Technique antérieure Prior art
Dans le domaine de la préparation alimentaire, et plus particulièrement de la cuisson des pâtisseries, il est connu d’utiliser des moules pour mettre en forme et cuire des aliments tels que des gâteaux. In the field of food preparation, and more particularly of baking pastries, it is known to use molds for shaping and baking foods such as cakes.
Il est connu classiquement des moules, dits moules à muffin, qui présentent plusieurs réceptacles ou empreintes disposés sur un support, le tout formant un unique moule avec plusieurs cavités de réception de la pâtisserie. Classiquement ces moules monoblocs sont réalisés en tôle emboutie, éventuellement recouverte d’un revêtement antiadhésif. Ces moules existent avec une multitude de formes. L’avantage des moules en version multi empreintes est qu’ils permettent de réaliser plusieurs gâteaux ou recette simultanément, en remplissant toutes les cavités du moule. It is conventionally known molds, called muffin molds, which have several receptacles or impressions arranged on a support, the whole forming a single mold with several cavities for receiving the pastry. Conventionally, these one-piece molds are made of stamped sheet metal, possibly covered with a non-stick coating. These molds come in a multitude of shapes. The advantage of molds in the multi-cavity version is that they allow you to make several cakes or recipes simultaneously, filling all the cavities of the mold.
Cependant l’inconvénient de ces moules en version multi empreintes est que le démoulage est rendu difficile car les empreintes sont toutes solidaires du support. Elles ne sont donc pas manipulables individuellement mais seulement simultanément. However, the drawback of these molds in the multi-cavity version is that demolding is made difficult because the cavities are all integral with the support. They cannot therefore be handled individually but only simultaneously.
Il est également connu des moules en version multi empreintes où chaque empreinte est amovible par rapport à un plateau afin de faciliter le démoulage. Cependant l’inconvénient de ces moules est qu’ils n’assurent pas une stabilité optimale de l’empreinte, notamment en sortie du four lorsque le moule et sa préparation culinaire sont chauds. En effet l'utilisateur n'a aucune prise pour saisir l'empreinte qui est brûlante. There are also known molds in a multi-cavity version where each cavity is removable from a tray in order to facilitate demolding. However, the drawback of these molds is that they do not ensure optimum stability of the impression, in particular when leaving the oven when the mold and its food preparation are hot. In fact, the user has no hold to grasp the imprint which is hot.
De plus, à froid, l'instabilité est provoquée par le manque de place pour loger les doigts de l'utilisateur. En effet, dans le cas de ces moules, quand l'utilisateur pose l’empreinte dans son plateau, les doigts viennent gêner la dépose et l’utilisateur lâche l’empreinte pour quelle se positionne dans le plateau. Cela provoque des éclaboussures car l'utilisateur laisse tomber l'empreinte, ce qui secoue la préparation culinaire et la fait jaillir en dehors de son empreinte. In addition, when cold, the instability is caused by the lack of space to accommodate the user's fingers. Indeed, in the case of these molds, when the user places the impression in his tray, the fingers interfere with the removal and the user lets go of the impression so that it is positioned in the tray. This causes spattering as the user drops the imprint, which shakes the food preparation and causes it to squirt out of its imprint.
Aussi, la présente invention a pour but de résoudre tout ou partie des inconvénients mentionnés ci-dessus, notamment en proposant un moule multi empreintes stable, dont la préhension de l’empreinte ou coupelle est facilitée, évitant le débordement et les brûlures des doigts. Also, the object of the present invention is to resolve all or part of the drawbacks mentioned above, in particular by providing a stable multi-cavity mold, the gripping of the cavity or cup of which is facilitated, avoiding overflow and burning of the fingers.
Les inventeurs ont mis en évidence qu’il est possible d’utiliser des moules en version multi empreintes dont les empreintes présentent une forme et une taille définissant une zone de préhension et une zone de stabilité. The inventors have demonstrated that it is possible to use molds in a multi-cavity version, the imprints of which have a shape and a size defining a grip zone and a zone of stability.
L’invention offre au moins un des avantages déterminants décrits ci-après. The invention offers at least one of the decisive advantages described below.
