Description

MACHINE A FABRIQUER DES SUSHIS ET DES MAKIS  MACHINE FOR MANUFACTURING SUSHIS AND MAKIS
La présente invention concerne une machine à fabriquer des sushis et des makis. The present invention relates to a machine for making sushi and maki.
Un sushi est un plat d'origine japonaise qui comprend une boulette de riz, de forme plus ou moins oblongue, recouverte partiellement d'un ou plusieurs morceaux d'un autre ingrédient, en général un morceau de poisson ou de fruit de mer (calamar, oursin). Cet autre ingrédient est le plus souvent cru.  A sushi is a dish of Japanese origin that includes a rice dumpling, more or less oblong, partially covered with one or more pieces of another ingredient, usually a piece of fish or seafood (squid , sea urchin). This other ingredient is most often believed.
Le sushi peut éventuellement comprendre en outre une bande d'algue séchée qui maintient le morceau d'ingrédient sur la boulette de riz, et a une fonction décorative.  The sushi may optionally further include a dried seaweed web that holds the piece of ingredient on the rice pellet, and has a decorative function.
La variété de riz utilisée pour réaliser le sushi est de préférence une variété collante, de telle sorte que la boulette, une fois compactée, conserve cette forme.  The variety of rice used to make the sushi is preferably a tacky variety, so that the pellet, once compacted, retains this shape.
Un maki est distinct d'un sushi tel que défini ci-dessus, et comprend un rouleau de riz entouré d'une feuille d'algue séchée. En général, un ou des morceaux d'ingrédients sont enroulés avec le riz à l'intérieur de la feuille d'algue. La feuille d'algue contribue à maintenir le riz en forme de rouleau. Une fois la feuille d'algue enroulée autour du riz, le maki est coupé en morceaux dans un sens transversal.  A maki is distinct from a sushi as defined above, and comprises a roll of rice surrounded by a dried seaweed leaf. In general, one or more pieces of ingredients are wrapped with the rice inside the seaweed leaf. The seaweed leaf helps to keep the rice in the form of a roll. Once the seaweed wrapped around the rice, the maki is cut into pieces in a transverse direction.
La réalisation des sushis et des makis est traditionnellement effectuée à la main. Cependant cette préparation manuelle est longue et fastidieuse.  The making of sushi and maki is traditionally done by hand. However, this manual preparation is long and tedious.
On connaît des machines, actionnées manuellement, qui permettent de réaliser des sushis. On connaît également des machines, actionnées manuellement, qui permettent de réaliser des makis.  Known machines, manually operated, which allow to make sushi. Also known are machines, manually operated, which make makis.
Cependant, lorsqu'un cuisinier dans un restaurant (ou un particulier) souhaite réaliser à la fois des sushis et des makis, il lui est nécessaire d'utiliser deux machines distinctes, ce qui n'est pas pratique. De plus, ces machines prennent plus de place en stockage, et lors de déplacements, il est nécessaire de transporter les deux machines.  However, when a cook in a restaurant (or an individual) wants to make both sushi and maki, it is necessary to use two separate machines, which is not practical. In addition, these machines take more space in storage, and when traveling, it is necessary to transport both machines.
La présente invention vise à remédier à ces inconvénients.  The present invention aims to remedy these disadvantages.
L'invention vise à proposer une machine qui permette de réaliser à la fois des sushis et des makis, et qui soit la plus compacte possible. Ce but est atteint grâce au fait que cette machine comprend un enrouleur destiné à réaliser un maki, une presse destinée à compacter au moins une boulette de riz apte à être utilisée pour réaliser un sushi, et un actionneur unique destiné à actionner cet enrouleur et/ou cette presse. The invention aims to provide a machine that allows for both sushi and maki, and that is as compact as possible. This object is achieved thanks to the fact that this machine comprises a winder for making a maki, a press intended to compact at least one rice dumpling adapted to be used to make a sushi, and a single actuator intended to actuate this reel and / or or this press.
Grâce à ces dispositions, des sushis et des makis peuvent être réalisés en actionnant un seul et unique actionneur, ce qui conduit à une machine plus compacte.  With these provisions, sushi and maki can be achieved by operating a single actuator, which leads to a more compact machine.
Avantageusement, l'actionneur actionne l'enrouleur et la presse simultanément.  Advantageously, the actuator actuates the winder and presses it simultaneously.
Ainsi, il est possible de réaliser des sushis et des makis ensemble, et donc on peut réaliser plus de sushis et de makis en un temps donné.  Thus, it is possible to make sushi and maki together, and so we can make more sushi and maki in a given time.
L'invention sera bien comprise et ses avantages apparaîtront mieux, à la lecture de la description détaillée qui suit, d'un mode de réalisation représenté à titre d'exemple non limitatif.

La machine 1 selon l'invention comprend un enrouleur 10 servant à réaliser un maki, une presse 20 servant à compacter plusieurs boulettes de riz dont chacune permet de réaliser un sushi, et un actionneur 30 apte à actionner l'enrouleur 10 et la presse 20. The machine 1 according to the invention comprises a winder 10 for producing a maki, a press 20 for compacting several pellets of rice each of which makes it possible to produce a sushi, and an actuator 30 able to actuate the reel 10 and the press 20.
Par exemple cet actionneur 30 est situé au centre de la machine sensiblement entre l'enrouleur 10 et la presse 20.  For example, this actuator 30 is located in the center of the machine substantially between the reel 10 and the press 20.
Dans la description qui suit, l'actionneur 30 est un levier. D'autres types actionneurs sont possibles.  In the following description, the actuator 30 is a lever. Other types of actuators are possible.
Les figures 1 et 2 sont des premières vues en perspective de la machine 1 qui montrent le fonctionnement de l'enrouleur 10. Ce fonctionnement est décrit ci-après.  Figures 1 and 2 are first perspective views of the machine 1 which show the operation of the winder 10. This operation is described below.
L'enrouleur 10 comprend un premier bati 11 sensiblement en forme de U, les parois latérales 111 et 113 du U entourant un espace central 112 de forme rectangulaire. Les parois latérales 111 et 113 s'étendent selon un axe A qui est l'axe longitudinal de la machine 1, et sont reliés entre eux à leurs extrémités inférieures par des traverses de façon à former un ensemble rigide.  The reel 10 comprises a first frame substantially U-shaped, the side walls 111 and 113 of the U surrounding a central space 112 of rectangular shape. The side walls 111 and 113 extend along an axis A which is the longitudinal axis of the machine 1, and are interconnected at their lower ends by cross members so as to form a rigid assembly.
