Definitions

  • This invention refers to a corkscrew of the type incorporating an arm that rests on the lip of the bottle, and more specifically, of the type in which said arm is joined in an articulated manner to the handle of the corkscrew.
  • the object of the invention is to achieve, between the two articulated components of the corkscrew, the means to maintain the relative position chosen for these components stable, and for them to perform their role indefinitely over time.
  • a typical solution for a corkscrew consists of a spiral, intended to be inserted axially into the cork, joined to a handle in an articulated manner, which in its working position forms a "T" with said spiral; an arm which rests on the rim of the bottle is joined to one of the ends of the handle, forming a second-class lever, which significantly facilitates the extraction of the cork.
  • the axis through which the arm is joined to the handle in an articulated manner suffers wear and tear, causing a slackness that prevents the handle and arm from staying aligned, so that said arm swings toward a vertical position through mere gravity, hindering the action of placing the spiral in the cork and hurting the hand that holds the bottle.
  • the Spanish utility model E S 1 046 877-u whose owner is the applicant himself, describes a corkscrew according to the preamble of claim 1, and which, in the area of the axis of the articulated joint between the arm and the handle, a transverse spring is set, whose ends form coaxial, opposing pivots that emerge substantially to the outside of the handle and that act on the inner face of the lateral branches corresponding to the articulated arm, which in turn have a plurality of grooves that form a circumferential alignment concentric to the swing axis itself of the arm on the handle.
  • These grooves in a radial arrangement, form internal retaining teeth for the aforementioned pivots on the end of the referenced transverse spring, so that they maintain stability in any relative position between the arm and the handle, especially to prevent wear and tear of the connecting axis.
  • the corkscrew proposed by the invention incorporates a means of coupling the handle to the arm that resolves the problem that was discussed above, indefinitely ensuring relative stability between these two components, in any position chosen for them, in other words, during the corkscrew's useful life.
  • the invention consists of replacing the referenced transverse spring with a pair of toothed washers, specifically toothed in a radial direction, joined to each other by means of a small transverse, peripheral bridge, which makes them a one-piece assembly, with a "U" shape, in which said washers form the lateral branches, appreciably parallel, but tending to diverge because of the effect of the elastic nature of the bridge between them.
  • the arm (3) at the end where it is joined in an articulated manner to the handle (1), on which some holes (4) are established to allow the aforementioned swing axis (2) to pass through, incorporates a plurality of grooves (5) on the inner face of each of its lateral branches, circumferentially aligned around each hole (4) in a radial arrangement, designed to form part of the means for locking the arm (3) into place with respect to the handle (1).
  • the corkscrew incorporates a pair of toothed washers (6-6'), with their respective coaxial holes (7) to allow the swing axis (2) to pass through, so that said washers (6-6') are designed to be established between the handle (1) of the corkscrew and the respective lateral branches of the arm (3), as especially seen in figure 2.
  • each of these washers which are also in a radial arrangement, correspond in position with the grooves (5) on the arm (3), and produce an interlocking effect on these grooves, stabilizing the arm (3) in any angular position with respect to the handle (1).
  • the pair of washers (6-6') are connected to each other as one piece by means of a lateral bridge (9) which plays a dual role: on the one hand, it facilitates assembly of the washers (6-6'), as it forces them into a coaxial arrangement and at a pre-set distance from each other; and on the other hand, it acts as a component that immobilizes said washers in an angular direction with respect to the handle (1), as it forms a stop against the inner, curved and concave edge of the latter, as can also be seen in figure 2; so that while the washers (6-6') are kept stable in an angular direction, the grooves (5) on the arm (3) must move over the teeth (8) of the washers when the angular position of said arm (3) tries to change with respect to the handle (1).

Claims (2)

  1. Korkenzieher mit Gelenkarm, in der Art der Korkenzieher, die einen Griff (1) umfassen, der mit der Spirale zum Ziehen des Korkens verbunden ist; dieser Griff (1) nimmt an einem seiner Enden und im Zusammenspiel mit einer Schwingachse ( 2) in Gelenkart einen Haltearm (3) auf und bildet dabei einen Hebel, wo der Gelenkarm auch auf jeder der Innenseiten seiner seitlichen Abschnitte zum Umfang hin ausgerichtete Nuten (5) aufweist, die bezüglich des Lochs (4) radial angeordnet sind und es der Schwingachse (2) gestatten, durchzulaufen, wobei er sich dadurch kennzeichnet, dass er mit zwei gezahnten Scheiben (6-6') versehen ist, die ebenso zwischen dem Griff und dem Haltearm (3) mit der Schwingachse (2) verbunden sind und dabei so besonders zwischen dem besagten Hebel (1) und jedem der seitlichen Abschnitte des Arms (3) angebracht sind, dass ihre ebenfalls radial angeordneten Zähne (8) mit den Nuten (5) am Haltearm (3) ausgerichtet sind.
  2. Korkenzieher mit Gelenkarm gemäß Patentanspruch 1, der sich dadurch kennzeichnet, dass die beiden Scheiben (6-6') durch eine diese Scheiben (6-6') parallel und koaxial haltende seitliche Brücke (9) wie ein Teil miteinander verbunden sind, als wären die seitlichen Abschnitte ein "U", dessen Mittelabschnitt die Brücke (9) selbst ist, die auch einen Anschlag bilden, der den Winkel der Scheiben (6-6') bezüglich des Griffs (1) feststellt.
