Description

[0001] Set with cutlery for fireplace, grill and fire bowl

[0002] The invention relates to a set of cutlery for a fireplace, grill, or fire bowl, and a stand for the cutlery. The invention also relates to parts of the system.

[0003] A cutlery stand refers to an object that can be placed on a flat surface and on which the cutlery can then be held. A cutlery item is an object that can and should be used for operating a fireplace, fire bowl, or grill. A cutlery item is not intended or suitable for burning. Cutlery items are therefore generally made entirely or predominantly of fireproof materials. Examples of such cutlery items include a poker for stoking a fire, tongs for grasping grilled food or fuel, a brush or broom for sweeping ash, and a shovel for removing ash.

[0004] A fireplace set with a stand is known from DE 8205926 U1. The stand comprises a central rod with a handle and attached hooks. Utensils such as stoking tools can be hung from the hook. The handle can be grasped with one hand to move the fireplace set from one location to another.

[0005] The publication DE 102006 052 534 A1 discloses a fireplace set with fireplace tools and a stand for the tools. One tool is a shovel. The shovel can be held upright by a spike on the stand. The shovel includes a holder into which two additional fireplace tools, namely a poker and a brush, can be hung.

[0006] The invention further develops a set of cutlery for a fireplace, grill, or fire bowl. In particular, handling is simplified. Alternatively or additionally, the footprint, installation space, and / or material requirements for the set can be minimized.

[0007] A more advanced set includes at least one piece of cutlery for a grill, fire bowl, or fireplace. The set includes a base for holding the cutlery. Typically, the base can hold multiple pieces of cutlery.

[0008] Preferably, the at least one piece of cutlery can be detachably connected to the base. Once the cutlery piece is connected to the base, the cutlery piece can be grasped and lifted together with the base. The connection cannot then be released by gravity due to the weight of the set. The cutlery piece connected to the base can therefore serve as a handle for the set, allowing the set to be easily grasped, lifted, and moved from one location to another with one hand, away from the base. A separate handle is advantageously not required for this. This minimizes material expenditure and space requirements.

[0009] If the cutlery piece is detachably connected to the base, it can be removed from the base without the need for tools. If tools are required for detachment, then there is no detachable connection within the meaning of the invention. For example, the cutlery piece can be inserted into the base and then moved from the initially unconnected position to the connected position by a movement, such as a rotational movement. The cutlery piece can then be removed from the base again by a movement in the opposite direction.

[0010] An example of a detachable connection that can be achieved by a rotating movement is a bayonet connection.

[0011] Another example of a detachable connection between the base and the cutlery piece is a detachable snap-in connection. The cutlery piece then comprises a first element of the snap-in connection. The base comprises a second element of the snap-in connection. The snap-in connection can then be established, for example, by inserting the cutlery piece into the base. The snap-in connection can be released again, for example, by moving a snap-in element against the force of a spring.

[0012] A hook may be provided on the base. A piece of cutlery can then be hooked onto the hook, creating a detachable connection between the cutlery and the base, allowing the cutlery to be grasped, lifted, and then moved from one location to another along with the base.

[0013] A detachable connection between the base and the cutlery part can be realized by a magnetic connection or a Velcro connection.

[0014] The detachable connection can comprise a spring. The spring can be part of the base or part of the cutlery piece. If there is a connection between the cutlery piece and the base, the connection can be released by a movement that pre-tensions or further pre-tensions the spring. The spring can be made of metal, for example, for stability reasons. A metal spring is also advantageously made of a particularly heat-resistant material.

[0015] The cutlery piece that can be releasably connected to the base can be a pair of pliers with two pivoting arms. The pliers can be designed such that a pivoting movement of one arm establishes the releasable connection, and an opposite pivoting movement can release the connection. Thus, a pliers movement can be used to advantage to establish and release the connection between the base and the pliers.

[0016] Preferably, the legs of the pliers can be pivoted in one direction against a spring force. Preferably, the legs can be pressed together against the force of the spring and thus pivoted. The legs are then moved toward each other. The opposite pivoting movement can then be effected by the spring force. The spring force can be utilized to connect the base to the pliers particularly reliably and easily and to separate them again. If, for example, there is a connection between the pliers and the base, the legs can preferably be moved against the force of the spring to release the connection.

[0017] The tongs can be barbecue tongs. Barbecue tongs consist of two flat gripping elements with which a food item, such as a piece of meat, can be securely grasped and held. This is especially true for large pieces of meat. However, such tongs can also be used for grabbing fuel such as wood.

