Abstract

1. Tongs to prepare fish on the dinner table formed by a band folded in order to form two ribbed legs (1, 2; 5, 6; 16, 18) in slightly flared shape, each end of which is cut to a bevel (3) and a rounded point (4), characterized by the fact that the band is stainless steel and that one of the legs (6, 16) is provided with a sliding bone ejector (8) comprising guide means and a control pusher (11, 17).

Description

La présente invention a pour objet une pince à apprêter les poissons sur table et notamment destinée à rendre plus facile et plus rapide la séparation des filets, des arêtes et des nageoires.The present invention relates to tongs for preparing fish on the table and in particular intended to make easier and faster the separation of nets, bones and fins.

Actuellement, il existe des ustensiles pour apprêter les poissons sur table essentiellement constitués d'une bande en métal pliée en deux, dont les branches sont nervurées pour en assurer le raidissement et dont les extrémités sont coupées en biseaux et leurs bouts arrondis. Les brevets DE-C-822 008 et FR-A-1 435 205 décrivent de tels ustensiles. Une pince conformément au préambule de la revendication est décrite dans le brevet DE-C-822 008. Toutefois, ces pinces ne sont pas pratiques parce que les arêtes enlevées demeurent collées contre les branches.Currently, there are utensils for preparing fish on the table essentially consisting of a metal band folded in two, whose branches are ribbed to ensure stiffening and whose ends are cut in bevels and their ends rounded. The patents DE-C-822 008 and FR-A-1 435 205 describe such utensils. A clamp according to the preamble of the claim is described in patent DE-C-822 008. However, these clamps are not practical because the removed edges remain glued against the branches.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, la bande est en acier ressort inoxydable et l'une des branches est equipée d'un éjecteur d'arêtes coulissant comportant des moyens de guidage et un poussoir de manoeuvre.To remedy this drawback, the strip is made of stainless spring steel and one of the branches is equipped with a sliding edge ejector comprising guide means and an operating push button.

Des modes particuliers de réalisation de l'invention apparaissent dans les revendications dependantes 2 à 6.Particular embodiments of the invention appear in dependent claims 2 to 6.

Les figures 13 à 17 sont des schémas montrant l'utilisation de la pince avec éjecteur du genre de celle représentée figure 10 à 12.FIGS. 13 to 17 are diagrams showing the use of the clamp with ejector of the kind of that represented in FIG. 10 to 12.

Les figures 1 à 3 montrent une réalisation simple de la pince dont il s'agit. Réalisée dans une bande en tôle d'acier ressort inoxydable, elle comporte deux branches 1, 2 pliées qui s'évasent et qui sont nervurées.Figures 1 to 3 show a simple embodiment of the clamp in question. Made of a strip of stainless steel sheet spring, it has two folded branches 1, 2 which flare and which are ribbed.

L'extrémité de chaque branche 1, 2 est coupée en biseau 3 suivant un angle approximativement de 300 et dont la pointe 4 est arrondie.The end of each branch 1, 2 is cut at a bevel 3 at an angle of approximately 30 ° and the point 4 of which is rounded.

Les figures 4 à 9 représentent une pince selon l'invention équipée d'un éjecteur d'arêtes.Figures 4 to 9 show pliers according to the invention equipped with an edge ejector.

Cette pince est réalisée dans une bande en tôle d'acier ressort inoxydable pliée pour former deux branches 5, 6. La branche 5 est parallèle à la branche 6 sauf pour son extrémité 7 qui s'évase. Comme dans la réalisation des figures 1 à 3, chaque extrémité des branches est coupée en biseau 3 et sa pointe 4 arrondie.This clamp is made of a strip of stainless steel sheet spring folded to form two branches 5, 6. The branch 5 is parallel to the branch 6 except for its end 7 which flares. As in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, each end of the branches is cut at a bevel 3 and its tip 4 rounded.

La branche 6 supporte un éjecteur 8. Elle comporte une rainure 9 dans laquelle pénètre une patte 10 qui constitue un poussoir 11 qui s'étend perpendiculairement à l'extérieur de la pince.The branch 6 supports an ejector 8. It has a groove 9 into which penetrates a tab 10 which constitutes a pusher 11 which extends perpendicularly to the outside of the clamp.

L'éjecteur 8 est réalisé dans une bande en acier ressort inoxydable de forme identique à celle constituant la pince.The ejector 8 is made of a strip of stainless spring steel identical in shape to that constituting the clamp.

Il s'étend sur sa face interne de la branche 6 et comporte une rainure 12 dans laquelle pénètre une patte 13 de la branche 6.It extends on its internal face of the branch 6 and has a groove 12 into which a lug 13 of the branch 6 penetrates.

