Abstract

The invention concerns a plate designed for eating long pasta, consisting of a base (10) and a rim (14) and provided with a cavity (16) for coiling therein a mouthful of pasta. The round-shaped cavity (16) with a diameter substantially corresponding to that of a tablespoon, is arranged in the centre of the plate and raised relative to its base. It is arranged at the top of a protuberance (18) having roughly a tubular profile whereof the diameter decreases according to its height and linked to the base (10), whereof it forms an integral part, through a rounded portion (22). The edge of the cavity (16) is at a lower level than that of the periphery of the plate rim (14).

Description

ASSIETTE POUR LA CONSOMMATION DE PATES LONGUES PLATE FOR THE CONSUMPTION OF LONG PASTA
La présente invention concerne une assiette destinée à la consommation de pâtes longues, telles que les spaghetti.The present invention relates to a plate intended for the consumption of long pasta, such as spaghetti.
La consommation des pâtes longues n'est pas chose aisée pour tous. La solution de facilité, considérée par certains comme un véritable sacrilège, est de les couper puis de les manger à la cuillère.The consumption of long pasta is not easy for all. The easy way out, considered by some to be a true sacrilege, is to cut them and then eat them with a spoon.
Ceux qui préfèrent adopter un comportement plus orthodoxe utilisent une fourchette à l'aide de laquelle ils enroulent une bouchée de spaghetti directement dans l'assiette. Cette technique n'étant pas immédiatement à la portée de tous, il est courant, mais relativement peu élégant, d'effectuer l'enroulement dans une cuillère.Those who prefer to adopt a more orthodox behavior use a fork with the help of which they wrap a bite of spaghetti directly on the plate. This technique is not immediately accessible to all, it is common, but relatively unattractive, to perform the winding in a spoon.
Afin de faciliter l'enroulement des spaghetti autour de la fourchette sans pour autant recourir à une cuillère, le brevet FR 2 561 093 propose une assiette dotée sur son col, donc latéralement, d'une cavité remplaçant la cuillère. La solution est, certes, intéressante, mais elle présente l'inconvénient, vu l'excentrement de la cavité, de rendre difficile l'empilement des assiettes et de laisser peu de choix au consommateur quant à l'endroit d'où il peut prélever ses pâtes. Par ailleurs, l'esthétique d'une telle assiette n'est pas idéale.In order to facilitate the wrapping of spaghetti around the fork without having to use a spoon, patent FR 2,561,093 proposes a plate provided on its neck, therefore laterally, with a cavity replacing the spoon. The solution is certainly interesting, but it has the drawback, given the eccentricity of the cavity, of making it difficult to stack plates and to leave little choice to the consumer as to where he can collect his pasta. Furthermore, the aesthetics of such a plate is not ideal.
La présente invention a pour but de fournir une assiette qui est également dotée d'une cavité mais qui ne souffre d'aucun des inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus.The present invention aims to provide a plate which is also provided with a cavity but which does not suffer from any of the drawbacks mentioned above.
Pour atteindre ce but, l'assiette selon l'invention, qui est constituée d'un fond et d'un rebord et comporte une cavité servant à y enrouler une bouchée de pâtes, est caractérisée en ce que cette cavité est ménagée en son centre, surélevée par rapport à son fond, disposée au sommet d'une proéminence de celui-ci et a une forme arrondie, avec un diamètre correspondant sensiblement à celui d'une cuillère à soupe. L'assiette selon l'invention présente encore les caractéristiques suivantes:To achieve this object, the plate according to the invention, which consists of a bottom and a rim and includes a cavity used to wrap a bite of pasta therein, is characterized in that this cavity is formed in its center , raised relative to its bottom, disposed at the top of a prominence thereof and has a rounded shape, with a diameter corresponding substantially to that of a tablespoon. The plate according to the invention also has the following characteristics:
- la proéminence du fond de l'assiette a, grossièrement, un profil tubulaire dont le diamètre décroît en fonction de sa hauteur et dont la base rejoint le fond par une portion arrondie; - la proéminence fait partie intégrante du fond et dégage sous celui-ci un espace vide;- The prominence of the bottom of the plate has, roughly, a tubular profile whose diameter decreases as a function of its height and whose base joins the bottom by a rounded portion; - prominence is an integral part of the background and gives off an empty space beneath it;
- le bord de la cavité se trouve à un niveau inférieur à celui de la périphérie du rebord de l'assiette;- The edge of the cavity is at a level lower than that of the periphery of the edge of the plate;
- l'assiette est réalisée en un matériau translucide ou transparent. D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de la présente invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre, donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif et faite en regard de la figure unique annexée qui est une vue en coupe l'assiette.- the plate is made of a translucent or transparent material. Other characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the description which follows, given by way of nonlimiting example and made with reference to the single appended figure which is a view in section of the plate.
