Description

D E S C R I P C I Ó N DIVISOR EXTERIOR DE SARTÉN PARA COCINAR ALIMENTOS DIFERENCIADOS EN UNA MISMA ACCIÓN 5 SECTOR DE LA TÉCNICA La actual patente de invención hace referencia a un nuevo utensilio de cocina que permite la elaboración de tortillas de patata con ingredientes diferentes, pero en la 10 misma sartén y con una cocción paralela, es decir, en la misma acción, no en acciones sucesivas. Igualmente, el accesorio permite cocinar dos tipos de alimentos diferentes, a la vez, en un mismo acto y sin mezclarse. La fabricación de este nuevo sistema de cocinado de tortilla de patata u otros 15 alimentos, recogerá cualquier tamaño de sartén existente en el mercado. Su tamaño dependerá del tamaño de la sartén, de tal forma que se podrá confeccionar en distintas medidas, pudiendo abarcar todos las dimensiones posibles de las sartenes del mercado. 20 ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN Actualmente no se conocen utensilios parecidos o similares al que se trata de patentar, ni en lo relativo físicamente a la opción de elaborar una tortilla con sabores diferentes, es decir otro tipo de utensilio que pueda hacer algo similar, ni, 25 literariamente, en lo relativo a la sugerencia de elaborar este producto, es decir, no se nombra en ningún lugar conocido por este inventor la idea de elaborar una tortilla de patata con sabores diferentes en la misma acción, ni la de cocinar alimentos sin mezclarse en una misma sartén genérica (sin ninguna especialidad física). 30 En cuanto a la posibilidad de cocinar distintos alimentos en la misma sartén, pero en espacios separados, existen modelos de sartén con una o varias divisiones en su interior que permiten cocinar en dos o más partes diferentes, sin mezclar los alimentos y sabores, pero nada tiene que ver con esta nueva invención y, además, suelen ser utilizados únicamente, al parecer, para la elaboración de tortitas. 35 DESCRIPTION OUTER PAN DIVIDER TO COOK DIFFERENT FOODS IN A SAME ACTION 5 TECHNICAL SECTOR The current invention patent refers to a new kitchen utensil that allows the preparation of potato tortillas with different ingredients, but in the same 10 pan and with a parallel cooking, that is, in the same action, not in successive actions. Likewise, the accessory allows you to cook two different types of food, at the same time, in the same act and without mixing. The manufacture of this new cooking system of potato omelette or other 15 foods, will pick up any existing pan size in the market. Its size will depend on the size of the pan, so that it can be made in different sizes, and can cover all possible dimensions of the market pans. 20 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Currently there are no known similar or similar utensils to the one that is to be patented, nor in relation to the option of making a tortilla with different flavors, that is, another type of utensil that can do something similar, or, 25 Literally, in relation to the suggestion of making this product, that is, the idea of preparing a potato tortilla with different flavors in the same action, nor of cooking food without mixing, is not named anywhere in the same generic pan (without any physical specialty). 30 Regarding the possibility of cooking different foods in the same pan, but in separate spaces, there are pan models with one or several divisions inside that allow cooking in two or more different parts, without mixing the food and flavors, but nothing has to do with this new invention and, in addition, they are usually used only, apparently, for the preparation of pancakes. 35

