Definitions

  • the present invention relates to household graters which comprise, in a known manner, a magazine adapted to contain the substance to be grated and pivotally mounted at the end of a handle, a rotary drum forming a grater secured to a crank and closing the outlet opening of said magazine, and a pusher pivotally connected to the handle and adapted to penetrate into the magazine so as to press against the drum the substance to be grated contained in the magazine.
  • the locking elements are secured to the pusher and/or to the lever which supports same.
  • the locking element is formed by the pusher itself which oo-operates with an inner surface of the magazine.
  • the locking element is formed by heels or the like which are secured to the lever supporting the pusher and which co-operate with an outer face of the magazine.
  • the invention furthermore includes other fea tures which will become apparent from the ensuing description and from the accompanying drawing, in which:
  • Fig. 1 shows an elevational view of a grater according .to the invention in the open position (continuous lines) and in the operative position (.dot-and-dash lines).
  • Fig. 2 is an end view thereof.
  • Fig. 3 is a plan view thereof.
  • Fig. 4 is an elevational view thereof in part section along the line IVIV of Fig. 3, the grater being assumed to be in the operative position and the pusher at the end of its travel.
  • Fig. 5 is a similar view to that of Fig. 3, showing 'a modification of a grater according to the invention.
  • Fig. 6 shows this modified grater in the operative position.
  • the grater shown in Figs. 1 to 4 comprises a handle formed by a wire I shaped as shown in Fig. 3 and reinforced by a sheet metal plate 2.
  • the front end of said wire is bent so as to form a cradle 3 forming the lower part of the support intended to receive the rotary drum II, the
  • a lever 5 To the rear part of the wire I forming the handle is pivotally connected, at 4, a lever 5, the front end of which supports in a known manner the curved pusher 6 adapted to engage in the magazine 8 and press against the substances to be grated.
  • the magazine 8 containing the substances to be grated is pivotally connected at l to the front part of the wire forming the cradle 3. It should be noted that the hinge 1 extends substantially over the entire width of the magazine 8 so as to effect a perfect guiding during the rocking movement of said magazine.
  • the lower side edge 9 of the magazine 8 is so shaped as to form the upper part of the support in which is journalled the drum H which is prevented from effecting any lateral movement by the flanges Ila.
  • the edge 9 is reinforced by ribs l0 preferably formed by stamping.
  • the rear wall of the magazine 8 is provided at its medial portion with a vertical slot through which the front end of the lever 5 passes when the pusher 6 engages in the magazine 8 (see Fig. 4)
  • the system is so arranged that the rear edge 60: of the pusher 6 moves in the immediate vicinity of the inner face of the rear wall of the magazine 8 on the one hand, and that in the final position of the pusher '6 said edge Ba is located at a level substantially above the plane of the hinge 1.
  • the elements of the grater assume the position shown in Fig. 1.
  • the magazine 8 is swung outwards, the rotary drum II is removed, and the lever ii supporting the pusher 6 is raised so as to render accessible the angle formed between said lever and the handle.
  • the rotary drum II is placed on the cradle 3. It should be noted that the drum may be arranged indiscriminately in such a manner that its crank 12 is located on the right or on the left (position Rd in dotted lines), thereby enabling the grater to be used by a right-handed or by a left-handed person.
  • the magazine 8 When the drum I l is in position, the magazine 8 is swung down on to same according to Fig. 4 so as to enclose the drum in its support formed by the cradle 3 and the lower edge 9 of the magazine 3, the axial movement of the drum being prevented by the lateral flanges Ila.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 show a modification in which the magazine 8 is hinged in such a manner that it can pivot towards the handle.
  • the magazine 8 is hinged by means of two tongues M to the cradle 3 so that it can swing towards the handle.
  • the lever 5 supporting the pusher 6 is provided at its front part and a short distance from the rear edge of the pusher 6, with heels E5, the whole arrangement being such that the rear wall l6 of the magazine 8 is confined between the rear edge of the pusher 6 and the heels I5 as soon as the pusher 6 is engaged in the magazine 8 and the front part of the lever 5 penetrates into the vertical slot l3.
  • the front edge 6b of the pusher 6 moreover forms an abutment which prevents any swinging of the front wall of the magazine.
  • the operation of this embodiment is similar to that explained with reference to the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 4.
  • the lever 5 is raised ,so as to disengage the pusher 6 from the magazine 8, thereby enabling saidmagazine to be swung down towards the handle and thus releasing the drum II which can then be removed.
  • the operation is effected in the opposite order.
  • the crank of the drum can be indiscriminately placed on the right (position l2 in Fig. 5) or on the left (position [2a in dot-and-dash lines), as in the previous embodiment.
