Abstract

1. Corkscrew with a handle and with a protective sheath for storing the corkscrew spiral during the period of non-use, characterized in that at the protective sheath (10) a clamp (13) consisting of two projections is provided, which projections are designed such that they embrace a bottle neck.

Description

Die Erfindung bebezieht sich auf einen Korkenzieher mit einem Handgriff und mit einer Schutzhülle zur Aufbewahrung der Korkenzieherspirale während der Zeit der Nicht­benutzung.The invention relates to a corkscrew with a handle and with a protective cover for storing the corkscrew spiral when not in use.

Korkenzieher mit Schutzhüllen sind bekannt. Diese sind im wesentlichen zylinderförmig ausgestaltet, so daß sie die metallische Korkenzieherspirale und insbesondere die Spitze bei Nichtgebrauch gegen Berührung umschließen.Corkscrews with protective covers are known. These are essentially cylindrical in shape, so that they enclose the metallic corkscrew spiral and in particular the tip against contact when not in use.

Handgriffe von Korkenziehern können die verschieden­artigsten Formen annehmen, wobei ästhetische und gestal­terische Gesichtspunkte fast immer Vorrang vor einer ergo­nometrisch bedingten Ausgestaltung haben.Corkscrew handles can take a variety of forms, with aesthetic and design considerations almost always taking precedence over ergonomic design.

Der Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, einen Korken­zieher einerseits in seiner Aufbewahrungsmöglichkeit zu verbessern, andererseits aber auch den Handgriff bei seiner Handhabung selbst zu verbessern.The invention is based on the problem, on the one hand, of improving a corkscrew in its storage option, but on the other hand of improving the handle itself when handling it.

Erreicht wird dies durch einen Korkenzieher nach den Ansprüchen.This is achieved by a corkscrew according to the requirements.

Der Korkenzieher gemäß der Erfindung ist mit einer Halterung in Form eines Klemmteiles ausgebildet, so daß der Korkenzieher an irgendeinem Gegenstand mit Hilfe einer Art Schnappverbindung, insbesondere aber am Hals einer Flasche befestigt werden kann, und zwar so, daß der Schutz­hüllenteil dort verbleiben und der Korkenzieher zum Ent­korken einer Flasche verwendet werden könnte. In der Aufbewahrungslage hingegen ist die Korkenzieherspirale gegenüber jedweder Berührung von außen her abgedeckt.The corkscrew according to the invention is designed with a holder in the form of a clamping part, so that the corkscrew can be attached to any object by means of a kind of snap connection, but in particular on the neck of a bottle, in such a way that the protective cover part remains there and the corkscrew could be used to uncork a bottle. In the storage position, however, the corkscrew spiral is covered against any contact from the outside.

Der Handgriff des Korkenziehers gemäß der Erfindung hat im wesentlichen dreieckförmige Begrenzungsteile mit Prismaform. Am Schaft, dort wo der Korkenzieher am Handgriff befestigt ist, ist der Handgriff dünn ausgebildet und geht in eine zylindrische Form über. Am gegenüberliegenden Ende ist der Handgriff breit und eher ballig ausgebildet, um damit die Drehbewegung beim Einschrauben der Korken­zieherwendel in den Korken zu erleichtern. Für den Handgriff aber auch für die Schützhülle kommen dünnwandige Hohl körper in Frage, beispielsweise Kunststoff-Spritzgußteile, die aus Materialersparnis Durchbrüche haben können.The handle of the corkscrew according to the invention has essentially triangular boundary parts with a prism shape. On the shaft, where the corkscrew is attached to the handle, the handle is thin and changes into a cylindrical shape. At the opposite end, the handle is wide and rather spherical in order to facilitate the rotary movement when screwing the corkscrew spiral into the cork. Thin-walled cavities come for the handle but also for the protective cover body in question, for example plastic injection molded parts that can have breakthroughs to save material.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend an Hand der Zeichnung beispielsweise erläutert.

  • Fig. 1 zeigt eine Vorderansicht eines Korkenziehers gemäß der Erfindung, und zwar an einer Flasche gehaltert.
  • Fig. 2 zeigt eine Hinteransicht der voneinander ge­lösten Teile des Korkenziehers gemäß der Er­findung.
  • Fig. 3 zeigt eine vergrößerte Ansicht des Schutz­hüllenteiles von vorn.
  • Fig. 4 und 5 zeigen den Einsatz des Korkenziehers gemäß der Erfindung.
The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, for example.
  • Fig. 1 shows a front view of a corkscrew according to the invention, held on a bottle.
  • Fig. 2 shows a rear view of the detached parts of the corkscrew according to the invention.
  • Fig. 3 shows an enlarged view of the protective cover part from the front.
  • 4 and 5 show the use of the corkscrew according to the invention.

