Definitions

  • the invention relates to a manually operated device for opening the closure of a container, in particular a bottle opener or the like, with a handle and an opener blade attached to it.
  • Bottle openers of this type with opener blades in the form of bottle openers (for crown caps) or corkscrews are known in various designs. It is also known to offer such bottle openers in a wide variety of forms for advertising purposes, in particular the handle being individually designed, while the opener blade is adapted to the closure of the bottle to be opened.
  • the present invention is based on the idea of using such a sound reproduction device known per se in a hand-operated device for opening the closure of a container, in particular in a bottle opener or the like automatically trigger proper handling of the bottle opener or the like.
  • a device of the type mentioned is characterized by an electronic sound reproduction device built into the handle and a trigger contact connected to the sound reproduction device which can be actuated when the opening blade is attached to the closure of the container.
  • the opener blade is preferably movably mounted on the handle and the trigger contact can be actuated when the closure is being attached and opened.
  • an advantageous embodiment can consist in the fact that the triggering contact has electrodes which are electrically bridged by the closure blade when it is attached to the closure.
  • electronic sensor contacts on the handle in the grip area, which can be bridged when handling the device or when attaching the opener blade to the closure. This measure makes special training and movable mounting of the opener blade unnecessary.
  • the opener blade can either be designed as a bottle opener or as a corkscrew; it is also possible to provide both types of openers. In the latter case it is possible, depending on the use of one or other opener to play one of two different stored tone sequences.
  • the opener blade is designed as a bottle opener, it is possible to form it in two parts, the two metallic parts of the bottle opener blade being electrically insulated from one another. These two blade parts can be used appropriately switched as trigger electrodes, since they are conductively connected to one another when attached to the metallic capsule, whereby the sound reproduction device is activated. This embodiment is of particular interest when the bottle opener blade is inserted into a plastic part with a corresponding opening.
  • an electronic timer circuit is arranged between the trigger contact and the sound reproduction device, which is triggered by the release contact and the sound reproduction device for a predetermined period of time in the switched-on state holds. This ensures that the sequence of notes is played back completely, even if the trigger contact is actuated only briefly.
  • the duration of the timer circuit is preferably adapted to the duration of a complete sequence of tones.
  • a further advantageous embodiment is characterized in that a step switching element is provided with which the sound reproduction device can be switched to a different one of a plurality of stored tone sequences each time it is triggered. This makes it possible to assign different tone sequences to individual opening processes, which significantly increases the surprise effect of the device according to the invention.
  • the timer circuit provided according to an advantageous embodiment and / or the step switching element are expediently integrated into the entire electronic circuit, which considerably reduces the costs.
  • FIGS. 1a to 1d represents a manually operated device for opening the closure of bottles, which has both an opener blade 2 in the form of a bottle opener for crown caps and an opener blade 3 in the form of a corkscrew.
  • the handle 1 consists of two housing parts 11 and 12 which are screwed together.
  • the housing part 11 has been removed in the illustration according to FIG. 1 a in order to show the individual parts inside more clearly.
  • the opener blade 2 for crown caps is fastened at the upper end and has a bottle opener opening 21.
  • the opener blade 3 in the form of a corkscrew is by means of a Bearing pin 8 attached and can be folded out of a recess 7 in the handle 1.
  • These two opening blades (bottle opener and corkscrew) are of conventional design.
  • An electronic circuit 5 and an electroacoustic sound transducer 6 are provided in the interior of the handle 1 and these together form a sound reproduction device, in particular a music player, with which sound sequences or melodies stored in the electronic circuit can be played.
  • a sensor contact 4 is provided, which is bridged when the device is gripped on the handle 1 in the normal position of use and switches the sound reproduction device on.
  • Corresponding openings are provided in the bottom of the housing 1 (see FIG. 1d) so that the sound of the electroacoustic sound transducer 6 can be emitted to the outside.
  • FIGS. 1a to 1d represents a combined device that has both a bottle opener 2 and a fold-out corkscrew as opening blades, it is of course also possible to provide only one of the two opening blades 2 and 3.
  • FIG. 2 now shows a second embodiment in which the opener blade 2 designed as a bottle opener is mounted on the one hand between two projections 26 on the housing parts 11, 12 and on the other hand by a screw 10 in a threaded bore in the housing part 12.
  • an elastic bushing 25 is arranged between the inner leg 22 of the opener blade 2 and the housing part 12, so that the leg 22 at this point in the direction of the housing part 12 can be pressed.
  • a contact 23 is provided on the leg 22, which is opposite a fixed contact 24 in the housing part 12. Both contacts 23 and 24 are connected to the electronic circuit 5.
  • Fig. 3 now shows a block diagram of the sound reproduction device, which is controlled by suitable trigger contacts.
  • only one trigger contact 16 is provided, which controls a control circuit 52 via a timer circuit 51, which in turn supplies an electroacoustic sound transducer with its output signal.
  • the timer circuit 51 is used to give an actuation signal to the control circuit 52 regardless of the length of the closing of the trigger contact 16, the duration of which corresponds to the length of a full tone sequence or melody.
  • the trigger contact 16 - which is represented, for example, by the sensor contact 4 or the contacts 23 and 24 - close briefly.
  • control circuit 52 is designed such that, depending on the triggering by the contact 16 or 17, it reproduces one of two different tone sequences or melodies.
  • a step switching element 53 can be provided, which is advanced by one position each time a tone sequence is actuated and correspondingly played, in order to switch to a different tone sequence.
  • the electronic circuit 5 consisting of the control circuit 52, the timer circuit 51 and the step switching element 53 is expediently implemented in the form of a single integrated circuit for cost reasons.
  • FIG. 4a and 4b show a further embodiment in which the device according to the invention is in the form of a bottle and has a bottle opener on the bottom of the handle or housing 1 as an opener blade.
  • a contact plate 34 provided with a flattened portion 32 is embedded in the bottom, which is at a certain distance from the housing designed as an external contact 33.
  • the flat 32 is used as a bottle opener. If the device according to FIG. 4 with its bottle opener 32 is attached to an openable bottle with a crown cap made of conductive material, this connects the external contact 33 to the contact plate 34.
  • the external contact 33 and the contact plate 34 are connected via lines gen 35 and 36 connected to the electronic circuit 5 and control them accordingly.
  • the embodiment according to FIGS. 5a and 5b is also in the form of a bottle with a bottle opener. This is arranged on the side and consists of a bottle opener opening 42 in which two electrodes 43 and 44 are insulated from one another. These are in turn connected to the electronic circuit 5 via corresponding connecting wires.
  • the two electrodes 43 and 44 are bridged and accordingly control the electronic circuit 5, which outputs the corresponding output power to the electroacoustic transducer 6.
  • One or more sound sequences in the form of melodies (pieces of music), spoken texts or other sound signals, as well as combinations of such sound sequences, which are reproduced via the electroacoustic transducer, can be stored in the sound reproduction device.
