Abstract

Easy to assemble and disassemble scoop for food of all kinds

Description

Introduction:

The invention relates to a kitchen appliance, which is used both in the private sector as well as in the catering and food stalls.

The main area of application is the re-sorting of food (eg gyros / doner meat), which i. d. R. is caught by a rotisserie, then safely pour this, for example, in a flatbread.

State of the art:

There are a variety of corresponding blades on the market that fulfill this function. As a rule, these are made of stainless steel. For reasons of cost, these blades are usually made from a "transformation" (in the so-called nibbling process by hand) of stainless steel bowls into correspondingly designed appliances to fulfill the intended use.

Defects:

By the production resp. the reworking of the original material creates unsightly edges as well as dents with uneven curve shapes and sometimes even a residual burr on the material.

These sharp edges can even lead to cuts when working and cleaning the device.

The available on the market blades are bulky and therefore difficult to clean and store only with a lot of space.

A different size / diameter of the blades can only by means of mold change (high cost) z. B. be prepared by deep drawing.

If you slip with the knife on the clippings, you hit partially on the edge (s) of the blade so that the sharpness of the knife suffers.

With many blades, the handle is straight. This results in long-term cutting action to pain because the wrist is not ergonomically guided.

Problem:

The problem is customer dissatisfaction. Both with "operation" of the device as well as with the corresponding storage of the blade.

Solution:

The invention of a blade, which does not have the disadvantages mentioned above. This was achieved by the fact that the blade consists of a few sub-elements, which are based on the 1 to 3 be explained in more detail.

1 the flat bottom plate

2 the flat edge plate (before assembly)

3 the raised by means of einzusteckenden bottom plate edge plate with handle and locking screw

The shape of a bowl is achieved in that the edge plate is formed in the form of a settlement ( 2 ).

Assembly of the shovel:

The floor panel 1 has two retaining lugs 2 , which in the edge plate 3 on both floor plate holes 4 be inserted. The edge plate 3 is stretched by it, pulled up and the nose of the bottom plate 5 snaps into the hole 6 of the edge sheet 3 one. Then, in addition to improving the stability, a carriage bolt 7 introduced from the inside, on the one hand a slipping up of the bottom plate 1 to prevent and continue to attach the handle 8th alternatively at the right, middle or left handle recess 9 of the edge sheet 3 to enable. Now the shovel is ready for use.

Disassembly of the device:

This is done in reverse order.

Advantages:

• - Noble, error-free design, since the individual sheets can be produced with high precision using water jet / laser / etching technology in any size
• - There are no sharp edges at all, which could lead to injuries
• - The shovel is very easy to assemble and disassemble
• - The cleaning z. B. by means of a dishwasher or by hand is very simple and efficient
• - The ergonomic handle allows fatigue-free working
• - The space required in the disassembled state is minimal, so the bucket is also very good to take with you (small pack size)
• - The manufacturing costs are very low thanks to automatable manufacturing processes
• - Cut-outs machined on the edge plate 10 prevent the cutting blade from slipping into the blade and thus the blade remains sharp
• - During production, a logo can be lasered in one go

Claims (10)

Easy to assemble and disassemble scoop for food of all kinds Production of different use sizes (edge height / diameter alone by program change) possible Extremely space-saving, flat storage thanks to the very small volume / pack size High-quality manufacturing processes enable a reproducible, elegant design Sharp edges are avoided Its self-locking design allows for robust handling Fatigue-free work thanks to bevelled handle attachment 2 edge notches to avoid contact between blade and blade Very easy to clean because it can be dismantled. Also suitable for small dishwashers Handle attachment for right and left-handers freely selectable
