Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an egg cup for the uncapping and consumption of boiled eggs.
  • an egg cup includes a body whose lower end forms a foot allowing its support on a surface such as a table and in the upper part of which opens a cavity of circular section intended to receive the egg.
  • the consumption of a boiled egg also requires the cutting of a cap at the top of it, an operation which is generally carried out by breaking it with a knife, and which is complicated by the poor resistance of the egg indicated above.
  • egg cups have already been proposed comprising a lower part receiving the base of the egg and an upper part fitting onto it and having a horizontal upper circular opening, centered on the vertical axis of the egg cup , the upper part holding the egg and comprising a mobile tool for cutting the part of the egg shell, or cap, which protrudes from the circular opening.
  • the results obtained with these devices are not completely satisfactory, the tests showing that the egg shell is broken and not cut cleanly, so that very often pieces of shell manage to penetrate the egg.
  • the invention relates to an egg cup in two parts in which the egg is held very firmly while leaving the consumer his two hands free, and thanks to which the cap of the egg is cut clean and not broken. It is characterized: - in that it is equipped with a quick closing device to fix, while fitting it, the upper part on the lower part, - in that it is equipped with means exerting on the egg, once the two parts fixed one on the other, a strong pressure from bottom to top to firmly hold the egg in position, - in that the edge of the circular opening is a sharp edge, - in that the mobile cutting tool is a blade adjoining the opening and fixed on a part, itself tilting towards the axis and slidingly mounted in a circular guide coaxial with the opening and of larger diameter, this blade projecting on the one hand towards the inside of the egg cup, to completely cross the egg shell when this piece is tilted towards the axis, and pointing approximately in the direction of the circumference of the opening for that its cutting edge comes to rest, when the blade has passed through the shell, against
  • the egg cup of the invention is made up of two interlocking parts which are fixed one on the other like a bayonet light bulb: - a lower part 1 in which the egg will be placed, - an upper part 2, intended to fit onto the lower part and to be fixed there by quick snap-in using a bayonet device (or other quick-closing device, such as a screw closure) .
  • a bayonet device or other quick-closing device, such as a screw closure
  • the lower part 1 has a general appearance of a classic egg cup in one piece. It is composed of a foot 3, either rigid or flexible and forming a suction cup, surmounted by a cup 4 open upwards. In the cup 4 is placed an elastic mattress 5 which covers most of the internal surface and the bottom of which is however pierced with an orifice 6 which can allow passage to a helical spring 7 of repulsion, coaxial with the vertical axis 8 egg cup and leaning on the bottom of part 1.
  • the mattress 5 is for example made of polyurethane foam, the texture and hardness of which are chosen so that it exerts on the egg 9, once it is in place in the egg cup, strong vertical pressure from bottom to top. It also has the advantage of retaining the warmth of the egg.
  • the spring 7 also exerts vertical pressure from bottom to top on the egg. Its presence is not, however, mandatory, but rather required for small eggs.
  • the upper part 2 has a hemispherical shape and is pierced, at its upper end, with a circular opening 10, which will exceed the cap 11 of the egg.
  • Two centripetal pins 12 are placed, diametrically opposite, inside the hemisphere, and the cup 4 is provided, on its upper outer part, with two lateral recesses 20, in the shape of an inverted L, also diametrically opposite. .
  • the pins 12 and the recesses 20 are dimensioned and positioned in a complementary manner so that the part 2 can fit onto the part 1, then snap onto it by a slight clockwise rotation, exactly as we comes to fix a bayonet bulb on its socket.
  • the egg 9 being in place on the mattress 5 and the spring 7, the pressure exerted upwards facilitates this latching operation.
  • the edge 14 of the circular opening 10 forms a sharp edge, the primary effect of which is to press without any play against the egg shell, keeping it then firmly in position. cooperation with the pressure exerted upwards by the mattress 5 and the spring 7.
  • a circular groove 13, coaxial with the opening 10, is formed in the external part of the hemisphere 2, and in this groove is closely engaged a circular rod 15 on which are fixed, diametrically opposite, on the one hand a piece 16 carrying a cutting blade 17, and on the other hand a piece 18, substantially the same shape as the piece 16, which will serve, as will be explained below, for support for the thumb or forefinger of the user of the egg cup.
  • the part 18 can have a completely different shape from that of the part 16 carrying the tool.
  • the rod 15 can slide in its groove 13, so that the assembly of the two parts 16 and 18 can be rotated all around the opening 10.
  • the part 16 is fixed on the rod 15, and it is originally rectilinear, with two pins 19 at each of its ends. At mounting, the rod 15 is engaged in the groove 13, it is stretched and the piece 18 is fitted on the two pins 19 thanks to two corresponding orifices 29 in this piece.
  • the part 16 is made of a semi-rigid plastic material and it is provided with a transverse groove 21, so that it is tiltable towards the axis, and vice versa, as indicated by the double arrow 22 in the figure 2.
  • the cutting blade 17 is mounted on the top of the tilting part 16 and is fixed thereon, for example by a screw 23 (it could as well be embedded in the mass). It is placed in a grazing manner relative to the edge 14 of the opening 10 and it projects towards the inside of the egg cup, being substantially at right angles to the plane tangent to the hemisphere 2, at the location of the opening. circular 10. Furthermore, it points approximately in the circumferential direction D of the edge of the opening 10, its cutting edge 24 looking towards the outside of the circle of the opening 10 (FIG. 3).
  • the operation of the egg cup is as follows:
  • the upper part 2 is snapped on and fixed on the lower part 1.
  • the egg 9 is then held firmly , and there is a minimum play, practically negligible, between the egg and the sharp edge 14, which is an essential condition for achieving a good cut.
  • part 2 When part 2 is placed on part 1, the egg pushes the blade 17 outwards, so that part 16 rocks backwards.
  • To make the cut place the index finger around the piece 18 and the thumb around the piece 16, or vice-versa, and press the piece 18 to tilt it towards the axis 8.
  • the blade 17 then penetrates mentally into the egg and passes completely through its shell, while coming into close contact with the sharp edge 14.
  • Its cutting edge 24 then forms, with the tangent to the circle of the edge 14 at their point of contact. , an acute angle of ten degrees, in which the wall of the egg shell is engaged, in the manner in which a sheet of paper would be engaged between the two cutting edges of a pair of scissors, one of the cutting edges being 24, and the other being the sharp edge 14.