L'enrouleur 10 comprend également un rotor 12, qui comprend deux disques 121 et 123, qui sont chacun insérés dans un logement circulaire dans une des parois latérales 111 et 113 respectivement, de telle sorte que chaque disque 121 et 123 peut pivoter dans ce logement autour d'un premier axe transversal B commun. Ce premier axe transversal B est perpendiculaire à l'axe longitudinal A. Chaque disque 121 et 123 comprend des encoches 1215 et 1235 réparties sur leur circonférence.  The reel 10 also comprises a rotor 12, which comprises two disks 121 and 123, which are each inserted in a circular recess in one of the side walls 111 and 113 respectively, so that each disc 121 and 123 can pivot in this housing around a first transverse axis B common. This first transverse axis B is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A. Each disc 121 and 123 comprises notches 1215 and 1235 distributed around their circumference.
Chaque disque 121 et 123 comporte également sur sa face externe un pignon 1218 et 1238 respectivement. Les faces internes des disques 121 et 123 sont les faces qui sont en regard, les faces externes sont les faces opposées. Les pignons 1218 et 1238 sont alignés sur le premier axe transversal B et sont munis de dents sur leur circonférence.  Each disc 121 and 123 also has on its outer face a pinion 1218 and 1238 respectively. The inner faces of the discs 121 and 123 are the facing faces, the outer faces are the opposite faces. The pinions 1218 and 1238 are aligned on the first transverse axis B and are provided with teeth on their circumference.
L'enrouleur 10 comprend également un tapis 13 rectangulaire qui se loge dans l'espace central 112.  The reel 10 also comprises a rectangular mat 13 which is housed in the central space 112.
Le tapis 13 comporte des tiges transversales 135 orientées selon le premier axe transversal B, et des plaques 134. Une extrémité de chaque tige 135 est insérée dans une rainure longitudinale 1115 (orientée selon l'axe longitudinal A) de la paroi latérale 111 et est apte à coulisser dans cette rainure. L'autre extrémité de chaque tige 135 est insérée dans une rainure longitudinale 1135 (orientée selon l'axe longitudinal A) de la paroi latérale 113 et est apte à coulisser dans cette rainure (voir figure 1). Les rainures 1115 et 1135 sont en regard selon l'axe transversal B de telle sorte que le tapis 13 est horizontal. The belt 13 comprises transverse rods 135 oriented along the first transverse axis B, and plates 134. One end of each rod 135 is inserted into a longitudinal groove 1115 (oriented along the longitudinal axis A) of the side wall 111 and is able to slide in this groove. The other end of each rod 135 is inserted in a longitudinal groove 1135 (oriented along the longitudinal axis A) of the side wall 113 and is slidable in this groove (see Figure 1). The grooves 1115 and 1135 are facing along the transverse axis B so that the belt 13 is horizontal.
Chaque paire de tiges 135 adjacentes est reliée par une des plaques 134. La largeur des plaques 134 est sensiblement égale à la distance entre les parois latérales 111 et 113 de telle sorte que chaque coté latéral (aligné selon l'axe longitudinal A) des plaques 134 est en contact ou pratiquement en contact avec une des parois latérales 111 ou 113.  Each pair of adjacent rods 135 is connected by one of the plates 134. The width of the plates 134 is substantially equal to the distance between the side walls 111 and 113 so that each lateral side (aligned along the longitudinal axis A) of the plates 134 is in contact or substantially in contact with one of the side walls 111 or 113.
Ainsi la totalité du maki sera bien supportée par le tapis 13 et son enroulement sera plus efficace, comme expliqué ci-dessous.  Thus the entire maki will be well supported by the mat 13 and its winding will be more efficient, as explained below.
Avantageusement, les plaques 134 sont rigides, ce qui permet de mieux supporter le maki et facilite le déroulement du tapis 13.  Advantageously, the plates 134 are rigid, which makes it possible to better support the maki and facilitates the unwinding of the belt 13.
Alternativement, les plaques 134 peuvent être remplacées par un support continu semi-rigide.  Alternatively, the plates 134 may be replaced by a semi-rigid continuous support.
La longueur du tapis est sensiblement égale à la circonférence des disques 121 et 123 de telle sorte que le maki peut être entièrement entouré par le tapis 13 (voir explications ci-dessous).  The length of the belt is substantially equal to the circumference of the discs 121 and 123 so that the maki can be completely surrounded by the belt 13 (see explanations below).
La longueur du tapis est sensiblement égale à la longueur (selon la direction de l'axe longitudinal A) de l'espace central 112, ce qui optimise la compacité de la machine 1.  The length of the belt is substantially equal to the length (in the direction of the longitudinal axis A) of the central space 112, which optimizes the compactness of the machine 1.
Le tapis 13 est positionné dans l'espace central 112 de telle sorte que les extrémités de la tige 135 située à une extrémité du tapis 13 sont engagées dans une encoche 1215 du disque 121 et dans l'encoche 1235 du disque 123 située en regard.  The belt 13 is positioned in the central space 112 so that the ends of the rod 135 located at one end of the belt 13 are engaged in a notch 1215 of the disc 121 and in the notch 1235 of the disc 123 located opposite.
On décrit maintenant l'enroulement d'un maki par l'enrouleur 10 en référence aux figures 1 et 2.  The winding of a maki by the winder 10 is now described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.
Initialement le tapis 13 est à plat et horizontal tel qu'illustré sur la figure 1. La coupe longitudinale de la figure 3 montre également la machine 1 lorsque le levier 30 est en position initiale.  Initially the belt 13 is flat and horizontal as shown in Figure 1. The longitudinal section of Figure 3 also shows the machine 1 when the lever 30 is in the initial position.
On place une feuille rectangulaire d'algues séchées (non représentée) sur le tapis 13 de façon à le recouvrir.  A rectangular sheet of dried algae (not shown) is placed on the carpet 13 so as to cover it.
Avantageusement, chaque paroi latérale 111 et 113 est moins haute dans sa partie plus proche de l'extrémité longitudinale du premier bati 11 que dans sa partie plus proche du centre de la machine 1 et où sont situés les disques 121 et 123. Ainsi, la feuille d'algues séchées peut être disposée plus aisément sur le tapis 13. On dispose du riz (non-représenté) sur cette feuille. Pour disposer ce riz de façon uniforme sur la feuille d'algues, on peut utiliser un gabarit (non-représenté) que l'on dépose sur la feuille d'algue, entre les parois latérales 111 et 113. Ce gabarit a la forme d'un cadre délimitant une zone rectangulaire où l'on étale le riz et l'épaisseur de riz souhaitée (environ 5 mm) et le cas échéant d'autres ingrédients. Cette zone a une superficie inférieure à la surface du tapis. Advantageously, each side wall 111 and 113 is less high in its part closer to the longitudinal end of the first frame 11 than in its part closer to the center of the machine 1 and where the discs 121 and 123 are located. Dried seaweed leaf can be arranged more easily on the carpet 13. Rice is available (not shown) on this sheet. To arrange this rice uniformly on the algae sheet, it is possible to use a template (not shown) which is deposited on the seaweed sheet, between the side walls 111 and 113. This template has the shape of a frame defining a rectangular area where the rice is spread and the desired thickness of rice (about 5 mm) and if necessary other ingredients. This area has a smaller area than the carpet surface.
