FR2827750A1 - Shellfish opener for left or right hander comprises arm, with axis between positioning springs of oscillating collar, sharp blade and handle - Google Patents

Abstract

The shellfish opener for a left or right hander allows the opening operation in a single phase. The opener comprises an arm (H) with a connecting axis between two positioning springs (I,N) of an oscillating collar allowing longitudinal displacement on the rotational axis. The arm has a sharp blade (M), a handle in its extension and a second sharp blade fixed parallel to the first on a tipping flat for the left to right reversibility.

THE MOLLUSC OPENER
HIGH-YIELD LEFT-RIGHT
The subject of the invention is an apparatus comprising several improvements and solutions encountered in everyday life by the opening of molluscs in general, whether by a valid person or mainly by a person with a disabled arm, whether left or right handed. .

 The present invention therefore remedies these shortcomings by several innovations.

et secondairement en"ERTALON, matière synthétique semi-dure striée pour ma plaque d'appui et secondairement en matière synt et la poignée couramment utilisé dans l'industrie alimentaire, sans être bien évidemment non limitatif. L'invention sera fabriquée en deux niveaux. The manufacturing of the invention will be totally or mainly made of stainless material

and secondarily in "ERTALON, semi-hard synthetic material striated for my support plate and secondarily in synt material and the handle commonly used in the food industry, without being obviously not limiting. The invention will be manufactured in two levels.

 Level 1: installation plan on work table by both conventional and multiple attachments, on which comes a removable tank for collecting water, lime waste etc. mollusk residues thus offering a first feature.

 Level 2: plan 1 mollusc laying surface: this will have an oval-shaped opening perforated at its periphery with drainage holes and having a slight concavity at its entry allowing the oysters to be placed on the left or right side and also of sea urchin-type round shape, these are automatically housed and blocked in this oval-shaped hole. This solution is the second feature.

'" He
Level 2 plan 2 a receiving slap in semi-hard ERTALON material possibly stnate (material recognized by the various food controls) will serve as a counter support during the opening thrust of the mollusk by fitting in with its roughness and can be adjustable in height and depth for a finer adjustment when opening on large scales and thus replaceable, this designating the third feature.

 This plate will be arranged with multiple perforations surrounding the oval hole allowing water and residues to fall into the level 1 tank. Fourth feature.

 This plate will also be provided with two perpendicular axes located on either side of this oval hole where the knee lever of the opening arm will come to rest in the left or right position depending on whether the user is left or right handed. Fifth feature.

 Level 2 plane 3 opening arms: embellished with an axis connection between two positioning springs of an oscillating ring allowing longitudinal movement on the axis and rotation offering a rigidified and firm set in movement and position. This set giving a sixth feature.

 The opening arm will also be provided with a fine blade for a more frank and easier penetration in stainless steel DVR removable for left-handed and right-handed and its replacement

\ éventuel. Au niveau de la poignée une matière ERTALON semi-dure striée non limitatif pour une meilleure prise en main sera placé sur le prolongement du bras.

\ possible. At the handle, an ERTALON semi-hard ribbed non-limiting material for a better grip will be placed on the extension of the arm.

 The opening arm will also be provided with a second thin blade fixed in parallel with the first blade on a dish arranged in tilt and removable for left-handed reversibility, the dish being mounted on an axis with return spring and the other end of said dish a support area for the thumb in order to raise the blade and detach the cover from the mollusk at the end of the arm push. The assembly thus formed has the seventh peculiarity.

 Level 2 plan 4: The arm will also be fitted with a hooking system to fix a protection in the upper position such as a visor in order to retain the possible ejections of quills when opening sea urchins.

Claims (1)

CLAIM 1- Apparatus intended for the opening of molluscs, usable by a left-handed or a right-handed person characterized in that it comprises: -a plan of laying on work table on which comes to be posed a removable tank collecting water, calcareous waste etc ..., - a surface plan for laying molluscs having an oval-shaped opening perforated at its periphery with drainage holes and having a slight concavity at its entry allowing the oysters to be deposited on the left or right side and also round shape of the sea urchin type, these are housed and automatically blocked in this hole, - a receiving plate serving as a counter-support during the opening push of the mollusk by fitting in with its asperities, adjustable in height and in depth, this plate being provided with multiple perforations surrounding the oval hole allowing the flow of water, said plate also being provided with two perpendicular axes, on the one and a other of the hole, where the knee lever of the opening arm will come to rest in the left or right position depending on whether the user is left or right-handed, - an opening arm decorated with an axis connection between two positioning springs of a oscillating ring allowing longitudinal movement on the axis and rotation, said arm also being provided with a thin blade, a handle in its extension, a second thin blade fixed in parallel with the first on a flat arranged in flip-flop and removable for left-right-handed reversibility, the dish being mounted on an axis with return spring and at the other end of the dish a support area for the thumb in order to raise the blade and detach the cover from the mollusk at the end arm thrust, said arm also being provided with a fastening system for attaching a protection in the upper position, such as a visor, in order to retain any prick ejections during the opening of sea urchins.
