Retaining clip for sausages

The invention relates to a handle for sausages that | are intended for consumption by hand, usually Γ the sausage sausages sold at outdoor events, at fairs and on similar occasions at sausage stands, kiosks, sausage fryers or other sales stands; Chen held by the buyer with the bare hand during consumption.
On the one hand, this is unhygienic because, in most cases, I do not have the opportunity to wash my hands beforehand. In addition, the fingers of the purchaser in taking the sausage [chen greasy, so that the risk of further contamination is loading f, since the possibilities ζμΓ cleaning hands are inadequate after \ consumption in general also. |

Usually, the buyer receives a napkin that has |

the paper napkin given to him for cleaning the If you want to keep your hands after consumption, it will be in the Most traps / pass the sausage with def serviette to take and use it up. Against the risk of the often very hot sausages Burning does not protect the paper napkin adequately either.

The object of the invention is therefore to create a retaining clip for sausages which makes it possible to consume the sausage largely without direct contact with the hands, whereby it must be ensured that the sausage can be gripped and held in a simple and safe manner.
15th

This object is achieved in that the Retaining clip has two clip legs, at least on one End are connected to each other and the other end is designed as a gripping jaw, the concave arched Gripping surfaces are facing each other.

The retaining clip designed in this way can easily be pushed onto the side of the sausage; he is holding the sausage safe and forms a handle that protrudes across the sausage, that the buyer can grab by hand. There is also contamination of the sausage from dirty hands excluded, whereby a substantial hygienic improvement is achieved. At the same time, however, it is also prevented that the user contaminates his fingers with the fat of the sausage or burns himself on the hot sausage. The retaining clip is made very simply and can preferably be made with little material expenditure and low manufacturing costs made of plastic.

Advantageous embodiments of the invention are Subject of sub-claims.

The invention is explained in more detail below using exemplary embodiments which are shown in the drawing. It shows:

in a spatial representation a first embodiment of a retaining clip for sausages, 2 shows a side view of another embodiment of a retaining clip,

a view in the direction of the arrow III in Fig. 2, an enlarged section along the line IV-IV in Fig. 2,

5 shows a plan view of the retaining clip according to FIG. 2 in the flat state and another modified embodiment. The retaining clip 1 shown in Fig. 1 is made in one piece from plastic produced and used to grasp and hold a sausage 2 when eating, which is shown in the drawing with dash-dotted lines Lines is only hinted at. The retaining clip 1 consists of two clip legs 3, which at one end 4 are connected to a common plate. The other ends of each of the clip legs 3 are used as gripping jaws 5 formed, which in the illustrated embodiment have the shape of an outwardly curved surface piece. In each case the inside of each gripping jaw 5 forms a concavely curved gripping surface. 6 that when using on the sausage 2 is present. In order to further improve the gripping effect, one or more inwardly projecting ones can be attached to the gripping surfaces 6 Gripping ribs 7 may be formed, which preferably extend approximately in the longitudinal direction of the legs.

As indicated in Fig. 1, a field 9 can be provided on the outside of the retaining clip 1, for example in the form an embossing in order to attach or emboss a lettering, a trademark or a usage instruction. 15th

In FIGS. 2-5, a modified embodiment of a retaining clip 1 ¹ is shown. This retaining clip 1 ¹ is also made in one piece from plastic. Its two clip legs 3 ', which each have a U-profile in cross-section (FIG. 4), are articulated to one another at one end by a film hinge 10. They are produced in the largely flat state (Fig. 5). For example, injection-molded or deep-drawn, and are then bent on the film hinge 10 until the two clip legs 3 ¹ lie against one another with their respective web surfaces.

In this state, which is shown in Figs. 2-4,

ί the two clip legs 3 'are rigidly connected to one another

bound. This can be done, for example, by a locking mechanism arranged approximately in the middle area of the clip legs 3 '.

■ j. binding 11 happen, which in the illustrated embodiment

example a locking pin 12 on one clip leg 3 '

which engages in a latching opening 13 on the other clip leg 3 'when the two clip legs 3' are pressed against each other. Instead, a other locking connection, an adhesive connection or the like can be selected.

W e can be seen from the drawing?, The edge reinforcements to the clip legs 3 ^f into the jaws 5 'continue to perform these stiffer. In this way, a sufficiently rigid design of the gripping jaws 5 'can be achieved from a relatively thin material.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the two gripping jaws 5 are one the sausage by more than half encompassing sleeve 14 connected, the gripping jaws 5 at the same time forming the clip legs. A gripping tab 15 is molded on the outside of the sleeve 14 and is partially pulled down with its edges on the outside of the sleeve 14, so that outer ribs 16 arise. The elastic tension of the clip is achieved by the shape of the gripping jaws 5 and is reinforced by the ribs 16.