La figure montre une assiette ronde et creuse comportant un fond 10 doté d'une nervure circulaire 12 qui constitue son pied et un rebord 14. Elle peut être en tout matériau habituellement utilisé pour réaliser des ustensiles de vaisselle: porcelaine, faïence ou matière synthétique telle que celle connue sous la marque Arcopa/.The figure shows a round and deep plate with a bottom 10 provided with a circular rib 12 which constitutes its base and a rim 14. It can be of any material usually used for making tableware utensils: porcelain, earthenware or synthetic material such as than that known under the brand Arcopa /.
L'assiette est dotée, en son centre, d'une cavité arrondie 16, surélevée par rapport au fond 10 et ayant avantageusement un diamètre d'environ 40mm, ce qui correspond sensiblement à celui d'une cuillère à soupe. Sa profondeur est, typiquement, d'environ 20mm.The plate is provided, in its center, with a rounded cavity 16, raised relative to the bottom 10 and advantageously having a diameter of about 40mm, which corresponds substantially to that of a tablespoon. Its depth is typically about 20mm.
Le bord de la cavité 16 se trouve à un niveau inférieur à celui de la périphérie du rebord 14. Typiquement, l'assiette ayant une hauteur de 60mm, le bord de la cavité est à 40mm du fond et donc à 20mm de la périphérie du rebord. La cavité 16 forme le sommet d'une proéminence 18 du fond 10, faisant partie intégrante de celui-ci et dégageant ainsi sous lui un espace vide 20. Cette proéminence a, grossièrement, un profil tubulaire dont le diamètre décroît en fonction de sa hauteur et dont la base rejoint le fond 10 par une portion arrondie 22. On voit ainsi que l'assiette selon l'invention, telle qu'elle vient d'être décrite, permet au consommateur, grâce à la présence de la cavité 16, non seulement, du fait qu'elle est surélevée, d'y amener très aisément, à l'aide d'une fourchette, une bouchée de pâtes pour les y enrouler, mais aussi, du fait de sa position centrale, d'extraire cette bouchée indifféremment de n'importe quel endroit de l'assiette. Cette extraction est, par ailleurs, largement facilitée par le profil de la proéminence 18 au sommet de laquelle se trouve la cavité 16.The edge of the cavity 16 is at a level lower than that of the periphery of the rim 14. Typically, the plate having a height of 60mm, the edge of the cavity is 40mm from the bottom and therefore 20mm from the periphery of the flange. The cavity 16 forms the apex of a prominence 18 of the bottom 10, forming an integral part thereof and thus freeing up an empty space under it 20. This prominence has, roughly, a tubular profile whose diameter decreases as a function of its height and whose base joins the bottom 10 by a rounded portion 22. It is thus seen that the plate according to the invention, as just described, allows the consumer, thanks to the presence of the cavity 16, not only, because it is raised, to bring there very easily, using a fork, a bite of pasta to roll them up, but also, because of its central position, to extract this bite indifferently from anywhere on the plate. This extraction is, moreover, greatly facilitated by the profile of the protrusion 18 at the top of which is the cavity 16.
De plus, la position centrale de la cavité 16 et la présence de l'espace vide 20 sous la proéminence 18 permettent, non seulement, que plusieurs assiettes soient empilées sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'en ajuster la position, mais aussi de réduire sensiblement la hauteur de la pile d'assiettes puisque la partie supérieure de la proéminence 18 de l'assiette inférieure trouve sa place dans l'espace vide 20 de l'assiette supérieure. Bien que la présente description ait été faite en se référant à la consommation des pâtes longues, il est aisé d'imaginer que l'assiette selon l'invention peut aussi être utilisée pour servir d'autres mets, la cavité centrale recevant alors une sauce, un œuf, un fruitIn addition, the central position of the cavity 16 and the presence of the empty space 20 under the protrusion 18 not only allow several plates to be stacked without the need to adjust the position, but also to reduce substantially the height of the stack of plates since the upper part of the protrusion 18 of the lower plate finds its place in the empty space 20 of the upper plate. Although the present description has been made with reference to the consumption of long pasta, it is easy to imagine that the plate according to the invention can also be used to serve other dishes, the central cavity then receiving a sauce , an egg, a fruit
Il faut aussi remarquer que, dans le cas d'une assiette réalisée en un matériau translucide ou transparent, l'espace central vide 20 est l'endroit idéal pour loger une bougie qui éclaire l'ensemble et le maintient au chaud pendant le repas. It should also be noted that, in the case of a plate made of a translucent or transparent material, the empty central space 20 is the ideal place to house a candle which lights the whole and keeps it warm during the meal.
