Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of interchangeable accessories intended to be inserted into gripping handles or knives.
  • the invention provides accessories, such as kitchen utensils, bivouac tools, etc. configured to be removably attached to gripping handles.
  • the invention also proposes an assembly consisting of a gripping handle and one or more accessories which can form an accessory kit.
  • a hand instrument usually referred to by the expression "Swiss knife”, comprising a block forming a handle. On the latter are mounted articulated along a transverse axis, several tools such as scissors, file, blade, punch, screwdriver, corkscrew, USB key, etc.
  • This type of knife has advantages in that it combines several tools with various respective functionalities in the same instrument. However, their structure is relatively complex given the solidity and resistance constraints linked to the presence of several tools mounted to rotate, which results in a high weight and a significant manufacturing cost.
  • the accessory may be a kitchen utensil, such as a spatula, a cutlery, for example a fork or a spoon; a tool such as an awl, a screwdriver, a corkscrew; or any other function.
  • the cooperation between the retaining part of the accessory and the rotating ferrule not only ensures the attachment of the accessory to the handle but also offers safety of use: when the rotating ferrule is in the locking position, the accessory can be handled safely.
  • the retaining part comprises a prominence configured to be received in a circumferential groove provided on an internal surface of the rotating ferrule, so as to retain the assembly portion when the rotating ferrule is in the locking position.
  • the assembly portion comprises an insertion part configured to be received in the internal housing.
  • the insertion part thus completes the retaining part for the removable fixing of the accessory in the gripping handle.
  • the insertion part extends longitudinally in the main direction of extension of the accessory so as to form a guide tab when inserting the assembly portion into the internal housing.
  • This configuration provides an angular anti-swaying system for the accessory inserted in the handle when using the accessory.
  • the assembly portion has a thickness less than the width of the internal housing, the assembly portion comprising a transverse portion defining a protuberance on an upper face, the protuberance being configured to bear on a first internal face of the internal housing and delimits on an opposite lower face of the assembly portion a cavity extending between two supporting parts, the two supporting parts being configured to bear on a second face internal of the internal housing opposite the first internal face.
  • a safety ring comprising a fixed part fixed to the gripping handle and a rotating part allowing the blade to be locked in the open position and the blade to be locked in the closed position, the accessory being inserted and fixed in the handle.
  • the accessory is configured to be hooked to an additional accessory, the accessory comprising a hooking means configured to cooperate with a complementary hooking means provided on the additional accessory, so as to allow attaching the accessory to the additional accessory. This makes it easier to store unused accessories.
  • the invention proposes an accessory kit comprising an additional accessory comprising a complementary attachment means and an accessory as previously described.
  • the hooking means and the complementary hooking means are configured so that the assembly portions and the functional portions respectively of the accessory and the additional accessory are superimposed when the hooking means is hung using complementary hooks.
  • the functional portions have complementary shapes, the superposition leads to minimal bulk of the accessory kit.
  • the hooking means comprises, or is constituted by a lug, in particular provided in a connecting portion of the accessory connecting the assembly portion to the functional portion of the accessory.
  • the complementary attachment means comprises a through light, in particular provided in a connecting portion configured to connect the assembly portion to a functional portion of the additional accessory.
  • the gripping handle of said assembly comprises a pivoting blade and a longitudinal groove formed from the end face and comprising a slot of which a portion is common with the opening of the internal housing, the pivoting blade comprising a portion pivot pivotally mounted in the longitudinal groove for pivoting the pivoting blade between a retracted position in which the pivoting blade is housed in the longitudinal groove, in which the rotating ferrule blocks the pivoting blade when the rotating ferrule is in the blocking position and in which the internal walls of the longitudinal groove and the pivoting portion define the contours of the internal housing, and a position of use in which the pivoting blade extends out of the longitudinal groove, following the longitudinal direction of the gripping handle.
  • an accessory 1 comprises an assembly portion 2 intended for removable attachment in a gripping handle 3 ( figures 6 and 7 ), a functional portion 4, here the spoon or the fork, and a connecting portion 5 connecting the two other portions 3,4.
  • the assembly portion 2 includes a retaining part 6 (also visible at figures 4 and 4 ), configured to cooperate with a rotating ferrule 7 provided on the gripping handle 3 as will be seen below ( figures 6 and 7 ), so as to retain the assembly portion 2 in the handle 3.
  • the gripping handle 3 comprises in an end portion 8, an internal housing 9 ( figures 6 and 7 ) comprising an opening 10 which serves in particular for the introduction of the assembly portion 2 of the accessory 1. More concretely, the opening 10 comprises a first portion opening into an end face 11 of the gripping handle 3 and from which the connecting portion 5 and the functional portion 4 protrude when the assembly portion 2 is inserted. The end face 11 extends transversely to the direction the retaining part 6 for cooperation with the rotating ferrule 7.
