Description

Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Korkenzieher, einen sogenannten Kellnerkorkenzieher, umfassend einen Handgriff, der an seinem freien Ende einen Schwenklagerabschnitt aufweist, an welchem ein erstes Schwenklager für eine in einen Korken einzuschraubende Korkenzieher-Wendel ausgebildet ist, sowie außerhalb des ersten Schwenklagers ein zweites Schwenklager für einen ersten, längeren Abstützarm mit einem ersten Auflageansatz zur Auflage auf einem Flaschenrand und einen zweiten, kürzeren Abstützarm mit einem zweiten Auflageabschnitt zur Auflage auf einem Flaschenrand.The invention is directed to a corkscrew, a so-called waiter corkscrew, comprising a handle which has at its free end a pivot bearing portion on which a first pivot bearing is designed for a corkscrew to be screwed into a corkscrew, and outside the first pivot bearing a second pivot bearing for a first, longer support arm with a first support lug for resting on a bottle edge and a second, shorter support arm with a second support portion for support on a bottle edge.

Ein gattungsgemäßer Kellnerkorkenzieher ist bekannt aus der EP 0 041 026 A1.A generic waiter corkscrew is known from EP 0 041 026 A1.

Ferner fällt die europanische Patentanmeldung EP 1 336 587 A1 unter Artikel 54(3) EPÜ.Furthermore, European patent application EP 1 336 587 A1 falls under Article 54 (3) EPC.

Der Erfindung liegt hiervon ausgehend die Aufgabe zu Grunde, die Handhabung eines derartigen Korkenziehers zu erleichtern.On this basis, the invention is based on the object to facilitate the handling of such a corkscrew.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass zwischen erstem und zweitem Abstützarm eine Feder derart angeordnet ist, dass der zweite, kürzere Abstützarm an den ersten, längeren Abstützarm gedrückt wird.This object is achieved in that between the first and second support arm, a spring is arranged such that the second, shorter support arm is pressed to the first, longer support arm.

Der erfindungsgemäße Korkenzieher weist zwei Hebelstufen auf. Die erste Hebelstufe liegt vor, wenn der zweite Auflageansatz beim Öffnen einer mit einem Korken verschlossenen Flasche auf dem Flaschenrand aufliegt, um den Korken teilweise aus der Flasche zu ziehen. Die zweite Hebelstufe des erfindungsgemäßen Korkenziehers liegt beim Öffnen einer Flasche vor, wenn der erste, längere Abstützarm gegenüber dem Flaschenrand abgestützt ist, sodass der durch die erste Hebelstufe teilweise aus der Flasche gezogene Korken vollständig aus der Flasche gezogen werden kann. Die zwischen den Abstützarmen angeordnete Feder bewirkt, dass der zweite, kürzere Abstützarm das vollständige Öffnen einer Flasche mit der zweiten Hebelstufe nicht behindert, in dem beispielsweise dessen Auflageansatz auf der oberen Stirnfläche des teilweise herausgezogenen Korkens anliegt. Durch die Feder wird der zweite, kürzere Abschnittsarm in eine Lage geschwenkt, in der er das weitere Öffnen der Flasche mit der zweiten Hebelstufe nicht stört. Dieses Verschwenken ist zwingend erforderlich, um die Funktion der zweiten Hebelstufe zu ermöglichen.The corkscrew according to the invention has two lever stages. The first level of leverage is when the second seat attachment rests on the edge of the bottle when opening a corked bottle to partially pull the cork out of the bottle. The second lever stage of the corkscrew according to the invention is present when opening a bottle, when the first, longer support arm supported against the edge of the bottle is such that the cork pulled partially out of the bottle by the first lever stage can be completely pulled out of the bottle. The arranged between the Abstützarmen spring causes the second, shorter support arm does not hinder the full opening of a bottle with the second lever stage, in which, for example, its support projection rests on the upper end face of the partially withdrawn cork. By the spring of the second, shorter section arm is pivoted to a position in which he does not interfere with the further opening of the bottle with the second lever stage. This pivoting is mandatory to allow the function of the second lever stage.