En nuestro caso, la sartén será una de uso corriente, genérica, la cual podrá ser utilizada para cualquier uso cotidiano cuando no lleve acoplado el utensilio del que hablamos. Por tanto, mientras las sartenes nombradas como antecedentes llevan la división física en su base, para el uso de esta nueva invención se utilizará una sartén común, no teniendo, por lo tanto, nada que ver una invención con la otra. 5 .EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN El utensilio de cocina propuesto estará compuesto por varias partes, unidas entre sí mediante soldadura o mediante cualquier otro tipo de puntos de unión (tornillos, 10 remaches, etc.), evitando que en dichos puntos de unión se produzcan zonas de debilidad o rotura (salvo la lógica por el paso del tiempo y su uso), asegurando la firmeza y solidez del producto. No obstante, también podrá ser fabricado en una sola pieza. El utensilio será los suficientemente rígido como para facilitar su colocación en el dispositivo de cocción usado. 15 La invención comprenderá las siguientes partes: In our case, the pan will be one of ordinary use, generic, which can be used for any daily use when the utensil we are talking about is not attached. Therefore, while the pans named as antecedents carry the physical division at their base, a common pan will be used for the use of this new invention, thus having nothing to do with one invention. 5. EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION The proposed kitchen utensil will be made up of several parts, joined together by welding or by any other type of connection points (screws, 10 rivets, etc.), preventing such union points from occurring areas of weakness or breakage (except the logic for the passage of time and its use), ensuring the firmness and solidity of the product. However, it can also be manufactured in one piece. The utensil will be rigid enough to facilitate its placement in the used cooking device. The invention will comprise the following parts:

a. Una parte circular, de una longitud perimetral y un diámetro tal que permita adaptarse de forma perfecta al perímetro de la sartén, quedando ambas unidas 20 de forma intima pero sin provocar rozaduras, ralladuras ni desperfectos. to. A circular part, of a perimeter length and a diameter that allows it to adapt perfectly to the perimeter of the pan, both being intimately joined 20 but without causing chafing, scratches or damage.

Esta parte circular tendrá una pestaña lateral que rodeará la sartén por completo y que estará en contacto físico con ella, permitiendo la total sujeción del aparato y evitando los movimientos laterales del mismo. A la vez, en la 25 parte superior de esta parte, se colocará un tope horizontal del mismo ancho que el borde de la sartén que, al igual que el anterior, en contacto intimo con dicho borde evitará el hundimiento del producto en la sartén. En definitiva, esta parte tendrá forma de "L", invertida hacia abajo, que se 30 adaptará a la pared y al borde de la sartén para facilitar la perfecta unión del utensilio con la misma. Por tanto, su diámetro o la longitud de su perímetro deberá ser tal que acople con total perfección al utensilio de cocción. This circular part will have a lateral flange that will surround the pan completely and that will be in physical contact with it, allowing the total support of the apparatus and avoiding lateral movements thereof. At the same time, in the upper part of this part, a horizontal stop of the same width as the edge of the pan will be placed which, like the previous one, in intimate contact with said edge will prevent the sinking of the product in the pan. In short, this part will have an "L" shape, inverted downwards, which will adapt to the wall and the edge of the pan to facilitate the perfect union of the utensil with it. Therefore, its diameter or the length of its perimeter should be such that it fits perfectly with the cooking utensil.

b. Una parte central que, unida a la anterior, permita la división real de la sartén 35 b. A central part that, together with the previous one, allows the real division of the pan 35

en dos mitades iguales. Esta parte será la que estará en contacto con los ingredientes utilizados en la elaboración de la tortilla de patata o la cocción de otro tipo de alimentos, de tal manera que permita verter en cada uno de los lados diferentes componentes que darán lugar a diferentes sabores, sin posibilidad de mezclarse entre sí. 5 in two equal halves. This part will be the one that will be in contact with the ingredients used in the preparation of the potato tortilla or the cooking of other types of food, in such a way that it allows to pour different components on each side that will give rise to different flavors, No possibility to mix with each other. 5

Estará conformada por un panel vertical, completamente plano y del grosor mínimo que permita dar la rigidez y solidez exigida al producto, irá unida al aro central mediante una varilla soldada o remachada a los laterales de dicha parte circular. Este panel se adaptará, tanto al diseño interior de la sartén, es decir a 10 su curvatura interior, como, claro está, a la profundidad de la misma. Su longitud, por tanto, será la del diámetro de la sartén elegida, quedando su parte superior a la altura del borde de la sartén. It will be formed by a vertical panel, completely flat and of the minimum thickness that allows to give the rigidity and solidity required to the product, it will be attached to the central ring by means of a welded rod or riveted to the sides of said circular part. This panel will adapt, both to the interior design of the pan, that is to say its inner curvature, as, of course, to the depth of it. Its length, therefore, will be that of the diameter of the chosen pan, leaving its upper part at the height of the edge of the pan.

