Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Ausführungen von Griffen und Haltern für Küchen- und Tischbestecke und kann bei der Herstellung von Messern, Gabeln und ähnlichen Gegenständen verwendet werden.The present invention relates to designs of handles and holders for kitchen and cutlery and can be used in the manufacture of knives, forks and the like.

Aus dem russischen Geschmacksmuster RU 18207 sind Küchen- und Tischbestecke bekannt, die aus einem funktionalen Arbeitselement (einem Messer, einer Gabel, einer Schaufel verschiedener Konfigurationen und Zwecksbestimmungen) bestehen, das in einem Plastikgriffhalter befestigt ist. Dies stellt eine typische Befestigungsart von Küchen- und Tischelementen in einem Halter dar. Die Haltbarkeit einer solchen Befestigung hängt gewöhnlich von der Länge des Schaftes des Arbeitselementes sowie von der Haltbarkeit des Haltermaterials ab. Am häufigsten fällt der Halter an seiner Stosstelle mit dem Arbeitselement aus, da die Plastikteile zu hohe Belastungen, die senkrecht auf die Achse des Bestecks angelegt werden, nicht aushalten können.From the Russian design RU 18207 kitchen and cutlery are known, which consist of a functional working element (a knife, a fork, a shovel of various configurations and purpose), which is mounted in a plastic handle holder. This represents a typical method of attachment of kitchen and table elements in a holder. The durability of such an attachment usually depends on the length of the shank of the working element as well as the durability of the holder material. Most often, the holder fails at its location with the working element, since the plastic parts can not withstand high loads applied perpendicular to the axis of the cutlery.

Die RU 2 091 209 beschreibt ein Haushalts- und Touristenmesser "Sibirischer Bär" mit einem funktionalen Arbeitselement, das in einem aus einem hochfesten, mit einem Glasfaserstoff armierten Harz hergestellten Halter fest montiert ist. Dieses Messer hat einige Vorteile gegenüber den vorhergehenden Küchen- und Tischbestecken, es ist funktionssicherer und zuverlässiger. Ausserdem ist das Arbeitselement und der Griff dieses Messers hinsichtlich des gesamten Gewichtsschwerpunktes ausbalanciert und das Messer weist Wölbungen auf dem Griff auf, die der Form einer geballten menschlichen Hand entsprechen, was seine Gebrauchseigenschaften verbessert. Die Anfertigung einer solchen Vorrichtung ist jedoch relativ kompliziert, sie bedarf einer Feinpressentechnologie für den Griff, der auch sonst ein kostspieliger, aus armiertem Harz hergestellter Gegenstand ist.The RU 2 091 209 describes a household and tourist knife "Siberian bear" with a functional working element, which is firmly mounted in a holder made of a high-strength, reinforced with a glass fiber reinforced resin holder. This knife has several advantages over the previous kitchen and cutlery, it is more reliable and reliable. In addition, the working element and the handle of this knife is balanced with respect to the entire center of gravity and the knife has buckles on the handle, which correspond to the shape of a clenched human hand, which improves its performance properties. The preparation of such a device is relatively complicated, it requires a fine press technology for the handle, which is also otherwise a costly, made of armored resin article.

Die FR 2 768 642 beschreibt ein Küchenmesser, das in einem Halter fest montiert ist. Der Halter ist aus zwei Elementen hergestellt, nämlich aus einem dehnbaren Überzug und einem Plastikgriff, der als Einlage für den dehnbaren Überzug ausgeführt ist, das im oberen Vorderteil des Plastikgriffes befestigt ist. In der genannten Ausführung sowie in den vorherigen technischen Ausführungen wurde der Schaft des Arbeitselementes im Halter durch Einpressen befestigt, wodurch die Befestigungssicherheit geringer wird und es ist nicht ausgeschlossen, dass der Halter brechen bzw. der Schaft aus dem Halter herausgleiten kann. Die oberen und unteren Halterkonturen kopieren die natürlichen Konturen einer menschlichen Hand. Es fehlt jedoch die Balancierung des Arbeitselementes bezüglich des Halters, wodurch seine Gebrauchseigenschaften bedeutend beeinträchtigt werden. Der hohle Überzug ist nicht fest genug mit dem Halter verbunden und kann sich nach einer längeren Benutzung vom Halter lösen.FR 2 768 642 describes a kitchen knife fixedly mounted in a holder. The holder is made of two elements, namely a stretchable cover and a plastic handle, which is designed as an insert for the stretchable cover, which is fixed in the upper front part of the plastic handle. In the aforementioned embodiment and in the previous technical versions, the shank of the working element was fixed in the holder by pressing, whereby the fastening security is reduced and it is not excluded that the holder can break or the shaft can slide out of the holder. The upper and lower holder contours copy the natural contours of a human hand. However, it lacks the balance of the working element with respect to the holder, whereby its performance characteristics are significantly impaired. The hollow coating is not firmly enough connected to the holder and may become detached from the holder after prolonged use.

