Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Schneidwerkzeug, nämlich ein Messer, mit einem Klingenkörper und einem daran angeordneten Griffstück.The invention relates to a cutting tool, namely a knife, with a blade body and a handle disposed thereon.

Schneidwerkzeuge der vorgenannten Art sind aus dem Stand der Technik an sich bekannt, weshalb es eines gesonderten druckschriftlichen Nachweises an dieser Stelle nicht bedarf.Cutting tools of the aforementioned type are known from the prior art, which is why it does not require a separate documentary proof at this point.

In aller Regel tragen Schneidwerkzeuge ein Informationsschild, welches herstellerseitig ausgebildet und am Schneidwerkzeug angebracht wird. Es soll dem späteren Verwender beispielsweise darüber Auskunft geben, wer der Hersteller des Schneidwerkzeuges ist, welche genaue Bezeichnung das Schneidwerkzeug trägt, aus welchem Material der Klingenkörper und/oder das Griffstück besteht, ob das Schneidwerkzeug spülmaschinengeeignet ist oder dergleichen.As a rule, cutting tools carry an information label, which is manufactured by the manufacturer and attached to the cutting tool. It should give the future user for example, information about who the manufacturer of the cutting tool is, what exact name the cutting tool, from which material the blade body and / or the handle consists, whether the cutting tool is dishwasher safe or the like.

Die aus dem Stand der Technik vorbekannten Informationsschilde sind in Form einer Ätzung auf einer Seite oder auf beiden Seiten des Klingenkörpers des Schneidwerkzeuges aufgebracht. Durch Scheuerbeanspruchung im Laufe von Reinigungszyklen eines Schneidwerkzeuges wird die Ätzung allerdings in nachteiliger Weise unleserlich oder verschwindet ganz. Eine Zuordnung zu Schneidwerkzeugtyp, Hersteller des Schneidwerkzeuges oder dergleichen ist dann nicht mehr möglich. Ein Informationsschild kann auch als Aufkleber mit zumeist selbstklebender Rückseite ausgebildet sein und wird herstellerseitig am Klingenkörper befestigt. Auch hierdurch ergeben sich eine Reihe von Nachteilen. Zum einen ist das als Aufkleber ausgebildete Informationsschild nicht dauerhaft mit dem Klingenkörper des Schneidwerkzeuges verbunden. Es kann sich auch bei einem bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch des Schneidwerkzeuges vielmehr vom Klingenkörper ablösen. Die mit dem Informationsschild zu vermittelnden Informationen gehen dann zu Ungunsten des Verbrauchers verloren. Von Nachteil ist darüber hinaus, daß der zur Anordnung des Informationsschildes am Klingenkörper eingesetzte Klebstoff das Material des Klingenkörpers angreifen kann, was zu unerwünschten, weil unansehnlichen Verfärbungen des Klingenkörpermaterials führen kann.The previously known from the prior art information labels are applied in the form of an etch on one side or on both sides of the blade body of the cutting tool. By abrasion during cleaning cycles of a cutting tool, however, the etching is disadvantageously illegible or disappears completely. An assignment to Schneidwerkzeugtyp, manufacturer of the cutting tool or the like is then no longer possible. An information plate can also be designed as a sticker with mostly self-adhesive back and is the manufacturer on the Attached blade body. This also results in a number of disadvantages. On the one hand, the information label designed as a sticker is not permanently connected to the blade body of the cutting tool. It may also detach from the blade body even with a proper use of the cutting tool. The information to be conveyed with the information sign will then be lost to the disadvantage of the consumer. Another disadvantage is that the adhesive used for the arrangement of the information plate on the blade body can attack the material of the blade body, which can lead to undesirable, because unsightly discoloration of the blade body material.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, die vorerläuterten Nachteile zu vermeiden.It is the object of the invention to avoid the disadvantages explained above.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird mit der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, daß der Klingenkörper ein Informationsschild in Form einer Gravur trägt.To solve this problem is proposed with the invention that the blade body carries an information sign in the form of an engraving.

Anders als ein herkömmliches, als Aufkleber oder als Ätzung ausgebildetes Informationsschild ist das nach der Erfindung in Form einer Gravur ausgebildete Informationsschild bei einer bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung des Schneidwerkzeuges unauslöschlich am Klingenkörper des Schneidwerkzeuges angeordnet. Ein ungewolltes Ablösen des Informationsschildes ist deshalb sicher unterbunden. Auch nach Jahren einer bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung des Schneidwerkzeuges sind die mit dem Informationsschild vermittelten Informationen für den Verwender einsehbar.Unlike a conventional, designed as a sticker or as etching information sign formed according to the invention in the form of an engraved information sign is placed indelibly on the blade body of the cutting tool in a proper use of the cutting tool. Unintentional detachment of the information plate is therefore safely prevented. Even after years of proper use of the cutting tool, the information provided by the information plate can be viewed by the user.

Das Informationsschild beinhaltet zumindest die Information darüber, wer Hersteller des Schneidwerkzeuges ist. Damit wird dem Verwender des Schneidwerkzeuges die Möglichkeit gegeben, den Hersteller desselben jederzeit eindeutig identifizieren zu können, was insofern von Vorteil ist, als daß sich der Verwender im Falle etwaiger Produktfragen direkt an den Hersteller wenden kann.The information plate contains at least the information about who is the manufacturer of the cutting tool. This gives the user of the cutting tool the opportunity to identify the manufacturer of the same at any time clearly, which is advantageous in that the user can turn in the case of any product issues directly to the manufacturer.