Avantageusement, le moule selon l’invention permet une préhension facilitée des empreintes. Ainsi le remplissage de chaque empreinte individuellement est plus facile. Advantageously, the mold according to the invention allows easier gripping of the impressions. This makes it easier to fill each cavity individually.
L’invention offre comme autre avantage que la prise des récipients est facilitée lorsque l'on sort le moule du four et que celui-ci est chaud. Un utilisateur dont les mains sont munies de maniques, et dont l’aisance est limitée pourra facilement saisir l'empreinte grâce à sa zone de préhension quand bien même le moule est brûlant. Another advantage of the invention is that the receptacles are easier to grip when the mold is taken out of the oven and the latter is hot. A user whose hands are fitted with pot holders and whose ease is limited will be able to easily grasp the impression thanks to its gripping zone even when the mold is hot.
Un autre avantage de la présente invention est que cette disposition particulière du récipient, sur la structure de réception ou plateau permet à l’air chaud du four de se déplacer de façon homogène autour de l’empreinte, et permet ainsi à l’aliment ou la préparation d’aliments de cuire de façon plus homogène. Another advantage of the present invention is that this particular arrangement of the container, on the receiving structure or tray allows the hot air from the oven to move homogeneously around the cavity, and thus allows the food or preparing food to cook more evenly.
Un autre avantage de la présente invention provient du fait que chaque empreinte individuellement est amovible, ce qui permet une manipulation beaucoup plus aisée en comparaison à la manipulation du moule tout entier avec toutes ses empreintes. Chacun autour de la table peut agrémenter sa préparation alimentaire dans son empreinte à son propre goût. Sur une même fournée on peut réaliser différents types de gâteaux. Another advantage of the present invention stems from the fact that each cavity individually is removable, which allows much easier handling compared to handling the entire mold with all of its parts. fingerprints. Everyone around the table can enhance their food preparation in their own imprint to their own taste. Different types of cakes can be made in the same batch.
Un autre avantage de la présente invention provient du fait que sur une même fournée on peut réaliser différentes formes de gâteaux avec différentes empreintes. Another advantage of the present invention stems from the fact that in the same batch it is possible to produce different shapes of cakes with different imprints.
Exposé de l’invention Disclosure of the invention
L’invention a pour objet un moule destiné à la préparation d’aliment, notamment des pâtisseries, comprenant The subject of the invention is a mold intended for the preparation of food, in particular pastries, comprising
- un support comprenant une structure de réception qui est un plateau, des rehausseurs et au moins une ouverture traversante présentant un bord; a support comprising a receiving structure which is a plate, risers and at least one through opening having an edge;
- au moins un récipient amovible de hauteur h destiné à être inséré dans l’ouverture, le récipient comprenant une paroi de fond et une paroi latérale s’étendant à partir de la paroi de fond, la paroi latérale et la paroi de fond formant une cavité de retenue des aliments ; chaque récipient présente sur sa paroi latérale une zone supérieure de préhension ne pouvant traverser l’ouverture et présentant une hauteur h1 ; une ligne annulaire de coopération où le récipient coopère avec le bord de l’ouverture afin d’appuyer le récipient sur le bord; et une zone inférieure de stabilité capable de traverser l’ouverture et présentant une hauteur h2 ; la hauteur h1 représente au moins 25% de la hauteur h du récipient et n’excède pas 45% de la hauteur h du récipient; la ligne annulaire de coopération délimite la jonction entre les zones supérieure et inférieure ; et l’aire de l’ouverture traversante est égale à l’aire de la section transversale du récipient au niveau de la ligne annulaire de coopération. Ainsi, le support comprend une structure de réception qui est un plateau de réception, destiné à recevoir, regrouper et supporter les récipients, eux-mêmes destinés à recevoir la préparation alimentaire. La structure permet de solidariser tous les éléments du moule entre eux, notamment les récipients. Le support et le ou les récipients sont deux éléments distincts, s’emboîtant l’un dans l’autre. Le support présente des rehausseurs, permettant de surélever et de maintenir les récipients à distance de la surface de pose sur laquelle est disposée le support comme par exemple un plan de travail, une grille ou une lèche frite d’un four de cuisson. Ainsi la paroi de fond des récipients n'entre pas en contact avec le plan de travail, ni avec les grilles du four lorsque les récipients