Der Korkenzieher gemäß der Erfindung besteht im wesent­lichen aus zwei Teilen 10 und 11. Es handelt sich um den Schutzhüllenteil 10 sowie um den Handgriffteil 11. Diese sind an und für sich verhältnismäßig ähnlich ausgebildet und bestehen, wie dies in Fig. 1 in der Vorderansicht zu erkennen ist, aus dreieckförmigen vorderen und (nicht ge­zeigt) hinteren Begrenzungsflächen. Diese Ausgestaltung läßt sich für den Schutzhüllenteil in Fig. 3 erkennen. Der Handgriffteil 11 ist entsprechend spiegelbildlich ausgestaltet.The corkscrew according to the invention consists essentially of two parts 10 and 11. It is the protective cover part 10 and the handle part 11. These are in themselves relatively similar in design and exist, as shown in Fig. 1 in the front view is recognizable from triangular front and (not shown) rear boundary surfaces. This configuration can be seen for the protective cover part in FIG. 3. The handle part 11 is designed in mirror image accordingly.

Am Schutzhüllenteil 10 befindet sich eine Buchse 15, welche einen Durchgang 14 aufweist. Weiterhin ist an der Buchse 15 eine Klemmvorrichtung 13 befestigt, welche aus zwei im Abstand zueinander angeordneten Vorsprüngen gebildet ist. Die Abstände der beiden Vorsprünge sind so gewählt, daß sie beispielsweise um den Hals einer Flasche gelegt werden können, so daß der Schutzhüllenteil 10 dort befestigt werden kann.On the protective cover part 10 there is a socket 15 which has a passage 14. Furthermore, a clamping device 13 is fastened to the bush 15, which is formed from two projections arranged at a distance from one another. The distances between the two projections are chosen so that they can be placed around the neck of a bottle, for example, so that the protective cover part 10 can be attached there.

In Fig. 2 ist der Handgriffteil 11 zu erkennen. Dieser ist mit einem zylindrischen Schaft 16 ausgebildet, von dem aus die Korkenzieherwendel 12 vorsteht. Durch unterbrochene Linien und einen Pfeil ist zu erkennen, wie die Korken­zieherspirale 12 mit der Schutzhülle 10 zusammenge­ setzt werden kann. Fig. 3 läßt erkennen, daß die Korken­zieherspirale 12 und auch der Schaft 16 in die Öffnung 14 eingeführt bzw. dort hindurchgeschoben werden können, so daß die Öffnung 14 der Buchse 15 den Schaft 16 lösbar aufnimmt. Die vorangehend beschriebene Lage stellt die Aufbewahrungslage dar, und es ist zu erkennen, daß die Korkenzieherwendel 12 durch die Begrenzungsteile des Schutzhüllenteiles 10 nach außen hin abgedeckt ist.The handle part 11 can be seen in FIG. This is formed with a cylindrical shaft 16 from which the corkscrew coil 12 protrudes. By broken lines and an arrow can be seen how the corkscrew spiral 12 together with the protective cover 10 can be set. Fig. 3 shows that the corkscrew spiral 12 and also the shaft 16 can be inserted into the opening 14 or pushed through it, so that the opening 14 of the socket 15 detachably receives the shaft 16. The position described above represents the storage position, and it can be seen that the corkscrew coil 12 is covered by the boundary parts of the protective cover part 10 to the outside.

Fig. 4 zeigt wie der Handgriffteil 11 von der Hand einer menschlichen Person umfaßt werden kann, um die Korkenzieher­spirale 12 in einen Korken einzudrehen.FIG. 4 shows how the handle part 11 can be gripped by the hand of a human person in order to screw the corkscrew spiral 12 into a cork.

Fig. 5 läßt erkennen, daß im Bereich der einen Be­grenzungsfläche des Handgriffteiles 11 ein Kapselheber 20 eingelassen ist, der zum Entfernen eines Kronenkorkens oder einer Kapsel einer Flasche verwendbar ist.Fig. 5 shows that in the area of one boundary surface of the handle part 11, a bottle opener 20 is embedded, which can be used to remove a crown cap or a bottle capsule.
