Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to a manually-operated stopper extractor for a container filled with carbonated beverage, champagne, sparkling wine and the like, which is highly stable due to its self-centering support, having a very simple, effective mechanism utilizing an extracting yoke which prevents the stopper to be propelled under great force from the neck of the bottle.
  • stoppers have been made of natural cork due to the resilient features of this material, whose molecular resilient memory allows it to expand against the internal walls of the container neck which it closes.
  • corks made of plastic materials are used as well, having functional, constructive designs similar to those made of cork.
  • the voluminous head formed on the stopper allows for the manual removal thereof.
  • Champagne bottles are opened by hand, with the user grasping the bottle around the neck and pushing against the cork with his or her thumbs. This operation requires a manual force and a degree of skillfulness. After the stopper is first moved outward from the neck of the bottle, the internal pressure of the gases within the container finally causes the stopper to be violently and speedily removed or expelled from the bottle. Such an occurrence may cause the user to suffer eye injuries and other types of injuries. This extraction task is typical and known and is virtually never left to a female or a child to accomplish.
  • stoppers are provided with a head by which they are manually removed or they can be removed using manual extractors of different types.
  • Most manual extractors incorporate some type of a lever mechanism where the power arm is a manual handle. Strength is defined by means of a jaw provided for contacting the stopper and transmitting traction and rotation motion thereto. These manual mechanisms are used for removing stoppers in an attempt to make the task easier and quicker.
  • United States Patent No. 4,520,696 discloses an extraction tool having a unitary handle, a pair of side arms and a central jaw member which dislodge the stopper from the bottle neck.
  • United States Patent No. 4,519,277 relates to an extraction tool having a handle with one end having an opening wedge portion which is engageable with the head end of the stopper to wedge the stopper from the bottle.
  • neither of these patents provide a method or device to prevent the stopper from being propelled under great force from the bottle. In such an instance, the stopper may strike an object or the user may be injured during removal of the stopper from the bottle neck.
  • United States Patent No. 4,875,394 relates to a complex, difficult to use pliers-like device. Because the arms of the pliers remain away from the neck of the bottle, two hands are required to use the device. Accordingly, the risk of the bottle tipping and being unstable is a significant problem with such a device.
  • a stopper extracting/stopper insertion device is disclosed.
  • the extractor is a mechanism comprising a gear assembly with several linkages. This mechanism is subject to failures and frequently gets choked when being operated, thereby requiring the user to exert an additional force to remove the stopper, such task being inconvenient for the user.
  • United States Patent No. 4,598,613 discloses an extractor mechanism. This structure requires a side lever to move the mechanism. Because the fulcrum lies over a vertical elongated member, the force is exerted on the side of the bottle in an unbalanced condition which may cause the bottle to slip from the user's hands. United States Patent No. 4,680,993 also relates to an extractor mechanism having a lateral handle. Thus the force is exerted laterally and presents the risk of the bottle slipping from the user's hands.
  • United States Patent No. 4,947,711 discloses an extractor which is also based on an arm having a gear assembly. Such a complex structure is likely to become choked while being operated.
  • the present invention constitutes an improvement over the previous prior art devices because it can be operated with only one hand, and it is not necessary for the user to grasp the bottle.
  • the structure of the present invention is firmly mounted over the neck of the bottle with the handle projecting only a small portion from the frame of the extractor.
  • the present invention mechanism is based on a yoke which first engages the bottom of the head end of the stopper and then the yoke moves upwardly to dislodge the stopper from the neck of the bottle.
  • the present invention pertains to a manually operated stopper extractor for use with a container or bottle filled with a carbonated beverage, champagne, sparkling wine and the like.
  • the stopper extractor device includes a frame portion (a) comprising a self-centering support (b) arranged to engage the neck 1 of the bottle (e) to attain the controlled extraction of the stopper 5 from the bottle (e).
  • the actuation lever 11 is coupled by a linkage or posts 13 to an extraction yoke 19.
  • the extraction yoke 19 has an operative path rectilinear in motion relative to the bottom 6 of the head 5 of the stopper (f). This linear motion wedges the stopper between the throat 2 to engagement with the head 5, as will hereinafter be described.