sont disposés dans le support. Le contact direct avec la grille du four étant évité, il n'y a pas de transmission directe de la chaleur par les éléments métalliques du four, qui se propagerait par la paroi de fond et provoquerait une cuisson hétérogène. Ainsi le risque d'une cuisson trop forte dans le fond des récipients est évité. Cette disposition avantageuse permet à la chaleur de se propager tout autour de la surface disponible du récipient. Ainsi la cuisson se fait par une chaleur diffusée par l'air ambiant du four autour des récipients, facilitant une cuisson homogène de l'ensemble de la préparation alimentaire. - at least one removable container of height h intended to be inserted into the opening, the container comprising a bottom wall and a side wall extending from the bottom wall, the side wall and the bottom wall forming a food retention cavity; each container has on its side wall an upper gripping zone which cannot pass through the opening and having a height h1; an annular line of cooperation where the container cooperates with the edge of the opening in order to press the container on the edge; and a lower zone of stability capable of passing through the opening and having a height h2; the height h1 represents at least 25% of the height h of the container and does not exceed 45% of the height h of the container; the annular line of cooperation delimits the junction between the upper and lower zones; and the area of the through opening is equal to the cross-sectional area of the container at the annular line of cooperation. Thus, the support comprises a receiving structure which is a receiving tray, intended to receive, group together and support the receptacles, themselves intended to receive the. food preparation. The structure makes it possible to secure all the elements of the mold together, in particular the containers. The support and the receptacle (s) are two distinct elements, fitting into each other. The support has risers, making it possible to raise and maintain the receptacles at a distance from the laying surface on which the support is placed, such as for example a work surface, a grid or a frying pan of a cooking oven. Thus the bottom wall of the receptacles does not come into contact with the work surface, nor with the oven racks when the receptacles are placed in the support. Since direct contact with the oven rack is avoided, there is no direct transmission of heat by the metal elements of the oven, which would propagate through the bottom wall and cause heterogeneous cooking. Thus the risk of too much cooking in the bottom of the receptacles is avoided. This advantageous arrangement allows the heat to propagate all around the available surface of the container. Thus, the cooking is done by a heat diffused by the ambient air of the oven around the containers, facilitating homogeneous cooking of the whole food preparation.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, la ligne annulaire de coopération coopère en tout ou partie avec le bord de l’ouverture. According to another characteristic of the invention, the annular line of cooperation cooperates in whole or in part with the edge of the opening.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, la seule surface de contact du récipient amovible avec le support est la ligne annulaire de coopération qui coopère en tout ou partie avec le bord de l’ouverture, le récipient n’étant pas en contact avec la surface de la structure de réception. Le seul contact du récipient avec le support est le bord des ouvertures. According to another characteristic of the invention, the only contact surface of the removable container with the support is the annular cooperation line which cooperates in whole or in part with the edge of the opening, the container not being in contact with the surface of the receiving structure. The only contact of the container with the support is the edge of the openings.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, les rehausseurs sont disposés latéralement de chaque côté du support. Avantageusement les rehausseurs supportent le poids de la structure de réception du moule selon l’invention avec ou sans les récipients amovibles. According to another characteristic of the invention, the booster seats are arranged laterally on each side of the support. Advantageously, the risers support the weight of the mold receiving structure according to the invention with or without the removable containers.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, les rehausseurs sont présents sur aux plus deux côtés de la structure de réception, de préférence en vis-à-vis, et les 2 autres cotés sont laissés libres afin de permettre à l’air de circuler. According to another characteristic of the invention, the booster seats are present on at most two sides of the receiving structure, preferably opposite each other, and the other 2 sides are left free in order to allow air to circulate. .
