Abstract

A bottle opener for threaded caps can be used to remove bottle closures of any size. A conical bore without stepped gradations is made in a handy-shaped piece of plastic made from a single material with a high coefficient of adhesion. As the bore traverses the piece of plastic, caps clamped in the bottle opener can be removed simply by pressing downward with a finger. Because of its simple, handy and practical configuration, the bottle opener is extremely easy to use. A second version with an inset metal clamp (3) can be used to open bottles with crown caps. As the entire bottle opener is made of one material, it can be manufactured very cheaply.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Flaschenöffner insbesondere für Flaschen mit Drehschraubverschlüssen aus Plastik oder Metall sowie mit aufgeklemmten oder aufgeschraubten Kronenverschlüssen, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a bottle opener, in particular for bottles with screw-type screw closures made of plastic or metal, and with clamp-on or screw-on crown closures, according to the preamble of claim 1.

In einer Vielzahl von Fällen ist es einfach einen Drehschraubverschluß mit der bloßen Hand zu öffnen. Andererseits stößt man hierbei nicht selten auf die unterschiedlichsten Probleme. So gibt es z. B. Flaschen, welche so stark verschlossen sind, daß sie kaum von Hand geöffnet werden können. Im weiteren haben gerade Frauen und ältere Menschen mit ihren feingliedrigen und nicht allzu kräftigen Fingern Mühe, solche Drehverschlüsse zu öffnen. Eine Gefahr besonderer Art lauert vor allem bei verschlußgesicherten Flaschen. Die Aluminium- oder auch die Plastikverschlüsse, die zur Sicherheit mit Schutzringen versehen sind, haben die Eigenart, beim Öffnen der Flasche zum Teil scharfe Kanten freizugeben, welche zu Verletzungen führen können. Gerade im Falle von Gaststuben und Festzelten, in denen in großen Mengen Flaschen geöffnet werden müssen, ist das Öffnen von Hand mühsam und kräfteraubend und das Risiko einer Schnittverletzung entsprechend hoch.In many cases it is easy to open a screw cap with your bare hand. On the other hand, it is not uncommon to encounter a wide variety of problems. So there are z. B. bottles that are so tightly closed that they can hardly be opened by hand. Furthermore, women and older people with their delicate and not too strong fingers have trouble opening such twist locks. A special kind of danger lurks especially in the case of bottles that are secured with a lock. The aluminum or plastic caps, which are provided with protective rings for safety, have the peculiarity of releasing sharp edges when opening the bottle, which can lead to injuries. In the case of restaurants and marquees, where bottles have to be opened in large quantities, opening them by hand is laborious and exhausting and the risk of a cut is correspondingly high.

Um dieser Gefahr entgegenzuwirken ist es beispielsweise bekannt, die Flaschendeckel mit einem Klemmgerät, ähnlich einer Zange, festzuhalten und aufzudrehen. Abgesehen davon, daß diese zangenförmigen Klemmgeräte in der Handhabung zumeist unpraktisch und ergonomisch unvorteilhaft geformt sind, wird durch die ungleichmäßig verteilte Krafteinwirkung auf den Flaschendeckel dieser nicht selten deformiert oder gar zusammen mit dem Flaschenhals der zu öffnenden Flasche zerquetscht.In order to counteract this danger, it is known, for example, to hold the bottle cap with a clamping device, similar to a pair of pliers, and to unscrew it. Apart from the fact that these pincer-shaped clamping devices are mostly impractical and ergonomically disadvantageously shaped, the bottle cap is often deformed or even crushed together with the bottle neck of the bottle to be opened due to the unevenly distributed force acting on the bottle cap.

In der US-A-2,631,482 wird ein kegelstumpfförmig aufgebauter Öffner vorgeschlagen, der ein durchgehendes konisches Loch mit geriffelter Lochwandung aufweist und mit dem Drehschraubverschlüsse unterschiedlicher Größe bei gleichmäßig verteilter Krafteinwirkung auf die Schraubverschlüsse geöffnet werden können.In US-A-2,631,482 a frustoconical opener is proposed, which has a continuous conical hole with a corrugated hole wall and can be opened with the screw caps of different sizes with evenly distributed force on the screw caps.

Die verschlossene Flasche wird dazu mit dem Verschluß in das konische Loch, welches als klemmender Aufnehmer dient, eingeführt und solange gedreht, bis der Flaschenverschluß gelockert bzw. entfernt ist.For this purpose, the closed bottle is inserted with the closure into the conical hole, which serves as a clamping receptacle, and rotated until the bottle closure is loosened or removed.