Avantageusement, la machine 1 présente un logement dans laquelle ce gabarit peut être rangé, sans dépasser sensiblement de la machine 1, lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé. Ce gabarit est ainsi toujours à portée de main.  Advantageously, the machine 1 has a housing in which this template can be stored, without substantially exceeding the machine 1, when not in use. This template is always at hand.
Par exemple, ce logement se situe sous le tapis 13.  For example, this dwelling is located under the carpet 13.
Avantageusement, l'espace central 112 se prolonge à cette extrémité par un quart de cylindre 114 qui s'incurve vers le haut en suivant la circonférence des disques 121 et 123 et se prolonge ensuite verticalement par un muret 115. Ainsi, la mise en forme du riz en cylindre est plus aisée.  Advantageously, the central space 112 is extended at this end by a quarter cylinder 114 which curves upwards along the circumference of the discs 121 and 123 and then extends vertically by a wall 115. Thus, the shaping rice in the cylinder is easier.
Le levier 30 est monté sur le bâti 11 et comporte un premier bras 301 et un second bras 303, reliés entre eux à leurs extrémités supérieures par une poignée 312.  The lever 30 is mounted on the frame 11 and comprises a first arm 301 and a second arm 303, interconnected at their upper ends by a handle 312.
Le premier bras 301 et le second bras 303 s'étendent parallèlement l'un à l'autre jusqu'à leurs extrémités inférieures 341 et 343 respectivement.  The first arm 301 and the second arm 303 extend parallel to each other to their lower ends 341 and 343 respectively.
Ces extrémités inférieures 341 et 343 sont reliées au bâti 11 par une liaison pivot dont l'axe est un second axe transversal C parallèle et situé sensiblement en dessous du premier axe transversal B.  These lower ends 341 and 343 are connected to the frame 11 by a pivot connection whose axis is a second transverse axis C parallel and located substantially below the first transverse axis B.
Le second axe transversal C est ainsi situé entre le muret vertical 115 et i'extrémité longitudinale du premier bati 11.  The second transverse axis C is thus located between the vertical wall 115 and the longitudinal end of the first frame 11.
Les extrémités inférieures 341 et 343 sont chacune munies d'un premier volant 311 et 313 respectivement, dont la face radialement interne est dentée.  The lower ends 341 and 343 are each provided with a first wheel 311 and 313 respectively, whose radially inner face is toothed.
Chaque premier volant 311 et 313 est positionné de telle sorte que ses dents engrènent avec les dents du pignon 1218 et 1238 respectivement.  Each first wheel 311 and 313 is positioned so that its teeth mesh with the teeth of pinion 1218 and 1238 respectively.
Le levier 30 est initialement en position sensiblement verticale.  The lever 30 is initially in a substantially vertical position.
Les premiers volants 311 et 313 étant solidaires en rotation du levier 30, lorsqu'on actionne le levier 30 dans un premier sens, c'est-à-dire que l'on abaisse le levier 30 en direction du tapis 13 (vers la gauche sur les figures 1 à 8) autour du second axe transversal C, ces premiers volants entraînent les pignons 1218 et 1238, ce qui fait pivoter les premiers volants 311 et 313 autour du premier axe transversal B. Le tapis 13 est alors entraîné en rotation par ces premiers volants par l'intermédiaire des encoches 1215 et 1235 et des tiges 135. Ce mécanisme d'entraînement permet de laisser libre l'espace situé entre les disques 121 et 123 afin que le maki s'y enroule. The first rims 311 and 313 being integral in rotation with the lever 30, when the lever 30 is actuated in a first direction, that is to say that the lever 30 is lowered towards the belt 13 (to the left on the 1 to 8) around the second transverse axis C, these first wheels drive the pinions 1218 and 1238, which pivots the first wheels 311 and 313 around the first transverse axis B. The belt 13 is then rotated by these first flywheels through the notches 1215 and 1235 and rods 135. This drive mechanism allows to leave free the space between the disc 121 and 123 so that the maki is wound there.
Le tapis 13 entraîne avec lui la feuille d'algues séchées et le riz (et les ingrédients éventuels posés sur le riz), et enroule cette feuille et le riz sur lui-même entre les disques 121 et 123, en donnant ainsi à ce riz la forme d'un cylindre recouvert par cette feuille.  The mat 13 carries with it the dried seaweed leaf and the rice (and any ingredients placed on the rice), and wraps this leaf and the rice on itself between the discs 121 and 123, thereby giving this rice the shape of a cylinder covered by this sheet.
Lorsque le levier 30 est abaissé complètement, ce qui correspond à la situation illustrée sur la figure 2, le tapis 13 est enroulé sur sensiblement toute la circonférence des disques 121 et 123. Ainsi, la feuille d'algues séchées est plaquée sur toute la surface latérale du cylindre de riz par le tapis 13, et adhère bien au riz pour former un maki.  When the lever 30 is lowered completely, which corresponds to the situation illustrated in Figure 2, the belt 13 is wound over substantially the entire circumference of the discs 121 and 123. Thus, the dried seaweed leaf is plated on the entire surface side of the rice cylinder by the carpet 13, and adheres well to the rice to form a maki.
Lorsque le levier 30 est remonté en position verticale initiale, le tapis When the lever 30 is raised to the initial vertical position, the carpet
13 se déroule jusqu'à revenir en position plane sensiblement horizontale, ce qui libère le maki. Une longueur éventuelle supplémentaire de feuille d'algues séchées, non enroulée autour du maki, peut alors être aisément enroulée manuellement autour du maki, puisque le maki forme désormais un cylindre suffisamment rigide. 13 unfolds until it returns to a substantially horizontal plane position, which releases the maki. An additional possible length of dried seaweed leaf, not wrapped around the maki, can then be easily wound manually around the maki, since the maki now forms a sufficiently rigid cylinder.
Les dents de chaque premier volant 311 et 313 commencent à entrer en contact avec le pignon 1218 et 1238 respectivement lorsque le levier 30 est en position verticale, et chacun de ces premiers volants s'étend sur un secteur angulaire qui correspond à la course du levier 30 dans son entraînement du tapis 13.  The teeth of each first wheel 311 and 313 begin to come into contact with the pinion 1218 and 1238 respectively when the lever 30 is in the vertical position, and each of these first wheels extends over an angular sector corresponding to the stroke of the lever. 30 in his training of the carpet 13.
Ainsi, lorsque le levier 30 est actionné dans un second sens opposé au premier sens (ce second sens correspond à un abaissement du levier 30 vers la droite sur les figures 1 à 8), le levier 30 n'entraine pas le tapis Thus, when the lever 30 is actuated in a second direction opposite to the first direction (this second direction corresponds to a lowering of the lever 30 to the right in FIGS. 1 to 8), the lever 30 does not cause the belt
13 car les premiers volants 311 et 313 n'engrènent pas les pignons 1218 et 1238. 13 because the first rims 311 and 313 do not mesh the gables 1218 and 1238.
