Abstract

Une raclette se monte sur une plaque solidaire du balais-raclette à l'aide d'une structure permettant de la changer rapidement et sans outil. Une barrette de retenue fixé à la plaque pivote entre une position d'ouverture où on peut remplacer la raclette à la main, et une position de fermeture ou la barrette maintient la raclette en place en vue de son utilisation. La barrette est maintenue sur la plaque par une fixation qui dans l'exécution présentée est un écrou, se vissant sur une tige filetée fixée à la plaque, et en dont la forme de bouton permet de le visser ou dévisser à la main.