  • the rotating ferrule 7 of the handle is rotatably mounted between a blocking position in which the rotating ferrule 7 covers at least partly the second portion of the opening 10 and a release position in which the rotating ferrule 7 releases the second portion of the opening 10.
  • the prominence 12 of the retaining part 6 of the accessory 1 is configured to be received in a circumferential groove 13 formed on an internal surface of the rotating ferrule 7, so as to retain the assembly portion 2 in the internal housing 9 when the rotating ferrule 7 is in the locking position ( figures 6,7 ).
  • the assembly portion 2 comprises an insertion part 14 configured to be received in the internal housing 9. It extends longitudinally along the main direction of extension of the accessory 1, so as to form a guide tab when inserting the assembly portion 2 into the internal housing 9. This facilitates insertion into the housing 9 and also provides an angular anti-swaying effect of the accessory 1 inserted in the handle 3.
  • the insertion part 14 thus gives good rigidity to the assembly 100 of the accessory 1 housed in the gripping handle 3.
  • the assembly portion 2 has a thickness less than the width of the internal housing 9, which facilitates insertion but to compensate for this dimensional play which can hinder the use of the accessory 1, the assembly portion 2 comprises a transverse portion defining a protuberance 15 on an upper face 16 which makes it possible to bear on a first internal face of the internal housing 9. Conversely, the protuberance 15 delimits on an opposite lower face 17, a cavity 18 extending between two parts support 17' which allow support on a second opposite internal face.
  • the assembly portion thinner than the opening 10 of the internal housing 9 is guided by the guide tab, then the protuberance 15 bears on a first internal face and the two parts support, formed of two regions 17' of the lower face 17 ( figure 2 ), are supported on a second opposite internal face which limits the angular movement of the assembly portion 2 inserted in the internal housing 9.
  • a longitudinal groove 20 is formed from the end face 11 of the gripping sleeve 3, comprising a slot, a portion of which is common with the opening 10 of the internal housing 9.
  • the pivoting blade 19 comprises a portion pivot blade 21 pivotally mounted in the longitudinal groove 20. This ensures the pivoting of the pivoting blade 19 between a retracted position in which the pivoting blade 19 is housed in the longitudinal groove 20 (illustrated figures 6 and 7 ), and a position of use in which the pivoting blade 19 extends out of the longitudinal groove 20, in the longitudinal direction X of the gripping handle 3 (not illustrated).
  • the assembly portion 2 comprises a notch part 22, delimited on either side of the insertion part 14 and the retaining part 6, which has a shape complementary to that of the pivoting portion 21 so as to allow interlocking with the portion pivoting point 21 when the assembly portion 2 is inserted into the internal housing 9.
  • the accessory 1 also comprises a cutout portion 22 of a shape complementary to the shape of the internal housing 9.
  • accessory 1 such as a spoon ( figures 1 and 2 ) is configured to hang by overlapping with an additional accessory 1' (here a fork - Figure 3 ) by a hooking means 23 formed in the connecting part 5 of the accessory 1, here illustrated by a lug 23 ( figure 2 And 4 ).
  • the hooking means 23 is configured to cooperate with a complementary hooking means 24, illustrated here by a through light ( Figure 3 ) provided on the additional accessory 1'.
  • the pivoting blade 19 can pivot into the retracted position in the longitudinal groove 20, and the assembly portion 2 of the accessory 1 can be inserted into the internal housing 9, for example until the notch part 22 abuts against the pivoting portion 21.
  • the retaining part 6 is arranged on the side of the second portion of the opening 10 of the housing 9 to be able to cooperate with the ferrule rotary 7.
  • the rotary ferrule 7 can then rotate from its release position to its locking position in which the circumferential groove 13 cooperates with the prominence 12 of the retaining part 6 so as to fix the accessory 1 in the gripping handle 3.
  • the rotating ferrule 7 blocks the pivoting blade 19 in its retracted position.
  • the rotating ferrule 7 is then placed in front of a slot in the rotating ferrule 7 juxtaposed to the longitudinal groove 20 so that it is possible to remove the accessory 1 from the internal housing 9.
  • the pivoting portion 21 of the pivoting blade 19 being released from the notch part 22, and facing the slot of the rotating ferrule 7, the blade 19 can pivot into its position of use, in which it extends out of the longitudinal groove 20, in the direction longitudinal X of the gripping handle 3.
  • the present invention proposes an accessory 1 for removable attachment in a gripping sleeve 3 cleverly designed to be easily inserted into the handle 3.
  • the accessory 1 is also well designed to provide stability in the handle 3 avoiding axial movement or angular when using it.
  • the fact of using a rotating ferrule 7 also makes it possible to secure the use of the accessory 1 received in the handle 3.
  • the attachment means 23, 24 provided on the accessory 1 and the additional accessory 1 ' allows optimal storage, limiting the bulk of the kit 30.
