Abstract

The procedure consists of placing the oysters (6) inside a basket (2) which is rotated at 1000 rpm by a 220V electric motor inside a container (3) for about 2 minutes. After centrifuging, which causes them to lose some of their water, the oysters are left to rest for about ten minutes. A knife can then be inserted into each partially-open oyster to cut the muscle. The motor used to drive the basket containing the oysters rests on a rubber vibration damper (4), and it is actuated by a switch (5) on the container so that it rotates only when the lid is closed.

Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé qui facilite l'ouvertureThe present invention relates to a method which facilitates opening

des huîtres.oysters.

Quelques inventeurs ont proposé des solutions pour faciliter l'ouverture des huitres. (exemples: couteaux de toutes sortes, fil à couper le muscle, meulage de la coquille). Toutes ces solutions ont contribué au développement du marché de l'huître, mais leur utilisation reste encore marginales. Certaines de ces propositions nécessitent un surplus de manipulation, occasionnant une  Some inventors have proposed solutions to facilitate the opening of oysters. (examples: knives of all kinds, wire to cut the muscle, grinding of the shell). All these solutions have contributed to the development of the oyster market, but their use is still marginal. Some of these proposals require additional handling, causing

augmnentation du prix de vente de l'huître.  increase in the selling price of the oyster.

La plupart des gens ouvrent toujours les huîtres de façon traditionnelle avec un couteau, cela comporte plusieurs inconvénients: - Un risque de blessure aux mains important -De nombreux morceaux de coquille sur la chair de l'huître, ce qui est fortement désagréable Devant ces difficultés de nombreuses personnes renoncent à  Most people always open the oysters in the traditional way with a knife, this has several disadvantages: - A significant risk of injury to the hands - Many pieces of shell on the flesh of the oyster, which is highly unpleasant Faced with these difficulties many people give up

consommer des huîtres.consume oysters.

Le procédé selon l'invention permet de remédier à ces inconvénients  The method according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks

car il permet l'entrebaillement naturel des deux valves de l'huître.  because it allows the natural overlapping of the two oyster valves.

Description du procédé selon l'invention:  Description of the process according to the invention:

En premier lieu, il est nécessaire de placer les huîtres ( 12 par exemple) dans une centrifuigeuse adaptée, décrite ci-après: En référence au dessin annexé la centrifiugeuse comporte les éléments suivant:  Firstly, it is necessary to place the oysters (12 for example) in a suitable centrifuge, described below: With reference to the attached drawing, the centrifuge comprises the following elements:

1- Un moteur électrique 220 volts à vitesse réglable.  1- A 220 volt electric motor with adjustable speed.

2- Un panier alvéolé pour recevoir les huîtres.  2- A honeycomb basket to receive the oysters.

3- Un bac de rétention qui assure également la  3- A retention tank which also ensures the

présentation de l'appareil.presentation of the device.

4- Un amortisseur de vibration en caoutchouc.  4- A rubber vibration damper.

- IJn interrupteur qui autorise la rotation du moteur  - IJn switch which allows the rotation of the motor

uniquement si le couvercle est fenné.  only if the cover is closed.

Les huîtres devront subir une rotation, dans la centrifuigeuse  The oysters must be rotated in the centrifuge

précitée, de 1000 tours par minute pendant deux minutes environ.  above, 1000 revolutions per minute for about two minutes.

Les huîtres perdent leur première eau, ce qui est très recommandé  Oysters lose their first water, which is highly recommended

par les maîtres en cuisine.by the masters in the kitchen.

Les huîtres seront retirées de la centrifuigeuse et laissées à plat pendant une dizaine de minutes environ. C'est alors que l'on constate l'entrebaillement des deux valves. Cependant si la température des huîtres est inférieure à dix degrés l'entrebâillement sera plus long, voire inexistant en dessous de cinq degrés. Il ne reste plus qu'à sectionner le muscle en introduisant un couteau  The oysters will be removed from the centrifuge and left flat for about ten minutes. It is then that we notice the interlocking of the two valves. However, if the temperature of the oysters is lower than ten degrees the opening will be longer, even nonexistent below five degrees. It only remains to cut the muscle by inserting a knife

dans l'huître entrouverte.in the half-open oyster.

Le procédé selon l'invention s'inscrit tout à fait dans mun esprit d'encouragement des ventes de ce mollusque très apprécié des Français, puisqu'il facilite grandement leur ouverture, handicap  The process according to the invention is entirely in keeping with the spirit of encouraging sales of this mollusc which is very popular with the French, since it greatly facilitates their opening, handicap

majeur à leur consommation pour beaucoup de personnes.  major consumption for many people.

Le coût du dispositif ne représentera pas un investissement très 1 5 important dans l'équipement des ménages. On peutit également envisager un modèle plus important pour les restaurateurs et les traiteurs. Le prix de la douzaine d'huîtres sur le marché ne devrait pas subir d'augmentation car le procédé selon l'invention ne nécessite pas  The cost of the device will not represent a very large investment in household equipment. We can also consider a larger model for restaurateurs and caterers. The price of a dozen oysters on the market should not undergo an increase because the process according to the invention does not require

de manipulations supplémentaires sur l'huître.  additional handling on the oyster.
