Definitions

  • the invention relates to a one-handed kitchen tongs with closure mechanism.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a one-handed kitchen tongs with a single-handed closure mechanism which allows the closure mechanism to be opened and closed to a minimum with virtually any holding of the kitchen tongs in the hand and reducing the mechanical effort, with the corresponding function intuitive and their success should be visually directly verifiable.
  • This is achieved by a single-handed kitchen tongs according to claim 1, advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims and the description.
  • the single-handed kitchen tongs accordingly comprise a spring mechanism, a closure flap, a first leg having a first gripper area at one end and a first end portion at another end, and a second leg having a second gripper area at one end and a second gripper area at one end has second termination area.
  • the spring mechanism drives apart the gripper areas by means of a spring force. Between the gripper regions and the end regions, a rotation axis for the legs is defined. The legs thus form a kind of rocker, so that the gripper areas move apart when the end areas move towards each other and vice versa.
  • the flap has at its free end a first clamping surface and a first stop surface and the second leg has a second clamping surface and a second stop surface for the closure flap.
  • the closure flap is fastened on a first leg from the rotation axis in the region of the end portion of the first leg about a pivot axis so as to be freely pivotable.
  • the second abutment surface is formed on the second leg so that an abutment position can be achieved, in which the first clamping surface bears against the second clamping surface, the first abutment surface bears against the second abutment surface and in which the one-hand kitchen utensil is non-positively held in a closed state.
  • the spring mechanism is a leaf spring. This has the advantage of good cleanability and associated hygiene.
  • the spring mechanism may also have other configurations, for example, it may be designed as a leg spring.
  • the closure flap can also be fixed or detachable. This allows replacement in case of damage or wear
  • the closure flap is longer than the maximum distance between the free ends of the closure regions, and the free end of the closure flap is always located in an area between the legs.
  • the radius of movement of the free end of the flap is limited by the second stop surface and the first leg.
  • the second stop surface may be part of a frame of a window-like recess in the second leg or part of a rib on the second leg.
  • the closure flap has two surfaces at the free end, the first clamping surface and the first stop surface.
  • the spring force in the closed state prevents the single-handed kitchen tongs from being detached by themselves via the first clamping surface; the first stop surface limits the movement of the closure flap by abutment against the second stop surface.
  • the closure flap preferably has a step shape with a substantially right-angled offset; in the abutment position, the first abutment surface faces away from the gripper regions and the first clamping surface points in the direction of the second leg and presses against an inner side of the forceps in the closed state second thigh.
  • the second stop surface for the closure flap is formed by a part of the frame, which faces the second gripper region, of a window-like recess in the second leg and the second clamping surface is a the first leg facing surface of the second leg, wherein the closure flap can engage with the step shape in the window-like recess.
  • recesses are arranged in the second leg, they must be designed such that the closure flap can reach the abutment position. If recesses are arranged in the first leg, then they should be designed so that the closure flap remains in an area between the legs and can not swing out of this.
  • a folding angle between the closure flap and the first leg in the direction of the first gripper region is 90 degrees in the abutment position, but may also be less than or more than 90 degrees.
  • the folding angle in the abutment position can be determined both by the position of the pivot axis with respect to the second abutment surface and the shape, as well as by the orientation of the second abutment surface.
  • the legs are parallel to each other in the closed state.
  • the gravitational change in the position of the flap in the investment position by moving the one-handed kitchen tongs in a Verschlies position, a substantially vertical position with the gripper areas upwards, in combination with a change in the position of the legs to each other by overcoming the spring force and the opening of the One-handed kitchen tongs by a movement of one-handed kitchen tongs in a use position, a substantially vertical position with the Gripping areas down, in combination with a squeezing of the gripper areas, reached.
  • opening and closing of the single-handed kitchen tongs can be achieved without the aid of the second hand.
  • closing the one-handed kitchen tongs requires an orientation of the gripper areas upwards. This makes it difficult to inadvertently close the single-handed kitchen tongs during use, since the orientation of the single-handed kitchen tongs with the gripper areas upwards during use is an unusual action.
  • the legs, the flap and the spring mechanism can be made of metal, wood or plastic, for example.
  • the gripper areas may be fully or partially coated, for example, with silicone to allow use with non-scratch kitchen utensils. Also, the gripper areas may additionally or instead be provided with grapple-conveying devices, e.g. Teeth or spikes, be provided. The legs may be completely or partially coated with non-slip materials such as silicone. The coating is preferably arranged in a central region which serves as a handle.

