Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Zangendosenöffner gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a plier can opener according to the preamble of claim 1.

Derartige Zangendosenöffner sind heute im Haushalt sehr weit verbreitet und zum Beispiel in der DE-U-76 13 201 beschrieben. Nachteilig an diesen Geräten ist, daß nach Ansetzen des Zangendosenöffners an der zu öffnenden Dose beim bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch ständig eine relativ große Kraft an den Griffen aufgewendet werden muß, um das Schneidrad, beziehungsweise das Schneidmesser im Eingriff zu halten.Such pliers can openers are very widespread in the household today and are described, for example, in DE-U-76 13 201. A disadvantage of these devices is that after the pliers can opener has been attached to the can to be opened when used as intended, a relatively large force must be constantly applied to the handles in order to keep the cutting wheel or the cutting knife in engagement.

Es ist auch nach der DE-C-253 607 eine Einrichtung zur selbsttätigen, kraftschlüssigen Kupplung der beiden Zangenelemente bekannt. Diese Einrichtung besteht aus einem an dem einen Zangenelement angeformten Horn mit einer einseitig vorgesehenen Sägezahnprofilierung und einem federbelasteten, einarmigen Haltehaken, der an dem anderen Zangenelement schwenkbar gelagert ist. Ein kraftaufwendiges Zuhalten der beiden Zangenelemente beim Öffnungsvorgang entfällt dadurch.It is also known from DE-C-253 607 a device for the automatic, non-positive coupling of the two pliers elements. This device consists of a horn formed on one pliers element with a sawtooth profile provided on one side and a spring-loaded, one-armed retaining hook which is pivotably mounted on the other pliers element. This eliminates the need for a forceful locking of the two pliers elements during the opening process.

Nachteilig an dieser Ausführung ist aber, daß die einzelnen Bauteile offen da liegen und beim bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch eine permanente Gefahr des Einklemmens von Hautpartien darstellen. Die Handhabung ist zudem sehr ungeschickt. Gerade dann, wenn die Dose geöffnet ist, das heißt der Deckel aufgeschnitten wurde, muß mit der zweiten Hand der einarmige Hebel zurückgedrückt werden, um ein Lösen der beiden Zangenelement zu ermöglichen ; in diesem kritischen Augenblick kann aber dann nicht die Dose gehalten werden. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, den aus der DE-C-253 607 bekannten Zangendosenöffner so zu verbessern, daß ein öffnen der Dose ohne Gefahr des Einklemmens von Hautpartien und ein Lösen der Zangenelemente mit nur einer Hand ermöglicht wird.A disadvantage of this design, however, is that the individual components are exposed and represent a permanent risk of pinching skin areas when used as intended. The handling is also very awkward. Just when the can is open, that is to say the lid has been cut open, the one-armed lever must be pushed back with the second hand to enable the two pliers elements to be released; at this critical moment the can cannot be held. The object of the invention is to improve the plier can opener known from DE-C-253 607 in such a way that the can is opened without the risk of pinching skin areas and the pliers elements can be released with only one hand.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Durch das schwenkbare Halteelement am übergang zwischen dem Griff- und Arbeitsbereich wird eine besonders hohe Bedienungsfreundlichkeit erreicht. Die versenkte Anordnung des Halteelementes macht ein Klemmen von Hautpartien unmöglich. Beim Zusammendrücken der Zangenelemente rastet das Halteelement durch die entsprechende Ausbildung automatisch ein. Nach Beendigung des Arbeitsganges kann es durch die griffgünstige Anordnung leicht mit einer Daumenbewegung geöffnet werden. Zudem sieht das Gerät durch die weitgehend versenkte Anordnung des Halteelementes sauber aus und bietet eine nur geringe Angriffsfläche für Verschmutzungen.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1. The swiveling holding element at the transition between the handle and work area makes it particularly easy to use. The recessed arrangement of the holding element makes it impossible to pinch areas of skin. When the pliers elements are pressed together, the holding element engages automatically due to the appropriate design. After completing the process, it can be opened easily with a thumb movement due to the convenient arrangement. In addition, the device looks clean due to the largely recessed arrangement of the holding element and offers only a small contact surface for dirt.