c. La tercera parte estará unida al panel central. Estará unida al filo interior, es 15 decir, a la parte que estará pegando al fondo y paredes de la sartén. Consistirá en un ribete de un material cuya composición evite que al contactar dicho filo con esa parte de la sartén, o al moverse el utensilio de cocina expuesto, se produzcan roces que provoquen el rallado de la sartén o su daño. Además, este ribete, deberá ser colocado de forma que quede en el interior del panel y 20 no sobresalga por su lateral, para evitar que al extraer el aparato arrastre o deforme en su salida la parte de tortilla a la que está pegado, o levante cualquier tipo de alimento en fase de preparación. C. The third part will be attached to the central panel. It will be attached to the inner edge, that is, to the part that will be sticking to the bottom and walls of the pan. It will consist of a border of a material whose composition prevents that contacting said edge with that part of the pan, or when moving the exposed kitchen utensil, friction will occur that cause scratching of the pan or its damage. In addition, this edging should be placed so that it is inside the panel and 20 does not protrude from its side, to prevent the pull of the tortilla to which it is attached, or lift it from its exit Any type of food being prepared.

d. La última parte del utensilio será la de extracción y colocación del aparato. Irá 25 situado en la parte superior del panel vertical detallado en el punto b, en el centro, guardando equilibrio perfecto del peso de las dos mitades del utensilio de tal forma que el mismo no se ladee claramente hacia ningún lado en concreto. Este vástago podrá tener diferentes formas siendo la más adecuada aquella que permita extraer con total seguridad y comodidad el utensilio, 30 llegado el momento. Podría tener forma rectangular o curva, soldada, remachada o pegada sobre la varilla del panel horizontal, o ser simplemente un vástago vertical, como tal. Eso sí, deberá ir rodeado de una capa de material anti calórico que evite la quemadura del usuario al entrar en contacto con ella. d. The last part of the utensil will be the removal and placement of the device. It will be located at the top of the detailed vertical panel at point b, in the center, keeping perfect balance of the weight of the two halves of the utensil in such a way that it is not tilted clearly to any particular side. This rod may have different shapes, the most suitable being that which allows the utensil to be extracted with total safety and comfort, 30 when the time comes. It could have a rectangular or curved shape, welded, riveted or glued on the rod of the horizontal panel, or simply be a vertical rod, as such. Of course, it must be surrounded by a layer of anti-caloric material that prevents the user's burn when coming into contact with it.

