Abstract

The assembly has a base (1) grooved with an incurvation receiving an oyster (6). The incurvation has a stop (2) to block the assembly on an edge of a table, and an articulated plate (3) grooved with another incurvation. Fasteners or connecting rods (4) are articulated on axles (5, 5a), and connects the plate to the base such that the plate is raised or lowered when the oyster is introduced in the former incurvation.

Description

-1- Combiné cale huître modulable. La présente invention concerne le-1- Combined oyster wedge. The present invention relates to

concept d'un combiné cale huîtres modulable permettant de caler les coquillages de toutes formes et de tous gabarits de telle sorte à pouvoir les ouvrir facilement et sans risque de se blesser puisque ainsi calé, il n'y aura pas lieu de tenir le coquillage ou de poser la main dessus. 5- Ce combiné est composé d'une base (1) Fig.l, creusée d'une incurvation (1 bis), qui permettra de bien recevoir l'huître et équipé d'une butée (2), permettant de bloquer l'ensemble sur le rebord d'une table. Cette base est surmontée d'un bouclier (3), creusé d'une même incurvation (3bis) et relié à la base (1), par tout moyen lui permettant de se soulever ou se rabattre dans les 10 - sens des flèches (7) et (7bis) fig. 2, vue de profil, et également de balancer dans les sens des flèches (8) et (8bis). Ici ces fonctions sont obtenues par deux attaches ou biellettes (4) et (4 bis), placées des deux côtés du combiné et s'articulant sur les axes (5) et (5bis), pouvant être constitués entre autres, par des clous ou des vis. Ainsi lorsque l'on introduit l'huître (6), Fig.3, vue également de profil, pour la caler avant de 15 - l'ouvrir, le bouclier (3), se soulève ou se rabat dans les sens des flèches (7) et (7bis) fig. 2, et également dans les sens des flèches (8) et (8bis), afin de s'adapter à l'épaisseur du coquillage et à sa forme. Ces biellettes pourront être droites ou courbes telles que présentées fig.l. ce qui aura pour avantage de bien dégager l'ouverture du combiné, mais aussi d'ouvrir automatiquement le bouclier lorsque le combiné est posé 20 - sur la table par une poussée exercée sur la partie 4ter. de la biellette. Qui plus est, lorsque la valve supérieure de l'huître se soulève dans le sens de la flèche (8), sous la pression la lame du couteau (9), Fig. 3 , le bouclier (3), accompagnera le mouvement de la valve dans le sens de la flèche (8), pour ne pas gêner son ouverture. Ainsi, l'huître se trouvera bien calée sans que l'ouverture de la valve supérieure ne soit 25 - gênée en quoi que ce soit, permettant de l'ouvrir facilement et sans qu'il soit besoin de la tenir ou de mettre la main dessus, préservant de tout risque de se blesser même si la lame du couteau (9) dérape par inadvertance. Il pourra être conçu en tous matériaux et notamment, bois, métal et matières plastiques. Il pourra être utilisé pour tous les coquillages bivalves. the concept of a modular oyster shim combined to wedge seashells of all shapes and sizes so that they can be opened easily and without the risk of injury since they are so wedged, there will be no need to hold the shell or to lay a hand on it. 5- This handset is composed of a base (1) Fig.l, dug a curvature (1a), which will receive the oyster well and equipped with a stop (2), to block the together on the edge of a table. This base is surmounted by a shield (3), hollowed out of the same curvature (3a) and connected to the base (1), by any means allowing it to lift or fall back in the 10-direction of the arrows (7). ) and (7a) fig. 2, side view, and also to swing in the direction of the arrows (8) and (8a). Here these functions are obtained by two fasteners or rods (4) and (4a), placed on both sides of the handset and articulating on the axes (5) and (5a), which can be constituted inter alia by nails or screws. Thus when one introduces the oyster (6), Fig.3, also seen in profile, to wedge it before opening it, the shield (3), lifts or folds in the direction of the arrows ( 7) and (7a) fig. 2, and also in the direction of the arrows (8) and (8a), to adapt to the thickness of the shell and its shape. These rods may be straight or curved as shown fig.l. This will have the advantage of clearing the opening of the handset, but also to automatically open the shield when the handset is placed 20 - on the table by a push on the part 4ter. of the link. Moreover, when the upper valve of the oyster lifts in the direction of the arrow (8), under pressure the blade of the knife (9), Fig. 3, the shield (3), will accompany the movement of the valve in the direction of the arrow (8), to not hinder its opening. Thus, the oyster will be well wedged without the opening of the upper valve is - embarrassed in any way, allowing it to be opened easily and without the need to hold or put the hand above, preventing any risk of injury even if the knife blade (9) inadvertently skips. It may be designed in any material and in particular, wood, metal and plastics. It can be used for all bivalve shells.

Claims

claims

1) Combined modular oyster wedge making it possible to wedge shells of all shapes and sizes so that they can be opened easily and without risk of injury, characterized in that it consists of a base (1), hollowed out a curvature (1a) which receives the oyster and equipped with a stop (2), which blocks the whole - on the edge of a table and an articulated shield (3), dug a same incurvation (3bis) as the base (1).

2) Combined according to the preceding claim, characterized in that the shield (3) is connected to the base (1) by any means allowing it to lift or fall back in the direction of the arrows (7) and (7a) , and also to swing in the direction of the arrows (8) - and (8a).

3) Combined according to claim (2) characterized in that these means are constituted by two fasteners or rods (4) and (4a), placed on both sides of the handset and articulated on the axes (5) and (5bis ), constituted by inter alia nails or screws, these rods will be straight or curved so as to clear the opening of the handset, but also to automatically open the shield when the handset is placed on the table by a thrust exerted by the table on the part (4ter). of the link.

4) Combination according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that when the oyster (6) is introduced, to wedge before opening, the shield is raised or folded in the direction of the arrows ( 7) and (7a) and also in the directions - arrows (8) and (8a), in order to adapt to the thickness of the shell and its shape and thus well stall.

5) Combination according to any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that when the upper valve of the oyster is raised in the direction of the arrow (8), under the pressure of the blade of the knife, the shield (3) , accompanies the movement of the - valve in the direction of the arrow (8) to not hinder its opening. 5) Use of the handset according to the preceding claims, for the opening of all bivalve shells.
