FR2665851A1 - Safety device for elements which cut and sharpen - Google Patents

Abstract

Safety device for elements which cut and sharpen, particularly characterised in that it comprises two jaws A and B, the jaw A being stationary and the other jaw B being movable, the movable jaw being applied on the stationary jaw by means of its displacement according to an aperture 3 inclined downwards in the direction of the stationary jaw A. This displacement is effected by gripping of the handle F. This blocking device is equipped with a locking system obtained by pivoting the tab C equipped with its stub P actuated by the handle E. The safety device is equipped with a protective sleeve.

Description

The present invention relates to a safety device for manut2665851, sharp objects
and sharpening in particular.

It is particularly suitable for washing, sterilization, handling and storage, an operation which
requires staff movement.

It is common ground that the personnel of the agro-food industries and communities have no means
currently when washing, sterilizing, storing and handling sharp material and
safe belaying by blade protection by locked cell locking system. They didn't
the only way to take these sharp materials and other tools in their hands or to put them on
supports without any safety protection by locked blocking of the blades for washing, sterilization
tion, storage and handling.

 We can see the statistics of injuries due to this safety problem.

The present invention relates to a safety and hygiene device for the food industries, communities and all trades in the mouth (mechanical locking locked cutting elements and
other tools during handling and non-use).

The safety device for sharp objects and sharpening mainly comprises two ma
choirs A and B, the fixed jaw and the other movable jaw B. This denière coming to apply on the ma
fixed choir by its movement in a light inclined from bottom to top in the direction of the fixed jaw, the movement of the jaw taking place by gripping the handle F.

In addition, the device comprises a locking system composed of a piece C in the form of a lan.
watch which is articulated by the handle E When a pressure is made from this handle towards the handle F,
piece C fitted perpendicularly with a lug pivots on an axis D, the lug coming to be embedded in position
of the D axis and thus locks the jaws in their blade locking position.

According to a particular embodiment, a sheath can be fixed preferably on the jaw, the said
Furean being judiciously equipped for the reception of parts (in particular blades). This set
is in particular intended to be introduced into a sterilizer for the sterilization of objects, the so-called sterilizer
having a shape suitable for receiving the safety device. Said tub-shaped sterilizer is
designed to unlock the tongue C as soon as the sheath is fully engaged in the sterilizer, by pressing the tongue on one of the angles of the said sterilizer, this locking can be directly ef
carried out by lowering the handle E.

 Figure I is a sectional view of the safety device according to the invention.

Figure II is a perspective view of the sterilizer and the safety device incorporated in said
sterilizer.

In Figure I are presented the two possible positions of the safety device. In the dice position
locked jaws A and B, the movable jaw B is lowered (in position 1) and naturally comes to ap
puyer on a stop guide 2, formed by a return of the housings G fixed on either side of the jaw A.

When gripping the handle F the jaw B rises to come in @@ sition 6 leaning on the jaw A and consequently blocking the cutting or sharpening elements which @@@ ient have been placed between the jaws A and B.

 It is obviously important that the imprints have been provided on said jaws, in the shapes and dimensions corresponding to the objects to be blocked.

 A second handle E is articulated with the tongue C which, itself leverages a pivot fixed to the jaw B. When this handle is pressed, it raises and lowers the opposite end of the tongue in position 5 which ensures a locking of the two parts A and B thanks to the lug P which is fixed on the locking pin D.

 For correct use of the present invention, a sheath G is fixed on the jaw A, fixed, this sheath having a size suitable for the jaws A and B, the depth corresponds to the tools inserted, the thickness generally goes bevel towards the background in a particular, but not exhaustive, embodiment.

 The sheath is equipped with horizontal rods H, I, J, etc ... connected to the casings and preventing dangerous movements while allowing perfect cleaning and stabilization. In general, a protective plate K is placed at the base of the sheath.

 In Figure I, appears the handle L of a knife placed between the two jaws in the locked position.

 In Figure I is shown in section the sterilization tank Q, the dimensions and design of which are designed to receive the safety device. We can see in particular the system for unlocking the tongue C and its lug P in position 4 by support of the end on the upper edge of the sterilizer. This includes at its base a rapid emptying system M, a water filling calibrated in flow N, and in its upper part an overflow of water degreasing judiciously placed so as to sterilize the knife guard.

 Figure 2 does not call for any particular comment, it is intended to present all of the sterilizer and safety device incorporated.

Claims (1)

Claim I: safety device for handling sharp objects and sharpenings, in particular characterized in that it comprises two jaws A and B, one A fixed, the other B mobile. The movable jaw coming to be applied on the fixed jaw by its displacement in the direction of the fixed jaw A. Claim 2: device according to claim I characterized in that the displacement takes place according to an inoline light 3. Claim 3: device according to one or the other of the preceding claims, characterized in that the movement is effected by gripping the handle F. Claim 4: device according to either of the preceding claims, characterized in that a locking device 5 comprising a part C articulated by the handle E, which by the simple fact of a pressure towards the handle F makes it pivot on a locking piece. Claim 5: device according to one or the other of the claims. previous characterized in that the locking is effected by the lug P located on the part C which is embedded in the lower position of the axis D and thus locks the jaws in their blade locking position. Claim 6: device according to one or the other of the claims. previous characterized in that a sheath or Carter G of fixed protection is fixed on the jaw A. This sheath or casing G is sized according to the cutting elements positioned. This sleeve or casing G is equipped with horizontal rods H.I.J. and connected to the housings. In general, a protective plate E is placed at the base of the sheath. Claim 7: device according to either of the preceding claims, characterized in that in its introduction into the sterilizer is designed so as to unlock the part C, when the sheath is fully engaged in the sterilizer, by pressing this piece C on one of the upper corners of the sterilization tanks. This unlocking can also be carried out by the handle E.