[0018] The tongs, and thus also the grill tongs, can have an opening into which a bolt of the base extends when the grill tongs are detachably connected to the base. The opening can be located at one end of a leg of the grill tongs. The bolt can protrude laterally from a wall of the base. When set up, the bolt can then extend horizontally. This can provide a particularly suitable connection that reliably allows the set to be lifted upwards, i.e., vertically.

[0019] Conversely, the tongs or barbecue tongs can have the bolt and the base the opening. However, this design is less preferable, as a bolt protruding from the tongs can be a nuisance.

[0020] The end with the opening is preferably located at the free end of one of the tongs' legs. This allows the tongs' pivoting motion to be optimally utilized for connecting to the base. The opening is also advantageous when grasping food, as it allows liquid to escape and helps hold the food in place.

[0021] The opening can be a slotted hole. This further simplifies connecting the pliers to the base.

[0022] Preferably, both free ends of the tongs have an opening, particularly in the form of a slotted hole, into which the bolt of the base can extend when the tongs are connected to the base. In the case of a slotted hole, less attention is required to the specific alignment of the tongs to connect them to the base.

[0023] The base can include two bolts. Each bolt can extend into an opening in the pliers when the pliers are detachably connected to the base. This creates a particularly stable, detachable connection. The two bolts can be arranged on opposite sides of the base.

[0024] Around one or both of the aforementioned openings, teeth can be arranged at least in sections, projecting inward. This allows an object to be gripped and held particularly reliably. The teeth are preferably arranged along straight, long sides of elongated holes. For stability reasons, short end faces preferably have collars that, like the teeth, can project inward. This applies particularly to the case of a one-piece construction of the tongs.

[0025] The tongs can be made from a single piece to make them particularly cost-effective to manufacture. For example, the tongs can be made from a metal strip that has been bent into a tong shape. One or more openings can be punched out of the strip material. Tooth shapes and / or collar shapes can be punched out and bent over. An opening can be provided in the connecting area between the two legs to provide stable legs that can be pivoted against a spring force with little effort. This opening is preferably also an elongated hole. The hole in the connecting area can also be used to hang the barbecue tongs on a hook while the tongs are in use. The handle area of ​​the tongs is then particularly easy to reach.

[0026] The connecting area between the two legs can be curved and act as a spring. One piece of the set can be a poker. The poker can be formed by a long leg and a short leg.

[0027] The short leg can, for example, be moved into a slot in the base by a rotating movement in order to detachably connect the poker to the base.

[0028] The long leg of the poker can form a right angle with the short leg. The poker is then L-shaped. This shape advantageously allows for a particularly small footprint for the base if the base can also hold a second piece of cutlery. The second piece of cutlery can then be positioned above the short leg without the long leg of the poker hindering or even preventing this particularly space-saving arrangement.

[0029] The short leg of the poker can have a flat surface on the side facing away from the long leg. This flat surface advantageously stabilizes the poker when placed on a base of the stand.

[0030] Preferably, the short leg of the poker has a flat surface on both its top and bottom. This allows for technically simple production from a single strip material.

[0031] The long leg of the poker can be a tube. Air can then be pumped or blown through the tube. A fire can be ignited more effectively by supplying air in this way. This can be done from a location sufficiently far away from the fire. The tube can be a round tube with a circular cross-section. However, it is also possible for the tube to be a square tube, for example.

[0032] The base may have an upwardly projecting spike. The spike may extend into a piece of cutlery and thus help hold the cutlery when the cutlery is held by the base. For example, the spike may extend into a tube of the cutlery when the cutlery is held by the spike. The tube may be the long leg of the poker.

[0033] The mandrel must form a right angle with the base from which it protrudes. Instead of a mandrel, a rod can be used. However, a mandrel, i.e. a rod with a tapered end, has the advantage of making it easier to thread a pipe through.

[0034] The spike or rod can have a larger diameter at the base and taper towards the top, for example, in a stepped manner. If the cutlery item is held by the spike or rod, the cutlery item can rest on the area with the larger diameter and thus maintain a distance from the surface. If the cutlery item is a broom or brush, this can advantageously prevent the bristles of the broom or brush from touching the surface, which could then be detrimentally bent.

[0035] The base can hold the poker and tongs, for example. The short leg of the poker can then be positioned between the legs of the tongs. This minimizes the base's footprint.