On décrit maintenant la structure de la presse 20.  The structure of the press 20 is now described.
Comme illustré en figure 4, la presse 20 comprend un second bati 21 sensiblement en forme de U, et qui est solidaire du premier bati 11. Les parois latérales 211 et 213 du U s'étendent selon l'axe longitudinal A et entourent un espace central 212 de forme rectangulaire. La presse 20 comporte également un tiroir 23 avec quatre alvéoles 238 destinées à recevoir le riz. Ce tiroir 23 se loge dans l'espace central 212. Le tiroir 23 comprend un support 231 qui supporte quatre cylindres 232. Ce support 231 se prolonge longitudinalement au-delà de l'extrémité du second bati 21 (c'est-à-dire en direction opposée à celte du centre de la machine 1) par une tige 2315 qui permet de faire coulisser le support 231. As illustrated in FIG. 4, the press 20 comprises a second substantially U-shaped frame 21 which is integral with the first frame 11. The lateral walls 211 and 213 of the U extend along the longitudinal axis A and surround a central space 212 of rectangular shape. The press 20 also comprises a drawer 23 with four cells 238 for receiving the rice. This drawer 23 is housed in the central space 212. The drawer 23 comprises a support 231 which supports four cylinders 232. This support 231 extends longitudinally beyond the end of the second frame 21 (that is to say in a direction opposite to that of the center of the machine 1) by a rod 2315 which makes it possible to slide the support 231.
Le tiroir 23 comprend également un bloc 233 qui s'étend d'une paroi latérale 211 à l'autre paroi latérale 213. Le bloc 233 est percé de quatre trous dans lesquels se logent les quatre cylindres 232, de telle sorte que le bloc 233 est libre de coulisser verticalement le long des cylindres 232. Les parois 2348 d'un trou a une forme et une taille sensiblement identiques à celles d'une section transversale (dans un plan horizontal) d'un cylindre 232 de telle sorte que le bloc 233 est guidé dans son mouvement vertical par les cylindres 232. Lorsque le bloc 233 est en position haute par rapport aux cylindres 232, les faces supérieures 2328 des cylindres 232 se situent en contrebas de la face supérieure 2338 du bloc 233 de telle sorte que la partie supérieure des parois 2348 des trous forment avec les faces supérieures 2328 des cylindres 232 les quatre alvéoles 238 (figures 3 à 6). Lorsque le bloc 233 est en position basse par rapport aux cylindres 232, les faces supérieures 2328 des cylindres 232 affleurent au dessus de la face supérieure 2338 du bloc 233 (figure 7).  The drawer 23 also comprises a block 233 which extends from one side wall 211 to the other side wall 213. The block 233 is pierced with four holes in which the four cylinders 232 are housed, so that the block 233 is free to slide vertically along the cylinders 232. The walls 2348 of a hole has a shape and a size substantially identical to those of a cross section (in a horizontal plane) of a cylinder 232 so that the block 233 is guided in its vertical movement by the cylinders 232. When the block 233 is in the high position relative to the cylinders 232, the upper faces 2328 of the cylinders 232 are located below the upper face 2338 of the block 233 so that the The upper part of the walls 2348 of the holes form, with the upper faces 2328 of the cylinders 232, the four cells 238 (FIGS. 3 to 6). When the block 233 is in the lower position relative to the cylinders 232, the upper faces 2328 of the cylinders 232 are flush with the top of the upper face 2338 of the block 233 (FIG. 7).
A l'extrémité de l'espace central 212 qui est la plus proche du levier 30, les parois latérales 211 et 213 sont jointes par un toit 24 plan horizontal qui s'étend de la paroi latérale 211 à la paroi latérale 213.  At the end of the central space 212 which is closest to the lever 30, the side walls 211 and 213 are joined by a roof 24 horizontal plane which extends from the side wall 211 to the side wall 213.
En outre le toit 24 et les montants latéraux 211 et 213 sont contigus au muret 115, ce qui conduit à une machine 1 plus compacte.  In addition the roof 24 and the lateral uprights 211 and 213 are contiguous to the wall 115, which leads to a machine 1 more compact.
Sous le toit 24 se trouve un couvercle 25, qui est mieux visible sur la figure 3.  Under the roof 24 is a cover 25, which is better visible in FIG.
Le couvercle 25 s'étend de la paroi latérale 211 à la paroi latérale The cover 25 extends from the side wall 211 to the side wall
213, c'est-à-dire dans les directions du premier axe B et du second axe C, et le long du muret 115. 213, that is to say in the directions of the first axis B and the second axis C, and along the wall 115.
La face inférieure du couvercle 25 est munie de quatre protubérances 254 qui s'étendent vers le bas et dont la forme et les dimensions sont identiques à celles des faces supérieures 2328 des cylindres 232. Le couvercle 25 est muni à ses extrémités latérales de montants 251 et 253 verticaux qui sont aptes à coulisser verticalement respectivement dans des rainures verticales 271 et 273. Chaque montant 251 et 253 présente une crémaillère 261 et 263, respectivement. Les crémaillères 261 et 263 sont situées latéralement vers l'extérieur par rapport aux montants 251 et 253, et s'étendent verticalement sur une partie de la hauteur de ces montants. Chaque crémaillère 261 et 263 est munie de dents 2618 et 2638 respectivement, qui sont orientées en direction du second axe transversal C autour duquel pivote le levier 30. Le muret 115 se situe, selon une direction longitudinale, entre les crémaillères 261 et 263 et ce second axe transversal C. The lower face of the cover 25 is provided with four protuberances 254 which extend downwards and whose shape and dimensions are identical to those of the upper faces 2328 of the cylinders 232. The cover 25 is provided at its lateral ends with uprights 251 and 253 vertical which are able to slide vertically respectively in vertical grooves 271 and 273. Each upright 251 and 253 has a rack 261 and 263, respectively. The racks 261 and 263 are located laterally outwardly relative to the uprights 251 and 253, and extend vertically over a portion of the height of these uprights. Each rack 261 and 263 is provided with teeth 2618 and 2638 respectively, which are oriented towards the second transverse axis C about which the lever 30 pivots. The wall 115 is located, in a longitudinal direction, between the racks 261 and 263 and second transverse axis C.
Les extrémités inférieures 341 du premier bras 301 et 343 du second bras 303 sont chacune munies d'un second volant 321 et 323 respectivement, dont la face radialement externe est dentée. Chaque second volant 321 et 323 est positionné de telle sorte que ses dents engrènent avec les dents des crémaillères 261 et 263 respectivement.  The lower ends 341 of the first arm 301 and 343 of the second arm 303 are each provided with a second wheel 321 and 323 respectively, whose radially outer face is toothed. Each second wheel 321 and 323 is positioned so that its teeth mesh with the teeth of the racks 261 and 263 respectively.
