Description

Fish knife with a folding knife blade. The latter differs from a conventional fish knife in that the knife blade consists of two parts that can be spread apart and operated using the knife handle.

The so-called tension spring is shaped like a knife handle or integrated into the knife handle. When the tension spring is compressed, the 2-part knife blade spreads apart by approx. 8 mm. When the pressure on the tension spring (knife handle) is released, the knife blade closes and can thus hold the captured bones (see drawing on page 1).

With the knife edge closed, the newly invented device can be used as a normal fish knife for chopping up pieces of fish.

Removing bones is only possible to a limited extent with conventional fish cutlery, as the attempt to remove the bone between the fork and the conventional

Clamping and removing fish knives usually fails. For this reason, it is usually necessary to remove the bone to be removed using the fingers. With this conventional method, it is inevitable that the user of conventional fish cutlery will get their fingers dirty and be at risk of injury from sharp bones.

Because of this laborious and potentially dangerous removal of bones, some fish are also filleted, although this does not exclude the possibility that bones may still be found in the prepared fish meat.

The invention specified in the claim is based on the problem of creating a knife which, on the one hand, is suitable for chopping up the fish to be eaten and, on the other hand, with the help of a tension spring which also serves as a knife handle, allows the two-part knife blade to be spread apart along its entire length in order to grasp and remove the bone to be removed (see drawing, page 2).

Using a conventional fork or a further piece of cutlery, the bones caught by the newly invented device are simply scraped off and deposited on the leftover plate that is usually provided.

Thanks to the new invention, it is also no longer necessary to put a piece of equipment down from your hand every time you remove a bone in order to grasp the bone or skin flap to be removed with your fingers.

This invention means that the bones can be removed without touching them with hands and fingers, thus preventing hands and fingers from becoming dirty. In particular, this means that the aesthetics can be preserved in restaurants, as fingers and hands are not soiled with bones and fish meat residue.

To clean the fish knife with the hinged blade, the spread of the split blade can be maintained by means of a locking device during washing by hand or with the help of a dishwasher (see drawing on sheet 2, "Locking device").
