Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein stapelbares Besteckteil mit einem Griff mit einer Wandung und einem an den Griff angeformten Funktionselement, gemäss dem Oberbegriff des unabhängigen Patentanspruchs.The invention relates to a stackable cutlery with a handle with a wall and a molded-on the handle functional element, according to the preamble of the independent claim.
Bestecke aus Kunststoff, insbesondere Messer, Löffel und Gabeln, sind weit verbreitet, sei es als Wegwerfbestecke für eine einmalige Verwendung oder an Orten, an welchen Kunststoffbestecke aus Gewichts- oder Sicherheitsgründen gegenüber Bestecken aus Metall bevorzugt werden, beispielsweise in Flugzeugen. Da aus Kosten- und Gewichtsgründen die Besteckteile relativ dünnwandig gefertigt werden, wird eine ausreichende Stabilität durch eine entsprechende Formgebung erreicht. Üblich sind beispielsweise Griffe mit T-, H-, S- oder U-förmigem Querschnitt. -Plastic cutlery, especially knives, spoons and forks, are widely used, whether as disposable cutlery for a single use or in places where plastic cutlery is preferred to metal cutlery for weight or safety reasons, such as in airplanes. Since cost and weight reasons the cutlery parts are made relatively thin-walled, sufficient stability is achieved by a corresponding shape. Usual, for example, handles with T, H, S or U-shaped cross-section. -
Es kann erwünscht sein, mehrere Besteckelemente zu stapeln, beispielsweise zum einfacheren Erstellen von Verpackungseinheiten, oder zur Platz sparenden Lagerung, insbesondere von Besteckteilen für eine mehrfache Verwendung.
Der Stand der Technik enthält verschiedene Lösungen für die Ausgestaltung stapelbarer Besteckteile mit U-förmigen Querschnitt.
EP 0'129'495 A2 zeigt beispielsweise stapelbare Besteckteile in Form von Löffel, Messer und Gabel, deren Griff einen im wesentlichen U-förmigen Querschnitt aufweisen. Der Griff ist so ausgestaltet, dass die konvexe Seite eines Griffs formschlüssig in der konkaven Seite eines weiteren identischen Griffes angeordnet werden kann. Eine Mehrzahl von Besteckteilen lässt sich so stapeln. Die Formgebung der Besteckteile und die erreichbare Stapeldichte ist dabei aufgrund der U-förmigen Formgebung des Griffs eingeschränkt. Zudem können sich die einzelnen Besteckteile aufgrund der Keilform der Griffe verklemmen.
EP 1'514'497 A1 zeigt stapelbare Besteckteile mit U-förmigen Querschnitt, bei welchen auf der konkaven Seite des Griffs angebrachte Vorsprünge in auf der konvexen Seite eines identischen Griffs angebrachte Vertiefungen eingerastet werden können. Eine grössere Anzahl identischer Besteckteile kann so nach der Herstellung formschlüssig zu einer Verpackungseinheit verbunden werden. Der Benutzer muss jeweils ein Besteckteil von der Verpackungseinheit durch Krafteinwirkung irreversibel wegbrechen, womit diese Lösung für wiederverwendbare Besteckteile prinzipiell nicht geeignet ist.
Ein stapelbares Besteckteil nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist bekannt aus
The prior art includes various solutions for the design of stackable cutlery with U-shaped cross-section.
EP 0'129'495 A2 shows, for example, stackable cutlery in the form of spoon, knife and fork, whose handle has a substantially U-shaped cross-section. The handle is designed so that the convex side of a handle can be arranged positively in the concave side of another identical handle. A plurality of cutlery pieces can be stacked in this way. The shape of the cutlery and the achievable stack density is limited due to the U-shaped design of the handle. In addition, the individual pieces of cutlery may jam due to the wedge shape of the handles.
EP 1'514'497 A1 shows stackable cutlery parts with a U-shaped cross section, in which projections mounted on the concave side of the handle engage in recesses mounted on the convex side of an identical handle can be. A larger number of identical cutlery pieces can thus be connected in a form-fitting manner to a packaging unit after production. In each case, the user must irreversibly break away a piece of cutlery from the packaging unit by applying force, with the result that this solution is in principle not suitable for reusable cutlery pieces.
A stackable cutlery according to the preamble of
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, stapelbare Besteckteile der eingangs erwähnten Art zur Verfügung zu stellen, welches die oben erwähnten und andere Nachteile nicht aufweist, und insbesondere eine hohe Stapeldichte bei gleichzeitigem minimalem Materialverbrauch erlaubt.
Diese und andere Aufgaben werden gelöst durch ein erfindungsgemässes Besteckteil gemäss dem unabhängigen Anspruch. Weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsformen sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen gegeben.The object of the invention is to provide stackable cutlery of the type mentioned above, which does not have the above-mentioned and other disadvantages, and in particular allows a high stack density while minimizing material consumption.
