Disclosed is a locking arrangement having a first wall defining a first surface and a second wall defining a second surface, with the first and second surfaces abutting each other; a mechanism for locking the first wall against the second wall; and a movable member. The first wall and the second wall are configured to define an enclosed channel for accommodating the movable member such that the movable member is slidable within the channel, and wherein the locking arrangement may assume one of two configurations, in that in one of the two configurations said walls are prevented from moving relative to each other by the movable member and in the other configuration said walls and hence the arms extended therefrom are movable relative to each other.

Locking arrangement and culinary utensil comprising same

The present invention is concerned with a locking arrangement having a first member and a second member, each having a front end and a rear end and with the first member and the second member connected together at a first pivot axis, a front portion, a rear portion and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a lever and a guide. The arrangement is configured to assume one of two configurations in that in a first configuration the lever is engaged in a first position due to orientation of the arrangement such that the first arm and the second arm are locked against each other, or in a second configuration in which the lever having been disengaged from the first position, or engaging or engaged in the second position, due to orientation of the apparatus such that the first arm and the second arm are movable relative to each other.

The present invention is concerned with a locking arrangement having a first wall defining a surface and a second wall defining a surface with the surfaces abutting each other. The first wall is provided with a first bulge defining a first elongate groove facing a first direction and the second wall is provided with a second bulge defining a second elongate groove facing a second direction opposite to the first direction, and the grooves are positioned to define a channel in which a ball bearing is movable there across. The first groove has a substantially same width there across and the second groove has a narrower end and a wider end, the locking arrangement is adapted to, depending on the orientation of the channel, assume a first configuration in which the ball bearing is positioned at one end of the channel or a second configuration in which the ball bearing is positioned at the opposite end of the channel. In one of the two configurations when the channel is oriented to allow the ball bearing to roll to the wider end of the groove, the ball bearing becomes out of a path of relative movement of the walls whereby the walls become movable relative each other and hence unlocking the locking arrangement for the walls.
