Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Schutz der Hand bei der Verwendung von Schneidwerkzeugen mit einer Klinge, insbesondere bei der Verwendung von Messern zum Aufschneiden von Lebensmitteln.The invention relates to a device for protecting the hand when using cutting tools with a blade, in particular when using knives for slicing food.

Beim Aufschneiden von Lebensmitteln wie Brötchen, Fruchtkörpern, Eiern usw. besteht eine große Verletzungsgefahr, wenn das jeweilige Lebensmittel mit der einen Hand gehalten und mit der anderen Hand das Messer unter Durchführung einer Schneidbewegung durch das Lebensmittel bewegt wird. Diese Unfallgefahr erhöht sich noch bei Personen, die diesen Vorgang des Schneidens noch nicht beherrschen, z. B. Kinder, oder die aufgrund von Alter oder Krankheit diesen Vorgang nicht mehr sicher beherrschen.When cutting food such as bread rolls, fruiting bodies, eggs, etc., there is a great risk of injury when the respective food is held with one hand and with the other hand, the knife is moved through a cutting motion through the food. This risk of accidents increases even more in people who do not dominate this process of cutting, z. As children, or because of age or illness this process is no longer safe control.

Eine Alternative besteht darin, das Lebensmittel zwischen der Handfläche und einer Unterlage zu fixieren und das Messer dann möglichst parallel zur Handfläche und zur Unterlage durch das Lebensmittel zu führen. Dabei kann das Lebensmittel zum einen wegrutschen und zum anderen ist das Lebensmittel durch die Handfläche verdeckt, so dass das Schneiden nicht in jeder Phase sichtbar bleibt. Oft fehlt es auch an einer geeigneten möglichst ebenen Unterlage.An alternative is to fix the food between the palm of the hand and a pad and then to guide the knife as parallel as possible to the palm and the pad through the food. The food can slip away on the one hand and on the other hand, the food is covered by the palm, so that the cutting is not visible in every phase. Often it is also missing on a suitable as level as possible pad.

Aus der DE 73 34 247 U1 ist ein Eieröffner-Gerät mit einem Eiermesser bekannt, mit dem rohe Eier aufgepickt, weich gekochte Eier geköpft und hart gekochte Eier durchgeschnitten werden können.From the DE 73 34 247 U1 is an egg-opener with an egg knife known, with the raw eggs picked, soft-boiled eggs beheaded and hard boiled eggs can be cut.

Dabei kommt ein Messer zum Einsatz, dass ausschließlich längsverschiebbar in Führungsschienen eines Rahmens angeordnet ist, wobei der Rahmen in Richtung Längsverschiebung eine Eierdurchstecköffnung aufweist, so dass das Messer bei seiner Längsbewegung das Ei durchtrennt. Durch das bogenförmige Messer wird neben dem Durchpressen des Messers durch das Ei ein gewisser Schneideffekt erzielt, der jedoch für Brötchen oder auch Früchte nicht ausreichend ist, um diese ohne Formverlust aufzuschneiden. Das Ei muss ferner mit einer Hand in der Eierdurchstecköffnung gehalten werden, was mit den Fingern erfolgt, so dass die Fingerkuppen Gefahr laufen, in den Schneidbereich des Messers zu gelangen. Das sind wesentliche Nachteile dieser Vorrichtung.Here, a knife is used that only longitudinally displaceable in guide rails of a frame is arranged, wherein the frame in the direction of longitudinal displacement has a Eierdurchstecköffnung so that the knife severed during its longitudinal movement of the egg. Due to the curved knife, a certain cutting effect is achieved in addition to the pressing of the knife through the egg, but this is not sufficient for rolls or even fruits to cut them without loss of shape. The egg must also be held with one hand in the Eierdurchstecköffnung, which is done with the fingers, so that the fingertips run the risk to get into the cutting area of the knife. These are significant disadvantages of this device.

