Definitions

  • the present descriptive invention refers to an improved corkscrew, the evident utility of which resides in its configuration as a device capable of extracting cork stoppers which close the mouth of a conventional bottle.
  • the invention which counts with a conventional helical element which is introduced by rotation into the cork, has two differentiated supports, that permit that, on exerting vertical force upon the handle of the invention, the ascending vertical force generated by the whole assembly, which extracts the cork, is carried out, throughout all of its trajectory, according to a substantially vertical direction, avoiding the oblique forces exerted with conventional corkscrews, which can break the corks while extracting them.
  • This invention has its application within the industry dedicated to the manufacture of elements and devices applicable in enology, more specifically, within the industry dedicated to the manufacture of corkscrews.
  • corkscrews constituted by a helical element with a pointed end that is articulated, at its opposite end, in the middle area of a handle which, at its end, has a body provided with a projection.
  • a corkscrew according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from US-A-3451076 .
  • the cork is extracted by exerting vertical force upon the handle at the time that the projection of the articulated body rests on the mouth of the bottle.
  • the helicoidal body, as well as the element having a projection, are both articulated to the handle, permits, on the one hand, to multiply the force exerted, because the whole assembly is configured as a lever, and, on the other, that the extraction force is exerted such that the line of action of the latter runs substantially parallel, and in a direction perpendicular to the plane in which the mouth of the bottle is defined.
  • corkscrews constituted by a piston-pump connected to a hollow needle that are capable, if the tip of needle longitudinally traverses the cork, of increasing the pressure within the volume delimited by the liquid contained in the bottle, the bottle itself and the cork, causing the latter to be expelled from its housing when the force exerted by the pressure upon the inner face of the cork exceeds the frictional stress existing between the side wall of the cork and the internal face of the neck of the bottle.
  • the improved corkscrew proposed by the invention constitutes an obvious novelty within its field of application, allowing the extraction of a cork stopper from the neck of a bottle without the need of performing direct traction of the former at any time, and without increasing the pressure at the liquid-gas interface within it.
  • the invention is constituted by a conventional helical body, articulated at the middle area of a handle, which presents two elements provided of articulated projections at both sides of the helicoidal element.
  • the elements having articulated projections have these oriented, in both cases, towards the helicoidal body, being the one closest to the handle shorter than that which is further away, being it possible for the assembly to incorporate articulated pocket-knife blades, bottle-openers, can-openers or the like.
  • the operation employing the improved corkscrew begins with the introduction of the helical body longitudinally into the cork by rotating the latter with the aid of the handle, subsequently pulling on handle, vertically and upwards, after resting the element provided with the shortest projection on the perimeter of the mouth of the bottle.
  • the second step in the operation which concludes with the full extraction of the cork stopper, is carried out by exerting a descending vertical push upon the handle, after resting the projection of the long element on the mouth of the bottle.
  • the outcome is a two-step extraction in which, at no time it becomes necessary to directly exert traction upon the cork stopper, or to increase the pressure of the gas at the interface within the bottle.
  • the improved corkscrew described is constituted by a helical body (1), articulated on its upper end (2) to a handle (3), to which in turn are articulated two elements provided of articulated projections at their ends (4) and (5).
  • the short element having a projection on its end (4) is articulated at the end of the handle (3), being its projection (41) oriented towards the helical body (1), in the same manner as projection (51) of the long element having a projection on its end (5), which is articulated next to articulation (2) of the helicoidal body (1).
  • the short element having a projection at its end (4) and the long element having a projection at its end (5) can be arranged parallel to the handle (3), minimising their size, being it possible to include into the assembly articulated cutting blades to cut the foil on the neck of the bottle, or conventional bottle-openers or can-openers.
  • the assembly may present a laterally cutting blade with a jagged edge, articulated to the handle.

Claims (2)

  1. Korkenzieher, bestehend aus einem Handgriff (3), einem kurzen (4) und einem langen Element (5) und einem schneckenförmigen Element (1), das an seinem oberen Ende (2) mit dem besagten Handgriff (3) verbunden ist, wobei das lange und das kurze Element an ihren jeweiligen Enden gelenkig mit dem Handgriff (3) verbunden sind und jedes der beiden Elemente mit einem stufenförmigen Absatz (41, 51) am jeweils anderen Ende versehen sind, wobei die besagten Absätze in Richtung des schneckenförmigen Elements orientiert sind. Das besagte längere Element ist dabei an einem Ende des Handgriffs (3) drehbar angebracht, das kürzere Element ist näher am Gelenk des schneckenförmigen Elements (1) drehbar montiert als das besagte längere Element, wobei kennzeichnend ist, dass sowohl das besagte kürzere als auch das besagte längere Element sich auf der selben Längsseite des Handgriffs befinden so dass im Gebrauch, wenn das schneckenförmige Element in die Flasche eingedreht wird, jeder der beiden besagten Absätze auf dem Rand des Flaschenhalses aufgesetzt werden kann, um so einen Hebeldrehpunkt zu bilden.
  2. Korkenzieher wie vorstehend beschrieben, mit der Besonderheit, dass das kurze (4) und das lange Element (5) parallel zum Handgriff eingeklappt werden können.
