Description

DESCRIPTION

FILTERING SPOON

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The object of the present invention, as stated in the title, is a filtering spoon that allows the user to collect food from any container and immediately discharge the liquid, leaving only the solid part in the spoon.

This invention is preferably intended for babies and people with some type of specific dysfunction.

It is an innovation that, within current techniques, provides previously unknown advantages.

TECHNIQUE SECTOR

The present invention belongs to the food sector and more specifically, to household goods.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There are several antecedents on spoon improvements.

Among the nearby documents we can refer to:

- Utility Model ES 1066974 U for "Perfected Spoon".

Once we have studied the file, we observe that it is a spoon, with an attached device to cool food, with totally different characteristics from the invention described here.

- Utility Model U0189755, requested on 03/16/1973 for "Improved spoon for babies."

Once this file has been studied, we see that it differs conceptually from the invention described here, since it mainly claims a spoon with a thermometer in its concave part.

As a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although various spoon designs are known, at least by the applicant, the existence of none that present structural and constitutive technical characteristics equal or similar to those presented by the applicant is unknown. filtering spoon claimed here.

The object of the present invention consists of a filtering spoon that has a concave surface on its head, where through slits have been made parallel to the handle and two other small holes on the sides, which allows the user to collect food. solids from any container and immediately discharge the liquid, leaving only the solid part in the spoon.

This invention is preferably intended for babies and people with some type of specific dysfunction, who are bothered or harmed by the ingestion of liquids or the broth of soupy foods.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

To complete the description that is being made and in order to help better understand its characteristics, this descriptive report is accompanied as an integral part by some drawings in which, with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, it has been represented the following:

FIGURE 1.

Front view of the filtering spoon.

FIGURE 2.

View of the filter scoop from the back

And in these figures, identical elements are called with the same references, among which we distinguish:

(1).- spoon handle,

(2).- bowl,

(3).- straight through slits,

(3').- central straight through slits,

(4).- round through holes.

In view of the figures, a preferred, although non-limiting, embodiment of the proposed invention is described below, which consists of a filtering spoon.

As can be seen in Figures 1 and 2, the filtering spoon is configured as an elongated handle (1) attached to a bowl (2) with a concave upper and convex rear surface.

In the bowl (2) there are six straight through slots (3) parallel to each other, three closer to the handle (1) and the other three closer to the upper edge of the bowl.

These straight through slots (3), have a thickness between 3-6mm, occupying 80% of the length of the bowl (2), the central through slots (3') are located in the center of the theoretical axis of the bowl and present longer than the rest.

On the sides of the bowl, in the middle part of it and further outside the straight through slots (3), there are two round through holes (4).

With this arrangement of straight through slits (3) and round through holes (4), when the bowl (2) collects food from any container, once it is outside of it, the liquid or broth is filtered through both arrangements (slits). (3), (3') and round through holes (4)), leaving the solid food in the bowl free of liquid/broth, which is the purpose of this invention.

Having sufficiently described the nature of the invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, it must be stated that the provisions previously indicated and represented in the attached drawings are susceptible to detailed modifications as long as they do not alter their fundamental principles, established in the paragraphs above and summarized in the following claims.