Vorzugsweise ist die Feder eine Drahtfeder. Diese Feder sorgt für eine besonders hohe Funktionssicherheit und nimmt äußerst wenig Platz im Korkenzieher in Anspruch.Preferably, the spring is a wire spring. This spring ensures a particularly high reliability and takes up very little space in the corkscrew.

Es ist zweckmäßig, dass der erste und der zweite Abstützarm im Querschnitt jeweils U-förmig ausgebildet sind und der zweite, kürzere Abstützarm in die U-Ausnehmung des ersten Abstützarms eingreift. Diese Ausgestaltung hat einerseits eine kompakte Form des zusammengeklappten Korkenziehers zur Folge. Andererseits bewirkt sie, dass der zweite, kürzere Abstützarm beim Öffnen einer verschlossenen Flasche mit der zweiten Hebelstufe nicht störend im Weg steht, da der zweite, kürzere Abstützarm in die U-Ausnehmung des ersten Abstützarms durch die zwischen den Abstützarmen angeordnete Feder geschwenkt wird.It is expedient that the first and the second support arm are each U-shaped in cross-section and the second, shorter support arm engages in the U-recess of the first support arm. This configuration has on the one hand a compact form of the folded corkscrew result. On the other hand, it causes the second, shorter support arm when opening a sealed bottle with the second lever stage is not disturbing in the way, since the second, shorter support arm is pivoted into the U-recess of the first support arm by the arranged between the support arms spring.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass die Drahtfeder am unteren Ende des ersten Abstützarms an dessen Boden befestigt ist und in die U-Ausnehmung des zweiten Abstützarms von dessen freiem Ende her eingreift. Aufgrund dieser Ausgestaltung ist die Drahtfeder nicht ersichtlich, was ein besonders ansprechendes Erscheinungsbild des Korkenziehers zur Folge hat. Diese Ausgestaltung bewirkt aber auch, dass der zweite, kürzere Abstützarm mit der Außenseite seines U-Bodens zur Anlage mit der Innenseite des U-Bodens des ersten, längeren Abstützarms kommt. Der Auflageansatz des zweiten, kürzeren Abstützarms ragt dabei nicht aus der U-Ausnehmung des ersten, längeren Abstützarms. Ein Öffnen einer mit einem Korken verschlossenen Flasche ist folglich mit der zweiten Hebelstufe problemlos möglich.A further advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the wire spring is secured at the bottom of the first support arm at the bottom thereof and engages in the U-recess of the second support arm from the free end thereof. Due to this configuration, the wire spring not apparent, which has a particularly appealing appearance of the corkscrew result. However, this embodiment also causes the second, shorter support arm comes with the outside of its U-bottom to rest with the inside of the U-bottom of the first, longer support arm. The support approach of the second, shorter support arm does not protrude from the U-recess of the first, longer support arm. Opening a closed bottle with a cork is therefore easily possible with the second lever stage.

Vorzugsweise ist im U-Boden des ersten, längeren Abstützarms eine Öffnung zum Verschwenken des zweiten, kürzeren Abstützarms vorgesehen. Durch diese Öffnung kann auf den zweiten, kürzeren Abstützarm eine Druckkraft ausgeübt werden, sodass dessen Auflageansatz zumindest teilweise aus der U-Ausnehmung des ersten Abstützarms geschwenkt wird und beim Öffnen einer Flasche mit der ersten Hebelstufe an dem Flaschenrand zur Anlage kommt, während der erste, längere Abstützarm am Flaschenhals der zu öffnenden Flasche anliegt.Preferably, an opening for pivoting the second, shorter support arm is provided in the U-bottom of the first, longer support arm. Through this opening, a pressure force can be exerted on the second, shorter support arm, so that its support projection is at least partially pivoted out of the U-recess of the first support arm and comes to rest when opening a bottle with the first lever stage at the edge of the bottle, while the first, longer support arm rests against the neck of the bottle to be opened.

