Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bell corkscrew according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • corkscrews that have a bell-shaped kettle that is placed on the bottle to be opened and into which the cork is pulled as soon as the scraper is screwed in with the handle.
  • the bell bowl can have a cylindrical or conical basic shape and can even be formed by a spiral spring.
  • a plastic or rubber pressure ring can be attached in the foot of the boiler, which serves for gentle support on the bottle head and z. B. for renewal, cleaning and. Like. Should be quickly replaceable if necessary.
  • Means for initially centering and subsequently aligning the scraper that is to say the helix or cutting spindle, are generally not provided. When driving into the cork and / or when pulling it out of the bottle, the scraper is therefore not easily moved parallel to its axis. However, this is an important prerequisite for being able to pull the cork with little effort and as non-destructively as possible.
  • DE-C-55 574 discloses a corkscrew of the type mentioned at the outset, which has a bell with a centering projection and diametrically opposed ribs which have rounded inlet edges. Above the bell there is a sleeve in which a compression spring guiding the spindle of the scraper is arranged. After screwing the scraper into the cork, the force of this spring should pull it out of the bottle neck; For this purpose, a special force measuring device is provided. By turning the scraper in the opposite direction, you can unscrew it a bit from the cork.
  • a bell corkscrew is known from FR-A-2359785, the spindle of which is guided in a square socket. This has cutouts that mesh with two gear levers linked to the bell. At the lower end a centering lug is provided, into which a plastic pressure ring is fitted.
  • the corkscrew has no cork ejection device and does not allow the tip of the scraper to be moved up to the top edge of the pressure ring.
  • the bell-shaped vessel holds a pressure ring with an elastic, resilient guide ring sunk in a centering projection.
  • This forms a guide element which is as simple as it is effective and which engages over the bottle head, on the end face of which the pressure ring comes to rest during use.
  • the scraper therefore attacks the center of the cork and screws into it in the direction of the axis of rotation.
  • the pulling movement is practically tilt-free, i. H. with minimal effort and without destroying or damaging the cork.
  • the cork ejection device then allows it to be wiped off the scraper without the need for hand contact. For this it is important to specify the dimensioning that the tip of the scraper ends in its fully raised position approximately at the level of the top edge of the pressure ring or above.
  • Embodiments of the invention are the subject of claims 2 to 9.
  • the measures of claims 2 to 4 are concerned with special embodiments of a cork ejection device which is as simple to manufacture as it is to be handled, the installation on the bottle mouth taking place in a self-guiding manner with good positive locking and the contact surface the pressure ring is designed so that it not only withstands external influences, but is also easy to clean.
  • the introduction of the pressure ring in the centering approach of the bell-type bowl and the stable mounting therein is made considerably easier by the features of claims 5 to 8.
  • the design according to claim 9 serves to improve handling in a special embodiment.
  • the corkscrew 10 illustrated in FIG. 1 has a bell 12 with a neck 14 in which a spindle 16 is guided parallel to the axis.
  • a toggle 18 with a tilt nut 20 and a handle 22 is used for handling.
  • the spindle 16 has a flange 24, which serves as a stop for the movement of the spindle upwards.
  • the spindle 16 continues as a scraper 26, i. H. as a cutting spindle or helix, which is intended to be driven into a cork to be pulled.
  • the scraper 26 is located between two side webs 28 of the bell 12, the lower end 30 of which forms a boiler 34.
  • a centering projection 36 is provided, the upper part of which receives a pressure ring 32 in a form-fitting manner in latching recesses 38.
  • the locking recesses 38 can have a radial profile in the form of threads, grooves, beads, projections, grooves and. Like. Have.
  • grooves 40a of a radial profile 40 in the centering projection 36 or in the bowl 34 cooperate with a bead 42a of a counter profile 42 on the pressure ring 32.
  • teeth 40b of the radial profile are provided for engagement in grooves 42b of the counter profile 42.
  • toothings other than those shown, for example serrated or rounded undercuts, bevels, latching lugs and cutouts or the like.
  • a shoulder 48 of the pressure ring 32 can be attached to a collar 50 in the centering projection 36 or in the boiler 34 come to rest and if necessary also be firmly attached to it.
  • the bearing surface 44 of the pressure ring 32 is preferably just like this itself made of a chemically resistant, resilient material such as soft PVC, polyethylene, rubber or the like, so that there is extensive resistance to the effects of a wide variety of liquids.
  • the shape design by means of oblique, arched or undercut ring surfaces or ring surface parts ensures that the pressure ring 32 is tightly connected to the bottle mouth when the corkscrew 10 is used.
  • the introduction of the pressure ring 32 into the upper part of the centering projection 36 can be facilitated by a channel 46 (FIG. 5) which is arranged on the outer circumference of the pressure ring 32 and prevents air cushion formation.
  • a channel 46 can deviate from the illustrated embodiment and instead of obliquely also parallel to the axis or wound.
  • the invention contemplates arranging at least one corresponding channel on the inner circumference of the upper part of centering projection 36 or boiler 34 for air removal between collar 50 and uppermost catch recess 38.
  • corkscrew 10 undergoes a considerable improvement in the usability and thus its usefulness thanks to the good shape adaptation of the pressure ring 32 both towards the bottle mouth (i.e. downwards) and towards the inner wall of the centering projection 36 or kettle 34.
  • Fig. 1 shows a working position of the bell corkscrew 10, in which the spindle 16 is already fully turned up by means of the knob 18 or the handle 22, so that the flange 24 comes to a stop in the bell 12.
  • the scraper 26 is pulled up so far that its tip 56 ends approximately at the level of the upper edge 54 of the pressure ring 32.
  • a pulled cork (not shown) would now be held against rotation by the ribs 52, which have more or less gently pressed into the lateral surface of the cork which has been moved up.
  • the spindle 16 is moved down again and the cork is automatically pushed off.
  • FIG. 3 Yet another embodiment of a cork ejection device on a corkscrew 10 according to the invention is shown schematically in FIG. 3.
  • the neck 14 is designed as a wide holder for two articulated levers 68, which are integral with gear sectors 70. The latter mesh with a tooth profile 66 on the spindle 16 so that it can be pulled up by pivoting the lever 68 down.
  • the handle 22 is used to screw in the scraper 56, which is integral or rigidly connected to the spindle 16, which in this case can have a bottle opener 72 integral therewith.
  • a guide ring 58 which is made of resilient material and is provided with additional recesses 60 (FIG. 2) to facilitate the shape adaptation to different bottle heads, which are grooves, grooves, axially parallel Bores or the like can be formed. This makes handling extremely easy.
