Abstract

The opener has a rectangular block shape formed from plastics, and is the size of a match box. A cylindrical tool (13) with a inner four-sided formation (14) is firmly, pivotably or exchangeably fixed to one of its smaller sides. The rectangular body (10) constituting the opener has a mouth opening (11) in which is fitted a blade (12) of a customary capsule lifter. It is possible to fix the cylindrical part pivotably on the rectangular body, so that it can be pivoted in a position altered through 90 degrees , even when the inner four-sided formation is not inserted. It is also possible for the cylindrical steel part to be fixed exchangeably and not pivotably to the rectangular body.

Die vorliegende Erfindung umfaßt nicht nur Flaschenöffner, Kapselheber sondern auch Kronenkorkenöffner und -verschließteile.The present invention includes not only bottle openers, Bottle opener but also crown cap opener and closure parts.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise erläutert.The invention is described below with reference to the drawing for example explained.

Die einzige Figur der Zeichnung zeigt eine schaubildliche Ansicht eines Flaschenöffnerwerkzeuges mit Zusatznutzen gemäß der Erfindung. The only figure in the drawing shows a graphic View of a bottle opener tool with additional benefits according to the invention.

In der Figur ist mit 10 der im wesentlichen quaderförmige Korpus eines Flaschenöffners gezeigt, und zwar ist bei der gezeigten Ausführungsform eine Maulöffnung 11 vorgesehen, in welcher sich eine Schneide 12 eines handelsüblichen Kapselhebers befindet.In the figure, 10 is the essentially cuboid Body of a bottle opener shown, namely at the In the embodiment shown, a mouth opening 11 is provided in which is a cutting edge 12 of a commercially available Capsule lift located.

Am gegenüberliegenden Ende des Flaschenöffnerteils ist der Korpus 10 mit einem zylindrischen Teil 13 ausgestattet, der einen Innenvierkant 14 besitzt. Der zylindrische Teil 13 kann in der gezeigten Stellung eingesetzt werden, und zwar steht er in diesem Falle von der großen Flache des Korpus 10 im wesentlichen senkrecht hervor. In dieser Lage kann der Korpus in der Hand gegriffen werden und mit genügender Kraft kann ein Außenvierkantteil gedreht werden, wenn sich dieser im Innenvierkantteil 14 befindet.At the opposite end of the bottle opener part is the Body 10 equipped with a cylindrical part 13, the has an inner square 14. The cylindrical part 13 can be used in the position shown, namely in this case it stands on the large surface of the body 10 essentially perpendicular. In this situation, the Body to be gripped in the hand and with sufficient strength an outer square part can be turned if this is located in the inner square part 14.

Es ist möglich, den zylindrischen Teil 13 schwenkbar an dem Korpus 10 zu befestigen, so daß er in eine um 90° veränderte Position im Vergleich zu der gezeigten Position verschwenkt werden kann, und zwar eben dann, wenn der Innenvierkantteil 14 nicht eingesetzt werden soll.It is possible to pivot the cylindrical part 13 on the Fasten the body 10 so that it changed into a 90 ° Position pivoted compared to the position shown can be, namely when the inner square part 14 should not be used.

Es ist ebenfalls denkbar, diesen zylindrischen Stahlteil 13 steckbar, auswechselbar oder in sich fest, also nicht verschwenkbar, am Korpus 10 zu befestigen.It is also conceivable for this cylindrical steel part 13 pluggable, exchangeable or fixed in itself, so not pivotable, to be attached to the body 10.