El funcionamiento del utensilio será muy sencillo y cómodo. El usuario deberá colocar la sartén en la que va a elaborar la tortilla de patata u otros tipos de alimentos sobre el fuego, con el utensilio colocado en su lugar sobre la sartén, es decir, sobre y dentro de ella. En el caso de elaboración de tortillas de patata de sabores este acto deberá ser simultáneo ya que es fundamental y necesario que el panel adquiera la temperatura 5 adecuada antes de verter los ingredientes, y posteriormente durante su cocción, para que los bordes laterales de cada una de las partes de la tortilla vayan quedando sellados a través del calor transmitido hacia el panel central. Esto impedirá que, al quitar el utensilio de la sartén antes de darle la vuelta a la tortilla, cada una de las partes con distintos ingredientes se vuelvan a unir, con lo cual se mezclarían los 10 sabores, quedando el producto final indiferenciado. No obstante, al llevar el panel central en el fondo la banda de material anti ralladuras, es probable, en cuanto a la preparación de tortillas que en ese punto inferior no se produzca la separación total de la misma (si dicho material no es conductor del calor, 15 como así está presupuestado), lo que permitirá al darle la vuelta visualizar un producto homogéneo sin apariencias de corte, aumentando o manteniendo la sensación de unidad en el producto, pero con la división real en dos sabores o ingredientes de la misma. 20 BREVE DESCRIPCIÓN DE LOS DIBUJOS Para complementar la descripción que se está realizando y con objeto de ayudar a una mejor comprensión de las características de la invención, de acuerdo con un ejemplo preferente de realización práctica de la misma, se acompaña como parte integrante de 25 dicha descripción, un juego de figuras en donde, con carácter ilustrativo y no limitativo, se ha representado lo siguientes: La figura 1 muestra el desmontaje de la invención, con una vista esquemática posible de las piezas que, como realización preferente de la invención, conformarán el utensilio, y con la ubicación de cada una de ellas. 30 En la figura 2 podemos observar la vista de un corte sagital parcial del utensilio colocado sobre una sartén, en el que la línea horizontal observada se refiere únicamente al nivel de su ubicación sobre la misma. En la figura 3 observamos un corte frontal o coronal completo del utensilio, en el que aparece el cuerpo central completo de la invención. 35 The operation of the utensil will be very simple and comfortable. The user must place the pan in which he is going to make the potato tortilla or other types of food on the fire, with the utensil placed in its place on the pan, that is, on and inside it. In the case of elaboration of flavored potato tortillas, this act must be simultaneous since it is essential and necessary that the panel acquires the appropriate temperature 5 before pouring the ingredients, and later during cooking, so that the lateral edges of each of the parts of the tortilla are sealed through the heat transmitted to the central panel. This will prevent, when removing the utensil from the pan before turning the tortilla, each of the parts with different ingredients are reattached, which would mix the 10 flavors, leaving the final product undifferentiated. However, when the central panel is carried at the bottom of the strip of scratch-resistant material, it is probable, as for the preparation of tortillas, that at that lower point the total separation of the same does not occur (if said material is not conductive of the heat, 15 as it is budgeted), which will allow to turn around visualize a homogeneous product without cutting appearances, increasing or maintaining the feeling of unity in the product, but with the real division into two flavors or ingredients thereof. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the features of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization thereof, it is accompanied as an integral part of said description, a set of figures where, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented: Figure 1 shows the disassembly of the invention, with a possible schematic view of the parts which, as a preferred embodiment of the invention, they will conform the utensil, and with the location of each one of them. 30 In Figure 2 we can see the view of a partial sagittal cut of the utensil placed on a pan, in which the observed horizontal line refers only to the level of its location on it. In Figure 3 we see a complete frontal or coronal cut of the utensil, in which the complete central body of the invention appears. 35