Bei den Eieröffnern nach GB 2 019 714 A und FR 1 463 750 C kommen jeweils geschlitzt ausgeführte Rahmenschenkel zum Einsatz, wobei in den Schlitzen ein Messer geführt wird. Der Rahmen wird an einem Griff gehalten. Da normalerweise nur zwei Hände zur Verfügung stehen, muss das Ei in einer zusätzlichen Vorrichtung fixiert werden z.B. einem Becher.After the egg openers after GB 2 019 714 A and FR 1 463 750 C slotted executed frame legs are used, in the slots a knife is performed. The frame is held by a handle. Since usually only two hands are available, the egg must be fixed in an additional device such as a cup.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung vorzuschlagen, die die Hand, mit der das Lebensmittel gehalten wird, sicher beim Aufschneiden des Lebensmittels mit einem Messer, das durch die andere Hand gehalten und bewegt wird, zu schützen, wobei das Messer mit fließend wechselnden Abschnitten der Schneide mit dem Lebensmittel beim Schneidvorgang in Eingriff ist.The object of the invention is to propose a device which safely protects the hand with which the food is held when cutting the food with a knife which is held and moved by the other hand, the knife with flowing alternating sections the cutting edge is engaged with the food during the cutting process.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1, vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.This object is achieved with the features of claim 1, advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Schutz der Hand, mit der ein Lebensmittel beim Aufschneiden oder Durchschneiden mittels eines Messers in einem Rahmen gehalten wird, wobei das Messer im Rahmen geführt und mit der anderen Hand bewegt wird, sieht vor, dass der Rahmen in den in Schnittrichtung verlaufenden gegenüberliegenden Schenkeln je einen Längsschlitz aufweist, wobei die Schlitzbreite (b) so bemessen ist, dass ein Messer mit seiner Messerdicke (d) in beide Längsschlitze einschiebbar und hin- und herbewegbar ist und der die Schenkel verbindende Steg außen eine geschlossene Abstützfläche für die Handinnenfläche aufweist, so dass der Rahmen und das zwischen den Rahmenschenkeln befindliche Lebensmittel gleichzeitig mit einer Hand haltbar sind.The inventive device for protecting the hand, with a food when cutting or cutting held by a knife in a frame, wherein the knife is guided in the frame and moved with the other hand, provides that the frame in the running in the cutting direction opposite legs each having a longitudinal slot, wherein the slot width (b) is so dimensioned in that a knife with its knife thickness (d) can be inserted and moved back and forth into both longitudinal slots and the web connecting the legs has a closed support surface for the palm of the hand on the outside, so that the frame and the food located between the frame legs simultaneously with one hand are durable.

Der Steg schützt somit die innere Handfläche und durch die Messerführung in den Längsschlitzen sind die das Lebensmittel haltenden Finger der Hand geschützt.The bridge thus protects the inner palm and by the knife guide in the longitudinal slots, the fingers of the hand holding the food are protected.

Bevorzugt weist die geschlossene Abstützfläche eine der Form der Handinnenfläche in der Halteposition angenäherte Form auf, so dass eine gute Auflage auf der Handinnenfläche gewährleistet ist. Gegebenenfalls kann diese Abstützfläche auch noch Rauigkeiten oder eine Beschichtung aufweisen, um die Haltesicherheit weiter zu erhöhen. Die Abstützfläche kann auch als gesondert am Steg angeordnetes Formteil ausgebildet sein.Preferably, the closed support surface has a shape approximating the shape of the palm of the hand in the holding position, so that a good support on the palm of the hand is ensured. Optionally, this support surface may also have roughness or a coating in order to further increase the holding security. The support surface may also be formed as a separately arranged on the web molding.

Der Rahmen kann als einseitig offener oder auch als geschlossener Rahmen ausgebildet sein. Als Rahmenformen sind bevorzugt ovale, rechteckige oder ellipsenförmige Formen vorgesehen.The frame can be designed as a one-sided open or as a closed frame. As frame shapes, oval, rectangular or elliptical shapes are preferably provided.

Der Rahmen kann aus einem Blechabschnitt gebogen sein, oder auch ein U-Profil aufweisen.The frame may be bent from a sheet metal section, or also have a U-profile.

In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist der Steg, der die geschlitzten Schenkel handseitig verbindet U-profilförmig ausgebildet, mit der U-Öffnung in Richtung eingesetztes Messer weisend. Die Längsschlitze der Schenkel ragen dabei bevorzugt bis in das U-Profil hinein. Das hat den Vorteil, dass das Lebensmittel, das sich beim Schneiden an den Steg anlegt, durchgeschnitten werden kann.In a preferred embodiment, the web, which connects the slotted legs hand-connected U-shaped profile, pointing with the U-opening in the direction inserted knife. The longitudinal slots of the legs protrude preferably into the U-profile. This has the advantage that the food that attaches to the web during cutting can be cut through.

Bei einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist vorgesehen, dass der Steg oder ein Teil des Steges oder bei einem U-profilierten Steg deren U-Profilschenkel oder Teile davon eine schalen- oder halbschalenförmige Aufnahme für das Lebensmittel bilden. Das Halten des Lebensmittels im Rahmen wird so erleichtert.In a further advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the web or part of the web or, in the case of a U-profiled web, the U-profile limb or parts thereof form a shell-shaped or half-shell-shaped receptacle for the food. Keeping the food in the frame is thus facilitated.

