HAND PEELER

Abstract

The present invention relates to a hand peeling device with which accumulating peels can easily be disposed of. The technical field of the invention is that of new hand peelers fitted with a mobile part (30) that moves along the cutting system (10) fixed to a handle (20). This arrangement facilitates the removal of the peels and therefore allows the peeling device to remain efficient. The mobile part subsequently returns to its original position by means of a device (40) having a restoring force.

Claims

1. A peeling device comprising a handle and a cutting system with at least one blade and a cutting guide, characterized in that it comprises a movable part which moves in translation in the longitudinal direction of the cutting system. The movement of this moving part makes it possible to remove the peelings from the peeling device in order to preserve its effectiveness.

2. Device according to the first claim, characterized in that the moving part automatically returns to its original position by means of a return mechanism.

3. Device according to the first claim wherein the moving part is mounted on an oscillating cutting system.

4. Device according to the first claim wherein the moving part is actuated via a gear system to multiply the distance travelled by the moving part.

5. Device according to the first claim wherein the moving part is actuated via an extension to allow reaching the end of the cutting system.

6. Device according to the first claim wherein the moving part blocks itself in original position.

7. Device according to the first claim wherein a stop prevents the moving part to unhook from the cutting system.

Description

DESCRIPTION OF FIG. 1

[0017] FIG. 1 shows a cutting system 10 mounted on a handle 20 in the original position. The cutting system 10 is provided with a double blade 13, two cutting guides 11 and is fixed to the handle 20 at one of these ends and parallel thereto. The groove 22 holds a resilient 40 in connection with the handle 20 and the movable part 30 thanks to the grooves 32. This piece 30 has two hooks 31 to hold it on the cutting system 10 while allowing it to slide on.

DESCRIPTION OF FIG. 2

[0018] FIG. 2 shows the moving part 30 when pushed forward to get rid of the peelings. It also allows to better see the groove 22 of the handle and the elastic 40 when stretched.

DESCRIPTION OF FIG. 3

[0019] FIG. 3 shows the moving part 30 of FIGS. 1 and 2 to show the hooks 31 which maintains it on the cutting system and the grooves 32 which hold the elastic.

DESCRIPTION OF FIG. 4

[0020] FIG. 4 shows the moving part 30 mounted on a hand peeler whose cutting system is perpendicular to the handle 20. This peeler also allows a slight oscillation of the cutting system 10. The cutting system 10 has two rounded ends 14 to allow its oscillation with respect to the handle 20, it is also provided with a blade 13 and a cutting guide 11The handle 20 has two holes 23 on each side in which the rounded ends 14 of the cutting system 10 are inserted. There is also a hook 21 for limiting the oscillation of the cutting system 10. The spring 50 allows the return to the original position of the movable part 30 to which it is held by the hole 33 on the moving part and around a rounded portion 14 on the cutting system 10. The moving part 30 can slide without separating from the cutting system 10 thanks to the hooks 31.

[0021] As goes without saying, the invention is not limited to the embodiments of this hand peeler which have been presented above as examples. It encompasses all variants of implementation and application respecting the same principle. This is so, in particular, that the peeling device object of the invention can also be designed with an intermediate system between the moving part and a manual action such as a gear system which makes it possible to multiply the distance or the effort obtained by the manual action. We can also consider a simple extension, fixed or not, to the moving part which will serve to facilitate the use of the mechanism if the cutting system is too far from the hand holding the manual peeler. It can also be envisaged that the moving part slides along the cutting system with another means than the hooks to allow translation.