Es ist zweckmäßig, dass an dem Schwenklagerabschnitt ein drittes Schwenklager für ein Klappmesser ausgebildet ist. Ein separates Messer muss somit nicht mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Korkenzieher mitgeführt werden. Das Klappmesser ist zum Kapselschneiden vorgesehen.It is expedient that a third pivot bearing for a folding knife is formed on the pivot bearing section. A separate knife does not have to be carried along with the corkscrew according to the invention. The folding knife is intended for capsule cutting.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass an dem Schwenklagerabschnitt ein Kronkorken-Öffnerabschnitt ausgebildet ist. Ein separater Kronkorken-Öffner ist somit nicht notwendig. Der erfindungsgemäße Korkenzieher ist multifunktional. Er umfasst eine Korkenzieher-Wendel und zwei Abstützarme zum Öffnen einer mit einem Korken verschlossenen Flasche, ein Klappmesser zum Kapselschneiden und einen Kronkorken-Öffner zum Öffnen von Flaschen, die mit einem Kronkorken verschlossen sind.A further advantageous embodiment is characterized in that on the pivot bearing portion a crown cork-Öffnerabschnitt is formed. A separate bottle cap opener is therefore not necessary. The corkscrew according to the invention is multifunctional. It comprises a corkscrew helix and two support arms for opening a bottle closed with a cork, a folding knife for capsule cutting and a Bottle cap opener for opening bottles closed with a crown cap.

Der kürzere Abstützarm 5 ist derart dimensioniert, dass er in die U-Ausnehmung 27 des längeren Abstützarms 4 eingreift. Die U-Ausnehmung 27 ist durch die U-Schenkel 23 sowie durch den die U-Schenkel 23 verbindenden U-Boden 28 gebildet. Im zusammengeklappten Zustand (Fig. 1 und Fig. 2) des Korkenziehers 1 umgreift der längere Abstützarm 4 zumindest teilweise den Handgriff 2, wobei sich zwischen dem Handgriff 2 und dem Abstützarm 4 die Korkenzieher-Wendel 3 erstreckt. Hierbei greift der kürzere Abstützarm 5 in die U-Ausnehmung 27 des längeren Abstützarms 4. Im U-Boden 28 und in einem oberen Teilbereich der U-Schenkel 23 ist eine längliche Öffnung 52 ausgebildet. Die Öffnung 52 beginnt im Bereich der Öffnungen 11.The shorter, in cross-section U-shaped support arm 5 has in the region of its hinged end 19, two continuous, circular recesses (not shown), which are each formed in its U-legs 20. Also in the longer, in cross-section U-shaped support arm 4 are in the region of the hinged end 21st two continuous, circular recesses 22 are provided, which are each formed in a U-leg 23 of the support arm 4. Through the recesses of the shorter Abstützarms 5, the recesses 22 and the openings 11 a hinge pin 24 is guided, whose ends are formed such that an axial displacement of the hinge pin 24 is only slightly possible. The hinge pin 24, the openings 11, the recesses of the shorter Abstützarms 5 and the recesses 22 together form a second pivot bearing 25 with a second pivot bearing axis 26 about which the support arm 4 and the support arm 5 with respect to the handle 2 are pivotable. The shorter support arm 5 is dimensioned such that it engages in the U-recess 27 of the longer support arm 4. The U-recess 27 is formed by the U-leg 23 and by the U-leg 23 connecting U-bottom 28. In the folded state (FIGS. 1 and 2) of the corkscrew 1, the longer support arm 4 at least partially surrounds the handle 2, wherein the corkscrew coil 3 extends between the handle 2 and the support arm 4. In this case, the shorter support arm 5 engages in the U-recess 27 of the longer support arm 4. In the U-bottom 28 and in an upper portion of the U-leg 23, an elongated opening 52 is formed. The opening 52 begins in the region of the openings 11.

