Device for opening eggs

The invention relates to a device for opening eggs.

In the home, eggs are usually opened in such a way that they are against any sharp edge, which is relatively time-consuming and tedious, especially when a large number of eggs are to be opened is. It is therefore the object of the invention to propose a device by means of which the opening of eggs is simplified. This task is achieved according to the invention in that the device with a

H / K

Frame and one made up of two separable parts or halves Receiving for the egg is provided that cutting-like means for opening the egg are provided, in particular below the Receptacle are arranged and connected to the frame, and that means are provided by which a pressure is exerted on the egg in the receptacle can be so that the egg is opened by the cutting-like means and the receiving halves are separated.

The receiving halves can be in a closed position to hold the egg be pressed.

The cutting edge-like means can consist of two parts, of which each is connected to the associated one of the two receiving halves, the two parts coming into the closed position when the receiving halves be brought into the closed position. The blade-like means for opening the egg can be used as gripping means for gripping the separated The edges of the two opened eggshell halves are used.

According to a preferred embodiment, separate gripping means are used provided that grip the two halves of the eggshell after opening an egg.

Further details and features of the invention are from the following Description of preferred embodiments and based on the accompanying drawings.

In Figs. 1 to 3, a preferred embodiment is one according to the invention Device 10 for opening eggs is shown, which is provided with a frame 12 which carries a receptacle 14 for an egg. The recording 14 consists of two separable halves 14.1 and 14.2, which are pivotable are attached at 16.1 and 16.2 and by spring means, not shown be pushed to the closed position. Directly below the receptacle 14 are in the plane of the line which divides the two halves of the Receptacle 14 parts; cutting edge-like means, e.g. a cutting edge 18, arranged, which is connected to the frame 12 via arms 18.1 and 18.2.

Below the cutting edge 18 are two vertical ones on both sides of the same Arranged gripping plates 20.1 and 20.2, the arms 22.1 and 22.2 are pivotably connected to the frame 12. The arms 22.1 and 22.2 are also means by not shown spring in the closed Position pressed.

The frame 12 is firmly connected to a lever 24, which in turn is pivotably connected to a second lever 26. On the second lever 26 is a semicircular plate directly above the receptacle 14 28 - see FIG. 1 - is provided, which when the two levers 24 and 26 are pressed together, a pressure is exerted on one arranged in the receptacle 14 Egg 30 exercises. The semicircular plate 28 is pivotably connected to the lever 26 and can be fitted with a strip of resilient material 32, z. B, rubber, be lined.

To open the egg 30, it is inserted into the receptacle 14, which the egg 30 is then supported above the cutting edge 18. Handles of levers 24 and 26 are then pressed against one another, causing the plate 28 exerts a pressure on the egg 30, the two halves 14.1 and 14.2 the receptacle 14 separate and be pivoted outward. The egg is then pressed against the cutting edge 18, which cuts open the egg shell. The plates 20.1 and 20.2 grip the edges of the separate halves of the The egg shell and the egg yolk and the egg white can flow down over the sides of the cutting edge 18.

When you let go of the handles of the levers 24 and 26, these are through a spring 34 is brought back into its starting position shown in FIG. The receiving halves 14.1 and 14.2 go back into the closed position and the opened, emptied eggshell can then be removed from the device.

In the embodiment according to FIG. 4, another support 36 is for the Egg provided. A lever 38 carries at each of the free ends of its two arms a pair of pins 40.1, 42.1 and 40.2 and 42.2 respectively Recording 44 consists of two open frames 44.1 and 44.2, which swivel -

4189/4195

bar on the pins 42.1 and 42.2 are attached and under the action of Feathers stand.

Two vertical gripping plates under the action of springs 46.1 and 46.2 serve to separate the two halves of the eggshell and are rotatably arranged on the pins 40.1 and 40.2.

A rural cutting edge is used to cut and break the egg which is connected to the lever 38. The lever 38 is provided with a recess 50 through which a second, not shown Lever can be passed, which is designed corresponding to the lever 26 in FIG.

In the further preferred embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, rin support 54 is provided for the egg, in the receiving half 56.1 and 56.2 are combined together with a part 58 for breaking the egg. The part 58 consists of two cutting edges 58.1 and 58.2, the are each attached to the receiving halves 56.1 and 56.2. On one Lever 60 is attached to a fork with pins 62.1 and 62.2. On this The mounting halves 56.1 and 56.2 are pivotably arranged on the pins, which are pressed into the closed position shown in FIG. 5 by spring means.

With the receiving halves 56.1 and 56.2 are actuating arms 64.1 and 64.2 attached. The free ends of the actuating arms 64.1 and 64.2 are located below a contact plate 66 which is attached to a second lever 68 is. The second lever 68 also carries a pivotally mounted circular plate 70 - see FIG. 6

4189/4195

After inserting an egg 72 into the receiving halves 56.1 and 56.2 First, the plate 70 comes into contact with the egg 72 when the handles of the levers 60 and 68 are pressed together. With further When the handles are pressed together, the blades 58.1 and 58.2 open the egg. Then the plate 66 is against the free ends of the arms 64.1 and 64.2 pressed, making the same move down. This results in outward pivoting of the receiving halves 56.1 and 56.2 and the cutting edges 58.1 and 58.2.

The cutting edges 58.1 and 58.2 hold the edges of the separated halves

the eggshell is open so that the egg white and the yolk go downwards

fall through the two cutting edges 58.1 and 58.2. In the cutting edges 58.1 and 58.2 is thus the function of the cutting edge 18 and the plates 20.1 and 20.2 according to FIGS. 1 to 3 combined.
