Tool to open a bottle
with capsule lock.

The invention relates to a tool for opening a bottle with a capsule closure, consisting of a metallic lever with an attachment for attachment to the crown edge of a capsule and with a stop for Attachment to the lid part of the capsule, and consisting of a handle on the lever.

There are known bottle openers, which usually have two projections for reaching under the crown part have and are formed with a stop which is placed on the cover part of the KronenverschiUäses so that overall, the capsule can be lifted from the bottle under leverage.

Käpseiveröhiuss often has a stani oil coating Provided, or the capsule and neck are provided with a * thin metallic foil wrapped around * The metallic foil can usually be easily destroyed when lifting the capsule * however, it is never excluded that a part of the film gets into the interior of the bottle.

The aim of the invention is to design a bottle opener in this way that it can serve as a tool to lift off a capsule and beforehand to remove the metal foil surrounding the capsule.

This is achieved according to the invention in that a bottle opener consists of a flat piece of metal and on one end is formed with a point or a knife part, while the opposite end with a more or less usual bottle opener is provided, but only an approach to reach behind the crown part the capsule is provided. Overall, a relatively flat tool can be formed as a result, the Handle part is releasably connected to the actual tool, in such a way that the handle once as a handle serves for the knife and also serves as a handle for the bottle opener. Is the knife part in the Capsule, so there is good protection against the risk of injury, if the cap lifter part is in the sleeve-e, it says a relatively useful knife available, with which other work than that can be carried out Cutting through the metal foil of a bottle cap.

Further embodiments of the invention are based the appended claims.

The single figure of the drawing shows a tool according to the invention, the lever being shown outside the sleeve is.

A lever 1 consists essentially of a flat piece of metal, as is the case, for example, with a knife blade is known. At one end of the lever 1 is located

at 7 a knife edge, de? The actual knife shaft is housed in a plastic part h where, however, the artificial part H does not surround the entire shaft of the mesoei * 8 in the area at 2 and 3 the plastic part 4 is so cut out that it gets with the projection 2 under the crown edge of a capsule can and can place the stop 3 on the lid of the capsule lock

The plastic part 4 is injection-molded around the metal part 1, the external dimensions of the plastic part h having been dimensioned such that they can be inserted into the inner space 9 of a sleeve 8. In particular, the surfaces 5 are designed so that a clamping effect between the sleeve 8 and the part 5 can be generated. So that neither the knife nor the bottle opener can be inserted into the sleeve, a collar 6 is provided in the area 5 of the plastic part 4, which serves as a two-sided stop. The outer dimensions of the collar 6 are essentially designed to match the outer dimensions of the sleeve 8, ie the collar 6 has essentially a rectangular cross section with rounded portions.

If the tool according to the invention is to serve as a bottle opener, the lever part on the left is inserted into the sleeve 8 up to the stop; if, on the other hand, the tool according to the invention is to be used as a knife, the part of the plastic injection molded part H shown on the right is inserted up to the stop 6 inserted into the sleeve 8. In both cases, the sleeve serves as a handle part; when the knife is stored in the sleeve, the sleeve also serves as protection against injuries.
