Abstract
A hand held utensil has a blade with an arcuate working edge and radially spaced concave and convex surfaces. The utensil has a grip which is axially spaced from the arcuate edge and has a convex surface which is grasped by the hand of a user for manipulating the blade. The convex surface of the blade and the convex surface of the grip have congruent spherical curvature with spaced apart centers of curvature. The grip comprises a volume of wood, plastic, metal, or other suitable material which conforms to the space bounded by a pair of intersected eccentric spheres which each have a radius equal to the radii of curvature of the blade and the grip.
Claims19
A hand held utensil comprising:
- a blade having a planar arcuate edge and a longitudinal axis lying in the plane defined by said edge;
- and
- a grip spaced axially from the arcuate edge and having a convex surface which is grasped by the hand of a user for manipulating the blade,
- the blade having a convex surface which is bounded by the arcuate edge and the grip,
- the convex surfaces of the blade and grip being spaced apart along said longitudinal axis and having congruent curvature.
A hand held utensil comprising:
- a blade having a planar arcuate edge and a longitudinal axis lying in the plane defined by said edge;
- a grip spaced axially from the arcuate edge and having a convex surface which is grasped by the hand of a user for manipulating the blade, the blade having a convex surface which is bounded by the arcuate edge and the grip,
- the convex surface of the blade and the convex surface of the grip having equal radii of spherical curvature.
A hand held utensil comprising:
- a blade having a planar arcuate edge and a longitudinal axis lying in the plane defined by said edge;
- a grip separate from the blade and spaced axially from the arcuate edge and having a convex surface which is grasped by the hand of a user for manipulating the blade and a recess for seating the blade;
- and
- means for attaching the grip to the blade.