Ein solcher Effekt kann auch erreicht werden, wenn auf der gleichen Seite befindliche Schenkel im Stegbereich durch nach außen gewölbte, eine Aufnahme für das Lebensmittel bildende Verbindungsstege miteinander verbunden werden. Die Verbindungsstege können dabei auf der Außenfläche Ausformungen und/oder Aufsätze aufweisen, die so angeordnet sind, dass Finger der haltenden Hand in diese Ausformungen und/oder Aufsätze eingreifen können.Such an effect can also be achieved if legs located on the same side in the web area are connected to one another by outwardly curved connecting webs forming a receptacle for the food. The connecting webs may have on the outer surface formations and / or essays, which are arranged so that fingers of the holding hand can engage in these formations and / or attachments.

Diese Ausführung mit Verbindungsstegen ist auch kombinierbar mit der schalenförmigen Stegausführung.This version with connecting webs can also be combined with the shell-shaped web design.

Um zu verhindern, dass das in den Längsschlitzen geführte Messer beim Schneiden aus einem Längsschlitz herausrutscht, sieht eine weitere Ausbildung vor, dass das zum Schneiden eingesetzte Messer im Bereich der Spitze eine Verdickung aufweist, die die Schlitzbreite (b) übersteigt.In order to prevent the knife guided in the longitudinal slots from slipping out of a longitudinal slot during cutting, a further embodiment provides that the blade used for cutting has a thickening in the area of the tip which exceeds the slot width (b).

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung soll anhand der Zeichnungen erläutert werden. Es zeigen:

Fig. 1
einen geschlossenen Rahmen in Arbeitsposition,
Fig. 2
einen einseitig offenen Rahmen und
Fig. 3
einen als Schale ausgebildeten Steg des Rahmens.
The device according to the invention will be explained with reference to the drawings. Show it:
Fig. 1
a closed frame in working position,
Fig. 2
a unilaterally open frame and
Fig. 3
a trained as a shell web of the frame.

Fig.1 zeigt einen geschlossenen ovalen Rahmen 1 in Arbeitsposition mit einem Lebensmittel 3, wobei der Rahmen 1 und das Lebensmittel im Rahmen 1 gleichzeitig durch eine Hand gehalten werden. Fig.1 shows a closed oval frame 1 in working position with a food 3, wherein the frame 1 and the food in the frame 1 are held simultaneously by one hand.

Der Rahmen 1 stützt sich dabei mit seiner äußeren Abstützfläche 9.1 in der Handinnenfläche der haltenden Hand ab.The frame 1 is supported with its outer support surface 9.1 in the palm of the holding hand.

Die in Schnittrichtung 4 verlaufenden gegenüberliegenden Schenkel 5, 6 des Rahmens 1 weisen je einen Längsschlitz 7, 8 auf, in dem das Messer 2 beim Schneiden geführt wird. Der die Schenkel 5, 6 verbindende Steg 9 weist außen die Abstützfläche 9.1 auf, die auch durch ein Formteil gebildet werden kann.The running in the cutting direction 4 opposite legs 5, 6 of the frame 1 each have a longitudinal slot 7, 8, in which the knife 2 is guided during cutting. The web connecting the legs 5, 6 9 has on the outside the support surface 9.1, which can also be formed by a molding.

Das zum Schneiden eingesetzte Messer 2 weist im Bereich der Spitze eine Verdickung 14 auf, die die Schlitzbreite (b) übersteigt und so ein Herausrutschen des Messers 2 aus dem Längsschlitz 7 verhindert.The knife 2 used for cutting has a thickening 14 in the region of the tip which exceeds the slot width (b) and thus prevents the knife 2 from slipping out of the longitudinal slot 7.

Der Längsschlitz kann bei dieser Ausführung mit einem geschlossenen Rahmen nur in den beiden Schenkeln 5, 6 oder auch in das beiden Schenkeln 5, 6 und in der dem Steg 9 gegenüberliegenden Seite ausgebildet sein. Letzteres heißt, dass der Rahmen 1 bis auf Steg 9 geschlitzt ausgebildet ist.The longitudinal slot can be formed in this embodiment with a closed frame only in the two legs 5, 6 or in the two legs 5, 6 and in the web 9 opposite side. The latter means that the frame 1 is formed slotted to web 9.