On décrit maintenant le compactage d'un sushi par la presse 20 en référence aux figures 3 à 6.  The compaction of a sushi by the press 20 is now described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 6.
La presse 20 est actionnée en actionnant le levier 30 (à l'aide de la poignée 312) dans le second sens opposé au premier sens.  The press 20 is actuated by actuating the lever 30 (using the handle 312) in the second opposite direction to the first direction.
Comme expliqué ci-dessus, cet actionnement du levier 30 dans ce second sens n'entraine pas le tapis 13. Par conséquent le levier 30, ou plus généralement l'actionneur 30, actionne l'enrouleur 10 et la presse 20 indépendamment l'un de l'autre.  As explained above, this actuation of the lever 30 in this second direction does not involve the belt 13. Therefore the lever 30, or more generally the actuator 30, actuates the winder 10 and the press 20 independently one the other.
Initialement, le bloc 233 est en position haute, et est situé plus proche de l'extrémité longitudinale du second bâti 21, c'est-à-dire est positionné à l'écart du toit 24 et du couvercle 25 (Figure 4). Par "positionné à l'écart", on entend "positionné hors de la zone située en dessous". Cette position du tiroir 23 et du bloc 233 est appelée position externe.  Initially, the block 233 is in the up position, and is located closer to the longitudinal end of the second frame 21, that is to say is positioned away from the roof 24 and the cover 25 (Figure 4). By "set apart" means "positioned out of the area below". This position of the slide 23 and the block 233 is called the external position.
On place du riz (ποη-représenté) dans chacune des alvéoles 234, le riz pouvant éventuellement dépasser au dessus de la surface supérieure 2338 du bloc 233. On place éventuellement un ou plusieurs morceaux d'un autre ingrédient sur le riz.  Rice (ποη-shown) is placed in each of the cells 234, the rice possibly being able to protrude above the upper surface 2338 of the block 233. One or more pieces of another ingredient are optionally placed on the rice.
Avantageusement, chaque paroi latérale 211 et 213 est moins haute dans sa partie plus proche de l'extrémité longitudinale du second bati 21 que dans sa partie plus proche du centre de la machine 1 et où est situé le muret 115. Advantageously, each side wall 211 and 213 is less high in its part closer to the longitudinal end of the second frame 21 only in its part closer to the center of the machine 1 and where is the wall 115.
Ainsi, il est plus aisé de placer le riz dans les alvéoles 234.  Thus, it is easier to place the rice in the cells 234.
A l'aide de la tige 2315 du support 231, on pousse le tiroir 23 en translation horizontale vers le centre de la machine 1 jusqu'à ce que les alvéoles 234 du bloc 233 soient positionnées sous le couvercle 25 et ainsi sous les protubérances 254 (figure 5). Cette position du tiroir 23 et du bloc 233 est appelée position interne.  With the aid of the rod 2315 of the support 231, the slide 23 is pushed in horizontal translation towards the center of the machine 1 until the cells 234 of the block 233 are positioned under the cover 25 and thus under the protuberances 254. (Figure 5). This position of the slide 23 and the block 233 is called internal position.
Avantageusement les parois latérales 211 et 213 présentent sur leurs faces internes (c'est-à-dire leurs faces en regard) des rainures dans lesquelles coulissent les bords du support 231, ce qui guide le tiroir 23 dans son mouvement de translation.  Advantageously, the side walls 211 and 213 have on their internal faces (that is to say their facing faces) grooves in which the edges of the support 231 slide, which guides the slide 23 in its translational movement.
On actionne le levier 30 dans le second sens, c'est-à-dire que l'on abaisse le levier 30 en direction du couvercle 25 (vers la droite sur les figures 1 à 8) autour du second axe transversal C. Les seconds volants 321 et 323 étant solidaires en rotation du levier 30, ces seconds volants entraînent les crémaillères 261 et 263 vers le bas, ce qui fait translater verticalement vers le bas les montants 251 et 253 et donc le couvercle 25.  The lever 30 is actuated in the second direction, that is to say that the lever 30 is lowered towards the cover 25 (to the right in FIGS. 1 to 8) around the second transverse axis C. The second 321 flywheels and 323 being rotatably connected to the lever 30, these second wheels drive the racks 261 and 263 downwards, which translate vertically downwards the uprights 251 and 253 and thus the cover 25.
Le couvercle 25 descend jusqu'à toucher la face supérieure 2338 du bloc 233, de telle sorte que les protubérances 254 pénètrent dans les alvéoles 234 et compactent ainsi le riz présent dans chacune des alvéoles 234 (figure 6).  The lid 25 descends to touch the upper face 2338 of the block 233, so that the protuberances 254 penetrate into the cells 234 and thus compact the rice present in each of the cells 234 (Figure 6).
Avantageusement, les faces inférieures des protubérances 254 du couvercle 25 (visibles sur la figure 3), et les faces supérieures 2328 des cylindres 232 (visibles sur la figure 7) sont concaves, ce qui permet de conférer au riz une forme convexe en boulette lors de son compactage.  Advantageously, the lower faces of the protuberances 254 of the cover 25 (visible in FIG. 3), and the upper faces 2328 of the cylinders 232 (visible in FIG. 7) are concave, which makes it possible to confer on the rice a convex shape in a pellet when of its compaction.
On actionne ensuite le levier 30 dans le premier sens pour le ramener en position verticale, ce qui remonte les crémaillères 261 et 263 et le couvercle 25 vers le haut. On tire ensuite le tiroir 23 à l'aide de la tige 2315 du support 231 vers l'extrémité longitudinale du second bati 21 jusqu'à ce que les alvéoles 234 du bloc 233 soient positionnées à l'écart du toit 24 et du couvercle 25. On revient ainsi à la configuration illustrée en figure 4.  The lever 30 is then actuated in the first direction to return it to the vertical position, which raises the racks 261 and 263 and the cover 25 upwards. Drawer 23 is then pulled by means of rod 2315 from support 231 towards the longitudinal end of second housing 21 until cells 234 of block 233 are positioned away from roof 24 and cover 25. This returns to the configuration illustrated in FIG.
Les dents de chaque second volant 321 et 323 commencent à entrer en contact avec la crémaillère 261 et 263 respectivement lorsque le levier 30 est en position verticale, et chacun de ces seconds volants s'étend sur un secteur angulaire qui correspond à la course du levier 30 dans son entraînement du couvercle 25. The teeth of each second wheel 321 and 323 begin to come into contact with the rack 261 and 263 respectively when the lever 30 is in the vertical position, and each of these second wheels extends over an angular sector corresponding to the stroke of the lever 30 in its drive of the cover 25.