Als nächstgelegene Stand der Technik zu der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die FR 523 713 anzusehen, die ein Küchen- und Tischbesteck mit einer Haltereinlage offenbart, das aus einem funktionalen Arbeitselement und einem mit der Einlage versehenen Halter besteht, wobei das Arbeitselement sowie der Halter aus Ganzmetall hergestellt ist. Der Griff dieser Vorrichtung ist aus Ganzmetall zusammen mit einem funktionalen Arbeitselement in Form einer Messerschneide hergestellt und ist mit Befestigungselementen für die Einlage versehen. Die Einlage ist aus Ganzmetall hergestellt. Sie ist innen hohl und mit einigen Befestigungselementen für die Fixierung am Halter versehen. Diese Ausführung hat eine Reihe von Nachteilen. Hier ist nämlich keine Balancierung des funktionalen Arbeitselements hinsichtlich des Halters vorgesehen. Außerdem verfügt das Metall im Gegensatz zu Plastik bzw. zu einem Elastomer keinen hohen Reibungswert und rutscht dadurch in der Hand. Der Halter ist mit keinen Elementen versehen, die seine Positionierung und Haltung in der Hand erleichtern würden, wobei die Befestigung der Einlage im Halter unsicher ist und kann leicht herausfallen. Ferner ist die Herstellung sowie die Montage eines solchen Messers ein arbeitsaufwendiger und relativ komplizierter Prozess.The closest prior art to the present invention is FR 523 713, which discloses a kitchen and cutlery with a holder insert consisting of a functional working element and a holder provided with the insert, wherein the working element and the holder made of all-metal is. The handle of this device is made of all-metal together with a functional working element in the form of a knife edge and is provided with fasteners for the insert. The insert is made of all-metal. It is hollow inside and provided with some fasteners for fixing on the holder. This design has a number of disadvantages. Namely, there is no balance of the functional working element with respect to the holder. In addition, unlike plastic or an elastomer, the metal does not have a high coefficient of friction and thus slips in the hand. The holder is provided with no elements that would facilitate its positioning and posture in the hand, wherein the attachment of the insert in the holder is uncertain and can easily fall out. Furthermore, the manufacture and assembly of such a knife is a laborious and relatively complicated process.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht in der Erhöhung der Haltbarkeit des Halters sowie in der Verbesserung seiner Betriebscharakteristiken, wie z.B. der. Balancierung, Bequemlichkeit der Positionierung und des Haltens in der Hand während der Arbeit, Vereinfachung seiner Konstruktion, Senkung der Herstellungskosten für das Küchen- und Tischbesteck generell sowie für den Halter insbesondere.The object of the present invention is to increase the durability of the holder and in the improvement of its operating characteristics, such as. Balancing, convenience of positioning and holding in hand while working, Simplification of its construction, reducing the cost of kitchen and cutlery in general and for the holder in particular.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Küchen- und Tischbesteck mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Das Küchen- und Tischbesteck besteht vorzugsweise aus einem funktionalen Arbeitselement und einem mit einer Einlage versehenen Halter, wobei das Arbeitselement sowie der Halter aus Ganzmetall hergestellt sind. Dieses Besteck weist einen Halter auf, der als ein Korb mit einer flachen leicht konvexen oberen Fläche ausgeführt ist. Die Vorderseite des Korbes, die an das funktionale Arbeitselement der Vorrichtung grenzt, ist massiv und verstärkt ausgebildet. Die hintere Stirnfläche des Korbes ist offen und liegt schräg im Winkel in Richtung zur oberen Fläche des Korbes, dessen Seiten symmetrisch konvex sind und Bogenstirnflächen seitlich des offenen Korbteils aufweisen. Die Einlage ist in einem Stück mit der vorderen an die verstärkte Korbwand grenzenden geraden Stirnfläche und dem freien Schaft ausgeführt und im Korbraum montiert. Sie ist aus einem Material hergestellt, das einen hohen Reibungswert aufweist. Die untere Oberfläche der Einlage ist mit Handstützen in den Endzonen und mit einer symmetrischen Wölbung in der Mitte versehen, wobei das Verhältnis der Länge Lf der einstückigen verstärkten Vorderwand des Korbs zu der Länge L des gesamten Korbes wie folgt verhält Lf:L= 0,15-0,85. Der Einlagenschaft ragt über die offene Korbstirnfläche hervor und ist äquidistant schräg zum Korb angeordnet.This object is achieved by a kitchen and cutlery with the features of claim 1. The kitchen and cutlery preferably consists of a functional working element and a holder provided with an insert, wherein the working element and the holder are made of all-metal. This cutlery has a holder, which is designed as a basket with a flat slightly convex upper surface. The front of the basket, which adjoins the functional working element of the device, is solid and reinforced. The rear end face of the basket is open and inclined at an angle toward the upper surface of the basket, the sides of which are symmetrically convex and have arc faces laterally of the open basket portion. The insert is made in one piece with the front adjacent to the reinforced basket wall straight face and the free shaft and mounted in the basket space. It is made of a material that has a high coefficient of friction. The bottom surface of the insert is provided with hand supports in the end zones and with a symmetrical bulge in the middle, the ratio of the length L f of the integral reinforced front wall of the basket to the length L of the entire basket being as follows L f : L = 0 , from 15 to 0.85. The deposit shaft protrudes beyond the open Korbstirnfläche and is arranged equidistant obliquely to the basket.

