Description

The invention relates to a handy, ergonomic and compact bottle opener for convenient and safe opening and closing of screw caps of various designs. The bottle opener is particularly suitable for opening and closing the tight-fitting screw caps of beverage bottles such as water, juice, wine and sparkling wine bottles, which is suitable for professional users, as well as for industrial applications, e.g. in the catering industry, normal household use, but also suitable for users with less physical strength and with less or reduced motor sensibility. The bottle opener may remain on the bottle as a decoration or marking for an already opened bottle and may be attached to a magnetic surface such as a refrigerator door.

Different bottle openers for screw caps are commercially available and known. There are bottle openers for screw caps made of highly adhesive rubber caps or plastic caps with ribs, which are placed on screw caps, so that the screw caps are thereby clamped. By turning the bottle opener, the screw caps are opened by positive or non-positive connection between the screw caps and the bottle openers. In such bottle openers missing the force-enhancing clamping action. There are bottle openers for screw caps with pliers and handle-like constructions, with which the screw caps are clamped. By turning the bottle opener, the screw caps are opened by the leverage on the screw caps. With such bottle openers an asymmetrical introduction of force for opening the screw cap is generated, so that a corresponding counterforce on the bottle must be introduced. Due to the long and wide shape such bottle openers are unwieldy and impractical to stow. From the DE10 2014 210831B4 . DE 297 16 698 U1 . DE 4309508 A1 . DE 3830684 C1 . DE10 2008047061 A1 .