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, les rehausseurs présentent une forme sensiblement en L avec une patte de rehausseur posant sur le plan de travail ou le four. La patte de rehausseur est avantageusement disposée dans un plan parallèle au plan contenant la structure de réception. According to another characteristic of the invention, the booster seats have a substantially L-shaped shape with a booster tab resting on the plane of work or oven. The booster tab is advantageously arranged in a plane parallel to the plane containing the receiving structure.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, le support du moule selon l’invention avec sa structure de réception et ses rehausseurs est configuré pour surélever le récipient par rapport à la surface de pose sur laquelle est disposée le moule et pour délimiter une lame d’air entre la paroi de fond du récipient et cette surface de pose du moule. According to another characteristic of the invention, the support of the mold according to the invention with its receiving structure and its risers is configured to raise the container relative to the laying surface on which the mold is placed and to delimit a blade d. air between the bottom wall of the container and this mold laying surface.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, le support du moule selon l’invention comprend un couloir de circulation d’air disposé sous la structure de réception. Une telle configuration du moule selon l’invention, et en particulier la présence d’une lame d’air entre le récipient et la surface sur laquelle est disposée le moule, par exemple un plan de travail ou la plaque du four de cuisson, permet d’isoler suffisamment la face inférieure de la préparation culinaire, reçue dans le récipient, du rayonnement provenant de moyens de chauffage inférieurs du four de cuisson, et donc de ralentir la cuisson et la coloration de la face inférieure de la préparation culinaire. According to another characteristic of the invention, the support of the mold according to the invention comprises an air circulation passage arranged under the receiving structure. Such a configuration of the mold according to the invention, and in particular the presence of an air gap between the container and the surface on which the mold is placed, for example a work surface or the baking oven plate, allows sufficiently isolate the underside of the culinary preparation, received in the receptacle, from the radiation coming from the lower heating means of the cooking oven, and therefore slow down the cooking and the coloring of the underside of the culinary preparation.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, les rehausseurs présentent une hauteur h3, cette hauteur h3 est supérieure à la hauteur h2, préférentiellement la hauteur h3 est supérieure d’au moins 10%, de préférence d’au moins 15% à la valeur de la hauteur h2. La hauteur h3 correspond à la somme des hauteurs h2 et h4. Ainsi les récipients sont réhaussés, en élévation et leur paroi de fond est maintenue libre de tout contact. La paroi de fond n’est jamais en contact avec un quelconque élément une fois le récipient installé sur le support du moule. Ainsi la paroi de fond ne touche jamais aucun élément du four de cuisson ou du plan de travail ou du support. According to another characteristic of the invention, the risers have a height h3, this height h3 is greater than the height h2, preferably the height h3 is greater by at least 10%, preferably by at least 15% to the value height h2. The height h3 corresponds to the sum of the heights h2 and h4. Thus the containers are raised, in elevation and their bottom wall is kept free from any contact. The bottom wall is never in contact with any element once the container is installed on the mold support. Thus the bottom wall never touches any element of the baking oven or of the worktop or of the support.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, le moule selon l’invention présente une zone de réservation de hauteur h4, s’étendant de la surface de pose du plan de travail jusqu’à la paroi de fond des récipients. La hauteur h4 est présente lorsque le récipient est inséré dans l’ouverture traversante. La hauteur h4 correspond à la différence h3 - h2. Avantageusement, cette zone de réservation accueille la lame d’air et permet la circulation de l’air permettant à l’air chaud de mieux circuler entre les récipients et de fournir une cuisson douce et homogène sans créer de point chaud localement par contact avec la paroi de fond, ce qui provoquerait des zones brûlées par excès de chauffe. According to another characteristic of the invention, the mold according to the invention has a reserve zone of height h4, extending from the laying surface of the worktop to the bottom wall of the containers. The height h4 is present when the container is inserted into the through opening. The height h4 corresponds to the difference h3 - h2. Advantageously, this reserve zone accommodates the air gap and allows the circulation of the air allowing the hot air to circulate better between the containers and to provide a gentle and homogeneous cooking. without creating a local hot spot by contact with the bottom wall, which would cause areas burnt by excess heating.