Definitions
- the present invention relates to a manual utensil, in particular an article of crockery such as a component of a table top, said utensil comprising two constituent elements, on the one hand, a functional end piece and, on the other hand, a removable handle, said constituent elements being equipped with complementary interlocking members arranged to detachably couple them, one of said constituent elements being provided with a tip, the other of said constituent elements being provided with an arranged sleeve to receive said tip, said functional end piece having a first transverse ramp and said handle having a second transverse ramp of complementary shape to that of the first transverse ramp to allow a juxtaposition of said two transverse ramps, the shape of these transverse ramps being defined to cause relative axial displacement of the two constituent elements when one is rotated about its axis relative to the other.
- the binding force of the two constituent elements is obtained essentially by the magnetic attraction of two magnets which are respectively embedded in each of these two elements.
- the resulting coupling provides a holding force in the relative position of the two components, namely the functional part and the handle, which is in principle sufficient for use current. Nevertheless, under certain circumstances, the stress may be greater than the mechanical strength obtained by the magnetic coupling and the two constituent elements may disassemble, or at least partially deviate from each other.
- the present invention aims to overcome the drawback mentioned above and which is inherent in the prior art, by replacing or supplementing the magnetic coupling means by mechanical coupling.
- the manual utensil of the invention as defined in the preamble is characterized in that said complementary interlocking members further comprise a locking device arranged to link one of the constituent elements to the other element, when these two constituent elements are coupled by means of said complementary interlocking members.
- said locking device comprises at least one substantially radial peripheral protuberance formed on one of said complementary interlocking members and at least one axial groove formed on the other of said complementary interlocking members, said throat being arranged to receive and lock in position said substantially radial peripheral protuberance when the two constituent elements are coupled by means of said complementary interlocking members.
- said locking device may comprise two substantially radial peripheral protuberances formed on one said complementary interlocking members and two axial grooves formed on the other of said complementary interlocking members, said grooves being arranged to receive and lock in position said substantially radial peripheral protuberances when the two constituent elements are coupled by means of said organs complementary nesting.
- Said substantially radial peripheral protuberances each preferably comprise an approximately cylindrical pin.
- said cylindrical pins preferably have a different diameter.
- Said grooves are advantageously formed in a sleeve disposed longitudinally, parallel to the axis of said corresponding interlocking member, and are dimensioned to receive said pins.
- said longitudinal sleeve consists of a first sector, said guide sector, and a second sector, said locking sector, said guide sector comprising said grooves which have a profile similar to that of said pins and said locking sector having, on a first section, flexible and resilient sidewalls which define a throat section slightly smaller than that of said pins and a second section, side walls which define a substantially circular housing whose diameter is substantially equal to the section of the pins of the tip.
- Said tip of one of said constituent elements preferably has at least one section of cylindrical shape of circular section and is disposed substantially in the extension of the axis of the corresponding constituent element and said sleeve of the other of said constituent elements comprises at least one hollow section of circular section whose diameter is slightly greater than outer diameter of the section of corresponding circular section of the tip of the first of said constituent elements.
- the axial grooves are formed in the wall of the hollow section of the socket and the cylindrical pins are arranged on the section of circular section of the nozzle.
- said constituent elements equipped with complementary interlocking members arranged to detachably couple them furthermore comprise respectively a first magnet and a second magnet, said second magnet being arranged to enter a zone of magnetic attraction. said first magnet when said tip of one of said constituent elements is engaged in said socket of the other of said constituent elements.
- said first and second magnets on the one hand and the locking device of one of the constituent elements relative to the other on the other hand are arranged so that the coupling of the two constituent elements by magnetic attraction and their mechanical coupling performed by said locking device are performed substantially simultaneously.
- said first transverse ramp of the functional end piece and said second transverse ramp complementary shape of said handle comprise at least one curved sector whose radius of curvature is between five millimeters and infinity.
- This radius of curvature of the curved sector of the transverse ramps can be defined in such a way that a relative rotation of one of the two constituent elements around its axis causes a relative axial displacement of these elements.
- FIG. 1A represents an assembled view of the manual utensil according to FIG.