Ainsi, lorsque le levier 30 est actionné dans le premier sens (qui correspond à l'abaissement du levier 30 vers la gauche sur les figures 1 à 8), le levier 30 n'entraîne pas le couvercle 25 car les seconds volants 321 et 323 n'engrènent pas les crémaillères 261 et 263.  Thus, when the lever 30 is actuated in the first direction (which corresponds to the lowering of the lever 30 to the left in Figures 1 to 8), the lever 30 does not drive the cover 25 because the second wheels 321 and 323 do not mesh the racks 261 and 263.
De plus, comme expliqué ci-dessus, lorsque le levier 30 est actionné dans le second sens, il n'entraîne pas le tapis 13.  In addition, as explained above, when the lever 30 is actuated in the second direction, it does not drive the belt 13.
Au total, le levier 30 actionne donc l'enrouleur 10 et la presse 20 indépendamment l'un de l'autre.  In total, the lever 30 therefore actuates the winder 10 and the press 20 independently of one another.
Avantageusement, le mouvement du tiroir 23 entre la position externe et la position interne est coordonné et simultané avec le mouvement du couvercle 25 entre la position haute et la position basse, les deux mouvements s'effectua nt par une même action du levier 30.  Advantageously, the movement of the drawer 23 between the external position and the internal position is coordinated and simultaneous with the movement of the lid 25 between the high position and the low position, the two movements being carried out by the same action of the lever 30.
Un tel mouvement peut aisément être réalisé à l'aide d'une crémaillère supplémentaire horizontale solidaire du tiroir 23, entraînée par un pignon supplémentaire solidaire du levier 30. Ainsi, lorsqu'on bascule le levier 30 depuis sa position verticale dans le second sens, on fait d'abord coulisser le tiroir 23 de sa position externe vers sa position interne sous le couvercle 25, puis un basculement additionnel du levier 30 fait passer le couvercle 25 de sa position haute vers sa position basse. Lorsqu'on ramène le levier 30 en position verticale, le couvercle 25 repasse en position haute puis le tiroir repasse en position externe.  Such a movement can easily be achieved with the aid of an additional horizontal rack secured to the drawer 23, driven by an additional pinion secured to the lever 30. Thus, when the lever 30 is tilted from its vertical position in the second direction, the drawer 23 is first slid from its external position to its internal position under the cover 25, then an additional tilting of the lever 30 causes the cover 25 to move from its upper position to its lower position. When the lever 30 is returned to the vertical position, the lid 25 returns to the up position and the drawer returns to the external position.
On décrit maintenant le mécanisme de démoulage 4 du riz compacté en sushis.  The release mechanism 4 of the rice compacted with sushi is now described.
La machine 1 comporte une manette 40 qui est montée sur le second bâti 21 et qui comporte une première branche 401 et une seconde branche 403, reliées entre elles à leurs extrémités supérieures 411 et 413 par une poignée 412.  The machine 1 comprises a handle 40 which is mounted on the second frame 21 and which comprises a first branch 401 and a second branch 403, interconnected at their upper ends 411 and 413 by a handle 412.
Le mécanisme de démoulage 4 comprend la manette 40.  The demolding mechanism 4 comprises the lever 40.
La première branche 401 et la seconde branche 403 s'étendent parallèlement l'un à l'autre jusqu'à leurs extrémités inférieures 441 et 443 respectivement.  The first leg 401 and the second leg 403 extend parallel to each other to their lower ends 441 and 443 respectively.
Ces extrémités inférieures 441 et 443 sont reliées au second bâti 21 par une liaison pivot dont l'axe est un troisième axe transversal D parallèle au second axe transversal C. Les branches 401 et 403 sont reliées à des guides 461 et 463 respectivement, qui sont eux-mêmes connectés au bloc 233 (voir figures 4 à 8) lorsque le bloc 233 est situé à l'écart du toit 24 et du couvercle 25. Lorsqu'on abaisse la manette 40, les guides 461 et 463 se déplacent verticalement vers le bas de telle sorte que le bloc 233 passe de sa position haute à sa position basse par rapport aux cylindres 232. Ainsi, les faces supérieures 2328 des cylindres 232 affleurent au dessus de la face supérieure 2338 du bloc 233 (figure 7), et les sushis compactés sont alors entièrement dégagés et peuvent être aisément saisis. These lower ends 441 and 443 are connected to the second frame 21 by a pivot connection whose axis is a third transverse axis D parallel to the second transverse axis C. The branches 401 and 403 are connected to guides 461 and 463 respectively, which are themselves connected to the block 233 (see FIGS. 4 to 8) when the block 233 is situated away from the roof 24 and the cover 25. When the lever 40 is lowered, the guides 461 and 463 move vertically downwards so that the block 233 moves from its upper position to its lower position with respect to the cylinders 232. Thus, the upper faces 2328 of the cylinders 232 are flush with each other. above the upper face 2338 of the block 233 (Figure 7), and the compacted sushi are then completely cleared and can be easily grasped.
Avantageusement, la manette 40 est positionnée de telle sorte que sa poignée 412 se situe à proximité de la poignée 312 du levier 30. Par exemple, une partie des branches 401 et 403 est recourbée et s'étend en direction de la poignée 312 avec le levier 30 en position verticale.  Advantageously, the lever 40 is positioned so that its handle 412 is located near the handle 312 of the lever 30. For example, a portion of the branches 401 and 403 is bent and extends towards the handle 312 with the lever 30 in vertical position.
Ainsi, la manette 40 peut être actionnée alors que la main est encore sur la poignée 312, ce qui permet à l'utilisateur de gagner du temps.  Thus, the lever 40 can be actuated while the hand is still on the handle 312, which allows the user to save time.
En outre, le dégagement du tiroir 23 hors de l'espace central 212 du bati 21 de la machine 1, en vue de son nettoyage, est facilité.  In addition, the clearance of the drawer 23 from the central space 212 of the frame 21 of the machine 1, for cleaning, is facilitated.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, le levier 30, ou plus généralement l'actionneur, actionne l'enrouleur 10 et la presse 20 simultanément.  According to another embodiment of the invention, the lever 30, or more generally the actuator, actuates the winder 10 and the press 20 simultaneously.
Pour ce faire, on munit par exemple la face radialement externe des premiers volants 311 et 313 de dents, et on remplace les seconds volants 321 et 323 par des pignons additionnels fixés sur le premier bati 11 ou le second bati 21 et qui sont libres en rotation. Les dents de ces pignons additionnels sont aptes à engréner à la fois les dents des volants 311 et 313, et les dents des crémaillères 261 et 263.  For this purpose, for example, the radially outer face of the first flounces 311 and 313 of teeth is provided, and the second flounces 321 and 323 are replaced by additional pinions fixed on the first frame 11 or the second frame 21 and which are free in rotation. The teeth of these additional gears are capable of meshing both the teeth of the flywheels 311 and 313, and the teeth of the racks 261 and 263.