Zwischen dem längeren, einstückig ausgebildeten Abstützarm 4 und dem kürzeren, ebenfalls einstückig ausgebildeten Abstützarm 5 ist eine Drahtfeder 29 angeordnet. Die Drahtfeder 29 besteht aus einem Draht und weist einen konstanten, runden Querschnitt auf. Am unteren, freien Ende 30 des längeren Abstützarms 4 ist an der Innenseite seines U-Bodens 28 ein Befestigungskörper 31 angeordnet. Ein Ende der Drahtfeder 29 ist in diesen Befestigungskörper 31 geführt und dort fixiert. Das freie, nicht fixierte Ende der Drahtfeder 29 greift in die U-Ausnehmung 32 des kürzeren Abstützarms 5 von dessen freiem Ende her ein. Die U-Ausnehmung 32 des kürzeren Abstützarms 5 ist gebildet durch die U-Schenkel 20 sowie den die U-Schenkel 20 verbindenden U-Boden 33.Between the longer, integrally formed Abstützarm 4 and the shorter, also integrally formed Abstützarm 5 a wire spring 29 is arranged. The wire spring 29 consists of a wire and has a constant, round cross-section. At the lower, free end 30 of the longer support arm 4, a fastening body 31 is arranged on the inside of its U-bottom 28. One end of the wire spring 29 is guided in this fixing body 31 and fixed there. The free, unfixed end of the wire spring 29 engages in the U-recess 32 of the shorter Abstützarms 5 from its free end. The U-recess 32 of the shorter support arm 5 is formed by the U-legs 20 and the U-legs 20 connecting U-bottom 33rd

Der Korkenzieher 1 umfasst des Weiteren ein Klappmesser 34 mit gewellter Klinge 53. In einem Gelenkabschnitt 35 des Klappmessers 34 ist eine kreisförmige Öffnung 36 ausgebildet, die senkrecht zu der Längserstreckung des Klappmessers 34 verläuft. Ein Gelenkbolzen 37 durchdringt sowohl die Öffnung 36 des Klappmessers 34 als auch die in dem Schwenklagerabschnitt 7 ausgebildeten Öffnungen 12, wobei der Gelenkbolzen 37 derart fixiert ist, dass er nur geringfügig, axial verschoben werden kann. Der Gelenkbolzen 37, die Öffnung 36 und die Öffnungen 12 bilden zusammen ein drittes Schwenklager 38 mit einer dritten Schwenklagerachse 39. Das Klappmesser 34 ist bezüglich dem Handgriff 2 um die Schwenklagerachse 39 verschwenkbar. Die Schwenklagerachsen 18, 26, 39 verlaufen parallel zueinander.The corkscrew 1 further comprises a folding knife 34 with corrugated blade 53. In a hinge portion 35 of the folding knife 34, a circular opening 36 is formed which is perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the folding knife 34. A hinge pin 37 penetrates both the opening 36 of the folding knife 34 and the openings 12 formed in the pivot bearing portion 7, wherein the hinge pin 37 is fixed so that it can be moved only slightly, axially. The hinge pin 37, the opening 36 and the openings 12 together form a third pivot bearing 38 with a third pivot bearing axis 39. The folding knife 34 is pivotable relative to the handle 2 about the pivot bearing axis 39. The pivot bearing axes 18, 26, 39 are parallel to each other.

In dem Handgriff 2 ist eine Blattfeder 40 untergebracht, deren eines Ende 41 um den Gelenkbolzen 24 geführt ist, um dieses in seiner Position festzulegen. Die Blattfeder 40 erstreckt sich vom dem Gelenkbolzen 24 oberhalb des Gelenkbolzens 16 bis in den Betätigungsabschnitt 6 des Handgriffs 2. In dem Betätigungsabschnitt 6 ist die Blattfeder 40 derart gebogen, dass sie an der Innenseite des die U-Schenkel 9 verbindenden U-Bodens 42 anliegt. Nach der Biegung im Betätigungsabschnitt 6 verläuft die Blattfeder 40 zurück in Richtung auf den freien Endabschnitt 13 des Schwenklagerabschnitts 7. Das freie Ende 43 der Blattfeder 40 liegt an der ebenen Unterkante 56 des angelenkten Gelenkabschnitts 35 des eingeklappten Klappmessers 34 an. Das Klappmesser 34 wird durch die Federkraft der Blattfeder 40 in seiner eingeklappten Stellung gehalten. Das freie Ende 43 der Blattfeder 40 ist nach unten verschwenkbar.In the handle 2, a leaf spring 40 is accommodated, whose one end 41 is guided around the hinge pin 24 in order to fix this in its position. The leaf spring 40 extends from the hinge pin 24 above the hinge pin 16 to the actuating portion 6 of the handle 2. In the operating portion 6, the leaf spring 40 is bent so that it bears against the inside of the U-leg 9 connecting U-bottom 42 , After bending in the operating portion 6, the leaf spring 40 extends back toward the free end portion 13 of the pivot bearing portion 7. The free end 43 of the leaf spring 40 abuts against the flat lower edge 56 of the hinged joint portion 35 of the folded folding knife 34. The folding knife 34 is by the spring force of the leaf spring 40 held in its folded position. The free end 43 of the leaf spring 40 is pivotable downwards.

