Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sommelier corkscrew.
  • the effort communicated to the handle tends to tilt the support lever outward first, then after passage of the handle horizontally, to bring it inward, by moving in the same way the point of articulation of the handle and the articulation of the tire cap on the handle.
  • the plug is pulled askew and other of its theoretical vertical trajectory and that it is pressed against the wall of the container with a greater or lesser force. This has consequence of increasing friction and sometimes, for long stoppers, cause breakage of the cap and even breakage of the container neck.
  • Another solution consists in bringing the joints together on the handle, respectively, of the extractor and the support lever, to obtain a circular trajectory of the extractor axis over a smaller radius, and to be fitted the support lever for an additional set of fixed or articulated support notches.
  • This solution requires extracting the stopper by stopping the movement neck elevation, almost halfway, to lower it, to allow the installation of the second series of notches on the top of the container, then start the handle elevation again. This procedure improves, but does not prevent communication to the transverse efforts cap constraining it on the container and generating friction.
  • the notches support are formed by the two substantially perpendicular edges of a cutout in the corresponding cheek of the support lever.
  • the projecting edge substantially perpendicular to the axis longitudinal of the support lever bears on the top of the container; or the shape of this top varies from one type of container to another. Therefore for some containers the ring is flush with the top while for others it is set back from this vertex which, itself, has a straight edge, or is rounded.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a corkscrew sommelier who remedies the disadvantages exposed above and who allows extract a plug at once, and with less effort.
  • the support lever comprises, beyond its two juxtaposed support notches, an extension dorsal having a length between 0.4 and 0.6 times the distance between the axis of articulation of the lever and the face of the notches which comes on the top of the container, this extension being able to be held by the operator's hand and plated by its end against the neck of the container, while said face of each notch coming from the top of the container forms, with respect to the core of the lever, a angle (b) having a value between 75 ° and 85 °, so that it is first the end of each notch which comes to rest on the top of the container.
  • the lowering of the handle allows the support lever to return, by gravity, against the neck, until its two notches come by themselves ends resting on the top of the container.
  • This movement has for consequence of bringing the free end of the support lever closer to the neck of the container and facilitate its gripping by the free hand of the operator.
  • the support lever pivots until its free end rests against the container, situation by which it holds the articulation of the handle and thus avoids too great displacement transverse of this handle and the axis of articulation of the extractor above the stopper, thus allowing a practically vertical extraction of the stopper with reduced resistant effort.
  • the corkscrew sommelier is made up of a handle 2, one end of which is provided with a hinge 3 for a support lever 4.
  • the handle 2 comprises, near joint 3, another joint 5 on which one is articulated ends of a helical extractor 6 which, when it is not in position of use, be folded against the handle or retracted into it.
  • the handle also includes a hinge 6 for a blade 7, of cutting of the covering of the plug 10. This blade can be folded down in the handle, when not in use.
  • the support lever 4 has a U-shaped cross section whose core 4a is cut to form a bottle opener 8, and whose two cheeks 4b are each provided with a notch 9.
  • Each notch 9 is defined by two faces, a face 9a, capable of coming above the top of the container, and a face 9b capable of going along the neck of the container. These faces are connected by a rounded 17 and form between them an angle a whose value is of the order of 90 °.
  • the support lever 4 comprises, beyond the notches 9, a dorsal extension extending over a distance L, which is between 0.4 and 0.6 times the distance S between the axis of the joint 3 and the face 9a of each notch 9.
  • the value of L is between 20 and 30 millimeters, and excellent extractions are obtained with a value of around 25 millimeters.
  • the face 9a of each notch forms, with respect to the direction of the core 4a, an angle b having a value between 75 and 85 °.
  • the distance E between the joints 3 and 5 is of the order of 28 millimeters, and is therefore reduced compared to that of known corkscrews.
  • This figure 4 shows that the combination of this movement with that of vertical extraction of the plug 10 generates, on the support lever 4, a pivoting force in the direction of arrow 15. Thanks to the shape of the notches 9, and in particular of their faces 9a, 9b, the support lever 4 pivots towards the outside up to the contact of its free end 4c against the neck of the container, as shown in figure 5, if this end was not already in contact with this last. Indeed, for certain shape of collar and ring the end 4c comes in contact with the neck as soon as the notches are supported on the top.
  • the reduction in friction has the consequence of reducing the effort required to open a bottle, with the corollary reduction of fatigue for hotel staff and the possibility of opening a bottle, even by people with low physical strength.
  • this sommelier corkscrew adds a significant reduction in the effort to be supplied, even when used with long stoppers, i.e. having a length of the order of 55 to 60 millimeters.
  • the lever support 24 has a different general shape but provides the same effects when of an extraction. Made with a U-shaped section, this lever presents, almost its articulation 23 on the handle 22, a flat end face 24a, perpendicular to its general direction and coming, in the folded position, substantially in the extension of the straight end face 22a of the handle 22, as shown in Figure 7.
  • the handle 22 is provided at this end with a housing 30 for a knife blade 27.
  • FIG. 8 shows that this blade 27 is bent and has a branch 27a which is perpendicular thereto and through which it is articulated on the handle.
  • the branch 27a is also stored in a housing 30a of the handle, emerging from its face at the right end 22a.
  • FIG. 9, representing on an enlarged scale the end of the lever 24, shows that the face 9b of each of the juxtaposed notches 9 is not straight but is connected to the end 24c of the extension by a profiled edge 31 whose profile is larger and homothetic to the envelope of the profiles of necks and rings of receptacles which can be uncorked. More specifically the face 9b is connected to a convex rounding 32, connected to a concave curve 33, of larger radius and tangent to a straight line 34. The latter connects to a large radius end rounding 35.
  • This profile is determined so that, whatever the shape and position of the ring or neck, the end of the lever 24 can always come to bear on said neck to participate in the control movements of this lever.
