DEVICE TO FACILITATE FISHING AND FILELING OF FISH

The invention relates to a device for facilitating the perching and filleting of fish. The fish are handled on the working platform of the device, to which the fish can be securely fastened from the tail with a latch.

5 Devices made for the same purpose are already known, for example in the USA 3,908,231, 3,500,495 and 3,526,925. These known devices have not been on the Finnish market. In our households, fish are usually cleaned by holding fish by hand on a cutting board. . Electrically powered fish also uses rotating rasp. In this case, too, the fish is held by hand. In addition, a Finnish design-protected product called "Kalahara" is known, in which a metal spring-loaded clip is fastened to the plastic base with screws.

The main disadvantage of these known devices is their unnecessarily complicated structure and thus also the inconvenience of use. American devices have parts from eleven to eleven to twenty. It is certainly unprofitable to make these. The Kalahara device also has eleven parts, not all of which may be stainless. The device is difficult to clean due to the housing-like shape of the clamp. In addition, the spring of the clamp 25 always compresses the fish with the same force, regardless of the size of the fish, so it is not certain that even a large fish will be properly caught in all work steps. The selling price of this device also seems high in relation to the benefits. The disadvantage of the traditional fish handling method is the difficulty of controlling slippery, fresh fish. When one hand tries to hold a fish and the other uses a sharp tool, occupational safety is also very questionable. In any case, the work is inefficient and painful.

The lack of a conscientious and reasonably priced fish processing equipment causes a loss to the national economy; Small-scale fish (perch, roach, bream, etc.) obtained by recreational fishing are often not used for human consumption. The production of larger precious fish (salmon, whitefish, pike, etc.) is also repulsive due to the difficulty of processing. Thus, healthy and inexpensive fish as a raw material for food is often replaced by fatty and more expensive products. These 10 disadvantages are therefore also public health.

By means of the device according to the invention, the processing of fish into food can be substantially facilitated. Thus, a decisive improvement in the above drawbacks is obtained. To achieve this, the invention is characterized in that a latch comprising a jaw (4a) larger than the hole (2) and a locking hook (4b) reducing the hole (2) is passed through the relay (2) in the work platform (1) in the longitudinal direction of the work platform (1). 4), whose jaw (4a) is pressed by lever against the base of the fish tail and which is locked in the pressing position by pressing the locking hook (4b) at the end of the latch onto the end of the base.

The main advantage of the invention is its simple and durable structure. This keeps manufacturing costs low. The device is easy to use and clean. Occupational safety is significantly improved when using the device. It is also noteworthy that the compressive force of the latch increases with the size of the fish, i.e. the thickness of the tail. It can be considered a general advantage that the widespread use of the device would change the eating habits in favor of fish dishes and that small fish would also be better utilized for 30 minutes.

In the following, the invention will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 shows a top view of the working platform of the device.

Figure 2 shows the latch of the device and the end 35 of the base in section from the side.

Figure 3 shows the latch side end of the device in a perspective view.

Figures 4 and 5 show the operation of the device,

Figures 6 and 7 show the cleaning of the device.

The device according to the invention consists of a work platform 1 (Figures 1 and 3) which has holes 2 5 and 3 at one end and a latch 4 (Figures 2 and 3). The hole 2 in the base is for the passage of the latch. The jaw of the latch, on the other hand, is larger than the hole in question, so that the latch cannot fall off the base arbitrarily. Hole 3 allows a squeezing grip to be obtained when locking and unlocking the latch. The thickness of the base relative to the shape of the latch 15 is such that a compressive force is generated against the base by the lever force of the latch when the device is pressed against a table, for example. The clamping force of the jaw can be adjusted by bending the latch.

Action: Figures 4 and 5.

20 a) The latch is opened with a pinch grip with the thumb from the jaw and with the index finger from the hole in the base 3.

b) The fish's tail is inserted between the chin and the base.

c) Press the device against the table.

d) The locking hook is pressed onto the end of the board with a squeezing motion with the thumb of the supports from hole 3.

After machining, the tail is released by repeating step a.

Cleaning: Figures 6 and 7.

e) Thread the latch upwards from the base.

30 f) The latch is turned backwards.

g) Lift the latch off the base and rinse the parts.

The platform can be used on both sides as the latch can be assettaa on either side of any time. Thanks to the symmetry, the device is suitable for both right- and left-handed people.

The materials used for the device are mainly different types of wood or hard plastics for the base and aluminum pressed into the profile for the latch. However, this is not intended to limit the materials of the invention. Applications of shapes and dimensions are also possible within the scope of the inventive idea defined by the following claim.