  • Fig. 3 an area of the single-handed kitchen tongs of Fig. 1 with opened
  • FIG. 4 shows a region of the single-handed kitchen tongs from FIG. 1 with opened.
  • FIG. 5 shows a region of the one-handed kitchen tongs from FIG. 1 in the closed position

  • FIG. 1 shows a one-handed kitchen tongs 10 in the opened state with a first leg 12, with a first end region 16 and a first gripper region 20, and a second leg 14, with a second end region 18 and a second gripper region 22, between which a closure flap 24 and a leaf spring 26 are arranged.
  • the leaf spring 26 defines in its apex a rotation axis 28.
  • the gripper regions 20, 22 are provided in the embodiment shown at their edges in sections with a silicone coating 21 and have at their other edges in sections gripping teeth 23.
  • a pivot axis 30 of the closure flap 24 is formed perpendicular to the opening plane of the legs 12, 14 of the single-handed kitchen tongs 10 on the first leg 12 (FIG. 2).
  • a first recess 32 and in the second end region 18, a second recess 34 is provided in the first end region 16.
  • the first recess 32 is dimensioned such that the closure flap 24 can not pivot through it.
  • the second recess 34 is dimensioned so that the closure flap 24, when the legs 12, 14 are in parallel position, pivot with the free end through the second cutout 34 into an abutment position (see Fig. 2) substantially perpendicular to the legs 12, 14 can.
  • a portion of the frame of the second recess 34 facing the second gripper portion 22 defines a second abutment surface 36 (FIG. 5), a surface of the second leg 14 facing the first leg 12 defines a second clamping surface 44.
  • the closure flap 24 is sized to even at maximum distance of the end portions 20, 22 to each other can not swing out of the area between the end portions 20, 22 addition.
  • the closure flap 24 has a main part 38 which is fastened to the end of the first closure region 16 facing away from the first gripper region 20, a first clamping surface 40 and a first stop surface 42. These are arranged so that the closure flap 24 at the free end has a step shape with a substantially right-angled cranking. This step shape is aligned so that the first clamping surface 40 points in the direction of the second leg 14 in abutment position and the first stop surface 42 faces away from the gripper regions 20, 22.
  • the closure flap 24 In the closed state of the one-handed kitchen tongs 10 (FIGS. 2 and 6), the closure flap 24 is substantially perpendicular to the legs 12, 14 in the abutment position, the first clamping surface 40 abuts against the second clamping surface 44 and the first stop surface 42 abuts the second stop surface 36 at.
  • a spring force exerted by the leaf spring 26, which drives the gripper regions 20, 22 apart, via the rocker function of the rotation axis 28 exerts a clamping force on the closure flap 24, which prevents an independent release of the closure flap 24.
  • the two legs 12, 14 are compressed in the area between the leaf spring 26 and the gripper regions 20, 22 with one hand while the single-handed kitchen tongs 10 move substantially vertically with the gripper regions 20, 22 is kept down in a use position in which it is also commonly used for grasping.
  • About the rocker function of the rotation axis 28 is increased by the compression of the distance of the end portions 16, 18 and the clamping of the flap 24 is released.
  • the closure flap 24 pivots inwardly between the two legs 12, 14, so that the leaf spring 26, the gripper portions 20, 22 after completing the compression of the gripper portions 20, 22nd can disperse until the opening movement is completed by a relaxation of the leaf spring 26 (FIGS. 1 and 4).
  • the legs 12, 14 are pressed together in the region between the leaf spring 26 and the gripper regions 20, 22 with one hand, the single-handed kitchen tongs 10 being held substantially vertically with the gripper regions 20, 22 upwards in a closed position (FIGS ), so that the closure flap 24 falls by its own weight in the investment position in which it is perpendicular to the two legs 12, 14 (Fig. 6).
  • the second stop surface 36 limits the movement of the closure flap 24 beyond the vertical position to the two legs 12, 14.
