s:ont,d'inegales longueurs, 1e manche peut Atre tournd dans toutes les positions saus que la pomme de terre se fende, ce qui arrive frequemment lorsqu'elles sont tenues g, 1'aid.e :d'une four chette ordinaire. En effet, les Qiguilles 16, en acier; sont beaucaup plus fines que les dents -d'une fourchette et plus pointues, de sorte qu'elles risquent beaucoup moins .de fendre 1e tubercule, tout en offrant, par leur nom bre, une surface d'appui au moin.s aussi grande que celle des dents dune fourehette. Elles peuvent aussi etre .de meine longueur. The operation of the instrument is as follows: When it is delivered to itself, its spring 20 keeps the tube 5 in the fixed position shown. 1 position which the needles 6 are located inside the handle 1. By pressing the index finger and the middle finger against the collar there, and exerting pressure on the in the Position of the fix. 2 for which the needles can be introduced 4 years a potato that is to be peeled. Tip, the spring is weak enough not to be able to bring the needles back into the handle against their friction in the potato which thus remains pressed against the end of the handle. Thanks to the provision of needles which, in the example shown, are seven in number and which are of unequal length, the handle can be turned in all positions without the potato splitting, which frequently happens when they are held with the aid of an ordinary fork. Indeed, the Qiguilles 16, in steel; are much finer than the tines of a fork and more pointed, so that they are much less likely to split the tuber, while offering, by their number, a bearing surface at least as large than that of the tines of a fork. They can also be of the same length.

Les fix. 3 et 4 montrent une forme simpli- fiee de 1'instrument. La tete 14 qui porte les aiguilles est fixee au manche 13 par une vis ä longue tige 1-5 rivee sur la tete 15a. La tete 14 est traversee par une cheville 17 qui passe Jans des rainures longitudina:les 18 pra- tiquees dans 1e manchon 16 destine ä, recou- vrir les aiguilles quand 1'appareil n'est pas en- usage et qui peut etre fixe dans cette position soit par une vis non representee, soit qu'il se meuve,ä frottement gras sur 1e manche 13. Fixes. 3 and 4 show a simplified form of the instrument. The head 14 which carries the needles is attached to the handle 13 by a long shank screw 1-5 riveted to the head 15a. The head 14 is traversed by a pin 17 which passes through the longitudinal grooves 18 made in the sleeve 16 intended to cover the needles when the apparatus is not in use and which can be fixed in this position either by a screw not represented, or that it moves, with fatty friction on the first handle 13.

Les fix. 5 ä 11 montrent diverses vues en bout de 1'instrument, la fix. 5 presentant sept aiguilles est la vue par 1e haut de la fix. 4 et les autres vues presentent des variantes de disposition et d'agencement des aiguilles. Ces variantes portent soit sur la forme exterieure ,du manche qui peut eire rectang-ula.ire 4a,, car- r6e 4b ou de toute autre forme polygonale ou ovale, soit sur la forme des aiguilles elles- m:emes qui peuvent etre cylindriques sur la majeure partie de leur longtteur, soit kre fai- tes de metal Jamine en feuilles minces et coude en forme de cornieres 19. Les figures mentionnees montrent diverses dispositions des aiguilles en cornieres 'lorsqu'elles sont au nombre de trois ou quatre. Fixes. 5 to 11 show various end views of the instrument, the fix. 5 showing seven needles is the top view of the fixture. 4 and the other views show variants of layout and arrangement of the needles. These variants relate either to the external shape of the handle, which can be rectang-ula.ire 4a, square 4b or any other polygonal or oval shape, or to the shape of the needles themselves, which can be cylindrical over most of their length, either made of thin sheet Jamine metal and bent in the form of angle irons 19. The figures mentioned show various arrangements of the needles in angle irons when they are three or four in number.

Il est evident que 1'instrument decrit peut servir ä fixer d'autres mets que des pommes de terre bouillies, par exemple des fruits ä pe- pins, carottes rosiges, tranches & pain, etc. It is obvious that the instrument described can be used to fix foods other than boiled potatoes, for example pome fruits, pink carrots, slices of bread, etc.