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, le centre de gravité du récipient est situé au-dessus de la ligne annulaire de coopération lorsque la paroi latérale coopère avec le bord de l’ouverture du support. La ligne annulaire de coopération du récipient coopère en tout ou partie avec le périmètre du bord de l’ouverture afin de retenir le récipient. C'est grâce à la force de gravité que les récipients s’ajustent dans les ouvertures traversantes et viennent coopérer en tout ou partie avec la ligne annulaire. La position du centre de gravité au-dessus de la ligne annulaire permet de réserver un espace servant de zone supérieure de préhension. According to another characteristic of the invention, the center of gravity of the container is located above the annular line of cooperation when the side wall cooperates with the edge of the opening of the support. The annular cooperation line of the container cooperates in whole or in part with the perimeter of the edge of the opening in order to retain the container. It is thanks to the force of gravity that the containers fit into the through openings and come to cooperate in whole or in part with the annular line. The position of the center of gravity above the annular line makes it possible to reserve a space serving as an upper gripping zone.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, la zone inférieure de stabilité s’étend au-dessous du bord de l’ouverture. Ainsi un utilisateur peut remplir toutes les empreintes avec une préparation liquide et disposer les empreintes remplies dans le support sans que celles-ci ne se renversent. Lorsque le récipient est inséré dans l’ouverture du support du moule, alors la zone de stabilité n’est plus en contact avec le plan de travail ou avec la plaque du four, mais est seulement en contact avec le support du moule par l’intermédiaire de la ligne annulaire de coopération. According to another feature of the invention, the lower zone of stability extends below the edge of the opening. Thus, a user can fill all the impressions with a liquid preparation and place the filled impressions in the support without them overturning. When the container is inserted into the opening of the mold support, then the stability zone is no longer in contact with the worktop or with the oven plate, but is only in contact with the mold support by the intermediary of the annular line of cooperation.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, la zone supérieure de préhension s’étend au-dessus du bord de l’ouverture. Ainsi la saisie du récipient est facilitée car les doigts de l'utilisateur peuvent venir se loger entre la structure de réception du support et le sommet de la paroi latérale du récipient. L'utilisateur peut alors soulever le récipient qui se détache aisément du support car aucun élément de maintien ne retient le récipient au support. According to another feature of the invention, the upper grip zone extends above the edge of the opening. Thus, gripping the container is facilitated because the user's fingers can be lodged between the receiving structure of the support and the top of the side wall of the container. The user can then lift the container which is easily detached from the support because no retaining element retains the container to the support.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, chaque récipient présente un angle a de démoulage d’au moins 5°. Ainsi les parois latérales présentent un angle a d'inclinaison qui facilite le démoulage lorsque le récipient est retourné orientant son ouverture et sa cavité vers le bas. Cet angle a de démoulage est de préférence de 10° afin de démouler une pâtisserie. According to another characteristic of the invention, each container has a demoulding angle α of at least 5 °. Thus the side walls have an angle α of inclination which facilitates demolding when the container is turned upside down orienting its opening and its cavity downwards. This demoulding angle α is preferably 10 ° in order to demold a pastry.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, chaque récipient présente une section transversale progressive, entre un minimum et un maximum, couvrant une aire variable selon un axe longitudinal (A) du récipient, pour que chaque récipient présente une géométrie sensiblement tronconique ou en tronc de pyramide. Cette disposition géométrique vient faciliter le démoulage mais permet également une facilitation de la circulation de la chaleur autour des récipients.According to another characteristic of the invention, each container has a progressive cross section, between a minimum and a maximum, covering a variable area along a longitudinal axis (A) of the container, so that each container has a substantially frustoconical or truncated pyramid geometry. This geometric arrangement facilitates demolding but also facilitates the circulation of heat around the containers.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, la section transversale minimum du récipient présente une aire inférieure à l’aire de l’ouverture. Ainsi cette différence de taille entre ces deux aires permet au récipient de s'introduire naturellement dans l'ouverture, c'est-à-dire par la force de gravité sans qu'aucune force extérieure ne soit nécessaire. According to another characteristic of the invention, the minimum cross section of the container has an area less than the area of the opening. Thus this difference in size between these two areas allows the container to enter the opening naturally, that is to say by the force of gravity without any external force being necessary.