Abstract

The invention relates to a spoon with flexible edges, formed by a rigid part having an edge that is made from a flexible material (silicone or other). The spoon is used to extract a product from a container and the flexible edges thereof adopt the shape of the spoon to that of the container such that the container can be thoroughly cleaned and all of the product removed.

Description

DESCRIPCIÓN  DESCRIPTION

CUCHARA CON BORDES FLEXIBLES SPOON WITH FLEXIBLE EDGES

CAMPO TÉCNICO DE LA INVENCIÓN TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

La presente invención se refiere a un utensilio y más particularmente a una cuchara con bordes flexibles que puede ser utilizada además como espátula. The present invention relates to a utensil and more particularly to a spoon with flexible edges that can also be used as a spatula.

ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Son conocidas en el estado del arte las cucharas y particularmente cucharas de diversos materiales rígidos tales como el plástico. En general y como es sabido, las cucharas encontradas en el mercado son rígidas en toda su forma, y no permiten sustraer de forma completa y acabada el contenido de los envases y/o potes de comestibles como por ejemplo yogurt o postres. Spoons and particularly spoons of various rigid materials such as plastic are known in the state of the art. In general and as is known, the spoons found in the market are rigid in all their form, and do not allow the contents of the containers and / or pots of groceries to be completely and finished, such as yogurt or desserts.

La presente invención provee una cuchara con un reborde de un material plástico flexible del tipo silicona u otro similar, en sus bordes frontal y laterales. Dicho reborde es continuo al espesor de la zona rígida de la cuchara para no generar residuos entre cada una de las partes. The present invention provides a spoon with a flange of a flexible plastic material of the silicone or other similar type, at its front and side edges. Said flange is continuous to the thickness of the rigid zone of the spoon so as not to generate waste between each of the parts.

La invención es referida en cuanto a la materialidad diferenciada por un sector flexible que permite la doble función de una cuchara tradicional más la de una espátula al amoldar su forma a la del recipiente. The invention refers to the materiality differentiated by a flexible sector that allows the double function of a traditional spoon plus that of a spatula by adapting its shape to that of the container.

BREVE DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN La cuchara con bordes flexibles está compuesta por una parte rígida con borde en material flexible (silicona u otro). En uso, la cuchara es utilizada para extraer producto de un envase y sus bordes flexibles amoldan su forma a la del recipiente de modo de permitir la profunda limpieza del mismo y la completa extracción del producto. DESCRIPCION DE LA FIGURA BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The spoon with flexible edges is composed of a rigid part with a flexible material edge (silicone or other). In use, the spoon is used to extract product from a container and its flexible edges mold its shape to that of the container in order to allow the deep cleaning of the container and the complete extraction of the product. DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURE

La figura 1 muestra una vista en perspectiva de una cuchara de acuerdo con la presente invención. Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a spoon according to the present invention.

DESCRIPCIÓN DETALLADA DE LA INVENCIÓN: La invención se refiere a una novedosa, original y práctica cuchara realizada en un material rígido que comprende bordes flexibles. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: The invention relates to a novel, original and practical spoon made of a rigid material comprising flexible edges.

Como puede observarse en la figura 1 , la cuchara propuesta (1 ) comprende un elemento de mango (2), unido a una porción cóncava (3) formando la cuchara propiamente dicha, una superficie frontal flexible (4) adherida al extremo de la porción cóncava (3), y superficies laterales flexibles (5, 6) continuamente unidas a la superficie frontal (4) adheridas también a la superficie cóncava. La superficie frontal flexible (4) conforma el borde frontal de la cuchara en tanto que las superficies laterales flexibles (5, 6) forman los bordes laterales. El elemento de mango (2) y la porción cóncava (3) son de un material rígido, seleccionado de entre un metal, una loza, una madera, o un material plástico rígido. Las superficies flexibles frontal y laterales son de un material flexible tal como por ejemplo una silicona. As can be seen in Figure 1, the proposed spoon (1) comprises a handle element (2), attached to a concave portion (3) forming the spoon itself, a flexible front surface (4) adhered to the end of the portion concave (3), and flexible side surfaces (5, 6) continuously attached to the front surface (4) also adhered to the concave surface. The flexible front surface (4) forms the front edge of the spoon while the flexible side surfaces (5, 6) form the side edges. The handle element (2) and the concave portion (3) are of a rigid material, selected from a metal, a crockery, a wood, or a rigid plastic material. The flexible front and side surfaces are made of a flexible material such as a silicone.

Durante su utilización el borde frontal de la parte cóncava de la cuchara permite untar y extraer del envase (vaso u otro recipiente) de manera fácil y practica su contenido tanto del fondo del envase como así también de los laterales, ya que funciona como una espátula/contenedora. Mientras arrastra el contenido, el mismo se va alojando en el "centro" de la zona cóncava (3) de la cuchara. La superficie frontal flexible (4) y las superficies laterales flexibles (5, 6) son coplanares con la superficie de la porción cóncava (3) de la cuchara. During use, the front edge of the concave part of the spoon makes it possible to spread and remove from the container (glass or other container) easily and practically its contents both from the bottom of the container as well as from the sides, since it works as a spatula / container. While dragging the content, it is housed in the "center" of the concave zone (3) of the spoon. The flexible front surface (4) and the flexible side surfaces (5, 6) are coplanar with the surface of the concave portion (3) of the spoon.