Zwar wird durch diesen bekannten Öffner das Öffnen einer Flasche entscheidend erleichtert und die angesprochene Zerstörung des Flaschenhalses durch eine ungleichmäßige Belastung weitestgehend vermieden, jedoch ist insbesondere die Tatsache nachteilig, daß durch die scharfkantige Riffelung der Lochwandung die zu entfernenden Flaschendeckel festgeklemmt und abgeschert oder zumindest stark mechanisch verformt werden, was insbesondere einer Wiederverwendbarkeit der Drehschraubverschlüsse abträglich ist bzw. die Verschlüsse für einen weiteren Gebrauch zerstört. Die Formgebung des bekannten Öffners und die Gestaltung der Außenoberfläche als glatte kegelstumpfförmige Fläche implizieren weiterhin ein schlechtes Erfassen mit der Hand und damit die Gefahr eines Abrutschens beim Drehen.Although this known opener makes opening a bottle considerably easier and largely avoids the destruction of the bottle neck due to an uneven load, the fact that the bottle cap to be removed is clamped and sheared or at least strongly mechanically by the sharp-edged ribbing of the hole wall is particularly disadvantageous are deformed, which is particularly detrimental to reusability of the screw-type closures or destroys the closures for further use. The shape of the known opener and the design of the outer surface as a smooth frustoconical surface further imply poor grasping by hand and thus the risk of slipping when turning.

Auch sind Flaschenöffner für die vor allem bei kleinen Bierflaschen und Kaffeerahmflaschen verwendeten Klemm-/Kronenverschlüsse - die von Hand überhaupt nicht zu öffnen sind - unentbehrlich. Es gibt zwar neuerdings aufgeschraubte Kronenverschlüsse, die zur Not von Hand geöffnet und sogar wieder verschlossen werden können, aber die Schnittgefahr ist sehr groß, da die Zacken der Metallkrone teilweise messerscharf sind. Bei den bekannten Flaschenöffnern für Kronenverschlüsse gelten dieselben Schwierigkeiten und Nachteile, u. a. auch hinsichtlich der mechanischen Deformation beim Öffnen, wie sie zuvor im Zusammenhang mit den Drehschraubverschlüssen erwähnt worden sind.Bottle openers are also indispensable for the clamp / crown closures used in small beer bottles and creamer bottles, which cannot be opened by hand at all. There have recently been screwed-on crown closures, if necessary by hand can be opened and even closed again, but the risk of cutting is very high, since the teeth of the metal crown are sometimes razor-sharp. In the known bottle openers for crown closures, the same difficulties and disadvantages apply, among other things also with regard to the mechanical deformation when opening, as previously mentioned in connection with the screw-type closures.

Gemäß der Erfindung soll daher ein Flaschenöffner sowohl für Drehschraub- als auch für Klemmverschlüsse geschaffen werden, bei welcher die insbesondere bezüglich des Standes der Technik aufgezeigten Nachteile mit Hilfe einfacher Konstruktionsmerkmale beseitigt werden.According to the invention, therefore, a bottle opener is to be created both for screw-type and for clamp closures, in which the disadvantages shown in particular with regard to the prior art are eliminated with the aid of simple design features.

Diese Aufgabe wird im Zusammenhang mit Drehverschlüssen erfindungsgemäß durch die im Kennzeichen des Anspruchs 1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst und die vorteilhafte Weiterbildung gemäß Anspruch 8 stellt eine Lösung für die Probleme bei Klemmverschlüssen dar.This object is achieved in connection with twist locks according to the invention by the features listed in the characterizing part of claim 1 and the advantageous further development according to claim 8 represents a solution to the problems with clamp locks.

Dabei spielen zwei entscheidende Vorteile eine Rolle, nämlich Handlichkeit und die Einfachheit dieses Cerätes. Die äussere Gestalt des Oeffners wurde massgebend im Hinblick auf ein gutes Erfassen mit der Hand konzipiert. Dadurch, dass der abgerundete Flaschenöffner auf der Aussenfläche im Abstand der menschlichen Finger kleine Anschnittflächen 1 bekommt, wird die Gefahr des Abrutschens beim Drehen stark reduziert. Aber auch in der Wahl der Grösse hat man dafür gesorgt, dass dieser Flaschenöffner gut in der Hand liegt, indem diese so gewählt wurde, dass er mit den Fingern gut umfasst werden kann. Damit wird zusammen mit den Anschnittflächen 1 ein optimaler Halt beim Oeffnen gewährleistet.Two decisive advantages play a role here, namely handiness and the simplicity of this Cerätes. The outer shape of the opener was designed to be easy to grasp by hand. Because the rounded Bottle opener gets small gates 1 on the outer surface at a distance from the human fingers, the risk of slipping when turning is greatly reduced. But also in the choice of size, it was ensured that this bottle opener lies comfortably in the hand by choosing it so that it can be easily gripped with the fingers. This, together with the cut surfaces 1, ensures an optimal hold when opening.

Zusätzlich wählte man beim Material für diesen Flaschenöffner einen Kunststoff mit einem hohen Haftreibungskoeffizienten. Gleichzeitig war man dafür besorgt, dass der ganze Oeffner nur aus einem einzigen Werkstoff besteht, nämlich dem oben genannten Kunststoff. Auf diese Weise muss man bei der Herstellung nur einen einzigen Werkstoff bearbeiten, wodurch die Fabrikationskosten erheblich gesenkt werden können.In addition, a plastic with a high coefficient of static friction was chosen for the material for this bottle opener. At the same time, care was taken to ensure that the entire opener consists of only one material, namely the plastic mentioned above. In this way, only one material has to be processed during production, which can significantly reduce manufacturing costs.