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, la section transversale maximum du récipient présente une aire supérieure à l’aire de l’ouverture. Ainsi cette différence de taille entre ces deux aires permet au récipient de ne pas traverser complètement l’ouverture traversante et d'être retenu par le bord de l'ouverture.According to another feature of the invention, the maximum cross section of the container has an area greater than the area of the opening. Thus this difference in size between these two areas allows the container not to pass completely through the through opening and to be retained by the edge of the opening.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, la hauteur h du récipient est égale à la somme des hauteurs h1 + h2. According to another characteristic of the invention, the height h of the container is equal to the sum of the heights h1 + h2.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, la hauteur h2 est supérieure à 15 mm, de préférence supérieure à 20 mm. According to another characteristic of the invention, the height h2 is greater than 15 mm, preferably greater than 20 mm.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, la hauteur h2 représente au plus 75% de la hauteur h du récipient et au moins 55% de la hauteur h du récipient.According to another characteristic of the invention, the height h2 represents at most 75% of the height h of the container and at least 55% of the height h of the container.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, chaque récipient peut comprendre un système de verrouillage avec la structure de réception. Ce système de verrouillage peut se présenter sous forme d’encoches (par exemple un logement décroché sur la paroi latérale pour maintien sur le support) ou d’un dispositif d’ergots et de baïonnettes (par exemple ergot court et long avec support à encoche pour coopérer avec baïonnette). Il permet de stabiliser le récipient en cas de mouvements transversaux du support, ou de mouvements verticaux.According to another characteristic of the invention, each container can include a locking system with the receiving structure. This locking system can be in the form of notches (for example a housing unhooked on the side wall to keep it on the support) or of a device of pins and bayonets (for example short and long lug with notch support to cooperate with bayonet). It stabilizes the container in the event of transverse movements of the support, or vertical movements.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, chaque récipient est amovible. Chaque empreinte est indépendante et peut être retirée individuellement car elle est amovible, ce qui permet une manipulation beaucoup plus aisée en comparaison à la manipulation du moule tout entier, avec toutes ses empreintes. Ainsi un utilisateur peut saisir une seule empreinte, l’incliner et la remplir facilement avec par exemple une louche. According to another characteristic of the invention, each container is removable. Each impression is independent and can be removed individually because it is removable, which allows much easier handling compared to handling the entire mold, with all of its impressions. Thus a user can take a single imprint, tilt it and easily fill it with, for example, a ladle.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, le bord de l’ouverture traversante présente un aménagement facilitant l’accostage du récipient, comme par exemple un bord arrondi ou un pan incliné. According to another characteristic of the invention, the edge of the through opening has an arrangement facilitating docking of the container, such as for example a rounded edge or an inclined side.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, le support et les récipients sont en matériau rigide, gardant sa forme, comme par exemple en métal, en acier. According to another characteristic of the invention, the support and the containers are made of a rigid material, retaining its shape, such as for example metal or steel.
Il peut aussi être envisagé que le support et les récipients soit en inox, en silicone ou en aluminium. Avantageusement, ils seront recouverts d'un revêtement anti adhésif. Il peut aussi être envisagé que le support et les récipients soient en matériaux différents, comme par exemple le support en métal ou en bois, et les récipients en verre ou céramique. It can also be envisaged that the support and the containers are made of stainless steel, silicone or aluminum. Advantageously, they will be covered with a non-stick coating. It can also be envisaged that the support and the receptacles are made of different materials, such as for example the support made of metal or wood, and the receptacles made of glass or ceramic.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, les récipients présentent une forme qui leur permet d’être empilés afin de faciliter leur rangement. According to another characteristic of the invention, the containers have a shape which allows them to be stacked in order to facilitate their storage.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, les rehausseurs du support peuvent se replier sous le support. According to another characteristic of the invention, the risers of the support can be folded up under the support.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, les rehausseurs du support peuvent se démonter et se détacher du support. According to another characteristic of the invention, the risers of the support can be dismantled and detached from the support.
Selon une autre caractéristique de l’invention, la structure de réception et les rehausseurs sont un même élément continu. According to another characteristic of the invention, the receiving structure and the booster seats are one and the same continuous element.

