Description

DESCRIPTION

VISCOUS FOOD SERVING UTENSIL

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The purpose of this utility model application is to register a kitchen utensil consisting of a spoon with a constant cross-section to serve viscous or pasty products that incorporates a mechanism with a series of advantages compared to the utensils used for this purpose.

It is known that in the kitchen and in the hospitality sector it is usual to serve, plate or dispense pasty and/or viscous products that can stick to the utensil or spoon through which they are being dispensed or served, this fact causes the person who is serving has to use another utensil to help loosen the food or the other hand also to help move the container or element where the pasty product is going to be served or dispensed. The present model solves this problem by incorporating parts or scrapers in the elongated spoon that slide along the surface of the spoon linearly and detach the pasty product so that it falls easily.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are devices that perform similar functions but have other shapes and mechanisms for extracting the product from the spoon, such as the mechanical ice cream scoop device with US patent number 576,395. Later this utensil has been improved, consisting of a hemisphere that contains a scraper or extractor piece that rotates and sweeps the entire surface of the hemisphere by means of a mechanism, detaching the pasty product and achieving its easy plating or dispensing.

However, the elements described only work with circular movements.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The invention consists of a spoon that is used to catch pasty and/or viscous foods that stick to its surface and has a system for extracting the product by means of scrapers with linear displacement that separate the product from the surface of the spoon and drops them into another container.

This new tool for dispensing or serving viscous products is made up of a spoon or container with a constant cross section, a handle and a scraper part, which contains a trigger, scrapers and rivets that hold the scrapers to the trigger part, so that the scrapers and the trigger move together.

The handle is the piece by which the utensil is held, the spoon is the one that grabs and contains the product to be dispensed, and the scraper piece is the piece that has a linear movement that allows the pasty product to be detached from the spoon.

The scraper piece has a linear movement, it is actuated with the finger and slides on the inside surface of the spoon and inside the handle, the handle houses a spring that returns the scraper piece to its initial position after it has been removed. activated with the trigger. This movement is what, through the scrapers, detaches the product from the spoon and allows it to be dispensed into another container.

The arrangement of these pieces described above is as follows, the main part is the spoon piece, it contains a projection that is inserted into the handle, the scraper piece has the same shape as the spoon and it adapts to its interior so that by sliding linearly, sweep and scrape the entire surface of the spoon, so that no product sticks to it. The piece of scrapers at the end of its area with the shape of the spoon has a trigger that goes through the piece of the spoon that is inserted in the handle, so that when the handle is taken by hand, the trigger can be activated above the handle. trigger that moves the scrapers. The handle has a slot that allows the trigger to slide through it and inside it contains a spring that is in contact with the trigger and with the inside of the handle, so to activate the trigger you must overcome the force exerted by the spring and when the trigger is released with the finger, the trigger and the scrapers return to their initial position thanks to the force exerted by the spring.

The spoon has a linear groove that serves to guide the displacement of the piece of scrapers, so that the scrapers always move parallel to the spoon and remain glued to the internal surface of the spoon so that a scraper of quality.

This spoon is inserted into the container containing the pasty product, which are usually trays or plates, a portion of it is extracted with the spoon and it is placed on a plate, served or dispensed on a plate or base of another food with one hand, without the need to Support yourself with another utensil to help loosen the pasty product from the spoon.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a set of drawings is attached as an integral part of said description, where for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented: following:

Figure 1 corresponds to a side view of the tool according to the characteristics of the invention.

Figure 2 corresponds to a bottom view of the tool according to the characteristics of the invention.

Figure 3 corresponds to a perspective view of the tool according to the characteristics of the invention.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

By way of example, a case of practical realization of the utensil for serving viscous foods that is the object of this utility model is represented.

Following the drawings you can see in the figures the handle of the utensil (2), which is used to grasp the utensil with the hand by means of which the operation of taking a pasty product from a container is carried out by means of the spoon (1), said product remains inside the spoon (1), and subsequently, it is dispensed by pressing the trigger (3), when you press the trigger (3), this pasty product is released from the spoon (1) thanks to the displacement of the scrapers (4) and falls on another element that can be a plate or another type of food support like donuts or bread.

Once we stop using the index finger on the trigger (3), the spring (6) returns the trigger (3) and the scrapers (4), joined by the rivets (5) that hold them together, to their initial position. , leaving the tool ready for a new product collection and dispensing.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION

The spoon utensil for serving viscous foods, object of this Utility Model, will be manufactured with the appropriate materials for its elements and components to be in contact with food products, stainless steel and polypropylene or other plastics.

Claims (2)

1. Spoon utensil for serving pasty or viscous products, characterized by being formed by a spoon with a constant cross-section (1) that contains a mechanism that allows the pasty or viscous product to be detached from the spoon so that it can be served with one hand without having to use other utensils or help actions with the other hand to unstick it. The mechanism contains some scrapers (4) attached by rivets or screws (5) to the trigger (3), which, when sliding, sweep the surface of the bucket (1) and detach the pasty or viscous product from it. 2. Spoon utensil for serving pasty or viscous products according to claim 1, characterized in that it has: - A spoon (1) with a constant cross section that contains a projection that is inserted into the handle (2). - A handle (2) that contains a hole for the spring (6) and a slot for the part (3) that contains the trigger and the scrapers. - And a trigger part (3) that contains some scrapers (4) held by rivets or screws (5), with the trigger part (3) the scrapers are activated that move linearly backwards sweeping the surface of the bucket and activating the spring (6) which, when it stops being compressed, returns the trigger with the scrapers to its initial position.