La figura 4 muestra una vista cenital del utensilio ubicado en la sartén. La figura 5 muestra la vista cenital del utensilio colocado en la sartén, con una de las posibles reivindicaciones para una división doble del mismo, conformando cuatro apartados diferentes. La figura 6 muestra una vista cenital de la invención sin ser ubicada en la sartén. 5 La figura 7 muestra la terminación del cuerpo central con el producto antiadherente, sin sobrepasar el grosor de dicho cuerpo. REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓN 10 Como ya se ha mencionado, y tal y como aparece reflejado en las figuras representativas del producto, las distintas partes que lo componen pueden ser fabricadas con diferentes materiales. La primera parte circular (1), nombrada en la explicación de la invención como letra a, 15 en la que se incluirá la pestaña lateral (2) podrá ser elaborada con aluminio o con acero inoxidable, en ambos casos de un grosor suficiente que impida su alabeo. Estos materiales, además, son buenos conductores del calor, lo que será necesario para un correcto funcionamiento del utensilio. No obstante, pese a la preferencia por los materiales nombrados, en su fabricación podrán utilizarse otros materiales 20 conductores del calor (generalmente metales) que permitan dar al utensilio su uso característico. En cuanto a la segunda parte (3, 4), nombrada como parte b de la invención, en primer lugar la varilla (3) podrá ser fabricada en aluminio o en acero inoxidable. Por lo que 25 respecta al cuerpo central (4), al igual que la anterior, estará fabricada preferentemente en aluminio o en acero inoxidable, eso sí, deberá ser antiadherente o llevar un revestimiento de teflón (politetrafluoroetileno) o cualquier otro material que impida la adherencia de la tortilla o los alimentos a su superficie Indudablemente, los materiales utilizados deberán ser compatibles a la hora de su soldadura o de su unión 30 mediante remaches. De la misma manera, podrán utilizarse en su fabricación otros componentes que permitan la distribución del calor a través de ella y que sean antiadherentes o susceptibles de permitir el pegado de una capa de material antiadherente. 35 Figure 4 shows an overhead view of the utensil located in the pan. Figure 5 shows the overhead view of the utensil placed in the pan, with one of the possible claims for a double division thereof, forming four different sections. Figure 6 shows a zenith view of the invention without being located in the pan. 5 Figure 7 shows the termination of the central body with the non-stick product, without exceeding the thickness of said body. PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION 10 As already mentioned, and as it is reflected in the representative figures of the product, the different parts that compose it can be manufactured with different materials. The first circular part (1), named in the explanation of the invention as letter a, 15 in which the lateral flange (2) will be included may be made of aluminum or stainless steel, in both cases of a sufficient thickness that prevents your warping These materials are also good conductors of heat, which will be necessary for the proper functioning of the utensil. However, despite the preference for the named materials, other heat conductive materials (usually metals) may be used in their manufacture that allow the utensil to be given its characteristic use. As for the second part (3, 4), named as part b of the invention, first the rod (3) may be made of aluminum or stainless steel. As regards the central body (4), like the previous one, it will preferably be made of aluminum or stainless steel, but it must be non-stick or have a Teflon coating (polytetrafluoroethylene) or any other material that prevents Adhesion of the tortilla or food to its surface Undoubtedly, the materials used must be compatible at the time of welding or joining 30 by rivets. In the same way, other components that allow the distribution of heat through it and that are non-stick or capable of allowing the bonding of a layer of non-stick material can be used in its manufacture. 35

En cuanto a la banda anti ralladura (5), nombrada como parte c, que se acoplará en el filo inferior de la segunda parte del utensilio, decir que el material aplicable más común para la misma será la silicona apta para alimentación y cocina, por su capacidad de tolerancia al calor y su moldeabilidad. Sin embargo, se podrán utilizar otros materiales similares siempre que permitan el mismo uso. 5 Por último, el "asa" (6), por así llamarla, o parte c del utensilio, podrá estar fabricado también en aluminio o en acero inoxidable, cubierto por algún material que impida el contacto directo de la piel con el metal (goma, plástico, etc.), es decir, que aísle el metal de la piel, impidiendo que el usuario sufra quemaduras. No obstante, el material 10 con el que se fabrique podrá ser cualquier otro que aguante el calor y que permita una buena unión con el resto del cuerpo del utensilio sin perder las características señaladas para el mismo. As for the anti-scratch band (5), named as part c, which will be coupled on the lower edge of the second part of the utensil, say that the most common applicable material for it will be the silicone suitable for food and cooking, its ability to tolerate heat and its moldability. However, other similar materials may be used provided they allow the same use. 5 Finally, the "handle" (6), so to speak, or part c of the utensil, may also be made of aluminum or stainless steel, covered by some material that prevents direct skin contact with the metal (rubber) , plastic, etc.), that is, to insulate the metal from the skin, preventing the user from suffering burns. However, the material 10 with which it is manufactured may be any other that withstands the heat and that allows a good union with the rest of the body of the utensil without losing the characteristics indicated for it.