[0036] The base can have a recess into which the piece of cutlery extends when the piece of cutlery is held by the base. The side wall of the recess can border on the pieces of cutlery and thus contribute to a stable hold of the pieces of cutlery. If one of the pieces of cutlery is the poker, then the side wall can border on the long leg of the poker and thus stabilize the hold of the poker. The area of ​​the side wall bordering the long leg can enclose the long leg of the poker, at least in part, in order to further improve the hold of the poker. The area of ​​the side wall bordering the long leg can enclose the long leg of the poker, for example in a semicircle or arc shape, in order to stabilize the hold very well without unduly hindering the handling of the poker.

[0037] Opposite areas of the side wall of the recess can be adjacent to the legs of a pair of pliers in order to hold the pliers stable.

[0038] The base can be made primarily of wood or plastic, a material that is less likely to damage furniture, floors, and the like than metal. Other materials such as stone or concrete are also possible.

[0039] A metal plate may be present, for example, embedded in the underside of the stand. This can increase the weight of the stand. This can create a lower center of gravity. Both contribute to the stable installation of the stand, even if the stand is otherwise made of a lighter material than metal. If the metal plate is embedded, then the metal plate is located within a recess on the underside of the stand. The edge of the recess should preferably protrude from the metal plate to prevent scratching sensitive surfaces.

[0040] The aforementioned mandrel can be screwed to the metal plate of the base. This ensures that the mandrel can be held reliably and permanently in its desired position.

[0041] The base can, for example, hold one or more pieces of cutlery upright. The cutlery is then not suspended. Cutlery held by the base is then particularly easy to reach. Preferably, the base can only hold cutlery upright. Therefore, there is no fixture on which one or more pieces of cutlery can be hung. This advantageously saves on material and manufacturing costs for such a fixture. It also provides handling advantages. Cutlery items that can be held upright by the base include, for example, pokers, tongs, brooms, and / or shovels.

[0042] The invention also relates to a poker for use in a set according to the invention. The poker can consist of a long leg and a short leg. In this case, there are no components that the poker would comprise. The poker can thus be manufactured in a technically simple manner with minimal material expenditure. However, the poker can also comprise a handle as its only further component, which can be made of a heat-insulating material such as wood or plastic. The long leg can form a right angle with the short leg. The long leg can be a tube for blowing air into a fire via the long leg. The short leg can be strip-shaped and have a flat top and a flat bottom. The poker can then be placed on the bottom. The poker can be made entirely of metal. The short leg can be welded to the long leg.

[0043] A handle made of a heat-insulating material is not absolutely necessary. For example, it may be sufficient to construct the metal tube with sufficiently thin walls so that heat transfer through the rod is minimal. This prevents the free end of the long leg from becoming so hot that it can no longer be grasped.

[0044] The invention also relates to barbecue tongs for use in a set according to the invention. The barbecue tongs can be made from a single piece of strip-shaped material. The strip-shaped material can be bent in a central region such that the barbecue tongs consist of two legs that are resiliently and pivotably connected to one another by the bend. The bend can have one or more openings to facilitate the flexibility of the bend and thus the pivoting of the legs. The opening can also serve as an eyelet for hanging the tongs on a hook. The free ends of the barbecue tongs, i.e., those opposite the bend, can each have one or more openings. Teeth can protrude inward from the edges of the one or more openings. The barbecue tongs can be made entirely of metal.

[0045] The invention also relates to a base for use in a set according to the invention. The base can have a recess on its upper side into which one or more pieces of cutlery can be placed. Viewed in plan view, the recess can be substantially circular. Viewed in plan view, an edge section of the recess can be semicircular, through which a tube of a poker can be held. The base can have a bolt projecting inward from a side wall for holding a spike. A metal plate can be provided on or near the underside of the base. The metal plate can be connected to a metal spike. The spike can project upwards such that the spike can be inserted into a tube of a piece of cutlery to hold the piece of cutlery.The spike can be located within the recess of the base and protrude upward from the base of the recess. The base can be made primarily of wood and / or plastic. Materials such as stone or concrete are also possible. Viewed from above, the base can be circular.

[0046] The base's footprint can have a diameter of less than 30 cm or less than 20 cm. A diameter of less than 10 cm is possible. If the footprint is not circular, the length and width of the footprint can be less than 30 cm or less than 20 cm. The diameter, length, and width can be at least 5 cm. The base can be at least 5 cm or at least 10 cm high. The base can be a maximum of 30 cm or a maximum of 20 cm high.