Zwischen den im Schwenklagerabschnitt 7 ausgebildeten Öffnungen 11, 12 ist in jedem Steg 8 eine weitere, kreisförmige Öffnung 54 vorgesehen. Durch die Öffnungen 54 ist ein Anschlagstift 55 geführt und in seiner Position festgelegt. In der ausgeklappten Stellung (nicht dargestellt) liegt das Klappmesser 34 mit seiner ebenen Oberkante 57 an dem Anschlagstift 55 an, wodurch das Klappmesser 34 in dieser Endstellung fixiert ist. Die Blattfeder 40 liegt auch in der ausgeklappten Stellung des Klappmessers 34 an diesem an. Das Klappmesser 34 weist eine Griffausnehmung 58 auf, um ein besonders einfaches Verschwenken des Klappmessers 34 aus seiner eingeklappten Stellung zu ermöglichen.Between the openings 11, 12 formed in the pivot bearing section 7, a further, circular opening 54 is provided in each web 8. Through the openings 54, a stop pin 55 is guided and fixed in position. In the unfolded position (not shown), the folding knife 34 rests with its flat upper edge 57 on the stop pin 55, whereby the folding knife 34 is fixed in this end position. The leaf spring 40 is also in the unfolded position of the folding knife 34 at this. The folding knife 34 has a handle recess 58 to allow a particularly simple pivoting of the folding knife 34 from its folded position.

Der Korkenzieher 1 weist außerdem einen Kronkorken-Öffnerabschnitt 59 auf. Der Kronkorken-Öffnerabschnitt 59 ist im Schwenklagerabschnitt 7 des Handgriffs 2 zwischen den Öffnungen 10, 11 vorgesehen. Die in den beiden Stegen 8 ausgebildeten Kronkorken-Öffnerabschnitte 59 umfassen jeweils eine in etwa halbkreisförmige Aussparung 60 und einen spitzen Anlagevorsprung 61, der an die Aussparung 60 angrenzt. Zum Öffnen einer mit einem Kronkorken verschlossenen Flasche sind die Anlagevorsprünge 61 an die Unterkante des Kronkorkens anzulegen und eine Öffnungs-Kraft ist auf diese mit dem Handgriff 2 aufzubringen.The corkscrew 1 also has a crown cork opener section 59. The bottle cap opening portion 59 is provided in the pivot bearing portion 7 of the handle 2 between the openings 10, 11. The crown-opener sections 59 formed in the two webs 8 each comprise an approximately semicircular recess 60 and a pointed abutment projection 61 adjacent to the recess 60. To open a bottle closed with a crown cap, the abutment projections 61 are to be applied to the lower edge of the crown cap and an opening force is applied thereto with the handle 2.

Im Bereich des freien Endes 30 des längeren Abstützarms 4 ist ein erster Auflageansatz 44 ausgebildet. An den Auflageansatz 44 schließt sich eine abgerundete Ausnehmung 45 an, die dann in einen Spitzenbereich 46 des längeren Abstützarms 4 übergeht. Bei dem kürzeren Abstützarm 5 ist ein in Richtung auf die Korkenzieher-Wendel 3 hervorspringender Auflageansatz 47 vorgesehen.In the region of the free end 30 of the longer support arm 4, a first support lug 44 is formed. The support shoulder 44 is followed by a rounded recess 45, which then merges into a tip region 46 of the longer support arm 4. In the shorter support arm 5 is an in Direction of the corkscrew helix 3 protruding support projection 47 is provided.