Durch die in den weiteren Unteransprüchen beanspruchten konstruktiven Einzelheiten wird eine kostengünstige Fertigung verbunden mit einer einfachen Montage erreicht. Dabei wirkt sich besonders vorteilhaft aus, daß die entsprechenden Aufnahmebereiche zur Montage zunächst offenliegen und abschließend durch Aufschieben der beiden Griffe einfach verschlossen werden. Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen :

  • Figur 1 eine Ansicht eines Zangendosenöffners teilweise aufgeschnitten,
  • Figur 2 eine Ansicht gemäß der Richtung II nach Figur 1,
  • Figur 3 eine Ansicht gemäß der Richtung 111 nach Figur 2,

Due to the design details claimed in the further subclaims, cost-effective production combined with simple assembly is achieved. It is particularly advantageous that the corresponding receiving areas are initially exposed for assembly and then simply closed by pushing on the two handles. An embodiment of the invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings. Show it :

In den Figuren 1 bis 3 ist der Zangendosenöffner in drei Ansichten fertig montiert dargestellt. Ein oberes Zangenelement 1 und ein unteres Zangenelement 2 sind über ein Gelenk 3 miteinander beweglich verbunden. Die Zangenelemente 1, 2 bestehen jeweils aus einem Arbeitsbereich 4 und einem Griffbereich 5. Im Arbeitsbereich 4 sind die Schneid- und Antriebselemente 6 montiert. Die Griffbereiche 5 nehmen die Handgriffe 7 und 8 auf. Gemeinsam ist beiden Zangenelementen 1, 2 daß sie zwischen Arbeitsbereich 4 und Griffbereich 5 mit einem stufenförmigen Absatz 9 versehen sind, dessen Höhe 10 der Wanddicke 11 der Handgriffe 7, 8 entspricht. Weiter ist beiden Zangenelementen 1, 2 gemeinsam, daß sie im Griffbereich etwa einen U-förmigen Querschnitt gemäß Figur 10 haben.In Figures 1 to 3, the pliers can opener is shown fully assembled in three views. An upper tong element 1 and a lower tong element 2 are movably connected to one another via a joint 3. The pliers elements 1, 2 each consist of a work area 4 and a handle area 5. The cutting and drive elements 6 are mounted in the work area 4. The grip areas 5 accommodate the handles 7 and 8. Both pliers elements 1, 2 have in common that they are provided with a stepped shoulder 9 between the working area 4 and the handle area 5, the height 10 of which corresponds to the wall thickness 11 of the handles 7, 8. Furthermore, both pliers elements 1, 2 have in common that they have approximately a U-shaped cross section according to FIG. 10 in the grip area.

Das obere Zangenelement 1 ist im Anschluß an den Arbeitsbereich 4 zur Aufnahme eines Schwenkgriff-Halteelementes 12 etwa auf die Hälfte der Stärke des Griffbereiches ausgespart. Das Schwenkgriff-Halteelement 12 ist auf einem Achsstummel 13 drehbar gelagert und wird über eine Druckfeder 14 gegen den Arbeitsbereich 4 gedrückt. Die Druckfeder 14 wird im Zangenelement 1 in einer Federrinne 15, die sich in einer Bohrung 16 im Schwenkgriff-Halteelement 12 fortsetzt, gehalten. Das Schwenkgriff-Halteelement 12 ist im Griffbereich mit einer Riffelung 17 versehen und wird durch einen Stoppen 18 axial gesichert.The upper pliers element 1 is recessed in connection to the work area 4 for receiving a swivel handle holding element 12 to about half the thickness of the handle area. The swivel handle holding element 12 is rotatably mounted on an axle stub 13 and is pressed against the working area 4 by a compression spring 14. The compression spring 14 is held in the pliers element 1 in a spring groove 15 which continues in a bore 16 in the swivel handle holding element 12. The swivel handle holding element ment 12 is provided with a corrugation 17 in the grip area and is axially secured by a stop 18.

Das Schwenkgriff-Halteelement 12 greift über seinen Haltehaken 19 in eine Aufnahme 20 des unteren Zangenelementes 2 ein. Die Aufnahme 20 halbiert ebenfalls die Querschnittsstärke des unteren Zangenelementes 2 auf etwa die Hälfte. Allerdings bleibt beim unteren Zangenelement der untere Steg 21 in voller Höhe erhalten. Die Aufnahme 20 wird durch einen schräg verlaufenden Haltesteg 22 begrenzt. Dieser Haltesteg 22 bildet mit seiner einen Fläche die Anlaufschräge 23 für den Haltehaken 19 und hat die gleiche Höhe wie der obere Steg 24.The swivel handle holding element 12 engages via its holding hook 19 in a receptacle 20 of the lower pliers element 2. The receptacle 20 also halves the cross-sectional thickness of the lower pliers element 2 to approximately half. However, with the lower pliers element, the lower web 21 is retained in full. The receptacle 20 is delimited by an inclined holding web 22. With its one surface, this holding web 22 forms the run-on slope 23 for the holding hook 19 and has the same height as the upper web 24.