[0047] The height of the set can be a maximum of 100 cm or a maximum of 80 cm when the cutlery pieces are held upright. The minimum height of the set can be 30 cm, 40 cm or 50 cm when the cutlery pieces are held upright. The tongs and / or the poker can be at least 40 cm, 50 cm or 60 cm long. For practical reasons, the tongs are advantageously shorter than the poker. The maximum length of the tongs and / or the poker can be 80 cm or 70 cm. The maximum total weight of the set can be 4 kg or 2 kg. The minimum total weight of a set can be 0.3 kg or 0.5 kg.

[0048] The invention and further embodiments are explained in more detail below with reference to figures.

[0062] Fig. 13: Base with two bolts,

[0063] Fig. 14: Holding a broom.

[0064] Figure 1 shows a sectional view of a poker 1. The poker 1 comprises a long leg 2 and a short leg 3. The long leg 2 forms a right angle with the short leg 3. The long leg 2 can be welded to the short leg 3. The long leg is a tube 2 that is open at its ends. Air can therefore be blown through the tube 2. The tube 2 can be made of steel. The short leg 3 has a flat bottom and a flat top. The short leg 3 can be as wide as the outer diameter of the tube 2. The short leg 3 can be made of steel.

[0065] The poker 1 comprises a handle at the free end of the tube 2, which handle can be formed from a cylindrical casing 4, made of wood or plastic, for example, and a cylindrical sleeve 5, made of metal, for example. The sleeve 5 is mounted inside the casing 4. The outer surface of the sleeve can be glued to the inner wall of the casing 4 and / or held in place by a press fit. The sleeve 5 can have an internal thread, which can be screwed onto an external thread of the tube 2. The handle 4, 5 can therefore be screwed onto and unscrewed from the tube 2. The sleeve 5 can also be welded to the tube. The sleeve 5 can have a knurled surface. The handle 4 can thus be pressed onto the sleeve 5 and glued at the same time.

[0066] Figure 2 shows the poker 1 in a side view. Figure 3 shows the poker 1 from below. Figure 3 shows that the main surface of the short leg 3 has two long sides and two comparatively short sides. The long sides can run parallel to each other, as shown in Figure 3. The front side at the free end of the short leg can form a right angle with the long sides, as shown in Figure 3. However, the front side can also extend outwards in a semicircular shape, for example.

[0067] Figure 4 shows a perspective view of barbecue tongs 6. The barbecue tongs 6 have two legs 7 which are spring-connected to one another via a bend 8. At the free ends of each leg 7 there is an elongated hole 9. The bend 8 also has an elongated hole 10. The elongated holes 9, 10 extend parallel to the longitudinal extent of the legs 7 or to the course of the bend 8 from one leg 7 to the other leg 7. Teeth 11, arranged in a row, protrude inwards from the long sides of the elongated holes 9. Collars 12, which also protrude inwards from the elongated holes 9, are adjacent to the teeth 11. The height of the collars 12 corresponds to the height of the teeth 11. The collars 12 can be curved, as shown in Figure 4, if the end faces of the elongated holes 9 are curved. The front side 13 of one free end of one leg 7 is semicircular.The other end face 14 of the other leg 7 is straight to allow the grill tongs 6 to be placed particularly securely in a stand. The grill tongs 6 are manufactured in one piece from a strip of steel. However, a straight line is not required for stable support. It is sufficient if the profile of the tongs conforms to the cutout 17 due to the spring force. Both end faces 13 and 14 can also be straight and form a right angle with the long sides of the legs 7 to improve stability. Both end faces 13 and 14 can also be curved, for example, semicircular. Both legs can be symmetrical.

[0068] The legs 7 can be slightly curved in cross-section (i.e., perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the legs 7) to improve stability. Thus, the legs are not formed by a flat band, but by an arched profile. This improves, in particular, the flexural rigidity.

[0069] Figure 5 shows a first side view of the grill tongs 6 and Figure 6 shows a second side view of the grill tongs 6. The second side view is rotated by 90° compared to the first side view.

[0070] Figure 7 shows a perspective view of a set with a base 15, grill tongs 6, and poker 1. The base 15 is in the shape of a container with a cylindrical outer wall 16. The part of the base 15 visible in Figure 7 can be made of wood or plastic. However, other materials such as glass or metal are also possible. Figure 7 shows that the poker 1 can have a funnel shape 17 at the free end of the long leg, for example to easily attach a nozzle of a pump suitable for pumping air. The base 15 can therefore hold two pieces of cutlery 1 and 6 upright. No piece of cutlery 1, 6 is held hanging. This makes it particularly easy to grasp the pieces of cutlery 1, 6 held by the base 15 and pull them out of the base 15.

