Abstract

The foil cutter, in particular for wine bottles, has two halves, which are connected together with a connecting part. The connecting part ensures a resilient arrangement of the two halves. Provided between lateral parts and cover parts are resting surfaces for the neck of the wine bottle. These have, on the one hand, a support function, and, on the other hand, enable as little friction as possible during turning. The cutting edges of the little cutting wheels held on mountings are disposed in such a way that they are turned toward the mountings.
This facilitates easier placement on the bottle.

Description

Foil Cutter This invention relates to a foil cutter, in particular for wine bottles, with two halves disposed in a resilient way with respect to one another and connected s together via a connecting part, and with cutting elements, designed as little cutting wheels disposed in the halves, for cutting the foil.
Foil cutters of this type are known, for example, from the documents U.S.
Patent No. 4,845,844, U.K. Patent Application GB 2 322 622, and the European Patent Publication No. EP 0 220 850. A common feature of these foil cutters is io that they have at least three little cutting wheels. Although the foil cutters according to U.S. Patent No. 4,845,844 and GB 2 322 622 have frustoconical cutting wheels, the cutting edges located along the largest diameter of the wheel are turned toward the bottle in these devices.
It is an object of this invention to create a foil cutter which is of simple is construction and can be manufactured inexpensively. The neck of the bottle should be well supported in the foil cutter, there being as little friction as possible during turning. Moreover, the placement on the bottle should be made easier.
To achieve this object, according to the invention:
- inner rests for radial support of the neck of the bottle are provided on 2o said two halves, - provided on at least one of said halves is a cover part with axial support for the neck of the bottle, - the little cutting wheels are held on mountings, a single little cutting wheel being disposed in each half, and 2s - the little cutting wheels are of substantially frustoconical design, in each case the cutting edge at the largest diameter of the wheel being disposed on the side of the cover part to facilitate easier placement on the bottle.
One advantage of the invention is the direct radial support of the bottle via 3o two inner-situated rests, which exercise a supporting function but at the same time, however, are designed such that as little friction as possible arises during turning of the foil cutter or, respectively, the wine bottle. Compared to the state of the art, the cutting edges on the little cutting wheels have been turned by 180° so that placement on the bottle is made easier.
One embodiment and its use will be described more closely in the following, with reference to the drawing:
s Figure 1 shows the foil cutter, in particular for wine bottles, from above in perspective;
Figure 2 shows the foil cutter from below in perspective;
Figure 3 shows a view from above of the foil cutter from above;
Figure 4 shows a side view of the foil cutter;
io Figure 5 shows a front view of the foil cutter;
Figure 6 shows a rear view of the foil cutter;
Figure 7 is a view of the foil cutter from below;
Figure 8 is a section along the line VIII - VIII of Figure 7.
Figure 1 shows the foil cutter 1 for wine bottles in a perspective view from is above. The foil cutter has finro curved sides 2, 3 and, connected to these, cover parts 4, 5, the cover part 4 being connected to the side part 2 and the cover part 5 being connected to the side part 3. The terminating edges 6 and 7 of the cover parts 4 and 5 run bent, arc-shaped, in the front part. In the rear connecting part 8, the terminating edges 9 and 10 run parallel in the tensioned state of the foil cutter.
2o Upon pressing together of the two side parts 2 and 3, the connecting part 8 exerts a spring effect. Two little cutting wheels 12 with round cutting edges 13 are disposed below on the cover parts 4 and 5, in their front region, on bolt-shaped mountings 11. Only one little wheel is visible in Figure 1. The side parts 2 and 3 are limited by edges 14 and 15 on their front ends.
2s The underside of the foil cutter 1 can be seen in Figure 2 in a perspective view from above. Also visible in Figure 2 is the second little cutting wheel 16 with the bolt-shaped mounting 17 and the round cutting edge 18. A group of three crosspieces, connected to the side part and/or to the cover part on the half side 22 of the foil cutter, and a group of three further crosspieces 24, 25, 26, disposed 3o symmetrically with respect to the first-mentioned crosspieces and connected to the side part 3 and/or cover part 5 on the other half side 23 of the foil cutter, each form a profile section with an inner-situated plastic support 20 or 25 and make up direct rests for the neck of the bottle, exercising, on the one hand, a supporting function, but at the same time being so designed that as little friction as possible arises during turning of the foil cutter. The two halves 22 and 23 of the foil cutter are disposed symmetrically to a plane running parallel to the longitudinal surtaces s 27 and 28 of the connecting part 8. The cutting edges 13 and 18 on the little cutting wheels 12 and 16 have been turned by 180° compared to the state of the art so that placement on the bottle is made easier. The cutting edges 13, 18 are disposed adjacent to the mountings 11, 17. To cut off the foil of a wine bottle, the foil cutter is placed on the upper rim of the bottle, the rests 20 and 25 lying io against the foil to be cut. The foil cutter is then pressed together on the side parts 2 and 3 so that the cutting edges 13 and 18 of the two little cutting wheels disposed in each of the halves 22, 23 engage the foil, the foil cutter being turned until the upper cap of the two foil enclosures can be removed. The side parts and 3 are provided with indentations 29 and 30 in the region of the little cutting is wheels.
Figure 3 is a view of the foil cutter from above. In particular, the symmetrical arrangement of the halves 22 and 23 can be seen. The two halves 22 and 23 are disposed in a resilient way with respect to the connecting part 8 of the foil cutter.
2o Figure 4 shows a side view of the foil cutter.
Figure 5 shows a front view of the foil cutter.
Figure 6 shows a rear view of the foil cutter, the rear limit 31 of the connecting part 8 being visible.
Figure 7 shows a view of the foil cutter from below.
Zs Figure 8 shows a section along the line VIII - VIII of Figure 7. The axes and 33 of the little cutting wheels 12 and 16 are also visible in Figure 8.
The foil cutter is preferably made of plastic and the little cutting wheels of metal.
