DE1856656U - PLATE WITH CURVED UPPER EDGE. - Google Patents

Description

"Plate with a curved upper rim." ---------------------------------------- The innovation relates to a plate, a bowl or the like. The upper edge portion is designed so that the food contained therein can be removed to the last rest without difficulty.

In the case of the known plates, bowls or the like, it is known that the difficulty, especially with children or the sick, that the contents of the plate with the help of a spoon it is difficult to empty it because, for example it is difficult to grasp a piece of the food with a spoon because this piece when it comes into contact with the spoon, it is pushed away from this spoon.

Attempts have already been made to overcome this difficulty by providing plates with a relatively steep edge portion. With this known solution, every but only partially overcome the above-mentioned difficulty and there still remains the disadvantage that meals which are predominantly liquid are spilled when the plate is tilted. Such a tilting of the plate can not only be observed in children or the sick, but it can also be observed when eating in vehicles, for. B. occur unintentionally on ships or in dining cars.

According to the innovation, not only the removal of partially lumpy Eating out of the plate makes it easier, but you also get a high level of security against spilling partially or mainly liquid food when tilting the Plates.

This is achieved in that the 'upper edge part of the plate after is bent at the top and the inside.

Such plates can be manufactured from a single piece or, which is often more favorable in terms of manufacturing technology, they can be designed in two parts. In the two-part design, a lower part with a relatively steep edge is used, onto which an annular upper part made of elastic material is then placed, the connection between these two parts being expediently carried out so that on a circular recess in front of the lower edge of the upper part. is seen, which is slipped over the upper edge of the lower part. By appropriately dimensioning the thickness and elasticity of the upper part, a completely tight connection can be achieved between the upper part and the lower part.

For example, embodiments of the implementation according to the innovation described below with reference to the accompanying drawing, in FIG. 1 a Section through a plate designed according to the innovation, while Fig. 2 shows a section through a two-part embodiment of such a plate.

The plate 1 shown in Figure 1 has a flat bottom 2, on which is followed by a relatively steep side wall 3, which in its upper Part 4 is directed obliquely inwards and upwards.

The plate shown in Figure 2 consists of a lower part 5 and an upper part 6. As a lower part, for example, a normal plate can be used on which the elastic upper part 6 is attached by mediating 'U' a recess 7 pushed over the edge of the lower part 5 will. The material for the plate according to the innovation can be any be, but are particularly suitable deformable plastics such as Bdss. Polyethylene. mz * 23. Polyethylene.

Claims (2)

S c h u t z a n s p r ü c h e 1. Plate, bowl or similar, marked by an upper edge part, which is directed obliquely inwards and upwards. 2. Plate according to claim 1, characterized in that the upper edge part forms a separate part which is clamped to the lower part.