  • the movement of the extraction yoke 19 is limited by a wall 18 engaging the intermediate portion 17 of the lever 11.
  • the stopper extractor may be applied to a bottle (e), filled with carbonated beverage, champagne, sparkling wine and the like, with the bottle having a neck 1 (FIG. 6) and a throat 2.
  • the throat 2 has an end ring rib 3 formed in adjacent portions of a spout 4 that serves as a wedge of the interior body 10 of the stopper (f), as shown in FIGS. 4-6.
  • the interior body 10 of the stopper (f) protrudes from the bottom 6 of the exterior end head 5 of the stopper.
  • the stopper extractor device comprises a frame (a) formed by positioning the self-centering support portion (b) over the bottle neck 1.
  • the self-centering support portion (b) has a self-centering end 7 surrounding the bottle (e), with the bottle neck 1 being the guide for the end 7, as shown in FIGS. 4-6.
  • the self-centering end 7 may be either tubular or funnel-shaped.
  • a supporting means comprising an interior projection 8 which, in different embodiments, may be formed by an interior protrusion or shoulder which serves as a support in the rib 3 of the throat 2, as shown in FIGS. 4-6.
  • a controlled-extraction housing for retaining the stopper (f) upon removal from the bottle in the detention housing or end 9.
  • This detention end 9, according to the present invention, may be closed or may present an opening 9; as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the extraction mechanism portion is comprised of an actuation lever 11 and an extraction yoke 19 which is engageable with the stopper (f).
  • the actuation lever 11 is pivotally mounted by a fulcrum 12 to the side support housing (d).
  • the power lever provides a handle 14 for operation of the extraction mechanism portion.
  • the yoke 19 is mounted to the lever 11 through a linkage or posts 13 mounted to the lever intermediate the ends thereof.
  • the flanges 15 of the yoke 19 join the intermediate portion 17 of the lever 11 through linkage posts 13. Between the flanges 15, the yoke 19 forms a recess bottom plate 16 disposed and positioned opposite of the intermediate portion 17, of the lever 11.
  • the flanges 15 are spaced apart and provide a slack or gap 18 when the lever 11 is in the outward vertical at-rest position, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the side support housing (d) communicates with the housing (c) by means of a side opening 22, the lower end of which acts as a sliding guide or wedge guide 21 for the yoke 19 to engage the bottom 6 of the head end 5 of the stopper (f).
  • linkage 13 is coupled to the yoke 19
  • the slack or gap 18 and said wedge guide 21 define and provide a rectilinear operating path of the yoke 19 within the housing (c) to engage bottom of the head end 5, as shown in FIG. 5.
  • Movement of the lever to the inner compressed actuated position lifts the stopper head 5 away from the throat spout 4.
  • the lever 11 has a resilient member 20, formed by a spring, which keeps the lever normally of the outward at-rest position.
  • the yoke 19 lies laterally opposite the base 6 of the head end 5 of the stopper (f) because the path of travel thereof is transverse to the longitudinal axis of the extractor when the lever is moved to the intermediate position.
  • the extraction frame (a) is mounted over the neck 1 of the bottle (e), the interior protrusion of the intermediate portion 8 and the self-centering end 7 of the self-centering support portion (b) orientate the wedge guide 21 around the throat 2 of the bottle.
  • the lever undertakes an arcuate path. Because of the linkage 13, the slack or gap 18 and the wedge guide 21, the yoke 19 moves in a rectilinear direction along the bottom 6 of the head end 5 of the stopper (f), the position as shown in FIG. 5. At this point, the intermediate portion 17 of the lever 11 hits the bottom facing 16 of the gap 18 and the lever 11 and the yoke 19 move in cooperation therefrom in an upwardly direction to engage the head 5 of the stopper (f), the position as shown in FIG. 6. Thus, the yoke 19 undertakes an arcuate operative path which diverges upwardly from the throat position 2 to dislodge the stopper (f) from the bottle neck.
  • the violent propulsion of the stopper (f) by the compressed gas of the beverage inside the bottle (d) is limited by the detention end 9 of the housing (c).
  • the stopper remains within the detention end 9 of the housing (c).