[0071] Figure 8 shows a plan view of the top side of the base 15. The base has a recess 17 on its top side, into which the cutlery items 1, 6 can be placed. A bolt 18 projects inward into the recess and consequently into the interior of the recess 17. Viewed in plan view, the recess 17 is essentially circular. Viewed in plan view, there is an edge section 19 of the recess 17 that is arcuate and projects outward from the otherwise circular shape of the recess 17. A pin 20 projects upwards from the base of the base 15. The pin is located within the edge section 19.

[0072] The spike 20 can be made of metal for stability reasons. However, other materials such as wood or plastic are also possible. However, with sufficiently precise manufacturing, the curved edge section 19 may be sufficient to keep the poker upright due to its enclosure alone. Conversely, a spike 20 without this edge section 19 may also be sufficient.

[0073] Otherwise, the parts of the base 15 visible in Figure 8 can be made of wood, including the bolt 18. However, other materials such as metal or plastic are also possible.

[0074] The bolt 18 extends into an elongated hole 10 of the grill tongs 6 when the grill tongs 6 are held upright by the base 15. The opposite leg 7 of the grill tongs 6 can then, for example, in a slightly pre-tensioned state, preferably with parallel legs, rest against the inner wall area of ​​the recess 17 opposite the bolt 18. The grill tongs can thus be held stably. The hold can be further stabilized by having a straight end face 14 of the grill tongs 6 rest on the base of the base. However, this is not required. Both end faces can therefore be curved.

[0075] For release, the leg 7 of the pliers 6, into whose elongated hole 10 the bolt 18 extends, can be pivoted inwards against the force of the bow 8 acting as a spring.

[0076] The spike 20 extends into the tube 2 of the poker 1 when the poker 1 is held upright by the base 15. The tube 2 can then rest against the edge section 19. Holding the poker 1 can thus be stabilized. The short leg 3 of the poker 1 then extends inward into the interior of the recess 17. The short leg 3 of the poker 1 can reach between the two legs 7 of the grill tongs 6 when the grill tongs 6 are also held upright by the base 15. Overall, the footprint required for the set is thus minimized.

[0077] Figure 9 shows the base 15 from the underside. A circular metal plate 21 may be embedded in the underside of the base 15. The metal plate 21 may be secured to the underside with two screws 22. One screw 22 may be screwed into the underside of the mandrel 20. The metal plate 21 may thus be connected to the mandrel 20. The screws 22 may be made of metal for stability reasons.

[0078] Figure 10 shows a first sectional view through the base 15. Figure 11 shows a second sectional view through the base 15. The second sectional view is rotated 90° compared to the first sectional view. Figure 11 illustrates that the plate 21 is connected to the mandrel 20 via a screw 22. The other screw 22 can, for example, be screwed into the wood or plastic material of the base 15. The plate 21 is recessed inward so that sensitive surfaces cannot be scratched.

[0079] A separate base 23 can be provided for the poker 1, as shown in a sectional view in Figure 11. The base 23 is formed by a plate 24 from which a spike 25 protrudes vertically upwards. The spike 25 projects into the tube 2 of the poker 1 when the separate base 23 holds the poker upright. The spike 25 can be attached to the plate 24 with a screw 22. The plate 24 is preferably made of metal for stability reasons. The screw 22 and the spike 25 are preferably made of metal for stability reasons.

[0080] The plate 24 can be circular so that the short leg 3 of the poker 1 is always positioned in the same optical and thus also technically consistent manner relative to the base of the base 23. The radius of the plate can correspond to the length of the short leg 3 of the poker 1 in order to optimize material consumption and the footprint. The poker 1 can be held by the mandrel 25, for example, in a clamping manner so that the poker 1 can be grasped and lifted together with the base 23.

[0081] The base 15, shown in plan view in Figure 13, has two bolts 18 on opposite sides. A bolt 18 extends into each elongated hole 4 of the grill tongs 6 when the grill tongs 6 are detachably connected to the base 15.

[0082] Figure 14 shows the case where the spike 25 is widened in a stepped manner at the base. The bristles 27 of a broom with a tube 2 then advantageously do not touch the base during a hold.
