Description

ACCESSOIRE POUR LA BOISSON, DU GENRE CHALUMEAU FORMANT BEVERAGE ACCESSORY, OF THE FORMING TORCH TYPE
AGITATEUR.STIRRER.
L'invention est du domaine des accessoires pour la boisson, et elle a pour objet un chalumeau formant agitateur.The invention is in the field of accessories for beverages, and it relates to a torch forming an agitator.
On connaît des accessoires pour la boisson composés d'un chalumeau, pour l'aspiration des liquides contenus dans un verre, associé à un agitateur, pour le mélange homogène du liquide avec d'autres ingrédients, tels que du sucre. Pour connaître un environnement technologique proche de l'invention, on pourra se reporter aux brevets GB 1023430 (DACHINGER), BE 497016 (GROEN ET AL), US 1606039 (NORMAN), US 1490785 (PURNELL) et US 1666106 (NORMAN) . Malgré la diversité des accessoires du genre connus, aucun n'offre une structure satisfaisante qui résolve les problèmes principaux suivants, rédhibitoires pour une utilisation de ces accessoires, en usage professionnel notamment: a) l'association entre le chalumeau et l'agitateur doit être rapide et aisée, pour offrir une commodité d'utilisation permettant un service rapide des boissons, b) l'accessoire doit être d'un coût de revient et d'exploitation compétitif, c) la liaison entre le chalumeau et l'agitateur doit être telle que l'accessoire autorise une aspiration du liquide depuis le fond du verre, tout en rendant impossible un glissement du chalumeau le long de l'agitateur, vers le fond du verre notamment. d) la réglementation en matière d'hygiène doit être respectée, sans pour autant rendre l'accessoire totalement "jetable" afin d'en réduire le coût d'exploitation.Accessories for the drink are known which are composed of a torch, for the suction of the liquids contained in a glass, associated with a stirrer, for the homogeneous mixing of the liquid with other ingredients, such as sugar. To know a technological environment close to the invention, reference may be made to patents GB 1023430 (DACHINGER), BE 497016 (GROEN ET AL), US 1606039 (NORMAN), US 1490785 (PURNELL) and US 1666106 (NORMAN). Despite the variety of accessories of the known type, none offers a satisfactory structure which solves the following main problems, prohibitive for the use of these accessories, in professional use in particular: a) the association between the torch and the agitator must be fast and easy, to provide convenience of use allowing rapid service of drinks, b) the accessory must be of competitive cost and operating cost, c) the connection between the torch and the agitator must be such that the accessory allows suction of the liquid from the bottom of the glass, while making it impossible for the torch to slide along the agitator, in particular towards the bottom of the glass. d) hygiene regulations must be respected, without making the accessory totally "disposable" in order to reduce the operating cost.
Le but de l'invention est de proposer un accessoire pour la boisson, dont la structure réponde aux exigences susvisées. La démarche inventive a consisté à relier par emboîtement le chalumeau à l'agitateur au moyen d'au moins deux organes, l'un formé d'un clip ménagé à l'extrémité proximale de l'agitateur, l'autre formé d'un orifice ménagé à l'extrémité distale de l'agitateur et disposé suivant l'orientation générale de ce dernier. La mise en place du chalumeau est rapide et aisée, en enfilant dans un premier temps le bout de son extrémité distale à l'intérieur de l'orifice et en exerçant dans un deuxième temps une poussée latérale aux environs de son extrémité proximale pour l'introduire à l'intérieur du clip. On notera qu'une gorge est avantageusement ménagée sur la face de l'agitateur en vis à vis du chalumeau, pour guider l'utilisateur dans son geste d'introduction du chalumeau à l'intérieur du clip, et pour centrer le chalumeau sur l'agitateur.The object of the invention is to provide an accessory for the drink, the structure of which meets the abovementioned requirements. The inventive step consisted in connecting by interlocking the torch to the agitator by means of at least two organs, one formed by a clip arranged at the proximal end of the agitator, the other formed by a orifice formed at the distal end of the agitator and arranged in the general orientation of the latter. The installation of the torch is quick and easy, by first threading the end of its distal end inside the orifice and then exerting a lateral thrust around its proximal end for the insert inside the clip. It will be noted that a groove is advantageously provided on the face of the agitator opposite the torch, to guide the user in his gesture of introducing the torch inside the clip, and to center the torch on the 'stirrer.
Par ailleurs, un conduit est ménagé à l'extrémité distale de l'agitateur de manière à déboucher sur l'extérieur à la base de l'accessoire et sur le dit orifice pour communiquer avec la paille, et permettre de ce fait une aspiration du liquide depuis le fond du verre.In addition, a conduit is provided at the distal end of the agitator so as to lead to the exterior at the base of the accessory and to the said orifice to communicate with the straw, and thereby allow aspiration of the liquid from the bottom of the glass.
Enfin, le conduit est d'un diamètre inférieur à celui de l'orifice, de manière à ce que le fond de ce dernier forme un épaulement de butée pour le chalumeau, afin d'interdire à ce dernier de glisser le long de l'agitateur vers le fond du verre.Finally, the conduit is of a diameter smaller than that of the orifice, so that the bottom of the latter forms an abutment shoulder for the torch, in order to prevent the latter from sliding along the agitator towards the bottom of the glass.
