CARVING FORK.
Application filed February 12,1927, Serial No. 167,655, and in Great Britain February 17, 1926'.
This invention relates to devices of the type which are to be detachably or otherwise ap plied to carving forks to assist same in holding the joint or the like that is being carved and to protect the user against risk of accidents, and my present invention consists in so constructing said devices that they may be readily applied to a carving fork in well known manner and which when thus applied will enable the user to more firmly grip the joint being carved than has heretofore been possible bydevices of this character for the reason that my said device not only affords protection against the user being accidentally cut, but by the additional projections extend ing from it gives a firmer grip upon the oint or the like that is being carved.
In carrying my invention into effect I make use of the device illustrated by the accompanying sheet of drawings in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation of my improved device showing its application to an ordinary carving fork.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the parts shown by Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the parts shown by Fig. 1 as seen in the direction look ing from right to left of said figure.
42 is a sectional elevation taken on line A. B. of Fig. 1 and shows the device as seen in a direction looking from left to right of said figure.
To attain the object of my invention I form the device a so that the main body part 2 of same may extend over the prongs b, b of the fork while said prongs b and 6 will extend through openings 3 made in the downwardly bent part 4 of the device a.
lhe body part 2 is further split or so shaped that a tongue-part 5 is made to extend from said body part 2 in order that it may be bent at 5 (as shown by Fig. 1) to grip the part N- of the fork, while the extension 6 of the device a is bent and curved to afford protection and prevent the knife slipping and cutting the hand of the carver as is well known.
The bent part of the device a has sharpened projections 7 and"? at its corners, as is shown by the several drawings, while in a central position, and also extending forward, is another sharpened projection 8.
hen the device a is applied and mounted in position as shown by the drawings the user on forcing the prongs b, b of the fork 0 into the joint, meat or the like that has to be cut or carved, the prongs 7, 7 and 8 may also be forced into the joint of meat or the like there to lay hold of or grip same in order to secure it more firmly than it is possible so to do by the simple use of the prongs b and Z2 As is shown the device may be readily applied to the usual form of carving for from which it may equally readily be detached. Or said device may be fixed to the fork by rivets or screws as may be found advantageous.
It is obvious that instead of the body part 2 being formed or shaped so that the holding part 5 and the extension 6 may be made integrally therewith as described, said parts may be riveted or otherwise secured to the body part 2 while again said body part 2 instead of being merely bent to form the front surface 4, said front surface may be riveted to said body part 2 and the prongs may be of different formation or shape, since said prongs may also be riveted to the part 4 instead of being formed integrally therewith by the process of bending as is shown by the drawings.
Although the device is shown as being detachable from the prongs of the fork it is obvious that the projection 6 which acts as a guard for the user and the lateral projecting arms l carrying the prongs 7 and 7 and the central prong 8 may be formed integral with the prongs b of the fork although for cheap ness of production the device constructed as illustrated is preferred.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, what I claim is 1. In a carving fork projecting arms ar ranged to extend laterally from the prongs of said fork and to have a sharpened projection at or near each of the extremities of said arms as well as in a central position between said extremities.
2. In a carving fork, projecting arms ar ranged to extend laterally from the prongs of said fork and at a suitable distance behind the outer ends of said prongs with projections extending forward from said lateral arms and a vertically extending curved portion to guard the user against accidents as set forth.
3. In a carving fork arms extending laterally from the prongs of said fork anddebody part for supporting said lateral arms and projections, a spring portion for engaging With the fork to secure the lateral arms in position thereon and a guard extending from the body part Which secures the lateral arms and sharpened projections.