Im montierten Zustand werden die Federrinne 15 und die Aufnahme 20 durch die Handgriffe 7 und 8, die auf die Griffbereiche 5 aufgeschoben sind, abgedeckt. Der Handgriff 8 ist auf der Seite des Schwenkgriff-Halteelementes 12 auf der Seite 25 und im Durchgangsbereich des Haltehakens 19 ausgespart. Der Handgriff 7 ist nur im Durchgangsbereich des Haltehakens ausgespart. Dabei liegt die Aussparung 26 nur im Bereich des Durchgangs des Haltehakens 19 und endet am Beginn der Anlaufschräge 23. Die Aussparung 26 hat etwa die Breite 27 der Aufnahme 20.In the assembled state, the spring channel 15 and the receptacle 20 are covered by the handles 7 and 8, which are pushed onto the handle areas 5. The handle 8 is recessed on the side of the swivel handle holding element 12 on the side 25 and in the passage area of the holding hook 19. The handle 7 is recessed only in the passage area of the holding hook. The recess 26 lies only in the region of the passage of the holding hook 19 and ends at the start of the run-on slope 23. The recess 26 has approximately the width 27 of the receptacle 20.

Der Haltehaken 19 ist daher gegenüber dem Schwenkgriffbereich 28 verjüngt. Der Schwenkgriffbereich 28 ist im montierten Zustand etwa bündig mit der Seitenwand 29 des Handgriffes 8.The holding hook 19 is therefore tapered relative to the swivel handle area 28. The pivoted handle region 28 is approximately flush with the side wall 29 of the handle 8 in the assembled state.

Im Bereich des Gelenkes 3 sind die Zangenelemente 1, 2 jeweils mit einem länglichen Einschnitt 30, 31 für eine Schenkelfeder 32 versehen. Dabei ist der eine Einschnitt 30 mit einer glatten Einführschräge 33 und der andere Einschnitt 31 mit einem Halteabsatz 34, der ein Zurückrutschen der Schenkelfeder 32 verhindert, versehen. Die Schenkelfeder 32 übt eine Kraft in Richtung Öffnen der Zangenelemente 1, 2 aus.In the area of the joint 3, the pliers elements 1, 2 are each provided with an elongated incision 30, 31 for a leg spring 32. The one incision 30 is provided with a smooth insertion bevel 33 and the other incision 31 is provided with a holding shoulder 34 which prevents the leg spring 32 from slipping back. The leg spring 32 exerts a force in the direction of opening the pliers elements 1, 2.

Zum bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch des Zangendosenöffners wird zunächst das Schwenkgriff-Halteelement 12 in Pfeilrichtung 35 gegen die Kraft der Druckfeder 14 verschwenkt. Dadurch löst sich der Haltehaken 19 aus dem Haltesteg 22 ; die beiden Zangenelemente 1, 2 werden durch die Wirkung der Schenkelfeder 32 gemäß der Pfeile 36 geöffnet. Danach wird der Zangendosenöffner in bekannter Weise auf eine zu öffnende Dose aufgesetzt und die Schneid-und Antriebselemente 6 durch Zusammendrücken der Handgriffe 7 und 8 in Eingriff gebracht. Dabei wird der Haltehaken 19 an der Anlaufschräge 23 ausgelenkt und am Haltesteg 22, wie in Figur 1 dargestellt, eingehakt. Die beiden Zangenelemente 1, 2 sind sicher verriegelt.For the intended use of the pliers can opener, the swivel handle holding element 12 is first pivoted in the direction of arrow 35 against the force of the compression spring 14. As a result, the retaining hook 19 is released from the retaining web 22; the two pliers elements 1, 2 are opened by the action of the leg spring 32 according to the arrows 36. The pliers can opener is then placed in a known manner on a can to be opened and the cutting and drive elements 6 are brought into engagement by pressing the handles 7 and 8 together. The holding hook 19 is deflected on the run-up slope 23 and hooked onto the holding web 22, as shown in FIG. 1. The two pliers elements 1, 2 are securely locked.