Grâce à l'ensemble de ces dispositions, l'accessoire de l'invention est viable pour une utilisation compétitive, en usage professionnel notamment. On remarquera aussi que la combinaison entre le clip et l'orifice d'emboîtement du chalumeau offre la possibilité pour l'agitateur de recevoir des chalumeaux courants du commerce, grâce au fait qu'un léger jeu peut exister entre le chalumeau et l'orifice sans pour autant autoriser un flottement du chalumeau sur l'agitateur, sur lequel il est néanmoins positionné et maintenu par le clip et l'épaulement de butée, et accessoirement par la gorge. Par ailleurs, la présence possible du dit jeu facilite la mise en place du chalumeau dans l'orifice et autorise des tolérances approximatives de fabrication de l'agitateur, permettant d'en réduire le coût de fabrication.Thanks to all of these provisions, the accessory of the invention is viable for competitive use, especially for professional use. It will also be noted that the combination between the clip and the fitting socket of the torch offers the possibility for the agitator to receive common commercial torches, thanks to the fact that a slight clearance may exist between the torch and the orifice without allowing the torch to float on the agitator, on which it is nevertheless positioned and maintained by the clip and the abutment shoulder, and incidentally by the throat. Furthermore, the possible presence of said clearance facilitates the establishment of the torch in the orifice and allows approximate manufacturing tolerances of the agitator, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost.
L'orifice est de préférence de conformation conique, pour permettre l'introduction et le maintien de façon étanche, du bout de chalumeaux de diamètres différents, compris notament entre 4,5 mm et 6,5 mm. La présente invention sera mieux comprise, et des détails en relevant apparaîtront, à la description qui va en être faite de formes préférées de réalisation, en relation avec les figures des planches annexées, dans lesquelles: les fig.l et 2 sont des vues respectivement de profil et de dos d'un accessoire selon une première forme de réalisation de l'invention, les fig.3 et 4 sont des vues respectivement de face et de profil en coupe longitudinale de l'agitateur participant d'un même accessoire, ces vues étant accompagnées de trois coupes détaillant le clip (coupe AA), le manche (coupe BB) et l'orifice recevant le bout distal du chalumeau (coupe CC), les fig.5,6 et 7,8 sont des vues de face et de profil illustrant respectivement des deuxième et troisième formes de réalisation d'un accessoire de l'invention, avec surface publicitaire de forme située à l'extrémité proximale de l'accessoire. la fig.9 est une vue en perspective montrant une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention, la fig.10 est une vue en perspective illustrant un accessoire avec extrémité formant agitateur et surface publicitaire personnalisée.The orifice is preferably of conical conformation, to allow the introduction and the sealing maintenance, of the end of torches of different diameters, notably between 4.5 mm and 6.5 mm. The present invention will be better understood, and details will become apparent from the description which will be made of preferred embodiments, in connection with the figures of the appended plates, in which: FIGS. 1 and 2 are views respectively. in profile and in back of an accessory according to a first embodiment of the invention, FIGS. 3 and 4 are respectively front and side views in longitudinal section of the agitator participating in the same accessory, these views being accompanied by three sections detailing the clip (section AA), the handle (section BB) and the orifice receiving the distal end of the torch (section CC), figs. 5,6 and 7,8 are front views and in profile illustrating respectively second and third embodiments of an accessory of the invention, with shaped advertising surface located at the proximal end of the accessory. Fig.9 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the invention, Fig.10 is a perspective view illustrating an accessory with end forming agitator and personalized advertising surface.
Sur les figures, un accessoire pour la boisson comprend un chalumeau 10 associé par emboîtement à un agitateur 2, pour la consommation des liquides et des aliments de faible consistance. La caractéristique de cet accessoire réside dans le fait que les moyens d'emboîtement du chalumeau 10 à l'agitateur comprennent un clip 4 et un orifice d'emboîtement 12, respectivement ménagés aux extrémités proximale et distale de l'agitateur 2. Ce dernier 2 comporte à son extrémité distale un conduit 16 qui débouche sur l'extérieur à la base de l'accessoire d'une part, et sur l'orifice d'emboîtement 12 pour communiquer avec le chalumeau 10 d'autre part. Le fond de l'orifice 12 forme un épaulement 18 de butée au chalumeau 10 à l'encontre de son glissement le long de l'agitateur 2 vers la base de l'accessoire.In the figures, an accessory for the drink comprises a torch 10 associated by interlocking with an agitator 2, for the consumption of liquids and low consistency foods. The characteristic of this accessory resides in the fact that the means for fitting the torch 10 to the agitator comprise a clip 4 and a fitting orifice 12, respectively formed at the proximal and distal ends of the agitator 2. The latter 2 comprises at its distal end a conduit 16 which opens on the outside at the base of the accessory on the one hand, and on the fitting orifice 12 to communicate with the torch 10 on the other hand. The bottom of the orifice 12 forms a shoulder 18 for a torch stop 10 against its sliding along the agitator 2 towards the base of the accessory.