Das Küchen- und Tischbesteck ist als eine Ganzmetallkonstruktion ausgebildet, die aus einem funktionalen Arbeitselement 1 (das kann ein Messer, eine Gabel, ein Löffel usw. sein) und einem Halter 2 besteht. Der Halter ist in Form eines Korbes 3 ausgeführt, der eine flache leicht konvexe obere Vollfläche und eine an das Arbeitselement 1 angrenzende und massive verstärkte Vorderwand 4 aufweist. Eine dem Arbeitselement 1 abgewandte Stirnfläche 5 des Korbs 3 ist offen und liegt schräg im Winkel zur oberen leicht konvexen Fläche des Korbs 3.The kitchen and cutlery is designed as an all-metal construction consisting of a functional working element 1 (which may be a knife, a fork, a spoon, etc.) and a holder 2. The holder is designed in the form of a basket 3, which has a flat slightly convex upper solid surface and a solid and reinforced front wall 4 adjacent to the working element 1. A working surface 1 facing away from the end face 5 of the basket 3 is open and is inclined at an angle to the upper slightly convex surface of the basket. 3

Die Seitenwände des Korbs 3 weisen seitlich des offenen unteren Teils des Korb 3 Bogenstirnflächen 6 auf. Der Halter 2 ist mit einer einstückigen Volleinlage 7 versehen, die aus einem Material mit einem hohen Reibungswert, z.B. Plastik, hergestellt ist und im Innenraum des Korbes 3 angebracht ist. Die untere Fläche 8 der Einlage 7 ist mit Handabstützungen 9 und 10 in den Endzonen und mit einer symmetrischen Wölbung in der Mitte versehen. Ein Schaft 11 der Einlage 7 ragt über die offene hintere, dem Arbeitselement abgewandte Stirnfläche 5 des Korbes 3 hervor. Die Außenkontur des Schaftes 11 ist äquidistant schräg zur Stirnfläche 5 des Korbes 3 angeordnet. Die Längsseiten 12 des Korbs 3 und der Einlage 7 sind symmetrisch gewölbt. Die Länge L der einstückigen verstärkten Vorderwand 4 des Korbes 3 in Längsrichtung des Bestecks verhält sich zur Gesamtlänge des Korbes wie folgt: Lf:L = 0,15-0,85.The side walls of the basket 3 have laterally of the open lower part of the basket 3 sheet end faces 6. The holder 2 is provided with a one-piece full insert 7, which is made of a material with a high friction value, such as plastic, and is mounted in the interior of the basket 3. The lower surface 8 of the insert 7 is provided with hand supports 9 and 10 in the end zones and with a symmetrical curvature in the middle. A shaft 11 of the insert 7 protrudes beyond the open rear end face 5 of the basket 3 facing away from the working element. The outer contour of the shaft 11 is arranged equidistant obliquely to the end face 5 of the basket 3. The longitudinal sides 12 of the basket 3 and the insert 7 are curved symmetrically. The length L of the integral reinforced front wall 4 of the basket 3 in the longitudinal direction of the cutlery is related to the overall length of the basket as follows: L f : L = 0.15-0.85.

