Abstract

The device has a handle (1) with an opening (2) in a hook shape and a curved beveled part (3). The curved part breaks down a part of two bivalve shells by a swiveling movement of the device after introduction of the shell into the opening (2) to create a light opening. The beveled part introduced into the light opening divides muscle of the two shells by to and fro movement of a user to separate the shells.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour ouvrir lesThe present invention relates to a device for opening the

coquillages bivalves.bivalve shells.

L'ouverture de ces coquillages est traditionnellement effectuée à l'aide d'un couteau pointu nécessitant une certaine habitude de la 5 part de l'utilisateur et occasionnant de ce fait des risques importants de blessures.  The opening of these shells is traditionally carried out using a sharp knife requiring a certain habit on the part of the user and thereby causing significant risks of injury.

Le dispositif selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients. Il est constitué en effet selon une première caractéristique, d'une seule pièce présentant à l'une de ses io extrémités, une poignée munie d'une ouverture dans laquelle peut être introduite la partie avant du coquillage et d'une partie courbe et légèrement biseautée à l'autre extrémité. Cette ouverture permet par un basculement vers le bas, à l'aide de la poignée, de la part de l'utilisateur, de briser une partie des deux coquilles afin de créer une 15 légère ouverture. Ainsi, l'utilisateur introduit alors l'autre extrémité du dispositif à l'intérieur du coquillage et par un mouvement d'aller-retour, sectionne le muscle du coquillage séparant ainsi les deux coquilles.  The device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It is in fact made up according to a first characteristic, of a single piece having at one of its io ends, a handle provided with an opening into which the front part of the shell can be introduced and with a curved and slightly beveled at the other end. This opening makes it possible, by tilting downwards, using the handle, on the part of the user, to break part of the two shells in order to create a slight opening. Thus, the user then introduces the other end of the device inside the shell and by a back-and-forth movement, cuts the shell muscle thus separating the two shells.

Selon des modes particuliers de réalisation: - la poignée peut être recouverte d'un manche - l'ouverture peut comporter des zones dentées.  According to particular embodiments: - the handle can be covered with a handle - the opening can include toothed zones.

Les dessins annexés illustrent l'invention: La figure n'l représente le dispositif de l'invention La figure n02 représente une variante de ce dispositif En référence à ces dessins, le dispositif comporte une poignée (1) munie d'une ouverture en forme de crochet (2) et une partie courbe biseautée (3).  The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention: Figure n'l shows the device of the invention Figure n02 shows a variant of this device With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a handle (1) provided with a shaped opening hook (2) and a bevelled curved part (3).

Dans la forme de réalisation selon la figure n02, la poignée (1) comporte un manche (4) en deux parties immobilisées sur celle-ci 30 par l'intermédiaire de rivets (5). L'ouverture est munie de dents (6) permettant de briser plus facilement les coquilles (7).  In the embodiment according to FIG. 02, the handle (1) comprises a handle (4) in two parts immobilized thereon by means of rivets (5). The opening is provided with teeth (6) making it easier to break the shells (7).

Selon la forme de réalisation figure n03, la poignée (1) est recouverte de matière plastique (8) en une seule opération de moulage par injection.  According to the embodiment of figure n03, the handle (1) is covered with plastic (8) in a single injection molding operation.

Selon une variante illustrée, figure n04, l'ouverture (2) et la partie biseautée (3) se situent de part et d'autre de la poignée (1) permettant une utilisation aisée.  According to a variant illustrated, Figure n04, the opening (2) and the bevelled part (3) are located on either side of the handle (1) allowing easy use.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à l'ouverture des coquillages bivalves tels que les huîtres.  The device according to the invention is particularly intended for the opening of bivalve shells such as oysters.
