Description

Rigid slicing knife tool ham manual.

Object of the invention

The present invention refers to the design technician of a manual cutting tool with rigid blade (no flexible), specially designed in its shape and dimensions, to facilitate the total filleting of the traditional piece of cured ham With bone.

Background of the invention

The existence of a wide variety is known of devices, most of which are based on the principle used in the usual "peeled potatoes" or "slices cheese "(where a guide is attached with a guide longitudinal parallel to its edge), and which have been designed to undertake, among other things, the sliced sliced ham  uniform thickness, a task that is usually done with the Traditional ham knife. However, they have not been conceived to adapt to the anatomical complexity that it presents bone-cured ham, which limits the application of these to certain areas of the ham piece, as they are uncomfortable to maneuver for their particular designs.

The present invention has been conceived by taking The main design condition is versatility in handling of the tool (both for its weight, as for its shape and dimensions), thus allowing to save all of the anatomical irregularities that present the different pieces of bone-cured ham, because it is a tool Versatile and maneuverable cut.

Description of the invention

The mentioned tool is constituted by a slender cutting structure formed by a cutting blade Rigid (4) and a Longitudinal Guide Bar (3) in "L" profile. Both elements are tightly fixed at their ends. by means of screws (13) and (14) so that the structure thus shaped presents a compact profile and high rigidity mechanics, which allows to keep virtually unchanged dimensions of it throughout its length, even when subjected to the necessary efforts to make the cut.

The idea of a sharp, slender structure and compact profile with markedly rounded edges, is essential to achieve to slice the most complex areas of the Anatomy of the bone-cured ham. Additionally, said structure allows the tool to be light and free of mechanical devices (such as mechanisms of blade clamping / adjustment, etc.), which obstruct the already If difficult task of slicing the ham manually.

Starting with the Rigid Cutting Blade indicated in figure 2, it is constituted by a sheet rigid and slender on which the edge has been practiced. Said edge It has the peculiarity of having its lower face completely flat (see Section B), since it will be this area that slides over the piece of ham (base of the Rigid Cut Blade).

As seen in Figure 6, the geometry of the Profile of the Rigid Cutting Blade (4) should be such that it allows provide it with high rigidity despite being markedly Slender (the width of the blade (5) is constant and has been set to the environment of 12 millimeters), once it has been subjected to tempering and tempering processes, necessary for Increase its hardness.

The Longitudinal Guide Bar indicated in the Figure 1 is constituted by a "L" profile (whose edge is markedly rounded as can be seen in Cut A), which It is fixed to the Rigid Cutting Blade (4) and complies mainly two functions:

One is to serve as a limiting guide for obtain slices of calibrated and constant thickness in this way (operation similar to the usual "peeler legs"). The other is to increase the mechanical rigidity of the structure that forms next to the Rigid Cutting Blade, thus allowing maintain the thickness of the invariant cut throughout the entire area cutting This structure of two rigid and slender pieces joined at its ends it has the additional advantage of minimizing weight Total tool, a fundamental requirement if you want make a precision cut on the ham piece.

Additionally, the design has considered possibility of regulating the cutting clearance horizontally (9) (space that separates the Longitudinal Guide Bar from the Blade Rigid Cut, see figure 7), which allows besides regulating the slicing thickness keep cutting clearance constant, it is say its thickness, despite the inevitable wear of the Blade of Rigid cut due to successive sharp.

Despite this slim, profile design compact and rounded, there are areas in the anatomy of the ham bone curing in which the cut should be made at right angles against the bone (typically the area near the coxal bone (12) as indicated in figure 9). To make this cut with comfort in these areas, a recess (6) has been practiced in one of the tips (opposite the handle) of the Longitudinal Guide Bar as It is indicated in figures 3 and 4. Said recess discovers almost totally the edge of the Blade of Rigid Cut, what allows make the edge reach the bone, obtaining from this it forms a flush cut (12) as indicated in figure 9.

Description of a preferred embodiment

Figure 2 shows the detail of the Rigid Cutting Blade (4). It consists of a sheet rigid slender that has been longitudinally sharpened sharp to facilitate slicing of the ham, being its lower face totally flat The edge opposite the edge (7) has been rounded to reduce the turning radius of the tool (10), as indicated in figure 8. They have also been practiced at their ends two holes where the screws (13) and (14) are inserted, in the which is locked to the Rigid Cutting Blade (4) by separation nuts (2).

Figure 1 shows the Guide Bar Longitudinal (3). It consists of a profile folded in "L" which gives it high rigidity throughout its length. The Longitudinal Guide Bar (3) has at its two ends oval holes (8) by which it is fixed to the Blade of Rigid cutting (4) using screws (13) and (14).

These oval holes (8), allow to regulate the horizontal clearance (9) between the Longitudinal Guide Bar (3) and the Rigid Cutting Blade (4) as indicated in Figure 7. The fixation of the Longitudinal Guide Bar (3) to the rest of the structure it is achieved by the upper locking nut (1).

As stated before, the Cutting Blade Rigid (4) has its leading edge (7) rounded, allowing that way reduce the turning radius of the tool (10) in the hard-to-reach areas, such as the intersection of muscles or muscle tissue (16) with bone or bone structure (15), such and as can be seen in figure 8.

Additionally at the opposite end of the handle of the Longitudinal Guide Bar has been recessed (6) in its front face in order to discover almost completely the edge of the blade, thus allowing to reach the slices hard-to-reach areas as can be seen in figure 9.

Figures 3 and 4 indicate two views of the fully armed tool (where the handle of the tool whose design is irrelevant to the invention that here it is described), which completes the process description of manufacturing it.