Lorsqu'on abaisse le levier 30 dans le premier sens, le premier volant 313 (visible sur la figure 1) tourne dans le sens antihoraire, le pignon additionnel avec lequel il s'engrène tourne dans le sens horaire, et la crémaillère 263 s'abaisse (un mouvement similaire est décrit par le premier volant 311, l'autre pignon additionnel et l'autre crémaillère 261).  When the lever 30 is lowered in the first direction, the first wheel 313 (visible in FIG. 1) rotates counterclockwise, the additional gear with which it meshes rotates clockwise, and the rack 263 lowers (a similar movement is described by the first flywheel 311, the other additional gear and the other rack 261).
Un mécanisme d'entraînement additionnel de la presse 20 autre que ces pignons additionnels est possible.  An additional drive mechanism of the press 20 other than these additional gears is possible.
Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, la machine 1 comporte en outre un dispositif de débrayage 90 qui dissocie le mouvement de l'enrouleur 10 et le mouvement de la presse 20, et qui est disposé entre l'actionneur 30 et l'enrouleur 10 et entre l'actionneur 30 et la presse 20. According to another embodiment of the invention, the machine 1 further comprises a disengaging device 90 which dissociates the movement of the reel 10 and the movement of the press 20, and which is disposed between the actuator 30 and the reel 10 and between the actuator 30 and the press 20.
Un exemple d'un tel dispositif de débrayage 90 est décrit en référence à la figure 8.  An example of such a disengaging device 90 is described with reference to FIG. 8.
Les modifications par rapport à la machine 1 décrite en figure 1 sont les suivantes :  The modifications with respect to the machine 1 described in FIG. 1 are as follows:
□ les premiers volants 311 et 313 présentent chacun une excroissance 911 et 913 respectivement,  □ the first rims 311 and 313 each have a protrusion 911 and 913 respectively,
L les seconds volants 321 et 323 présentent chacun une excroissance 921 et 923 respectivement,  L the second wheels 321 and 323 each have an outgrowth 921 and 923 respectively,
□ les bras 301 et 303 sont chacun munis d'une fourche 901 et 903 respectivement, qui est dentée à son extrémité supérieure, et qui présente à son extrémité inférieure un premier crochet 9011 et 9031 respectivement, et un second crochet 9012 et 9032 respectivement, □ la poignée 312 du levier 30 présente à ses extrémités une portion dentée 912 sur toute sa circonférence, la poignée étant montée rotative.  □ the arms 301 and 303 are each provided with a fork 901 and 903 respectively, which is toothed at its upper end, and which has at its lower end a first hook 9011 and 9031 respectively, and a second hook 9012 and 9032 respectively, □ the handle 312 of the lever 30 has at its ends a toothed portion 912 around its circumference, the handle being rotatably mounted.
Le dispositif de débrayage 90 comprend les excroissances 911, 913 sur les premiers volants 311 et 313, les excroissances 921 et 923 sur les seconds volants 321 et 323, les fourches 901 et 903, ainsi que les portions dentées 912 de la poignée 312.  The disengaging device 90 comprises the protuberances 911, 913 on the first wheels 311 and 313, the protuberances 921 and 923 on the second wheels 321 and 323, the forks 901 and 903, and the toothed portions 912 of the handle 312.
Les fourches 901 et 903 sont fixées aux bras 301 et 303 par une liaison pivot selon un axe transversal, le point fixe de ces liaisons se situant environ à mi-longueur de ces bras. Les fourches 901 et 903 sont disposées de telle sorte que les dents de leur extrémité supérieure engrennent avec une des portions dentées 912 de la poignée 312. Les fourches 901 et 903 sont de plus disposées de telle sorte que, dans une première position, le premier crochet 9011 et 9031 respectivement de leur extrémité inférieure est apte à s'enclencher avec une encoche dans l'excroissance 911 du premier volant 311 et avec une encoche dans l'excroissance 913 du premier volant 313 respectivement, et que, dans une seconde position, le second crochet 9012 et 9032 respectivement de leur extrémité inférieure est apte à s'enclencher avec une encoche dans l'excroissance 921 du second volant 321 et avec une encoche dans l'excroissance 923 du second volant 323 respectivement. En faisant pivoter la poignée 312 sur elle-même, on fait ainsi basculer tes fourches 901 et 903 entre leur première position où les premiers crochets 9011 et 9031 sont enclenchés avec les encoches des premiers volants 311 et 313, et leur seconde position où les seconds crochets 9012 et 9032 sont enclenchés avec les encoches des seconds volants 321 et 323. The forks 901 and 903 are attached to the arms 301 and 303 by a pivot connection along a transverse axis, the fixed point of these links being approximately mid-length of these arms. The forks 901 and 903 are arranged in such a way that the teeth of their upper end mesh with one of the toothed portions 912 of the handle 312. The forks 901 and 903 are furthermore arranged so that, in a first position, the first hook 9011 and 9031 respectively of their lower end is adapted to engage with a notch in the protrusion 911 of the first flywheel 311 and with a notch in the protrusion 913 of the first flywheel 313 respectively, and that, in a second position, the second hook 9012 and 9032 respectively of their lower end is adapted to engage with a notch in the protrusion 921 of the second wheel 321 and with a notch in the protrusion 923 of the second wheel 323 respectively. By pivoting the handle 312 on itself, it tilts your forks 901 and 903 between their first position where the first hooks 9011 and 9031 are engaged with the notches of the first rims 311 and 313, and their second position where the second hooks 9012 and 9032 are engaged with the notches of second wheels 321 and 323.
Ainsi le dispositif de débrayage 90 est actionné depuis l'actionneur Thus the disengagement device 90 is actuated from the actuator
30. 30.
Dans la première position, l'excroissance 911 du premier volant 311 est pincée entre le premier bras 301 du levier 30 et le premier crochet 9011, et l'excroissance 913 du premier volant 313 est pincée entre le second bras 303 du levier 30 et le premier crochet 9031. Le mouvement du levier dans le premier sens entraine donc les premiers volants 311 et 313, et par conséquent le tapis 13 (réalisation d'un maki), sans que les seconds volants 321 et 323 soient entraînés (puisque les seconds crochets 9012 et 9032 ne sont pas enclenchés avec les encoches des seconds volants 321 et 323).  In the first position, the protrusion 911 of the first flywheel 311 is clamped between the first arm 301 of the lever 30 and the first hook 9011, and the protrusion 913 of the first handwheel 313 is clamped between the second arm 303 of the lever 30 and the first hook 9031. The movement of the lever in the first direction therefore causes the first wheels 311 and 313, and therefore the mat 13 (realization of a maki), without the second wheels 321 and 323 are driven (since the second hooks). 9012 and 9032 are not engaged with the notches of the second wheels 321 and 323).