Darüber hinaus kann das Informationsschild natürlich auch weitere Informationen für den Verwender bereitstellen, wie zum Beispiel Verwendungsempfehlungen, Gebrauchshinweise oder dergleichen. Auch Materialangaben, nähere Bezeichnungen oder dergleichen können Bestandteil des Informationsschildes sein. Dem Anwendungsspektrum sind insoweit keine Grenzen gesetzt.In addition, of course, the information sign may also provide further information to the user, such as usage recommendations, usage instructions, or the like. Also material details, closer Designations or the like may be part of the information plate. There are no limits to the range of applications.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltungsform der Erfindung trägt der Kropf des Klingenkörpers das Informationsschild. Eine funktionsgerechte Verwendung des Schneidwerkzeuges wird durch die Anordnung des Informationsschildes am Kropf des Klingenkörpers nicht beeinflußt.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the crop of the blade body carries the information label. A functional use of the cutting tool is not affected by the arrangement of the information plate on the crop of the blade body.

Weiters trägt der Kropf des Klingenkörpers das Informationsschild oberseitig. In diesem Fall dient das in Form einer Gravur ausgebildete Informationsschild zudem als Daumenrutschsicherung, das heißt es bildet eine Rutschhemmung aus. Zu diesem Zweck ist die Gravurprofilierung, das heißt das Gravurlayout des Informationsschildes entsprechend auszubilden.Furthermore, the crop of the blade body carries the information label on the top. In this case, the formed in the form of an engraving information plate also serves as a thumb slide protection, that is, it forms a slip resistance. For this purpose, the engraving profiling, that is, the engraving layout of the information plate to train accordingly.

Das Informationsschild wird vorzugsweise mittels Lasergravur ausgebildet. Eine solche Ausbildung eignet sich insbesondere dann, wenn die Schneide des Schneidwerkzeuges mittels Laser endfertig bearbeitet wird. Entscheidend ist, daß das Informationsschild nicht - wie bisher aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt - als Aufkleber oder als Ätzung, sondern als bei einer bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung des Schneidwerkzeuges unauslöschliches Informationsschild ausgebildet ist.The information plate is preferably formed by laser engraving. Such a design is particularly useful when the cutting edge of the cutting tool is finished by laser finished. It is crucial that the information plate is not - as previously known from the prior art - is designed as a sticker or as etching, but as in an intended use of the cutting tool indelible information plate.

Fig. 1 zeigt das erfindungsgemäße Schneidwerkzeug 1 in einer Seitenansicht. Das Schneidwerkzeug verfügt über einen Klingenkörper 2 sowie über ein daran angeordnetes.Griffstück 6. In der hier dargestellten Ausführungsform besteht der Klingenkörper 2 aus einem nicht rostenden Material, wie zum Beispiel Edelstahl, wohingegen das Griffstück 6 aus Kunststoff gebildet ist. Das Griffstück 6 wird von einem Erl 5 getragen, der zusammen mit dem Kropf 4 und der Klinge 3 den Klingenkörper 2 ausbildet. Die Erfindung ist allerdings nicht auf eine solche Ausgestaltung beschränkt. Vielmehr umfaßt die Erfindung auch solche Schneidwerkzeuge, deren Klingenkörper 2 und Griffstück 6 einstückig ausgebildet sind. Fig. 1 shows the cutting tool 1 according to the invention in a side view. The cutting tool has a blade body 2 and a gripping piece 6 arranged thereon. In the embodiment shown here, the blade body 2 consists of a non-rusting material, such as, for example, stainless steel. whereas the handle 6 is formed of plastic. The handle 6 is supported by a tang 5, which forms the blade body 2 together with the bolster 4 and the blade 3. However, the invention is not limited to such a configuration. Rather, the invention also includes such cutting tools whose blade body 2 and handle 6 are integrally formed.

Der Klingenkörper 2 besteht in der Ausführungsform nach den Fign. 1 und 2 aus einer Klinge 3, einem Kropf 4 und einem Erl 5, wobei der Kropf 4 den Übergangsbereich zwischen Klinge 3 und Griffstück 6 darstellt, wie insbesondere Fig. 2 entnommen werden kann.The blade body 2 is in the embodiment of the FIGS. 1 and 2 from a blade 3, a bolster 4 and a tang 5, wherein the bolster 4 represents the transition region between blade 3 and handle 6, in particular Fig. 2 can be removed.

Die Klinge 3 weist in an sich bekannter Weise einen Schneidenbereich 7 auf, der einendseitig in eine Schneide, die sogenannte Wate 8 mündet.The blade 3 has, in a manner known per se, a cutting region 7 which terminates at one end in a cutting edge, the so-called Wate 8.

Erfindungsgemäß trägt das in den Fign. 1 und 2 dargestellte Schneidwerkzeug ein Informationsschild 9 in Form einer Gravur. Diese ist, wie insbesondere Fig. 2 zu entnehmen ist, oberseitig am Kropf 4 ausgebildet. Diese Ausgestaltungsform hat den Vorteil, daß die als Informationsschild 9 dienende Gravur zugleich auch als Daumenrutschsicherung dient und im Gegensatz zu einer Beschriftung auf der einen oder anderen Seite des Klingenkörpers 2 beim bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch bequem und auf einfache Weise von oben zu erkennen ist.According to the invention contributes in the FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrated cutting tool an information plate 9 in the form of an engraving. This is how, in particular Fig. 2 can be seen, formed on the top of the crop 4. This embodiment has the advantage that serving as an information plate 9 engraving also serves as a thumb slide protection and unlike a label on one or the other side of the blade body 2 when used properly and easily seen from above.

Bevorzugterweise ist das Informationsschild 9 mittels Lasergravur ausgebildet. Andere Ausgestaltungsformen sind hier aber gleichfalls denkbar und vom Umfang der Erfindung miterfaßt.Preferably, the information plate 9 is formed by laser engraving. Other embodiments are also conceivable here and included in the scope of the invention.