- FIG. 1B shows an assembled view in axial section of the spoon of FIG. 1A
- FIG. 1C represents a disassembled view of the spoon of FIG. 1
- FIG. a perspective view of one of the interlocking members of the two constituent elements of the spoon of FIG. 1, as well as a part of the locking device of the two elements
- FIG. 3A is a perspective view of the other organ interlocking of the two constituent elements of the spoon of FIG. 1, as well as another part of the locking device of the two elements
- FIG. 3B is a front view of said member represented by Figure 3A
- the utensil according to the invention is in the form of a component of a table cover and more particularly that of a spoon 10 which comprises a functional end piece 1 1 and a removable handle 12 which constitute the constituent elements of the spoon 10, these constituent elements being equipped with complementary interlocking members arranged to couple removably.
- the interest of making cutlery in two removable elements is to allow to modify the aspect, the style, the decoration in order to adapt a decoration of table according to the circumstances of a meal.
- coupling means of the two elements these means must be both discrete and effective, that is to say, almost invisible to users and resistance to any test to avoid any accidental separation of the two elements.
- FIG. 1 B shows the spoon 10 assembled and illustrates the coupling means of the two components of this spoon. These means will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.
- the functional end piece 1 1 is, in this case, equipped with a tip 13 which is either made with this piece, or machined or molded separately and joined together. with this piece by techniques known per se.
- the handle 12 is, in this case, equipped with a sleeve 14 arranged to receive and accommodate said tip 13.
- said sleeve 14 comprises at least one hollow section 14a of circular section whose diameter is slightly greater than the outside diameter of a corresponding section of circular section 13a of the nozzle 13.
- the sleeve 14 can be machined or molded separately and placed in a suitable bore in the sleeve 12 or could be replaced by a bore having a profile corresponding substantially to that of the mouthpiece 13.
- the sleeve 14 is equipped with a magnet 34, in the form of a cylindrical piece encased inside said socket and the endpiece 13 is equipped with a magnet 33, also in the form of a cylindrical piece, fixed in its end cooperating with the sleeve 14.
- magnet 34 in the form of a cylindrical piece encased inside said socket
- magnet 33 also in the form of a cylindrical piece, fixed in its end cooperating with the sleeve 14.
- FIG. 1C shows the disassembled spoon 10 and more particularly represents the functional end piece 1 1 provided with the endpiece 13 for the coupling of this piece with the handle 12. Note that the tip
- FIG. 13 forming one of the interlocking members and illustrated in greater detail in FIG. 2, has a cylindrical shape of circular section and comprises on its section 13a at least one protuberance in the form of a substantially cylindrical pin 15 arranged perpendicularly to the axis of the spoon 10.
- a second pin 16 may be provided and disposed in this case diametrically opposite the pin 15.
- the pin 15 or the pins 15 and 16 are arranged to slide in corresponding grooves of the sleeve
- the functional end piece 1 1 and the handle 12 respectively comprise a ramp 1 1a and a ramp 12a which have complementary shapes so as to juxtapose when the two elements are assembled.
- These ramps advantageously comprise at least one curved sector whose radius of curvature may vary between a few millimeters, for example five millimeters, and infinity. In the latter case, the ramps are flat and the relative rotation of one element relative to the other does not induce any relative axial displacement. On the other hand, if the radius of curvature is small, a relative rotation causes a greater relative axial displacement of the two elements.
- FIGS. 3A and 3B show in more detail the locking device for linking one of the constituent elements, namely the functional end piece 1 1 and the handle 12, when these two constituent elements are coupled by means of said members complementary nesting.
- the locking device consists of a peripheral protuberance arranged radially and arranged on one of said complementary interlocking members, and a recess provided on the other of said complementary interlocking members, this recess being arranged to receive said protuberance.
- the peripheral protuberance is in the form of a cylindrical rod segment or that of the pin 15 erected perpendicular to the periphery of the nozzle 13.
- the second pin 16, diametrically opposite or not, is provided to complete the guidance of the nozzle 13 in the socket 14.
- the sleeve 14 consists of a first sector, said guide sector 20, and a second sector, said locking sector 21, said guide sector 20 comprising at least one axial groove 22, formed in the hollow section 14a, which has a profile similar to that of said pin 15, and said locking sector 21 having, on a first section 23, flexible and resilient lateral walls 23a and 23b which define a throat 24 of section slightly smaller than that of said pin 15 and a second section 25, side walls which define a substantially circular housing 26 whose diameter is substantially equal to the section 15.
- the hollow section 14a of the guide sector 20 may comprise a second internal groove 22a, possibly diametrically opposite the groove 22 having a profile similar to that of said pin 16 to guide said pin 16. In this case, the other components of the guide and the locking corresponding to the pin 16 must also be present.
