Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un protège-main utilisable lors de l'ouverture d'huítres ou de coquillages similaires.The present invention relates to a hand guard usable when opening oysters or shellfish similar.
L'ouverture d'huítres est une opération plutôt difficile, à l'origine de nombreuses blessures de la main lorsque le couteau permettant cette ouverture dérape.The opening of oysters is a rather difficult, causing numerous hand injuries when the knife allowing this opening slips.
En outre, les coquilles sont relativement blessantes et peuvent irriter à la longue la main de la personne chargée de les ouvrir, quand de nombreux coquillages doivent être ouverts, par exemple dans un restaurant.In addition, the shells are relatively offensive and can irritate the hand of the person responsible for opening them, when many shells should be opened, for example in a restaurant.
Il n'existe pas sur le marché, à l'heure actuelle, de protège-main donnant satisfaction.There isn’t on the market right now, of hand guard giving satisfaction.
Un simple torchon plié est fréquemment utilisé, mais n'est pas très efficace.A simple folded cloth is frequently used, but is not very effective.
Le brevet français n° 1 461 667 décrit un protège-main comprenant une feuille plane apte à recouvrir largement la paume et la base des doigts d'une main, cette feuille étant munie d'une bride derrière laquelle la paume peut être engagée et d'un trou ou d'un passant allongé destiné à recevoir le pouce.French Patent No. 1,461,667 describes a hand guard comprising a flat sheet capable of covering widely the palm and base of the fingers of one hand, this sheet being provided with a strap behind which the palm can be engaged and an elongated hole or passer intended to receive the thumb.
Ce protège-main a pour inconvénient de ne pas assurer un parfait maintien du coquillage, de sorte que le risque de glissement de ce dernier, et donc de blessure, n'est pas parfaitement éliminé. De plus, ce protège-main présente une structure complexe, nécessitant l'assemblage de plusieurs pièces, ce qui grèverait très notablement son prix de revient si il était exploité, jusqu'à rendre ce prix inacceptable pour des articles de ce genre.This hand guard has the disadvantage of not ensure perfect retention of the shell, so that the risk of slipping of the latter, and therefore of injury, is not perfectly eliminated. In addition, this hand guard has a complex structure, requiring assembly of several rooms, which would very significantly strain his cost price if it was operated, until making this unacceptable price for items like this.
L'invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients essentiels.The invention aims to remedy these drawbacks essentials.
Le protège-main qu'elle concerne comprend, de manière connue en soi, une plaque ou feuille de matériau souple ou semi-souple, notamment en caoutchouc. The hand guard it relates to includes, in known manner, a plate or sheet of material flexible or semi-flexible, especially of rubber.
Selon l'invention, cette plaque présente au moins deux fentes qui la traversent, dont deux sont perpendiculaires l'une à l'autre.According to the invention, this plate has at least two slits running through it, two of which are perpendicular to each other.
Ces fentes permettent à la plaque de prendre une forme sensiblement concave lorsque cette plaque est placée dans la paume de la main et que la main est partiellement fermée pour saisir le coquillage, et délimitent des languettes qui se recourbent lorsqu'un coquillage est appuyé contre la plaque, au niveau de ces fentes. Ces languettes permettent d'assurer une parfaite immobilisation du coquillage, évitant tout risque d'échappement de ce dernier et, par conséquent, tout dérapage du couteau qui est utilisé pour ouvrir ce coquillage.These slots allow the plate to take a substantially concave shape when this plate is placed in the palm of the hand and that the hand is partially closed to grab the shell, and delimit bending tabs when a shell is pressed against the plate, at the level of these slots. These tabs ensure perfect immobilization of the shell, avoiding any risk exhaust of the latter and, therefore, everything skid the knife which is used to open this shell.
Le protège-main selon l'invention est simple, rapide et peu onéreux à fabriquer, de sorte que son prix de revient reste tout-à-fait adapté à des articles de ce genre.The hand guard according to the invention is simple, quick and inexpensive to manufacture, so its price of cost remains entirely suitable for articles of this kind.
De préférence, la plaque présente une forme carrée. Elle peut ainsi être découpée sans chutes dans une plaque de matériau de grandes dimensions, cette découpe pouvant être automatisée et réalisée simultanément à l'aménagement des fentes précitées.Preferably, the plate has a shape square. It can thus be cut without falling into a large material plate, this cutout can be automated and performed simultaneously with the arrangement of the above-mentioned slots.
La plaque peut alors comprendre, selon une forme de réalisation préférée, deux fentes perpendiculaires, aménagées chacune parallèlement à l'un des bords de la plaque, ces deux fentes se croisant sensiblement au milieu de cette plaque.The plate can then include, in a form of preferred embodiment, two perpendicular slots, each arranged parallel to one of the edges of the plate, these two slots intersecting substantially in the middle of this plate.
Pour sa bonne compréhension, l'invention est à
nouveau décrite ci-dessous en référence au dessin
schématique annexé représentant, à titre d'exemple non
limitatif, une forme de réalisation préférée du protège-main
qu'elle concerne.
Les figures représentent, sous différents angles,
un protège-main 2 utilisable lors de l'ouverture d'huítres
ou de coquillages similaires.The figures represent, from different angles,
a
Ce protège-main 2 est constitué par une plaque 3
de matériau souple ou semi-souple, notamment de
caoutchouc.This
Cette plaque 3 est de forme carrée et présente
deux fentes 4 qui la traversent, aménagées
perpendiculairement l'une à l'autre et, aménagées, pour
chacune d'elles, parallèlement à l'un des bords de la
plaque 3, ces deux fentes 4 se croisant sensiblement au
centre de cette plaque 3.This
Ainsi que le montrent les figures 2 et 3, ces
fentes 4 permettent à la plaque 3 de prendre une forme
sensiblement concave lorsqu'elle est placée dans la paume
d'une main et que cette main est partiellement fermée pour
saisir le coquillage. Ces fentes 4 délimitent des
languettes 5 qui se recourbent lorsqu'un coquillage est
appuyé contre la plaque 3, en regard de ces fentes 4, ces
languettes 5 permettant ainsi de délimiter un logement
propre à parfaitement immobiliser le coquillage, et à
éviter tout risque d'échappement de celui-ci.As shown in Figures 2 and 3, these
slots 4 allow the
Il va de soi que l'invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation décrite ci-dessus à titre d'exemple mais qu'elle en embrasse, au contraire, toutes les variantes de réalisation. Ainsi, la plaque pourrait comprendre plus de deux fentes, si cela s'avérait nécessaire pour un parfait maintien du coquillage, et d'autres matériaux que le caoutchouc peuvent être envisagés, l'essentiel étant l'obtention d'une bonne protection contre tout risque de transpercer cette plaque avec un couteau.It goes without saying that the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above as example but that it embraces, on the contrary, all variant embodiments. So the plate could include more than two slots, if this turns out necessary for perfect support of the shell, and materials other than rubber can be considered, the main thing being obtaining a good protection against any risk of piercing this plate with a knife.