Aufgrund der Ganzmetallkonstruktion des Küchen- und Tischbestecks wird das Risiko ausgeschlossen, dass das Besteck an der Stoßstelle des funktionalen Arbeitselements 1 und des Halters 2 brechen kann. Eine dreidimensionale haltbare Konstruktion des Metallkorbs 3, dessen Herstellung einfach und dessen Betrieb sicher ist, entspricht hohen Gebrauchsanforderungen. Es ist nämlich dadurch der Teil des Halters verstärkt, der bei der Arbeit den höchsten Belastungen ausgesetzt wird. Auch die Konstruktion des Korbes 3 wird durch seine verstärkte Vorderwand 4 fester, die ihrerseits eine optimale Balancierung der Vorrichtung sichert. Dabei liegt der Gewichtsschwerpunkt an der Kontaktstelle des Arbeitselements 1 und des Halters 2. Dadurch ist der Gewichtsschwerpunkt in einem Teil angeordnet, der den höchsten Wert des spezifischen Gewichts des Bestecks aufweist. Dies wird durch das Verhältnis der Länge Lf der Wand 4 zur Länge L des gesamten Korbes 3 im Rahmen Lf:L = 0,15 bis 0,85 erreicht. Eine solche Balancierung ermöglicht das sichere Festhalten der Vorrichtung in der Hand, das ihr Ausgleiten verhindert. Die Herstellung der Einlage 7 aus Plastik oder einem anderen Material, das einen hohen Reibungswert hat, senkt die Herstellungskosten für den Halter 2, verringert sein Gewicht, schließt das Gleiten der Vorrichtung in der Hand während ihrer Benutzung aus. Die obere leicht konvexe Vollfläche des Korbs 3 sowie die untere Fläche der Einlage 7 liegen bequem in der Hand, weil sie die natürliche Handform kopieren. Die Hand stützt sich dabei gegen die Handabstützungen 9 und 10.Due to the all-metal construction of the kitchen utensils and cutlery, the risk is excluded that the cutlery at the joint of the functional working element 1 and the holder 2 can break. A three-dimensional durable construction of the metal basket 3, whose manufacture is simple and safe to operate, meets high usage requirements. It is reinforced by the part of the holder, which is exposed to the highest loads during work. Also, the construction of the basket 3 is fixed by its reinforced front wall 4, which in turn ensures optimum balance of the device. In this case, the center of gravity lies at the contact point of the working element 1 and the holder 2. Thus, the center of gravity is arranged in a part having the highest value of the specific weight of the cutlery. This is achieved by the ratio of the length L f of the wall 4 to the length L of the entire basket 3 in the frame L f : L = 0.15 to 0.85. Such balancing allows the secure holding of the device in the hand, which prevents it from sliding out. The production of the insert 7 made of plastic or other material which has a high coefficient of friction, reduces the manufacturing costs for the holder 2, reduces its weight, excludes the sliding of the device in the hand during their use. The upper slightly convex solid surface of the basket 3 and the lower surface of the insert 7 are conveniently in the hand, because they copy the natural hand shape. The hand is supported against the hand supports 9 and 10.

Das Einpressen der Plastikeinlage 7 in den Metallkorb 3 schließt die Ablösung an den angrenzenden Flächen aus und erhöht die Abnutzungsfestigkeit des Halters 2. Der hervorragende Schaft 11 der Plastikeinlage 7 verhindert ein eventuelles Rutschen der Hand von der Stirnfläche 5 des Metallkorbs 3 und gewährleistet ein bequemes Halten des Bestecks in der Hand.The pressing of the plastic insert 7 in the metal basket 3 excludes the detachment of the adjacent surfaces and increases the wear resistance of the holder 2. The outstanding shaft 11 of the plastic insert 7 prevents any slippage of the hand from the end face 5 of the metal basket 3 and ensures a comfortable hold cutlery in hand.

Eine solche Konstruktion des Halters 2 ermöglicht eine einfache und kostengünstige Herstellung, gewährleistet die Haltbarkeit, Sicherheit und Abnutzungsfestigkeit des Erzeugnisses, verbessert seine Betriebscharakteristiken.Such a construction of the holder 2 enables a simple and inexpensive production, ensures the durability, safety and wear resistance of the product, improves its operating characteristics.

Auf diese Weise wird mittels der angemeldeten Erfindung die Aufgabe gelöst, die in der Erhöhung der Haltbarkeit des Halters sowie in der Verbesserung seiner Betriebscharakteristiken besteht, d.h. in der Balancierung, Bequemlichkeit der Positionierung und des Haltens in der Hand während der Arbeit, Vereinfachung seiner Konstruktion, Senkung der Herstellungskosten für das Küchen- und Tischbesteck generell sowie für den Halter insbesondere.In this way, by the claimed invention, the object is achieved, which consists in increasing the durability of the holder as well as in improving its operating characteristics, i. in balancing, convenience of positioning and holding in the hand while working, simplifying its construction, lowering the cost of manufacturing kitchen and cutlery in general and for the holder in particular.
