Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection system between a handle and a body of a kitchen utensil, especially between a handle of any material and a exteriorly-enamelled body of a kitchen utensil.
  • a kitchen utensil provided with a body and at least one handle can be made in such a way that the handle and the body of the utensil constitute a single piece.
  • the handle and the body of the utensil can be independent pieces which are connected to each other by a specific connection system.
  • the prior art contains a large number of different connection systems for connecting a handle to a body of a kitchen utensil.
  • a first system applicable to utensils whose body presents an exterior metallic surface is to weld the handle to said exterior metallic surface.
  • the handle is usually connected to said exterior surface by screws or other mechanical fixing means.
  • the drawback of the handle-body union made by means of screws or other similar mechanical connecting means is that the union may work loose during the useful life of the kitchen utensil. In fact, it is common to see in a large number of kitchen utensils how the handles oscillate in relation to the body, giving an impression of poor quality and, most importantly, impacting on safety when the utensil is used.
  • the present invention aims to offer a connection system between the body and a handle of a utensil, where said system comprises the connection of screws or other mechanical fixing means, and where said system guarantees the correct and lasting tightening of the fixing means throughout the useful life of the utensil.
  • the connection system of the invention by means of the connection system of the invention, the tightening between the handle and the body becomes greater as the fixing means are gradually inserted, which helps guarantee that when the fixing means are completely connected they will not eventually loosen up.
  • the fixing means are preferably mechanical, and within this type, preferably screws.
  • the fixing means may be accessed from the exterior of the handle, in such a way that in the event that they are screws, the screws are visible from the exterior of the utensil.
  • said kitchen utensil may additionally comprise other handles connected by means of other different connection systems.
  • the invention may be applied very advantageously to kitchen utensils in which the exterior surface of the body is enamelled, although its application to other kitchen utensils of other materials is also contemplated.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective of an embodiment of a body of a kitchen utensil provided with the inventive connection system.
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective of an embodiment of a handle of a kitchen utensil provided with the inventive connection system.
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional side view of a kitchen utensil that comprises the handle and the body of the preceding figures, connected to each other by means of said preferred embodiment of the inventive connection system.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective of an embodiment of a body ( 2 ) of a kitchen utensil provided with the inventive connection system.
  • the body ( 2 ) has an exterior surface ( 9 ) from which, in the embodiment of the figure, a protruding element ( 5 ) projects outwardly.
  • the protruding element ( 5 ) has a U-shaped cross-section, i.e. is provided with an intermediate face ( 13 ) and two lateral faces ( 14 ).
  • the fixing means are two screws that are to be connected to two threaded holes ( 10 ) present on the intermediate face ( 13 ) of the protruding element ( 5 ).
  • FIG. 2 shows a perspective of an embodiment of a handle ( 3 ) of a kitchen utensil provided with the inventive connection system.
  • the handle ( 3 ) comprises a front surface ( 8 ) designed to enter into contact with the exterior surface ( 9 ) of the body ( 2 ) of FIG. 1 .
  • Said front surface ( 8 ) preferably presents a geometry (curvature, dimensions, etc.) that is substantially the same to the exterior surface ( 9 ) of the body ( 2 ) of the FIG. 1 .
  • the handle ( 3 ) comprises an elongated gripping area ( 12 ) provided with an interior cavity ( 6 ) designed to receive the protruding element ( 5 ) of the body ( 2 ) of FIG. 1 .
  • the handle ( 3 ) comprises two holes ( 11 ) which, once the interior cavity ( 6 ) has received the protruding element ( 5 ), coincide approximately with the threaded holes ( 10 ) of the protruding element ( 5 ) to enable the connection of the screws.
  • FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional side view of a kitchen utensil ( 1 ) that comprises the body ( 2 ) of FIG. 1 and the handle ( 3 ) of FIG. 2 , connected to each other by means of the preferred embodiment of the inventive connection system based on the use of two screws ( 4 ), which was already introduced in the description of the preceding figures.
  • the screws ( 4 ) exert a force (F) on the rest of the elements, where said force (F) may be broken down into a tangential component (F 1 ) and a component which is orthogonal (F 2 ) to the exterior surface ( 9 ) of the body ( 2 ).
  • the dimensions of the protruding element ( 5 ) of the body ( 2 ) and the interior cavity ( 6 ) of the handle ( 3 ) are such that when both elements ( 5 , 6 ) are assembled there is not a tight fitting but a slight looseness between them ( 5 , 6 ).
  • the protruding element ( 5 ) is inserted in the interior cavity ( 6 )
  • the screws ( 4 ) are fitted and the tightening of the screws ( 4 ) begins, the front surface ( 8 ) is substantially seated on the exterior surface ( 9 ).
  • the tangential component (F 1 ) of the force (F) causes a slight surface displacement of the front surface ( 8 ) of the handle ( 3 ) in relation to the exterior surface ( 9 ) of the body ( 2 ), and the orthogonal component (F 2 ) of the force (F) causes the tightening of the handle ( 3 ) against the exterior surface ( 9 ) of the body ( 2 ).
  • This combination of a slight surface displacement and a slight tightening of two surfaces ( 8 , 9 ) which at first were substantially seated creates a wedge effect, i.e. an additional tightening between both surfaces ( 8 , 9 ) that is proven to contribute to the gripping of the screws ( 4 ) during the useful life of the kitchen utensil ( 1 ).
  • the screws ( 4 ) may be accessed from the exterior of the handle ( 3 ).
  • the invention is feasible with one or more screws ( 4 ), although the use of two screws ( 4 ) advantageously results in a compromise solution between the tightening that is achieved and the number of fixing means to be used.