Les pattes 10 et 14 assurant le guidage de l'éjecteur 8 en combinaison avec les rainures 9 et 12 dans lesquelles elles pénètrent.The tabs 10 and 14 guiding the ejector 8 in combination with the grooves 9 and 12 into which they penetrate.

Pour le démontage, la rainure 12 de l'éjecteur 8 comporte une fenêtre 14 de la dimension de la patte 13 pénétrant dans la rainure 12, pour qu'elle puisse s'en échapper.For disassembly, the groove 12 of the ejector 8 has a window 14 the size of the tab 13 penetrating into the groove 12, so that it can escape from it.

Suivant une variante d'exécution, la pince représentée figures 10 à 12 comporte un éjecteur 8 qui coulisse dans une glissière constituée par les bords pliés 15 de la branche 16. Le poussoir 17 de l'éjecteur 8 s'étend perpendiculairement entre les deux branches 16 et 18 de la pince et la branche 18 est découpée par une fenêtre 19 permettant le passage dudit poussoir 17 lorsque lesdites branches sont rapprochées. Cette disposition permet la manoeuvre de l'éjecteur 8 avec la même main qui appréhende la pince.According to an alternative embodiment, the clamp shown in Figures 10 to 12 includes an ejector 8 which slides in a slide formed by the folded edges 15 of the branch 16. The pusher 17 of the ejector 8 extends perpendicularly between the two branches 16 and 18 of the clamp and the branch 18 is cut by a window 19 allowing the passage of said pusher 17 when said branches are brought together. This arrangement allows the ejector 8 to be operated with the same hand which grasps the clamp.

La branche 16 qui supporte l'éjecteur 8 comporte un bossage 20 saillant à l'extérieur et permettant, lorsque la pince est posée d'empêcher que l'extrémité de la branche 16 n'entre en contact avec la table et ne souille la nappe.The branch 16 which supports the ejector 8 has a boss 20 projecting outside and making it possible, when the clamp is placed, to prevent the end of the branch 16 from coming into contact with the table and contaminating the sheet. .

Comme l'illustrent les figures 13 à 17, l'utilisation de cette pince est simple:

  • - Enlever toutes les nageoires avec la partie biseautée et séparer les deux filets en surface du poisson, comme le montrent les figures 13 et 14.
  • - Soulever les deux filets et les retourner pour enlever les petites arêtes qui sont éjectées en manoeuvrant le poussoir 17 avec le pouce de la main qui tient la pince, comme illustré figures 14 et 17.
  • - Décoller et enlever l'arête centrale, la tête et la queue, comme l'indique la figure 15, éjecteur 8 poussé.
  • - Sur les filets restants, enlever les petites arêtes et éjecter celles qui restent collées contre les extrémités internes des branches 16 et 18 en poussant l'éjecteur 8 au moyen du poussoir 17, comme le montrent les figures 16 et 17.
As illustrated in Figures 13 to 17, the use of these pliers is simple:
  • - Remove all the fins with the bevelled part and separate the two fillets on the surface of the fish, as shown in Figures 13 and 14.
  • - Lift the two threads and turn them over to remove the small edges which are ejected by operating the pusher 17 with the thumb of the hand holding the pliers, as illustrated in Figures 14 and 17.
  • - Peel off and remove the central ridge, head and tail, as shown in Figure 15, ejector 8 pushed.
  • - On the remaining threads, remove the small edges and eject those which remain stuck against the internal ends of the branches 16 and 18 by pushing the ejector 8 by means of the pusher 17, as shown in Figures 16 and 17.

L'agrément résultant de l'utilisation de cette pince, tout en réduisant largement le temps de la préparation, par rapport aux anciennes méthodes, est encore accru par le plaisir de manger chaud.The pleasure resulting from the use of these tongs, while greatly reducing the preparation time, compared to the old methods, is further increased by the pleasure of eating hot.

D'autres utilisations de la pince objet de l'invention peuvent être envisagées. Par exemple pour enlever les fils des haricots verts, pour saisir les frites, les olives, les brisures d'os, les grenouilles mais non exclusivement.Other uses of the clamp object of the invention can be envisaged. For example to remove the threads of green beans, to sear fries, olives, broken bones, frogs but not exclusively.

Dans certains cas, l'éjecteur est remplacé par une petite plaque dont la face est rugueuse. Pour ôter les morceaux des brochettes, la pince est utilisée sans l'éjecteur.In some cases, the ejector is replaced by a small plate whose face is rough. To remove the pieces from the skewers, the tongs are used without the ejector.

En toutes occasions, la pince objet de l'invention complète utilement les couverts de table.On all occasions, the tongs object of the invention usefully complements table cutlery.
