Champagne cork tongs

The present invention is based on the object of a To create champagne cork tongs, their handling also for with Tools unfamiliar to users is particularly easy.

This is achieved according to the invention in that the two pliers legs are articulated to one another at one end point of the pliers are connected, each pliers leg on its concave inner surface an area of increased adhesion on v / eist and the concave The forceps area offset laterally by two opposite the forceps ± erie3n Bridges are bridged, their complementary to each other V-shaped end faces engage in one another.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the area of increased adhesion is provided by a number of rows of pyramid-shaped fronts.

Cracks formed.

As a result of the training according to the invention, the handling particularly easy with the pliers, because the formation of the area increases adhesion even with low pliers pressure a secure grip is made possible and also the two laterally arranged webs when placing the pliers on the Champagne corks bring the tongs automatically to the correct height so that any considerations regarding the Correct tongs on the champagne cork or the risk of slipping are eliminated.

The invention will then be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. Show it:

Fig. 4 is a view of the end face of the pliers from above.

According to S ¹ Ig. 1, the two pliers legs 1 and 2 are articulated to one another at their end point by a pivot axis 3. Each tong limb is provided with a concave area 9, which is intended to grip the champagne cork and forms an area of increased adhesion, which is preferably formed by a number of rows of projections 10. The individual projections are expediently pyramid-shaped. The concave pliers area is bridged by two webs 6, 7 which are laterally offset from the pliers plane and which, when placed on the top of the champagne cork, the pliers themselves-

actively bring them into the correct working position Web 6 and 7 are V-shaped complementary to each other, i.e. one end face has a V-shaped projection 12 and the opposite end face has a V-shaped incision 11. The webs 6 and 7 form two pinch elements for clamping the tongues on tear-off bottles (piccolo) and cans.

Are on the forceps further, adjacent to the pivot axis 3, which forms a hinge point for the pliers limbs, two shearing elements ¹ I, located 5, each one of which is supported by a pliers limb and forms an extension of the relevant leg. The shear elements ¹ I and 5 are expediently employed as separate parts in each pliers limb and are particularly suitable for cutting wire, mainly bottles of sparkling wine.

The projections 10 in the concave part of the pliers leg are at Open the champagne bottle or a screw cap, press down firmly and ensure that the pliers can grip it securely.

To use the pliers as a bottle opener, the webs 6 and 7 are slightly beveled at one edge at 8. The pliers are easy to grip in the hand, which is facilitated by the fact that the handle parts of the pliers legs are opposite the middle part of the pliers leg has a larger dimension in a direction parallel to the pivot pin 3 of the pliers, as can be clearly seen from FIG is·

As a result of the arrangement of the pyramidal ₃ pointed projections, the pliers are equally suitable for gripping plastic and natural corks.
