Abstract
Description
L'invention a pour but de permettre à une personne qui ne dispose que de l'usage d'une seule main par suite, notamment, d'une amputation, d'une hémiplégie, ou de l'indisponibilité temporaire en raison d'une fracture, d'une brûlure, ou pour toute autre cause, de prendre malgré tout ses repas comma,si elle disposait de ses deux mains, en utilisant à la fois des éléments équivalant, respectivement, a la fourchette et au couteau. The invention aims to allow a person who has only the use of one hand as a result, in particular, of an amputation, a hemiplegia, or temporary unavailability due to a fracture, burn, or for any other reason, to take, despite everything, her meals comma, if she had both hands, using both elements equivalent, respectively, to a fork and a knife.
Ce but est atteint par un ustensile de table caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte, en combinaison, un élément formant fourchatte et un élément formant lame de couteau, avec un organe portant l'élément-lame pouvant coulisser sur le manche de l'élément-fourchette, et un montage à pivotement de l'élément-lame sur ledit organe coulissant1 avec des moyens pour le rappel elastique d l'élément-lame vers sa position basse. This object is achieved by a table utensil characterized in that it comprises, in combination, a fork forming element and a knife blade element, with a member carrying the blade element which can slide on the handle of the element. -fork, and a pivoting mounting of the blade element on said sliding member 1 with means for the elastic return of the blade element to its low position.
Suivant un mode de réalisation de l'ustensile-de table selon l'invention le manche de l'élément-fourchette est conformé de maniôre as constituer des butées limitant le coulissement de l'o@gane portant l'élément-couteau vers l'avant, et vers l'ar riere, respectivement de l'élément-fourchette. According to one embodiment of the table utensil according to the invention the handle of the fork element is shaped so as to constitute stops limiting the sliding of the o @ gane carrying the knife element towards the front, and back, respectively, of the fork element.
Une autre caractéristique de l'invention consiste en l'interposition, entre la face du curseur en regard de la face supé- rieure de l'élément-fourchette, et le manche de l'élémentfourchette d'une bille facilitant le glissement du curseur. Another characteristic of the invention consists in the interposition, between the face of the cursor opposite the upper face of the fork element, and the handle of the fork element of a ball facilitating the sliding of the cursor.
Ces caractéristiques, ainsi que d'autres, non encore énoncées, seront bien comprises a' la lecture de la description et à l'examen des dessins annexés, montrant un mode d'exécution donné a simple titre d'exemple nullement limitatif. Sur le dessin:
Fig.1 est une vue en élévation latérale de l'ustensile combiné, l'élément-lame se trouvant en position arrière,
Fig.2 en est une vue en plan,
Fig.3 est une vue en élévation analogue a la fig.1, mais l'élément-lame se trouvant en position avant,
Fig.4 une vue en elévation latérale, prise sur l'autre côté,
Fig.5 une vue en coupe transversale selon V-V (Fig.1), et
Fig.6 une coupe transversaie suivant VI-VI (Fig.l). These characteristics, as well as others, which have not yet been stated, will be clearly understood on reading the description and on examining the appended drawings, showing an embodiment given simply by way of non-limiting example. On the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of the combined utensil, the blade element being in the rear position,
Fig. 2 is a plan view thereof,
Fig.3 is an elevational view similar to Fig.1, but the blade element being in the front position,
Fig. 4 a side elevation view, taken on the other side,
Fig. 5 a cross-sectional view along VV (Fig. 1), and
Fig. 6 a cross section along VI-VI (Fig.l).
Dans ces figures, I est l'élément-fourchette, 2 ltélément- lame et 3 l'organe coulissant, ou curseur, sur lequel est monté l'élément-lame 2. In these figures, I is the fork element, 2 the blade element and 3 the sliding member, or slider, on which the blade element 2 is mounted.
Le manche lb de la fourchette est conformé de manière à constituer des butées 4 et 5, limitant le coulissement du curseur 3 en position avant et en position arrière, respectivement. The handle 1b of the fork is shaped so as to constitute stops 4 and 5, limiting the sliding of the slider 3 in the front position and in the rear position, respectively.
En outre, la dent la de la fourchette présente, du côté en regard de la lame 2,
Quant à la lame 2, son bord inférieur peut être un tranchant affilé, comme représenté au dessin, ou être denté.In addition, the tooth la of the fork has, on the opposite side of the blade 2,
As for the blade 2, its lower edge can be a sharp edge, as shown in the drawing, or be toothed.
Cette lame 2 est fixée sur le curseur 3 par vis 6 et écrou 7, sur la brsnche 3a du curseur, mais de manière à pouvoir pivoter autour de la tige de la vis 6 et sur cette branche est également fixée une broche 8 dirigée vers l'intérieur, qui traverse les spires supérieures d'un ressort hélicoïdal 9,logé dans le curseur, dont une extrémité est fixée à la base du curseur et dont l'autre est libre, le ressort 9 assurant, par l'action de la broche 8, le rappel élastique de la lame vers sa position basse, ladite broche étant guidée, lors du pivotement autour de son axe d'articulation 6, dans une boutonnière Il délimitée par des arcs de cercle ayant leur centre sur l'axe 6. This blade 2 is fixed on the cursor 3 by screw 6 and nut 7, on the slsnche 3a of the cursor, but so as to be able to pivot around the rod of the screw 6 and on this branch is also fixed a pin 8 directed towards the inside, which passes through the upper turns of a helical spring 9, housed in the slider, one end of which is fixed to the base of the slider and the other of which is free, the spring 9 ensuring, by the action of the spindle 8, the elastic return of the blade to its low position, said spindle being guided, during pivoting about its hinge axis 6, in a buttonhole It delimited by arcs of a circle having their center on axis 6.
Pour faciliter le déplacement du curseur 3, une bille 12 peut être interposée entre la curseur 3 et le manche de la fourchette 2; elle est logée entra une cavité 13 du curseur 3 et une rainure 14 pratiquée dans le manche de la fourchette 2. To facilitate the movement of the cursor 3, a ball 12 can be interposed between the cursor 3 and the handle of the fork 2; it is housed between a cavity 13 of the slider 3 and a groove 14 formed in the handle of the fork 2.
L'ustensile peut être utilisé pour saisir différents mets et les porter à la bouche, auquel cas on ne se sert que de la fourchette 1, la lame 2 restant en position arrière inoperante. The utensil can be used to grasp different dishes and bring them to the mouth, in which case only fork 1 is used, the blade 2 remaining in the inoperative rear position.
Lorsqu'il s'agit drassuJettir le mets, tel qu'une viande par exemple, et le découper, l'ustensile est tenu dans la main entre le pouce et le majeur et appuyé contre la paume de la main, puis une fois la fourchette 1 implantée dans le mets à découper pour le tenir, la lame 2, appliquée contre ledit mets est, au moyen de l'index posé sur la face supérieure du curseur 3, animée d' un mouvement de va-et-vient pour effectuer le découpage. When it comes to drassuJet the dish, such as a meat for example, and cut it, the utensil is held in the hand between the thumb and the middle finger and pressed against the palm of the hand, then once the fork 1 implanted in the dish to be cut to hold it, the blade 2, applied against said dish is, by means of the index placed on the upper face of the cursor 3, animated by a back and forth movement to perform the cutting.
