[0030] Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of a culinary preparation device 1 is shown, which includes a graduated container 2 and a rotating working member 3 configured to be arranged in the graduated container 2. The graduated container 2 has a bottom 20, a peripheral side wall 21 rising from the bottom 20, and an upper opening 22 extending opposite to the bottom 20. The culinary preparation device 1 includes a cover 4 configured to cover the graduated container 2.
[0031] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2In the illustrated embodiment, the cover 4 comprises a manual drive device 5 configured to drive a drive member 8 arranged on the lower surface of the cover 4. When the cover 4 covers the graduated container 2, the drive member 8 engages with the rotating working member 3 arranged in the graduated container 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The manual drive device 5 shown is a rope-type manual drive device, and the transmission member of the manual drive device that drives the drive member 8 is not in the Figure 2 As a variant, other types of manual drive devices, in particular handle-type manual drive devices, can be envisaged.
[0032] As in Figure 2 As can be seen in FIG. 1 , the rotating working member 3 is arranged in the graduated container 2. The rotating working member 3 is guided to rotate in the graduated container 2. For this purpose, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As can be seen in the figure, the graduated container 2 has a centering configuration 6 rising from the bottom 20, and the rotating working member 3 has a receiving portion 7 configured to receive the centering configuration 6. As a variant, the receiving portion can be configured in the bottom 20, and the centering configuration can be configured at the lower end of the rotating working member 3.
[0033] As in Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As can be seen in the figure, the peripheral side wall 21 includes a plurality of scale series 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d, 30e, 30f. Each of the scale series 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d, 30e, 30f includes a plurality of scales rising to different levels relative to the bottom 20. Each of these scales defines the internal volume of the graduated container 2. The internal volume is a free volume, which corresponds to the free space left in the graduated container 2 by the rotating working member 3 when it is in place in the graduated container 2.
[0034] As in Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As can be seen in Figure 3, the graduation series 30a, 30b, 30c, 30d, 30e, 30f comprises a plurality of overlapping graduations. The graduation container 2 comprises two types of graduation series.
[0035] The first type of graduation series defines a regular graduation of the internal volume, e.g. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As can be seen in the milliliters (ml), as in Figure 2 and Figure 6 In centiliters (cl), as seen in Figure 7As can be seen in the diagram, the units are fluid ounces (oz). The graduation series 30a, 30b, 30c are of the first type.
[0036] The second type of graduation series comprises a plurality of graduations belonging to a recipe, each of which indicates the amount of an ingredient to be added to the graduated container 2 containing the rotating working member 3 in order to achieve the recipe, as in Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The scale series 30d, 30e, 30f belong to the second type.
[0037] The scale series, in particular the scale series of the second type, can be supplemented by at least one pictogram representing the ingredient to be added or the recipe to be achieved.
[0038] According to one embodiment, the pictogram may be a measurement pictogram associated with one of the plurality of scales. Thus, the measurement pictogram represents the component to be measured in the scale container 2 by means of the corresponding scale.
[0039] According to another embodiment, the pictogram may be an indicator pictogram that is independent of a plurality of scales but is associated with a scale series. Thus, the indicator pictogram represents the ingredient to be added to the scale container 2 and the amount of this ingredient.
[0040] According to yet another embodiment, the pictogram may be an explanatory pictogram associated with a scale series. The explanatory pictogram thus represents a recipe to be implemented corresponding to said scale series.
[0041] Figure 5 A recipe for making eight waffles is shown. The scale series 30d comprises a first scale comprising two dashes surrounding a measurement pictogram 31a representing a bag of flour and corresponding to the amount of flour to be added to the graduated container 2 containing the rotating working member 3. Two indicator pictograms 32a, 32b arranged above the first scale represent five spoons of sugar and half a bag of yeast, respectively. The scale series 30d comprises a second scale comprising two dashes surrounding another measurement pictogram 31b representing a milk carton and corresponding to the amount of milk to be added to the graduated container 2 containing the rotating working member 3 and the above-mentioned ingredients. Two further indicator pictograms 32c, 32d arranged above the second scale represent three eggs and two spoons of oil, respectively.
[0042] Figure 6A recipe for making eight large crepes is shown. The scale series 30e includes a first scale including two dashes surrounding a measurement pictogram 31a representing a bag of flour and corresponding to the amount of flour to be added to the graduated container 2 containing the rotating working member 3. The scale series 30e includes a second scale including two dashes surrounding another measurement pictogram 31b representing a milk carton and corresponding to the amount of milk to be added to the graduated container 2 containing the rotating working member 3 and the above-mentioned ingredients. Two other indicator pictograms 32c, 32d arranged above the second scale represent two eggs and two spoons of oil, respectively.
[0043] Figure 7 A recipe for making 18 pancakes is shown. The scale series 30f comprises a first scale comprising two dashes surrounding a measurement pictogram 31a representing a bag of flour and corresponding to the amount of flour to be added to the graduated container 2 containing the rotating working member 3. An indication pictogram 32b arranged above the first scale represents half a bag of yeast. The series of scales 30f comprises a second scale comprising two dashes surrounding another measurement pictogram 31b representing a milk carton and corresponding to the amount of milk to be added to the graduated container 2 containing the rotating working member 3 and the above-mentioned ingredients. Two further indication pictograms 32c, 32d arranged above the second scale represent two eggs and two spoons of oil, respectively.
[0044] Figures 1 to 7 The illustrated food preparation device operates and is used in the following manner.
[0045] The user places the rotating working member 3 in the graduated container 2 before introducing the ingredients into the graduated container 2. The user then selects a recipe on the peripheral side wall 21 and introduces the different ingredients in sequence, starting with the ingredient closest to the bottom 20 and ending with the ingredient closest to the upper opening 22. Thus, for example, Figure 5 In the waffle recipe shown, the user sequentially introduces flour until the first mark, then introduces five spoons of sugar, half a bag of yeast, milk until the second mark, introduces three eggs and two spoons of oil. Then, the user places the cover 4 in the upper opening 22 of the graduated container 2 so that the drive member 8 of the cover 4 engages with the rotating working member 3. Then, the user actuates the manual drive device 5 to drive the rotating working member 3 to rotate and mix the ingredients introduced into the graduated container 2 to achieve the desired preparation.
[0046] As a variant, the cover 4 may include an electric drive device that engages with the rotating working member 3 arranged in the graduated container 2 .
[0047] As a variant, the peripheral side wall 21 may comprise at least one series of graduations rising to different levels relative to the bottom 20 .
[0048] Various modifications and / or improvements that are obvious to those skilled in the art may be applied to the embodiments of the present invention described in this specification, as long as they do not exceed the scope of the present invention defined by the claims.