These and other objects are achieved by an inventive cutlery according to the independent claim. Further preferred embodiments are given in the dependent claims.
Ein erfindungsgemässes Besteckteil besteht aus einem Griff und einem daran angeformten Funktionselement, welches die Verwendung des Besteckteils definiert. Die üblichsten Besteckteile sind natürlich Löffel, Gabel und Messer.
Um eine grösstmögliche Stabilität zu erreichen, ist der Griff des erfindungsgemässen Besteckteils als Wandung mit auf beiden Seiten randständig daran angeordneten Längsrippen ausgestaltet, so dass sich ein im wesentlichen H-förmiger Querschnitt ergibt. Zur zusätzlichen Stabilisierung ist am dem Funktionselement entgegengesetzten Längsende des Griffs auf beiden Seiten der Wandung eine endständige Rippe angeordnet.
Die endständige Rippe und die zwei Längsrippen auf den beiden Seiten sind so ausgestaltet, dass beim Stapeln der erfindungsgemässen Besteckteile die endständige Rippe und die Längsrippen der ersten Seite eines Besteckteils formschlüssig in die endständige Rippe und die Längsrippen der zweiten Seite des in Stapelrichtung daran anschliessenden weiteren Besteckteifs eingreifen.A piece of cutlery according to the invention consists of a handle and a functional element molded onto it, which defines the use of the cutlery piece. Of course, the most common cutlery items are spoons, forks and knives.
In order to achieve the greatest possible stability, the handle of the cutlery part according to the invention is designed as a wall with longitudinal ribs arranged peripherally on both sides, so that a substantially H-shaped cross-section results. For additional stabilization on the functional element opposite longitudinal end of the handle on both sides of the wall, a terminal rib is arranged.
The terminal rib and the two longitudinal ribs on the two sides are designed so that when stacking the cutlery according to the invention the terminal rib and the longitudinal ribs of the first side of a cutlery form fit into the terminal rib and the longitudinal ribs of the second side of the subsequent cutlery in the stacking direction intervention.
Die endständige Rippe und die Längsrippen des Griffs eines erfindungsgemässen Besteckteils sind so ausgestaltet, dass die Rippen auf der ersten Seite der Wandung bzw. des Griffs auf der Aussenkante, also auf der der Wandung abgewandten Kante der Rippen, eine erste Abschrägung aufweisen. Auf der zweiten Seite der Wandung bzw. des Griffs weisen die endständige Rippe und die Längsrippen auf einer der Wandung zugewandten Innenkante eine zweite Abschrägung auf. Dies erleichtert die automatische Zentrierung der einzelnen efindungsgemässen Besteckteile beim Stapeln. Die Anforderungen an die notwendige Präzision der Fertigung der erfindungsgemässen Besteckteile sind zudem mit solch einer Lösung geringer, was aus Kostengründen vorteilhaft ist.
In einer noch Bei dem vorteilhafteren Ausgestaltungsform eines erfindungsgemässen Besteckteil ist der Neigungswinkel der zweiten Anschrägung gegenüber der Ebene der Wandung kleiner als der Neigungswinkel der ersten Anschrägung gegenüber der Ebene der Wandung. Dies hat den vorteilhaften Effekt, dass die Berührungspunkte von aufeinander gestapelten erfindungsgemässen Besteckteilen sich auf die Aussenkante der Rippen der ersten Seite beschränkt. Die einzelnen Teile lassen sich so leichter voneinander lösen, und die Gefahr des Verklemmen ist noch geringer.The terminal rib and the longitudinal ribs of the handle of a cutlery part according to the invention are designed such that the ribs on the first side of the wall or the handle on the outer edge, ie on the edge of the ribs facing away from the wall, have a first bevel. On the second Side of the wall or the handle, the terminal rib and the longitudinal ribs on a wall facing the inner edge of a second bevel. This facilitates the automatic centering of the individual pieces of cutlery according to the invention during stacking. The requirements for the necessary precision of the production of the cutlery pieces according to the invention are also lower with such a solution, which is advantageous for cost reasons.
In an even more advantageous embodiment of a piece of cutlery according to the invention, the angle of inclination of the second bevel with respect to the plane of the wall is smaller than the angle of inclination of the first bevel with respect to the plane of the wall. This has the advantageous effect that the points of contact of pieces of cutlery according to the invention stacked on one another are limited to the outer edge of the ribs of the first side. The individual parts can be more easily separated from each other, and the risk of jamming is even lower.
Im folgenden wird das erfindungsgemässe Besteckteil anhand von Zeichnungen erläutert.