Fig. 2 zeigt einen einseitig offenen U-förmigen Rahmen 1, der aus einem Materialstreifen geformt ist und bei dem die in Schnittrichtung 4 verlaufenden gegenüberliegenden Schenkel 5, 6 je einen Längsschlitz 7, 8 aufweisen, wobei die Schlitzbreite (b) so bemessen ist, dass ein Messer 2 mit seiner Messerdicke (d) in beide Längsschlitze 7, 8 einschiebbar und hin- und herbewegbar ist und der die Schenkel 5, 6) verbindende Steg 9, der sich bei Halten und Schneiden in der Handfläche abstützt als geschlossene Abstützfläche 9.1 ausgebildet ist. Fig. 2 shows a unilaterally open U-shaped frame 1, which is formed from a strip of material and in which the running in the cutting direction 4 opposite Leg 5, 6 each have a longitudinal slot 7, 8, wherein the slot width (b) is dimensioned so that a knife 2 with its knife thickness (d) in both longitudinal slots 7, 8 can be inserted and moved back and forth and the legs of the fifth , 6) connecting web 9, which is supported in holding and cutting in the palm as a closed support surface 9.1 is formed.

Da sich beim Schneiden das Lebensmittel 3 am Steg 9 abstützen wird, ist mit dieser Ausführung ein vollständiges Durchschneiden nur dann möglich, wenn das in den Längsschlitzen 7, 8 geführte Messer 2 bis zum Steg 9 geführt werden kann.Since the food 3 is supported on the web 9 when cutting, with this embodiment, a complete cutting only possible if the guided in the longitudinal slots 7, 8 knife 2 can be performed to the web 9.

Vorteilhafter ist deshalb eine Ausführung gemäß Fig. 3, bei der zumindest der Steg 9 U-profilförmig ausgebildet ist mit der U-Öffnung in Richtung eingesetztes Messer 2 weisend und die Längsschlitze 7, 8 der Schenkel 5, 6 bis in das U-Profil hineinragend ausgebildet sind. Das Lebensmittel 3 lässt sich so bequem durchschneiden.Therefore, an embodiment is more advantageous Fig. 3 in which at least the web 9 is formed U-shaped profile with the U-opening in the direction of inserted knife 2 pointing and the longitudinal slots 7, 8 of the legs 5, 6 are formed projecting into the U-profile. The food 3 can be easily cut through.

Weiter wird gezeigt, dass die Schenkel 5, 6 im Stegbereich durch nach außen gewölbte, eine Aufnahme 10 für das Lebensmittel 3 bildende Verbindungsstege 11, 12 miteinander verbunden sind. Diese Verbindungsstege 11, 12 weisen auf der Außenfläche Ausformungen 13 und/oder Aufsätze auf, die so angeordnet sind, dass Finger der haltenden Hand in diese Ausformungen 13 eingreifen können. Das unterstützt das sichere Halten des Rahmens 1 und des Lebensmittel mit der einen Hand.It is further shown that the legs 5, 6 are connected to each other in the web area by outwardly arched, a receptacle 10 for the food 3 forming connecting webs 11, 12. These connecting webs 11, 12 have on the outer surface of formations 13 and / or essays, which are arranged so that fingers of the holding hand can engage in these formations 13. This helps to securely hold the frame 1 and the food with one hand.

Fig. 3 zeigt einen U-profilförmigen Steg 9. Bei dieser Ausführung sind die U-Profilschenkel oder Teile nach außen ausgeformt und bilden so eine schalenförmige Aufnahme 10 für das Lebensmittel 3. Dadurch wird das Halten des Lebensmittels 3 mit den Fingern der Hand erleichtert. Fig. 3 shows a U-shaped web 9. In this embodiment, the U-profile legs or parts are formed to the outside and thus form a cup-shaped receptacle 10th for the food 3. This makes it easier to hold the food 3 with the fingers of the hand.

Das Messer 2 kann durch die Führung der Längsschlitze 7, 8 bis in das U-Profil hinein ebenfalls beim Schneiden bis in das U-Profil geführt werden, also über das Lebensmittel 3 hinaus. Das Lebensmittel wird so sicher durchgeschnitten.The knife 2 can be guided by the leadership of the longitudinal slots 7, 8 into the U-profile also when cutting into the U-profile, ie beyond the food 3 addition. The food is cut so safely.

Die vorgeschlagene Vorrichtung ist leicht zu bedienen und schützt sicher die Hand beim Aufschneiden der Lebensmittel mit dem Messer 2, das durch die andere Hand bedient wird.The proposed device is easy to use and safely protects the hand when slicing the food with the knife 2, which is operated by the other hand.