Mit der Wahl eines Materials mit hohem Haftreibungskoeffizienten kann auf eine sonst übliche Gummi-Einlage an der Lochwandung verzichtet werden, ohne dass man deshalb beim Drehen zum Oeffnen der Flasche am Deckel abrutscht.With the choice of a material with a high coefficient of static friction, there is no need for an otherwise usual rubber insert on the perforated wall without having to slide off the lid when turning to open the bottle.

Auf den Figuren 1 und 2 sehen wir diesen Flaschenöffner im Grund- und Seitenriss. Aus diesen beiden Abbildungen ist die Anordnung der Anschnittflächen 1 ersichtlich, welche rundherum angebracht wurden.In Figures 1 and 2 we see this bottle opener in the floor and side plan. From these two figures, the arrangement of the cut surfaces 1 can be seen, which were attached all around.

Aus Figur 1, welche auf der linken Seite der Abbildung einen Querschnitt durch den Seitenriss zeigt, sind zwei weitere entscheidende Verbesserungen gegenüber bereits bestehenden Flaschenöffnern ersichtlich. Dadurch, dass nämlich die Bohrung 2 in der Mitte des Flaschenöffners eine konische Form aufweist, welche nicht wie bei anderen Modellen treppen- oder stufenförmig geformt ist, erhält man die Gewährleistung, dass der Flaschenöffner für alle Zwischengrössen geeignet ist und dass es keine Deckelgrössen zwischen dem kleinst- und grösstmöglichen Deckel gibt, für welche der Flaschenöffner ungeeignet wäre.From Figure 1, which shows a cross section through the side view on the left side of the figure, two further decisive improvements over existing bottle openers can be seen. The fact that the hole 2 in the middle of the bottle opener has a conical shape, which is not shaped like a staircase or step, as in other models, ensures that the bottle opener is suitable for all intermediate sizes and that there are no lid sizes between the two smallest and largest possible lids for which the bottle opener would be unsuitable.

Gleichzeitig erhalten wir aber, dadurch dass keine treppenförmige Abstufung an der Bohrung vorhanden ist, sondern eine glatte Oberfläche, die Gewähr, dass dieser Flaschenöffner leicht zu reinigen ist.At the same time, however, due to the fact that there is no step-like gradation at the hole, but a smooth surface, we get the guarantee that this bottle opener is easy to clean.

Ein weiterer Vorteil dieser Bohrung 2 besteht darin, dass sie durchgehend ist, so dass wir also nicht nur unten ein Loch haben, sondern auch oben. Dies hat zur Folge, dass ein festgeklemmter Flaschendeckel ohne weiteres von oben her mit dem Finger wieder hinausgedrückt werden kann.Another advantage of this hole 2 is that it is continuous, so that we not only have a hole at the bottom, but also at the top. The result of this is that a clamped bottle cap can easily be pushed out with your finger from above.

Vom oben beschriebenen Flaschenöffner ist eine zweite Version gemäss Figur 3 und Figur 4 abgeleitet, welche zusätzlich das Entfernen von aufgeklemmten Kronenverschlüssen ermöglicht. Ein Metallbügel 3 ist zu diesem Zweck in den Flaschenöffner eingegossen oder eingeklebt. Mit dem Metallbügel 3 kann der Kronenverschluss auf einfachste Weise von der Flasche gelöst werden. Dazu wird dieser unter den Rand des Kronenverschlusses eingehakt und der Flaschenöffner als Hebel benutzt. Der Ring 4 dient nicht nur zur Befestigung des Metallbügels am beziehungsweise im Kunststoff-Flaschenöffner, sondern verleiht diesem auch die notwendige Steifigkeit, um ihn als Hebel gebrauchen zu können.From the bottle opener described above, a second version according to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 is derived, which additionally Allows removal of clamped crown closures. A metal bracket 3 is poured or glued into the bottle opener for this purpose. With the metal bracket 3, the crown closure can be released from the bottle in the simplest way. To do this, hook it under the edge of the crown fastener and use the bottle opener as a lever. The ring 4 is not only used to attach the metal bracket to or in the plastic bottle opener, but also gives it the necessary rigidity to be able to use it as a lever.

Mit dem hier beschriebenen Patent ist es dem Erfinder somit gelungen, eine zweckmässige, komfortable und gleichzeitig handliche Lösung für das anfangs erwähnte Problem zu finden. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass die einfache, aber trotzdem handgerechte Form mit einer durchgehenden konischen Bohrung 2 ohne treppenartige Abstufungen und die Verwendung eines einzigen Materials mit hohem Haftreibungskoeffizienten uns all die beschriebenen Vorteile bringen.With the patent described here, the inventor has thus succeeded in finding an expedient, comfortable and at the same time handy solution to the problem mentioned at the beginning. It has been shown that the simple, but nevertheless handy form with a continuous conical bore 2 without step-like gradations and the use of a single material with a high coefficient of static friction bring us all the advantages described.