Im Folgenden wird die Funktion des Korkenziehers 1 näher beschrieben. Zum Öffnen einer mit einem Korken 48 verschlossenen Flasche 49 (nur teilweise dargestellt) ist die Korkenzieher-Wendel 3 in den Korken 48 einzuschrauben. Vorteilhafterweise ist dabei der Handgriff 2 senkrecht zu der Korkenzieher-Wendel 3 ausgerichtet, sodass ein Einschrauben mit möglichst geringem Kraftaufwand möglich ist. Nach dem Einschrauben der Korkenzieher-Wendel 3 in den Korken 48 ist auf den kürzeren Abstützarm 5 durch die Öffnung 52 eine Druckkraft auszuüben, sodass der kürzere Abstützarm aus der U-Ausnehmung 27 des längeren Abstützarms 4 geschwenkt wird. Der Auflageansatz 47 des kürzeren Abstützarms 4 kann nun auf den Flaschenrand 50 der Flasche 49 durch Verschwenken des Handgriffs 2 und des kürzeren Abschnittsarms 5 relativ zu der Korkenzieher-Wendel 3 aufgelegt werden. Der Auflageansatz 47 ist gegenüber dem Flaschenrand 50 abzustützen. Der längere Abstützarm 4 liegt an dem Flaschenhals 51 der Flasche 49 an. Wie aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich, ist der Handgriff 2 dabei gegenüber einer Horizontalen geneigt. Als nächstes ist das freie Ende des Betätigungsabschnitts 6 mit einer nach oben gerichteten Kraft zu beaufschlagen. Durch diese Kraft wird der Korken 48 teilweise aus der Flasche 49 gezogen. Um den Korken 48 vollständig aus der Flasche 49 zu ziehen, ist der Auflageansatz 44 des längeren Abstützarms 4 auf dem Flaschenrand 50 zu platzieren, was durch ein Verschwenken des Handgriffs 2 erfolgt. Wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich, ist der Handgriff 2 wieder gegenüber einer Horizontalen geneigt. Das freie Ende des Betätigungsabschnitts 6 ist wieder mit einer nach oben gerichteten Kraft zu Beaufschlagen, um den Korken 48 vollständig aus der Flasche 49 zu ziehen. Durch die zwei Hebelstufen des Korkenziehers 1 ist ein besonders einfaches Öffnen einer mit einem Korken verschlossenen Flasche möglich.The function of the corkscrew 1 will be described in more detail below. To open a closed bottle with a cork 49 49 (only partially shown), the corkscrew coil 3 is screwed into the cork 48. Advantageously, while the handle 2 is aligned perpendicular to the corkscrew helix 3, so that screwing with the least possible effort is possible. After screwing the corkscrew helix 3 in the cork 48 is on the shorter support arm 5 through the opening 52 exerting a compressive force, so that the shorter support arm from the U-recess 27 of the longer support arm 4 is pivoted. The support tab 47 of the shorter support arm 4 can now be placed on the bottle rim 50 of the bottle 49 by pivoting the handle 2 and the shorter section arm 5 relative to the corkscrew helix 3. The support projection 47 is to be supported against the edge of the bottle 50. The longer support arm 4 abuts against the bottle neck 51 of the bottle 49. As can be seen from Fig. 3, the handle 2 is inclined relative to a horizontal. Next, the free end of the operating portion 6 is to be applied with an upward force. By this force, the cork 48 is partially pulled out of the bottle 49. In order to pull the cork 48 completely out of the bottle 49, the support projection 44 of the longer support arm 4 is to be placed on the bottle rim 50, which is done by pivoting the handle 2. As can be seen from Fig. 4, the handle 2 is again inclined relative to a horizontal. The free end of the actuating portion 6 is again applied with an upward force to pull the cork 48 completely out of the bottle 49. By the two lever stages of the corkscrew 1 is a particularly simple opening a bottle closed with a cork possible.