A l'inverse, dans la seconde position, l'excroissance 921 du second volant 321 est pincée entre le premier bras 301 du levier 30 et le second crochet 9012, et l'excroissance 923 du second volant 323 est pincée entre le second bras 303 du levier 30 et le second crochet 9032. Le mouvement du levier dans le second sens entraine donc les seconds volants 321 et 323, et par conséquent le couvercle 25 (réalisation d'un sushi), sans que les premiers volants 311 et 313 soient entraînés (puisque les premiers crochets 9011 et 9031 ne sont pas enclenchés avec les encoches des premiers volants 311 et 313).  Conversely, in the second position, the protrusion 921 of the second wheel 321 is clamped between the first arm 301 of the lever 30 and the second hook 9012, and the protrusion 923 of the second wheel 323 is clamped between the second arm 303. of the lever 30 and the second hook 9032. The movement of the lever in the second direction therefore causes the second wheels 321 and 323, and therefore the lid 25 (realization of a sushi), without the first wheels 311 and 313 are driven (Since the first hooks 9011 and 9031 are not engaged with the notches of the first rims 311 and 313).
Les mouvements de l'enrouleur 10 et de la presse 20 sont donc dissociés.  The movements of the reel 10 and the press 20 are thus dissociated.
Dans ce mode de réalisation de l'invention, la manette 40 peut être positionnée de telle sorte que sa poignée 412 se situe à proximité de la poignée 312 du levier 30.  In this embodiment of the invention, the handle 40 can be positioned so that its handle 412 is located near the handle 312 of the lever 30.
D'autres dispositifs de débrayage 90 que celui décrit ci-dessus sont possibles.  Other disengaging devices 90 than that described above are possible.
Par exemple, les fourches 901 et 903 sont munies à leur extrémité inférieure d'un aimant au lieu de crochets. En faisant pivoter ces fourches autour de leurs liaisons pivots avec les bras 301 et 303, on déplace les aimants entre une première position où ils sont solidarisés avec les premiers volants 311 et 313, et une seconde position où ils sont solidarisés avec les seconds volants 321 et 323. Ainsi, dans cette première position, le levier 30 entraine les premiers volants 311 et 313, et donc l'enrouleur 10, la presse 20 restant immobile. Dans cette seconde position, le levier 30 entraine les seconds volants 321 et 323, et donc la presse 20, l'enrouleur 10 restant immobile. For example, the forks 901 and 903 are provided at their lower end with a magnet instead of hooks. By rotating these forks around their pivot links with the arms 301 and 303, the magnets between a first position where they are secured to the first wheels 311 and 313, and a second position where they are secured to the second wheels 321 and 323. Thus, in this first position, the lever 30 drives the first flying 311 and 313 , and therefore the reel 10, the press 20 remaining stationary. In this second position, the lever 30 drives the second wheels 321 and 323, and therefore the press 20, the reel 10 remaining stationary.
Avantageusement, la machine 1 comprend des ressorts de rappel destinés à ramener le levier 30 à sa position initiale sensiblement verticale, depuis sa première position abaissée (enrouleur 10 enroulé) ou sa seconde position abaissée (presse 20 abaissée), ce qui évite un effort à l'utilisateur pour ramener le levier 30 à sa position initiale.  Advantageously, the machine 1 comprises return springs intended to return the lever 30 to its substantially vertical initial position, since its first lowered position (wound winder 10) or its second lowered position (press 20 lowered), which avoids an effort to the user to return the lever 30 to its initial position.
Un premier ressort de rappel est fixé à une extrémité sur la paroi latérale 111 du premier bati 11, et à son autre extrémité sur la circonférence du disque 121. Ainsi, lorsqu'on abaisse le levier 30 pour actionner l'enrouleur 10, on tend ce premier ressort (ressort de tension), qui ramène le levier 30 à sa position initiale. Un autre premier ressort de rappel peut de façon similaire être fixé à une extrémité sur l'autre paroi latérale 113 du premier bati 11, et à son autre extrémité sur la circonférence de l'autre disque 123, ce qui réparti l'effort de rappel symétriquement sur la machine 1.  A first return spring is fixed at one end to the side wall 111 of the first frame 11, and at its other end to the circumference of the disc 121. Thus, when the lever 30 is lowered to actuate the winder 10, it tends to this first spring (tension spring), which returns the lever 30 to its initial position. Another first return spring can similarly be fixed at one end to the other side wall 113 of the first frame 11, and at its other end to the circumference of the other disc 123, which distributes the return force symmetrically on the machine 1.
Un second ressort de rappel est fixé sur une partie supérieure de la paroi latérale 211 du second bati 21, et à son autre extrémité sur une partie inférieure de la crémaillère 261. Ainsi, lorsqu'on abaisse le levier 30 pour actionner la presse 20, on tend ce second ressort (ressort de tension), qui ramène le levier 30 à sa position initiale. Un autre second ressort de rappel peut de façon similaire être fixé à une extrémité sur la paroi latérale 213 du second bati 21, et à son autre extrémité sur la crémaillère 263, ce qui réparti l'effort de rappel symétriquement sur la machine 1. Alternativement, ces seconds ressorts peuvent être fixés sur une partie inférieure des parois latérales 211 et 213 du second bati 21, et sur une partie supérieure des crémaillères 261 et 263, ces seconds ressorts étant alors des ressorts de compression qui sont comprimés lorsqu'on abaisse le levier 30.  A second return spring is fixed on an upper part of the side wall 211 of the second frame 21, and at its other end on a lower part of the rack 261. Thus, when the lever 30 is lowered to actuate the press 20, this second spring (tension spring) is tensioned, which brings the lever 30 back to its initial position. Another second return spring can similarly be fixed at one end to the side wall 213 of the second frame 21, and at its other end to the rack 263, which distributes the restoring force symmetrically to the machine 1. Alternatively these second springs can be fixed on a lower part of the side walls 211 and 213 of the second frame 21, and on an upper part of the racks 261 and 263, these second springs then being compression springs which are compressed when the lever 30.
En outre, un troisième ressort de rappel peut être situé entre le second bati 21 et la manette 40, de façon à ramener le bloc 233 de sa position basse (manette 40 abaissée) à sa position haute initiale (manette 40 relevée) lorsque l'utilisateur cesse d'appuyer sur la manette 40. In addition, a third return spring can be located between the second frame 21 and the lever 40, so as to return the block 233 of its low position (lever 40 lowered) to its initial high position (lever 40 raised) when the user stops pressing the lever 40.
L'un ou plusieurs des ressorts ci-dessus peut être présent sur la machine 1.  One or more of the above springs may be present on the machine 1.
Dans tes modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus, l'actionneur 30 actionne (entraine) l'enrouleur 10 et la presse 20 par l'intermédiaire d'engrenages (311, 1218, 313, 1238, 321, 261, 323, 263).  In the embodiments described above, the actuator 30 drives (drives) the winder 10 and the press 20 through gears (311, 1218, 313, 1238, 321, 261, 323, 263). .
D'autres types d'entraînement sont possibles.  Other types of training are possible.
