Abstract

This spoon makes it possible to separate at will the lean components from fatty bodies according to the following steps: Firstly, two perforations are made on the said spoon, one in the concave hollow part, the other on the widest part of the handle. Secondly, a spring fastened in the perforation of the handle actuates, by its other end, a valve. A simple pressure of the thumb causes the valve to carry out a vertical movement upwards to close the orifice of the spoon and downwards to open it. The downwards movement of the valve permits discharge of the lean elements through the opened orifice, as the fat of the sauce remains in suspension. To interrupt the flow, it suffices to release the spring which again pulls the valve upwards, the latter then closing the circular opening of the spoon.

Description

La présente invention concerne une cuiller à servir les sauces composées de jus de viande ou d'éléments graisseux. A ce titre. elle veut être une contribution à un meilleur équilibre alimentaire. The present invention relates to a spoon for serving sauces composed of meat juice or fatty elements. As such. it wants to be a contribution to a better nutritional balance.

Odns le but de réaliser une cuiller qui soit appréciée par les gastronomes en particulier et par les diététiciens aussi. la présente invention a pour objet une cuiller à servir les sauces dont les caractéristiques permettent de dissocier à volonté les composants maigres des corps gras. compte tenu du fait que les corps maigres. en raison de leur densité spécifique viennent toujours se déposer au fonds de la cuiller. Odns the goal of making a spoon that is appreciated by gourmets in particular and by dieticians too. the subject of the present invention is a spoon for serving sauces, the characteristics of which make it possible to dissociate the lean components from the fatty substances at will. considering the fact that lean bodies. because of their specific density always come to settle at the bottom of the spoon.

Ces caractéristiques sont représentées : D'une part par le fait que la dite cuiller comporte en elle même deux perforations
1. Une première perforation circulaire située à l endroit le
plus creux de sa partie concave.These characteristics are represented: On the one hand by the fact that the said spoon comprises in itself two perforations
1. A first circular perforation located at the
most hollow of its concave part.

2. Une seconde perforation en forme de rectangle située au
centre de la partie la plus évasée du manche.2. A second rectangle-shaped perforation located at the
center of the widest part of the handle.

D'autre part par l'addition des deux éléments suivants
1. Un ressort dont une extrémité est destinée à prendre appui
dans la perforation en forme de rectangle située au centre de
la partie la plus évasée du manche et dont 1autre extrémité
la forme d-une fourche.On the other hand by the addition of the following two elements
1. A spring, one end of which is intended to bear
in the rectangle-shaped hole in the center of
the most flared part of the handle and of which the other end
the shape of a fork.

2. D'une soupape qui comporte une queue de soupape à son
extrémité supérieure et une cuvette destinée à venir
s introduire dans les bras de la fourche d'un ressort.2. A valve that has a valve stem at its
upper end and a bowl intended to come
s insert into the fork arms of a spring.

L extrémité inférieure de la tige de soupape s'évase
vers le bas en une tête de soupape et se termine par le
siège de soupape. The lower end of the valve stem flares
down into a valve head and ends with the
valve seat.

Ce siège de soupape viendra obstruer hermétiquement l'orifice
perforé à l'endroit le plus creux de la partie concave de la
cuiller.This valve seat will hermetically seal the orifice
perforated at the most hollow point of the concave part of the
spoon.

L'originalité de la présente invention présente enfin une caractéristique ultérieure tenant dans la combinàison des trois éléments. The originality of the present invention finally presents a further characteristic which lies in the combination of the three elements.

Le ressort une fois mis en place. c'est à dire. introduit dans le manche de la cuiller. tire verticalement vers le haut. la cuvette de soupape dont le siège vient obstruer de manière rigoureusement hermétique la perforation de la partie la plus creuse de la cuiller. The spring once in place. that is to say. introduced into the handle of the spoon. pulls vertically upwards. the valve bowl, the seat of which closes the perforation of the hollowest part of the spoon in a hermetically sealed manner.

La simple pression exercée par le pouce de la main. permet à la soupape fixée par sa cuvette au ressort. d'accomplir un mouvement vertical vers le bas. de sorte que le siège de la soupape libère l orifice précedemment obstrué. The simple pressure exerted by the thumb of the hand. allows the valve fixed by its bowl to the spring. to perform a vertical downward movement. so that the valve seat releases the previously obstructed port.

Grâce à cette caractéristique. les éléments maigres peuvent s'écouler par l'ouverture circulaire du fonds de la cuiller. tandis que le gras de la sauce reste en suspension. Thanks to this feature. lean elements can flow through the circular opening of the bottom of the spoon. while the fat of the sauce remains in suspension.

Il suffit de relacher la pression du pouce pour que le ressort tire à nouveau vers le haut. la soupape dont le siège vient former l'ouverture précedemment dégagée. Ce simple mouvement suffit à interrompre l'écoulement du liquide dont il ne reste plus que les éléments gras. It is enough to release the pressure of the thumb so that the spring pulls up again. the valve, the seat of which forms the opening previously released. This simple movement is enough to interrupt the flow of the liquid, of which only the fatty elements remain.

Claims

the other in the hollowest part likely to contain a liquid.

one rectangular located at the end of the handle to fix a spring

1. Spoon to serve sauces characterized in that it has two perforati

2. Spoon according to claim N "1 characterized in that it comprises a

second element (fig.-3,4) the spring fixed to the handle of the spoon (fig. 1,2)

and which is intended to allow vertical upward and downward movement

below a third element. the valve (fig. 5>.

3. Spoon according to claim N "1 and 2 characterized in that it comprises

a third element (fig. 5), the valve attached to the second element (fig. 3,4)

the spring at the valve bowl.

4. Spoon according to claims 1 to 3 characterized in that it comprises

an element (fig. 5) the valve, the lower part of which, known as the seat of the

valve obstructs the perforation of the most concave part

likely to collect the sauce liquid.

5. Spoon according to all of claims 1 to 4 characterized in that the

combination of the second element (fig. 3,4), the spring, and the third