En condition d’utilisation, un utilisateur peut par exemple, se saisir des récipients 7 pour y verser une préparation culinaire. L’utilisateur saisira chaque récipient 7 par sa zone de préhension 11 ou encore par la paroi latérale 9 et remplira la cavité 10 de la préparation alimentaire. Puis il déposera les récipients remplis dans n’importe quelle ouverture 5 du plateau 3, en suivant approximativement la direction d’un axe longitudinal (A). Ensuite le récipient 7 entre en contact avec le bord 6 des ouvertures 5 et lorsque la ligne 12 annulaire entre au contact du bord 6, celle-ci coopère avec le bord 6 et arrête le déplacement longitudinal du récipient 7. L’utilisateur peut lors lâcher le récipient 7 et répéter cette opération pour chaque récipient afin de compléter toutes les ouvertures 5 du moule 1 . Les récipients 7, une fois mis en place dans les ouvertures 5 du support 2 ne sont plus en contact avec le plan de travail mais supportés par le support 2 par l’intermédiaire de la ligne annulaire de coopération 12 coopérant avec le bord 6. Ainsi les récipients 7 sont réhaussés ou surélevés, en élévation et leur paroi de fond 8 est maintenue libre, sans contact avec un quelconque élément une fois le récipient 7 installé sur le support 2 du moule 1 . Ainsi la paroi de fond 8 ne touche jamais aucun élément du four de cuisson ou du plan de travail ou du support 2.FIG. 9 partially illustrates a fifth embodiment of a mold 1 according to the invention. The receiving support is a tray 3 comprising L-shaped risers 4, having legs 14. The legs 14 are arranged in a plane parallel to the plane of the tray 3. The risers 14 have a height h3, which is greater than the height. height h2, h2 representing approximately 1/3 of h3. The structure 3 for receiving the mold 1 comprises an air circulation passage 15 arranged under the structure 3 for receiving. The mold 1 has a reserve zone 16 of height h4 which extends from the surface of the worktop to the bottom wall 8. The height h3 corresponds to the sum of the heights h2 and h4. This reservation zone 16 allows the circulation of an air knife in the passage 15 allowing the hot air to circulate better between the containers 7 and to provide a gentle and homogeneous cooking without creating a hot spot locally by contact with the bottom wall 8, which would cause burnt areas by overheating. In the condition of use, a user can, for example, take hold of the containers 7 in order to pour a culinary preparation into them. The user will grasp each container 7 by its gripping zone 11 or else by the side wall 9 and fill the cavity 10 with the food preparation. Then he will deposit the filled containers in any opening 5 of the tray 3, approximately following the direction of a longitudinal axis (A). Then the container 7 comes into contact with the edge 6 of the openings 5 and when the annular line 12 comes into contact with the edge 6, the latter cooperates with the edge 6 and stops the longitudinal movement of the container 7. The user can then release container 7 and repeat this operation for each container in order to complete all the openings 5 of mold 1. The receptacles 7, once placed in the openings 5 of the support 2 are no longer in contact with the work surface but are supported by the support 2 by means of the annular cooperation line 12 cooperating with the edge 6. Thus the containers 7 are raised or raised, in elevation and their bottom wall 8 is kept free, without contact with any element once the container 7 is installed on the support 2 of the mold 1. Thus the bottom wall 8 never touches any element of the baking oven or of the worktop or of the support 2.
En fonction de la recette suivie, l’utilisateur peut chauffer le moule 1 ou le refroidir. Les spécificités de la liaison entre le récipient 7 et les ouvertures 5 permettent de garantir la stabilité de l’ensemble du moule 1 , support et récipients, dans des conditions de dilatation (cuisson) ou de rétractation (refroidissement) du moule 1. Une fois la cuisson ou le refroidissement réalisé, l’utilisateur peut désassembler les récipients 7 du support 2 en les saisissant facilement par leur zone de préhension, en tirant vers le haut selon la direction de l’axe longitudinal (A). Les récipients sont ainsi retirés du support 2. Il devient possible pour l’utilisateur de démouler la préparation culinaire (i.e. le gâteau) sans risquer de l’endommager. Depending on the recipe followed, the user can heat mold 1 or cool it. The specific features of the connection between the container 7 and the openings 5 make it possible to guarantee the stability of the whole of the mold 1, support and containers, under conditions of expansion (baking) or of retraction (cooling) of the mold 1. Once once the cooking or cooling has been carried out, the user can disassemble the containers 7 from the support 2 by easily gripping them by their gripping zone, by pulling upwards in the direction of the longitudinal axis (A). The containers are thus removed from the support 2. It becomes possible for the user to unmold the culinary preparation (i.e. the cake) without risking damage.
Bien que l’invention ait été décrite en liaison avec des exemples particuliers de réalisation et d’applications, il est bien évident qu’elle n’y est nullement limitée.Although the invention has been described in connection with particular embodiments and applications, it is obvious that it is in no way limited to them.
Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de l’agencement et de la constitution des différents éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention. Modifications remain possible, in particular from the point of view of the arrangement and constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without thereby departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
